The Tragic Transformed
This book provides a novel way of looking at translational phenomena in contemporary performances of Attic tragedies via the formidable work of three directors, each of whom bears the aesthetic imprint of Samuel Beckett: Theodoros Terzopoulos, Şahika Tekand and Tadashi Suzuki. Through a discerningly transdisciplinary approach, translation becomes re(trans)formed into a mode of physical action, its mimetic nature reworked according to the individual directors’ responses to Attic tragedies. As such, the highly complex notion of mimesis comes into prominence as a thematic thread, divulging the specific ways in which the pathos epitomised in the works of Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides is reawakened on the contemporary stage. By employing mimesis as a conceptual motor under the overarching rubric of the art of tragic theatre, the monograph appeals to a wide range of scholarly readers and practitioners across the terrains of Translation Studies, Theatre Studies, Classical Reception, Comparative Literature and Beckett Studies.
Performances of Capitalism, Crises and Resistance
Discussing crises through diverse examples, including the UK's National Theatre, public art installations, Occupy LSX, repatriation ceremonies and performances of the everyday, this book asks how performance captures and resists what is considered (politically, ideologically, culturally or socially) 'inside' or 'outside' Europe.

Die deutsche Aussicht
Photographer Oliver Kern (*1965 in Saarbru cken) travels through Germany on the lookout for places connected to German identity. His photographs are taken on the road, during fleeting encounters in spots such as parking lots or supermarkets. For this book, he selected around fifty pictures taken over the course of his travels since 2002. In his serial works, the artist encounters people in the structures in which they live, and instead of finding big landmarks, he discovers small symbols that capture characteristic atmospheres, because the grand symbols have long lost their meaning in people's everyday lives. In between, only apparently unchanging, is the landscape, in a state of being permanently reconstructed, but still constantly defining the horizon.0Exhibition: UNESCO-Welterbe Zollverein Schacht XII, Portal der Industriekultur, Rundeindicker, Essen, Germany (3.10.2012-13.1.2013).0.

Berlin-Wedding
"Social flashpoint, hipster district, melting pot, former West Berlin--Wedding is a reflection of the world, but in miniature.Here, residents of very different social and cultural milieus come face to face with one another.The sixteen series of photos, which were realized in cooperation with the renowned Ostkreuz photo agency and other photographers, tell of these people and their spaces.The pictures they created are subtly observed, socially critical reportages and portraits such as those by Annette Hauschild about solidarity in a local bar, or those by Espen Eichh�fer, who photographed the black community in churches and small gardens.Each photo series presents only one facet of the district, but, together, they provide a picture of lively coexistence.Accompanies the exhibition, Berlin-Wedding - Die Fotoausstellung, Dauer, at Galerie Wedding - Raum f�r zeitgen�ssische Kunst, Berlin, 16 - 30 June 2017.English and German text."
Vigilantism Against Migrants and Minorities
"This edited volume traces the rise of far right vigilante movements - some who have been involved in serious violence against minorities, migrants and other vulnerable groups in society, whereas other vigilantes are intimidating but avoid using violence. Written by an international team of contributors, the book features case studies from Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, and Asia. Each chapter is written to a common research template examining the national social and political context, the purpose of the vigilante group, how it is organised and operates, its communications and social media strategy and its relationship to mainstream social actors and institutions, and to simil...
