Love in a Time of Slaughters
Love in a Time of Slaughters examines a diverse array of contemporary creative narratives in which genocide and extinction blur species lines in order to show how such stories can promote the preservation of biological and cultural diversity in a time of man-made threats to species survival. From indigenous novels and Japanese anime to art installations and truth commission reports, Susan McHugh analyzes source material from a variety of regions and cultures to highlight cases where traditional knowledge works in tandem with modern ways of thinking about human-animal relations. In contrast to success stories of such relationships, the narratives McHugh highlights show the vulnerabilities of ...
On Beyond Uranium
In the early nineteenth century chemists knew of the existence of ninety-two chemical elements, from Hydrogen to Uranium. For nearly forty years scientists thought they knew the content of our planet and all of its contents. In the late 1930s the world of chemical science began to discover elements beyond Uranium - the 'transuranics'. These new, super-heavy elements are probably not found in nature at all but can be detected, if only for a few fractions of a second, in precisely designed experiments using powerful nuclear tools. On Beyond Uranium: Journey to the End of the Periodic Table is full of exciting new concepts and tells the story of the author's quest to discover elements never before known to man.

Jamaica
Jamaica is one of a chain of islands -- the West Indian archipelago -- which encircles the Caribbean Sea. Its earliest indigenous people, the Tainos, succumbed to the arrival of western Europeans, inaugurated by the encounter with Columbus in 1494. Spanish rule gave way in 1655 to some 300 years of English colonial rule involving nearly two centuries of plantation slavery. The country finally gained independence in 1962. Jamaica has made some notable contributions in the international arena. Perhaps best known are its contributions in the world of sport, popular music (reggae) and in its development of distinctive forms of dance-theatre and folk music. This wide-ranging volume is a fully revised and updated edition of the work which was first published in 1984.

Konflikte
Konflikte, Krisen und Kriege beherrschen zunehmend den öffentlichen Diskurs. Auch Autor*innen reagieren engagiert auf die Veränderungen in der globalen Welt und binden die Geschehnisse in Fiktionen ein. Ihre Funktion besteht nicht nur in der Archivierung von Gegenwart, sondern auch in der Gestaltung zukünftiger Weltentwürfe. In diesem Band finden sich literarische Darstellungen der gegenwärtig ausgetragenen Kriege, der aktuellen Flucht- und Migrationswellen, der nahenden Klimakatastrophe und der immer akuter werdenden Abhängigkeitsverhältnisse des modernen Menschen. Den Band beschließen Gespräche mit Katja Petrowskaja, Robert Prosser, Dorothea Dieckmann, Markus Stromiedel und Marko ...

Neues historisches Erzählen
Durch das Medium der Literatur wird die Gesellschaft zur Diskussion über differente Deutungen des Vergangenen angeregt, denn in den erzählten Geschichten kommt es zu einer Konstruktion von historischen Abläufen und zu einer immer neuen Darstellung von Figuren, Räumen und Zeit. Literatur reagiert schnell und seismographisch auf gesellschaftliche Veränderungen, die aufgenommen und durch die Autorinnen und Autoren auf subjektive Weise verarbeitet werden. Die Beiträgerinnen und Beiträger dieses Bandes nehmen literarische Texte in den Blick, in denen Fragen der deutschen und der polnischen Geschichte eine bedeutende Rolle spielen. Verbunden damit ist der Versuch, Texte ins Zentrum zu rück...
