Genocidal Violence
The series Genocide and Mass Violence in the Age of Extremes wants to provide an interdisciplinary forum for research on mass violence and genocide during the "short" 20th century.

Anthologies and monographs will provide academic and non-academic readers with a deep insight into and a better understanding for the reasons, the acts, and the consequences or mass violence and genocide from a global perspective. Titles of the series will be published in print and OPEN ACCESS.

New Austrian Film
Out of a film culture originally starved of funds have emerged rich and eclectic works by film-makers that are now achieving the international recognition that they deserve: Barbara Albert, Michael Haneke, Ulrich Seidl, and Stefan Ruzowitzky, to give four examples. This comprehensive critical anthology, by leading scholars of Austrian film, is intended to introduce and make accessible this much under-represented phenomenon. Although the book covers the full development of the Austrian new wave it focuses on the period that has brought it global attention: 1998 to the present. New Austrian Film is the only book currently available on this topic and will be an essential reference work for academics, students and filmmakers, interested in modern Austrian film.

Mutter. Chronik eines Abschieds
Mit „Mutter“ legt Melitta Breznik ein intensives Kammerspiel vor, der langsame Abschied von der Mutter. Als Tochter, Pflegerin und Ärztin, die ihre Mutter in den letzten Monaten beim Sterben begleitet, schildert die Autorin mit genauem Blick die Veränderungen, die von den beiden Frauen Besitz ergreifen. Es gibt Momente der Verbundenheit, der Trauer, des Lichts, Kleinigkeiten erstrahlen in schlichter Schönheit in diesen letzten Tagen. Eine Familiengeschichte wird erzählt, bis zurück zu den beiden Kriegen. Fragen nach Schuld und Vergebung tauchen auf und nach dem, was bleibt, wenn jemand stirbt. Ein dichtes Buch über das Sterben. Tiefgründig, ehrlich, liebend und klar.
Tatort Germany
New essays by leading scholars examining today's vibrant and innovative German crime fiction, along with its historical background.

Duringthe 1920s, German-language writers dispensed with the detective and focused instead on criminals, a trend that did not take hold in other countries until after 1945, by which time Germany had gone on to produce antidetective novels that were similarly ahead of their time. German crime fiction has thus always been a curious case; rather t...
