Shadowchild
"Shadowchild is an examination of a parent's grief over the loss of a child. P. F. Thomese's baby was just a few weeks old when she died, and suddenly a piece of his life and heart was gone. But how do you recall that which is missing? How can we replace that which is lost? In powerful prose, he describes how he and his wife prepared for her birth; he remembers the first night they all three slept in the same bed. And after her death, Thomese finds himself desperately seeking the appropriate words to express his desolation. But he feels that "if she still exists anywhere, then it's in language." And so he begins to search for a new language to describe a grief that is too terrible to fit into everyday words." "At once a declaration of love, an elegy, and a self-examination, Shadowchild is a meditation on love, death, and personal loss."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

space.time.narrative
Making exhibitions is a collaborative art, producing is a multi-layered unity of ideas and objects, of invention and manifestation, of content and form. However, there is an antagonistic dimension to it, because content and form are traditionally represented by the entirely different realms of curator and designer. Future successful developments in exhibition-making are dependent on whether this gap of antagonism can be bridged. space.time.narrative calls for a paradigmatic shift of focus. It puts forward a unique approach, breaking down traditional barriers and offering a wide-ranging theoretical context, redefining and expanding the parameters and the dynamics of the exhibition-format in t...
Behind the Wall
Germany, like many countries, has witnessed the rise of extremist far-right groups and parties in recent years, and no more so than in the eastern regions. Why have those parts of Germany that used to be part of the old GDR turned out to be so supportive of extremist groups and parties and such fertile ground for violence and hatred? To try to find answers to this question, Ines Geipel, the former East German Olympic athlete, returns to her past in order explore the matrix of fear and anxiety that shaped the lives of people in the GDR. Spurred on by conversations at the bedside of her brother as he lay dying of a brain tumour, she probes into her own family background and discovers a web of ...

Literary Prizes and Cultural Transfer
Literary Prizes and Cultural Transfer addresses the multilevel nature of literary and translation prizes, with the aim of expanding our knowledge about them as an international and transnational phenomenon. The contributions to this book analyse the social, institutional, and ideological functions of such prizes. This volume not only looks at famous prizes and celebrities but also lesser known prizes in more peripheral language areas and regions, with a special focus on cultural transmitters and their networks, which play a decisive role in the award industry. Cultural transfer and translations are at the heart of this book and this approach adds a new dimension to the study of literary and ...
Faust
Op uitdagende wijze presenteert dit boek de tradities van een groots literair thema: de Engelse Faust van Christopher Marlowe, de Duitse Historia van Doctor Faustus, La Damnation de Faust van Hector Berlioz, de etsen van Eugène Delacroix en ten slotte het Faustthema in de moderne Nederlandse literatuur rond De vieze engel van P.F. Thomése. De inleiding richt de schijnwerper op Goethe’s Faust. Naast mogelijkheden tot vakoverstijgend werken leent het boek zich uitstekend voor een historiserende aanpak: de vier thematische delen trekken automatisch lijnen door de tijd, vanaf de opkomst van de Fauststof in de zestiende eeuw tot aan de moderne literatuur. Ook het geïntegreerd literatuuronder...
