Investigating Simenon
For nearly a century, the work of Belgian crime writer and psychological novelist Georges Simenon, creator of Chief Inspector Maigret, has captivated readers worldwide. This investigation situates Simenon's work in its historical context and interprets it as a reaction to shifting gender relations in Western society. Simenon's compelling narratives capture the anxieties of men whose patriarchal position was under threat in an era of insurgent feminist movements. These concerns are also evident in Simenon's pervasive preoccupation with sexuality, as well as his political stance that stems from his petit-bourgeois upbringing. This groundbreaking study includes interwoven commentary on all 191 novels Simenon published under his own name, including several that have never been translated into English, as well as a number of short stories and several pseudonymous works.

Maigret and the Minister
'His artistry is supreme' John Banville 'Once alone in his office, he went over and opened the window as if being in charge of this case made him gasp for a breath of fresh air... It made him feel almost fond of the petty thieves, maniacs, swindlers and offenders of all kinds that he usually had to deal with.' Maigret has no taste for politics, or politicians, but when he is summoned to a clandestine meeting by a desperate government minister one evening, he finds himself drawn into an unsavoury world of corruption, scandal and cover ups. 'One of the greatest writers of the twentieth century . . . Simenon was unequalled at making us look inside, though the ability was masked by his brilliance at absorbing us obsessively in his stories' Guardian 'A supreme writer . . . unforgettable vividness' Independent

Körperführung
Sport und körperliche Bewegung sind heute tief in die Lebensführung einzelner Menschen wie auch ganzer Bevölkerungsgruppen integriert. Das Streben nach Fitness ist ein Kennzeichen gegenwärtiger Gesellschaften, das Identifikationsraster bereitstellt und Inklusionswie auch Exklusionseffekte zeitigt. Der vorliegende Band geht diesen Phänomenen in historischer Perspektive nach. Erstmals wird dazu das von Michel Foucault geprägte Paradigma der Biopolitik - eine "moderne" Machtform, in der die Regulierung des individuellen wie kollektiven "Lebens" ins Zentrum politischer Strategien rückt - systematisch auf sporthistorische Untersuchungsgegenstände bezogen.
