With the removal of death from the public sphere, mourning has become a private matter. At the same time, particularly in poetry, the trend is reversed. An intensely elegiac quality and a focus on absence, death, and loss can be observed in contemporary Anglophone poetry. This study examines the poetry of Andrew Motion in the context of the contemporary elegy, a genre which is at a crossroads between the anti-consolatory refusal to mourn, the inability to move past grief, and the strong wish for redemption from grief. Motion's poetry, which mainly deals with preemptive attempts to cope with loss, can be seen as a typical example for the contemporary melancholy mood in poetry.

A study of the role of 'little magazines' and their contribution to the making of artistic modernism and the avant-garde across Europe, this volume is a major scholarly achievement of immense value to those interested in material culture of the 20th century.
Provides a cultural and historical context for medieval popular drama. In Drama and Resistance, Claire Sponsler explores the intertwined histories of bodily subjectivity, commodity culture, and theatricality in late medieval England. In a fascinating consideration of popular drama in the period from 1350 to 1520, she argues that many types of performances during this time represented cultural evasions of the imposition of disciplinary power. The medieval theater was a social site where resistance, masked from the full scrutiny of authority by theatricality, was practiced, articulated, and enacted. Sponsler examines three key discourses of authoritarian bodily and commodity control -- clothin...
Taschen's inventive layout is effective in presenting the provocative works, words, and biographies of the nearly 100 women artists gathered here. Grosenick, a freelance art historian in Germany, has selected women artists working in Germany, the US, South Africa, Japan, Poland, France, Scandinavia, and Spain, among other countries. The entry for each artist is six pages, with much of the space devoted to good- quality color photos of her work. c. Book News Inc.

Nanosystems use new, nanoscopic electrical and/or mechanical devices which, as constituents of electronic and electromechanical systems, find application primarily in computing, embedded control and biomedical data acquisition. In particular, this book will deal with the characterization and patterning of these materials from an engineering perspective, with the objective of creating operational prototypes and products. The book will integrate various nano technologies on materials, devices and systems and identify key areas and results. The book will describe different design aspects for integrated systems on silicon, as well as on heterogeneous platforms including, but not limited to, electrical, optical, micromechanical and biological components in various forms and mixtures. By associating research topics from differing horizons, the book will provide a unique opportunity to bridge the gap between electronics/electrical engineering and materials science. The book will include topics at the intersection of these disciplines, and will interface with computer science, biology and medicine.
The anthology presents the lectures given on the symposium »From Dictatorship to democracy« at the House of the Wannsee Conference on 13–14 September 2021. The aim of the organizers was to show what problems existed during the transition from dictatorship to democracy in several countries around the world. They all enacted laws or other measures to ensure that fundamental rights and the rule of law would resist anti-democratic ideologies, anti-Semitism, racism, and war crimes in the future. However, the legal system and law in these countries themselves often had their origins in dictatorship. Thus, there were and are obvious and hidden anti-democratic continuities that influence law and the legal system up to the present. Scientifics and jurists from Italy, Japan, Poland, Spain, South Africa, and Germany examine these continuities in their contributions.
An der Oper als ?Kraftwerk der Gefhle? hatte Alexander Kluge als Sohn eines Opernarztes stets besonderes Interesse. Die vorliegende Studie untersucht sein Projekt, einen ?imagin„ren Opernfhrer? zu schaffen. Dieser stellt eine Art Konstrukt im Gesamtwerk des Autors dar, ist ein teils fiktives Puzzle aus Text-, Fernseh- und Theaterbausteinen. Kluges ?imagin„rer Opernfhrer? soll neben bereits komponierten Werken auch solche verzeichnen, die den zuknftigen Erfahrungsgehalt unserer Zeit widerspiegeln. Dabei verfolgt der Autor eine ?Entdramatisierung? der Oper, um dem tragischen Opernfinale eine glckliche Alternative entgegenzusetzen. Kluges Verst„ndnis von der Oper als ?Kraftwerk der Gefhle?, das den emotionalen Erfahrungsgehalt der Menschheit abbildet, ist hierfr entscheidend. Innerhalb der Studie werden Texte aus den B„nden ?Chronik der Gefhle? (2000), ?Herzblut trifft Kunstblut? (2001) und ?Die Lcke, die der Teufel l„sst? (2005) interpretiert. Grundlagen fr die literarische Analyse bilden die N„he der Gattung Oper zur Trag”die, die stilistischen Ausdrucksm”glichkeiten zur Affektdarstellung innerhalb der Gattung Oper, sowie Kluges Affektbegriff.
