Re-Thinking Agency
The book explores the multi-faceted nature of contemporary reflections on agency, focusing on various discursive practices that shape the posthumanist approach to the relationship between the human and non-human world from a planetary perspective. The chapters delve into critical human-animal studies, examine new non-anthropocentric identity constructs, and offer analyses that reinterpret meanings through semiotic inversions and challenge static cultural patterns. The book concludes with discussions on decolonization practices that aim to liberate agency from oppressive systems, particularly those dominated by imperial phallogocentrism.
The Electrocaloric Effect
The Electrocaloric Effect: Materials and Applications reviews the fundamentals of the electrocaloric effect, the most relevant electrocaloric materials, and electrocaloric measurements and device applications. The book introduces the electrocaloric effect, along with modeling and simulations of this effect. Then, it addresses the latest advances in synthesis, characterization and optimization of the most relevant electrocaloric materials, including ferroelectric materials, liquid materials, lead-free materials, polymers and composites. Finally, there is a review of the latest techniques in measurement and applications in refrigeration and cooling and a discussion of the advantages, challenges and perspectives of the future of electrocaloric refrigeration. - Provides a comprehensive introduction to the electrocaloric effect including experimental techniques to measure, model, and simulate the effect - Reviews the most relevant electrocaloric materials such as composites, polymers, metal oxides, ferroelectric materials, and more - Touches on the design and application of electrocaloric materials for devices with potential cooling and refrigeration applications
Ulysses's Cat
'A wonderful collection stemming from a hugely important project keeping young Welsh writers connected to Europe despite all attempts to sever these crucial cultural ties.' – Rachel Trezise 'Anthologies such as this one are the footings of the recently-burnt bridges that we need to rebuild. They help to tear down the walls put up around us. Always important, they are now vital.' – Niall Griffiths Ulysses's Cat brings readers the work of some of the most outstanding authors of the younger generation from Croatia, Greece, Serbia, Slovenia and Wales who participated in a project of exchange residencies originally launched on the Croatian island of Mljet, where, according to legend, shipwrec...

Erdfall
Prah im Slowenischen bedeutet Staub. Das ist kein Pseudonym und auch kein Künstlername. So heißt dieser umtriebige Autor, dessen Lyrik mit Erdfall endlich auch der deutschsprachigen Leser*innenschaft zugänglich ist. Der Name ist Programm: In dem Band, der eine Auswahl seiner Gedichte aus drei Büchern in der Übersetzung von Daniela Kocmut in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Autor beinhaltet, erdet der Text gewaltig, es tut sich die Textur einer aufgewühlten, von der Sonne gepeitschten Erde auf. Prahs Sprache entfaltet sich in der Körperlichkeit des Randes, in dem Unraum, in dem der entblößte Boden auf Randkörper trifft, die an seine Umrisse gedrängt werden, dort aber auch ihre Zuflucht finden. Oder in ihm aufgehen. Oft fällt die Sprache dabei in sich zusammen – entfällt sogar – oder wird aufs Engste zusammengepresst, sodass sich eine verblüffend karge Vielschichtigkeit in ihr auftut und "die Oberfläche in Zwiespalt erstarrt".
Razprave o sodobni slovenski literaturi
Razprave o sodobni slovenski literaturi, nastale v okviru projekta »Slovenska literatura in družbene spremembe: nacionalna država, demokratizacija in tranzicijska navzkrižja«, prinašajo bodisi panoramske poglede bodisi posamezne analize del sodobnega slovenskega romanopisja, dramatike, esejistike in poezije s poudarkom na najnovejši literaturi, ki je nastajala po letu 1990. V knjigi se zvrstijo raznolika metodološka izhodišča od teorije medkulturnosti, teorije kulturnega spomina, etike reprezentacije do nevrokognitivistično naravnanega literarnega darvinizma, feminističnih pristopov in posthumanistične ekokritike.
Mein Vater war ein Mann an Land und im Wasser ein Walfisch
Loribeth ist auf der Flucht, in ihrem Koffer ein erschlagenes Kind. Eine Wahrsagerin hilft ihr weiter: Sie muss den Koffer samt Kind ihrem verschollenen Vater bringen, um erwachsen zu werden. Auf ihrer phantastischen Reise durchquert sie Städte, Wüsten und Meere und verliebt sich in alle Wesen, die ihr etwas Essbares anbieten. Doch unerwartete Begegnungen, Katastrophen und eine erschreckend lebendige Kofferleiche zwingen sie stets weiterzuziehen - bis der Koffer seinen Bestimmungsort findet und Loribeths Blick sich verändert: Das Magische geht ins Reale über. Das langersehnte Leben im Kreis der auserwählten Freunde ist öd; nichts passiert. Um ein wenig Magie zurückzuholen, wird wild g...
