Romanian in Migration Contexts
As a result of migration, more than 25% of Romanian L1 speakers live outside of Romania and Moldova - mostly in other European countries, but also in America and Australia. In the meantime, many second-generation speakers have become part of this group. The situation has resulted in various different constellations of language contact, both within the group of Romance languages and amongst typologically different and unrelated languages. Despite the fact that these contact scenarios present a wide range of research perspectives, there have been hardly any studies on Romanian as a language of migrants up until now. The volume Romanian in the Context of Migration brings together contributions ...
Pazze di Lui - Mad for Him: Hagiographic Stereotypes, Mental Disturbances and Anthropological Implications of Female Saintliness in Italy and Abroad from the 13th to the 20th Century
The aim of this book is to investigate the delicate relationship between female sanctity and madness, in a time-frame extending from medieval until contemporary times. Constellated by visions, ecstatic raptures, morbid rituals, stigmata and obsessions, the complex phenomenology of female mysticism appears in fact to be articulated and polymorphous, traversed by 'representations' that it seems possible to link to the wide spectrum of mental disorders, as well to the hagiographic stereotypes and anthropological implications. Male and female scholars from different disciplines (from history to philology, from anthropology to art history, from theology to literary criticism, from psychiatry to psychoanalysis) try to outline a thematic and problematic itinerary, intended to examine, step by step, potential pathological aspects and contexts of reference for the purpose of attempting to reconstruct the complex evolutionary trajectory of female mystical language.
The Wild Woman and Other Plays
This second volume of Felix Mitterer's plays in English trans-lation offers further evidence of this dramatist's powerful artistry. A mythological Wild Woman changes the lives of five wood-cutters, exposing their loneliness and desperation. Home reiterates the dictum that "you can't go home again", especially where prej-udice, brutality, and hatred reside. An historical drama based on actual court records, Children of the Devil depicts institutional superstition and cruelty as perpetuated upon the most vulnerable members of society, its children. One Everyman is a modern ver-sion of the traditional medieval morality play, complete with a Devil from Wall Street, while the Biblical analogy, Abraham, concerns the scourge of AIDS -- but even more, the love between a father and his son. The Austrian playwright Felix Mitterer, born in 1948 in the Tyrol, is one of today's leading European dramatists. His two four-part television series, "Piefke-Saga" and "Verkaufte Heimat" were seen by millions of viewers in the German-speaking coun-tries.
Nirgendwo / Überall
Labyrinthe, Grenzen, Architektur: Räume und räumliche Prinzipien spielen in deutschsprachiger Prosa seit 2000 eine wichtige Rolle. Bernhard Landkammer zeigt, wie der Umgang mit räumlichen Prinzipien in und deren Bedeutung für die deutschsprachige Prosa seit 2000 Parallelen zu theoretischen Überlegungen aufweist, die die Auflösung von Eindeutigkeit behandeln. Literatur offenbart hierdurch ihren theoretischen, Theorie ihren literarischen Charakter – eine kulturelle Überschneidung mit gesellschaftspolitischer Dimension. Im Fokus stehen u.a. Texte von Dietmar Dath, Jonas Lüscher, Sibylle Berg oder Wolfgang Herrndorf ebenso wie Schriften von Jacques Derrida, Roland Barthes oder Homi K. Bhabha.
