Interpreting in Nazi Concentration Camps
This significant new study is concerned with the role of interpreting in Nazi concentration camps, where prisoners were of 30 to 40 different nationalities. With German as the only official language in the lager, communication was vital to the prisoners' survival. While in the last few decades there has been extensive research on the language used by the camp inmates, investigation into the mediating role of interpreters between SS guards and prisoners on the one hand, and among inmates on the other, has been almost nonexistent. On the basis of Primo Levi's considerations on communication in the Nazi concentrationary system, this book investigates the ambivalent role of interpreting in the c...

Empowerment
"If you have some power, then your job is to empower somebody else" nennt es Toni Morrison und damit sind alle aufgerufen, sich zu fragen, was kann ich beitragen? Sind doch politisch marginalisierte Gruppen – darunter Frauen*, Geflüchtete, Personen mit bildungsferner Herkunft sowie nicht-binäre Personen – geradezu auf Empowerment angewiesen, um gleichberechtigter an Kunst und Politik teilhaben zu können. Im Band geht es um strategische Bündnisse für politische Veränderungen, ontologische Perspektiven auf Commoning, Komponieren im Netzwerk, Unlearn the Canon!, das Pink Noise Camp, Electronic trans*Musik, feministisches Empowerment, Filme zwischen dem Ich und der Welt sowie Handlungsmacht im Fluchtkontext. Mit Beiträgen von Faika El-Nagashi, Marlene Feger und Marie-Antonia Schwebe, Marko Kölbl, Ulli Mayer, Pia Palme, Luki Schmitz, Bernadette Weigel, Mine Wenzel und Bettina Zehetner.
Allegorien des Politischen
Die Monographie untersucht in einem diachronen ÜberƠblick, wie sich das historische Drama in der tschechischen Literatur vom Beginn der natioƠnalen Wiedergeburt bis zur ersten tschechoslowakischen Republik der Zwischenkriegszeit ge-wandelt hat. Leitidee der UnterƠsuchung ist, dass in historischen Dramen eine allegorische Struktur über blosse Geschichtsdarstellung hinausweist, womit Bezüge auf die Ent-stehƠungszeit erƠkennbar werden. In einem allgemeinen Teil werden dramentheoretische und literaturhistorische Aspekte der Gattung behandelt. Kurzzusammenfassungen (jeweils ca. 5 Seiten) ins Englische und Tschechische.
