Up until now, Dr. Ware has lived a simple, reclusive life as a forensic doctor. But when bizarre corpses show up on his doorstep, and the ministry of death imposes new, demanding guidelines, the good doctor will learn there is much more to the world around him than he ever bargained for. With art by one of serbia’s leading and most prolific artists comes an Edward-Gorey-acid-nightmare full of transhumanism, gore, and nightmarish delight.
The volume offers an overview of the diverse Jewish experiences in Southeastern Europe from the 19th to the 21st centuries, and the various forms and strategies of their representation in literature, the arts, historiography and philosophy. Southeastern Europe is characterized by a high degree of ethnical, religious and cultural diversity. Jews, whether Sephardim, Ashkenazim or Romaniots – settling there in different periods – experienced divergent life worlds which engendered rich cultural production. Though recent scholarly and popular interest in this heterogeneous region has grown impressively, Jewish cultural production is still an under-researched area. The volume offers an overview of the diverse Jewish experiences in Southeastern Europe from the 19th to the 21st centuries, and the various forms and strategies of their representation in literature, the arts, historiography and philosophy, thus creating a dialogue between Jewish studies, Balkan studies, and current literary and cultural theories.
Until now, there has been little scholarly attention given to the ways in which Eastern European Holocaust fiction can contribute to current debates about transnational and transgenerational memory. Yugoslav and post-Yugoslav literary narratives about the Holocaust offer a particularly interesting case because time and again Holocaust memory is represented as intersecting with other stories of extreme violence: with the suffering of the non-Jewish South-Slav population during the Second World War, with the fate of victims of Stalinist terror, and with the victims of ethnic cleansing in the Yugoslav wars of the 1990s. This book examines the emergence and transformations of Holocaust memory in...
Orte und Räume gelten oft als das statisch-immobile Gegenüber zur dynamischen Zeit. Dem setzt diese raumsoziologisch geprägte Arbeit die These von der Beweglichkeit von Orten entgegen, indem die wechselnden Verortungen der Alten Messe im Zentrum der serbischen Hauptstadt Belgrad nachvollzogen werden. Dabei ergibt sich ein vielschichtiges Bild der "Wanderungen" eines bis heute umstrittenen Ortes, der vor dem Zweiten Weltkrieg als Modernisierungsmotor die Nähe zum industrialisierten Kerneuropa demonstrieren sollte, ehe er als KZ mit den Knotenpunkten des nationalsozialistischen Lagernetzes verknüpft wurde. Nach Kriegsende fächert sich das Nutzungsspektrum in eine Vielzahl nahezu unvereinbarer Räume auf und reicht von einer Künstlerkolonie über diverses Kleingewerbe bis zu teils prekärem Wohnraum, während Verfall und Vergessen das Gelände vor aller Augen unsichtbar werden und dennoch die Debatte über ein Gedenken an die hier begangenen Verbrechen nie ganz abreißen lassen.
