Handbuch Literatur & Film
Dieser Band lotet das komplexe und dynamische, von Konkurrenz und Kooperation bewegte Verhältnis zwischen Literatur und Film aus. Die vertrackte Beziehung der beiden führenden Erzählmedien des 20. und 21. Jahrhundert, deren Potential sich nie nur im Narrativ-Dramatischen erschöpfte, bildete eine zentrale Herausforderung für einen Großteil der kulturwissenschaftlichen Theorieentwürfe vom Strukturalismus bis zur Intermedialitätsforschung. Sie prägte sich in Diskurs- und Praxisfeldern aus, die wie die literarische Filmreflexion und die filmische Adaption von Literatur wichtige Teile der modernen Kultur bestimmten. Sie begann in der Literatur noch bevor das Filmmedium technisch realisiert wurde (Précinéma) und nahm vom Stummfilm über den Tonfilm bis zur Autorenbewegung und zum Siegeszug des Fernsehens, auch entlang der Teilung zwischen BRD und DDR, unterschiedlichste Formen an, in denen mediale und soziale Bedingungen einander stets überlagerten und die zuletzt in das Archiv und die Formate des Internets eingegangen sind. Der Band verfolgt die Konfiguration zwischen Literatur und Film als einen Leitfaden durch die Mediengeschichte der letzten 120 Jahre.
Jewish Autonomy in a Slave Society
A fascinating portrait of Jewish life in Suriname from the 17th to 19th centuries Jewish Autonomy in a Slave Society explores the political and social history of the Jews of Suriname, a Dutch colony on the South American mainland just north of Brazil. Suriname was home to the most privileged Jewish community in the Americas where Jews, most of Iberian origin, enjoyed religious liberty, were judged by their own tribunal, could enter any trade, owned plantations and slaves, and even had a say in colonial governance. Aviva Ben-Ur sets the story of Suriname's Jews in the larger context of Atlantic slavery and colonialism and argues that, like other frontier settlements, they achieved and maintai...

Splithead
'My father and I head towards a nervous breakdown as he attempts to erase three years of Communist indoctrination in the course of a single evening. I simply cannot comprehend that Lenin, the friend of all children, is now allegedly an arsehole.' When seven-year-old Mischka and her family flee the oppressive USSR for the freedom of Vienna, her world seems to divide neatly in two: there's life as she knew it before, and life as she must relearn it now. But even as she's busy dressing her new Barbie, perfecting her German and gorging on fresh fruit, Mischka is aware that there's part of her that can never escape her homeland, with its terrifying folktales, its insidious anti-Semitism and its old family secrets. As her parents' marriage splinters and her sister retreats into silence, Mischka has to find her own way of living when her head and her heart are in two places at once. There is darkness galore in this novel. But there is also much comedy to be had in its twisted enchanted tales. It is as seductive and unsettling as similar work by Angela Carter or Margaret Atwood, while it shares a geography with Everything Is Illuminated and If I Told You Once.

The Idea of World Literature
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe introduced the concept of Weltliteratur in 1827 to describe the growing availability of texts from other nations. Although the term "World Literature" is widely used today, there is little agreement on what it means and even less awareness of its evolution. In this wide-ranging work, John Pizer traces the concept of Weltliteratur in Germany beginning with Goethe and continuing through Heinrich Heine, Karl Marx, and Friedrich Engels to the present as he explores its importation into the United States in the 1830s and the teaching of World Literature in U.S. classrooms since the early twentieth century. Pizer demonstrates the concept's ongoing viability through an in...
Remembering War
This is a masterful volume on remembrance and war in the twentieth century. Jay Winter locates the fascination with the subject of memory within a long-term trajectory that focuses on the Great War. Images, languages, and practices that appeared during and after the two world wars focused on the need to acknowledge the victims of war and shaped the ways in which future conflicts were imagined and remembered. At the core of the “memory boom” is an array of collective meditations on war and the victims of war, Winter says. The book begins by tracing the origins of contemporary interest in memory, then describes practices of remembrance that have linked history and memory, particularly in the first half of the twentieth century. The author also considers “theaters of memory”—film, television, museums, and war crimes trials in which the past is seen through public representations of memories. The book concludes with reflections on the significance of these practices for the cultural history of the twentieth century as a whole.
