Abstract

This work is of importance to anyone with an interest in whether women, especially Jewish Ashkenazic women, had a Renaissance. It details the participation in the Querelle des Femmes and Power of Women topos as expressed in this hagiographic work on the lives of biblical women including the apocryphal Judith. The Power of Women topos is discussed in the context of the reception of the Amazon myth in Jewish literature and the domestication of powerful female figures. In the Querelle our author pleads with husbands for generosity and respect for their wives' piety. Whether women living in the Renaissance experienced a renaissance is a debate raging since Joan Kelly raised the possibility that this historic phenomenon essentially did not affect women. The question is raised with reference to the women depicted in Many Pious Women. These topics find their expression in a richly annotated translation with extensive introductory essays of a unique 16th-century manuscript in Western Yiddish (Judeo-German) written in Italy. The text will also be useful to scholars of the history of Yiddish and theorists of its development. Women everywhere, gender and Renaissance scholars, Yiddishists and linguists will all welcome this work now available for the very first time in the original text with an English translation.

Abstract

This book reads messianic expectation as the defining characteristic of German culture in the first decades of the twentieth century. It has long been accepted that the Expressionist movement in Germany was infused with a thoroughly messianic strain. Here, with unprecedented detail and focus, that strain is traced through the work of four important Expressionist playwrights: Ernst Barlach, Georg Kaiser, Ernst Toller and Franz Werfel. Moreover, these dramatists are brought into new and sustained dialogues with the theorists and philosophers of messianism who were their contemporaries: Walter Benjamin, Ernst Bloch, Martin Buber, Hermann Cohen, Gershom Scholem. In arguing, for example, that concepts like Bloch’s utopian self-encounter ( Selbstbegegnung ) and Benjamin’s messianic now-time ( Jetztzeit ) reappear as the framework for Expressionism’s staging of collective redemption in a new age, Anderson forges a previously underappreciated link in the study of Central European thought in the early twentieth century.

Abstract

This is the first volume in English to examine in detail one of the most remarkable collaborations between a writer and filmmaker in European cinema. Focusing on the four films Wim Wenders and Peter Handke made between 1969 and 1987 ( 3 American LPs , The Goalkeeper’s Fear of the Penalty , Wrong Move , and Wings of Desire ), it explores the productive tension between adaptation and collaboration and demonstrates the different ways in which text- and image-makers can recompose film’s constituent media (literature, still and moving images, music, drama). The study reveals that this partnership had significant aesthetic and conceptual repercussions for both artists, resulting in a series of single-authored works which manifest the same kinds of intertextuality and disjunctive intermediality that are the hallmark of the collaborations themselves. These include Wenders’s Alice in the Cities , Handke’s films The Chronicle of On-Going Events and The Left-Handed Woman , and his novels Short Letter, Long Farewell and A Moment of True Feeling . While the Wenders-Handke partnership is unique, it contributes to a broader understanding of cinematic adaptation and different models of intermedial collaboration. This volume will be of interest to those working in the fields of Adaptation, Film, and German Studies.

Abstract

This book examines the street as both a material and ideological space constructed by cultural anxieties and affiliations. The early twenty-first century brought a new cartography of the street that inscribes a narrative of identity and difference, engaging discources of political, economic, and ethnic subjectivities.

Abstract

Ursprünglich als Jungfrau geplant, zieht Thea Dorn intuitiv ein doppeltes Feuerzeichen vor und kommt - vier Wochen zu früh - am 23. Juli 1970 in Offenbach zur Welt. Die Löwefrau mit Aszendent Schütze geht nach dem Abitur ins antarktische Südgeorgien, um dort das Verhalten der Kaiserpinguine zu erforschen. Später arbeitet sie als Dozentin für Philosophie an der Freien Universität Berlin und hält Seminare zu Fragen der modernen Ethik und Ästhetik. Veröffentlichungen: Sie veröffentlicht die Kriminalromane 'Berliner Aufklärung', 'Ringkampf' und 'Die Hirnkönigin' und erhält den Raymond-Chandler-Preis. Ihr Theaterstück 'Marleni' wird im Januar 2000 in Hamburg uraufgeführt. Nach einem für Feuerzeichen typischen anfänglichen Skeptizismus nähert sich Dorn durch die intensive Arbeit an den Astrokrimis der Weisheit der Sterne. 'Seit ich weiß, daß fast kein Krimiautor Fische ist, schaue ich bei manchen Menschen genauer hin.'
