Abstract

"An essential analysis of cinema from one of the great figures of French philosophy. The cinema, like language, can be said to exist as a system of differences. In his latest book the acclaimed philosopher Jacques Rancière relates cinema to literature and theatre. With literature, he argues, cinema takes its narrative conventions, while at the same time effacing its images and its philosophy; and it rejects theatre, while also fulfilling theatre's dream. Built on these contradictions, the cinema is the real, material space in which one feels moved by the spectacle of shadows. Thus for Rancière, the cinema is the always disappointed dream of a language of images."--

Abstract

Between 1790 and 1820, William Lane’s Minerva Press published an unprecedented number of circulating-library novels by obscure female authors. Because these novels catered to the day’s fashion for sentimental themes and Gothic romance, they were and continue to be generally dismissed as ephemera. Recently, however, scholars interested in historicizing Romantic conceptions of genius and authorship have begun to write Minerva back into literary history. By making Minerva novels themselves the centre of the analysis, Minerva’s Gothics illustrates how Romantic ‘anxiety’ is better conceptualized as a mutual though not entirely equitable ‘exchange’, a dynamic interrelationship between Minerva novels and Romantic-era politics and poetics that started in 1780, when Lane began publishing novels with some regularity. Reading Minerva novels for their shared popular conventions demonstrates that circulating-library novelists collectively recirculate, engage and modify commonplaces about women’s nature, the social order and, most importantly, the very Romantic redefinitions of authorship and literature that render their novels not worth reading. By recognizing Minerva’s collaborative rather than merely derivative authorial model, a forgotten pathway is restored between first-generation Romantic reactions to popular print culture and Percy Shelley’s influential conceptualization of the poet in A Defence of Poetry.

Abstract

Dem hingebungsvoll zelebrierten Maria-Theresia-Jubiläumsjahr 2017 hätte - zumindest aus buch- und verlagsgeschichtlicher Sicht - Entscheidendes gefehlt, wäre es ohne Erinnerung an den Verleger Johann Thomas von Trattner (1719-1798) zu Ende gegangen. Denn ohne die Protektion der Herrscherin wäre der Aufstieg des Mannes aus armen Verhältnissen zu einem der reichsten Männer der Habsburgermonarchie, der, wie man ihm neidvoll nachsagte, „das schönste Haus, die schönste Frau und die größte Buchhandlung in Europa“ besaß, nicht denkbar gewesen. Die Erinnerung an ihn ist durchaus nachhaltig: In seiner Wohn- und Wirkungsstätte Wienerherberg in der Gemeinde Ebergassing (Niederösterreich) ist das Andenken an den bedeutenden Unternehmer Trattner bis heute lebendig. Der rechtzeitig zum 300. Geburtstag erscheinende Sammelband geht auf eine Tagung zurück, die Ende 2017 am Institut für Osteuropäische Geschichte der Universität Wien stattfand. Er vereinigt aktuelle Beiträge aus Deutschland, Italien, Österreich, Schweden, der Tschechischen Republik und Ungarn zu Tratters Druck- und Verlagstätigkeit in der gesamten Habsburgermonarchie mit einem differenzierenden Augenmerk auf seine so verfemten Nachdrucke.

Abstract

Transformation through digital innovation is becoming an imperative for every city. The 'Smart City' concept promises to solve the most urgent queries of progressive urbanization in the area of mobility, energy, water supply, security, housing deprivation, and inclusion. Despite the exploitation of existing potential in lighthouse-cities that include Barcelona, London, Munich, Lyon, and Vienna, the less tenacious pursuit of smart city possibilities in the majority of municipalities has resulted in major discrepancies between leading smart cities and those that are less aspirational. Although the necessity of action is frequently recognized, an appropriate path of action remains obscure.Smart Cities: Introducing Digital Innovation to Cities offers answers, with clarifying examples, to questions that have remained unanswered for many cities. The book identifies and addresses the core elements and potential of smart cities, best practice methods and tools to be implemented, as well as how diverse stakeholders might be effectively integrated.Based on perennial international research in the field of smart cities, this book brings together the authors' collective experience in practice-based political, administrative, and economic projects to provide a common framework to guide and engage key stakeholders in the transformation and realization of smart cities.

Abstract

This collection of essays examines medieval and early modern drama in the context of a rich and varied manuscript culture. Focusing on the production, performance, and reception of dramatic documents made in Britain between 1400 and 1700, the essays in this book shed new light on the role of dramatic manuscripts in a range of different social and literary spheres. From extant manuscripts of England’s mystery cycles to miscellanies kept by seventeenth-century readers, the documents discussed in this volume reflect a culture of producing and using drama in ways that have been overlooked by the recent critical focus on drama and print by theatre historians and literary critics. By showing the various continuities, exchanges, lendings, and borrowings between medieval and early modern scribal practices, as well as between manuscript and print practices, this volume interrogates accepted critical narratives about the way that drama has been historicized.
