Unbinding Medea
Medea - simply to mention her name conjures up echoes and cross-connections from Antiquity to the present. The vengeful wife, the murderess of her own children, the frail, suicidal heroine, the archetypal Bad Mother, the smitten maiden, the barbarian, the sorceress, the abused victim, the case study for a pathology. For more than two thousand years, she has arrested the eye in paintings, reverberated in opera, called to us from the stage. She demands the most interdisciplinary of study, from ancient art to contemporary law and medicine; she is no more to be bound by any single field of study than by any single take on her character. The contributors to this wide-ranging volume are Brian Arkins, Angela J. Burns, Anthony Bushell, Richard Buxton, Peter A. Campbell, Margherita Carucci, Daniela Cavallaro, Robert Cowan, Hilary Emmett, Edith Hall, Laurence D. Hurst, Ekaterini Kepetzis, Ivar Kvistad, Catherine Leglu, Yixu Lue, Edward Phillips, Elizabeth Prettejohn, Paula Straile-Costa, John Thorburn, Isabelle Torrance, Terence Stephenson, and Amy Wygant.

Von Angst bis Zerstörung
Die Dramenliteratur über den Atomkrieg hat zwischen 1945 und 1975 mehrere Theater- und Rundfunkproduktionen hervorgebracht, die größtenteils vergessen sind. Der Band bietet eine kulturhistorische und thematische Bestandsaufnahme dieser kaum erforschten Literatur und durchleuchtet sie aus gattungsspezifischer Perspektive.

Der literatur- und gattungsgeschichtlichen Übersicht folgen die Interpretationen der einzelnen Texte, die durch bibliographische Hinweise auf die Presserezeption und auf weiterführende Literatur ergänzt sind. Ein umfangreicher Anhang mit Bibliographien und Registern ...
James Joyce's Other Image
" James Joyce's Other Image is the author's multi-faceted response to four years of almost exclusive concentration on James Joyce's Own Image, a study on the terms `image' and `imagination' in A Portrait and Ulysses. Having convinced himself that Joyce is a canonical writer even from the removed German perspective, he goes on to explore different aspects of Joyce studies before he addresses Ulysses in terms of Shakespeare and Sterne as well as Musil, Joyce, and Bachmann in terms of their ""fictional memoirs of the Hapsburg Empire"". Since the focus is on textual presence rather than on personal (and possibly absent) influence, a pedagogical case study of how Sterne's and Shakespeare's works ...
