AIDS, Ebola und abstürzende Computer; Fremdkörper, Parasiten und Sleeper; Bio- und Cyberterrorismus, Tierseuchen und zuletzt SARS: Viren zirkulieren derzeit in verschiedensten Bereichen. Dabei erweist sich die Metaphorik des Wortes als ebenso grenzgängerisch und mutierend wie die konkreten Objekte. Sie wird bemüht, um Bedrohungsszenarien und grenzsichernde Maßnahmen durchzusetzen und dient gleichzeitig als Modell für Widerstand und subversive Selbstinszenierungen. Kein Zufall, dass sich die jüngste Mediendebatte um terroristische Gewalt erneut in diesen Mustern verfangen hat. Der Band "VIRUS!" untersucht die Auswirkungen der Bilder von riskanten Kontakten, Ansteckung und Unterwanderung – nicht nur auf die Herstellung der "harten Fakten" in Naturwissenschaften und Technik, sondern auch auf die Gestaltung der globalen Weltordnung. ; www.transcript-verlag.de/978-3-89942-193-4/virus/

This thesis examines how and why the revolutionary political and aesthetic theories articulated throughout Paris May’68, influenced the formal development and political struggles of British Political Theatre between 1968-1978. In particular, the thesis traces how the radical philosophy of the Situationniste Internationale (SI), put forward in their journal the Internationale Situationniste and two key texts which informed the événements: Raoul Vaneigem’s The Revolution of Everyday Life (1967) and Guy Debord’s The Society of the Spectacle (1967), structured the idiomatic formal articulations of often diverse and antagonistic post-’68 political performances. The thesis does not argue that political playwrights were always aware of these texts at source. However, it does suggest, that - as the British underground distributed Situationist-style ideas into the consciousness of the nation’s counter-culture - it is appropriate to speak of the appearance of a Situationist Logic within post-’68 political theatre. At other junctures the thesis includes theories which reflect or complement Situationist writings indirectly, philosophy I call ‘thinking-in-common’. The introductory Chapter outlines the dominant themes and events of Paris May ’68 and illustrates how the British counter culture assimilated or interpreted the événements. The Introduction also sets out the criteria for the theses’ selection of plays, dramatists, and critical terms of reference. It also explains the genealogy and theoretical relevance of the concept of homology; a mode of analysis that underpins the rhetorical strategies of the whole thesis. Chapter 1 ‘Anti-Oedipus’ makes a comparative analysis between Vaneigem’s ideas about madness and those of the British anti-psychiatrists, using the work of the latter to establish its particular Situationist logic. Chapter 2 directly asserts how the syndicalist politics of the SI were assimilated by the May’68 Occupation Movement and then taken up by political theatre workers. Chapter 3 ‘Sexuality’ primarily ...

This thesis is to study certain humorous phenomena in several literary works written in different languages. The humorous texts chosen for analysis in this thesis are: 1) Candide written by the French writer Voltaire, published for the first time in French in 1759; 2) The British Museum is Falling Down written by the English writer David Lodge, published for the first time in English in 1965; and 3) Fortress Besieged written by the Chinese writer Qian Zhongshu, published for the first time in Chinese in 1947. In these humorous texts, the comic heroes are all 'intellectual characters' sharing some common features. These characters are portrayed with an acute sense of humour and even bold self-mockery. Whether through the effect of joyful laughter or tearful laughter, these humorous texts tell the awkward but fascinating experiences of their heroes: their pursuit of higher-standard values and their final disappointment; their efforts and their failure; their disparagement as well as the beliefs they grudgingly hold in spite of their frustration. In each case, their intellectual adventures have influenced and indeed formed the contradictory personalities of these characters as presented in these humorous narratives.
