  1. The Spectral Arctic : A History of dreams and ghosts in polar exploration

    Visitors to the Arctic enter places that have been traditionally imagined as otherworldly. This strangeness fascinated audiences in nineteenth-century Britain when the idea of the heroic explorer voyaging through unmapped zones reached its zenith. The Spectral Arctic re-thinks our understanding of Arctic exploration by paying attention to the importance of dreams and ghosts in the quest for the Northwest Passage. The narratives of Arctic exploration that we are all familiar with today are just the tip of the iceberg: they disguise a great mass of mysterious and dimly lit stories beneath the surface. In contrast to oft-told tales of heroism and disaster, this book reveals the hidden stories of dreaming and haunted explorers, of frozen mummies, of rescue balloons, visits to Inuit shamans, and of the entranced female clairvoyants who travelled to the Arctic in search of John Franklin’s lost expedition. Through new readings of archival documents, exploration narratives, and fictional texts, these spectral stories reflect the complex ways that men and women actually thought about the far North in the past. This revisionist historical account allows us to make sense of current cultural and political concerns in the Canadian Arctic about the location of Franklin’s ships.

  2. Like Fire : The Paliau Movement and Millenarianism in Melanesia

    Like Fire chronicles an indigenous movement for radical change in Papua New Guinea from 1946 to the present. The movement's founder, Paliau Maloat, promoted a program for step-by-step social change in which many of his followers also found hope for a miraculous millenarian transformation. Drawing on data collected over several decades, Theodore Schwartz and Michael French Smith describe the movement’s history, Paliau’s transformation from secular reformer and politician to Melanesian Jesus, and the development of the current incarnation of the movement as Wind Nation, a fully millenarian endeavour. Their analysis casts doubt on common ways of understanding a characteristically Melanesian form of millenarianism, the cargo cult, and questions widely accepted ways of interpreting millenarianism in general. They show that to understand the human proclivity for millenarianism we must scrutinise more closely two near-universal human tendencies: difficulty accepting the role of chance or impersonal forces in shaping events (that is, the tendency to personify causation), and a tendency to imagine that one or one’s group is the focus of the malign or benign attention of purposeful entities, from the local to the cosmic. Schwartz and Smith discuss the prevalence of millenarianism and warn against romanticising it, because the millenarian mind can subvert rationality and nourish rage and fear even as it seeks transcendence.

    Soaking up the rays forges a new path for exploring Britain’s fickle love of the light by investigating the beginnings of light therapy in the country, from c.1890–1940. Despite rapidly becoming a leading treatment for tuberculosis, rickets and other infections and skin diseases, light therapy was a contentious medical practice. Bodily exposure to light, whether for therapeutic or aesthetic ends, persists as a contested subject to this day: recommended to counter psoriasis and other skin conditions as well as Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) and depression; closely linked to notions of beauty, happiness and well-being, fuelling tourism to sunny locales abroad and the tanning industry at home; and yet with repeated health warnings that it is a dangerous carcinogen. By analysing archival photographs, illustrated medical texts, advertisements, lamps, and goggles and their visual representation of how light acted upon the body, Woloshyn assesses their complicated contribution to the founding of light therapy. Soaking up the rays will appeal to those intrigued by medicine’s visual culture, especially academics and students of the histories of art and visual culture, material cultures, medicine, science and technology, and popular culture.

    This book is about the idea of the university in modern Germany. Its primary focus is how the transformation of the Humboldtian tradition gave direction to debates around higher education. By combining approaches from intellectual history, conceptual history and the history of knowledge, the study investigates the ways in which Humboldt’s ideas have been appropriated for various purposes in different historical contexts and epochs. Ultimately, it shows that Humboldt’s ideals are not timeless – they are historical phenomena and have always been determined by the predicaments and issues of the day. Nevertheless, many of the key concepts and fundamental ideas have endured throughout the twentieth century, though they have been interpreted in different ways.

  5. “Grandiosos Batuques” : Tensões, arranjos e experiências coloniais em Moçambique (1890-1940)

    The word “batuque” (drums) has a multiple history. In general, until today, it is used to name different musical performances and practices produced by Africans or Afro-descendants. This book investigates the historical processes around the “batuques” during the Portuguese early colonialism in Lourenço Marques – currently Maputo – and in southern Mozambique (1890-1940). The categories forged by Portuguese colonial discourses were not able to grasp the multiplicity of experiences of African populations and their practices. Through theoretical and methodological Social History framework, perspectives based on the history “from below” and microhistory research in archives, the “batuques” are, in this book, an object of investigation and a privileged window to analyze resistance, tensions and daily arrangements of those who were subordinated by the Portuguese colonizing power in the region. O “batuque” possui uma história múltipla. O termo foi empregado para designar diferentes práticas musicais e tipos de performance produzidos por africanos e/ou afrodescendentes. Este livro tem como objetivo investigar as formas como os “batuques” foram praticados e resignificados pelo colonialismo português em Lourenço Marques – atual Maputo – e no sul de Moçambique durante o período de 1890-1940. As categorias criadas e implementadas pela ação colonial portuguesa não foram capazes de conter a multiplicidade de experiências das populações africanas e das suas práticas. Por meio de ferramentas teórico-metodológicas da História Social da Cultura, da história “vista de baixo” e da microhistória, os “batuques” configuram-se neste livro como objeto de investigação e janela privilegiada para analisar resistências, tensões e arranjos cotidianos daqueles que foram subalternizados pelo poder colonizador português na região.

  6. Modernisation in Russia since 1900

    "Modernisation has been a constant theme in Russian history at least since Peter the Great launched a series of initiatives aimed at closing the economic, technical and cultural gap between Russia and the more ‘advanced’ countries of Europe. All of the leaders of the Soviet Union and post-Soviet Russia have been intensely aware of this gap, and have pursued a number of strategies, some more successful than others, in order to modernise the country. But it would be wrong to view modernisation as a unilinear process which was the exclusive preserve of the state. Modernisation has had profound effects on Russian society, and the attitudes of different social groups have been crucial to the success and failure of modernisation.

     

    This volume examines the broad theme of modernisation in late imperial, Soviet, and post-Soviet Russia both through general overviews of particular topics, and specific case studies of modernisation projects and their impact. Modernisation is seen not just as an economic policy, but as a cultural and social phenomenon reflected through such diverse themes as ideology, welfare, education, gender relations, transport, political reform, and the Internet. The result is the most up to date and comprehensive survey of modernisation in Russia available, which highlights both one of the perennial problems and the challenges and prospects for contemporary Russia."

    Eleanor Dark (1901-1985) is one of Australia's most celebrated writers of the inter-war years. Born with the twentieth century - a Federation baby - she published ten novels, amongst them one of the best loved Australian stories of all time, The Timeless Land. Her life spanned successive global crises - two world wars, the economic depression of the 1930s, the Cold War - each issuing its own challenges to the artist and the people's writer she thought herself to be. By far the most privileged writer of her generation, her ultimate challenge was a personal one: to unlock the gates of her world-proof life to a society and a world in crisis. The first cross-cultural biography of this famous Australian writer, Marivic Wyndham's rich and controversial portrait of Eleanor Dark is based on extensive research of the author's public and private lives.

  8. The Fall of Berlin

    "Mendl Mann’s autobiographical novel The Fall of Berlin tells the painful yet compelling story of life as a Jewish soldier in the Red Army. Menakhem Isaacovich is a Polish Jew who, after fleeing the Nazis, finds refuge in the USSR. Translated into English from the original Yiddish by Maurice Wolfthal, the narrative follows Menakhem as he fights on the front line in Stalin’s Red Army against Hitler and the Nazis who are destroying his homeland of Poland and exterminating the Jews.

     

    Menakhem encounters anti-Semitism on various occasions throughout the novel, and struggles to comprehend how seemingly normal people could hold such appalling views. As Mann writes, it is odd that ""vicious, insidious anti-Semitism could reside in a person with elevated feelings, an average person, a decent person”. The Fall of Berlin is both a striking and timelylook at the struggle that many Jewish soldiers faced.

     

    An affecting and unique book, which eloquently explores a variety of themes – such as anti-Semitism, patriotism, Stalinism and life as a Jewish soldier in the Second World War – this is essential reading for anyone interested in the Yiddish language, Jewish history, and the history of World War II.

    Der »Große Vaterländische Krieg 1941-1945« machte die Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter der sowjetischen Museen, die ›muzejsciki‹, zu Akteuren der Erinnerung. An der Front, im Hinterland und in den besetzten Gebieten sammelten sie Relikte von Kämpfen und erlittenem Leid. Ihre zeitnahen und überraschend vielschichtigen Kriegsausstellungen fanden große Resonanz bei den Besucherinnen und Besuchern. Anne E. Hasselmann setzt den Fokus auf die Sammel-, Ausstellungs- und Vermittlungsarbeit der ›muzejsciki‹ am Übergang von Erlebnis zur Erinnerung. Damit eröffnet sie neue Einblicke in die Gesellschaft im Stalinismus und schließt eine Lücke in der Erinnerungsgeschichte des Krieges, der das Selbstverständnis der russischen Gesellschaft bis heute prägt.

    From 1934 onwards, the city government provided funds to revive the construction industry and to push on with the renewal of the city. Many “outdated” and “traffic-obstructing” buildings were destroyed, facades were renovated by removing ornaments and structural elements which were then considered "worthless" and "tasteless”. This book deals with a chapter of the architectural and urban history of Vienna that has thus far been neglected, examines the “healing” of the city in its dimensions as well as the parallel discussions of experts, and compares the renewal of the city of Vienna with similar developments in other European countries in the 1930s. Die christlich-soziale Wiener Stadtregierung stellte ab 1934 finanzielle Mittel zur Verfügung, um die private Bauwirtschaft anzukurbeln und dadurch die „Stadtgesundung“ (Assanierung) voranzutreiben. Zahlreiche „veraltete“ und „verkehrsbehindernde“ Altbauten wurden abgetragen, Fassaden erneuert und dabei als „geschmacklos“ oder „wertlos“ bezeichnete Schmuck- und Gliederungselemente entfernt. Vorliegende Publikation arbeitet ein noch zu wenig beachtetes Kapitel der Architektur- und Stadtgeschichte Wiens auf, untersucht die Ausmaße der „Gesundungsmaßnahmen“ sowie den begleitenden Fachdiskurs und verortet die „Wiener Assanierung“ in der Entwicklung der Altstadtsanierung im Europa der Zwischenkriegszeit.

    This book sheds new light on the under-researched period of early British cinema through an in-depth history of the British and Colonial Kinematograph Company – also known as ‘B&C’– in the years 1908-1916, the period when it became one of Britain’s leading film producers. It provides an account of its films and personalities, and explores its production methods, business practices and policy changes.

     

    Gerry Turvey examines the range of short film genres B&C manufactured, including newsworthy topicals and comics, and series dramas, and how they often drew on the resources of urban Britain’s existing popular culture – from cheap reading matter to East End melodramas. He discusses B&C’s first open-air studio in East Finchley, its extensive use of location filming, and its large, state-of-the-art studio at Walthamstow. He also investigates how the films were photographed and ‘staged’, their developing formal properties, and how the choice of genres shifted radically over time in an attempt to seek new audiences.

    In many ways, twentieth-century America was the land of superheroes and science fiction. From Superman and Batman to the Fantastic Four and the X-Men, these pop-culture juggernauts, with their "powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men," thrilled readers and audiences - and simultaneously embodied a host of our dreams and fears about modern life and the onrushing future. But that's just scratching the surface, says Jeffrey J. Kripal. In Mutants and Mystics, Kripal offers a brilliantly insightful account of how comic book heroes have helped their creators and fans alike explore and express a wealth of paranormal experiences ignored by mainstream science. Delving deeply into the work of major figures in the field - from Jack Kirby's cosmic superhero sagas and Philip K. Dick's futuristic head - trips to Alan Moore's sex magic and Whitley Strieber's communion with visitors - Kripal shows how creators turned to science fiction to convey the reality of the inexplicable and the paranormal they experienced in their lives.Expanded consciousness found its language in the metaphors of sci-fi-incredible powers, unprecedented mutations, time-loops, and vast intergalactic intelligences - and the deeper influences of mythology and religion that these in turn drew from; the wildly creative work that followed caught the imaginations of millions. A bravura performance, beautifully illustrated in full color throughout and brimming over with incredible personal stories, Mutants and Mystics is that rarest of things: a book that is guaranteed to broaden-and maybe even blow-your mind

    Anna Seghers Jahre im mexikanischen Exil – fulminant erzählt von Volker Weidermann 1941: Als Anna Seghers endlich die Flucht aus Europa gelingt, ahnt sie nicht, dass die Jahre in Mexiko ihr Leben entscheidend prägen werden. Hier wird sie mit der Veröffentlichung des "Siebten Kreuzes" in den USA über Nacht berühmt, hier schreibt sie ihre wichtigsten Werke und erfährt sowohl den Verlust der Mutter, die sie nicht mehr aus Nazi-Deutschland retten kann, als auch die eigene Endlichkeit, als sie bei einem schweren Verkehrsunfall fast stirbt. In den Jahren 1941 bis 1947 trifft sie in Mexiko Stadt nicht nur Diego Rivera, Frida Kahlo und Pablo Neruda, sondern auch deutsche Exilkommunisten und Juden, die wie sie mit dem Stalinismus ringen. Inmitten überbordender Farben, gleißenden Lichts und einer Kultur, die den Tod feiert, bleibt die Sehnsucht nach Europa ...

    Becoming Global Asia centers Singapore as a crucial site for comprehending the uneven effects of colonialism and capitalism. In the wake of the 1997 Asian financial crisis, Singapore transformed its reputation as a culturally sterile and punitive nation to “Global Asia”—an alluring location ideal for economic flourishing. Cheryl Narumi Naruse analyzes how Singapore gained cultural capital and soft power by examining genres such as literary anthologies, demographic compilations, coming-of-career narratives, and princess fantasies. Tracing the trajectory of Singapore’s positioning as Global Asia, Naruse reveals how the country emerged as a celebrated postcolonial model nation and a site of imperial desire that enables subjugation of the so-called Third World. Her readings of Global Asia as an invention of postcolonial capitalism offer new conceptual paradigms for understanding postcolonialism, neoliberalism, and empire. “Cheryl Narumi Naruse offers a lucid, much-needed theorization of postcolonial capitalism—a mode of sovereignty simultaneously forged against empire and productive of neoliberal governance. An important and original contribution to debates around Global Asia and its cultural forms, with ramifications far beyond Singapore.”— JINI KIM WATSON, Professor of English and Comparative Literature, New York University “After Becoming Global Asia, criticism about cultural geopolitics and literary studies that disregards Singapore, or does not center Naruse’s cogent analysis on the aesthetics of postcolonial capitalism, will be incomplete.” — MOHAN AMBIKAIPAKER, author of Political Blackness in Multiracial Britain “If you’ve ever wondered about the dark side of the idea of ‘Global Asia,’ read this book. And if you are looking for evidence that literature can be more than a mere tool of the state and capital, this book is also for you.” — COLLEEN LYE, author of America’s Asia: Racial Form and American Literature, 1893–1945"...

    In the centre of this study stand some 154 letters exchanged between the Austrian writer Alexander Lernet-Holenia (1897-1976) and Maria Charlotte ("Lotte") Sweceny (née Stein, 1904-1956), the co-proprietor of the Viennese publishing house Manz, between 1938 and 1945. The transcripts are followed by a commentary that aims to elucidate the historical, individual and geographical references. A methodological note explains the corpus' provenance and method of transcribing and commenting on the letters adopted in the thesis. The last chapter of this study is devoted to Lotte Sweceny, the letters' addressee, and her family background. The letters' existence is due to the fact that the couple was separated by the outbreak of WW II and continued their relationship through correspondence. In September 1939 Lernet took part in the "Wehrmacht's" raid on Poland and was lightly wounded. As a result he spent the rest of the war on a leave of absence in his house in St. Wolfgang and, after September 1941, in Berlin. There, he worked as head of development of the "Heeresfilmstelle" (an office in charge of producing NS propaganda films), writing scripts himself and evaluating those by others. In these years, two of his most important novels, Mars im Widder (Mars in Aries) and Beide Sizilien (The Two Sicilies), were written - both are today considered as running counter to NS propaganda. Lotte Sweceny and her friends found their way into the set of characters and into the plot of Mars in Aries. The collection of poems Die Trophae (The Trophy) also originated from these years. When published in 1946, Lernet dedicated this work - which he considered to be his best - to Lotte Sweceny. The letters contain important background and numerous insights about the genesis and subsequent publicati ... Zentrum der vorliegenden Arbeit bildet die Edition des Briefwechsels zwischen dem österreichischen Schriftsteller Alexander Lernet-Holenia (1897-1976) und Maria Charlotte ("Lotte") Sweceny (geb. Stein, 1904-1956), Gesellschafterin des Wiener Verlags Manz, während der Jahre 1938 bis 1945. Ein einleitender Aufsatz bietet einen Forschungsüberblick, gibt den Inhalt der Briefe wieder und analysiert ihre Bedeutung für Biografie und Werk Alexander Lernet-Holenias. Auf die Transkripte der 154 Briefe folgt der Kommentar, der die in diesen vorhandenen Bezüge historischer, personeller, geografischer und sonstiger Art erläutert. Ein editorischer Bericht gibt Aufschluss über die Provenienz des Korpus' sowie die Methode von Transkription und Kommentierung. Das abschließende Kapitel widmet sich Lotte Sweceny, der Adressatin der Briefe, und ihrem familiären Hintergrund. Die Existenz der Briefe verdankt sich der Tatsache, dass das Paar durch den Ausbruch des Zweiten Weltkriegs getrennt wurde und seine Beziehung mit Hilfe von Briefen fortführte. Im September 1939 nahm der Wehrmachts-Offizier Alexander Lernet-Holenia am Überfall auf Polen teil, wurde verwundet und verbrachte den Rest des Krieges beurlaubt in seinem Haus in St. Wolfgang bzw. ab September 1941 überwiegend in Berlin, wo er als Leiter des Entwicklungsstabs der Heeresfilmstelle Drehbücher beurteilte und auch selbst verfasste. Ebenfalls aus diesen Jahren datieren zwei seiner bedeutendsten Romane, Mars im Widder und Beide Sizilien, die beide der Propaganda, die er im Brotberuf generieren half, zuwiderlaufen. Lotte Sweceny und ihr Freundeskreis fanden in Figurengestaltung und Handlung des Mars im Widder Eingang. Auch die Gedichtsammlung Die Trophae entstand in diesen Jahren - bei ihrem Erscheinen 1946 widmete Lernet dieses ihm l ...

In den Online-Publikationen wurde dieser Fehler behoben. Es gilt für alle Ausgaben des Titels die CC-BY Lizenz. Nach dem Zusammenbruch Jugoslawiens stellte sich die brisante Frage, wer die Stelle des einstigen Helden Titos einnehmen und das von ihm hinterlassene visuelle Vakuum füllen würde. In Ikonen der Nationen analysiert Klaudija Sabo die künstlerischen Produktionen, die seit den 1980ern bis in die Gegenwart neue HeldInnenfiguren kreieren und damit nationale Identitätsbildungen in Kroatien und Serbien konstituieren. Um einen Stereotyp des Helden heraus zufiltern, wurde eine Bandbreite an bewegten und statischen Quellen, darunter Filme, Plakate, Postkarten, Comics, Karikaturen, Skulpturen sowie Malerei, herangezogen und miteinander in Bezug gesetzt. Damit liefert die Arbeit sowohl einen Beitrag zur vergleichenden Geschichte der Nationsbildungsprozesse als auch zum Verständnis der gewaltvollen Konflikte in den 1990er Jahren The study examines how national myths in the former Yugoslavia were transformed in the 1990s, impacting the identity formation of ethnic groups and other collectives. Examining various visual media, it develops a comparative presentation of male and female heroic figures in Croatia and Serbia

    5. Beirut: Past, Present, Future? Memory and Anxiety in Contemporary Lebanese ComicsEpilogue; Notes; Bibliography; Back Cover. Beirut is the cultural, commercial and economic hub of Lebanon. But to what extent has the city affected and shaped the formation and perceptions of Lebanese national identity?
