Zwischen Weltbürgertum und Neuem Kosmopolitismus: Verhandlungen übernationaler Gemeinschaft und Zugehörigkeit in der Exilliteratur (Exil-Kulturen #7)
by Sandra NarlochUnter dem Schlagwort eines ,Neuen Kosmopolitismus’ plädieren Theoretiker*innen verschiedener Disziplinen seit Beginn des 21. Jahrhunderts für eine kritische Wiederaufnahme und Aktualisierung des Kosmopolitismusbegriffs. Obwohl in diesem Kontext wiederholt die wesentliche Bedeutung betont wurde, die dem Exil in Bezug auf die Ausbildung kosmopolitischer Praktiken und Haltungen zukommt, sind die im deutschsprachigen Exil der Jahre 1933 bis 1945 entstandenen Texte bisher noch nicht umfassender in Beziehung zu neokosmopolitischen Positionen gesetzt worden. Hier setzt die Studie mit einer Relektüre von Werken von Irmgard Keun, Joseph Roth, Peter Weiss, Stefan Zweig, Lion Feuchtwanger und Thomas Mann an. Darüber hinaus bearbeitet sie mit ihrer Konzentration auf den Bereich der Exilliteratur auch insofern ein innovatives Forschungsfeld, als dezidiert literaturwissenschaftliche Perspektiven in den Debatten eines ,Neuen Kosmopolitismus’ bisher stark unterrepräsentiert sind.

Hiervoor zal hij zijn lijf en ledematen, en dat van zijn bemanning, moeten riskeren om de beproevingen te doorstaan. Hoe ver zal Edwards verlangen naar wraak hem brengen, en in welke gevaren zal hij zijn bemanning plaatsen voor zijn Freedom? Ontdek welke actie Edward zal ondernemen in Zwartbaards Revenge, en volg zijn fantasie-avontuur vol piraten, kapers en alles daartussenin in de Reizen op de Queen Anne's Revenge!

by Jeremy McLeanFantasy ontmoet geschiedenis en reilt en zeilt in dit alternatieve verhaal over hoe Zwartbaard de plaag van de zeeën is geworden. "Pirates of the Caribbean ontmoet Indiana Jones!" - James (Amazon.co.uk) Wat zou jij doen voor jouw vrijheid? Zou je stelen? Moorden? Sterven? Voor Edward Thatch, bestaat er geen twijfel over hoe ver hij zou gaan voor zijn vrijheid. “Ik bleef de pagina’s maar omslaan en omslaan, om te ontdekken wat er zou gebeuren.” -Teressa J Betts Edward had geen idee dat hij een voormalig piratenschip had gekocht. Als de marinierskapitein, Isaac Smith, dreigt om het schip, en zijn vrijheid van hem af te nemen, neemt hij het heft in eigen hand. Door Edwards actie wordt hij, samen met zijn beste vriend Henry Morgan, een voortvluchtige op een avontuur door het historische Caribisch gebied en Latijns-Amerika. De twee zullen niet alleen moeten vechten om in leven te blijven, maar ook om vrij te blijven tijdens de zogenaamde "Gouden Eeuw" van de piraterij. Edward ontdekt ook dat de helft van het schip dat hij kocht op slot zit. In plaats van sleutels, vinden ze raadsels en aanwijzingen achtergelaten door de vorige eigenaar. Edward en zijn bemanning moeten de raadsels oplossen, de aanwijzingen volgen, en een spel om leven en dood onder ogen zien voordat ze de sleutels van de rest van het schip kunnen claimen. En al die tijd ademt een zekere marine-kapitein in hun nek en richt zich op hun leven. Zullen Edward en Henry het leven omarmen dat hen is opgedrongen, of zullen ze tegen de rotsen van hun ongeluk botsen? Zie hoe de piraat Zwartbaard de plaag van de Caribische Zee en daarbuiten is geworden, en volg hem op zijn avonturen vol piraten, kapers en alles daartussenin in De reizen op de Queen Anne's Revenge!

The Zurau Aphorisms of Franz Kafka
by Franz KafkaThe essential philosophical writings of one of the twentieth century's most influential writers are now gathered into a single volume with an introduction and afterword by the celebrated writer and publisher Roberto Calasso. Illness set him free to write a series of philosophical fragments: some narratives, some single images, some parables. These "aphorisms" appeared, sometimes with a few words changed, in other writings--some of them as posthumous fragments published only after Kafka's death in 1924. While working on K., his major book on Kafka, in the Bodleian Library, Roberto Calasso realized that the Zürau aphorisms, each written on a separate slip of very thin paper, numbered but unbound, represented something unique in Kafka's opus--a work whose form he had created simultaneously with its content.The notebooks, freshly translated and laid out as Kafka had intended, are a distillation of Kafka at his most powerful and enigmatic. This lost jewel provides the reader with a fresh perspective on the collective work of a genius.
Zundel's Exit
by Michael Hoffman Markus WernerScrounged from his notebooks and hearsay, this is the story of a schoolteacher named Konrad Zündel: a philosopher, a wanna-be writer; scattered, self-conscious, glum, anxious, unlucky, discontent . . . At the end of his rope, he decides to flee his workaday life at all costs, only to find escape always a little beyond his reach. First his tooth falls out in the sight of other travelers, then he finds a severed finger in a restroom on a train. In fact, Zündel seems on the verge of falling to bits, as do his words, thoughts, wife, and world--will there be anything left, and anyone to hold the pieces? Zündel's Exit is a Chaplinesque comedy of disintegration, never knowing if it's coming or going.

Zum Bild des tirailleur sénégalais im französischen Comic: Repräsentation einer kolonialen Figur in der Erinnerungskultur des 1. Weltkriegs
by Jérôme SerriereDie Ausgangsfrage dieser Untersuchung ist, wie sich eine Gesellschaft an den 1. Weltkrieg erinnert und inwiefern sich diese Erinnerung mit der Zeit wandelt. Das Phänomen eines solchen „kollektiven Gedächtnisses“ und die verschiedenen Konzepte von Halbwachs, Nora („lieux de mémoire“), Jan Assmann („kulturelles Gedächtnis“) und Aleida Assmann („Funktions- und Speichergedächtnis“ des kulturellen Gedächtnisses) bilden den theoretischen Rahmen der Arbeit.Das Untersuchungsmedium zur Erforschung der französischen Erinnerungskultur zum 1. Weltkrieg bilden Comics („bande dessinées“), ein in Frankreich etabliertes und nachgefragtes Medium. Im Fokus der Betrachtung steht die Rolle der sogenannten „tirailleurs sénégalais“ in der Erinnerungskultur und wie sich die Kolonialzeit auf ihre Wahrnehmung in der französischen Gesellschaft auswirkte. Unterschieden wird dabei zwischen Tirailleurs als Kolonialsoldaten und der Figur des Tirailleurs als Konstrukt einer vergangenen Kolonialzeit. Den Kern der Arbeit bildet die Analyse zweier ausgewählter Comics. Nach festgelegten Kriterien (Deskription, Authentizität, Darstellung, Beitrag zur Erinnerungskultur) wird hier die Darstellung der Tirailleurs im Comic mit dem Bild der Tirailleurs in der Erinnerungskultur und in der Kolonialzeit verglichen. In den Comics werden aus erinnerungskulturellen Randfiguren und historischen Statisten Hauptfiguren des 1. Weltkriegs und selbstbestimmte Protagonisten postkolonialen Ausmaßes.
