Verletzbarkeit ist - angesichts von Pandemie, Krieg, Klimawandel - ein Schlüsselkonzept der Gegenwart. Welches Wissen Literatur über Vulnerabilität an der Schnittstelle von Affekt, Gewalt, Widerstand enthält, untersucht der Band. Anhand von Texten des 20. und 21. Jahrhunderts, u. a. von Ingeborg Bachmann, Deniz Ohde, Leif Randt, beleuchtet er Facetten von Verletzbarkeit im Rückgriff auf gendertheoretische, intersektionale, soziologische Konzepte.

Gewalt, Affekte und Widerstand im 20. und 21. Jahrhundert

Poetiken der Verletzbarkeit

A sweeping analysis uncovers the causes of-and solutions to-one of the most daunting public health challenges facing the world today: antibiotic resistance exploding in India. The discovery of antibiotics was one of the most significant medical breakthroughs of the twentieth century, dramatically increasing human lifespans. Yet today, with antibiotic-resistant superbugs implicated in as many deaths as HIV/AIDS and malaria combined, the limits of these miracle drugs have become alarmingly clear. At ground zero of the growing crisis is India, one of the world's largest consumers of antibiotics and a powerhouse in pharmaceutical manufacturing. In A World of Resistance, Assa Doron and Alex Broom draw on years of fieldwork in hospitals, in pharmacies, and on factory farms to examine the enormous social and environmental costs of overreliance on antibiotics. They show how an overtaxed healthcare system with limited oversight, widespread use of antibiotics in industrial agriculture, and the incessant dumping of pharmaceutical waste into waterways have created the ideal conditions for antibiotic-resistant microbes to grow. As resistance spreads across India and beyond, Doron and Broom argue that the solution isn't to restrict access to antibiotics but to embrace forms of health education, indigenous practices, and policies grounded in social solidarity. Only then, the authors contend, is it possible to turn the page on India's precarious relationship with antibiotics and to address resistance globally-before it is too late.

India and the Global Antibiotic Crisis

A World of Resistance

Das Interesse des Buches gilt der Poetik einer Sprache körperlicher Wahrnehmung im Untergrund allen Bewusstseins, die "eine andere Weise des Dienstes an der Wahrheit" (Lévinas) ermöglicht und jede etablierte Sprache des Wissens und der Macht in ihren Funktionen von Identifizierung und Diskriminierung verunsichert. Wir finden darin eine Sprache, deren Subjekt sich erst im Gewahrwerden einer ultimativen Entzogenheit von Wissen und Macht gegenüber allen lebendigen Subjekten konstituiert und eher den Inspirationen des Lebens als den Urteilen des Bewusstseins und der Erkenntnis dient. Als rezessive Subjektivität manifestiert sie sich in einer Geste des Sein-lassen, das sich jedes kognitiven Zugriffs auf die Welt und die Natur enthält. Die Bedingungen der conditio humana, das Gewahrsein der Endlichkeit, Fragilität und Exponiertheit, und die natürliche Transformativität des Lebens überhaupt finden in dieser poetischen Geste jenseits aller begrifflichen Eindeutigkeit die ihnen gemäße Sprache.

Poetik des Leibes

The arrangement thrills Nora’s daughter, who has begun a mutual flirtation with Tiphaine’s fifteen-year-old son, Milo.But Nora doesn’t know that the Geniots are a disturbed couple whose lives were destroyed by a devastating loss. She also doesn’t know a tragic secret about Milo that is also connected to her new house.As the truth of the past come to light, what Nora doesn’t know could kill her. . . .Translated from the French by Natasha Lehrer

A Novel

After the End

This book examines London’s eighteenth–century upholding trade. Primarily providing household furniture and upholstery goods and services at the beginning of the century, by mid-century upholders provided stylish and fashionable residential interior furnishings, funeral undertaking, and a secondary market for used household goods. Upholders were at the forefront of the development of Britain’s material culture, and were important contributors to London’s economic and social fabric. Providing context to the social and business lives of upholders, the author surveys key themes including apprenticeship, livery companies, empire, material culture, consumerism, taste and fashion, advertising, and credit. The book also explores how upholders came to dominate the funeral undertaking business, and integrated brokering, appraising, and auctioneering into their businesses.

Adapting to the economic changes and interior furnishing trends that took place in the first half of the eighteenth century, many upholders expanded their business lines. While consumer demand increased for household goods, so too did the widespread use of personal credit, which ultimately led to an increase in upholder bankruptcies after 1760. Through two case studies of financially successful upholders, the book sheds light on diverse topics such as the East India Company, banking, royal household tradesmen, and military contracting, to create an intricate understanding of their experiences. Offering new insights into the business, social, and personal lives of London’s upholders, this book demonstrates how they were instrumental in creating a new domestic commerce in eighteenth-century Britain.

A New Domestic Commerce

The Eighteenth–Century London Upholder

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of I'm Glad My Mom Died comes a sad, funny, thrilling novel about sex, consumerism, class, desire, loneliness, the internet, rage, intimacy, power, and the (oftentimes misguided) lengths we'll go to in order to get what we want. Waldo is ravenous. Horny. Blunt. Naive. Wise. Impulsive. Lonely. Angry. Forceful. Hurting. Perceptive. Endlessly wanting. And the thing she wants most of all: Mr. Korgy, her creative writing teacher with the wife and the kid and the mortgage and the growing paunch. She doesn't know why she wants him. Is it his passion? His life experience? The fact that he knows books and films and things that she doesn't? Or is it purer than that, rooted in their unlikely connection, their kindred spirits, the similar filter with which they each take in the world around them? Or, perhaps, it's just enough that he sees her when no one else does.&nbsp; Startlingly perceptive, mordantly funny, and keenly poignant, Half His Age is a rich character study of a yearning seventeen-year-old who disregards all obstacles—in her effort to be seen, to be desired, to be loved.

Global Perspectives in Comics Studies

Exploring Ecological Issues in Graphic Narratives positions graphic storytelling at the intersection of ecocriticism, environmental justice, and Comics Studies. This book argues that ecological catastrophe is not only a scientific or policy crisis but also a crisis of representation, set against the backdrop of climate change, biodiversity loss, and systemic environmental inequity.While ecocriticism has expanded significantly, this book largely focuses on canonical prose, overlooking the multimodal and spatial possibilities of graphic narratives. It critically engages with the Anthropocene, highlighting the deep connections between environmental degradation and colonialism, capitalism, caste oppression, and gendered exploitation. Through global case studies-including Indigenous resistance in Canada's oil sands, Dalit environmental aesthetics in India, Japanese eco-dystopian manga, and urban human-animal reconfigurations-it explores how graphic narratives depict "slow violence," express nonhuman agency, and challenge anthropocentric binaries.Part of the Global Perspectives in Comics Studies series, this book addresses the multilingual dimensions of the comics medium, often overlooked in ecocriticism, making it a valuable resource for scholars and enthusiasts alike. With its international scope, it will appeal to academics, students, activists, artists, educators, policy-makers, and graphic novel enthusiasts exploring ecological issues, environmental justice, and the interdisciplinary potential of graphic narratives, particularly in regions where comics and graphic novels thrive.

Exploring Ecological Issues in Graphic Narratives

In this modern day fairy tale, seven sisters raised in the woods fight to keep their freedom.Deep in the woods of western Finland, a bear hunter has raised his seven daughters to live off the land and steer clear of the trappings of life in town, like cell phones and a social life outside their family. When on his youngest Elga’s twelfth birthday the hunter is killed by his prey, and their mother dies soon thereafter, the sisters are left with unpaid bills and a leaky house. The tension between sticking to the wild ways their father taught them and submitting to well-meaning townsfolk’s efforts to “help” threatens to divide the seven sisters. Eldest Johanna tries to wield control, young Elga feels tempted by the pull to education, artist Laura spends all her time dreaming up sculptures and exploring nature – but their trips to the farmer’s market to sell foraged mushrooms and their free time exploring their vast forest home bring them together in riotous fun. With evocative language and visceral scene-setting, readers get lost in world they’ve invented together and join the fight to protect it.Inspired by Aleksis Kivi’s classic Finnish novel&nbsp;Seven Brothers&nbsp;(1870), The Bear Hunter’s Daughters is at once realistic and fantastical, an intensely sensory exploration of our essential bonds both with nature and with one another.

Literatur - Poetik - Ästhetik

Angelika Meier (*1968) ist eine Ausnahmeerscheinung der deutschsprachigen Gegenwartsliteratur: philosophisch scharf, intertextuell überbordend, zugleich komisch, melancholisch und formal kühn. Ihre Romane, Erzählungen und Essays treiben ein ebenso lustvolles wie virtuoses Spiel mit Popkultur und intermedialer Reflexion, mit Sprachwitz und radikaler Lese-Verunsicherung. 
Dieser Band versammelt erstmals eine breite literaturwissenschaftliche Auseinandersetzung mit Meiers Werk. Die Beiträge untersuchen poetologische Verfahren, kulturtheoretische Kontexte und ästhetische Strategien. Ein Band für alle, die wissen wollen, wie klug, verspielt und radikal Gegenwartsliteratur sein kann, die sich jeder Schublade entzieht.
