Literature and Cinema Between the Second and the Third Worlds

Succinct and comprehensive, this updated and expanded edition of A Short History of Film provides an accessible overview of the major movements, directors, studios, and genres from the 1880s to the present.

A Short History of Film

Gegenwärtig erleben wir eine zunehmende gesellschaftliche Diversifizierung und zugleich einen rechtskonservativen Backlash gegen diese Tendenz. In dieser paradoxen Situation gleichzeitiger Fort- und Rückschritte ist eine wissenschaftliche Auseinandersetzung mit Differenz enorm wichtig. Diese kann sich auf Kategorien wie Geschlecht, Klasse, 
 race
 , Alter oder Mensch/Tier beziehen; Differenzierungen finden sich aber auch in Film und Medien, wenn es um Gegensätze wie hell/dunkel oder Close Up/Totale geht. All diese und weitere Dimensionen von Differenz nimmt der Band als komplexe Gebilde kritisch in den Blick und bezieht sie (neu) aufeinander.
 Im Mittelpunkt der Beiträge stehen spezifische mediale, materielle und soziale Konstellationen, in denen Differenzen ausgehandelt werden. Diese versammeln dabei ein breites Themenspektrum, etwa verschiedene künstlerische Verfahren, die Darstellung von Migration und jüdischer Differenzerfahrung im Film, auf Sport bezogene Unterscheidungen, politische Verhältnisse in Kolumbien oder queere und diasporische Perspektiven. Im Weiterdenken intersektionaler Forschungen, die vor allem soziale Differenzen produktiv in Beziehung setzen, kommt den Bildausschnitten, Montagen, Dispositiven, Sounds etc. besondere Aufmerksamkeit zu.
 Die Wendung "differences that matter", mit der u.a. Donna Haraway, Sara Ahmed und Karen Barad argumentieren, gibt einen zentralen Impuls für den Band. 'Unterschiede von materieller Bedeutung' beziehen sich auf entsprechende Forderungen nach Ausdifferenzierung durch kapitalismus- und rassismuskritische Feministinnen of Color bereits seit dem 19. Jahrhundert. Gleichzeitig klingt in 
 Matters of Difference
 die unterschiedliche Wertigkeit der Kategorisierungen selbst an: In einer konkreten Figuration sind bestimmte Differenzen von größerem Gewicht als andere, und auch diese Unterscheidung ist sowohl hergestellt als auch mit materiellen und politischen Implikationen verbunden. Inwiefern kann die Orientierung an komplexen Differenzbeziehungen politisch produktiv sein und welche Rolle spielen dabei filmische, mediale und diskursive Dimensionen?
 Matters of Difference
 bildet den Auftakt der neuen Reihe 
 Figurationen - Filmische und mediale Verflechtungen von Differenz
 , die sich mit Fragen, Prozessen und Wahrnehmungen von Differenzverhältnissen befasst.
 Mit Beiträgen von
 Svea Bräunert, Angelica Fenner, Natascha Frankenberg, Karin Harrasser, Bettina Henzler, Till Kadritzke, Katrin Köppert, Gwendolin Lehnerer, Vera Mader, Winfried Pauleit, Drehli Robnik, Julia Schumacher / Lea Wohl von Haselberg, Markus Stauff und Susann Winsel.

The multifaceted, cubist, and comprehensive perspective of Forty-Three Ways of Looking at Hemingway appears on the fortieth anniversary of Meyers's magisterial biography of Hemingway. This approach has never before been used to illustrate the complexity of his character, the range of his interests, and the brilliance of his work. This authoritative book uses sources in Italian, Spanish, French, and German. It reveals his reading of literature and history, his transformation of friends into fiction, his personal battles and mythic stature, his persona and ever-growing legend. This work analyzes his name and background, early work, friendships, relations with artists, connections to contemporary writers, description of historical figures and events, war reporting, military experience, life in Cuba, links with Hollywood, wives and lovers as well as the novels that influenced The Sun Also Rises and the background of "The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber." It also considers Hemingway's feasts, humor, quarrels, self-condemnation, Nobel Prize, unwritten works, suicide, and lasting achievements.

Forty-Three Ways of Looking at Hemingway

When Bichette, the eponymous Tigress and uncrowned queen of Paris prostitutes, meets the grifter Fec, the unbelievable seems to happen: she is "tamed" and falls head over heels for him -- and he for her. This sets off a dangerous game that spirals toward wild escalation in the luxury hotels and casinos of the French Riviera before reaching its grotesque culmination in Montmartre. The nihilism and invented personas recall Serner's engagement with Dada as nothing anyone says or does can be taken at face value. Everything becomes a con, and love the greatest con of all. Responding to initial attempts to ban The Tigress for its erotic content and demimonde patois by having it placed on a list of "trash and smut writings," many well-known authors, such as Alfred Döblin, wrote testimonials in support of it.

A Curious Love Story

The Tigress

"Seductive and mercurial, Nancy's book has propagated an ecosystem of texts and images all its own--not least Claire Denis's adaptation (adoption?), one of the crucial films of the twenty-first century."--Leo Goldsmith, film critic and programmer "'I was no longer in me' Nancy's stunning formula states a truth that threatens every border with a knowledge of its illusory rigidity and the false homogeneity of what it would protect. Ultimately, Nancy tells us with unsettling lucidity, everybody--every body--is an intruder of itself."--Jeff Fort, from the Introduction Complete in English for the first time, a major philosopher's most personal work and the source of an acclaimed film. In 1991, Jean-Luc Nancy's heart gave out. In one of the first such procedures in France, a stranger's heart was grafted into his body. Numerous complications followed, including more surgeries and lymphatic cancer. The procedure and illnesses he endured revealed to him, in a more visceral way than most of us ever experience, the strangeness of bodily existence itself and surviving the stranger within him. During this same period, Europe began closing its borders to those seeking refuge from war and poverty. Alarmed at this trend and drawn to a highly intimate form of strangeness with which he had been living for years, Nancy set out in The Intruder to articulate how intrusion--whether of a body or a border--is not antithetical to one's identity but constitutive of it. In 2004, Claire Denis adapted The Intruder into a film already hailed among the most important of our century. This edition includes Nancy's and Denis's accounts of turning philosophy into film and the text of a shorter collaboration between the two of them. Throughout, Nancy and Denis push us to recognize that to truly welcome strangers means a constant struggle against exoticism, enforced assimilation, and confidence in our own self-identity.

The Intruder

A rich exploration of the many ways women shaped the economic and cultural life of the eighteenth and nineteenth century.

This collection redefines the role of women in the development of modern capitalism, revealing their active participation as investors, entrepreneurs, theorists, and cultural producers between 1770 and 1914. Drawing on archival research and literary analysis, the essays uncover how women shaped financial systems, navigated market constraints, and leveraged sentiment, education, and capital to assert economic agency.


Bridging literary studies with social and economic history, Women, Money and Markets challenges the conventional portrayal of the marketplace as a purely rational domain, highlighting instead the emotional and relational dynamics that underpinned women's economic lives. From shareholder lists to fictional representations, contributors explore how women influenced the financialisation of the economy and contested their marginalisation in both historical records and cultural narratives.


Featuring fresh readings of authors like Wollstonecraft and Gaskell alongside lesser-known voices, this volume offers a plural and nuanced account of women's economic engagement, and its representation, across diverse contexts. It is essential reading for scholars of literature, history, gender studies, and anyone interested in the invisible hands that helped shape the modern world.

A Reading Journal: Too Much Plot

A critical synthesis of the work of Lauren Berlant, Moishe Postone, and Michael Silverstein. The Treadmill Affect draws upon the work of three University of Chicago professors, each a former program director at the Center for Transcultural Studies: literary and cultural critic Lauren Berlant, historian and social theorist Moishe Postone, and linguist Michael Silverstein. Through this intellectual synthesis, Benjamin Lee demonstrates the critical possibilities of uniting a revived linguistic turn with Marxist accounts of affect and subjectivity, adding new dimensions to the "treadmill" affective structure of cruel optimism.

Marxism, Subjectivity, and the Present

The Treadmill Affect

Winner of the German Book Prize, the Swiss Book Prize, and the Jürgen Ponto Foundation Literature Prize A prizewinning, boundary-breaking debut exploring family, class, history, and the true idea of the self. A glorious, tender, unsparing exploration of language, family, history, class, self, and the human, Sea, Mothers, Swallow, Tongues begins with the loss of memory. As their grandmother falls into dementia, the narrator begins to ask questions-to fill in the silences and the gaps. Childhood memories resurface, revealing a path into the past. The maternal line leads toward nature, witchcraft, freedom, and power. Could this be where the narrator belongs? A quest toward understanding, a story of liberation-from generational trauma, gender constructs, class identity, the limits of language-this narrative invents its own forms, words, and bodies to conjure and cast out the very idea of the unspeakable. It searches for other kinds of knowledge and traditions, other ways of becoming, and reaches for wisdom beyond the human. In Sea, Mothers, Swallow, Tongues, Kim de l'Horizon reimagines family narratives, abandoning the linear in favor of a fluid, incantatory, expansive search into who we are.
