Half a century after his shocking samurai-style suicide, Yukio Mishima (1925-1970) remains a deeply controversial figure. Rankin sets out to demonstrate the intelligence and seriousness of Mishima's work and thought.

Demonstrates the intelligence and seriousness of Yukio Mishima's work and thought. Each chapter of the book examines one of the central ideas that Mishima develops in his writings: life as art, beauty as evil, culture as myth, eroticism as transgression, the artist as tragic hero, narcissism as the death drive.

An Intellectual Portrait

Zum ersten Mal wird das Leben und das Werk des Dichters Hermann Kükelhaus (1920 - 1944) in seiner ganzen Tiefe erzählt.
In einer einzigartigen Struktur - Werk und Biogräe eng miteinander verwoben - entfaltet sich das Bild eines Mannes, der in Sprache und Denken eine Heimat hatte. Von den Wurzeln seiner Familie bis zu seinem eigenen schöpferischen Wirken entsteht ein lebendiges, einfühlsames Porträt, das auf allen verfügbaren Quellen beruht. Seinem Bruder, dem Künstler, Denker und Gestalter Hugo Kükelhaus,verdanken wir zahlreiche Erinnerungen und Zeichnungen, die den Dichter vor und im Zweiten Weltkrieg lebendig werden lassen.
Albert Vinzens hat ein bewegendes Buch geschrieben über einen besonderen Menschen. Ein Buch über das Ringen mit dem Wort, über Glaube, Zweifel und die Kraft der Sprache, die selbst im Dunkel des Krieges Wärme zu spenden vermag.

Ein Dichter im Krieg

Object Lessons

Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things. In the hierarchy of foods, snacks are deemed trivial - perhaps even childish - especially in contrast to meals, which are seen as substantial and necessary. The multiple aisles devoted to sweet and savory treats in supermarkets, and the availability of snacks even at places like home improvement and department stores, speak to the popularity of snacking. But the ubiquity of snacks is relatively new and not common to all countries. Eurie Dahn traces the story of snacking culture through specific snacks, including Flamin' Hot Cheetos, cheese crackers, and Choco Pies, and in the contexts of ethnicity, popular culture, diet culture, and even parenting. Snack is an idiosyncratic cultural history that offers surprisingly filling food for thought.

The Performer explores the relations between performing in art (particularly music), politics and everyday experience. It focuses on the bodily and physical dimensions of performing, rather than on words. Richard Sennett is particularly attuned to the ways in which the rituals of ordinary life are performances. The book draws on history and sociology, and more personally on the author's early career as a professional cellist, as well as on his later work as a city planner and social thinker. It traces the evolution of performing spaces in the city; the emergence of actors, musicians, and dancers as independent artists; the inequality between performer and spectator; the uneasy relations between artistic creation and social and religious ritual; the uses and abuses of acting by politicians. The Janus-faced art of performing is both destructive and civilizing. This is the first in a trilogy of books on the fundamental DNA of human expression: performing, narrating, and imaging.

The typographic form of judgment stages the authoritative presence of the common law. It is in the encounter with typographic materials that legal meaning is generated, yet typographic legality--the material expression of law as visual text--is rarely examined. In this book, Thomas Giddens refocuses critical attention by studying the history of the common law's visual technologies and unpacking the heritage, meanings and techniques of its typographic appearance. It thereby develops new methodological approaches for reading the common law's primary materials as visual media. From the archive as a typographic theatre of jurisdiction, to early law report printing, to the mass duplication of reports and their entanglement in the project of empire, to the common law's digital display, Typographic Legality encounters enduring questions of legal authority, media and technology in the material details of the common law's textual form.

'What is it about David Lynch's cinematic bag of tricks - his shots of shadows and flickering electricity, his sinister soundscapes and his heartfelt scores, his dreamlike irrational stories - that affects us so deeply? How can he present us with trees swaying in the wind, or a character suddenly becoming another person, or more questions than answers, and it stays with us forever? And why is it that, when somebody else uses his tricks, it does not achieve the same results?' The loss of David Lynch in January 2025 produced an extraordinary outpouring of love and grief that revealed how deeply he mattered. But the strength and size of this reaction came as a surprise to many. In life, Lynch was a wilfully obtuse cult filmmaker who had been unable to get a film financed for the last two decades of his life. In death, both the man himself and his work are unquestionably in the pantheon of all-time greats. He leaves behind an adjective, 'Lynchian', a term used to describe work that echoes his. And yet, only Lynch could be truly Lynchian, and those who copy him fail to have an impact. So why does his work affect people so deeply? Why do some find it haunting and unforgettable while others dismiss it as meaningless? Answering that question takes us into the strange realms of psychology, art and theology. We will discover why ambiguity and mystery are so seductive, how Lynch's creative and meditative practices overlapped and why a director whose work contains so much abuse of women has such a female-skewing fanbase. Through a personal, first-person lens, Lynchian unpacks the mystery but refuses to solve the enigma of an artist whose work reshaped cinema from the inside out - where story gives way to dreams, and meaning lies not in answers, but in experience. 'A while ago I decided to read anything Higgs writes. He seems to be able to take any subject and poke at it until it yields up its secrets' FRANK COTTRELL BOYCE 'Reading John Higgs is like being shot with a diamond. Suddenly everything becomes terrifyingly clear' MOJO 'Higgs's prose has a diamond-hard quality. He knows how to make us relate' THE TIMES

Wer an Ingeborg Bachmann denkt, denkt an Klagenfurt, Wien, Rom, Neapel, Paris oder Zürich. Dass auch München ein zentraler Ort in Bachmanns Leben war, wird häufig übersehen. Eben das will diese Biografie ändern: Sie beleuchtet den Einfluss der bayerischen Landeshauptstadt auf das Leben der Ingeborg Bachmann in allen Aspekten - von ihrer Arbeit mit dem Piper Verlag über die Zeit beim Bayerischen Rundfunk bis hin zu den diversen Bekanntschaften und Freundschaften mit heute oft vergessenen Weggefährten.

Bloomsbury Introductions to World Philosophies

An ideal introduction for students new to Japanese philosophy and aesthetics, Phenomenology of Tea invites readers into a dialogue throughout the fascinating aesthetic worlds of the Japanese tea ceremony, delving into its rich history, its philosophical influences and religious backgrounds all synthesized into a ritual, which brings Japanese culture to one of its highest expressions. 

Tea guests begin their tour by discussing the deep intercultural challenges with foreign intellectual and artistic traditions, considering phenomenology and Kyoto School philosophy as means for bridging Eastern and Western worlds. Throughout the journey, the astonishing elements of the ceremony provoke discussion on the aesthetics of landscape gardening, of stone, vegetation, and water, and their philosophical significance in Buddhism, Daoism and Shintoism. Once inside the hut, the profound beauty of tea is revealed through traditional aesthetic practices of calligraphy, poetry, architecture, flower arranging, and pottery. As the plenitude of philosophic and aesthetic experience culminates in the first sip of matcha, readers are transported by way of Buddhist ideas into the world of Japanese cinema, where all ideas about the ceremony dissolve into emptiness. 

 Featuring a conversational style, discussion questions, further readings, and meticulous illustrations, this book also provides a phenomenological reading of the tea ceremony, and offers new avenues for research and teaching in the field.

A literal and philosophical journey through the experiences of the tea ritual and its aesthetic motives, unwrapping both for the novice and the experienced scholar alike.

A Dialogue on Japanese Aesthetics

Phenomenology of Tea

Wo endet die künstlerische Freiheit? Wo beginnt die gesellschaftliche Verantwortung?Was dürfen Künstler:innen? Das ist eine Frage, die von jener, was Kunst ist und darf, unterschieden werden muss. Grundsätzlich ist Kunst ihrem Wesen nach frei und autonom. Sie breitet sich aus und transformiert sich von innen, nicht durch äußeren Zwang. Zugleich ist die Kunstgeschichte voll von politischen Vereinnahmungsversuchen. In einer Zeit, in der das freie Denken – das sich stets auch in der Vielfalt der Künste manifestiert – weltweit unter Beschuss ist, bedarf es einer Neubesinnung auf das Wesen der Kunst als auch einer Antwort auf die dringende Frage, wie sich die Kunst zu anderen, nichtästhetischen Normen verhält. Markus Gabriel entwickelt eine allgemein verständliche Theorie der Künste, die jene als radikal autonom voraussetzt ‒ ohne die moralische Verantwortung der Künstler:innen zu negieren. Ein philosophisch fundierter und gesellschaftspolitisch brisanter Beitrag zur Debatte über Freiheit, Verantwortung und Rolle der Kunst.

Die radikale Freiheit der Kunst

This fascinating book explores the numerous literary connections, themes, symbolism, and cultural and social references underlying The Silver Chair and The Horse and His Boy, the fourth and fifth books in C. S. Lewis's The Chronicles of Narnia series, following the same format of Paths in the Snow and Gold on the Horizon, Jem Bloomfield's popular explorations of the first three Narnia tales (both published under the DLT imprint). In Signs Among the Stones, Bloomfield considers the significance of the very different landscapes of The Silver Chair and The Horse and His Boy - subterranean caves and arid deserts, both a world away from the more familiar forests and castles of other Narnia tales - and explores what the books can tell us about Lewis's ideas on meaning, questing and storytelling.
