Love in a Time of Slaughters examines a diverse array of contemporary creative narratives in which genocide and extinction blur species lines in order to show how such stories can promote the preservation of biological and cultural diversity in a time of man-made threats to species survival. From indigenous novels and Japanese anime to art installations and truth commission reports, Susan McHugh analyzes source material from a variety of regions and cultures to highlight cases where traditional knowledge works in tandem with modern ways of thinking about human-animal relations. In contrast to success stories of such relationships, the narratives McHugh highlights show the vulnerabilities of affective bonds as well as the kinds of loss shared when interspecific relationships are annihilated. In this thoughtful critique, McHugh explores the potential of these narratives to become a more powerful, urgent strategy of resistance to the forces that work to dehumanize people, eradicate animals, and threaten biodiversity. As we unevenly contribute to the sixth great extinction, this timely, compelling study sheds light on what constitutes an effective response from a humanities-focused, interdisciplinary perspective. McHugh’s work will appeal to scholars working at the crossroads of human-animal studies, literature, and visual culture, as well as artists and activists who are interested in the intersections of animal politics with genocide and indigeneity.

"A special double issue of Publications of the English Goethe Society to celebrate the 70th birthday of Professor Martin Swales (UCL, UK) This volume collects papers from a conference held at the Institute of Germanic and Romance Studies in October 2010. The conference aimed to analyse how literary texts articulate (and give voice to) ideas and ideologies. In contrast to most philosophy, literature rarely makes claims to systematic conceptual rigour. Literary statements are always conjectural; they are also conditioned by the conventions of the genre in which they are made. Because literature is such a hypothetical medium of expression, it is uniquely suited to philosophical experimentation. Indeed, because literature invokes imagined or remembered experience, it functions as a laboratory in which ideas may be tested against experience. Literature's formal qualities, which allow for statement and counter-statement, move and counter-move, make it a highly sophisticated mode of discourse in which to test out ideas. Concepts can be played against each other, and genre conventions may be adhered to or subverted, in order to create multiple layers of signification. The papers presented are published here in this special issue of Publications of the English Goethe Society, and take account of German (or European) poetry, drama or prose literature from 1750 to the present day."

Interdisciplinary views of the debates over and transformation of German cultural identity since unification. The events of 1989 and German unification were seismic historical moments. Although 1989 appeared to signify a healing of the war-torn history of the twentieth century, unification posed the question of German cultural identity afresh. Politicians, historians, writers, filmmakers, architects, and the wider public engaged in "memory contests" over such questions as the legitimacy of alternative biographies, West German hegemony, and the normalization of German history. This dynamic, contested, and still ongoing transformation of German cultural identity is the topic of this volume of new essays by scholars from the United Kingdom, Germany, the United States, and Ireland. It exploresGerman cultural identity by way of a range of disciplines including history, film studies, architectural history, literary criticism, memory studies, and anthropology, avoiding a homogenized interpretation. Charting the complex and often contradictory processes of cultural identity formation, the volume reveals the varied responses that continue to accompany the project of unification. Contributors: Pertti Ahonen, Aleida Assmann, Elizabeth Boa, Peter Fritzsche, Anne Fuchs, Deniz Göktürk, Kathleen James-Chakraborty, Anja K. Johannsen, Jennifer A. Jordan, Jürgen Paul, Linda Shortt, Andrew J. Webber. Anne Fuchs is Professor of German Literature at the University of St.Andrews, Scotland. Kathleen James-Chakraborty is Professor of Art History at University College Dublin, Ireland. Linda Shortt is Lecturer in German at Bangor University, Wales.

Wer ist Kaltenburg? Ein Ornithologe und Verhaltensforscher, der nach dem Krieg in Dresden ein Forschungsinstitut aufbaut. Ein Exzentriker, der den Dienstwagen samt Stasi-Chauffeur stehen lässt und Motorrad fährt. Für Hermann Funk, der seine Eltern in der Dresdner Bombennacht verlor, wird er zum Ziehvater. Als alter Mann erinnert sich Funk: an die Gründung des Institutes und der DDR, an Kaltenburgs plötzliches Verschwinden nach dem Mauerbau, an ein möglicherweise dunkles Kapitel in dessen Vergangenheit. Vor dem Hintergrund von einem halben Jahrhundert DDR-Geschichte erzählt Marcel Beyer in seinem hochgelobten Roman meisterlich von menschlichen Lebensläufen. Joseph-Breitbach-Preis 2008

Die Stimme Marcel Beyers zählt zu den wichtigsten in der deutschsprachigen Gegenwartsliteratur. Der Band unternimmt erstmals eine systematische Auseinandersetzung mit diesem ebenso ergiebigen wie qualitativ herausragenden Œuvre. Ausgewiesene Expertinnen und Experten widmen sich in vierzehn Einzelbeiträgen Beyers Lyrik und seinen Romanen, rücken bisher eher vernachlässigte Textgruppen (Essays, Libretti) in den Blick und diskutieren Beyers Poetik sowie die Rezeption seiner Texte. Damit ist der Band gleichermaßen als Einführung in das Werk Marcel Beyers wie für die vertiefende Auseinandersetzung mit einzelnen seiner Texte geeignet. Er ermöglicht einen Werküberblick, stellt gattungsübergreifend zentrale Themen sowie literarische Verfahren vor und setzt gleichzeitig neue Forschungsimpulse. Abgerundet wird der Band durch einen Originaltext Beyers sowie ein ausführliches Werkstattgespräch.
