    Planning is not a technical and value free activity. Planning is an overt political system that creates both winners and losers. The Planning Polity is a book that considers the politics of development and decision-making, and political conflicts between agencies and institutions within British town and country planning. The focus of assessment is how British planning has been formulated since the early 1990s, and provides an in-depth and revealing assessment of both the Major and Blair governments' terms of office. The book will prove to be an invaluable guide to the British planning system today and the political demands on it. Students and activists within urban and regional studies, planning, political science and government, environmental studies, urban and rural geography, development, surveying and planning, will all find the book to be an essential companion to their work.

  3. Performative Histories, Foundational Fictions: Gender and Sexuality in Niskavuori Films

    "Films are integral to national imagination. Promotional publicity markets “domestic films” not only as entertaining, exciting, or moving, but also as topical and relevant in different ways. Reviewers assess new films with reference to other films and cultural products as well as social and political issues. Through such interpretive framings by contemporaries and later generations, popular cinema is embedded both in national imagination and endless intertextual and intermedial frameworks. Moreover, films themselves become signs to be cited and recycled as illustrations of cultural, social, and political history as well as national mentality. In the age of television, “old films” continue to live as history and memory. In Performative Histories, Foundational Fictions, Anu Koivunen analyzes the historicity as well as the intertextuality and intermediality of film reception by focusing on a cycle of Finnish family melodrama and its key role in thinking about gender, sexuality, nation, and history. Close-reading posters, advertisements, publicity-stills, trailers, review journalism, and critical commentary, she demonstrates how The Women of Niskavuori (1938 and

    1958), Loviisa (1946), Heta Niskavuori (1952), Aarne Niskavuori (1954), Niskavuori Fights (1957), and Niskavuori (1984) have operated as sites for imagining “our agrarian past”, our Heimat and heritage as well as “the strong Finnish woman” or “the weak man in crisis”. Based on extensive empirical research, Koivunen argues that the Niskavuori films have mobilized readings in terms of history and memory, feminist nationalism and men’s movement, left-wing allegories and right-wing morality as well as realism and melodrama. Through processes of citation, repetition, and re-cycling the films have acquired not only a heterogeneous and contradictory interpretive legacy, but also an affective force."

    "Six articles in Changing scenes represent the ongoing reassessment of fin de siècle literature in Finnish research. The period was seen in earlier research as something of a national renaissance or golden age and interpreted in the light of its national symbols and meanings. Only recently has more attention been paid to its international dimensions and its role in the modernisation of Finnish culture. In particular the spotlight has been trained on the reflection in Finnish literature of manifestations of the degeneration thinking so common in Europe at that time. Research has also picked out works and writers that featured less in earlier studies. One modernist Finnish poet, Neustadt Prize-winning Paavo Haavikko, is also examined in an article representing the latest Finnish research in this field.

  6. Ein Meisterwerk im Zwielicht : Ivan Bunins narrative Kurzprosaverknuepfung "Temnye allei" zwischen Akzeptanz und Ablehnung – eine Genrestudie

    Ivan Bunin's high opinion of his narrative "Temnye allei" (Paris, 1946) was rarely shared. In the field of view of the readers was too often the erotic topic - the criticism affected an unbiased reception of the book, whose coherence was only occasionally perceived. Abridged editions reinforced this effect in the episode. The study considers the "Temnye allei" for the first time in the interaction of external conditions and artistic intention, taking into account all simultaneously created, partly unpublished tales. The focus is on determining the genre of the book on the basis of extra and intratextlichen links such as structure, style and the central themes of love, death and memory. While a glance at the eventful history of its origins allows conclusions to be drawn about the book's intended construction, the critical examination of the history of editions and receptions illuminates the most diverse problems of acceptance in the perception of the book as a short prose link - and as Bunin's masterpiece. Ivan Bunins hohe Meinung von seinem Erzählband "Temnye allei" (Paris, 1946) wurde nur selten geteilt. Im Blickfeld der Leser stand allzu häufig die erotische Thematik - die diesbezügliche Kritik beeinträchtigte eine unvoreingenommene Rezeption des Buches, dessen Kohärenz nur vereinzelt wahrgenommen wurde. Gekürzte Editionen verstärkten in der Folge diesen Effekt. Die Studie betrachtet die "Temnye allei" erstmals im Wirkungsgeflecht äußerer Bedingungen und künstlerischer Intention, unter Berücksichtigung aller zeitgleich entstandenen, teilweise bis heute unveröffentlichten Erzählungen. Im Mittelpunkt steht die Bestimmung der Genrezugehörigkeit des Buches auf Basis der extra- und intratextlichen Verknüpfungen wie Struktur, Stil und der zentralen Themenkreise Liebe, Tod und Erinnerung. Während ein Blick auf die bewegte Entstehungsgeschichte Rückschlüsse auf die geplante Anlage des Buches erlaubt, erhellt die kritische Auseinandersetzung mit der Editions- und Rezeptionsgeschichte die unterschiedlichsten Akzeptanzprobleme bei der Wahrnehmung des Buches als Kurzprosaverknüpfung - und als Meisterwerk Bunins.

    Von »Ereignis« und »Ereignissen« ist überall dort die Rede, wo über das Einmalige, Neue, noch nicht Dagewesene gesprochen werden soll, über eine Revolution, einen Epochenbruch, eine Erfindung, eine unvorhergesehene Wendung. Das Wort kann als Synonym der Aporien begriffen werden, denen das Nachdenken über die Zeit heute ausgesetzt ist. Zugleich stellt die Rede vom Ereignis heute eines der mächtigsten Ideologeme der Kultur- und Medienindustrie dar. Spätestens seit dem 11. September 2001 taucht der Begriff »Ereignis« häufig in der politischen Rhetorik auf. Grund genug also, zu fragen, was es mit dem »Ereignis« als Wort, Begriff, Kategorie, Anspruch und Versprechen auf sich hat. Der Band versammelt die Beiträge einer viel beachteten internationalen Konferenz des Graduiertenkollegs »Zeiterfahrung und ästhetische Wahrnehmung« an der Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Universität, Frankfurt/Main.

    Mikrologien - das sind die Kleinigkeiten, die kleinen Dinge. Sie erscheinen oft als unbedeutend, niedlich, dem Übersehen preisgegeben. Aber erschöpft sich ihr Logos in dieser (scheinbaren) Schwäche? Die vorliegenden Aufsätze entdecken andere Potenziale des Kleinen. In Literatur und Philosophie wird das Grundlegende, das Störende, das Dichte, die fantastische Welthaltigkeit aufgespürt. Die Autoren stecken an exemplarischen Gegenständen einen historischen Raum vom 17. bis zum 21. Jahrhundert ab und erkunden das Kleine als motivische, formale, epistemische und poetologische Instanz. Die mikrologische Recherche zeigt, dass die keimhafte, monadische und atomistische Relation zum Großen und Ganzen die literarische und philosophische Einbildungskraft enorm provoziert hat. Der Band behandelt u.a. Arbeiten von Walter Benjamin, Adalbert Stifter, Samuel Beckett, Franz Kafka, Heinrich von Kleist und Virginia Woolf.

    This title is the first ever book-length study of the cinematic representation of Paris in the films of German emigré filmmakers, who found there a first refuge from Hitler. In coming to Paris - the privileged site in terms of production, exhibition as well as the cinematic imaginary of French film culture - these experienced film professionals encountered also a darker side: hostility toward Germans, anti-Semitism, as well as boycotts from French industry personnel, afraid of losing their jobs to foreigners. The book juxtaposes the cinematic portrayal of Paris in the films of Robert Siodmak, Billy Wilder, Fritz Lang, Max Ophüls, Anatol Litvak and others with the wider social and cultural debates about the city in the cinema. City of Darkness, City of Light is de eerste monografie over de representatie van Parijs in de films van uitgeweken Duitse filmmakers die tijdens Hitlers bewind hun toevlucht zochten in de 'Lichtstad'. Met hun komst naar Parijs - de plaats bij uitstek voor de productie, vertoning en de verbeelding van de Franse filmcultuur - leerden deze ervaren filmprofessionals ook de keerzijde van de stad kennen: een vijandige houding jegens Duitsers, anti-semitisme en boycots van Fransen die werkzaam waren in de filmindustrie en bang waren hun baan te verliezen aan de buitenlanders. City of Darkness, City of Light vergelijkt de cinematografische verbeelding van Parijs in de films van Robert Siodmak, Billy Wilder, Fritz Lang, Max Ophüls, Anatol Litvak en vele anderen met de bredere sociale en culturele debatten over de stad in de cinema.

  10. Art in Progress : A Philosophical Response to the End of the Avant-Garde

    In this challenging and erudite philosophical essay, the author argues that in art, belief in progress is still relevant, if not essential. The radical freedoms of postmodernism have had a crippling effect on art - more than ever before, art is in danger of becoming meaningless. Art can only acquire meaning through context, and the concept of progress is ideal as the primary criterion for establishing that context. History of art can be seen as a process of constant accumulation. Works of art comment on each other, enriching each other's meanings. These complex interrelationships lead to progress in both the sensibility of the observer and the significance of the works of art. Alles in de kunst is in beweging. Tegelijkertijd lijkt met het eind van de avantgarde de grote stilstand te zijn ingetreden. Het veelbesproken einde van de kunst en het postmodernisme roepen veel twijfels op. In dit helder geschreven betoog onderzoekt de auteur een begrip dat door de tot cliche geworden afschaffing van de Grote Verhalen onzichtbaar is geworden: het vooruitgangsidee. Hij laat zien hoe dat idee in de achttiende eeuw opkomt, allesbepalend is tijdens de avantgarde en met het eind van de avantgarde ten onder gaat. Maarten Doorman pleit voor een kritische herwaardering van vooruitgangsbegrippen om de als zorgeloosheid vermomde vrijblijvendheid van het postmodernisme het hoofd te bieden. Arthur Danto: The end of art does not entail that there has not been genuine progress in the philosophy of art. Maarten Doorman's challenging and valuable study contributes to that progress, whether or not progress in art itself remains, as he argues, a tenable idea.

  11. Divine Comedies for the New Millennium : Recent Dante Translations in America and the Netherlands

    Dante's intranslatability paradoxically causes a steady flux of translations, overwhelming in America, much more modest in the Netherlands. However, the tiny Netherlands witnessed a remarkable boom of Dante translations around the year 2000: within a short period seven cantiche were translated by Dutchmen and seven by Americans. This historic moment gave rise to a seminar about these recent translations, and about the traditions of translating Dante in both nations. The American and Dutch Divine Comedies discussed in this volume are important landmarks in a long tradition of making Dante's work accessible to non-Italian readers in both countries. On this already crowded stage, however, every newcomer inevitably makes statements about how Dante's masterpiece should be read: as a poem, as a scholarly text or as a scholarly poem? The old polarization between the fearless (at times reckless) 'poetical' translators and the more cautious 'academic' translators is very much alive, and the choice seems one between compromise and confrontation, between caution and courage. Dantes onvertaalbaarheid leidt vreemd genoeg tot een doorlopende stroom van vertalingen - overweldigend veel in de Verenigde Staten en een bescheiden aantal in Nederland. Maar rond het jaar 2000 nam ook het aantal Dante-vertalingen in Nederland plotseling een hoge vlucht: binnen een korte tijd werden zeven cantiches vertaald door Nederlanders, en nog eens zeven door Amerikanen. Dit historische moment gaf aanleiding voor een seminar over deze recente vertalingen en over de traditie van Dante-vertalingen in beide landen. De Amerikaanse en Nederlandse Goddelijke Komedies die in dit boek worden besproken zijn belangrijke ijkpunten in de lange traditie van Dante-vertalingen voor een publiek dat geen Italiaans leest. Op dit toch al drukke' podium brengt elke nieuwkomer standpunten naar voren over de manier waarop Dantes meesterwerk in zijn of haar ogen gelezen dient te worden: als een gedicht, als een wetenschappelijke tekst of als een wetenschappelijk gedicht? De oude tegenstelling tussen dappere (soms roekeloze) 'poëtische' vertalers en de meer voorzichtere 'academische' vertalers is nog nadrukkelijk aanwezig, en een keuze lijkt er een van compromis en confrontatie, tussen voorzichtigheid en moed.

    Among the channels of human expression, perhaps the richest of all is music, through which people can express their emotions – in a continuum ranging from joy to grief, from excitement to depression – in a manner that is socially and culturally accessible and acceptable. This book addresses the aspects involved in both producing and listening to music from the point of view of cognitive science. Arguments that might appear hard for non-specialists to understand are addressed in a clear and accessible language. An enthralling itinerary through the various aspects of the human relationship with music that underscores how the long path from the first sounds that man has produced and identified in nature through to the most modern compositions are the result of a process of rationalisation gravitating around the multiform relationship between man, the environment and musical creation. Fra i canali d'espressione dell'uomo il più ricco è forse la musica, che permette di esprimere le proprie emozioni – in un continuum che va dalla gioia al dolore, dalla esaltazione alla depressione – in modi socialmente e culturalmente accessibili e accettabili. Il volume affronta, dal punto di vista della scienza cognitiva, gli aspetti coinvolti sia nel produrre che ascoltare musica. Questi argomenti, che possono sembrare di non facile comprensione ai non specialisti, sono affrontati con un linguaggio chiaro e accessibile. Viene così costruito un appassionante percorso su alcuni aspetti del rapporto dell'uomo con la musica, che evidenzia come il lungo cammino dai primi suoni che l'uomo ha prodotto e individuato nella natura sino alle composizioni più moderne sia il risultato di un processo di razionalizzazione che ha visto al centro il multiforme rapporto fra uomo, ambiente e creazione musicale.

    This is a penetrative and perceptive comparison of two of the most discussed novels of the twentieth century. Beginning with Camus' own appraisal of Kafka's work, the study convincingly analyzes the authors' fictive creations. Rhein is particularly intrigued by the function of time in the two authors' works, as well as their use of irony and the existentialist themes evident in their characters' pursuits. Through this exploration of theme and narrative devices, the author reveals these works as a reflection of the intellectual climate of twentieth century Europe.

    The oldest medieval beast epic was translated literally into English prose for the first time in this volume, with Latin on facing pages. The introduction and commentary by Zeydel familiarize the reader with the history and value of the text and constituted a new approach, arguing for the inclusion of Latin literature composed in what is now Germany in the history of German literature.

    This book offers a startling re-evaluation of what has until now been seen as the most critically lacklustre period of the British cinema. Twenty writers contribute essays that rediscover and reassess the productions of the Festival of Britain decade, during which the vitality of wartime film-making flowed into new forms. Topics covered include genres such as the B-film, the war film, the woman's picture, the theatrical adaptation and comedy; also social issues such as censorship and the screen representation of childhood. The book includes fresh assessments of maverick directors such as Pat Jackson, Robert Hamer and Joseph Losey, and even of a maverick critic, Raymond Durgnat. There are also three personal views from people individually implicated in 1950s cinema: Corin Redgrave on Michael Redgrave, Isabel Quigly on film reviewing, and Bryony Dixon of the British Film Institute on film archiving and preservation. In its evocation and coverage of a fascinating time when the national cinema enjoyed an unprecedented popularity amongst home audiences, this volume offers the most exhilarating survey yet of 1950s British film. In its provocative challenge to conventional wisdom about this decade's movies, the book will prove indispensable to students of the cinema at all levels and a stimulating companion for the critic and the historian.

    In this 1954 study of poetic realism and the "Novelle" form, Silz examines nine "Novellen" by Brentano, Arnim, Droste-Hülshoff, Stifter, Grillsparzer, Keller, Meyer, Storm and Hauptmann. Through his textual interpretation of each of these works Silz draws the threads of the transition from Romanticism to Naturalism as well as the development of the "Novelle" form.

    Theater ist Körperkunst. Diese Aussage steht im Zentrum von Meike Wagners Studie »Nähte am Puppenkörper«. Die Autorin verschreibt sich jedoch keinem Abgrenzungsdiskurs zwischen einem 'präsenten', also unmittelbar erlebbaren Theaterkörper und einem (filmischen) Medienkörper, sondern erarbeitet durch den Bezug auf die konstruierten, verstörenden Kunstkörper des zeitgenössischen Figurentheaters eine medienphilosophische Perspektive, die postmoderne Körpertheorien und phänomenologische Ansätze verbindet. Damit leistet sie einen wichtigen Beitrag zur fortschreitenden Umorientierung der Theaterwissenschaft von binnenästhetischen Analysen zu einer Kulturwissenschaft, welche den »bodily turn« und den Diskurs um die »neuen Medien« in ihre Fragestellungen aufnimmt.

    Annette Michelson's contribution to art and film criticism over the last three decades is unparalleled. This volume honors Michelson's unique legacy with original essays by some of the many scolars that have been influenced by her work. Some continue her efforts to develop theoretical frameworks for understanding modernist art, while others practice her form of interdisciplinary crtiticism in relation to avant-garde and modernist art works and artists. Still others investigate and evaluate Michelson's work itself. All in some way pay homage to het extraordinary contribution and demonstrate its continued centrality to the field of art and film criticism. De bijdrage aan de kunst- en filmkritiekdie Annette Michelson afgelopen drie decennia heeft geleverd, is ongeëvenaard. In dit boek wordt door filmcritici die door haar werk zijn beïnvloed de erfenis van Michelson besproken . Duidelijk wordt dat sommigen haar inspanningen voortzetten om een theoretisch kader te vormen om modernistische kunst te begrijpen, terwijl anderen haar vorm van interdisciplinaire kritiek met betrekking tot de avant-gardistische en modernistische kunstwerken en kunstenaars verder ontwikkelen. Iedereen brengt, in losse essays, op de één of andere manier hulde aan de buitengewone bijdrage die Michelson heeft geleverd en toont aan dat de door haar ontwikkelde kennis nog steeds actueel is.

    Considered the earliest courtly romance in Germany, "Ruodlieb" is an invaluable document of eleventh century European society and a fascinating link in the development of the novel of chivalry. This edition by Edwin H. Zeydel (first published in 1959) with Latin text and the first English translation on facing pages is based upon painstaking study of the manuscripts, with many fragmentary lines completed and 450 corrections of Langosch's text. Zeydel's introduction to the history of the text and appendices with literary commentary and textual notes make this the first critical edition of "Ruodlieb" utilizing the manuscript to appear since Seiler's work in 1882.

    Examining the relationship between German poetry, philosophy, and visual media around 1900, Carsten Strathausen argues that the poetic works of Rainer Maria Rilke, Hugo von Hofmannsthal, and Stefan George focused on the visible gestalt of language as a means of competing aesthetically with the increasing popularity and "reality effect" of photography and film. Poetry around 1900 self-reflectively celebrated its own words as both transparent signs and material objects, Strathausen says. In Aestheticism, this means that language harbors the potential to literally present the things it signifies. Rather than simply describing or picturing the physical experience of looking, as critics have commonly maintained, modernist poetry claims to enable a more profound kind of perception that grants intuitive insights into the very texture of the natural world.

    Hans Werner Henze und Ingeborg Bachmann verband über Jahre eine enge und produktive Künstlerfreundschaft. Im Blick auf die sechs zwischen 1953 und 1965 entstandenen gemeinsamen Arbeiten fällt der permanente Wechsel des Genres ins Auge, der für jedes Werk neue und andersartige Interdependenzen von Musik und Sprache (und Szene) hervorbringt. Der Text führt dieses Interesse für komplexe mediale Strukturen auf ästhetische Konzepte zurück, die Bachmann und Henze um 1960 in enger Zusammenarbeit entwickeln und dabei im Kern eine Intermedial-Ästhetik formulieren. Mit Lacan gelesen, geben diese Konzepte den ausführlichen Analysen der sechs Werke eine gemeinsame, medientheoretisch profilierte Perspektive.

    Pierre Bourdieu (1930-2002) war einer der produktivsten zeitgenössischen Denker der Soziologie. Seine internationale Anerkennung beschränkt sich jedoch nicht allein auf den Bereich der Wissenschaft: Als weltweit engagierter Intellektueller hat Bourdieu - wie wohl kein anderer - soziologische Erkenntnis als politische Aufklärung der Alltagspraxis wirksam gemacht. Zentrale Begriffe der Soziologie Bourdieus wie etwa »Habitus«, »Kapital« oder »Feld« werden heute in einer Vielzahl von sozial- und kulturwissenschaftlichen Untersuchungen verwendet. Was aber hält diese Begriffe zusammen? Welche immanente Logik führt zu ihren Bedeutungen? Und wie werden diese miteinander verknüpft? Kurz: Worin liegen die erkenntnistheoretischen Voraussetzungen von Bourdieus Werk? Die vorliegende »Einführung in eine Soziologie des Unterschieds« versteht sich als Versuch, Bourdieu unter dieser Fragestellung zu lesen. Sie sieht im Begriff des »Unterschieds« das Grundprinzip seiner Erkenntnistheorie, in der »Unterschied« als Machtbeziehung konzipiert wird.

    Die »Freiheit der Wahl« stellt sich nicht nur alle vier Jahre. Ob Brot, Kleidung oder Website - wir haben sie täglich. Gemeinhin wird damit eine »Freiheit der Entscheidung« bezeichnet - uneingeschränkte Bevorzugung des einen vor dem anderen. Dies gilt nur vordergründig, da jede Wahl sich notwendig auf eine Unterscheidung stützt: Nur was zuvor Bedeutung gewinnt (als wählbar erscheint), kann nachträglich als Wahlversprechen gelten. Wie nicht zuletzt der Beitrag von Niklas Luhmann verdeutlicht, ist hier ein Paradox am Werk: Die »Freiheit der Wahl« braucht eine Einschränkung - und erhält damit Selektionscharakter. Sie beinhaltet ein (Aus-)Gewähltes und ein Aussortiertes; eine Kehrseite des Prozesses, der für sich eine Freiheit beansprucht. Da diese Differenz nicht auf die Objektseite (das Gewählte) reduzierbar ist, sondern den Zugriff selbst (mit-)bestimmt, ist der synonyme Gebrauch von »Freiheit« und »Wahl« zu problematisieren. Dies versucht der Band in struktureller Standortbestimmung sowie spezifisch für die Felder Kunst, Literatur und Medien zu leisten.

    Der Körper ist als elementares Medium der Komik in der Geschichte des Theaters, der Literatur und des Films bis heute präsent. Eine minimalistische Grimasse, ein polternder Salto oder eine schiefe Perücke können jene abrupte Sinnverdrehung bewirken, die einen komischen Effekt erzeugt. Das breite Repertoire der körperlichen Komik und ihrer Accessoires wird hier in Stichworteinträgen eingefangen: Die Themen schlagen einen Bogen vom Schwank des Mittelalters über den Schelmenroman bis zu Totò und Valère Novarina, und exemplarische Figuren wie der gefräßige Diener, typische Szenen wie das Verprügeln des Bauern und tradierte Formen der Komik wie die Farce werden in diesem geistreichen Konvolut kurzweilig präsentiert.
