    ger: Die Dissertation Topographies of Cruelty: Radical Performances in South African and British Theatre kartiert physische, soziale, politische, ästhetische und psychologische Räume der Grausamkeit im zeitgenössischen anglophonen Drama. Durch die Untersuchung von literarischen und performativen Ausdrucksmitteln von am Körper, über die Sprache und in der Imagination ausgetragener Grausamkeit, leistet die Dissertation einen wichtigen Beitrag zu den Literaturwissenschaften und Kulturwissenschaften, sowie zu globalen Diskursen über (strukturelle) Gewalt, Krise, Unterdrückung, sowie zur Bedeutung von Kunst und Empathie. Zudem verfolgt die Arbeit einen dekolonialen, feministischen Anspruch. Die ausgewählten Stücke üben eine bedeutende kulturelle, soziale und psychologische Wirkung aus, da die Darstellung von Grausamkeit auf der Bühne zur Aufarbeitung individueller und kollektiver Traumata sowie zur Sichtbarmachung von Gewalt in der Gesellschaft beiträgt. Die in dieser Dissertation behandelten Stücke zeichnen sich durch eine inhaltliche und ästhetische Radikalität in ihrer Auseinandersetzung mit Gewalt, Trauma und Schmerz aus, insbesondere durch die Konfrontation mit und Performance von real erlebten und existierenden Akten der Grausamkeit. Die Stücke Cleansed (1998) von Sarah Kane, The Hothouse (1980) von Harold Pinter und The Pillowman (2003) von Martin McDonagh verhandeln physische und psychologische Grausamkeit, sowie verbale und imaginierte Gewalt. Die Trilogie von Yaël Farber, A Woman in Waiting (1999), Amajuba: Like Doves We Rise (2000), und He Left Quietly (2002), sowie Tshepang: The Third Testament (2005) von Lara Foot thematisieren den Ausnahmezustand als Alltäglichkeit, die Existenz in unendlicher Krise. #JustMen (2018), eine Workshop-Performance, sowie Mojisola Adebayos performativer Beitrag zur Black Lives Matter-Bewegung The Interrogation of Sandra Bland (2017), sind aktivistische Werke gegen geschlechtsspezifische Gewalt und Rassismus. eng: The dissertation Topographies of Cruelty: Radical Performances in South African and British Theatre, maps physical, social, political, aesthetic, and psychological landscapes of cruelty performed on the body, in the imaginary, in language, in performers, and on the stages through radical theatre performances. By identifying and locating the forms, features, and functions of cruelty employed in the selected plays, this dissertation aims to provide a valuable contribution to the field of literary and cultural studies and to discourses on global violence, crisis, and oppression, the power of literature, and the human capacity for kindness in the face of terror. It also attempts to investigate forms of cruelty in South African and in British theatre on equal terms, thereby countering the hegemonic Eurocentric bias by taking a decolonial, feminist stance. The radical performances investigated in this doctoral thesis render extreme acts of cruelty and confront their readers and audiences, as witnesses, with actually exercised or experienced pain and violence. Sarah Kane’s Cleansed (1998), Harold Pinter’s The Hothouse (1980) and Martin McDonagh’s The Pillowman (2003) deal with psychological cruelty, verbal cruelty, and cruelty in the imagination. Yaël Farber’s A Woman in Waiting (1999), Amajuba: Like Doves We Rise (2000), and He Left Quietly (2002), as well as Lara Foot’s Tshepang: The Third Testament (2005), in turn, negotiate extraordinary and ordinary acts of cruelty as well as life-in-crisis on stage as a conscious mode of giving testimony to committed atrocities and inflicted trauma in recent South African history. The performances #JustMen (2018), a South African workshop play against gender-based violence, and Mojisola Adebayo’s The Interrogation of Sandra Bland (2017), a theatrical response to the Black Lives Matter movement, are both collective activist pieces advocating for social and political change.

    The Oxford History of Life-Writing: Volume 1: The Middle Ages explores the richness and variety of life-writing from late Antiquity to the threshold of the Renaissance. During the Middle Ages, writers from Bede to Chaucer were thinking about life and experimenting with ways to translate lives, their own and others', into literature. Their subjects included career religious, saints, celebrities, visionaries, pilgrims, princes, philosophers, poets, and even afew 'ordinary people.' They relay life stories not only in chronological narratives, but also in debates, dialogues, visions, and letters. Many medieval biographers relied on the reader's trust in their authority, but some espoused standards of evidence that seem distinctly modern, drawing on reliable writtensources, interviewing eyewitnesses, and cross-checking their facts wherever possible. Others still professed allegiance to evidence but nonetheless freely embellished and invented not only events and dialogue but the sources to support them.The first book devoted to life-writing in medieval England, The Oxford History of Life-Writing: Volume 1: The Middle Ages covers major life stories in Old and Middle English, Latin, and French, along with such Continental classics as the letters of Abelard and Heloise and the autobiographical Vision of Christine de Pizan. In addition to the life stories of historical figures, it treats accounts of fictional heroes, from Beowulf to King Arthur to Queen Katherine of Alexandria, whichshow medieval authors experimenting with, adapting, and expanding the conventions of life writing. Though Medieval life writings can be challenging to read, we encounter in them the antecedents of many of our own diverse biographical forms-tabloid lives, literary lives, brief lives, revisionist lives; lives ofpolitical figures, memoirs, fictional lives, and psychologically-oriented accounts that register the inner lives of their subjects.

    The Oxford History of Life-Writing: Volume2. Early Modern explores life-writing in England between 1500 and 1700, and argues that this was a period which saw remarkable innovations in biography, autobiography, and diary-keeping that laid the foundations for our modern life-writing.The challenges wrought by the upheavals and the sixteenth-century English Reformation and seventeenth-century Civil Wars moulded British and early American life-writing in unique and lasting ways. While classical and medieval models continued to exercise considerable influence, new forms began to challenge them. The English Reformation banished the saints' lives that dominated the writings of medieval Catholicism, only to replace them with new lives of Protestant martyrs. Novel forms ofself-accounting came into existence: from the daily moral self-accounting dictated by strands of Calvinism, to the daily financial self-accounting modelled on the new double-entry book-keeping. This volume shows how the most ostensibly private journals were circulated to build godly communities; how womenfound new modes of recording and understanding their disrupted lives; how men started to compartmentalize their lives for public and private consumption. The volume doesn't intend to present a strict chronological progression from the medieval to the modern, nor to suggest the triumphant rise of the fact-based historical biography. Instead, it portrays early modern England as a site of multiple, sometimes conflicting possibilities for life-writing, all of which have something to teach us abouthow the period understood both the concept of a 'life' and what it mean to 'write' a life.

    Ideas, culture, and capital flow across national borders with unprecedented speed, but we tend not to think of poems as taking part in globalization. Jahan Ramazani shows that poetry has much to contribute to understanding literature in an extra-national frame. Indeed, the globality of poetry, he argues, stands to energize the transnational turn in the humanities. Poetry in a Global Age builds on Ramazani’s award-winning A Transnational Poetics, a book that had a catalytic effect on literary studies. Ramazani broadens his lens to discuss modern and contemporary poems not only in relation to world literature, war, and questions of orientalism but also in light of current debates over ecocriticism, translation studies, tourism, and cultural geography. He offers brilliant readings of postcolonial poets like Agha Shahid Ali, Lorna Goodison, and Daljit Nagra, as well as canonical modernists such as W. B. Yeats, Wallace Stevens, T. S. Eliot, and Marianne Moore. Ramazani shows that even when poetry seems locally rooted, its long memory of forms and words, its connections across centuries, continents, and languages, make it a powerful imaginative resource for a global age. This book makes a strong case for poetry in the future development of world literature and global studies.
