Neuware - 'Türkische' bzw. 'orientalische' Sujets gehörten im europäischen Theater des 17. und 18. Jahrhunderts zu den besonders häufig aufgegriffenen Themen. Was dieses 'Türkische' für das Theaterpublikum jener Zeit unmittelbar zur Anschauung brachte, waren die auf der Bühne getragenen Kostüme. Mit dem vorliegenden Band wird erstmals eine systematische Annäherung an das 'türkische' Bühnenkostüm unternommen. Anhand umfangreichen Bildmaterials aus mehr als zwei Jahrhunderten werden Kontinuitäten und Entwicklungen der Kostümierungspraxis nachgezeichnet, der die tatsächlich im Osmanischen Reich getragene Kleidung zwar stets als Orientierung diente, die aber doch hauptsächlich von Prozessen der Stereotypisierung und der Imagination bestimmt war.

Neuware - Filme über die Schoah und die Lager gehören zur pluralen Nachgeschichte der nationalsozialistischen Verbrechen. Katja S. Baumgärtner diskutiert in einem geschlechtersensiblen Close-Reading-Verfahren weitgehend unbekannte Filme über das KZ-Ravensbrück, die nach 1945 im internationalen Kontext entstanden sind.'Die exzellente Studie ist ein Gewinn für das gut besetzte Forschungsfeld zu Ravensbrück, das seit 1993 mit zahlreichen Themen besät wurde. Dabei lag das Medium Film bislang völlig brach. Nun hat sich diese Brache, um in der agraren Terminologie zu bleiben, in einen fruchtbaren Boden bzw. auch in eine blühende Landschaft verwandelt.'Prof. Dr. Sigrid Jacobeit, 1992-2005 Leiterin der Mahn- und Gedenkstätte Ravensbrück.'Das Buch bietet ein vorbildliches Kompendium an Ravensbrück-Filmen und schließt damit eine große Forschungslücke. Die Autorin leitet den Blick auf Aspekte der Holocaust-, Film- und Geschlechterforschung, die bisher unberücksichtigt blieben, und ermöglicht in der Zusammenführung Vergleiche zwischen den Memorialkulturen verschiedener Regionen, Epochen und Medien.'Prof. Dr. Christina von Braun, Selma Stern Zentrum für Jüdische Studien Berlin- Brandenburg.

Spiral into a dimly lit world, down streets lined with madmen and their black deeds, through the cold twists of the catacombs, and into rooms where secrets dwell. From the tortured mind of Edgar Allan Poe, these three tales, "The Black Cat," "The Fall of the House of Usher," and "The Cask of Amontillado," speak to the hidden places inside us all.Capturing the mist and shadows rising from the stories are illustrations by prominent artist Gary Kelley. Angular and dark, his work heightens the Gothic terror that is Poe's trademark and creates windows into Poe's world.

This gorgeous anthology features 29 of Edgar Allan Poe's tales of the fantastic and the macabre. It combines some of his most popular stories — including "The Fall of the House of Usher" and "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" — with lesser-known gems.

Girt in with interminable forests, the space of which was completely filled up with umbrageous vines and a thick underwood, the trial was one of no little peril, and called for the exercise of stout heart, strong hand, and a world of fortitude and patience. It was also the abidingplace of the wild boar and the panther--the southern crocodile howled nightly in its recesses--and the coiled snake, ever and anon, thrust out its venomous fangs from the verdant bush. With w ords of cheer and mutual encouragement, the young hunters made their way. They were well armed and prepared for all chances; and fondly did they anticipate the delight which they would entertain, on relating their numerous adventures and achievements, by field and flood, to the assembled nation, on the return of the ensuing spring. They took with them no unnecessary incumbrances. The well tempered bow, the chosen and barbed arrows, the curved knife, suited to a transition the most abrupt, from the scalping of the enemy to the carving of the repast, and the hatchet, fitted to the adroit hand of the hunter, and ready at his back for all emergencies, were the principal accoutrements of the warriors. They troubled themselves not much about provisions. A little parched corn supplied all wants, and the dried venison in their pouches was a luxury, taken on occasion only.
