Musil, diskursweise : Wirklich mögliche Kontexte zum Mann ohne Eigenschaften /
:
Robert Musil ist "Diskurs-weise": Er hat seine Diskurse im (literarischen) Griff. Folglich verspricht nur eine diesem Weisheitsmodus entsprechende Annäherung an sein Werk einen gewissen Erfolg, wie bescheiden dieser auch im konkreten Fall ausfallen mag - es verlangt eine "diskursweise", das heißt "interdiskursive" Methode. Denn nur wer auch selbst seine Diskurse geordnet hat, bekommt vielleicht auf die Reihe, worum es (bei) Musil - nicht nur, aber in erster Linie in seinem unvollendeten Roman "Der Mann ohne Eigenschaften" - geht.

The value of victory in Pindar's odes : gnomai, cosmology and the role of the poet /
:
This book investigates the cosmological context of Pindar's victory odes, and how it influences his presentation of praise. The study first focuses on gnomai as a reflection of cosmology, using these sayings to establish the views the poems reveal on matters such as the divine, the human condition and man in society. This overview is complemented by detailed literary analyses demonstrating how cosmology functions in individual odes. They show that Pindar shapes the poet persona to emphasize different aspects of the traditional world view or represent varying viewpoints so that he can praise each victor according to his particular circumstances. By focusing on cosmology the book highlights a neglected dimension of Pindar's odes and challenges some traditional views on this poet.

Values of literature /
:
Why we read literature and why we should read literature are age-old questions that have, in recent years, gained unprecedented scope and intensity, against the backdrop of what has been perceived as a world-wide crisis in the humanities. While scholars frequently discuss different types of value separately, in this volume values of literature are approached in the plural: we argue that the ethical, aesthetic, cognitive, affective, social, historical, and existential values of literature should be explored in connection with each other. The three parts of the book explore the relationship between ethics and aesthetics; the cognitive, affective, and social values of literature; and the construction and questioning of literary values in society. Throughout the book, we discuss the different things literature can do - ranging from affirmation of social dogmas to its capacities for self-questioning and challenging of moral certainties - through the dynamic interplay of its ethical and aesthetic, cognitive and affective aspects. Literature not only reflects and draws on the values of the historical world from which it stems; it also actively addresses, challenges, and transforms those values and explores new ways to understand value. Through these complementary processes, literature engages in its own distinctively literary forms of value inquiry.

Paralysin cave : impotence, perception, and text in the Satyrica of Petronius /
:
This volume explores the literary representation of male sexual dysfunction and discusses the natural and supernatural elements of an ancient folk medical system based on conceptual associations between male sexuality and specific plants, animals and minerals. The work incorporates material from both literary and scientific sources to draw parallels between ancient and modern paradigms of healing. The literary depiction of attempts to remedy impotence demonstrates how an accessibility to cures contributes to the sexual and social reintegration of the sufferer. The Satyrica of Petronius echoes this process by means of the text itself and so effects similar ends. The book provides new insights into literature and the ancient belief systems underlying it with its original and integrative approach to disciplines such as philology, botany, mineralogy, zoology and medicine.

Text-Bild-Objekte im archäologischen Kontext /
:
Die altägyptische Kultur hat ein reiches archäologisches Erbe an Texten und Bildern hinterlassen, deren Bedeutung sich häufig erst unter Berücksichtigung ihrer räumlichen Dimension erschliesst. Der vorliegende Band widmet sich dem Zusammenspiel textueller und visueller Perspektiven in der Analyse ägyptischer Denkmäler und deren räumlicher Verortung und greift damit einen Schwerpunkt der epigraphischen und archäologischen Forschung Susanne Bickels auf. 'Text-Bild-Objekte im archäologischen Kontext' entfaltet diese Forschungsperspektive in 17 Beiträgen, vom Alten Reich bis ins 19. Jahrhundert und von Nubien bis in die Schweiz.

Male domination, female revolt : race, class, and gender in Kuwaiti women's fiction /
:
This book investigates various forms of women's resistance to male domination, as represented in Kuwaiti women's fiction. Drawing on Marxist-feminist literary theory, it closely analyses selected texts (published between 1953 and 2000), which reflect the effects of patriarchal culture and tradition on race, class, and gender relations in Kuwait and the Arabian Gulf region in general. It argues that the selected texts portray the pre-oil generations of Kuwaiti/Arabian Gulf women-born before or in the first half of the twentieth century-as resistant and/or revolutionary figures, contrary to the common notion of their stereotypical passivity and submissiveness. This book demonstrates how Kuwaiti women writers have used literature to work for, and contribute to, social change.
