ʿAlī ibn Sahl Rabban aṭ-Ṭabarī: The Indian Books : A new edition of the Arabic text and first-time English translation /
:
ʿAlī ibn Sahl aṭ-Ṭabarī's Indian Books, completed in Samarra in 850 CE, offer a unique, interpretative summary of Ayurvedic medicine, as he understood it on the basis of now lost Arabic translations from Sanskrit.
ʿAlī ibn Sahl Rabban aṭ-Ṭabarī's Indian Books , completed in the year 850 CE as an appendix to his medico-philosophical chef-d'œuvre "Paradise of Wisdom", belong to the most remarkable texts in Arabic scientific literature. The Indian Books offer a unique, interpretative summary of the main tenets of Ayurvedic medicine, as understood by Arabic-speaking scholars on the basis of now lost translations from Sanskrit. The present book centres around a critical edition and annotated translation of this crucial text, framed by a detailed introduction and extensive glossaries of terms. Ṭabarī's learned exposé of Ayurveda also throws a more nuanced light on the allegedly uncontested supremacy of Greek humoralism in 9th-century Arabic medicine.

Doing Justice to a Wronged Literature: Essays on Arabic Literature and Rhetoric of the 12th-18th Centuries in Honour of Thomas Bauer /
:
Doing Justice to a Wronged Literature, a Festschrift for the Arabist and Islamicist Thomas Bauer, includes 17 essays by established academics on various themes and aspects of Arabic literature and rhetoric of the Ayyubid, Mamluk and Ottoman periods (12th-18th centuries).
Doing Justice to a Wronged Literature is a Festschrift for the Arabist and Islamicist Thomas Bauer. It includes 17 essays by established academics on various themes and aspects of Arabic literature and rhetoric of the Ayyubid, Mamluk and Ottoman periods (12th-18th centuries). Notoriously neglected and maligned by earlier scholarship, Arabic literature and rhetoric of the 12th-18th centuries is an understudied area of Arabic studies that Thomas Bauer has over the last two decades succeeded in developing and promoting. A tribute to his pioneering work on this field, the contributions highlight the wealth, complexity and importance of Arabic literature and rhetoric of the said period by offering close readings of paradigmatic texts or examining specific topics and trends in larger corpora.

Shusterman's Somaesthetics : From Hip Hop Philosophy to Politics and Performance Art /
:
This edited collection provides an in-depth and wide-ranging exploration of pragmatist philosopher Richard Shusterman's distinctive project of "somaesthetics," devoted not only to better understanding bodily experience but also to greater mastery of somatic perception, performance, and presentation. Against contemporary trends that focus narrowly on conceptual and computational thinking, Shusterman returns philosophy to what is most fundamental-the sentient, expressive, human body with its creations of living beauty. Twelve scholars here provide penetrating critical analyses of Shusterman on ontology, perception, language, literature, culture, politics, aesthetics, cuisine, music, and the visual arts, including films of his work in performance art.

Italian Futurism and the Poetry of Materiality : The Tin-Litho Book L'Anguria Lirica /
:
This monograph offers the first-ever, full-length analysis of the most irreverent book of Italian Futurism: L'anguria lirica , printed in 1934 on tin metal sheets, with design and poetic text by Tullio d'Albisola and illustrations by Bruno Munari. This study, which features the unabridged reproduction of the pages of the tin book, accompanied by the first English translation of the poem, aims to disentangle the complex relationship between text and image in this total artwork. It shows how the endless series of material transformations at its core - of woman into food, of love into desecrating religion, of man into machine, of poetry into matter - fostered a radical change in poetry-writing, thus breaking away from a stagnant lyrical past.

Sterbehilfe als Liebestod : Existenzielles Leiden in Literatur und Film der Gegenwart /
:
Wie soll mit dem Sterbewunsch betagter Paare umgegangen werden, die einander nicht überleben wollen - gerade wenn nur eine*r der beiden schwer erkrankt ist? Und soll der*die Hinterbliebene, der*die den Verlust des geliebten Menschen nicht erträgt, ihm durch Sterbehilfe in den Tod folgen dürfen? Diese aktuellen gesellschaftspolitischen Fragen werden wiederholt auch von Literatur und Film aufgegriffen. Mehr noch: Sie lassen sich ohne literarischen Bezugshorizont nicht denken. Mit dem Liebestod haben unzählige Geschichten seit der Antike die affektiv meist positiv besetzte Vorstellung davon geschaffen, wie Liebende den Tod einem Leben ohne den*die andere*n vorziehen. Die Studie untersucht dreizehn literarische und filmische Werke der Gegenwart, die das Motiv im Kontext der Sterbehilfe aktualisieren. Sie fragt danach, in welcher Weise es erzählerisch fruchtbar gemacht wird. Wie wird der Verlust des*der Geliebten als Sterbemotiv greifbar? Wie wird dieses reflektiert, kommentiert, kritisiert oder affirmiert? Welche ethischen Perspektiven eröffnet das traditions- und facettenreiche Motiv im Sterbehilfediskurs des 21. Jahrhunderts?
