W places the commonplace on an equal footing with what is presumably significant, right in line with Lukas Wassmann’s whole approach to photography. The Swiss photographer interleaves intimate snapshots and self-portraits with pictures of arranged nature, buildings and people, home-made furniture, documentary and commercial fashion photography. The Things of Life, as this hodgepodge may suggest, are often played out on the margins. So this book is about an in-between realm, not about Wassmann’s money shots. W brings together photographs from 2000 to 2018. They are not presented in any chronological or thematic order, but the associative pictorial sequences weave one loose narrative after another, only to break off and maybe take up the thread again at some point later on. Characters appear and disappear, chromatic analogies give way to choreographies of form. What remains is not even concrete things, but more atmospheric traces, a pictorial language of memory, moments in the stream of consciousness of an author with a highly idiosyncratic photographic eye.
Парки дикой природы Pendjari (известный как Arly в Буркина-Фасо) и W расположены в Западной Африке, к северу от Бенина и частично занимают южные части Буркина-Фасо и Нигера. Это единственные охраняемые территории в Западной Африке, где все еще можно встретить стада слонов, несмотря на вредную деятельность человека, и их управление все еще находится под юрисдикцией трех (03) суверенных государств, а именно Бенина, Буркина-Фасо и Нигера. Прямым следствием такой ситуации является существование нескольких национальных правовых систем для управления и защиты слонов. Это вряд ли способствует эффективной реализации государственной политики, особенно уголовно-правового подхода к преступлениям против дикой природы и лесного хозяйства. В то же время надвигается опасность наступления пустыни Сахель и глобального потепления. Основной целью данного исследования является поиск решений для единообразного управления этой жизненно важной территорией на основе текстов уголовного права с целью защиты этого биоразнообразия.
NOMINERET TIL NORDISK RÅDS LITTERATURPRIS 2020 MOTIVERING: Om den virkelige person Johann Christian Woyzeck, som i 1821 slog den kvinde ihjel, som han sagde, at han elskede, og som efter en lang retspsykiatrisk udredning blev dømt til døden, ved vi på en gang usædvanligt meget – og slet ingenting. Hans skæbne formes af Georg Büchner i det uafsluttede drama Woyzeck (1836), som trods – eller måske netop på grund af – sin fragmentariske ufærdighed er blevet et portalværk i moderne, tysk drama. Selv om han tager afsæt i de samme kilder som Büchner – de omfattende protokoller fra forhør af soldaten, parykmageren og voldsmanden Woyzeck – er Steve Sem-Sandbergs roman W. et værk, som sætter den ikoniske fortælling i et nyt, blændende lys. Sem-Sandbergs Woyzeck er en evig taber, som bliver hundset med, undertrykt og hånet i alt, hvad han gør. Med en både arkaisk og tilpasset og ordrig, men fjerlet prosa skildrer Sem-Sandberg et menneske, som stræber efter værdighed i en virkelighed, hvor al sund fornuft er fraværende. Krigens faser og retspsykiatriens sterile menneskesyn står i kontrast til Woyzecks egen desperate længsel efter at gøre noget smukt med det tarvelige liv, som han har fået tildelt. Det er naturligvis en fortvivlet kamp med vanvid og en utilgivelig handling til følge. W. er en roman om den indre og ydre galskab og de mange sammenfiltrede tråde derimellem. Der stilles mange spørgsmål, og der gives kun få svar. Den sanselige, billedrige prosa er perfekt ned til den mindste detalje. Som han ofte har gjort, benytter Sem-Sandberg sig af et rigt dokumentarisk materiale, som han nærmest alkymistisk forvandler til et stykke uforglemmelig litteratur. Steve Sem-Sandberg (f. 1958) er forfatter, oversætter og litteraturkritiker. Han har været aktiv siden 1976, og han er mest kendt for sine mange dokumentariske, historiske romaner, blandt andet Theres (1996), Ravensbrück (2003) og De fattiga i Lódz (2009) (De fattige i Lodz, Gyldendal 2011, oversat af Niels Lyngsø), som blev belønnet med Augustprisen.
Woyzeck är historien om den lojale fotsoldaten som i ett anfall av svartsjuka dödar kvinnan han älskar. Den verkliga händelsen inspirerade Georg Büchner att 1836 skriva den pjäs som kom att bli en klassiker inom europeisk dramatik. Sem-Sandberg utgår i W. från samma material. Det är en berättelse om en ensam människa som för att undkomma misären tar värvning och deltar i det tidiga 1800-talets många krig.Sem-Sandberg tecknar en bild av ett kluvet Europa – en kontinent som faller sönder av krigets barbari och samtidigt drömmer om en helt ny och upplyst syn på individen som samhällsvarelse. Men främst är W en skoningslös studie av den utsatta människan, av den avgrund som Büchner menade att varje människa är.

Written in alternating chapters, W or the Memory of Childhood, tells two parallel tales, in two parts. The other story is about two people called Gaspard Winckler: one an eight-year-old deaf-mute lost in a shipwreck, the other a man despatched to search for him, who discovers W, an island state based on the rules of sport.
From the quiet beauty of 'The Lake Isle of Innisfree' to the apocalyptic resonance of 'The Second Coming', this collection shows the impact of a great poet whose startling relevance to our own times grows more and more evident.
On the peripheries of UK poetry culture during his lifetime, W. S. Graham is now recognized one of the great poets of the twentieth century. In the first concerted study of Graham's poetics in a generation, David Nowell Smith argues that Graham is exemplary for the poetics of the mid-century: his extension of modernist explorations of rhythm and diction; his interweaving of linguistic and geographic places; his dialogue with the plastic arts; and the tensions that run through his work, between philosophical seriousness and play, solitude and sociality, regionalism and cosmopolitanism, the heft and evanescence of poetry's medium. Drawing on newly unearthed archival materials, Nowell Smith orients Graham's poetics around the question of the 'art object'. Graham sought to craft his poems into honed, finished 'objects'; yet he was also aware that the poem's 'finished object' is never wholly finished. Graham's work thus facilitates a broader reflection on language as a medium for art-making.
This book comprehensively examines the relationship between literature and sculpture in the work of W. B. Yeats, drawing on extensive archival research to offer revelatory new readings of the poet. The book traces Yeats's literary and critical engagement with Celtic Revival statuary, public monuments in Dublin, the coin designs of the Irish Free State, abstract sculpture by the Vorticists and modernists, and a variety of carvings, decorative sculptures, and objets d'art. By charting Yeats's early art school education in Dublin, his attempts to raise funds for public monuments in the city, and to secure commissions for his favourite sculptors, the book documents a lifelong interest in the plastic arts. New and original readings of Yeats's poetry, drama, and prose criticism emerge from this concertedly inter-arts and interdisciplinary study.
In the first authorized biography of W. B. Yeats for over 50 years, Roy Foster brings new light to one of the most complex and fascinating lives of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Working from a great archive of personal and contemporary material, he dramatically alters traditional perceptions to illuminate the poet's family history, relationships, politics, and art. From a childhood inheritance of déclassé Irish Protestantism with strong nationalist sympathies, and an exceptional and talented family background, the narrative charts his development into a great poet. It ends in his 50th year with the controversies and disillusionment affecting his personal and public life at the time of the First World War. A bohemian life of uncertain finances, love-affairs, avant-garde friends and experiments with drugs and occultism prefaces his attempt to unite politics with high culture and his creation of an Irish national theatre. Constantly shifting between Dublin, Coole Park and London, with forays to America and Paris, ruthlessly constructing a public life as well as a creative reputation, Yeats's genius attracted admirers and enemies with equal passion. His story intersects with those of an engrossing cast of characters including Lady Gregory, J. M. Synge, George Moore, 'AE', Ezra Pound and above all Maud Gonne - an influence eternally re-created 'like the phoenix', affecting everything he did. The search for supernatural wisdom forms a constant thread, traced through Yeats's occult notebooks and closely related to the insecurities of his personal life. The Apprentice Mage charts the growth of a poet's mind and of an astonishing personality, both of which were instrumental in the formation of a new and radicalised Irish nationalist identity.
W.E.B. DuBois and American Political Thought

This groundbreaking study of W.E.B. DuBois simultaneously analyses the political thought of one of the leading black American intellectuals and activists of this century, provides a model for the study of the history of political thought, and by examining recent DuBois scholarship, offers a penetrating interpretation of contemporary black thought. The book departs from existing DuBois scholarship by locating the sources of DuBois's thinking in the cauldron of reform-oriented American intellectual life at the end of the nineteenth century, and follows through the course of his career the ways that his early commitments persisted in his basic views regarding such pivotal issues as the relation of science and progress, social stratification among black Americans and in general, and rational social organization. While DuBois's substantive political programmes changed over time, for example in his support for defensive organizing behind the walls of segregation during the 1930s and his rapprochement with the Communist left in his last two decades, Reed argues that those changes do not reflect fundamental shifts in the structure of his thinking but were pragmatic responses to concrete political circumstances. When situated within their own constitutive contexts, these changing responses reveal their compatibility, if not coherence, with DuBois's basic, essentially Fabian socialist world view as first elaborated in The Philadelphia Negro. W.E.B. DuBois and American Political Thought's interpretation of DuBois is also an argument about the fundamental connections between Afro-American political debate and broader patterns of political discourse. This argument is linked to a path-breaking critique of dominant tendencies in Afro-American intellectual historiography and their ideological foundations, as well as to a sophisticated argument in support of an alternative, historically generativist approach to the study of the history of political thought.

W. E. B. Du Bois was a public intellectual, sociologist, and activist on behalf of the African American community. He profoundly shaped black political culture in the United States through his founding role in the NAACP, as well as internationally through the Pan-African movement. Du Bois's sociological and historical research on African-American communities and culture broke ground in many areas, including the history of the post-Civil War Reconstruction period. Du Bois was also a prolific author of novels, autobiographical accounts, innumerable editorials and journalistic pieces, and several works of history. Intended as an accessible, up-to-date introduction to African American history by its 1915 publisher, The Negro was much more to W. E. B. Du Bois. The chance to write on African American History for a wide audience became his chance to write a manifesto on African history worldwide. Du Bois focuses on the continent of Africa, giving justice to its oft-neglected positive history. Drawing on anthropological and linguistic literature of the time, Du Bois captures a succinct portrait of African and African American history ready for any reader no matter their prior knowledge. His argument enters the narrative fully, revealing his quest for the vindication of black history. With a series introduction by editor Henry Louis Gates, Jr., and an introduction by John K. Thornton, this edition is essential for anyone interested in African American history.

Du Bois was also a prolific author of novels, autobiographical accounts, innumerable editorials and journalistic pieces, and several works of history. Considered a sequel to Du Bois's wildly popular The Souls of Black Folks, Darkwater revisits many of the same themes with a more militant edge, even revising previously published essays and poems to include in this newer volume. Published in 1920, Darkwater focuses on the political climate following World War I. In ten carefully crafted chapters, Du Bois explores the important issues of that period- labor, capital, politics, gender, education, and international relations-in tandem with an overarching theme of race. Blending lyrical autobiography with political thoughts and even poetry, Du Bois makes a powerful, forceful argument regarding race and the color line. With a series introduction by editor Henry Louis Gates, Jr., and an introduction by Evelyn Brooks Higginbotham, this edition is essential for anyone interested in African American history.

Du Bois's The Gift of Black Folk explores the contributions African Americans have made to American society, detailing the importance of racial diversity to the United States. Writing for a general audience, Du Bois employs a sweeping scope for his argument, covering the European discovery of America to the twentieth century. In doing so he works to prove that through African Americans' struggle for freedom and equality, they have most fully realized the goal of democracy.

Du Bois's sociological and historical research on African-American communities and culture broke ground in many areas, including the history of the post-Civil War Reconstruction period. Du Bois was also a prolific author of novels, autobiographical accounts, innumerable editorials and journalistic pieces, and several works of history. The Dark Princess is a story of magical love and radical politics, a romance facing obstacles in a white-dominated world. Du Bois's allegorical tale follows Mathew Townes from his political disillusionment to his association with a powerful and seductive revolutionary leader, Kautilya, the princess of the Tibetan Kingdom of Bwodpur. With Dark Princess, Du Bois explores the color line from a fantastical angle while inserting his signature sociological style. With a series introduction by editor Henry Louis Gates, Jr., and an introduction by Homi Bhahba, this edition is essential for anyone interested in African American history.
