« Ma voix va s'efforcer d'être celle des quarante ou cinquante millions de victimes dont la voix, en Europe centrale, est étouffée, étranglée. [...] Vous savez tous comment la tragédie a commencé. Ce fut quand surgit en Allemagne le national-socialisme, dont la devise fut dès le premier jour : étouffer. »Voyageur infatigable, passionné de littératures et de cultures étrangères, Stefan Zweig partageait avec les grands intellectuels de son temps un pacifisme actif et des rêves humanistes. Face à la montée du nazisme et à l'éclatement de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, qui le contraignirent à l'exil et à l'errance, il n'eut de cesse de lutter contre l'effondrement de l'Europe. Articles, chroniques et essais inédits écrits par Stefan Zweig entre 1911 et 1942, autant de précieux fragments disparus ou encore oubliés qui reflètent l'actualité mouvante de toute une époque et nous font découvrir, à saut et à gambades, les ressorts intimes d'une écriture engagée. Écrivain, dramaturge, journaliste et biographe autrichien parmi les plus célèbres des années 1920-1930, Stefan Zweig est l'auteur de très nombreux ouvrages, dont le magnifique Monde d'hier. Souvenirs d'un Européen (1944).

"Tomas Tranströmer räknas som en av Sveriges mest betydande poeter genom tiderna. Samtidigt hör det till berättelsen om Tranströmer att han utsattes för hård kritik under 1960- och 70-talen för att hans poesi ansågs vara politiskt oengagerad. Hur kan man såhär femtio år senare förstå den kritiken? Stämmer det över huvud taget att Tranströmer hade kritikerkåren emot sig? Hur är det möjligt att från vår sida av millennieskiftet se på politiska dimensioner i Tranströmers poesi? I antologin 'Tranströmer och det politiska' undersöker åtta litteraturvetare från Umeå, Sundsvall och Åbo den tranströmerska poesins förhållande till politiken. Texterna tar avstamp i aspekter som diktjaget, parrelationen, tilliten till språket, civilisationskritiken, jämlikhetstanken eller helt enkelt i den egna, känslomässigt grundade, upplevelsen av att läsa Tranströmers dikter. Antologin visar dels att det finns skäl att revidera litteraturhistorieskrivningen om Tranströmer, dels att det är möjligt att betrakta hans poesi som just politisk - även om den inte behandlar vad man i vardagligt tal kallar för politik."-- Back cover.

This book focuses on the central "moment" of Hegel's tripartite division of the political realm into the spheres of family, civil society, and state. It also focuses on his particular form of idealism; his logic, the identity of identity and difference; and the contradictions of modernity.

Social scientist Archie Mafeje, who was born in the Eastern Cape but lived most of his scholarly life in exile, was one of Africa's most prominent intellectuals. This ground-breaking book is the first to consider the entire body of Mafeje's oeuvre and offers much-needed engagement with his ideas. The most inclusive and critical treatment to date of Mafeje as a thinker and researcher, it does not aim to be a biography, but rather offers an analysis of his overall scholarship and his role as a theoretician of liberation and revolution in Africa. Bongani Nyoka argues that Mafeje's superb scholarship developed out of both his experience as an oppressed black person and his early political education. These, merged with his university training, turned him into a formidable cutting-edge intellectual force. Nyoka begins with an evaluation of Mafeje's critique of the social sciences; his focus then shifts to Mafeje's work on land and agrarian issues in sub-Saharan Africa, before finally dealing with his work on revolutionary theory and politics. By bringing Mafeje's work to the fore, Nyoka engages in an act of knowledge decolonisation, thus making a unique contribution to South studies in sociology, history and politics.

Michel de Montaigne hat mit seinen Essais eine Form des Schreibens erfunden, die früh auch in England Fuß fasst. Entscheidend für die innovative Form ist eine Neubestimmung des Verhältnisses zwischen Öffentlichkeit und Privatheit. Die Relevanz der Kategorien Öffentlichkeit und Privatheit ist in der Forschung zu Montaigne und zur Geschichte des Essays bislang unterbelichtet geblieben. Die Arbeit erschließt ihre Semantik bei Montaigne und arbeitet sie als zentrales Element der Formgebung der Essais heraus. Wie an John Florios früher Montaigne-Übersetzung gezeigt wird, etabliert sich die neue Form schnell in England. Ihrer Funktion wird anhand einer vergleichenden Analyse der moralphilosophischen und politischen Reflexion bei Montaigne und seinen Lesern Francis Bacon und William Cornwallis nachgegangen.
