"Highly recommended: On Editing is indispensable reading for anyone who is or wants to be a writer. Every desk should have a copy!" - Dr Samantha J. Rayner, Director of the Centre for Publishing, UCL "On Editing is a feast with many courses. When you have finished this book, you will feel encouraged, empowered, and indomitable. If you are writing-or editing-a novel, you could do no better than to have this book by your side. Comprehensive, easily digestible, it is a classic in the making." - Shaye Areheart, Director of the Columbia Publishing Course Writing a novel is a magical but often difficult journey; and when your first draft is complete, that journey's not over. As the editing process gets underway, authors often find themselves in unfamiliar territory. What does it mean to 'map your plot'? How do you know if you're 'head-hopping'? When is your novel ready to send out to agents, and how do you make each submission count? Written by the team behind one of the world's most successful literary consultancies, On Editing will show you how to master the self-edit. You will learn to compose, draft, and edit while sharpening your writing and ensuring that your novel is structurally sound, authentic, well-written, and ready for submission. On Editing will help you harness your creative potential, transform the way you think about your writing, and revolutionise your editorial process. "It's easy for writers to be overwhelmed by the technicalities of writing, editing and getting published, but Helen Corner-Bryant and Kathryn Price share their decades of experience nurturing writers in On Editing. They know all the problems and how to fix them - including many you might not even think of - and explain it all in a clean, jargon-free, way that demystifies the whole process, with infectious enthusiasm that will have you ready, eager and bursting with the confidence to take your writing to the next level." - Writing Magazine

Der Herausgeber dokumentiert, kommentiert und analysiert erstmals den Hamburger Theaterskandal von 1801. Damals kam es zu einer offenen Rebellion des Publikums gegen die funf Direktoren der Buhne. Lautstark forderten die Zuschauer ein Mitspracherecht bei kunstlerischen Entscheidungen. Sie zeigten damit, dass das Theater um 1800 als oeffentlicher Verhandlungsort politischer und asthetischer Konflikte zu begreifen ist. Dieses Buch dokumentiert den Hamburger Theaterskandal anhand historischer Pressetexte. Dabei macht der Herausgeber deutlich, welche Rolle die Medien bei der Eskalation des Streits und seiner Bewaltigung in der OEffentlichkeit spielten. Die hier zum ersten Mal edierten und kontextualisierten Quellen des Skandals erlauben neue Erkenntnisse uber die Funktionsweise von Theaterskandalen uberhaupt.

Das algerische Kino begleitet die Geschichte des Landes seit dem Unabhangigkeitskrieg. Es reflektiert Entwicklungen und Probleme des modernen Algerien, dessen enge und konfliktreiche Beziehung zu Frankreich sowie die nationale Krise im Burgerkrieg. Aus filmhistorischer, transnationaler und postkolonialer Sicht bietet diese Studie Einblick in mehr als ein halbes Jahrhundert (franko-)algerische Filmproduktion. Anhand eines umfangreichen Korpus werden mit der Konstruktion von Geschichte und Identitat zwei Zentralthemen dieses Kinos ergrundet. In exemplarischen Analysen untersucht die Arbeit Klassiker wie La Bataille d'Alger oder Chronique des annees de braise, aber auch zahlreiche andere, dem europaischen Publikum weniger bekannte, Filme.

Der Band versammelt Lekturen gegenwartiger und historischer Konstellationen in Theater, Text und Kunst, die Echo als Figur und Phanomen nachspuren. Im antiken Mythos ist die Nymphe Echo zur ohnmachtigen Wiederholung fremder Rede verdammt. Sie wird zum Sinnbild eines defizitaren, vom Anderen abhangigen Wesens. Doch birgt der Widerhall mehr in sich, verweist er doch auf das widerstandige Moment einer Zergliederung jedes "eigentlichen" Ausdrucks. Echos koerperlose Stimme gemahnt an die Medialitat der Kommunikation, das Entgleiten des Sinns, die Grenzen der Mitteilbarkeit und die Ambivalenzen einer Aneignung der Vergangenheit. Damit aber wohnt ihr ein entschieden theatrales Element inne. Echo wird als eigene Praxis wirksam.
