Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. How Silent Spring stands as a monument to a unique, loving relationship between Rachel Carson and Dorothy Freeman, and how such love underpins a new environmental politics After the success of her first bestseller, The Sea Around Us, Rachel Carson settled in Southport, Maine. The married couple Dorothy and Stanley Freeman had a cottage nearby, and the trio quickly became friends. Their extensive and evocative correspondence shows that Dorothy and Rachel did something more: they fell in love. In this moving new book, Lida Maxwell explores their letters to reveal how Carson's masterpiece, Silent Spring, grew from the love these women shared for their wild surroundings and, vitally and increasingly, for each other. Carson had already demonstrated a profound environmental awareness by the time she purchased her home in Maine; Maxwell proposes that it took her love for Dorothy to open up a more powerful space for critique. As their love unsettled their heteronormative ideas of bourgeois life, it enabled Carson to develop an increasingly critical view of capitalism and its effects on nonhuman nature and human lives alike, and it was this evolution that made the advocacy of Silent Spring possible. In Rachel Carson and the Power of Queer Love, Silent Spring's exposé of the dangerous and loveless exhaustion of nature for capitalism's ends is set in bold relief against the lovers' correspondence, in which we see the path toward a more loving use of nature and a transformative political desire that, Maxwell argues, should inform our approach to contemporary environmental crises. …

Zustand: as new. Oxford : Oxford University Press, 2013. Hardcover. Dustjacket. xv,235 pp. - There are certain moments, such as the American founding or the Civil Rights Movement, that we revisit again and again as instances of democratic triumph, and there are other moments that haunt us as instances of democratic failure. How should we view moments of democratic failure, when both the law and citizens forsake justice? Do such moments reveal a wholesale failure of democracy or a more contested failing, pointing to what could have been, and still might be? Public Trials reveals the considerable stakes of how we understand democratic failure. Maxwell argues against a tendency in the thinking of Plato, Rousseau and contemporary theorists to view moments of democratic failure as indicative of the failure of democracy, insomuch as such thinking leads to a deference to authority that unintentionally encourages complicity in elite and legal failures to assure justice. In contrast, what Maxwell calls "lost cause narratives" of democratic failure reveal the contingency of democratic failure by showing that things "could have been" otherwise -- and, with public action and response, might yet be. A politics of lost causes calls for democratic responsiveness to failure via practices of resistance, theatrical claims-making, and re-narration. Maxwell makes a powerful case for the politics of lost causes by examining public controversies over trials. She focuses on the dilemmas and diagnoses of democratic failure in four instances: Edmund Burke's speeches and writings on the Warren Hastings trial in late 18th century Britain, Emile Zola's writings on the Dreyfus Affair in late 19th century France, Hannah Arendt's writings on the Eichmann trial in 1960's Israel, and Kathryn Bigelow's recent narration of (the lack of) trials of alleged terrorist detainees in Zero Dark Thirty. Maxwell marshals her subtle, historically grounded readings of these texts to show the dangers of despairing of democracy altogether, as well as the necessity of re-narrating instances of democratic failure so as to cultivate public responsiveness to such failures in the future.

Kl.-8°, Ppbd. 176 S. Neuwertiges Ex. // Menschen haben Rechte, allein aufgrund der Tatsache, dass sie Menschen sind, so die Allgemeine Erklärung der Menschenrechte von 1948. Dem widerspricht Hannah Arendt mit ihrem Konzept vom »Recht, Rechte zu haben«: Nur als Mitglied einer politischen Gemeinschaft, eines Staates, kann eine Person Grundrechte in Anspruch nehmen, hat sie ein Recht auf Bildung, auf Arbeit, Gesundheit, Kultur etc. Arendts Befund ist die Unzulänglichkeit der Menschenrechte als kohärentes theoretisches Konzept für demokratische Politik. Die Autor_innen aus unterschiedlichen Fachbereichen - darunter Geschichte, Recht, Politik und Literaturwissenschaft - analysieren den Satz von Hannah Arendt, kontextualisieren ihn in zeitgenössische Debatten und politische Problemlagen. Arendts Aussage ist heute, in Zeiten sogenannter Flüchtlingskrisen und außerstaatlicher Kriege von erschreckender Aktualität und zum Zentrum einer entscheidenden und lebhaften Debatte in Politik und Wissenschaft geworden.
