”Ah! du ville inte låta mig kyssa din mun, Iokanaan. Då skall jag kyssa den nu. Jag skall bita den med mina tänder så som man biter i en mogen frukt. Ja, jag skall kyssa din mun, Iokanaan. Jag sade ju det, inte sant? Jag sade ju det? Då skall jag kyssa den, nu.” Detta är en unik, trespråkig utgåva av Oscar Wildes pjäs Salome. Den innehåller den franska originaltexten, den första översättningen till engelska komplett med Aubrey Beardsleys illustrationer, samt Hillevi Hellbergs nyöversättning till svenska. Texten föregås av ett initierat förord av Cecilia Carlander och är utförligt försedd med kommentarer av översättaren.

Salome retells the Biblical story in which the stepdaughter of Herod demands the head of John the Baptist as a reward for her dancing for her stepfather's amusement. Written in 1891, rehearsals of Salome had to be cancelled when the play was banned by the Lord Chamberlain due to its depiction of religious characters.

The essay is the perfect format for a crisis. Its porous and contingent nature forgives a lack of formality, while its neglect of perfection and virtuosity releases the potential for the incomplete and the unrealizable. These seven essays on The Political Possibility of Sound present a perfectly incomplete form for a discussion on the possibility of the political that includes creativity and invention, and articulates a politics that imagines transformation and the desire to embrace a connected and collaborative world.The themes of these essays emerge from and deepen discussions started in Voegelin's previous books, Listening to Noise and Silence and Sonic Possible Worlds. Continuing the methodological juxtaposition of phenomenology and logic and writing from close sonic encounters each represents a fragment of listening to a variety of sound works, to music, the acoustic environment and to poetry, to hear their possibilities and develop words for what appears impossible.As fragments of writing they respond to ideas on geography and migration, bring into play formless subjectivities and trans-objective identities, and practice collectivity and a sonic cosmopolitanism through the hearing of shared volumes. They involve the unheard and the in-between to contribute to current discussions on new materialism, and perform vertical readings to reach the depth of sound.

Lou Salomé var en rysk psykoanalytiker och författare som kopplats till namn som Nietzsche, Rilke och Freud. Hon var med och influerade psykoanalysen, men hennes bidrag har hamnat i skymundan av kärleksaffärer och skvaller. Salomés konstnärliga ådra förde henne även på resor över hela Europa och till studier i Zürich. Kanske är det mest intressanta hur Lou Salomé genom svenska bekantskaper kom i kontakt med Freud och psykoanalysen. Och den stora frågan är förstås om det kan vara så att hon haft en roll i ett av Nietzsches mest kända verk?Mirjam Tapper, född 1948, är en svensk författare och etnolog. Hennes självhjälpsböcker har uppmärksammats av bl.a. kursverksamheter och friskvårdare.

The Human Family is the first complete translation of the cycle of ten novellas that Lou Andreas-Salomé (1861–1937) wrote between 1895 and 1898. This collection contributes to the rediscovery of Andreas-Salomé's significance as a thinker and writer, above all with regard to her literary contribution to modern feminism and the principles of women's emancipation. Born in St. Petersburg to a German diplomat and his wife, Andreas-Salomé has always been a figure of interest because of her close relationships to influential thinkers such as Friedrich Nietzsche, Rainer Maria Rilke, and Sigmund Freud. Only since the mid-1980s, however, have her prose fiction and theoretical writings been reconsidered as important documents of emerging ideas and debates in twentieth-century feminism. The ten stories of The Human Family drive home her critical perspective on feminine stereotypes. They depict a wide variety of young women as they relate to men representing different degrees of enlightenment and tolerance, struggling to express a complete and independent feminine identity in the face of the confining but often seductive roles that convention and tradition impose on female potential. The Human Family provides a subtle and nuanced perspective on European feminist writing from the turn of the last century by a woman writer who was intimately involved with the literary mainstream of her time and whose theoretical and literary works played a significant role in feminist debates of the period, prefiguring present-day feminist discourse on essentialism and constructivism.

Denna antologi – Ljudkonst – har som ambition att erbjuda en introduktion till och översikt över delar av ett landskap som utgörs av både konstnärliga soniska praktiker och teoretiska diskurser, vilka sammantagna formar ett fält som kommit att kallas ”ljudkonst”. De fjorton essäer av konstnärer och teoretiker som ingår i Ljudkonst (re)presenterar, skriver antologins redaktörer Åsa Stjerna och Andreas Engström, hur samtalet om ljudkonst har utvecklats och omvandlats i den teoretiska diskussionen under de senaste decennierna. De tecknar konturerna av en historia om begreppets konstruktion och dekonstruktion, och formar en interdisciplinär berättelse som inte desto mindre innebär inkluderanden och exkluderanden. Det är en komplex berättelse om ljudets materialitet, om ljudets ontologi, om dess frigörelse från en inommusikalisk tolkningssfär, om konstarternas diskursiva expansion och öppnande mot samtida konstnärliga och filosofiska strömningar. I Ljudkonst medverkar Helga de la Motte-Haber, David Toop, Douglas Kahn, Volker Straebel, Barbara Barthelmes, Golo Föllmer, Gernot Böhme, Frauke Behrendt, Gascia Ouzounian, Brandon LaBelle, Salomé Voegelin, Seth Kim-Cohen, Christoph Cox och Tara Rodgers. Ljudkonst utgör # 140 i Musikaliska Akademiens skriftserie.

As the ruler of Judea from 76 to 67 B.C.E., Queen Salome Alexandra (ca. 141 B.C.E.-67 B.C.E.) appointed the kingdom's high priest, led its men in battle, subjugated neighboring kings, and stopped the religious violence that plagued her society. Presiding over Judea's greatest period of peace and prosperity, she shaped the Judaism of Jesus' day as well as our own. Virtually unknown today, Queen Salome remained so unique that historians have largely ignored her rather than try to explain the perplexing circumstances that brought her to power. This volume recreates Queen Salome's fascinating life and the time in which she lived--an age when women ruled the Middle East.

En laddad skildring av ungt tonårsliv på åttiotalet och samtidigt en modern iscensättning av Salome-myten. Elsa Mo är 14 år och folkhemsprinsessa. Hon bor i det lilla samhället Ormby i norra Skåne och hennes liv kretsar kring skolan, kompisarna och dansen. Hennes bästa kompis Veronika är döende i en svår sjukdom. Hon har en utflyttad far, en komplicerad relation till modern och en oförstående bullrig styvfar. Hon föraktar sin omgivning men tycks ändå ha allt, tills hon får en ny fosterbror, Johannes. Plötsligt förändras allt. Johannes är svårtydbar – värsting eller ängel? Alla, vuxna som jämnåriga, dras till honom, ingen verkar se den riktige Johannes. Elsa själv både attraheras och stöts bort. Men när Johannes tar Veronika från Elsa väcks hennes vrede. På ytan en historia om unga flickor, men laddad av frågor som rör sexualitet, kvinnoblivelse, underkastelse och maktspel.Salome är en rasande uppgörelse med våra invanda föreställningar kring kön och begär, offer och förövare där den unga flickans kropp, tonåringen, står i centrum. I Salome utmanar Mara Lee våra förväntningar med sin suggestiva, särpräglade romankonst.

This is the first collection of plays in the Complete Works of Oscar Wilde series edited by Ian Small. It contains full-dress critical editions, at the high editorial standard of the familiar Oxford English Texts series, encompassing all surviving manuscript material and all other relevant documents, of three of Wilde's plays: The Duchess of Padua, the original French Salomé, and the first English translation, by Lord Alfred Douglas. The edition contains comprehensive introductions and editorial introductions, as well as extensive annotations. The Duchess of Padua is one of two early plays by Wilde (the other being Vera; or, The Nihilists) that signify his youthful interest in making his mark on the contemporary theatre. They are imperfect works, but they show the real talent and definite promise that would be fulfilled, in the early 1890s, first with Lady Windermere's Fan (completed 1891, produced 1892) and then, almost simultaneously, with the next play in this volume, Wilde's French Salomé, written also in 1891, completed in 1892, but not published until 1893: his only work written in French. Douglas's translation, which left the author of the French work disappointed by its 'schoolboy' quality, is also included here since it was issued over Wilde's name (and dedicated to Douglas, 'the translator of my play') and is indisputably part of Wilde's oeuvre.

How does literature imagine its own powers of representation? Françoise Meltzer attempts to answer this question by looking at how the portrait—the painted portrait, framed—appears in various literary texts. Alien to the verbal system of the text yet mimetic of the gesture of writing, the textual portrait becomes a telling measure of literature''s views on itself, on the politics of representation, and on the power of writing. Meltzer''s readings of textual portraits—in the Gospel writers and Huysmans, Virgil and Stendhal, the Old Testament and Apuleius, Hawthorne and Poe, Kafka and Rousseau, Walter Scott and Mme de Lafayette—reveal an interplay of control and subversion: writing attempts to veil the visual and to erase the sensual in favor of "meaning," while portraiture, with its claims to bringing the natural object to "life," resists and eludes such control. Meltzer shows how this tension is indicative of a politics of repression and subversion intrinsic to the very act of representation. Throughout, she raises and illuminates fascinating issues: about the relation of flattery to caricature, the nature of the uncanny, the relation of representation to memory and history, the narcissistic character of representation, and the interdependency of representation and power. Writing, thinking, speaking, dreaming, acting—the extent to which these are all controlled by representation must, Meltzer concludes, become "consciously unconscious." In the textual portrait, she locates the moment when this essential process is both revealed and repressed.

The story of a young, aspiring Jewish woman from the ghetto who will do anything to get her man in this case an upper-class WASP. When she discovers he is not really what she wanted, she will do anything to get away. Based on the real-life story of the Jewish immigrant activist Rose Pastor's fairytale romance with the millionaire socialist Graham Stokes, the novel also reflects Yezierska's own doomed romance with the famous educator John Dewey. Passionate and engagingly sardonic, it criticizes the concept of the American "Melting Pot" in the language of the Lower East Side and exposes the hypocrisy of the "good works" of the privileged class and their so-called dedication to the poor. Gay Wilentz's introduction discusses Anzia Yezierska's life and work.Originally published in 1923.

This English translation of Friedrich Nietzsche in seinen Werken offers a rare, intimate view of the philosopher by Lou SalomÉ, a free-thinking, Russian-born intellectual to whom Nietzsche proposed marriage at only their second meeting. Published in 1894 as its subject languished in madness, SalomÉ's book rode the crest of a surge of interest in Nietzsche's iconoclastic philosophy. She discusses his writings and such biographical events as his break with Wagner, attempting to ferret out the man in the midst of his works. SalomÉ's provocative conclusion -- that Nietzsche's madness was the inevitable result of his philosophical views -- generated considerable controversy. Nietzsche's sister, Elisabeth FÖrster-Nietzsche, dismissed the book as a work of fantasy. Yet the philosopher's longtime acquaintance Erwin Rohde wrote, "Nothing better or more deeply experienced or perceived has ever been written about Nietzsche." Siegfried Mandel's extensive introduction examines the circumstances that brought Lou SalomÉ and Nietzsche together and the ideological conflicts that drove them apart.

As the nineteenth century gave way to the twentieth, a short-lived but extraordinary cultural phenomenon spread throughout Europe and the United States—“Salomania.” The term was coined when biblical bad girl Salome was resurrected from the Old Testament and reborn on the modern stage in Oscar Wilde’s 1893 play Salome and in Richard Strauss’s 1905 opera based on it. Salome quickly came to embody the turn-of-the-century concept of the femme fatale. She and the striptease Wilde created for her, “The Dance of the Seven Veils,” soon captivated the popular imagination in performances on stages high and low, from the Metropolitan Opera to the Ziegfeld Follies.This book details for the first time the Salomania craze and four remarkable women who personified Salome and performed her seductive dance: Maud Allan, a Canadian modern dancer; Mata Hari, a Dutch spy; Ida Rubinstein, a Russian heiress; and French novelist Colette. Toni Bentley masterfully weaves the stories of these women together, showing how each embraced the persona of the femme fatale and transformed the misogynist idea of a dangerously sexual woman into a form of personal liberation. Bentley explores how Salome became a pop icon in Europe and America, how the real women who played her influenced the beginnings of modern dance, and how her striptease became in the twentieth century an act of glamorous empowerment and unlikely feminism. Sisters of Salome is a dramatic account of an ancient myth played out onstage and in real life, at the fascinating edge where sex and art, desire and decency, merge.

If I''d never hoped to live in a world of goodness and truth—if the priestess of Diana, then Leander, and Joanna, hadn''t shown me glimpses of it—maybe I wouldn''t have minded being shut out of it. Maybe the preacher''s death wouldn''t have trapped me in a dungeon, the dungeon of my own self.Her name is Salome. You may think you know her story—how her seductive Dance of the Seven Veils led to the beheading of John the Baptist. But you don''t know it from her side. You don''t know how a web of betrayal, and greed, and desire was spun around an innocent teenage girl. How she came to doubt her own mother. How she searched for a friend in an unfamiliar land. And how she walked into a trap that changed the course of history.This is Salome''s story, in her own words. Listen, and learn of strength, of power, of loyalty—and of death.From the Hardcover edition.
