Roland Barthes
‘A VERY FINE GIFT’
AND OTHER WRITINGS ON THEORY
Essays and Interviews, Volume 1
TRANSLATED BY CHRIS TURNER
Roland Barthes’s best-known works
include Mythologies (1957), S/Z (1970),
A Lover’s Discourse: Fragments (1977),
Camera Lucida (1980) and the
posthumously printed Incidents, published
in English translation by Seagull Books in
2010.
Roland Barthes, whose centenary falls in 2015, was a constant innovator, often
as a daring smuggler of ideas from one discipline to another. He first gained
an audience with his essays on mass culture and then went on to produce
some of the most suggestive and stimulating cultural criticism of the late twentieth century. In 1976, the one-time structuralist ‘outsider’ was elected to a chair
at the Collège de France, a position he held until his untimely death in 1980.
From his early musings on grammar and his pioneering thoughts on the
sociology of literature, through the high period of structuralism to the beginnings
of a post-structuralist turn in his reflections on Derrida and the creative
contribution of the reader, this first volume of the Essays and Interviews
series suggest a progression that is both straight line and spiral.

Roland Barthes
‘THE “SCANDAL” OF MARXISM’ AND
OTHER WRITINGS ON POLITICS
4
“Borges is arguably
the great bridge
between modernism
and post-modernism
in world literature.”
David Foster Wallace
A large part of Barthes’s published writings have been available to a French
audience since Édition du Seuil’s publication in 2002 of the expanded version
of his Oeuvres complètes, edited by Éric Marty. The present Essays and Interviews series is drawn from that comprehensive source, and attempts to give
English-speaking readers access to the most significant previously untranslated material from the various stages of his career.
The pieces in this volume were mostly written in the 1950s, a period of serious
turbulence in French national life, and range from the theoretical to the cultural
to more pressing political matters of the time, such as de Gaulle’s accession
to power and France’s Algerian War. They also include Barthes’s views on
China, written after his travels there in 1970.

‘SIMPLY A PARTICULAR
CONTEMPORARY’: INTERVIEWS, 1970–79

“The English edition is
good in that the
translator has captured
many twists in the old
man’s Spanish and in his
Argentine quirks.”
This fifth volume in the Essays and Interviews series is entirely given over to
four interviews with Barthes conducted between 1970 and 1979. Varying considerably in style and content, they include a filmed interview made for a
French archive, an appearance on a popular French radio programme, an interview with one of East Asia’s leading cultural theorists for a Japanese literary
magazine and another for an academic journal in the USA.

Engaging in a dialogue that is both improvisational and frequently humorous,
Borges touches on subjects as diverse as epic poetry, detective fiction, Buddhism and the moon landing. With his signature wit, he offers insights into the
philosophical basis of his stories and poems, his fascination with religious mysticism and the idea of life as dream. These recollections are alive to the passage of history, whether in the changing landscape of Buenos Aires or a
succession of political conflicts, leading Borges to contemplate what he describes as his ‘South American destiny’. And they are a testimony to the supple
ways in which Borges explored his relation to numerous traditions.

It was on 30 April 1945 that the Red Army occupied Berlin, Hitler committed
suicide in his underground bunker while the United Nations was being founded
in San Francisco. Alexander Kluge covers this single historic day and unravels
its passing hours across the different theatres of the Second World War,
including the life of a small German town occupied by American forces and
the story of two SS officers stranded on the forsaken Kerguelen Islands. The
collective experiences Kluge paints here are jarring, poignant and imbued with
meaning. Seventy years later, we can still see our own reflections in the
upheaval of a single day in 1945. With additional texts by Reinhard Jirgl, this
is a riveting collection of lives turned upside down by the deadliest war in
history.

Gathered by the translator as a companion volume to Char’s war-time journal
Hypnos, these 40 poems are a representative cross-section of the poet’s
mature work. Neither free translations in the manner of Robert Lowell’s Imitations nor cribs that hunker down in the shadow of a facing page, these new
translations manage to stay remarkably close to the letter of the original while
conveying much of the French poems’ music and beauty, those rhythms and
‘breath-turns’ as intimate to a poet’s style as a human footprint. The poems
come with a brief introduction to Char’s work, and a series of notes setting out
the stories behind some of the poems and pointing to allusions which may not
be immediately familiar to the English-speaking reader.

Anselm Kiefer
NOTEBOOKS, VOLUME 1: 1998–1999
TRANSLATED BY TESS LEWIS
Anselm Kiefer’s is a German painter
and sculptor and one of the most influential
artists of our time. He has produced a
diverse body of work comprising of painting,
sculpture and installation that has made
him one of the most important European
artists of the past four decades.
The power in Anselm Kiefer’s images is rivalled by his writings on nature and
history, literature and antiquity, mysticism and mythology. In this first volume
of his notebooks, Kiefer returns constantly to his touchstones: sixteenthcentury alchemist Robert Fludd, German romantic poet Novalis, Martin
Heidegger, Ingeborg Bachmann and Robert Musil, among others. The entries
reveal the process by which his artworks are informed by his reading—and
vice versa—and track the development of the works he created in the late
1990s. They reveal Kiefer’s strong affinity for language and let readers witness
the process of thoughts, experiences and adventures slowly transcending the
limits of art, achieving meaning in and beyond their medium.

THE ANCHOR’S LONG CHAIN
TRANSLATED BY BEVERLEY BIE BRAHIC
First published in France in 2008, The Anchor’s Long Chain is an indispensable
addition to Yves Bonnefoy’s oeuvre. Enriching his earlier work, the volume
includes an unprecedented sequence of 19 sonnets which combine the
strictness of the form with the freedom to vary line length and create evocative
fragments. Longer, discursive pieces, including the title poem’s meditation on
a prehistoric stone circle and a legend about a ship, are also part of this volume
as are a number of poetic prose pieces. Long-time admirers will find much to
praise here, while newer readers will quickly find themselves under the spell
of Bonnefoy’s emotionally powerful and allusive poetry.

Philippe Jaccottet
OBSCURITY
12
One of Europe’s most prominent and prolific contemporary poets,
Philippe Jaccottet has been celebrated for his translations of works
by Homer, Mandelstam, Goethe, Hölderlin, Rilke, Musil and Ungaretti,
among others. His collected works have been published in the prestigious
Pléiade series.
After several years abroad, a young man returns to his
hometown to find that the man he calls master has abandoned
his wife and child and moved into a squalid one-room flat, cutting
himself off completely from his former life. Reeling from the
discovery, the young man spends an entire night listening to his
master’s bitter denunciation of the ideals they once shared.
Written in 1960 during the author’s period of poetic paralysis, the
novel seeks to harmonize the best and worst of human nature,
reconciling despair, falsehood and lethargy of spirit with the need
to remain open to beauty, truth and the essential goodness of
humankind.

Alice Attie
THESE FIGURES LINING THE HILLS
Alice Attie is an artist and a writer.
Her works on paper are ink drawings, often
composed of words. She has been
photographing for many years and her book
Harlem on the Verge, documenting the
transformations of Harlem, New York, was
published in 2001. Seagull Books has
published her photographs alongside
Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak’s text in
Harlem (2013).
Attie’s inaugural poetry volume is a brilliant and delicate invitation to
collectively ‘bend into silence as we bend into words’. Here, language and the
ineffable inhabit the same liminal space, where words may both ‘be and not
be’ in an oscillation of possibility and wonder. As she observes the motions of
her mind, Attie shapes and reshapes figures to form and reform the collage
of her writing. As we read These Figures Lining the Hills, we enter an
eloquent, philosophically poignant, space of reciprocity where together ‘we
slip into the folds’ of language. Dazzling tributes to the poetics of our time,
Attie’s words are poised to ‘take note’ as we, refugees on this earth, wander
and ‘tremble the horizon’, arriving and departing, in rhythms of triumph and
defeat, again and again and again.

IN THE CONGO
15
Kuno, a male nurse in a Swiss retirement home, has a new inmate—his father.
In the confines of their new home, they do something surprising—they begin
to talk. And Kuno, who had always regarded his father as a boring man, learns
that his father risked his life in the war. Stunned, Kuno embarks on a journey
into his own psyche, into the depths of the Congo where longings awaken and
dreams come true—rays of light in the darkness, meetings with kings and
seductive women and the songs of the jungle. The heart of darkness suddenly
becomes an exciting locale of lunacy, wildness and tests of inner strength.
Weaving through the relationship between not only a father and son but also
Africa and Europe, this novel will turn our notions of colonialism on their heads.

Considered one of the most influential theatre practitioners of the twentieth
century, Polish director Jerzy Grotowski revolutionized contemporary theatre
in multiple ways. In this volume, Laster analyses core aspects of his work such
as body-memory, vigilance, witnessing, verticality and transmission, arguing
that these performance praxes involve a deliberate blurring of the boundaries
of the self and other. A comprehensive study traces key thematic threads
across Grotowski’s research, examining lesser-known aspects of his work,
such as performance compositions structured around African and AfroCaribbean traditional songs and ritual movement as well as textual material
from the Christian Gnostic tradition. As an active process of research and
questioning conducted through the ‘body-being’ of the performer, Grotowski’s
work represents a practical realization of the often highly theoretical and
abstract discussions of one of the field’s main preoccupations—embodied
practice as a way of knowing.

MR ZED'S REFLECTIONS
17
TRANSLATED BY WIELAND HOBAN
Hans Magnus Enzensberger,
often considered Germany’s most important
living poet, is also the editor of the book
series Die Andere Bibliothek and the
founder of the monthly TransAtlantik. His
books include Lighter Than Air: Moral
Poems and Civil Wars: From L.A. to Bosnia.
Any new book by poet, essayist, writer and translator Hans Magnus Enzensberger,
one of the most influential and internationally renowned German intellectuals, is
cause for notice, and Mr Zed’s Reflections is no exception. Every afternoon for
almost a year, a plump man named Mr Zed comes to the same spot in the city
park and engages passers-by with quick-witted repartee. Those who pass ask,
who is this man? A wisecracker, a clown, a belligerent philosopher? Many
shake their heads and move on; others listen to him, engage with him, and,
again and again, end up at the same place. He doesn’t write anything down, but
his listeners often take notes. With subversive energy and masterful brevity, Mr
Zed undermines arrogance, megalomania and false authority. A determined
speaker who doesn’t care for ambitions, he forces topics that others would
rather keep to themselves. Reluctant to trust institutions and seeing absolutely
nothing as ‘non-negotiable’, he admits mistakes and does away with judgement.
He is no mere ventriloquist dummy for his creator—he is too stubborn for that.
And at the end of the season, when it becomes too cold and uncomfortable in
the park, he disappears, never to be seen again.
Collected in this thought-provoking and unique work are the considerations and
provocations of this squat, park-bench philosopher, giving us a volume of truths
and conversations that are clear-cut, sceptical and fiercely illuminating.

SECURE THE BASE
Making Africa Visible in the Globe
Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o is distinguished
professor in the School of Humanities and
director of the International Center for
Writing and Translation at the University of
California, Irvine. He is the author of many
fiction and non-fiction books, including
The River Between (1965) and
Petals of Blood (1977).
Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o has been writing fearlessly about the questions,
challenges, histories and futures of Africans, particularly those of his homeland,
Kenya. In his plays, novels and essays, Ngũgĩ narrates the injustice of colonial
violence and the dictatorial betrayal of decolonization, the fight for freedom
and subsequent incarceration, and the aspiration towards social and economic
equality. He questions the role of language in both the organization of power
structures and the pursuit of autonomy and self-expression. Secure the Base
brings together essays spanning over nearly three decades. Written in a
personal and accessible style, they cover a range of issues, including the role
of the intellectual, labour and political struggles in an era of rampant capitalism,
the legacies of slavery and the prospects for peace. At a time when Africa
looms large in our discussions of globalization, Secure the Base is a mandatory
reading.

R. Siva Kumar
ENCHANTMENT AND ENGAGEMENT
The Murals of K. G. Subramanyan
R. Siva Kumar is an art historian and
curator. He has authored over 15 books on
modern Indian art and curated several
exhibitions including Santiniketan: The
Making of a Contextual Modernism, the
retrospectives K. G. Subramanyan
and Benodebehari, and The Last Harvest:
Paintings of Rabindranath. He is professor
of Art History at Visva Bharati, Santiniketan.
A keen observer of the relationships between art, environment and society in
different traditions, K. G. Subramanyan believes that, besides embellishing
them, murals have to transform the look of buildings and add to their
personality. Like architecture, murals ought to relate to their environment and
address needs that go beyond self-expression. Subramanyan thus harvests
the expressive powers of visual conventions and the different kinds of
sensuousness that visual images can invoke through his controlled use of
language. By employing a visual language or style that is not too loaded
towards one meaning or emotion, he draws us into the image and nudges us
to think. While over the years this has become a pervasive aspect of his work,
it began perhaps in his murals and the desire to make them readable at many
levels, co-created by the artist and the reflective viewers who reinvent it with
every engagement.
Chronologically and photographically documented here for the first time, along
with a detailed introduction and a dialogue with the artist, are Subramanyan’s
murals, from 1955 to the present, inviting us to engage at the same time as
they enchant us with their timeless appeal and beauty.

have been published widely.
I lie and lay my head upon the grass
And unwind the body hardened stiff like glass.
But the tiny blades tickle the lower ear
Making me ask myself, why do I bear
This crass impertinence and sink my head
Still further down its bed of prickly green?
So asks the poet, his ears pressed against the earth as he maps the world
around him in a new geography of sound.
Places, photographs, books, neighbours, afternoons, love, loss and longing
are sketched into word-pictures by artist K. G. Subramanyan as he reflects,

Originally conceived in Marathi for actress Rohini Hattangadi, Jagadamba was
first published in 2010 and attempts to peek into the little-known area of Kasturba's life with Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. It is a unique attempt to chart
the life, in her own voice, of a simple girl from Porbandar who goes on to become the Universal Mother in her role as the wife of the Mahatma. Jagadamba
has been performed in Marathi, Hindi and English in India and abroad.

Heisnam Kanhailal
THEATRE OF THE EARTH
The Works of Heisnam Kanhailal
Essays and Interviews
Heisnam Kanhailal is a theatre
director from Manipur, whose work is at the
forefront of contemporary Indian theatre.
With his group Kalakshetra Manipur and
Sabitri Devi, his leading actress and
collaborator, he has covered new grounds
in the use of vigorously physical, non-verbal
and gestural theatre.
Heisnam Kanhailal’s theatre is an expression of the self as well as a reflection
of society. His theatre is deeply embedded not only in his philosophy but the
experiences of a region and its people. Yet, the uniquely Manipuri experience
is something more universal, more human. In this one of its kind anthology,
readers get a sense of all aspects of Kanhailal’s methods of ‘theatre-making’
as well as his team’s various notable productions—through his words, through
his partner/collaborator Sabitri Devi’s words and through the observations of
scholars and researchers who have studied the works and the legendary
maker.
‘[T]his is not a conventional book written by a single author. It is more an
anthology of writings by and on Kanhailal including interviews with him and
Sabitri Devi and writing on his work, . . . The book reflects the nature of
Kanhailal’s theatre, which is a collective expression and experience stemming
from the collaboration of director, actors, technicians and spectators.’—H. S.
Shiva Prakash, renowned playwright and poet.

Prize (1995), the
Bertolt Brecht Literature Prize (2004) and,
most recently, the Prix du meilleur livre
étranger 2015 (Category Essay).
A mesmerizing travel diary—a sprawling tale of earthly wonders seen by a
wandering eye. An exquisite, lyrically told travel story, this unique account
follows Ransmayr across the globe: from the shadow of Java’s volcanoes to
the rapids of the Mekong and Danube, from the drift ice of the Arctic Circle to
Himalayan passes, and on to the disenchanted islands of the South Pacific.
Ransmayr begins again and again with, ‘I saw . . .’ recounting to the reader
the stories of continents, eras and landscapes of the soul. Like maps, the
episodes come together to become a book of the world—one that charts the
life and death, happiness and fate of people bound up in images of breathtaking beauty.
