Review Highlights
Title: Cures for Modernity: Medicine in Interwar Russian and Czech Literature and Cinema by Julia Sutton-Mattocks
Review by: Melissa L. Miller, Colby College
“This monograph makes an original and significant scholarly contribution, in addition to being a gripping read. Not only is it the first book in English to compare Russian and Czechoslovak literature and film of the interwar period in such a comprehensive way, but it does so via the growing discipline of the medical humanities. The book’s greatest strength is its attention to detail, exemplified by Sutton-Mattocks’s close readings of the medical implications of the creative works she selects.”

Title: Sprache und literarische Gestalt des Buches Deuteronomium by Georg Braulik & Norbert Lohfink
Review by: Miroslav Varšo
“Bez preháňania možno konštatovať, že žiadny seriózny komentár ku Knihe Deuteronómium sa v budúcnosti bez spomenutých dvoch monografií nezaobíde. Aj preto ich možno pokladať za prelomové štúdie a v biblickej vede sa iste zaradia medzi klasické manuály. Na záver nemožno nevyjadriť hlbokú vďaku obom autorom, G. Braulikovi a N. Lohfinkovi, za celoživotné úsilie a lásku, s akou pracovali a pracujú s biblickými textami, a prirovnať ich k znalcom Písiem, učeníkom, ktorí sa nesmiernym úsilím a hlbokou pokorou dopracovali k pokladom a ako dobrí hospodári po celý život vynášajú zo svojej pokladnice veci nové i staré”

Title: Gesture in French Post-New Wave Cinema by François Giraud
Review by: Janet Harbord, Queen Mary University of London
“François Giraud’s book is a prismatic contribution to an enquiry that has developed over the past two decades into the significance of gesture in cinema. […] There is something fresh and energized in the exploration of this idea in the relatively small pocket of films that constitute the post-New Wave cinema, understood both as the generation of filmmakers who came after the French New Wave, and as those who were politicized by the events of May ’68.”

Title: Misbeliefs about Autonomy: The Constitutionality of the Autonomy of Szeklerland by Attila Dabis
Review by: Benedikt Harzl
“So lässt sich zusammenfassend sagen, dass Misbeliefs about Autonomy eine wertvolle und bereichernde Ergänzung zur bestehenden Fachliteratur im Bereich nationaler Minderheiten im Kontext von Recht und Politik darstellt. Für Forscher als auch Praktiker, welche sich mit der Grundthematik auseinandersetzen, bietet das Werk fundierte Einblicke in ein – und das hat bedauerlicherweise festgehalten zu werden – weitgehend unterbelichtetes Thema.”
