    Abstract: Picta Nilotica Romana presents an in-depth analysis of Roman paintings with a Nilotic theme. The first part of the study introduces the classical texts on Egypt and provides an overview of landscape depiction in Roman art. After an outline of methodology, an iconographic-archaeological catalogue of the 74 paintings is developed, founded on specific scientific criteria, with a classification into three categories according to iconographic composition. The corpus is followed by an analysis of the archaeological contexts in which these paintings are found, an analysis of Nilotic iconographies and a definition of the 'Nilotic landscape'. The volume is also completed by an iconographic apparatus and several maps showing geographical and chronological spread

    Abstract: Edited by Martin Biddle with a catalogue of the known coins of the mint by Yvonne Harvey, this volume records and illustrates the minting of silver pennies in Winchester between the reigns of Alfred the Great and Henry III, a period of three and a half centuries. At the Mint, which was situated in the area of the High Street to the east of where the city’s cross now stands, at least 24 million silver pennies (possibly as many as 50 million) were struck. Five and a half thousand survive in museums and collections all over the world. These have been sought out and photographed (some 3200 coins in 6400 images detailing both sides), and minutely catalogued by Yvonne Harvey for this volume. 〈br〉〈br〉 During the period from late in the reign of Alfred to the time of Henry III, dies for striking the coins were produced centrally under royal authority in the most sophisticated system of monetary control at the time in the western world. In this first account of a major English mint to have been made in forty years, a team of leading authorities have studied and analysed the use the Winchester moneyers made of the dies, and together with the size, weight, and the surviving number of coins from each pair of dies, have produced a detailed account of the varying fortunes of the mint over this period. Their results are critical for the economic history of England and the changing status of Winchester over this long period, and provide the richest available source for the history of the name of the city and the personal names of its citizens in the later Anglo-Saxon period

    Abstract: Der politischen Unabhängigkeit der Medien wird in heutigen Demokratien höchste Bedeutung zugemessen. Doch weder die Demokratie noch unabhängige Medien sind selbstverständlich – und sie waren es auch noch nie. An Beispielen aus Deutschland und Großbritannien beschreibt Ute Daniel, wie wechselhaft und unvorhersehbar die Beziehungen zwischen Politiker_innen und politischen Journalist_innen sind, wie kontextabhängig das Kräftespiel. Und sie zeigt, dass dessen vergangene Ausprägungen oft gar nichts an aktueller Relevanz eingebüßt haben. Auch heute beschäftigen sich demokratische Gesellschaften mit journalistischem Informantenschutz und der Bedeutung von Whistleblowern, mit dem Einfluss der Medienmogule auf die Politik und den gesetzlichen Rahmenbedingungen für elektronische Massenmedien

    Abstract: Der G20-Gipfel 2017 in Hamburg ist nicht wegen der vielfältigen Protestformen oder der dort verhandelten Themen in Erinnerung geblieben, sondern vor allem wegen der gewaltsamen Ausschreitungen und Konfrontationen mit der Polizei. Die Beiträge dieses Bandes analysieren die Dynamiken der damaligen Eskalation. Dabei rekonstruieren die Autor:innen Vorgeschichte und Verlauf der Gewalt und die Rolle der (sozialen) Medien, sie nehmen die politische sowie die rechtliche Aufarbeitung in den Blick und beleuchten den polizeilichen Umgang mit Protest. Die Ereignisse um den G20-Gipfel in Hamburg werden so zu einer analytischen Linse, um Eskalationsprozesse und das Verhältnis von Protest und Gewalt besser zu verstehen. Mit Beiträgen von u.a. aus dem Forschungsprojekt Mapping #NoG20 und von Rafael Behr, Priska Daphi, Donatella della Porta, Wilhelm Heitmeyer, Wolfgang Knöbl, Jan Philipp Reemtsma und Matthias Wahlström

    Abstract: Climate change is increasingly contested on financial terms. Different actors are advancing competing climate visions and interests by adopting financial positions. International institutions urge action by identifying financing gaps needed to meet climate targets. The finance sector claims it holds the key to unlocking money needed for climate investment. Activists expose greenwashing while using financial tactics to undermine fossil fuels. Vulnerable countries demand wealthy governments repay historical climate debts.This book offers an accessible and critical guide to the political economy and economic geography of climate finance. It identifies six competing ""positions"" of climate finance to make sense of the array of financial instruments, institutions and ideas that are remaking the relationship between capitalism and climate change. Using a wide range of case studies, from green bonds, to divestment, carbon offsetting, climate tech, central banks, and international climate funds, the authors show how climate finance is shaping our collective climate futures

    Abstract: Advances in UAE Archaeology details the results of new excavations conducted across the United Arab Emirates over the last few years. These excavations have revealed a wealth of new data on all periods of UAE archaeology from the Palaeolithic to the recent past. Some of these discoveries have filled in important gaps in our knowledge, while others have fundamentally revised what we thought we knew already. For example, the Marawah Island excavations have added a new facet to our understanding of the Neolithic period by revealing intriguing and hitherto unknown funerary rituals. Excavations in Al Ain in the emirate of Abu Dhabi continue to reveal extraordinary evidence of emgt falaj emgirrigation, stretching back 3000 years. The ubiquity of this system across this oasis city further validates its status as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Of particular importance is the discovery of extensive remains from the Late Pre-Islamic period, a significant time in history that has been best revealed in the excavations at Mleiha in the emirate of Sharjah.The research presented here was conducted by specialists from across the world working alongside an ever-growing cadre of Emirati archaeologists who will take the lead in the coming years in revealing more of this country’s extraordinary archaeology and history

    Abstract: Augustin Bea war nicht nur das ökumenische Gesicht des Zweiten Vatikanums, sondern eine der prägenden Gestalten der katholischen Bibelwissenschaft seiner Zeit. Das wissenschaftliche und kirchenpolitische Handeln des deutschen Jesuiten ermöglicht Einblicke in die wechselvolle Geschichte römischer Bibelexegese im Schatten des Vatikans. Beas Ringen mit Tradition und Moderne bestimmte den kirchlichen Kurs: Wie begegnete der Alttestamentler historischer und naturwissenschaftlicher Kritik an der Bibel? Welche Rolle spielte er bei der kirchlichen Buchzensur? Ermöglichte ihm seine Tätigkeit Kontakte über den katholischen Binnenraum hinaus? Und was verleitete Pius XII. dazu, mitten im Krieg die Bibelenzyklika „Divino afflante Spiritu“ zu veröffentlichen? Diesen Fragen geht Michael Pfister auf der Grundlage bisher unbekannter Dokumente nach und wirft ein neues Licht auf den späteren „Kardinal der Einheit“

    Abstract: Mit kritischer Distanz beschreibt Halter die Einsetzung des NS-Oberbürgermeisters Dr. Schottenheim nach der Machtergreifung, die Berufung linientreuer Parteigenossen in das Ratsherrenkollegium und die nahezu nahtlose Übernahme der überwiegend schon in der Zeit der Weimarer Republik tätigen kommunalen Spitzenbeamten in Regensburg. Er schildert faktenreich und anschaulich die Entwicklung im Städtebau und Verkehrswesen sowie den vom NS-Staat durch Industrieansiedlungen vorangetriebenen wirtschaftlichen Aufschwung der Stadt. Halter verschweigt nicht, wie sich der NS-Terror einer willfährigen Stadtverwaltung bediente und diese bis in die letzten Kriegstage den Arbeitseinsatz von Kriegsgefangenen und KZ-Häftlingen organisierte.Aufgrund des erstmals vorliegenden Quellenmaterials aus den Beständen des Stadtarchivs, darunter zahlreiche persönliche Notizen der beiden Bürgermeister und der übrigen städtischen Spitzenbeamten, gelingt Helmut Halter der Nachweis, dass die Stadt unterm Hakenkreuz weit weniger von Staat und Partei gelenkt wurde, als man bisher angenommen hatte

    Abstract: Metalworkers and their Tools brings together 12 papers by 22 authors from the “Metools” international symposium organised in at Queens University, Belfast in June 2016 as part of the HardRock project “Between a Rock and a Hard Place: context, function, and choice of early metalworking tools on Europe’s Atlantic façade” (Marie Skłodowska Curie, No. 623392) and the “Metal Ages in Europe” commission of the International Union of Pre- and Protohistoric Sciences (UISPP). Its aim was to shine a spotlight on the tools of the metalworker and to follow their evolution from the beginning of the Bronze Age through to the Iron Age, as well as the place held by metalworking and its artisans in the economic and social landscape of the period

    Abstract: Interrogates and explores African literature in African languages today, and the continuing interfaces between works in indigenous languages and those written in European languages or languages of colonizers. Sixty years after the Conference of African Writers of English Expression at Makerere University, the dominance in the global canon of African literatures written in European languages over those in indigenous languages continues to be an issue. This volume of re-examines this central question of African literatures to ask, What is the state of African literatures in African languages today? Contributors discuss the translation of Gurnah's novel Paradise to Swahili, and Osemwegies ;Ọrọ Epic;lt; to English, and Wolof wrestlers panegyrics. They analyse Edo eco-critical poetry, and the poetics of Igbo mask poetry, and morality in early prose fiction in indigenous Nigerian languages. Other essays contribute a semiotic analysis of Duruaku ;A Matter of Identity, and the decolonization of trauma in Uwem Akpan Say Youre One of Them. Overall, the volume paints a complex image of African cultural production in indigenous languages, especially in the ways Africas oral performance traditions remain resilient in the face of a seemingly undiminished presence of non-African language literary traditions

    Abstract: The Search for Wellbeing and Health between the Middle Ages and the Early Modern Period compiles a series of works on cosmetics and health care, covering different geographical areas of Europe. The studies also focus on different cultures, with some chapters dedicated to the Hebrew sphere, others to the Muslim world, and a larger percentage dealing with Christian society. The contributions make use of some very important written sources: recipe books and treatises on medicine and cosmetics, especially those preserved from the Late Middle Ages (13th-15th centuries) onwards. These manuscripts reveal the raw materials used to make certain products, whose origin could be vegetable, animal or mineral. Many were used to combat various ailments, but also to take care of the body aesthetically. Thus, there are remedies to heal the eyes; to avoid problems with the teeth and to make them shine white; creams and soaps for the skin; hair dyes to avoid grey hair; lotions to combat baldness; and even diverse gastronomic recipes to obtain inner wellbeing. Other contributions take a more practical perspective. Studies are included in which some of the ingredients and products are explored through experimental archaeology (chemical analysis) and faunal remains obtained from archaeological campaigns are analysed in the laboratory, showing the Christian diet. Overall the book demonstrates the importance of healthcare and cosmetics in past societies that had very significant technical knowledge of a multitude of completely natural and sustainable products

    Abstract: From Hydrology to Hydroarchaeology in the Ancient Mediterranean: An interdisciplinary approach is devoted to the study of water management in ancient cities. It compares the approaches and methods adopted by researchers from different disciplinary sectors to identify the water conditions of past societies and to highlight the measures they have taken to adapt to their water resources. Deriving from an interdisciplinary meeting held in Aix-en-Provence (Mediterranean House of Human Sciences) in 2019, it brings together seven articles that present the innovative results of collaborations between archaeologists and environmental scientists, geologists, geomorphologists, and climatologists in particular. After an introduction that situates the discussions conducted in Aix-en-Provence within the framework of the Watertraces project, funded by the A*Midex foundation (Aix-Marseille University), most of the articles focus on the Sicilian situation. An initial synthesis covers all aspects of the question, followed by four case studies ranging from the 4th century BC to the 1st century AD. Case studies on Agrigento, Termini Imerese/Thermai Himerenses, Alesa/Halaesa, Solunte and Tyndaris are presented. The focus then moves to southern Italy (the Terme di Baia), and to Aegean Greece (the sanctuary at Delphi)

    Abstract: The appearance of new media and its enormous diffusion in the last decades of the 20th century and up to the present has greatly increased and diversified the reception of Egyptian themes and motifs and Egyptian influence in various cultural spheres. So-called ‘popular’ or ‘pop’ culture (cinema, genre fiction, TV-series, comics, graffiti, computer and video games, rock and heavy music, radio serials, among others) often makes use of narratives and motifs drawn from the observation and study of ancient Egypt, updated and reinterpreted in various ways, and which is now the subject of study by scholars of Egyptology. The present monograph seeks to provide new evidence of this interdisciplinarity between Egyptology and popular culture. It explores the conscious reinterpretation of the past in the work of contemporary authors, who shape an image of the Egyptian reality that in each case is determined by their own circumstances and contexts

    Abstract: This book focuses on the variety of strategies developed by women athletes in the Pacific Islands to claim contested sporting spaces – in particular, rugby union, soccer, beach volleyball, recreational sports and exercise – as a prism to explore grassroots women’s engagement with heavily entrenched postcolonial (hetero)patriarchy. Based on primary research conducted in Fiji, Samoa, Solomon Islands, and Vanuatu, the book investigates contested sporting spaces as sites of infrapolitics intersected primarily by gender and also by other markers of inequality, including ethnicity, sexuality, class and geopolitics. Contrary to historical and contemporary representations of Pacific Island women as victims of gender injustice, it explores how these athletes and those who support them actively carve out space for their transformative agency. Pacific IslandWomen and Contested Sporting Spaces: Staking Their Claim focuses on a region underexamined by sport or gender studies researchers and will be of key interest to scholars and students in Gender Studies, Sport Studies, Sociology and Pacific Studies as well as sport practitioners and policymakers

    Abstract: Untersucht wird, ob das Studium der Erwachsenenpädagogik ausreichend medienpädagogisches Orientierungswissen vermittelt. Die Dissertation basiert auf der These, dass eine systematischen Medienbildung im Hochschulstudium für die Ausübung des Berufs gebraucht wird und zur Professionalisierung des Berufsbilds beiträgt. Auf Basis eines qualitativen Studiendesigns werden medienpädagogische Professionalisierungsstrategien in Bachelor- und Masterstudiengängen an ausgewählten Hochschulstandorten in Deutschland erforscht. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die medienpädagogische Professionalisierung in den untersuchten Studiengängen häufig auf studentischer Eigenleistung basiert. Weil keine systematische Verbindung zwischen Erwachsenenbildung und Medienpädagogik in den Lehrangeboten hergestellt wird, müssen die Studierenden den Transfer eigenständig herstellen, um - im Idealfall - medienpädagogische Kompetenzen aufzubauen

    Abstract: This collection of essays constitutes a timely intervention into contemporary debates on emotions, gender, race and power. Interrogating how emotional expectations are established as gendered, racialised and class-based notions, the volume explores the ways these expectations have been generated, stratified and maintained by institutions, societies, media and those with access to power.The collection draws upon a diverse set of case studies to present a chronologically and geographically broad intervention. The authors identify and explore connections between the depiction of twentieth-century transnational feminists, settler colonies in southern Africa, post-unification Italy, Maoist China, the twentieth-century Soviet Union and the medicalized spaces of the British Raj. Contributions also move across time from notions of eighteenth-century British masculinity, through Victorian Britain and whiteness in settler colonialism, to the Liverpool docks of the 1990s and contemporary Russia. Collectively, the volume’s authors seek to understand how the normalisation of emotions as a range of gendered qualities forms the basis upon which notions of self, and connectedly, social identities are performed. As such, this is an important contribution to the history of emotions that addresses how gender and emotions are formed as co-constituents within dominant power structures, in different geographic and temporal spaces

    Abstract: The volume presents research that emerges from the 9th International Adult Education Academy (2022), which brings together researchers, students and practitioners from around the world to share perspectives comparatively. More than 80 participants from almost 20 different countries have exchanged, compared and expanded their individual knowledge and experience on adult learning and education. This volume consisting of eight contributions (including one fundamental article beforehand) assumes that globalisation affects national, regional and local levels of adult learning and education. Transformational relations are observed and analysed through the lens of participation, sustainability and digitalisation. All contributions apply an international comparative research approach to empirically investigate these areas with their upcoming needs. This approach takes place under consideration of comparison as a research method which not only grounds on a long tradition and relies on a set of rules and techniques, but also on an inner attitude and sensitivity with which we look at the world and its global needs while trying to understand

    Abstract: In diesem Buch wird der politisch-ästhetische Diskurs über öffentliche Gebäude im Berlin des 19. und beginnenden 20. Jahrhunderts nachgezeichnet. Mit einem interdisziplinären Ansatz werden ästhetische Merkmale der Architektur in Bezug zu politischen Aussagen und Handlungen gesetzt. In ‚Disziplinaranstalten‘ wie Kasernen, Schulen und Krankenhäusern, in Stätten des ‚Wahren, Schönen und Guten‘ wie Museen, Theatern und Wissenschaftseinrichtungen, in der Architekturtheorie und im öffentlichen Wohnungs- und Städtebau wird dem Verhältnis von Ästhetik und Politik nachgespürt. Dabei treten die zeitgenössische Suche nach einem ‚deutschen Stil‘ nach ‚Reinheit‘ und ‚Einheit‘ und schließlich die ‚vaterländische Verantwortung‘ für die ‚Wehrhaftigkeit‘ der Bevölkerung deutlich zu Tage. Die Architektur spiegelt die politischen Veränderungen im Kaiserreich von der Reichseinigung mit ‚Blut und Eisen‘ bis zum aggressiv formulierten Anspruch auf einen ‚Platz an der Sonne‘ deutlich wider

    Abstract: The plight of Vietnamese migrants in the UK has featured prominently in recent media and public policy debates on modern slavery, illegal border crossings, and labour exploitation. Yet little attention has been paid to their subjective experiences of border crossings, nor the wide range of categories they pass between. Vietnamese migrants coming to the UK in search of work face a complex array of decisions surrounding the respective costs and risks related to a chosen migration route which must be weighed against personal and collective expectations. These complex decisions are compounded by a shifting and highly stratified immigration and borders regime which renders migrants more vulnerable through restricting rights and increasing surveillance. This chapter explores the experiences and imaginaries of the UK border among migrants who have crossed the UK border, as well as those who intend to make the journey. We explore the contrast between the expectations and realities of UK borders through in-depth interviews with Vietnamese migrants. We argue, notwithstanding knowledge of the risks involved in border crossings and the hostile border enforcement regime, imaginations of opportunities for transforming local livelihoods remain powerful and deep-seated political and cultural narratives for Vietnamese migrants

    Abstract: This study examines the ‘travel’ of political concepts between women's movements in the West around 1900 and argues that for the historical analysis of social movements, regardless of whether they were transnationally active or not, the exploration of the transfer practices that create spaces of exchange across linguistic and other borders is of eminent importance. It takes the biographical case of German feminist Käthe Schirmacher to explore political travelling, transnational journalism and translation as forms of transfer within and between social and political movements. The book analyses the political and pragmatic contexts of activist translation, discussing practices such as the rendering of political and literary texts, interpreting at transnational meetings and translating excerpts from foreign-language activist literature
    Abstract: Diese Studie untersucht die ‚Reisen‘ politischer Konzepte zwischen Frauenbewegungen des Westens um 1900 und postuliert, dass für die historische Analyse sozialer Bewegungen, unabhängig davon, ob diese transnational aktiv waren oder nicht, die Auseinandersetzung mit Transferpraktiken, die Räume des Austauschs über sprachliche und andere Grenzen hinweg schaffen, von eminenter Bedeutung ist. Anhand einer biografischen Fallstudie zur deutschen Feministin Käthe Schirmacher werden politische Reisetätigkeit, transnationaler Journalismus und Übersetzung als einflußreiche aber häufig wenig sichtbare Formen des Transfers in und zwischen sozialen und politischen Bewegungen thematisiert. Das Buch analysiert insbesondere die politischen und pragmatischen Kontexte aktivistischer Übersetzung und erörtert dabei Praktiken wie die Übertragung politischer und literarischer Texte, Dolmetschen bei transnationalen Treffen und übersetzendes Exzerpieren aus fremdsprachigem aktivistischem Schriftgut

    Keywords: History ; Border Enforcement; Borderlands; Borderscapes; Brexit; Nationality and Borders Bill; Resistance Sites; UK Borders
    Abstract: This book analyses bordering practices and their negative effects as well as the many creative and often grassroots ways in which borders are resisted and reinvented. From the hostile environment to Brexit and the Nationality and Borders Bill, the UK border regime has become increasingly strict and complex, operating both at the edge of the state and within everyday life in unprecedented ways. At the same time, this securitisation approach is often contested, and its effects are fought daily by many groups and individuals. This book explores this tension, documenting and analysing how the contemporary UK border is imagined, constructed, deconstructed, and reconstructed in multiple ways. To draw together the different pieces that compose this evolving and conflicting landscape, this book uses the concept of "borderscapes", which views borders as sites of multiple tensions between hegemonic, non-hegemonic, and counter-hegemonic imaginaries and practices. This lens enables contributors to draw a multifocal overview of the UK border that includes the different human and material actors that form it, the spaces and practices they shape, and the imaginaries and counter-imaginaries that emerge from their conflictual encounters. Bringing together contributions by researchers from a variety of disciplines, this book will be of interest to scholars and students in the fields of migration and border studies, refugee studies, human geography, criminology, sociology, and anthropology

    Abstract: The edition of Leo Thun-Hohenstein's diary allows an intimate look at the early years of the later reformer of Austrians education system. Dealing with foreign cultures and questioning social norms characterized Thun's adventurous youth as a high aristocrat and allowed him to grow into a socially committed politician who, after the revolutions of 1848, was to help determine the fate of the Habsburg Empire. A biography of Thun and a source-critical analysis provide additional information on the environment of this fascinating personality
    Abstract: Die Edition des Tagebuches von Leo Thun-Hohenstein erlaubt einen intimen Blick auf die frühen Lebensjahre des späteren Reformers des österreichischen Bildungswesens. Die Beschäftigung mit fremden Kulturen und das Hinterfragen gesellschaftlicher Normen bestimmten Thuns abenteuerliche Jugend als Hocharistokrat und ließen ihn zu einem sozial engagierten Politiker heranwachsen, der nach den Revolutionen von 1848 die Geschicke des Habsburgerreiches mitbestimmen sollte. Eine Biographie Thuns sowie eine quellenkritische Analyse liefern Zusatzinformationen zum Umfeld dieser faszinierenden Persönlichkeit

    Abstract: The Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has probably been the most important disease to emerge in the 21st century. This viral zoonotic disease has been a significant cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, but with a higher impact in low- and middle-income countries of Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Up to December 4, 2022, more than 645,195,564 cases had been reported globally, with 6,640,845 deaths, and more than 13,054,668,703 doses of a vaccine had been given. Research has been of the utmost importance in the COVID-19 crisis: a great deal of knowledge was gathered between December 2019 and December 2022. Appropriate evidence-based management and the development of safe and effective vaccines have been key to controlling the virus. This book presents a selection of the last two years’ learning from research and clinical practice concerning SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19

    Abstract: After Commodore Matthew Perry’s U.S. Navy ships arrived on its shores in the 1850s, Japan entered an age of rapid modernization and soon became the first Asian nation with a military and industry on par with Western imperialist countries in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. While grappling with the effects of rapid Western-inspired modernization, the Japanese searched for their cultural identity, increasingly turning to their past as well as to China for inspiration. This book’s essays, by scholars from the United States, Japan, and Europe, look beyond Western industrialization to examine China’s role in forming Japan’s modern identity. The volume follows a retrospective of the Japanese nun, calligrapher, potter, and political activist Ōtagaki Rengetsu (1791–1875) and the modern Japanese painter Tomioka Tessai (1836–1924) on view in late 2022 at the Freer Gallery of Art of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Asian Art in Washington, D.C

    Abstract: The Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1690 became the first government in the Western world to print paper money, the imagery for which initiated an indigenous American art form of remarkable dynamism and originality. After the Revolutionary War, disillusioned by how quickly its promiscuous printing of Continental currency had led to hyperinflation, the U.S. government left it to private institutions such as state-chartered banks to carry on this artistic American tradition. Adorned with a vast variety of images, bank notes soon became the fledgling country’s primary currency. With pressures of the Civil War, the federal government in 1861 began taking charge of the paper-money supply by creating a national currency; simultaneously, the Confederate States of America was creating a competing self-image, making heavy use of bank-note vignettes. Later, collaboration between government engravers and well-known artists on the 1896 Silver Certificates marked the apex of U.S. government currency design. For two centuries, American creativity and technical ingenuity resulted in imagery on paper money that helped create and enhance the nation’s imagined self

    Abstract: Wie kleine Betriebe die Weiterbildungen für ihre Mitarbeitenden organisieren und finanzieren, entscheiden die Geschäftsführer:innen. Von welchen Einflüssen sie sich leiten lassen, rekonstruiert Christian Müller in seiner Dissertation. Mit der Grounded Theory analysiert er anhand qualitativer Interviews die Weiterbildungsentscheidungen in Klein- und Kleinstunternehmen verschiedener Branchen. In Anlehnung an das Garbage Can Model erweisen sich diese Entscheidungen vielfach als nicht linear, nicht rational und nicht planvoll. Die Analysen belegen, wie sehr situative Passung und Formalisierung, persönliche Intuition, Bildungserfahrungen und Werte aber auch Spezifika der Branche die Entscheidungen beeinflussen. In der Zusammenführung differenziert der Autor fünf Entscheidungstypen: planvoll-routiniert, inkrementell-pragmatisch, strategisch-achtsam, progressiv-partizipativ und puristisch-funktional. Als Pars pro Toto lassen sich aus den Ergebnissen Rückschlüsse über Weiterbildungsentscheidungen und -teilnahmen in Deutschland ziehen

    Abstract: Why is the tea-room entrance, or nijiriguchi, so narrow? How did the practice of “passing the bowl,” or mawashinomi, come about? And what hidden meaning lies behind the ritual purification of hands and mouth, or chōzu? Chanoyu, the art of preparing tea, developed against a backdrop of social turmoil in late medieval Japan. Through the singular figure of Sen no Rikyū, it found expression as wabi-cha, or wabi tea, the foundation of Japanese tea culture today. Here, scholar and curator Kumakura Isao investigates the unique cultural value of tea. He examines its rituals and behaviors, elaborates its structure, spaces, and style, and delves into the history of everything from the tea whisk to the tea room itself. Drawing on folklore studies and performing-arts history, Kumakura develops a new perspective on Japan’s culture of tea

    Abstract: Since their discovery in 1945, the significance of the texts contained in the thirteen papyrus manuscripts now known as the Nag Hammadi Codices has been fiercely debated. In the history of scholarship, the texts have primarily been analyzed in light of the contexts of their hypothetical Greek originals, which in a majority of cases have been thought to have been authored in the second and third centuries CE in a variety of contexts. The articles in this volume take a different approach. Instead of focusing on hypothetical originals, they ask how the texts may have been used and understood by those who read the Coptic papyrus codices in which the texts have been preserved and take as their point of departure recent research indicating that these manuscripts were produced and used by early Egyptian monastics. It is shown that the reading habits and theological ideas attested historically for Upper Egyptian monasticism in the fourth and fifth centuries resonate well with several of the texts within the Nag Hammadi Codices

    Abstract: Western Mesoamerican Calendars and Writing Systems draws together studies by some of the world’s leading experts presented at a conference held in December 2020, ‘The Origins and Developments of Central Mexican Calendars and Writing Systems’. Mesoamerica is one of the few places to witness the independent invention of writing. From the earliest attestations of this intellectual feat in the Late Preclassic period 900 bc-ad 150), writing spread throughout Mesoamerica, developing and diversifying into a series of distinct and independent scripts. With the exception of the celebrated phonetic decipherments of Maya and Aztec writing, which are now well-documented and can be fully read, most Mesoamerican writing systems remain little studied and undeciphered. This is particularly true of the writing systems of Western Mesoamerica, the topic of this volume.Bringing together new research on Western Mesoamerican writing systems, some contributions focus on specific features of a given writing system, whereas others offer state-of-the-art syntheses of whole writing systems. Two contributions focus on the calendar in particular, and associated notations, as integral parts of writing systems. Chapters are included on the writing system of Teotihuacan, the Ñuiñe writing of the Mixteca Baja and adjoining areas, the writing system of the Epiclassic period and Aztec writing of the Postclassic. These writing systems represent more than a millennium of written records and literacy in Mesoamerica, spanning from the Early Classic to the Late Postclassic (from the 2nd to the sixteenth centuries ad). Aztec writing even continued in use for several decades after the Spanish invasion of Mexico (ad 1519-1521), which saw the introduction of the Latin alphabet and the gradual obsolescence of Mesoamerican logophonetic writing systems

    Abstract: Cultural throughlines delineate the ways in which contemporary artistry, new works, and creative methods can be appreciated and seen as a “tri-vision tradition” (then, now, and when) as they tie into cultural linkages from our past and suggest our future. What is new are today’s social languages, platforms, movements, and fluidity, all of which lead to discussions that anticipate ever-changing cultural shifts and create dialogue about cultural practices. It’s about living and how we do culture: what it is, what it means, and why. Questions arise about what we as artists value (identity, creative voice, survival). How do we get there? And what do everyday people value and care about? The book examines a little cultural theory, a little ritual formation, and a lot of “how is any of this sustainable?” It is a collection of ideas from creative thinkers on the role of the arts and concepts that define and carry societal value. We consider life a gift, and the works that people put forward to continually transform our time and celebrate these gifts in life can make a difference in the ways we live
    Abstract: "What are the connective tissues that make human narratives thread and relate; values, heritage expressions, and how these define and sustain people. As a research associate with the Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage (CFCH), the editor's work focuses on what he identifies as cultural throughlines, delineating the ways in which contemporary artistry, new works and creative methods, can better be appreciated and seen as "tri vision tradition"( then, now and when) as they harken back and tie into critical cultural linkages from our past which suggests our future. While that's not so new, what is new is the social languages, platforms, movements and the fluidity today, necessitating discussions which anticipates ever changing cultural shifts. So you don't end up having a stationary praxis but a dialogue about cultural practices. It's always about living, how we do culture, what it is and means and why. Then it moves to more basic questions about what we as artists care about, what we value( identity, creative voice, survival), how do we get there, and the final question is, what do the everyday people value and care about? To have a collection of ideas from creative thinkers on the role of arts and ideas that define and carry societal value is important work. Because we consider life a gift, and so the work people put forward to continually transform our time and celebrate the gifts in life can make a difference in the ways we actually live"--

    Abstract: Studying the dialogue between literature and philosophy in the Spanish exile in Latin America requires a historiographical effort, since the exile is framed in a historical before and after: in the "before" of its traditional context, that of the ideas belonging to the place of origin prior to exile. These ideas, capable of developing or changing in the "after" of the post-exile world (in this case, the Spanish-American world), give life to the poetic and philosophical works gestated in the land where the exiles found the protection and shelter of a new homeland: Argentina, Colombia, Cuba, Mexico, Venezuela. This book offers interdisciplinary elements to map the paths in which a group of authors whose life and work was marked, directly or indirectly, by the experience of exile cross: Max Aub, Luis Cernuda, José Gaos, Manuel García Morente, Juan Larrea , Eduardo Nicol, Alfonso Reyes, Josep Solanes and María Zambrano. The texts thematize the work, context, and influences of writers, poets, and philosophers who arrived in Latin America fleeing political persecution and the Civil War in Spain. Many of the exiles saw in the nation that welcomed them the opportunity for a new beginning, others, on the other hand, the place of eternal nostalgia and permanent mourning for their lost home. In all cases, this circumstance was reflected in the work of the exile authors discussed here, in their efforts to reinvent literature, philosophy or the relationship between the two, as well as in their contributions to the dissemination of these two disciplines in organs cultural institutions such as educational institutions, publishing houses and magazines
    Abstract: "Estudiar el diálogo entre literatura y filosofía en el exilio español en Hispanoamérica requiere de un esfuerzo historiográfico, pues el exilio está enmarcado en un antes y un después histórico: en el "antes" de su contexto tradicional, el de las ideas pertenecientes al lugar de origen previo al destierro. Estas ideas, susceptibles de desarrollarse o cambiar en el "después" del ámbito posterior al destierro (en este caso el mundo hispanoamericano), dan vida a las obras poéticas y filosóficas gestadas en la tierra donde los desterrados encontraron la protección y el abrigo de un nuevo terruño: Argentina, Colombia, Cuba, México, Venezuela. Este libro ofrece elementos interdisciplinarios para mapear los caminos en los que se cruza un grupo de autores cuya vida y obra estuvo marcada, directa o indirectamente, por la experiencia del exilio: Max Aub, Luis Cernuda, José Gaos, Manuel García Morente, Juan Larrea, Eduardo Nicol, Alfonso Reyes, Josep Solanes y María Zambrano. Los textos tematizan la obra, contexto e influencias de literatos, poetas y filósofos que arribaron a Hispanoamérica huyendo de la persecución política y de la Guerra Civil en España. Muchos de los exiliados vieron en la nación que los acogía la oportunidad de un nuevo comienzo, otros, en cambio, el lugar de la nostalgia eterna y el duelo permanente por el hogar perdido. En todos los casos esta circunstancia se vio reflejada en la obra de los autores del exilio aquí abordados, en sus esfuerzos por reinventar la literatura, la filosofía o la relación entre ambas, así como en sus aportes a la difusión de estas dos disciplinas en órganos culturales como instituciones educativas, editoriales y revistas."--Publisher's description

    Series Statement: Advances in Human Resources Management and Organizational Development
    Keywords: Industrial management Study and teaching ; Industries ; Management & management techniques
    Abstract: In the realm of regional industrial development, academic scholars often find themselves grappling with a complex dilemma; how to effectively navigate the complex landscape of cross-sectoral inter-organizational collaborations to catalyze the emergence of vibrant regional industries? Traditional management approaches, characterized by hierarchical structures, frequently fall short when confronted with the intricacies of these collaborations, which involve a multitude of autonomous and diversified entities. The need for a fresh perspective in this dynamic field has never been more evident. Promoting Regional Industries Through Cross-Sectoral Collaborations: Regional System, Management, and the Management Body is a transformative book offering an innovative and comprehensive solution to the challenges posed by regional industrial development. Its core mission is to provide a robust theoretical framework that addresses the critical question of how to manage and facilitate cross-sectoral collaborations effectively. The authors recognize that traditional hierarchical approaches are ill-suited to the task, and thus, they offer a groundbreaking alternative. The book guides scholars and practitioners on a journey that begins with the creation of a management approach designed to construct and operate a regional system conducive to self-organizing cross-sectoral collaborations. Drawing from rich literature and real-world case studies, it outlines a conceptual model that revolutionizes the approach to building and operating regional systems, ultimately redefining the management landscape. It delves into change management theory, offering practical insights and a comprehensive model to guide the management of self-organizing processes towards collaboration. Lastly, it explores the critical role of a management body in facilitating these collaborations and presents a practical roadmap for building and re-building this essential entity. For academic scholars seeking to revolutionize regional industrial development, this book provides the indispensable guidance needed to navigate the complex web of cross-sectoral collaborations effectively. It offers fresh perspectives, practical insights, and a roadmap to reshape the future of regional industries through innovation and collaboration
    Abstract: "This book comprises case studies that show practical approaches to the goal of the topic above. Therefore, in conjunction with the practical implications withdrawn from the study, professionals/officials of the public sector, research institutions, and think tanks, who are involved in the survey and the program to promote regional industries and facilitate the collaborations, can benefit from this book to find the effective way to increase their performance"--

    Abstract: The Nyāyasūtravivaraṇa, written in the first centuries of the 2nd millennium CE, provides the most accessible introduction to the core teachings of old Nyāya. Excerpting from the two earliest and most important treatises of this tradition-the Nyāyabhāṣya and Nyāyavārttika-Gambhīravaṃśaja created a comprehensive yet concise digest. The present work contains not only a critical edition of the first chapter based on all known textual sources but also a complete documentation of the variants, a comprehensive study of the parallel passages, a detailed discussion of the preparation and processing of the text-critical data, and a detailed documentation of the Grantha Tamil, Telugu and Kannada scripts
    Abstract: Das Nyāyasūtravivaraṇa, geschrieben in den ersten Jahrhunderten des 2. Jahrtausends u. Z., bietet die zugänglichste Einführung in die Kernlehren des alten Nyāya. Anhand von Auszügen aus den beiden frühesten und wichtigsten Abhandlungen dieser Tradition - dem Nyāyabhāṣya und dem Nyāyavārttika - schuf Gambhīravaṃśaja ein umfassendes und doch prägnantes Digest. Das vorliegende Werk enthält nicht nur eine kritische Ausgabe des ersten Kapitels basierend auf allen bekannten Textquellen, sondern auch eine vollständige Dokumentation der Varianten, eine umfassende Studie der Parallelstellen, eine detaillierte Erörterung der Aufbereitung und Verarbeitung von textkritischen Daten sowie eine ausführliche Dokumentation der Grantha Tamil-, Telugu- und Kannada-Schriften

    Abstract: 〈p〉Migrant Ecologies: Environmental Histories of the Pacific World is the first volume explicitly dedicated to the environmental history of Earth's largest ocean. Covering nearly one-third of the planet, the Pacific Ocean is remarkable for its diverse human and non-human inhabitants, their astounding long-distance migrations over time, and their profound influences on other parts of the world. This book creates an understanding of the past, present, and futures of the lands, seas, peoples, practices, microbes, animals, plants, and other natural forces that shape the Pacific. It effectively argues for the existence of an interconnected Pacific World environmental history, as well as for the Pacific Ocean as a necessary framework for understanding that history.〈br〉〈br〉The fifteen chapters in this comprehensive collection, written by leading experts from across the globe, span a vast array of topics, from disease ecology and coffee cultivation to nuclear testing and whaling practices. They explore regions stretching from the Tuamotu Archipelago in the south Pacific to the Kamchatka Peninsula in the far north, resisting the depiction of the Pacific as isolated and uninhabited. What unites these diverse contributions is a concern for how the people, places, and non-human beings of the Pacific World have been shaped by, and have in turn modified, their oceanic realm. Building on a recent renaissance in Pacific history, these chapters make a powerful argument for the importance of the Pacific World as a coherent unit of analysis and a valuable lens through which to examine past, ongoing, and emerging environmental issues. By showcasing surprising and innovative perspectives on the environmental histories of the peoples and ecosystems in and around the Pacific Ocean, this work adds to current conversations and debates about the Pacific World and offers myriad opportunities for further discussions, both inside and outside of the classroom.〈/p〉

    Abstract: Wie gewinnen Juristen ihr Wissen über die Lebenswelt, die sie regeln? Erfahrung ist eine wichtige Erkenntnisquelle, aber die komplex vernetzte Wissensgesellschaft erfordert zunehmend auch empirische Rechtsforschung. Dabei sind die Methoden empirischer Forschung gar nicht so leicht zu handhaben und ihre Ergebnisse nicht so einfach zu interpretieren, wie man annehmen möchte. Hanjo Hamann erörtert deshalb die Grundlagen quantitativ-empirischen Forschens und verbindet die kritische Reflexion empirischer Erkenntnismöglichkeiten mit spezifisch juristischen Erkenntnisinteressen. Daraus entsteht eine pragmatische Rezeptionslehre, die nach dem Vorbild der "evidenzbasierten Medizin" besonderen Wert auf sogenannten Metastudien legt. Deren praktischen Nutzen erprobt der Autor vor allem an den empirischen Grundannahmen des gesellschaftsrechtlichen "Kollegialprinzips", die sich aus dessen dogmatischer und rechtsvergleichender Analyse ergeben. Hanjo Hamann erhielt für seine Dissertation den Dissertationspreis der Esche Schümann Commichau Stiftung, den Telekom-Preis für Zivilrecht der Universität Bonn sowie die Otto-Hahn-Medaille der Max-Planck-Gesellschaft

    Abstract: A formative ethnography of the relationship between markets and social life, back in print. Originally published in 1979, Clifford Geertz’s essay on the Moroccan bazaar is a classic ethnographic account of the interplay of economic, social, and religious lives in the bustle of transaction. Drawing on years of fieldwork in the Middle Atlas town of Sefrou, Geertz explores how actors from diverse backgrounds assess the worth and meaning of other people’s wares, words, and ways of doing business. He shows how the search for market information, so central to the theorization of markets by economists, is here based on careful appraisals of social relations, embedded in understandings of the broader institutional environment of the market town and its hinterlands. With a richness of insights procured for generations of readers, Geertz’s essay on the sūq is a model of and for the craft of ethnographic theory. Long out of print, it is republished here in a stand-alone edition introduced by Lawrence Rosen

    Abstract: Design for the New World aims to introduce a new paradigm in design and design thinking, by shifting our approach from a human perspective that is primarily focused on human scales, needs, and desires, to a planet perspective, in which design is guided by the ambition to create a balanced coexistence between humans and the other species that make up the global ecosystem. The book intervenes in current discussions within design research about what role design can play in the sustainable transition, by offering new methods and mindset to handle the giant-scale complexity of the climate and environmental crisis, as well as specific tools to turn these theoretical reflections into a transformative practice. Essential reading for researchers, students, and practitioners in the fields of design, innovation, development, entrepreneurship, leadership, art, and creativity. The book is structured so that it can be easily used in an educational context, both at under- and postgraduate level and in courses of business, innovation, or management training. The practical suggestions and process-management tools can be used to facilitate sustainable transformations in in commercial businesses, organizations, and political networks. Written in an accessible and clear style, where all technical terms are fully introduced and unpacked. The chapters can be read in order or independently, and the practical tools for facilitating processes of change are supplemented with additional questions for reflection and further development

    Abstract: Explores cities of exile from different perspectives and presents different methods and sources for exile and urban studies. The essays are written by internationally recognized scholars, and contain a wide range of themes including mapping, oral history, queerness, photography. This book will make a significant contribution to the theory and methodology of research on historical exile, cities and modernities, as well as present multidisciplinary exile research from an urban perspective.With a blend of case studies, and theoretical approaches, it interweaves histories of modernism and exile in different urban environments and focuses on historical dislocations in the first half of the twentieth century, when artistic and urban movements constituted themselves in global exchange. Although this book takes a historical perspective, it is written with an awareness of current flight movements and will make a significant contribution to the theory and methodology of research on exile.The knowledge of previous historical exile experiences is important for the understanding of contemporary flight movements: after all, these are not singular phenomena. For migration movements in the first half of the 20th century and for those of today, it is equally possible to speak of urban centres of attraction for refugees: Today, Berlin is a European metropolis of exile; in the 1930s and 1940s, Paris, Prague, London, New York, Istanbul and Shanghai were destinations for refugees.With contributions from Maddalena Alvi, Ekaterina Aygün, Claudia Cendales Paredes, Julia Eichenberg, Margit Franz, Nils Grosch, Mareike Hetschold, Louis Kaplan, Laura Karp Lugo, Katya Knyazeva, Merve Köksal, Rachel Lee, Chris McConville, Anna Messner, Alexis Nuselovici, Robert Pascoe, Valentina Pino Reyes, Helene Roth, Valeria Sánchez Michel, Marine Schütz, Seza Sinanlar Uslu, Felicitas Söhner, Mareike Schwarz, Marina Sorokina, Xin Tong, Diana Wechsler, Jessica Williams Stark and Federico Vitelli

    Abstract: Religiöse Rede ist metaphorische Rede. Deshalb übersieht eine Theologie in der 'Logik des Begriffs' einiges, was sich erst der aufmerksamen phänomenologischen Betrachtung zeigt. Hans Blumenbergs Metaphorologie ist eine besonders raffinierte Metaphorologie, deren kritische Rekonstruktion für das Verstehen von religiöser wie theologischer Rede einen neuen Horizont erschließen kann. Philipp Stoellger rekonstruiert die Entwicklung von Hans Blumenbergs 'Arbeit an der Metapher' zur Kulturphänomenologie geschichtlicher Lebenswelten und untersucht deren Verhältnis zur Metapherntheorie von Vico, Derrida und Jüngel. Daraus ergibt sich eine phänomenologische Methode zur Thematisierung und zum Gebrauch von Metaphern in theoretischen und vortheoretischen Kontexten. In der 'Arbeit an der Metaphorologie' wird deutlich, wie Blumenberg von theologischen und kulturtheoretischen Intentionen mitbestimmt wird. Im religionsphänomenologischen Horizont lebt die Theologie von Nachdenklichkeit, einer bestimmten Unbestimmtheit und der Kunst der Vermutung im Sinne von Cusanus. Versteht man religiöse und theologische Rede als metaphorische Rede, erschließt sich ihre lebensweltliche Rückbindung, und es ergeben sich hermeneutische und rhetorische Perspektiven, die die Metaphorizität nicht außer acht lassen. Dabei geht es im Grunde um eine 'Remetaphorisierung der Theologie'

    Abstract: At the center of the book lies the question concerning the relation between art and papal ceremonial in Rome during the pontificate of Paul V. (1605-1621). It is examined by focussing on the selected cases of the splendid ceremonial furnishings created for the canonisations of Francesca Romana and Carlo Borromeo at St. Peter's Basilica, as well as the Sala Regia in the Quirinal Palace. Using a multitude of textual and visual sources these works are reconstructed and put into the context for which they were created

    Abstract: Mirrors of Salt publishes the proceedings of the First International Congress on the Anthropology of Salt, which took place at the Alexandru Ioan Cuza University in Iasi (Romania). The impact of salt on the development of human communities, from the Neolithic to the present, has generated a huge number of specialized studies. However, scientific research has become so atomized that the primordial importance of the mineral has been lost, creating a need for a holistic, comprehensive vision of the dimensions generated by salt. This can only be achieved through anthropology. The anthropology of salt encompasses the entirety of human behavior, i.e. cognitive, spiritual, pragmatic, and social reactions to salt, and provides a holistic view of its role in the evolution of human communities. The anthropology of salt thus brings salt studies from an ancillary position to an autonomous discipline. The papers in this volume are organized into six sections: theory, archaeology, history, ethnography/ ethnoarchaeology/ethnohistory, linguistics, and literature. Topics include salt in Greek and Roman antiquity, as well as from Cameroon, Georgia, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, Moldova, Mongolia, Nigeria, Peru, Romania, Spain, Sudan, Syria, Ukraine, the USA and Venezuela. The congress was organized within the project The Ethnoarchaeology of the Salt Springs and Salt Mountains from the Extra-Carpathian Areas of Romania, financed by the Government of Romania (CNCS – UEFISCDI) (2011-2016). Its theoretical novelty and geographical range render Mirrors of Salt a unique study of the world’s most-used non-metallic mineral

    Abstract: Beschleunigung, Zeitverdichtung und Effizienz sind oft genannte Schlagworte unserer Gegenwart, die sich aufs Engste mit der Stadt verbinden. Hektik und Geschäftigkeit im urbanen Raum scheinen Menschen zu Funktionsträgern zu verwandeln. Die Brüchigkeit dieser vorherrschenden Vorstellung zeigt sich aber bereits an Figuren wie der des Flaneurs, der sich gerade im Getriebe der Großstadt gelassen bewegt. Auch scheinbar gegenläufige Tendenzen lassen sich erkennen: Orte wie Stadtparks oder Museen suggerieren ebenso Refugien der Entschleunigung wie eine wachsende 'Erholungsindustrie'. Im selben Moment können aber solche Angebote wieder den Mechanismen der Zweckgebundenheit und der Selbstoptimierung unterliegen. Der Sammelband widmet sich diesen komplexen Fragen und ambivalenten Befunden und beleuchtet erstmals aus geistes-, kultur- und sozialwissenschaftlicher Perspektive mögliche Freiräume der Muße im urbanen Raum

The analysis of fourteen interviews with Sufis from diverse teaching traditions and cultural backgrounds gives insight into these Sufis’ ethic-spiritual efforts for a purification of their selves with the aim to come closer to God. The resulting process-related, selfreflective forms of engagement with the Qur’an lead to original socioreligious perspectives

    Abstract: Dogs, Past and Present: An Interdisciplinary Perspective contributions from scholars from a variety of disciplines to provide a comprehensive assessment of the importance of dogs through history. Over the last decades, countless studies have examined the lives of dogs and their current place in our societies as well as their crucial part in human life and history. Data and hypotheses have progressively increased, sometimes controversially, in each field of investigation. The domestication of dogs and its success during prehistory is a fascinating theme that scholars of various disciplines are involved with. However, there has not been a real exchange between those approaches and it is extremely complex to reach a complete view of the thousands of texts which are published every year. By contrast, this volume is entirely dedicated to dogs and it is focused on the necessity of an ‘interdisciplinary perspective’ to fully understand the fundamental role that dogs have played in our past. When, where, how and why were dogs domesticated? What is their story? What was their role in the history of humankind? What is their role in traditional and non-traditional societies today? The book originated from the conference ‘Dogs, Past and Present – an Interdisciplinary Perspective’ held at CNR (National Scientific Council) and at Sapienza University in Rome (14–17 November 2018), promoted by the Italian Association for Ethnoarchaeology and organised by the editors

    Abstract: Berkeley Castle Tales presents the outcomes of the 15-year-long University of Bristol excavations and landscape research at the Berkeley Castle estate in South Gloucestershire. The project, which in 2016 won the prestigious Current Archaeology award for the Archaeology Project of the Year, aimed at writing, through material culture and extensive archival and geophysical research, the narrative behind the construction of Berkeley Castle, the corresponding town, and the area of the Severn valley that overlooks the borders with Wales. By combining the results of archaeological fieldwork with information contained in the castle's impressive collection of 20,000 historical documents, the project adds greatly to our knowledge and understanding of the early medieval period and the subsequent changes in landscape and society that occurred with the coming of the Normans, with the erection of a castle on the former minster site. Throughout the publication the advances that the Berkeley Castle project offered to archaeological practice, to excavation and geophysics methodology, and to the community and public archaeology are evident, since the editors intend the volume to be a milestone not only for the study of a castle landscape but also for archaeological method and practice

    Abstract: Der vorliegende Sammelband geht mehreren wesentlichen Systemfragen des Zivilrechts nach, die sich im Rahmen der Kodifikation gestellt haben. Zu den jüngsten Kodifikationsversuchen im Zivilrecht gehören das neue chinesische Zivilgesetzbuch und die Schuldrechtsreform Japans. Beide Gesetzbücher wurden während ihres Entstehungsprozesses von den europäischen Vorbildern, vor allem dem deutschen BGB, stark beeinflusst. Dem Aufbau der Zivilgesetzbücher wird in Ostasien ein hoher Stellenwert beigemessen, weshalb im Kodifikationsprozess nicht selten um die richtige systematische Verortung der Rechtsinstitute gerungen wurde. Die Suche nach einer optimalen Struktur führt auch zu kodifikatorischen Alternativentwürfen. In diesem Band diskutieren europäische und ostasiatische Zivilrechtler gemeinsam, inwiefern die Struktur der Zivilgesetzbücher für die Lehre und Praxis eine Rolle spielt und ob tradierte Gliederungsansätze wie die Trennung von Schuld- und Sachenrecht noch zeitgemäß sind

    Abstract: Cities, Monuments and Objects in the Roman and Byzantine Levant celebrates Gabriel Mazor and his lifetime of work at the monumental city of Nysa-Scythopolis, Bet Sheʼan Baysān. This metropolis, part of the storied Decapolis, or league of ten cities, that flourished during the Hellenistic, Roman-Byzantine and very early Islamic periods until the devastating earthquake of AD 748, has been the singular focus of Gabi Mazor for a generation. The excavations, conservation and reconstruction at the site, and the detailed publications all are deserving of praise and appreciation.Chapters by leading archaeologists in Israel and the Levant explore themes and sites, in most cases by the chief archaeologists themselves, providing the latest information and insights about cities and villages from the Hellenistic to early Islamic periods across the region. This rare assemblage of scholars offers new material and interpretations of many of the key archaeological sites active today. The result is a rich trove of up-to-date data and insights that will be a must read for scholars and students active in this part of the ancient Mediterranean world

    Abstract: Between Roman Culture and Local Tradition presents a detailed analysis of the Roman provincial coinage of Bithynia and Pontus during the reign of Trajan (98-117), when 14 cities struck coins. The book characterises individual mints, the rhythm of monetary production, iconography and legends, and considers the attribution and dating of individual issues. Context is provided by studies on other categories of artefacts discovered in the local area, including epigraphic and material ones, such as fine art, sculptures and architectural remains. The extent of circulation is also analysed, as well as the coinage of the border centres of neighbouring provinces such as Thrace, Asia and Galatia-Cappadocia. Reference is made to historical sources, principally the correspondence of Pliny the Younger with the emperor, which can help to show the realities of life for the inhabitants of individual centres, including ongoing construction projects or local problems. Overall the book aims to reconstruct the coinage policy of individual cities and culture and religion in various centres during this period, as well as contacts and relationships among the local communities. In turn, the studies of individual cities allow for the creation of a general picture of coinage in the province

Dazu skizziert er mit "responsiver Bipolarität" ein pluralistisches Privatrechtsmodell, das Kriterien für erfolgreiche Integration bereitstellt. Anschließend werden daran zwei aktuelle Anwendungsbeispiele für Nachhaltigkeit im Privatrecht - deliktische Klimahaftung und kaufrechtliche Lieferkettenverantwortlichkeit - gemessen. Am Ende stehen jeweils Vollzugsmeldungen: Klimahaftung und Lieferkettenverantwortlichkeit sind integrierbar, das Privatrecht ist nachhaltigkeitsresponsiv

It examines a panoply of graphic evidence found on stone surfaces, supplying an unprecedented view of the long-term development of culture and religion on a large swathe of the Tibetan Plateau. The pictographs (rock paintings) and petroglyphs (rock carvings), host sites, and descriptions and analyses presented are the direct result of intensive fieldwork conducted by the author in Upper Tibet between 1995 and 2016. Information on rock art production techniques, subject identification, thematic class, mode of presentation, physical condition, estimated age, and relative location are supplied for each piece of rock art. In addition to the datasets, the book offers rock art site descriptions and assesses the cultural, religious and artistic development of these locations

Aus verfassungsrechtlicher Perspektive stellt sich daher die zentrale Frage nach der Reichweite einer Grundrechtsbindung privater Akteure. Traditionellerweise wird auf die seit jeher kontrovers diskutierte Lehre der mittelbaren Drittwirkung von Grundrechten Bezug genommen.

    Abstract: Non-Intrusive Methodologies for Large Area Urban Research brings together contributions from a conference held in 2021 in association with the ERC-funded ‘Rome Transformed’ research project. The papers address a major challenge in archaeology. Non-intrusive research in pursuit of a deeper understanding of urban areas can be both richly informative and cost-effective. Multiple successes in the field have led to an impressive array of innovative methodologies, methodologies that are frequently combined for still greater insight and impact. Geophysical surveys, the use of UAVs, the study of exposed historic structures and the exhaustive examination of archival records can all play a vital role, and the development of these data capture methodologies is of the utmost importance for the future of research. As well as advances in data capture methodologies, however, the papers also present case studies in the management of the big data generated and in the integration of different methodologies. A further strength of this collection lies in the range of site types considered. While many projects have historically pursued non-intrusive research in areas relatively clear of modern buildings, a growing number of research initiatives, such as ‘Rome Transformed’ are seeking to advance them in areas which remain densely occupied. Accordingly the material presented here will also be of interest to non-archaeologists working in such diverse fields as civil engineering, urban planning and physical geography

    Abstract: Obsidian Across the Americas draws attention to recent obsidian studies in the Americas and acts as a reference for archaeologists and scholars interested in material culture and exchange. Moreover, it provides a wide range of case studies in obsidian characterization, material application, and theoretical interpretations in the Americas. The limited geographic occurrence and relatively homogenous nature of obsidian have made the material ideal for archaeometric studies. Since Cann and Renfrew’s seminal paper in 1967 on the compositional analysis of obsidian in the Mediterranean, analytical techniques have improved, identification and characterization of sources have increased, and applications have broadened geographically and theoretically to address various socio-cultural activities and behaviours around the world. While many previous publications have focused on different aspects of obsidian characterization, this volume uniquely presents obsidian compositional studies from across the Americas that have relied on the instrumentation housed in the Elemental Analysis Facility at the Field Museum of Natural History. The case studies, which feature materials from North American, Mesoamerican, and South American geological sources, explore the ways in which obsidian analyses have been used to investigate interactions, socio-economic exchanges, and socio-cultural change at multiple scales in the past

    Abstract: Bestimmte Räume tragen durch ihre Eigenschaften dazu bei, dass in ihnen Muße leicht erfahrbar wird. Dazu zählen z.B. Bibliotheken, Museen und Gärten. Auch die Antike und frühe Neuzeit kennen Räume, die so "funktionieren". Zudem geben literarische Quellen Aufschluss darüber, wie sie als Mußeräume erfahren wurden. Die Autoren dieses Bandes widmen sich ausgewählten Räumen der Antike und frühen Neuzeit und gehen der Frage nach, ob und warum wir von ihnen als Mußeräumen sprechen können. Dabei nehmen sie architektonische und funktionale Eigenschaften dieser Räume in den Blick, die diese als Mußeräume prädestinieren könnten, und arbeiten in literarischen Darstellungen die sprachlichen Mittel heraus, mit denen die Inszenierung als Mußeräume gelingt. An Werke der neulateinischen Literatur wird zudem die Frage gerichtet, wie die Antike selbst einen Mußeraum eröffnet, wenn sie in späteren Texten rezipiert wird. Im Fokus stehen das griechische Theater, die Bibliothek, die römische Villa, der locus amoenus, der Garten und die Landschaft

    Abstract: Holger M. Zellentin seeks to probe how far the classical rabbis took their literary playfulness in order to advance their religious and societal causes. Building on the literary approaches to rabbinic Judaism of the past decades, this work considers the rabbis' attitudes towards their Byzantine and Sassanian surroundings. The author examines how the Talmud and Midrash in Palestine and Persia repeat previous texts with comical difference, oscillating between reverence and satire. The result shows rabbinic society and its literature engaging in the great debates of their times, commenting on issues such as pedagogy, abstinence, dream interpretation, inheritance law, ritual purity, and Christian triumphalism and asceticism. In constant conversation with the Bible, the rabbis reveal themselves as capable of critically reinventing the Jewish tradition, as well as of playfully engaging a few Gospel passages favoured by their Christian interlocutors. Rabbinic parodies cast deviant insiders as tantamount to outsiders and explore the limits of acculturation within the Jewish tradition - in the Talmud, even parody itself comes under parodic scrutiny

    Abstract: Picturing Royal Charisma assesses how Middle Eastern leaders manipulated visuals to advance their rule from around 4500 BC to the 19th century AD. In nine fascinating narratives, it showcases the dynamics of long-lasting Middle Eastern traditions, dealing with the visualization of those who stood at the head of the social order. The contributions discuss: Mesopotamian kings who cast themselves as divine representatives in art; the relationships between the ‘king of men’ and ‘king of beasts’ – the lion; Akhenaten’s visual conception of a divine king without hybrid attributes; the royal image as guiding movements of visitors in the palace of Nimrud; continuities in the functions and representation of Neo-Assyrian eunuchs that survived in the Achaemenid, Sasanian, Byzantine and Islamic courts; the triumphal arch of the emperor Titus and its reflections in Christian Constantinople; patterns of authority and royal legitimacy in 3rd century AD Palmyra and Rome; the use of the Biblical past in the construction of kingship in 12th century Crusader Jerusalem; and the use of ‘the power of images’ by Islamic rulers, adopting visuals of thrones and throne-rooms despite Islamic opposition to the figurative portrayal of kings

    Abstract: Paradoxically, while the fragmentation, desecration or abandonment of remains is attested in many archaeological or historical contexts, the intentional absence of funerary rites has not yet been the subject of systematic or comparative studies in the social sciences. Therefore, little is known about what leads a society to intentionally deprive an individual of funeral treatment. Are the modalities of funeral deprivation always and everywhere the same? Or do they vary according to socio-historical context, being singularly linked to crisis situations? What are the different issues at stake in the deprivation of funeral treatment? More generally and analytically, on the basis of what concrete elements can we identify and qualify situations of deprivation of funeral rites? To answer this vast set of questions, this volume gathers twelve contributions from archaeologists, anthropologists and historians, the fruit of collective work carried out during study sessions that took place in 2021 and 2022 in Montpellier and Marseille. These sessions initiated a particularly rich and dense interdisciplinary and diachronic reflection on the diversity of motivations that lead to the intentional deprivation of funerals. Taken together, the twelve chapters also invite us to reflect on the intellectual path that allows us to attest the absence of funerary treatment, from archaeological, historical or ethnographic data, and on the intellectual and theoretical tools available to approach the question of the deprivation of funerals

    Abstract: Die Frage, welches Recht auf einen grenzüberschreitenden Sachverhalt Anwendung finden soll, wurde schon im Mittelalter diskutiert. Die Abhandlungen, in denen Bartolus de Saxoferrato (1313-1357) die Konkurrenz der italienischen Stadtrechte (Statuten) erörtert, sind in diesem Zusammenhang berühmt geworden. In der frühen Neuzeit wurden sie in weiten Teilen Europas rezipiert und adaptiert. Neuerungen lassen sich insbesondere in den französischen Lehren des 16. sowie in den niederländischen und deutschen Lehren des 17. Jahrhunderts feststellen. Kristin Boosfeld erzählt die Geschichte der Lehren von der Statutenkollision als Deutungsgeschichte aus Raum und Recht. Denn kollisionsrechtliche Überzeugungen müssen vor dem Hintergrund des Hoheitsbegriffs und der staatlichen und rechtlichen Strukturen zur jeweiligen Zeit am jeweiligen Ort gelesen werden. Erst wenn klar ist, welche Natur die Rechte haben, die miteinander kollidieren, lässt sich verstehen, weshalb die französischen, niederländischen und deutschen frühneuzeitlichen Juristen zwar an die bartolinische Lehre anknüpften, sie aber an ihr individuelles Rechtsverständnis anpassten

    Abstract: Religion and Cult in the Dodecanese during the First Millennium BC publishes the proceedings of the conference of the same name, held in Rhodes in October 2018. Religion has always been one of the major components of peoples’ lives, an integral part of social, economic and political contexts, contributing to the formation of culture and history. In order to study and understand the religious and cult practices of a particular region, it is necessary to explore their various expressions through material culture and written sources. The oldest known cult remains in the Dodecanese can be dated to the end of the 10th and early 9th centuries BC and throughout the 1st millennium BC. They demonstrate the existence of a vibrant island society with various evolving cult practices. As a major stopover on maritime trade routes, the southeastern Aegean was influenced by contacts from throughout the Greek world and beyond. The contributions to this volume draw on archaeological and literary sources to explore both the development and continuity of cults in the Dodecanese, from the Early Iron Age through to the 1st century BC

    Abstract: Digital Transformations of Illicit Drugs Markets: Reconfiguration and Continuity considers how the digital revolution has changed the selling and buying of illicit substances through increased convenience and anonymisation. Providing a uniquely interdisciplinary perspective, this book shows how the digital transformation of illicit drug markets combines a reconfiguration of how sellers and buyers interact in new markets alongside the continuity of embeddedness of market structures in cultural, economic, political and legal realms. Emphasising that illicit digital markets are embedded in societal structures and power relations in general, contributors also recognise the importance of critical perspectives on inequalities between the Global North and South as well as issues of gender
    Abstract: Digital Transformations of Illicit Drug Markets: Reconfiguration and Continuity untersucht wie die digitale Revolution den Verkauf und Kauf illegalisierter Substanzen durch mehr Komfort und Anonymisierung verändert. Dieses Buch bietet eine einzigartige interdisziplinäre Perspektive und zeigt, wie die digitale Transformation illegalisierter Drogenmärkte eine Neukonfiguration der Interaktion von Verkäufer*innen und Käufer*innen auf neuen Märkten mit der Kontinuität der Einbettung von Marktstrukturen in kulturelle, wirtschaftliche, politische und rechtliche Bereiche verbindet. Die Beiträge zeigen, dass illegale digitale Märkte in gesellschaftliche Strukturen und Machtverhältnisse eingebettet sind. Sie verdeutlichen damit die Bedeutung kritischer Perspektiven auf Ungleichheitsverhältnisse zwischen dem Globalen Norden und dem Globalen Süden sowie geschlechtsspezifische Dimensionen von digitalen Drogenmärkten

    Abstract: Nach traditionellem Verständnis knüpft die deliktische Unternehmenshaftung an individuelles menschliches Verhalten an. Welche Schwierigkeiten sich daraus ergeben, haben jüngst die „Dieselfälle“ in Erinnerung gerufen. Carsten König plädiert dafür, die Unternehmenshaftung stärker organisationsbezogen zu konstruieren. Hierfür führt er neben rechtsdogmatischen vor allem rechtsökonomische Argumente an. Inspiriert durch rechtsvergleichende Betrachtungen schlägt er vor, zwischen direkter und indirekter Unternehmenshaftung zu unterscheiden und erstere gegenüber letzterer zu stärken. Er entwickelt eine differenzierte Dogmatik der direkten Unternehmenshaftung, die er sodann für die Unternehmens-Gefährdungshaftung, die Unternehmens-Fahrlässigkeitshaftung und die Unternehmens-Vorsatzhaftung konkretisiert

    Abstract: Ökonomische Argumente werden auch für Juristen immer wichtiger. Dieses Lehrbuch soll Juristen mit ökonomischen Methoden vertraut machen, um ihnen ein besseres Verständnis dieser Argumente zu geben. Es richtet sich dabei sowohl an Studierende als auch an Wissenschaftler und Praktiker. Für die Neuauflage wurden alle Kapitel überarbeitet und ergänzt, zwei Kapitel sind von neuen Autoren vollständig neu verfasst worden. Außerdem wurden Randziffern eingefügt, die die Arbeit mit dem Werk erleichtern sollen. "Im Ergebnis bietet das Buch den perfekten Einstieg in die Rechtsökonomie und darüber hinaus in die Eckpfeiler der Wirtschaftswissenschaften als solche. Das Lehrbuch bietet jedoch weit mehr. Durch die ausführlichen Literaturhinweise zu Beginn eines jeden Kapitels sowie den übersichtlichen Glossar am Ende des Werkes, wird es zu einem ständigen Begleiter. Mithin eine brillante Darstellung, die in jedes Buchregal eines Rechtsstudierenden gehört." David Eckner www.studjur-online.de (01/2011) "Sowohl dem auf schnellem Zugriff angewiesenen Leser als auch dem nach Vertiefung suchenden Rechtsökonomen bietet das Werk eine dem Blickwinkel des Juristen entgegenkommende Darstellung. […] Studenten, die nach Blicköffnung und Hilfestellungen für interdisziplinär abgesicherte und nachhaltig belastbare Argumentation suchen, sei es mit Nachdruck empfohlen." Patrick C. Leyens Juristische Schulung — 2011, Heft 1, XVII

    Abstract: Passivität aus Passion fragt nach der Herkunft der Theologie aus Passion. Welchen Sinn hat es, von Passivität zu sprechen, wenn Theologie als Interpretation der Passion entsteht? Passivität (gr. Pathos) ist eine nicht nur theologisch fundamentale Kategorie, die als Figur des Dritten im Verhältnis von Ethos und Logos zu verstehen ist. Gegen die Geschichte des Verschwindens dieser ungeliebten Kategorie wird der Pathosbegriff in das spannungsvolle Verhältnis von Ethos und Logos eingezeichnet, ausgehend von Aristoteles, in Auseinandersetzung mit Augustin, Thomas von Aquin, der deutschen Mystik und der lutherischen Theologie der Reformation sowie im Dialog mit der Phänomenologie unter anderem von Husserl und Waldenfels. In 'passiver Reduktion' führt Philipp Stoellger Ethos und Logos hermeneutisch auf das ihnen vorausgehende Pathos zurück. Die 'vita passiva' erscheint dann als Leben aus 'kreativer Passivität': als Passivität aus Passion

    Abstract: Das deutsche Wort Muße ist nicht ohne weiteres übersetzbar. Umso schwieriger gestaltet sich die Erforschung der Muße in anderen kulturellen Kontexten. Der Sammelband illustriert die semantischen Probleme des Mußebegriffs innerhalb der gegebenen Wortfelder im Deutschen, Griechischen, Lateinischen, Englischen, Spanischen, Französischen und Tschechischen sowie in Bangla und Urdu. Die hier versammelten Aufsätze sind hauptsächlich von Literaturwissenschaftlern, aber auch von Vertretern der Psychologie, der Linguistik und der Theologie verfasst. Sie betten ihre Studien zur Muße in verschiedenen Kulturkreisen und Epochen in die Betrachtung des historischen und kulturellen Umfelds ein und fördern so das Beziehungsgeflecht zwischen Mußediskursen, Verunglimpfungen des Müßiggangs und der Verhandlung von sozialem Stand und ökonomischem Status zutage. Darüber hinaus erörtert ein Beitrag aus der Psychologie eine empirische Untersuchung, die Assoziationen von Mußebegriffen analysiert

    Abstract: Wie und anhand welcher Unterscheidungen wird das Verhältnis von religiösen und säkularen Perspektiven auf Religion heute beobachtet? Lorenz Trein zeigt, dass die postkoloniale Kritik am Säkularismus Modernediagnosen einer nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg geführten Debatte über den Zusammenhang von Christentum, Säkularisierung und Fortschritt aufgenommen hat. Diese hat mit der (Un-)Möglichkeit einer historischen Realisierung der eschatologischen Botschaft vom Reich Gottes zu tun. Ist die 'religiös/säkular'-Unterscheidung aufgrund dieser Genealogie erledigt? Mit welchen Unterscheidungen untersucht die Religionswissenschaft den Säkularisierungsdiskurs? Die Deutungsgeschichte der Säkularisierung öffnet Perspektiven auf die religiöse Reflexion dessen, was Moderne heißt. Zugleich legt sie 'Kultur', 'Geschichte' und 'Kontingenz' als religionsproduktive Beschreibungen frei

    Abstract: Portus, investigaciones geoarqueológicas en el muelle este-oeste collects the scientific results of the geoarchaeological project on the east-west pier of Portus (Rome) developed within the framework of the Archaeological Projects Abroad program of the Ministerio de Cultura y Deporte of the Kingdom of Spain, and also under a collaboration agreement between the University of Huelva and the Parco Archeologico di Ostia Antica. Since 2017, without interruption until the present, various excavation and study campaigns have focused their efforts on the pier via an inter- and multidisciplinary methodology involving archaeologists, geologists, palaeobotanists and palaeontologists. Thus, excavation activities, geophysical prospecting, petrographic, archaeometric studies and architectural analysis have been developed, always with the application of new photogrammetric techniques and laser scanning, which have allowed us to obtain a significant volume of data. Its analysis and interpretation now gives the most extensive and up-to-date picture of one of the most interesting and extensive docks in Portus, with new contributions related to its chronology, with a building phase from the fourth century AD; its construction system, whose foundations have been determined; the surrounding paleoenvironment, with new data related to the silting process of the Claudio inlet; as well as the changes that occured in the transition to the Early Middle Ages, among others

    Abstract: The present book documents, analyzes and interprets the background and career as well as the works of Hermann Czech, probably the most important living architect and architectural theorist in Austria. An introductory section on Viennese Modernism is followed by a detailed narrative of Czech's childhood, youth, and training period, from which the architect's personal and professional development can be understood; an important element here is the - abstracted - form of speech and counter-speech by the architect and the author. An essay by the philosopher Elisabeth Nemeth is followed by the work section, in which more than thirty projects are presented in detail and placed in context; an extensive appendix completes the book

    Abstract: Die digitale Revolution fordert ihren Tribut: Globale Plattformen wie Facebook, Twitter oder TikTok verdrängen immer mehr die traditionellen, national verankerten Medien. Dies führt auch regulatorisch zu gewaltigen Umbrüchen. Im Zentrum möglicher Regulierungen steht immer stärker die öffentliche Kommunikation als Totalphänomen mit pathologischen Begleiterscheinungen wie Fake News, Desinformation und Hate Speech. Urs Saxer analysiert die Möglichkeiten und Grenzen des nationalen Rechts beim Schutz von Grundrechten sowie von Rechtsgütern des Einzelnen und der Allgemeinheit sowie die Rolle der Plattformen als globale Kommunikationsinfrastrukturen. Des Weiteren untersucht er die komplexen Grundrechtsverhältnisse im Verhältnis zwischen Staat, Plattformen und individuellen Nutzern sowie den Einfluss der europäischen und globalen Regelungsebene. Das traditionelle Medienrecht erweist sich als Auslaufmodell. Es wird von einem mehrdimensionalen Neben- und teilweise auch Durcheinander diverser Normen und Regeln auf verschiedenen Ebenen mit unterschiedlicher normativer Qualität abgelöst. In deren Zentrum stehen die Plattformen

    Abstract: Explores and interrogates the many and diverse perspectives of the new frontiers of African literary studies. Publication of the seminal volume African Literature Comes of Age by C.D. Narasimhaiah (India) and Ernest N. Emenyonu (Nigeria), in 1988 generated the consciousness that African literature had attained maturity by the evolution of diverse concerns among scholars, critics, and researchers over the decades following the publication, in the English language, of Chinua Things Fall Apart in 1958. Since the publication of the first volume of African Literature Today in the 1970s, the writings of Africans across the continent have spread across the globe, constituting refreshing and hitherto unimaginable epistemologies. This 40th volume provides a serious critical response to those changing horizons and reflects African literature's maturity, diversity, scope, spread, and above all, relevance. The topics discussed range from sickle cell disease to the animalization of humans, new feminisms and stereotypes of womanhood, the different shades of black masculinity, and political exploitation in creative works. Reaching across boundaries, recent fictions are seen to suggest a widening of conventional literary genres, and new forms that change the known trajectories of dramatic theatre. The substance, freshness, and vitality that characterize the articles in this volume of 〈i〉African Literature Today bring a welcome perspective to the continent's rich creative life

    Abstract: Climate change is one of the most significant challenges facing the global community in the twenty-first century. With its position at the border of people, technology, science, and communication, technical communication has a significant role to play in helping to solve these complex environmental problems. This collection of essays engages scholars and practitioners in a conversation about how the field has contributed to pragmatic and democratic action to address climate change. Compared to most prior work—which offers theoretical perspectives of environmental communication—this collection explores the actual practice of international technical communicators who participate in government projects, corporate processes, nonprofit programs, and international agency work, demonstrating how technical communication theories such as participatory design, social justice, and ethics can help shape pragmatic environmental action

    Abstract: This open access collection deals with musical moments in film as one of the most pivotal and compelling issues of current film music research. Musical moments as defined by Amy Herzog occur when a musical number inverts the normal relationship between the image track and the soundtrack in a film in such a way that what we see is determined by what we hear. As one potential approach, this definition provokes a variety of perspectives to investigate the disruptive potential of these moments and numbers as a creative device in the production of audiovisual narratives
    Abstract: Dieser Open Access Sammelband behandelt musikalische Momente im Film als zentrales und wegweisendes Thema aktueller Filmmusikforschung. Musikalische Momente wie von Amy Herzog (2009) definiert, treten dann auf, wenn die konventionelle Beziehung im Film zwischen Bild und Ton umgekehrt wird, so dass das was wir sehen von dem was wir hören bestimmt wird. Diese Definition ermöglicht neue Ansätze um besonders das disruptive Potential dieser musikalischen Momente und Nummern als kreatives Mittel der Produktion audiovisueller Erzählungen zu untersuchen

    Abstract: In an age of pandemics the relationship between the health of the city and good sanitation has never been more important. Waste and the City is a call to action on one of modern urban life 39 most neglected issues: sanitation infrastructure. The Covid-19 pandemic has laid bare the devastating consequences of unequal access to sanitation in cities across the globe. At this critical moment in global public health, Colin McFarlane makes the urgent case for Sanitation for All. The book outlines the worldwide sanitation crisis and offers a vision for a renewed, equitable investment in sanitation that democratises and socialises the modern city. Adopting Henri Lefebvre 39 concept of the right to the city 39, it uses the notion of 39 citylife 39 to reframe the discourse on sanitation from a narrowly-defined policy discussion to a question of democratic right to public life and health. In doing so, the book shows that sanitation is an urbanizing force whose importance extends beyond hygiene to the very foundation of urban social life

    Abstract: Despite advancements in scientific knowledge and technological capabilities, flood disasters continue to escalate in severity and extent due to the combination of increasingly intensive land use and the growing effects of climate change. To combat this challenge, it is imperative to advance fundamental and applied research that enables targeted interventions, reduces vulnerability, enhances resilience, and supports decision-makers in implementing effective flood risk-reduction policies. This comprehensive volume contributes to this critical objective by collating recent studies and cutting-edge methodologies that delve into understanding both existing and emerging flood risk drivers within the current climate change context. From investigating the role of constructed wetlands in stormwater management and evaluating flood risk in historic urban areas to analysing the non-stationarity of extreme rainfall and advancing torrential rainfall forecasts, no aspect is left unexplored. Additionally, this volume delves into examining flood damage on agricultural land and understanding post-fire debris flow susceptibility. By meticulously investigating these multifaceted dimensions, the book arms readers with actionable insights and knowledge.The editors hope this comprehensive resource serves as a beacon for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers alike. By equipping readers with the latest advancements and methodologies, we hope this book empowers them to better comprehend flood risks, navigate the complexities of climate change, and forge a path toward a more resilient and sustainable future

    Abstract: This book unpacks and interrogates dominant constructions of mothering, making use of interdisciplinary, ideological and theoretical perspectives to investigate how new rhetorics of mothering can expand the realm of maternal care-givers beyond the biological definitions of motherhood. This diverse collection is at the cutting-edge of rhetoric, feminism, and motherhood studies, and the chapters challenge the confines of biological parenting as heteronormative within the neo-liberal nuclear family. The contributors examine, how despite the diversity of parental relationships, many are excluded by the understanding of mothers biologically tied to their children. The volume seeks to expose the underpinnings of biological primacy and argues that 21st-century families and familial circumstances are ill-served by biological ideology. Topics include Re-Imagining Queer Black Motherhood, Chicana Feminist approaches to reproductive justice, the commercialization and medicalization of infertility, and ableism and motherhood. This is a unique and fascinating book suitable for students and scholars in gender studies, sexuality studies, communication studies, sociology, and cultural studies

    Abstract: class Culture, Technology and the Image explores the technologies deployed when images are archived, accessed and distributed. The chapters discuss the ways in which habits and techniques used in learning and communicating knowledge about images are affected by technological developments. The volume discusses a wide range of issues, including access and participation; research, pedagogy and teaching; curation and documentation; circulation and re-use; and conservation and preservation.〈br /〉 〈br /〉 The book illustrates how knowledge about images is intertwined with the methods that are used to store, retrieve and analyse those images and the information associated with them. Focusing on the implications of technology for processes and practices brings into view the permeable nature of boundaries between such disciplines as art history, media studies, museum studies and archiving. As such, this text will appeal to a broad academic audience, including art historians interested in the digital; media studies scholars; digital humanities scholars interested in expanding beyond textual scholarship; as well as new students in any of these fields

    Abstract: Liberals have been arguing for nearly a century that racism is fundamentally an individual problem of extremist beliefs. Responding to Nazism, thinkers like gay rights pioneer Magnus Hirschfeld and anthropologist Ruth Benedict called for teaching people, especially poor people, to be less prejudiced. Here lies the origin of today 39 liberal antiracism, from diversity training to Hollywood activism. Meanwhile, a more radical antiracism flowered in the Third World. Anticolonial revolutionaries traced racism to the broad economic and political structures of modernity. Thinkers like C.L.R. James, Claudia Jones, and Frantz Fanon showed how racism was connected to colonialism and capitalism, a perspective adopted even by Martin Luther King.Today, liberal antiracism has proven powerless against structural oppression. As Arun Kundnani demonstrates, white liberals can heroically confront their own whiteness all they want, yet these structures remain.This deeply researched and swift-moving narrative history tells the story of the two antiracisms and their fates. As neoliberalism reordered the world in the last decades of the twentieth century, the case became clear: fighting racism means striking at its capitalist roots

    Abstract: Climate change is a reality, and communities around the world are now facing significant environmental problems – rising global temperatures leading to increased risk of flooding, fire, and sea level rise, resulting in the destruction of property and social infrastructure, loss of biodiversity and tangible and intangible cultural heritage, and damage to economies. Little wonder then that the online conference held on 30 September 2021 with the title “Ecomuseums and Climate Action” attracted more than one hundred participants from countries whose communities are facing these problems. This book presents the results of this conference where heritage experts, community activists, curators, politicians and academics from several countries, explored how ecomuseums and community museums are acting as catalysts for transition, renewal, and sustainable development and how they might effectively contribute to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals and climate action. How can these organisations best contribute to the debate about the climate crisis and promote local action? Central to those actions are encouraging local people to recognise how important their cultural, natural and intangible cultural heritage is in making places special and giving a sense of belonging, why that heritage should be sustained, and how heritage assets can be used to promote climate action. This book – with its remarkable collection of essays from around the world – demonstrates how small local actions, considered together, can have a dramatic and far-reaching impact. It will be warmly welcomed by anyone interested in climate action, heritage and museum studies, and environmental issues. They sustain the global economy, set cultural trends, produce greenhouse gas emissions and consume energy; they attract migration flows and foster new political waves. While cities were supposed to be declining back in the 1980s, the globalised economy has established them as crucial world hubs leading billions of people on every continent, both at the top and the bottom of the social ladder, to move to cities. Today, global cities cry out for a more prominent role. But why and to what extent do they matter? Can they really stand alone in the global arena? How are they interacting with governments and multilateral organisations? From climate change to connectivity, from inequalities to migration: what is their contribution to key global challenges?

    Abstract: James Meese argues that there is a growing risk of a platform-dependent press, a development that threatens liberal democracies across the world. The book provides the first comprehensive account of how platform dependence manifests in the news media sector. Platform dependence is a concept used to describe what happens when businesses or an entire sector, become reliant on one or more digital platforms for its survival. The situation is occurring across the news industry, to the extent that it is difficult to imagine the production, distribution, and long-term survival of news in liberal democracies without the involvement of platforms.With governments, regulators and citizens increasingly concerned about platform power, Digital Platforms and the Press is the first book to highlight the long-term economic and social consequences of platform dependence for the news sector. Featuring a rich selection of case-studies and written in an accessible style, Digital Platforms and the Press provides a strong grounding in relevant debates for the interested student reader, and important takeaways for subject matter experts in journalism studies and media policy. Digital Platforms and the Press will be of interest to journalism and media policy scholars, other scholars in communication, as well as industry practitioners and policymakers

    Abstract: strong The ebook edition of this title is Open Access, thanks to Knowledge Unlatched funding, and freely available to read online.strong The COP27 climate change conference in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt made it clear that fighting global warming will require continuing commitment, cooperation, and collaborative action from multiple constituencies around the world. Urging readers from the Global North to rethink their approaches and potential contributions to long-term change, 〈em〉Empowering Female Climate Change Activists in the Global South explains how woman climate change leaders are confronting patriarchal structures to achieve social justice. Examining the lived experiences of woman climate change activists based in rural areas, Peg Spitzer presents eighty-five original interviews that feature women whose careers in business, education, politics, and the arts have championed women’s rights in Asia, environmental defenders who have established projects in Asia, Africa, and Latin America, and woman farmers in three Indian villages who have faced climate-related droughts and floods. Suggesting ways in which successful climate change amelioration and adaptation led by women in the Global South may be replicated elsewhere, Spitzer also considers how NGOs and other organizations from the Global North can best contribute to facilitating positive changes in the communities where they work by focusing on empathetic cooperation. Addressing the urgent need to develop gender-just solutions that uplift and empower those who are experiencing environmental degradation in their communities, Empowering Female Climate Change Activists in the Global South uncovers the flaws in current combative structures and strategies and re-examines scholarly research at the nexus of feminism, transnational advocacy, and hierarchies of need

    Abstract: In this volume, the previously relatively unknown memoirs of the Austrian historian Albert Jäger (1801-1891) are published for the first time in a scholarly annotated edition. Through his long life, his multiple relationships and his various fields of activity as a clergyman, politician and scholar, Albert Jäger became a remarkable witness of his time. The memoirs offer special insights into the history of education and science, but also into the everyday, social and religious history of the Habsburg Monarchy in the 19th century

    Abstract: Explores cities of exile from different perspectives and presents different methods and sources for exile and urban studies. The essays are written by internationally recognized scholars, and contain a wide range of themes including mapping, oral history, queerness, photography. This book will make a significant contribution to the theory and methodology of research on historical exile, cities and modernities, as well as present multidisciplinary exile research from an urban perspective.With a blend of case studies, and theoretical approaches, it interweaves histories of modernism and exile in different urban environments and focuses on historical dislocations in the first half of the twentieth century, when artistic and urban movements constituted themselves in global exchange. Although this book takes a historical perspective, it is written with an awareness of current flight movements and will make a significant contribution to the theory and methodology of research on exile.The knowledge of previous historical exile experiences is important for the understanding of contemporary flight movements: after all, these are not singular phenomena. For migration movements in the first half of the 20th century and for those of today, it is equally possible to speak of urban centres of attraction for refugees: Today, Berlin is a European metropolis of exile; in the 1930s and 1940s, Paris, Prague, London, New York, Istanbul and Shanghai were destinations for refugees.With contributions from Maddalena Alvi, Ekaterina Aygün, Claudia Cendales Paredes, Julia Eichenberg, Margit Franz, Nils Grosch, Mareike Hetschold, Louis Kaplan, Laura Karp Lugo, Katya Knyazeva, Merve Köksal, Rachel Lee, Chris McConville, Anna Messner, Alexis Nuselovici, Robert Pascoe, Valentina Pino Reyes, Helene Roth, Valeria Sánchez Michel, Marine Schütz, Seza Sinanlar Uslu, Felicitas Söhner, Mareike Schwarz, Marina Sorokina, Xin Tong, Diana Wechsler, Jessica Williams Stark and Federico Vitelli

    Abstract: Der vorliegende Band untersucht Muße-Diskurse und -Praktiken angesichts der einschneidenden Umbrüche in Russland ab 1917. Es gilt, Konzepte von Muße hinsichtlich ihrer Realisierung oder ihres systembedingten Ausbleibens in der Sowjetunion zu reflektieren. Den Anfang machen philosophische Untersuchungen zu den relevanten sozialistischen Theorien und ihrer russischen bzw. sowjetischen Rezeption sowie Analysen der Muße-Semantik in der sowjetischen Kultur. In interdisziplinär ausgerichteten Beiträgen von Forschenden aus Deutschland und Russland werden im Weiteren die Funktionen von Muße-Diskursen aus breiter kulturwissenschaftlicher Perspektive beleuchtet. Somit lassen sich die unterschiedlichen Manifestationen dieser ideologisch gleicherweise idealisierten wie dämonisierten Muße in künstlerischen Werken, in der konkreten gesellschaftlichen Praxis und jenen programmatischen Schriften, mit denen diese Praxis angeleitet werden sollte, präzise analysieren

    Abstract: The Book of Ben Sira, written in Hebrew in the early second century BCE, is often regarded as containing the earliest references to the canon of the Hebrew Bible / Old Testament. In contrast, Alma Brodersen examines methodological and historical issues regarding the beginning of the biblical canon and Ben Sira, and demonstrates that the book itself - as distinct from the later Prologue to its Greek translation - does not actually refer to texts as canonical. In addition, a systematic analysis of key passages in Ben Sira 38-39 and 44-50 in Hebrew and Greek uncovers similarities with other ancient texts which are not canonical today but preserved in the Dead Sea Scrolls. Far from proving the existence of the biblical canon in his day, Ben Sira's book indicates instead the importance of oral teaching and the relevance of a wide range of traditions
