        Dirtbag dreams

        A history of mountain, ultra and trail running

        by Carl Morris

        The first book to share the untold story of this unique sport, from its origins in the Victorian era to the present day. Over the past two decades, mountain, ultra and trail running has experienced a massive boom in participation, media attention and corporate consumerism. Once little more than an oddball recreation for mountain athletics romantics, the sport has become a mass activity in ways that were previously unimaginable. In Dirtbag dreams, Carl Morris offers the first complete account of mountain, ultra and trail running in North America and Britain. Revealing the sport's eccentric Victorian origins, he traces its development through 200 years of history, travelling from the Sierra Nevada and the English Lake District to the streets of London and New York. Packed with gripping races and colourful characters, Dirtbag dreams is the essential companion for anyone who wants to understand this unique endurance sport.

        Folklore

        A journey through the past and present

        by Owen Davies, Ceri Houlbrook

        A gripping guide to the weird yet everyday world of British folklore. In this ground-breaking book, two leading experts provide the definitive guide to British folklore past and present. Owen Davies and Ceri Houlbrook explore folklore in all its remarkable variations, from village rituals and fairy tales to UFO legends and internet fanfiction. Travelling through a landscape of witches, wizards and wicker men, they reveal how folklore has been researched and written about in the past and show how it continues to be lived in the present. At the same time, they provide the reader with a valuable toolkit for understanding how to interpret the diverse examples given. The book's key message is that folklore is much more than the fossilised remains of a distant, rural past. Folklore is and always has been ubiquitous, dynamic and political. It is a living tradition that draws from many sources, including migrant communities, and is forever being renewed and updated.

        Die pragmatische Wende

        Sprachspiegelpragmatik oder Transzendentalpragmatik? Herausgegeben von Dietrich Böhler, Tore Nordenstam und Gunnar Skirbekk. Übersetzung Matthias Kaiser

        by Gunnar Skirbekk, Dietrich Böhler, Tore Nordenstam, Mathias Kaiser

        Die Gegenwartsphilosophie war lange von einem schroffen Gegensatz zwischen analytischer Philosophie angelsächsischen Ursprungs und kontinentalen Strömungen wie Hermeneutik und Phänomenologie gekennzeichnet. In der letzten Zeit haben sich nicht zuletzt Karl-Otto Apel und Jürgen Habermas darum bemüht, die Einseitigkeit der herkömmlichen Position durch eine neue Synthese zu überwinden, die eine pragmatische Wende darstellt. Hier – wie auch in Norwegen – unternimmt man den Versuch, die philosophischen Einzelgebiete auf einer pragmatischen, kommunikations- und handlungsreflexiven Grundlage systematisch aufzubauen, u. a. in Anknüpfung an Ludwig Wittgensteins Spätphilosophie einerseits, an Transzendentalphilosophie und Kritische Theorie andererseits. Einsetzend mit einer Kritik des modernen Objektivismus, den die Carnap-Morris-Semiotik und die behavioristische Wissenschaftstheorie von Arne Næss sakrosankt zu machen schienen, hat sich in Norwegen eine fruchtbare Pragmatikdebatte entwickelt. Sie läßt die positivistische Verabsolutisierung der hypothetisch-deduktiven Methode (DN-Schema) ebenso hinter sich wie die spieltheoretische Verabsolutierung des instrumentell-strategischen Handlungstyps. Die Debatte spitzt sich in der Alternative zu: Wittgenstein-Pragmatik oder »Frankfurter Pragmatik«. Dieser Band, der dem deutschen Publikum erstmals eine Auswahl moderner norwegischer Philosophie präsentiert, ist jener Debatte gewidmet. Er enthält Beiträge norwegischer Autoren und des deutschen Mitherausgebers zur philosophischen Auseinandersetzung zwischen einer kontext- und beispielorientierten Praxeologie und den universalistischen Ansprüchen der Transzendentalpragmatik.
