October 2010Jüdischer Almanach. Liebe
by Gisela Dachs, Nati Shochat
Daß der Mensch fürs Zusammenleben geschaffen sei, erklärt schon die Bibel in der Schöpfungsgeschichte. Und weil es nicht gut ist, allein zu sein, bemüht man sich seither in jüdischen Kreisen – vielleicht noch mehr als anderswo – Zweisamkeiten zu stiften. Liebe aber gibt es nicht nur zwischen Mann und Frau oder bei gleichgeschlechtlichen Paaren. Der Jüdische Almanach geht dem breitgefächerten Spektrum von Beziehungen nach, die im Judentum eine Rolle spielen. Es gibt auch die Liebe zu Gott, Gottes Liebe zu seinem auserwählten Volk, die Liebe zwischen Eltern und Kindern und Nächstenliebe. Die Beiträge beschäftigen sich mit außergewöhnlichen Liebesbeziehungen in der Geschichte, mit Mendelssohns Brautbriefen und Rosa Luxemburgs Liebeskorrespondenzen, mit der Liebe im Ghetto und in frühzionistischen Kommunen, der Definition von Liebe im Talmud, dem Thema Liebe im israelischen Film und postmodernen Datingsritualen in Tel Aviv.

Humanities & Social SciencesFebruary 2017Curating empire
Museums and the British imperial experience
by Sarah Longair, John McAleer
Curating empire explores the diverse roles played by museums and their curators in moulding and representing the British imperial experience. This collection demonstrates how individuals, their curatorial practices, and intellectual and political agendas influenced the development of a variety of museums across the globe. Taken together, these contributions suggest that museums are not just sites for accessing history but need to be considered as historical sites of significance in themselves. Individual essays examine the work of curators in museums in Britain and the colonies, the historical display and interpretation of empire in Britain, and the establishment of 'museum networks' in the British imperial context. Curating empire sheds new light on the relationship between museums, as repositories for objects and cultural institutions for conveying knowledge, and the politics of culture and the formation of identities throughout the British Empire.

Humanities & Social SciencesApril 2026Elites in civil society
A comparative perspective
by Niklas Altermark, Malin Arvidson, Jayeon Lee, Roberto Scaramuzzino
Where civil society is often seen as a driving force for equality, this book addresses a challenging topic: civil society elites. Drawing on a comprehensive study of Italy, Poland, Sweden, and the UK, this ground-breaking research investigates the often-overlooked power structures within civil society. By combining elite studies with civil society research, the book uncovers how a distinct civil society elite emerges and how it interacts with leaders in politics and business. The findings reveal a fascinating paradox. While this elite may be a powerful engine for social change, its integration into wider power circles risks reproducing the very inequalities it seeks to dismantle. By exploring how this elite can become disconnected from its grassroots, the book provides essential insights into the future of civil society and its democratic promise.
