        Die Grenzen kulturwissenschaftlicher Begriffsbildung

        Heidelberger Max-Weber-Vorlesungen 1982

        by Guy Oakes

        Dieses Buch soll dazu beitragen, die philosophischen Wurzeln von Webers Methodologie freizulegen und insbesondere den Zusammenhang seiner Position mit der Wertlehre Rickerts aufzuklären. Dabei bildet die Frage nach dem Verhältnis zwischen der Begründung der kulturwissenschaftlichen Objektivität bei Weber auf der einen und Rickerts Lösung des Problems der Wertobjektivität auf der anderen Seite den Kernpunkt der Untersuchung. Anhand der Bestimmung dieses Verhältnisses soll nicht nur gezeigt werden, daß Webers Begriff der kulturwissenschaftlichen Objektivität von Voraussetzungen ausgeht, die in Rickerts Werttheorie angelegt sind, sondern auch, daß es eben diese Voraussetzungen sind, die eine plausible Lösung des Objektivitätsproblems unmöglich machen.

        Bordering social reproduction

        Migrant mothers and children making lives in the shadows

        by Rachel Rosen, Eve Dickson

        Bordering social reproduction explores what happens when migrants subject to policies that seek to deny them the means of life nonetheless endeavour to make and sustain meaningful lives. Developing innovative theorisations of welfare bordering, the volume provides rich ethnographic insights into the everyday lives of destitute mothers and children who are denied mainstream welfare support in the United Kingdom due to their immigration status. This book shows how enforced destitution and debt work alongside detention and deportation as part of a tripartite of exclusionary technologies of the racial state. It advances the novel concept of weathering to comprehend mother's and children's life-making practices under duress - arguing that these are neither acts of heroic resilience nor solely symptomatic of lives rendered disposable, but indications of the fragilities of repressive migration regimes and, on occasion, refusals to accept their terms of existence.

        Max Webers Wissenschaftsprogramm

        Versuch einer methodischen Neuerschließung

        by Rainer Prewo

        Rainer Prewos Arbeit möchte zeigen, daß Webers Vorschläge für eine von möglichst präzisen Begriffen geleitete und erfahrungsorientierte historische Wissenschaft vom menschlichen Handeln zu einer eindrucksvoll konsistenten Programmatik sich zusammenschließen. Ausgehend von einer Abwägung der für Weber maßgebenden Impulse des südwestdeutschen Neukantianismus wird gezeigt, an welchen entscheidenden Punkten sich Weber insbesondere von Rickerts Wertphilosophie löst. Begriffe wie »Idealtypus« und »verstehende Soziologie« mußten gegen die Neukantianer durchgesetzt werden. Auch in der Frage der »Wertbeziehung« wissenschaftlichen Erkennens modifiziert Weber Rickerts Auffassungen beträchtlich.

        Good Evening, Good Night

        The cultural history of sleep

        by Karoline Walter

        What we associate with sleep is shaped by the culture we live in. Whereas the God of the Bible never sleeps, the sinful human falls asleep every night and is thus marked as an inferior being. In the Age of Enlightenment, (too much) sleep was considered a waste of strength, which could otherwise be used to change the world. These days, sleep seems to be subject to the same tenets of usefulness as everything else and is seen to assist with the optimization of one’s self. However, culture and technology also influence how we sleep: for example, the constant availability of light, the modern conditions of work and all sorts of distractions have meant that we no longer follow our natural rhythm – a first sleep before midnight and a second sleep after a longer period of wakefulness, during which we may be active. In “Good Evening, Good Night”, Karoline Walter uses numerous examples from history, literature and research to illustrate how sleep and sleeping have changed across cultures and eras – an entertaining read, certainly nothing to put you to sleep.

        What We Can Still Do!

        Basal Stimulation in End-of-life Care

        by Stephan Kostrzewa / Marion Kutzner

        Meeting those who are dying often leaves people feeling helpless and lost for words. Nurses face the questions “What can we still do?” and “How can we provide adequate support for the dying on their final journey?” The authors answer these questions by transferring the concept of basal stimulation to support for the dying and describe its possible applications in palliative care and hospice work. They document the differences between end-of-life care in hospices, hospitals and retirement homes. They describe how peoples’ experience, perception and bodily functions change during the dying process and what alleviates their symptoms. In so doing, they also demonstrate how nurses overcome hesitancy and insecurity through touch and support and allow hands and gestures to talk when verbal language falls silent.

        Das Herz steht nicht still

        Späte Gedichte 1960-1963

        by Sylvia Plath, Judith Zander

        1960 ist ein Jahr des Aufbruchs, Sylvia Plath zieht nach England und ihr einzig zu Lebzeiten veröffentlichter Gedichtband erscheint: Der Koloss. Kurz vor ihrem Tod, 1963, folgt ihr einziger Roman: Die Glasglocke. In den drei Jahren dazwischen schreibt Plath unerschöpflich und wird zweimal Mutter. »Es ist, als ob mein Herz ein Gesicht aufsetzte und in die Welt hinausginge.« Größte Verletzlichkeit prägt die Gedichte dieser Zeit gleichsam zuckersüßer Tage, »einzuwecken wie Obst«. Zwischen Leben schenken und Todesnähe entfaltet sich eine ergreifende, einmalige Kraft. Zum 90. Geburtstag versammelt Das Herz steht nicht still Sylvia Plaths monumentales lyrisches Spätwerk erstmals auf Deutsch. In der brillanten Übersetzung von Judith Zander wird erfahrbar, wie die Ikone feministischen Schreibens ihr Werk zur Vollendung brachte.
