May 2023Hinter Mauern
Geschlossene Grenzen als Gefahr für die offene Gesellschaft
by Volker M. Heins, Frank Wolff
»Wir müssen diese Bilder aushalten«, sagte Sachsens Ministerpräsident Michael Kretschmer im November 2021 angesichts frierender Geflüchteter an der Grenze zwischen Polen und Belarus. Seine Worte machen deutlich, was oft in Vergessenheit gerät: Grenzen sind nicht nur Hindernisse für Menschen, die sie von außerhalb überwinden wollen. Sie verändern auch die Gesellschaften, die sich abzuschotten versuchen.Volker M. Heins und Frank Wolff zeigen, welche Wirkung Mauern und die Abwehr von Migration »nach innen« entfalten: Das Drängen der EU auf »sichere Außengrenzen« untergräbt das europäische Versprechen auf Frieden und Rechtsstaatlichkeit. Letztendlich gefährden befestigte Grenzen gerade jene demokratischen Werte und Strukturen, die sie zu schützen vorgeben.

Humanities & Social SciencesMarch 2011An Historical Atlas of Staffordshire
by A. D. M. Phillips, C. B. Phillips
Within its ancient boundaries, Staffordshire is a county of diverse and contrasting historic landscapes. World-renowned industrial complexes sit alongside agricultural systems; castles rub shoulders with urban-industrial housing; the cathedral centre of a vast diocese lies close to the birthplace of primitive Methodism; overtly planned landscapes mingle with the uplands of the Moorlands and the heathlands of Cannock Chase. These many and varied landscapes are both products and reflections of a multiplicity of histories, and students of the county have been keen to explore and relate these pasts. However, no systematic attempt has previously been made to express these accounts in spatial form. This book seeks to demonstrate by maps the various histories that contribute to the diversity of Staffordshire. With its succinct discussions and detailed map presentations of these themes, incorporating new thinking and recent research, the atlas provides an innovative and major contribution to the study of the history of Staffordshire. ;

Thriller über Mobbing ab 14
by M. A. Bennett, Bea Reiter
Wer willst du sein: Opfer oder Täter? Nach jahrelangem heftigem Mobbing an der Schule hofft Link, dass sie alle tot sind. Dass sie umgekommen bei dem Flugzeugabsturz, den er wie durch ein Wunder überlebt hat. Aber sein Hochgefühl währt nur kurz. Denn Links Mitschüler sind alle noch da - sie sind mit ihm auf einer tropischen Insel gestrandet und mehr als bereit, ihn weiter zu erniedrigen. Ziemlich schnell jedoch ist klar: Hier in der Wildnis steht die Schulhierarchie auf dem Kopf. Das Recht des körperlich Stärkeren ist außer Kraft gesetzt und einzig Link als Nerd verfügt über das Wissen zum Überleben. Sie haben dich gedemütigt, bis du am Boden lagst. Was würdest du tun, wenn endlich DU am Drücker wärst? Wie schlimm wäre deine Rache? Jetzt machst DU die Regeln. Jetzt wird das Opfer zum Täter. Provokant und schillernd böse: Dieser Thriller der Extraklasse ist bis zur letzten Seite ein packender Kampf ums Überleben! Für alle Thriller- und Krimi-Leser ab 14.

Communicative ethics and the use of force in Kosovo
by Naomi Head, Peter Lawler, Emmanuel Pierre Guittet
When is the use of force for humanitarian purposes legitimate? The book examines this question through one of the most controversial examples of humanitarian intervention in the post Cold War period: the 1999 NATO intervention in Kosovo. Justifying Violence applies a critical theoretical approach to an interrogation of the communicative practices which underpin claims to legitimacy for the use of force by actors in international politics. Drawing on the theory of communicative ethics, the book develops an innovative conceptual framework which contributes a critical communicative dimension to the question of legitimacy that extends beyond the moral and legal approaches so often applied to the intervention in Kosovo. The empirical application of communicative ethics offers a provocative and nuanced account which contests conventional interpretations of the legitimacy of NATO's intervention. ;

The ArtsApril 2002The Paris jigsaw
Internationalism and the city's stages
by Maria M. Delgado, Maggie B. Gale, Peter Lichtenfels
Paris has always exerted a magnetic force on artists; it has historically offered safety to those escaping oppressive regimes in Europe and farther afield. In recent years it has welcomed performers, artists and intellectuals from all over the world, offering strategies for the practice of theatre in a new Europe of ever-shifting boundaries. This book, once again available in paperback, examines the creation and development of communities of actors, directors, designers and playwrights in Paris over the past thirty years. It shows how the willingness of the city to welcome international influences has enriched its creative life. Many of the most important trends and new developments in the art of theatre have been the direct result of the creative combination of influences from all over the world. This study demonstrates how the pioneering work of Brook, Boal, Mnouchkine, Lecoq and many others has been able to draw on this vibrant, multi-cultural mix, in turn creating new work that has enriched theatre's potential to enlarge our thinking and our imagination. ;
