Die Kriminalpsychiatrie ist eine Disziplin im Zwielicht. Sie ist angesiedelt zwischen zwei Wissenschaften unterschiedlicher Ausrichtung: der Medizin und dem Strafrecht. Obwohl von Ärzten betrieben, steht die forensische Psychiatrie im Dienste der Strafrechtsordnung, und zwar mit Sicherheit nicht einer liberalen und progressiven. Im Gegenteil: dieses Buch zeigt auf, daß die Kriminalpsychiatrie durch ihr Beharren auf einem somatisch-biologistisch orientierten Krankheitsbegriff ein repressives Strafrecht stützt und legitimiert. Was Menschen durch Menschen erleiden, und zwar in Kindheit und Jugend, und was ihre Charakterstruktur früh deformiert, gilt der Kriminalpsychiatrie nicht als entlastend, sondern wird auf das Konto der individuell meßbaren Schuld gebucht. Exkulpiert wird nur die Gesellschaft.

Completed only two months before the author's execution in Granada at the age of thirty-eight, La casa de Bernarda Alba marks the completion of Lorca's 'trilogia de la tierra española' and is commonly held to be his greatest play. The theme of vitality and repression that runs as a leitmotif through his writings takes on a clearer social dimension in the 'drama de mujeres en los pueblos de España', with the presentation of a household of five unmarried daughters tyrannised by their mother's excessive concern with social class and obscurantist village morality. ;

This book examines key moments in which collective and state violence invigorated racialized social boundaries around Mexican and African Americans in the United States, and in which they violently contested them. Bringing anti-Mexican violence into a common analytical framework with anti-black violence, A savage song examines several focal points in this oft-ignored history, including the 1915 rebellion of ethnic Mexicans in South Texas, and its brutal repression by the Texas Rangers and the 1917 mutiny of black soldiers of the 24th Infantry Regiment in Houston, Texas, in response to police brutality. Aragon considers both the continuities and stark contrasts across these different moments: how were racialized constructions of masculinity differently employed? How did African and Mexican American men, including those in uniform, respond to the violence of racism? And how was their resistance, including their claims to manhood and nation, understood by law enforcement, politicians, and the press? Building on extensive archival research, the book examines how African and Mexican American men have been constructed as 'racial problems', investigating, in particular, their relationship with law enforcement and ideas about black and Mexican criminality.

Vladimir Putin has been ruling Russia for 25 years. There is no end in sight to his dictatorship. He relies on repression at home and is waging a war of destruction against a neighbouring country. The conflict with the West has long become a systemic conflict between an illiberal-autocratic ideology and liberal-democratic principles. Nothing will change as long as Putin remains in power. Nevertheless, as far as can be ascertained under unfree conditions, the majority of the population seems to be supporting Putin. Does this mean that too many people in Russia do not want democracy or peace? Will everything remain the same after Putin? Or is there a chance that Russia will eventually take a different, more democratic path? Whatever the outcome of the war in Ukraine, Russia is not going to disappear. We will still have to deal with our big neighbour in the east. This makes it all the more important to focus on longer-term developments. As a recognised expert on Russian history and society, the author outlines what the post-Putin era might look like. His in-depth analysis makes it clear that Russia is partly Putin, but Putin is not everything about Russia.

Seit der Päpstlichen Revolution des 11. Jahrhunderts waren alle Revolutionen solche des Rechts. Ein ums andre Mal brachten sie eine neue Verfassung und ein neues Recht hervor und veränderten die Gesellschaft im Ganzen. Dabei verbesserten sie die Anpassungsleistung der Gesellschaft und etablierten jeweils neue und erweiterte Gerechtigkeitsvorstellungen. An zahllosen Beispielen zeigt sich dabei die tiefe Ambivalenz des Rechts: es dient der Stabilisierung von Herrschaft, kann aber auch gegen sie zurückschlagen. Welche Bedeutung dieser zugleich repressive und emanzipatorische Charakter der Rechtsrevolutionen für die Entstehung der modernen Gesellschaft sowie für deren Entwicklung zur heutigen Weltgesellschaft hat, zeigt dieses Buch.

In seinen frühen Erzählungen entfaltet Cabrera Infante ein Kaleidoskop der kubanischen Gesellschaft zur Zeit des Batista-Regimes: vierzehn anrührende bis abstruse Szenarios von Alltag unter den Bedingungen der Diktatur. Fünfzehn Textvignetten umrahmen die Erzählungen: Schlaglichter auf die repressive Gewalt des Batista-Regimes, schlichte und gerade deshalb so bewegende Nachrufe auf die Opfer, Ihr lakonischer Stil nimmt vorweg, was in »Ansicht der Tropen im Morgengrauen« zum bestimmenden Merkmal wird, währen in den Erzählungen selbst bereits gegenwärtig ist, was den Autor mit dem Roman »Drei traurige Tiger« in die erste Riege der lateinamerikanischen Schriftsteller vorrücken ließ: seine virtuose Beherrschung aller Sprachregister.

Die Ukraine, der zweitgrößte europäische Staat, ist auf unserer literarischen Landkarte nicht einmal in Umrissen vorhanden. Juri Andruchowytsch, der international renommierteste ukrainische Autor, nimmt die begrenzten Kenntnisse seines Publikums in Westeuropa und in den USA ernst und bringt ihm in einer Reihe brillanter Essays diese unbekannte Region nahe. Jeder, der einmal die westliche Staatsgrenze der Ukraine überquert hat, erfährt, daß hier auch zehn Jahre nach der Unabhängigkeit noch immer eine Trennlinie verläuft: »zwischen Europa und etwas anderem«. Erfrischend im Ton, farbig im Detail und voller Ironie beschreibt er die postsowjetische Realität seines Landes: Lemberg und Kiew, Spuren des untergegangenen Galiziens und die Katastrophe von Tschernobyl, den Exodus der Bevölkerung Richtung Westen und die repressive Medienpolitik der Regierung, aber auch die sonderbare Existenz von Künstlern, Schriftstellern und Intellektuellen in einem Land, »aus dem man weggeht«.

Air policing was used in many colonial possessions, but its most effective incidence occurred in the crescent of territory from north-eastern Africa, through South-West Arabia, to North West Frontier of India. This book talks about air policing and its role in offering a cheaper means of 'pacification' in the inter-war years. It illuminates the potentialities and limitations of the new aerial technology, and makes important contributions to the history of colonial resistance and its suppression. Air policing was employed in the campaign against Mohammed bin Abdulla Hassan and his Dervish following in Somaliland in early 1920. The book discusses the relationships between air control and the survival of Royal Air Force in Iraq and between air power and indirect imperialism in the Hashemite kingdoms. It discusses Hugh Trenchard's plans to substitute air for naval or coastal forces, and assesses the extent to which barriers of climate and geography continued to limit the exercise of air power. Indigenous responses include being terrified at the mere sight of aircraft to the successful adaptation to air power, which was hardly foreseen by either the opponents or the supporters of air policing. The book examines the ethical debates which were a continuous undercurrent to the stream of argument about repressive air power methods from a political and operational perspective. It compares air policing as practised by other European powers by highlighting the Rif war in Morocco, the Druze revolt in Syria, and Italy's war of reconquest in Libya.
