September 2023Queer Studies
Schlüsseltexte
by Mike Laufenberg, Ben Trott
Seit drei Jahrzehnten untersuchen Queer Studies die Macht geschlechtlicher und sexueller Normen – und wie diese infrage gestellt werden. Sie erforschen die komplexen Zusammenhänge von Sexualität, Geschlecht, Rassismus, Klasse und Nation. Dieser Band versammelt klassische und neuere Schlüsseltexte der anglophonen Queer Studies in deutscher Sprache, von Judith Butler und Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick bis Cathy Cohen und José Esteban Muñoz. Er führt in die wichtigsten theoretischen Positionen ein, macht mit den zentralen Entwicklungslinien des Diskurses vertraut und präsentiert wegweisende queere Analysen zu Kapitalismus, Migration, Geopolitik, Behinderung, Aktivismus, Kultur und Subkultur.

September 2017Freiheit
Zeitgenössische Texte zu einer philosophischen Kontroverse
by Philipp Schink
Wie sieht ein überzeugendes Verständnis der Freiheit von Individuen in Gesellschaft und Politik aus? Welche philosophischen Traditionen helfen bei der Beantwortung dieser Frage? Welcher analytische Zugang ist geboten? Das in den 1990er Jahren wiedererwachte Interesse an einer theoretischen Reflexion der Freiheit hat seither zu einer Reihe von bahnbrechenden Studien geführt, die an einflussreiche Beiträge aus der zweiten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts anschließen, wie sie etwa Isaiah Berlin, Hannah Arendt oder Friedrich August von Hayek geliefert haben. Der Band versammelt sowohl diese Klassiker als auch diejenigen Texte, die im Zentrum der aktuellen Debatte stehen: von Charles Taylor, Philip Pettit, Quentin Skinner, Rainer Forst, Gerald Cohen, Nancy Hirschmann u. a. Er bietet so eine umfassende Einführung in eine der lebhaftesten und wichtigsten philosophischen Kontroversen der Gegenwart.

Humanities & Social SciencesJuly 2010Using Europe: territorial party strategies in a multi-level system
by Eve Hepburn
This book explores how regional political parties use Europe to advance their territorial projects in times of rapid state restructuring. It examines the ways in which decentralization and supranational integration have encouraged regional parties to pursue their strategies across multiple territorial levels. This book constitutes the first attempt to unravel the complexities of how nationalist and statewide parties manoeuvre around the twin issues of European integration and decentralization, and exploit the shifting linkages within multi-level political systems. In a detailed comparative examination of three cases - Scotland, Bavaria and Sardinia - over a thirty-year period, the book explores how integration has altered the nature of territorial party competition and identifies the limits of Europe for territorial projects. In addressing these issues, this work moves beyond present scholarship on multi-level governance to explain the diversity of regional responses to Europe. By providing important new insights and empirical research on the conduct of territorial party politics, and an innovative model of territorial mobilization in Europe, this book will be of great interest to students and scholars of comparative politics, European studies, regionalism and federalism, political parties and devolution. ;

Humanities & Social SciencesJune 2012Thinking towards humanity
Themes from Norman Geras
by David Aaronovitch, Stephen de Wijze, Ophelia Benson, Eve Gerrard, Gideon Calder
How should we respond to the inhumanity that suffused the twentieth Century and continues in the present one? Has there been an adequate treatment of this issue by the political left? Questions such as these are treated in this, the first scholarly book to combine academic and blogging approaches to some of the major political issues of the day. It does this by focusing on the work of Norman Geras - Marxist, political philosopher and blogger - and developing the central themes of his work such as crimes against humanity, the Holocaust, Marxism, and the means/ends problem in politics. It contains contributions by famous political philosophers such as Michael Walzer, Hillel Steiner and David McLennan, and bloggers and journalists such as David Aaronovitch, Nick Cohen and Ophelia Benson. The book contains a unique response by Geras in which he draws together the various themes it covers. It will be of interest to all who are concerned with these pressing political issues of our time. The book will be particularly relevant for those with an academic or general interest in politics, philosophy, sociology, genocide studies, applied ethics, international relations and law. It will also be of interest to bloggers and all those who regard new technology as having significant implications for public debate on these issues. ;

October 1994Revolutionen in der Naturwissenschaft
by I. Bernard Cohen, Werner Kutschmann
Wie konnte sich der Ausdruck ›Revolution‹, der ursprünglich immerhin ein Terminus für astronomische Vorgänge, Umläufe oder Umdrehungen von Himmelskörpern, gewesen war, in einen Begriff der politischen Macht- und Herrschaftsgeschichte verwandeln? Und wie kam es dazu, dass dieser gesellschaftspolitische Revolutionsbegriff wiederum auf die Naturwissenschaften und deren Erkenntnisgeschichte angewandt wurde? Ist es überhaupt legitim, den Begriff der politischen Revolution einschließlich all seiner machttheoretischen Konnotationen auf den Siegeszug einer naturwissenschaftlichen Idee, eines erkenntnisleitenden Paradigmas, zu übertragen, wie es uns die theoretische Wissenschaftsgeschichtsschreibung seit Th. S. Kuhn lehrt? Die sind die Fragen, mit denen Cohens Untersuchung über Revolutionen in der Naturwissenschaft anhebt. Cohen verfolgt einen Zeitraum von mehr als vier Jahrhunderten umspannt und nahezu alle wichtigen Bereiche der Naturwissenschaften erfasst – von der Astronomie bis zur Evolutionstheorie, von den Geowissenschaften bis zur Freudschen Psychoanalyse, von der Galileischen Kinematik bis zur Einsteinschen Relativitätstheorie und Atomphysik -, die historische Kariere eines Begriffs, der sich in mehreren Wandlungen und Metamorphosen durch die Naturwissenschafts- und Sozialgeschichte hindurchzieht, um letztlich als der entscheidende Begriff des mit Kuhn vollzogenen sociological turn in der Wissenschaftsgeschichtsschreibung eine neue Auferstehung zu erleben.

Humanities & Social SciencesMay 2020English nationalism, Brexit and the Anglosphere
Wider still and wider
by Ben Wellings
This is the first book to examine the relationship between English nationalism, Brexit and 'the Anglosphere' - a politically-contested term used to denote English-speaking countries sharing cultural and historical roots with the UK. In the aftermath of the UK's EU referendum some pointed to a 'revolt' of those 'left behind' by globalisation. Ben Wellings argues instead that Brexit was and is an elite project, firmly situated within the tradition of an expansive English nationalism. Far from being parochial 'Little Englanders', elite Brexiteers sought to replace the European Union with trade and security alliances between 'true friends' and 'traditional allies' in the Anglosphere. Brexit was thus reassuringly presented as a giant leap into the known. As the UK's future relationship with the rest of the world is negotiated, the need to understand this 'English moment' has never been more pressing.

Literary studies: c 1500 to c 1800November 2011The Humorous Magistrate (Arbury)
by Edited by Margaret Jane Kidnie
The Humorous Magistrate is a seventeenth-century satiric comedy extant in two highly distinctive manuscripts. This, the earliest and clearly working draft of the play is bound with three other plays (including The Emperor's Favourite, published by the Malone Society in 2010) in a volume in the library of the Newdigate family of Arbury Hall, Nuneaton, Warwickshire. The second version, showing yet another stage of revision not found in the Arbury manuscript and orientated towards performance, was purchased by the University of Calgary from the English antiquarian Edgar Osborne in 1972. The relationship between the manuscripts was discovered in 2005. The anonymous play has been attributed to John Newdigate III (1600-1642). Like The Emperor's Favourite, it takes aim at the court; its particular object of satire is governmental strategies under the Personal Rule of Charles I. The play appears in print for the first time in these separate editions. The volumes are illustrated with several plates, some provided for comparative purposes.

October 2009Die Logik der Gefühle
Kritik der emotionalen Intelligenz
by Aaron Ben Ze'ev, Friedrich Griese
Warum weinen wir im Kino? Wie geht man am besten mit zerstörerischen Gefühlen wie Eifersucht um? Obwohl Gefühle unser ganzes Leben durchziehen, wurden ihre Natur, ihre Ursachen und ihre Wirkung erst in letzter Zeit von Sozialwissenschaftlern und Philosophen untersucht. Doch trotz des steigenden wissenschaftlichen Interesses an diesem Thema reichen die empirischen Ergebnisse immer noch nicht an unser intuitives Wissen heran. Im ersten Teil betrachtet Ben Ze'ev die typischen Charakteristika und Bestandteile der Emotionen, die Unterschiede zwischen Gefühlen und anderen affektiven Formen, er behandelt zentrale Themen wie emotionale Intelligenz, geregelte Emotionen, Emotion und Moralität. Der zweite Teil beschäftigt sich mit einzelnen Gefühlen: Neid, Eifersucht, Schadenfreude, Mitgefühl, Mitleid, Ärger, Haß, Abscheu, Liebe, Lust, sexuelles Begehren, Glück, Traurigkeit, Stolz, Bedauern und Scham.

Humanities & Social SciencesMarch 2023Presence
The strange science and true stories of the unseen other
by Ben Alderson-Day
In this enthralling book, Ben Alderson-Day explores one of the most curious experiences known to humankind: the universal, disturbing sense that someone or something is there when we are alone - the feeling of an unseen presence. When and why do presences emerge? What does this feeling mean and where does it come from? And how can we even begin to understand a phenomenon that can be transformative for those who experience it and yet so hard to put into words? The answers to these questions lie in this fascinating exploration through cutting-edge research in contemporary psychology, psychiatry, neuroscience and philosophy. Taking the reader on a riveting and emotional journey, Presence offers remarkable insights into the experience of felt presence and how it relates to a range of medical conditions, including sleep paralysis, dementia and Parkinson's. This compelling story will stoke the fascination of sceptics and ardent believers alike who are drawn to the mystery of the unseen.

Individual film directors, film-makersFebruary 2017Julien Duvivier
by Series edited by Robert Ingram, Ben McCann
This book is the first ever English-language study of Julien Duvivier (1896-1967), once considered one of the world's great film filmmakers. It provides new contextual and analytical readings of his films that identify his key themes and techniques, trace patterns of continuity and change, and explore critical assessments of his work over time. His career began in the silent era and ended as the French New Wave was winding down. In between, Duvivier made over sixty films in a long and at times difficult career. He was adept at literary adaptation, biblical epic, and film noir, and this groundbreaking volume illustrates in great detail Duvivier's eclecticism, technical efficiency and visual fluency in works such as Panique (1946) and Voici le temps des assassins (1956). It will particularly appeal to scholars and students of French cinema looking for examples of a director who could straddle the realms of the popular and the auteur.

Non-graphic art formsMay 2012The 'do-it-yourself' artwork
Participation from Fluxus to New Media
by Edited by Anna Dezeuze
Viewers of contemporary art are often invited to involve themselves actively in artworks, by entering installations, touching objects, performing instructions or clicking on interactive websites. Why have artists sought to engage spectators in these new forms of participation? In what ways does active participation affect the viewer's experience and the status of the artwork? Spanning a range of practices including kinetic art, happenings, environments, performance, installations, relational and new media art from the 1950s to the present, this critical anthology sheds light on the history and specificity of artworks that only come to life when you - the viewer - are invited to 'do it yourself.' Rather than a specialist topic in the history of twentieth- and twenty-first century art, the 'do-it-yourself' artwork raises broader issues concerning the role of the viewer in art, the status of the artwork and the socio-political relations between art and its contexts.

May 2017Die Ebenen
Roman
by Gerald Murnane, Rainer G. Schmidt, Ben Lerner
In den Ebenen im Outback, auf ihren riesigen Ländereien, leben Familien, die eine eigentümliche, teils fort-, teils rückschrittliche Kultur pflegen. Besessen von der eigenen Überlieferung, heuern sie Maler, Musiker, Schriftsteller und Denker an, um jeden Aspekt ihres Lebens dokumentieren zu lassen. Ein junger Filmemacher kommt in die Region, um ein Porträt jener Ebenen zu realisieren. Doch statt in die Landschaft zu gehen, vergräbt er sich in der labyrinthartigen Bibliothek seines Gönners, durch die, auf verschiedenen Zeit-Ebenen, Projektionen von Frauen geistern. Alles treibt auf »Offenbarungen« hin … Die Ebenen ist ein moderner Klassiker der australischen Literatur und erzählt – in einer hypnotisierenden Prosa von akrobatischem Bau – die Geschichte einer existenziell aufgeladenen Suche und eines sonderbaren Selbstverlustes. Mit einem Nachwort von Ben Lerner

July 1989Auf der Suche nach einer jüdischen Theologie
Briefwechsel
by Schalom Ben-Chorin, Hans-Joachim Schoeps, Julius H. Schoeps, Julius H. Schoeps
Der Briefwechsel zwischen dem Schriftsteller Schalom Ben-Chorin und dem Religionshistoriker Hans-Joachim Schoeps, der sich über vier Jahrzehnte (1934-1979) hinzieht, kreist im wesentlichen um ein Thema: Jüdische Theologie. In politischen Fragen Antipoden - empfand Schoeps seine preußische Herkunft als Schicksal, das seine Existenz unwandelbar formte, bekannte sich Schalom Ben-Chorin frühzeitig zum Zionismus und zog daraus seine Konsequenzen -, verband beide die Erkenntnis der Notwendigkeit jüdischer Theologie in unserer Zeit. Schoeps, Franz Rosenzweig folgend, ging von der Bejahung der Galuth (Diaspora) aus, während Ben-Chorin die Verwirklichung des Judentums primär in Israel sah und noch heute sieht. Beiden ging es um die Aufzeigung der Demarkationslinien des jüdischen Glaubens, von dem sie meinten, daß er aus der Bewußtseinslage des heutigen Menschen, in Konfrontation mit dem Komplex der Überlieferung, gewonnen werden sollte.
