View Rights PortalThis international and interdisciplinary volume investigates Protestant devotional identities in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century England. Divided into two sections, the book examines the 'sites' where these identities were forged - the academy, printing house, household, theatre and prison - and the 'types' of texts that expressed them - spiritual autobiographies, religious poetry and writings tied to the ars moriendi - providing a broad analysis of social, material and literary forms of devotion during England's Long Reformation. Through archival and cutting-edge research, a detailed picture of 'lived religion' emerges, which re-evaluates the pietistic acts and attitudes of well-known and recently discovered figures. To those studying and teaching religion and identity in early modern England, and anyone interested in the history of religious self-expression, these chapters offer a rich and rewarding read.
In welchem Verhältnis stehen Künste wie Literatur, Malerei und Musik, aber auch Architektur, Design und Computerspiel zueinander? Gibt es eine verbindende Einheit oder ist jede Kunst aus sich heraus zu begreifen? Die Reflexion über Einheit und Pluralität der Künste führt zu Kernfragen der Kunsttheorie nach dem Wesen der Kunst, nach den Medien und den Funktionen der Künste sowie zum zentralen Thema, ob die klassische Konstellation der Künste sich in der Nachmoderne aufgelöst hat. Dieses Kompendium bietet einen umfassenden Überblick über die Debatte und versammelt klassische Beiträge, u. a. von Theodor. W. Adorno, Clement Greenberg und Jean-Luc Nancy, sowie aktuelle Perspektiven, u. a. von Lydia Goehr, Gertrud Koch, Juliane Rebentisch, Peter Osborne und Martin Seel.
Waiting for the revolution is a volume of essays examining the diverse currents of British left-wing politics from 1956 to the present day. The book is designed to complement the previous volume, Against the grain: The far left in Britain from 1956, bringing together young and established academics and writers to discuss the realignments and fissures that maintain leftist politics into the twenty-first century. The two books endeavour to historicise the British left, detailing but also seeking to understand the diverse currents that comprise 'the far left'. Their objective is less to intervene in ongoing issues relevant to the left and politics more generally, than to uncover and explore the traditions and issues that have preoccupied leftist groups, activists and struggles. To this end, the book will appeal to scholars and anyone interested in British politics.
Als der Neurowissenschaftler Maxwell Bennett und der Philosoph Peter Hacker den Klassiker Philosophical Foundations of Neuroscience veröffentlichten, war dies die erste systematische Untersuchung der begrifflichen Grundlagen der Neurowissenschaften und der Startschuss für den bis heute intensiv geführten Kampf um die Deutungsmacht über den menschlichen Geist. Besonders kritisch fiel seinerzeit die Auseinandersetzung mit den einflussreichen Arbeiten von Daniel Dennett und John Searle aus – also mit jenen beiden Denkern, die von der neurowissenschaftlichen Seite gerne als philosophische Gewährsmänner herangezogen werden. In Neurowissenschaft und Philosophie diskutieren die vier kongenialen »Streithähne« miteinander.
Despite the scholarship and political activism devoted to keeping the memory of the Paris Commune alive, there still remains much ignorance both in France and elsewhere, about the traumatic civil war of 1871; some 20,000 to 35,000 people were killed on the streets of Paris in just the final week of the conflict. Colette Wilson identifies a critical blind-spot in French studies and employs new critical approaches to neglected texts, marginalised aspects of the illustrated press, early photography and a selection of novels by Emile Zola. This book will be of interest to students and academics studying France in the nineteenth century from a number of different perspectives war and revolution studies, cultural studies, history and cultural memory, literature, art history, photography, the illustrated press, city studies and human geography. The book will appeal equally to all lovers of Paris who wish to know and understand more about the city's turbulent past. ;
»Abolitionismus« bezeichnet sowohl einen theoretischen Ansatz als auch eine politische und soziale Bewegung, die sich für die Überwindung staatlicher Gewaltinstitutionen wie Gefängnis und Polizei einsetzt. In der Tradition des Kampfes gegen die Versklavung Schwarzer Menschen betonen Abolitionist:innen die rassistische Geschichte staatlicher Gewaltapparate und ihre Komplizenschaft mit Formen kapitalistischer Ausbeutung und patriarchaler Unterdrückung. Dieser Band macht erstmals die wichtigsten Stimmen dieser internationalen Diskussion in deutscher Sprache zugänglich. Mit Texten u. a. von Angela Davis, Michel Foucault, Mumia Abu-Jamal, Ruth Wilson Gilmore, Amna Akbar, Joy James, Klaus Günther, Assa Traoré, Geoffroy de Lagasnerie, Mimi E. Kim, Sarah Lamble, Robyn Maynard und Alex Vitale.
