    Muße im 18. Jahrhundert (2024)
    Mohr Siebeck | Mohr Siebeck GmbH & Co. KG
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-01-19
    Description: Dass Muße im 18. Jahrhundert ein facettenreiches Phänomen ist, zeigen die hier versammelten Beiträge aus den germanistischen, romanistischen und anglistischen Kultur- und Literaturwissenschaften. In einem Zeitalter, das geprägt ist von kulturellem und sozialem Wandel, bleibt Muße zwar auf ihren klassischen Ursprung bezogen, verändert sich aber doch und wird vom aristokratischen Privileg zu einem fixen Bestandteil des bürgerlichen Lebens. Die in diesem Band analysierten Beispiele von Muße reichen von erbaulicher Lektüre und spiritueller Praxis bis zum hedonistischen gesellschaftlichen Vergnügen. Muße wird als Gattungsmerkmal und in ihrer semantischen Ambiguität beleuchtet.

    Vita perfecta? (2024)
    Mohr Siebeck | Mohr Siebeck GmbH & Co. KG
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-08
    Description: Mittelalterliche und frühneuzeitliche Entwürfe einer vita religiosa sind auf den Fluchtpunkt christlicher Vollkommenheit ausgerichtet, doch bringt das gemeinsame Ziel der perfectio keineswegs einheitliche, sondern hochgradig divergierende Ansprüche an ein religiöses Leben mit sich. Insbesondere dort, wo das Streben nach perfectio die Erfüllung voneinander abweichender oder widersprüchlicher Erwartungen verlangt, treten religiöse Normenkonkurrenzen und -konflikte ebenso zu Tage wie Strategien zu ihrer Bewältigung. Orientiert an Unterscheidungen wie der von vita activa und vita contemplativa deckt der vorliegende Band spannungsvolle Konstellationen divergierender Ansprüche an ein religiöses Leben in der Vormoderne auf. Neben Beiträgen aus Geschichtswissenschaft und Theologie setzt er einen literaturwissenschaftlichen Schwerpunkt und berücksichtigt ein breites Spektrum diskursiver und erzählender Textsorten.

    Person und Form (2024)
    Mohr Siebeck | Mohr Siebeck GmbH & Co. KG
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: Was ist Persönlichkeit? Und wie kann sie wissenschaftlich erschlossen und diagnostiziert werden? Vor allem in der ersten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts entfaltete die kulturell voraussetzungsreiche Idee der Persönlichkeit innerhalb der psychologischen Wissenschaften große produktive Kraft. David Keller stellt eine Vielfalt von Medien und Techniken in den Mittelpunkt seiner systematischen Untersuchung, die mobilisiert wurden, um 'Persönlichkeit' anhand experimenteller Suchprozesse als ein stabiles Konzept der Humanwissenschaften zu legitimieren. Dabei verdeutlicht seine Rekonstruktion einschlägiger Forschungs- und Diagnosepraktiken sowie die Betrachtung popularisierender Diskurse, wie die Suche nach der Persönlichkeit nicht allein eine wissensstiftende Funktion besaß, sondern zuletzt immer neue Fragen aufwarf. Auf diese Weise wurde sie zu einer fortgesetzten Herausforderung für die Wissenschaften vom Menschen.

    Die göttliche Weisheit des Hermes Trismegistos (2023)
    Mohr Siebeck | Mohr Siebeck GmbH & Co. KG
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-01-18
    Description: Als aus dem Griechischen übersetzter Lehrdialog ist der lateinische Asclepius ein wichtiger Textzeuge des Hermetismus, einer geistigen Bewegung, die aus der Begegnung von Griechen und Ägyptern erwuchs und im 1. bis 4. Jahrhundert n. Chr. blühte. Ihr namengebender Lehrer ist Hermes Trismegistos. Im Asclepius belehrt er seinen Schüler Asclepius über die Natur Gottes und seiner Schöpfung und über die Stellung des Menschen in der Welt. Eingebunden ist ein apokalyptischer Passus, der den Untergang Ägyptens voraussagt. Der vorliegende Band enthält den lateinischen Text, eine Übersetzung mit Kommentar und sechs Aufsätze, die den Asclepius und den Hermetismus im Blick auf die ägyptisch-griechische Misch-Kultur ihrer Entstehungszeit, die platonische Philosophie, die Tradition apokalyptischer Literatur und die Nachwirkung in Mittelalter und Renaissance untersuchen. Text und Übersetzung einer fragmentarisch überlieferten koptischen Parallelversion sind beigefügt.

    Description: Der vorliegende Band bietet eine vollständige neue Übersetzung und Kommentierung der Politischen Ratschläge ( Praecepta gerendae rei publicae) Plutarchs von Chaironeia (Provinz Achaea), die sich als ein Sendschreiben an einen jungen Hellenen aus Sardeis (Provinz Asia) vorstellen, der in die Stadtpolitik seiner Heimat unter den Bedingungen der römischen Oberhoheit eintreten will. Die interpretierenden Essays erläutern, vor allem anhand relevanter Inschriften-Zeugnisse, die politischen Rahmenbedingungen in Achaea und Asia und würdigen den spezifisch literarischen Charakter der Denkschrift.

    Der lateinische Begriff "otium" (2023)
    Mohr Siebeck | Mohr Siebeck GmbH & Co. KG
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: O tium ist einer der schillerndsten Begriffe der lateinischen Sprache. Sein Bedeutungsspektrum umfasst zahlreiche ambivalente Komponenten, die es erschweren, seine Bedeutung zu fassen. Häufig wird otium im Deutschen mit "Muße" übersetzt, doch gleichbedeutend sind die beiden Begriffe keineswegs. Hiervon ausgehend werden als Ergebnisse einer semantischen Studie die grundlegenden Bedeutungskomponenten von otium herausgearbeitet und sein Bedeutungsspektrum strukturiert beschrieben. Dabei nimmt Franziska C. Eickhoff das gesamte semantische Feld von otium in den Blick und arbeitet die Bedeutungskomponenten heraus, die allen Verwendungsmöglichkeiten als Kernbedeutungen gemeinsam sind. So skizziert sie mit Ansätzen der kognitiven Semantik das mentale Konzept von otium und vergleicht es mit dem Konzept von Muße.

    Der apokryphe Briefwechsel zwischen Seneca und Paulus (2023)
    Mohr Siebeck | Mohr Siebeck GmbH & Co. KG
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-05
    Description: In der zweiten Hälfte des 4. Jahrhunderts erfand ein unbekannter Autor einen Briefwechsel zwischen Seneca und Paulus. Die vierzehn kurzen Briefe, acht vom Philosophen, sechs vom Apostel, sind in sehr schlechtem spätantikem Latein geschrieben und weitgehend inhaltslos. Ihr Ziel ist es, mittels eines Austauschs von freundschaftlichen Billetts, wie er unter den Intellektuellen der Spätantike üblich war, Seneca zum Freund des Paulus zu machen und so das hohe Ansehen Senecas in der spätantiken lateinischen Theologie apostolisch zu sanktionieren. Diese Fiktion war sehr erfolgreich und regte im Laufe der Geschichte immer wieder zu Spekulationen über das Verhältnis zwischen Stoa und Christentum an. Dieser Band bietet eine neue Übersetzung des Briefwechsels auf der Basis der neuesten kritischen Edition, versehen mit einer Einleitung, Erläuterungen und Testimonien. Ferner werden zwei wenig bekannte Texte aus dem Umfeld des Briefwechsels abgedruckt, erstmals übersetzt und erläutert: ein angeblicher Brief des Mordechai an Alexander den Großen aus einer Fassung des Alexanderromans und ein Brief Senecas über Hochmut und Götterbilder, eine christliche Apologie aus dem 5. Jahrhundert. Die Essays behandeln zentrale Probleme des Verhältnisses zwischen Stoa und Christentum (Gottesbild und Ethik) sowie die Seneca-Rezeption vom Mittelalter bis in die frühe Neuzeit.

    Mußeräume der Antike und der frühen Neuzeit (2023)
    Mohr Siebeck | Mohr Siebeck GmbH & Co. KG
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Bestimmte Räume tragen durch ihre Eigenschaften dazu bei, dass in ihnen Muße leicht erfahrbar wird. Dazu zählen z.B. Bibliotheken, Museen und Gärten. Auch die Antike und frühe Neuzeit kennen Räume, die so "funktionieren". Zudem geben literarische Quellen Aufschluss darüber, wie sie als Mußeräume erfahren wurden. Die Autoren dieses Bandes widmen sich ausgewählten Räumen der Antike und frühen Neuzeit und gehen der Frage nach, ob und warum wir von ihnen als Mußeräumen sprechen können. Dabei nehmen sie architektonische und funktionale Eigenschaften dieser Räume in den Blick, die diese als Mußeräume prädestinieren könnten, und arbeiten in literarischen Darstellungen die sprachlichen Mittel heraus, mit denen die Inszenierung als Mußeräume gelingt. An Werke der neulateinischen Literatur wird zudem die Frage gerichtet, wie die Antike selbst einen Mußeraum eröffnet, wenn sie in späteren Texten rezipiert wird. Im Fokus stehen das griechische Theater, die Bibliothek, die römische Villa, der locus amoenus, der Garten und die Landschaft.

    The Medieval Luther (2023)
    Mohr Siebeck | Mohr Siebeck GmbH & Co. KG
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-08
    Description: Staging a conversation among distinguished Luther scholars, historians of Christianity, and philosophers, The Medieval Luther makes the case that it is impossible to understand Luther's most important doctrines without exploring his philosophical inheritance. After all, Luther was an ardent participant in and contributor to the philosophical disputes of the late Middle Ages. By situating Luther's theology in relation to medieval healing practices, mysticism, biblical interpretation, and politics, this volume blurs the historiographical line between the medieval and early modern periods. Offering an expansive appreciation of the Middle Ages for his thought, The Medieval Luther is indispensable for any future study of the Reformation's leading figure.

    The Qur'ān's Legal Culture (2023)
    Mohr Siebeck | Mohr Siebeck GmbH & Co. KG
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-08
    Description: The Qur'ān, emphasizing ritual purity and the role of Jesus as giver of God's positive law, preserves aspects of an earlier Jesus movement that most Christian groups diluted or rejected. The Didascalia Apostolorum, a late ancient church order, records a significant number of the laws promulgated in the Qur'ān, but does not fully endorse them when it comes to purity. Likewise, the Didascalia' legal narratives about the Israelites and about Jesus, as well as the legal and theological vocabulary of the Syriac (Eastern Christian Aramaic) version of the Didascalia, recurrently show kinship with the Arabic Qur'ān, amplifying the apparent affinities between the two texts. The Qur'ān, however, is not "based" on the Didascalia in any direct way; detailed comparison of the two documents illustrates the absence of textual influence in either direction. Both texts should rather be read against the background of the practices and the oral discourse shared by their respective audiences: a common legal culture. In this volume, Holger M. Zellentin offers new insights into Late Antique Judaism and Christianity, into the continuity of Judaeo-Christian law and narrative within Jewish and Christian mainstream communities past the fourth century, and into the community that the Qur'ān first addressed. Understanding how the Qur'ān parts ways with contemporaneous forms of Christianity and Judaism, both in the initial and in subsequent phases of the internal development of its legal culture, allows for a more precise appreciation of its message.

    Produktive Unproduktivität (2023)
    Mohr Siebeck | Mohr Siebeck GmbH & Co. KG
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-07
    Description: Muße wird gemeinhin als selbstbestimmte Zeit charakterisiert, die sich durch die Freiheit von Zwängen auszeichnet - Arbeit gilt dann schnell als ihr Gegenteil. Bei genauerer Analyse hingegen sind die Grenzen zwischen Muße und Arbeit keineswegs so scharf zu ziehen und ihre Beziehung zueinander stellt sich als deutlich komplexer heraus. Welche Spielräume bietet Arbeit für Muße? Inwiefern kann Muße Arbeit und Arbeit Muße sein? Die interdisziplinären Beiträge dieses Bandes liefern ein historisch, empirisch-ethnografisch und systematisch fundiertes Bild der jeweiligen gesellschaftlichen Bedeutung und der konkreten Ausprägungen produktiver Unproduktivität. Indem sie das Verhältnis von Muße und Arbeit differenziert bestimmen, tragen sie auch zur schärferen Analyse beider Konzepte bei.

    Das Bad als Mußeraum (2023)
    Mohr Siebeck | Mohr Siebeck GmbH & Co. KG

    Publication Date: 2024-04-03
    Description: Badekultur und Muße stehen seit jeher in einem spannungsvollen Zusammenhang, weil sowohl die Praktiken des Badens als auch die gesellschaftliche Bewertung von Muße erheblichen Schwankungen unterworfen waren. Die Vorstellungen darüber, ob, wann, wie, in welcher Art und mit welchem Nutzen zu baden sei, wandelten sich ständig und fanden Niederschlag in mannigfaltigen kulturellen Zeugnissen, welche in den hier versammelten Beiträgen aus Kunstgeschichte, Archäologie, Mediävistik, Musikwissenschaft und Literaturwissenschaft untersucht werden. Die Beiträge des vorliegenden Bandes geben einen Überblick über Badekultur, Badeanlagen und Badepraktiken von der Antike bis zur Moderne und wollen darüber hinaus zur weitergehenden Erforschung dieses bislang eher stiefmütterlich behandelten Themenkomplexes anregen. Behandelt werden mit den Badeanlagen im antiken Baiae oder mit Zumthors Therme in Vals der räumlich-architektonische Rahmen des Badens. Die Auswertung literarischer und medizinischer Schriften rückt moralische und gesundheitliche Fragen in den Blick. Außerdem werden größere badekulturelle Zusammenhänge in der Antike, in der höfischen Kultur des Hoch- und Spätmittelalters sowie in den Kurorten des 19. Jahrhunderts verdeutlicht.

    Semantiken der Muße aus interdisziplinären Perspektiven (2023)
    Mohr Siebeck | Mohr Siebeck GmbH & Co. KG
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Das deutsche Wort Muße ist nicht ohne weiteres übersetzbar. Umso schwieriger gestaltet sich die Erforschung der Muße in anderen kulturellen Kontexten. Der Sammelband illustriert die semantischen Probleme des Mußebegriffs innerhalb der gegebenen Wortfelder im Deutschen, Griechischen, Lateinischen, Englischen, Spanischen, Französischen und Tschechischen sowie in Bangla und Urdu. Die hier versammelten Aufsätze sind hauptsächlich von Literaturwissenschaftlern, aber auch von Vertretern der Psychologie, der Linguistik und der Theologie verfasst. Sie betten ihre Studien zur Muße in verschiedenen Kulturkreisen und Epochen in die Betrachtung des historischen und kulturellen Umfelds ein und fördern so das Beziehungsgeflecht zwischen Mußediskursen, Verunglimpfungen des Müßiggangs und der Verhandlung von sozialem Stand und ökonomischem Status zutage. Darüber hinaus erörtert ein Beitrag aus der Psychologie eine empirische Untersuchung, die Assoziationen von Mußebegriffen analysiert.

    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Als Goethe 1786 nach Italien aufbrach, begründete er gegenüber Herzog Carl August seine Reise mit Vorstellungen einer gelehrten Muße, die seit der Antike Freiräume für geistige Tätigkeiten legitimierten. Peter Philipp Riedl untersucht innerhalb dieses Rahmens einer temporären Freiheit von beruflichen Verpflichtungen konkrete Ausprägungen urbaner Muße, die in der Italienischen Reise insbesondere aus Verona, Padua, Venedig, Rom, Neapel und Palermo geschildert werden. Übergänge von Aktivität und Passivität, von durchaus anstrengender, aber selbstbestimmter Arbeit und Genuss werden ebenso analysiert wie unterschiedliche Muster kontemplations- und erlebnisorientierter Muße. Ergänzt werden diese Überlegungen durch Interpretationen von Formen narrativer Muße in Das Römische Carneval, poetischen Inszenierungen der Raumzeitlichkeit von Muße in den Römischen Elegien sowie Evokationen lyrischen Flanierens in den Venezianischen Epigrammen.

    Muße und Poetik in der römischen Briefliteratur (2023)
    Mohr Siebeck | Mohr Siebeck GmbH & Co. KG
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: In kaum einer anderen Gattung der lateinischen Literatur ist das Thema "Muße" so prominent wie in der Briefliteratur. Neben zahlreichen Berichten über alltägliche Mußemomente spiegeln Briefe ihre Produktions- und Rezeptionsmomente wider, die als Mußemomente inszeniert werden und eine implizite Poetik des Briefes beinhalten. Der vorliegende Band nähert sich dem Zusammenhang von Muße, Brief und Poetik in den Briefkorpora von Cicero, Seneca und Plinius unter drei Gesichtspunkten: Welches autorenspezifische Konzept von Muße lässt sich aus den inhaltlichen Beschreibungen von Mußemomenten ableiten? Inwiefern wird das Lesen und Schreiben der Briefe als Mußetätigkeit inszeniert? Was "tun" Briefschreiber und -leser, wenn sie einen Brief schreiben oder lesen, was ist die Performativität und implizite Poetik des Briefes? Darüber hinaus bietet der Band eine handbuchgleiche Übersicht über die antike Briefpraxis und grundlegende theoretische Überlegungen zum literaturwissenschaftlichen Umgang mit der antiken Briefliteratur.

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-01-19
    Description: Philons Schrift De Migratione Abrahami ist ein allegorischer Kommentar zu Gen 12. Der Auszug Abrahams aus seiner chaldäischen Heimat wird von Philon allegorisch auf den Auszug der Seele aus der Sinnenwelt und ihre Rückkehr zu Gott gedeutet. Die vorliegende Ausgabe bietet neben einer ausführlichen Einführung in Leben und Denken des alexandrinischen Religionsphilosophen den Text mit Übersetzung und erläuternden Anmerkungen. Kommentierende Essays aus unterschiedlichen Fachperspektiven ordnen die Schrift in den Kontext des zeitgenössischen Judentums sowohl in Alexandria wie im palästinischen Mutterland ein, würdigen Philon als Vertreter des kaiserzeitlichen Platonismus und machen mit der Gotteserkenntnis und philosophisch gedeuteten Exilserfahrungen zwei zentrale Topoi der Schrift zum Thema. Vergleichende Untersuchungen zur Figur des Abraham im Neuen Testament und in Thomas Manns Joseph und seine Brüder runden den Band ab.

    Publication Date: 2024-04-08
    Description: Der zweite Band der Kleinen Schriften des Zürcher Neutestamentlers versammelt 22 Beiträge aus fast 20 Jahren, die sich historisch und philologisch dem theologischen Anspruch der Texte des Neuen Testaments widmen. Der Bogen reicht dabei von der impliziten Christologie und der apokalyptischen Eschatologie in der Verkündigung Jesu über die Modelle der Deutung seines Todes, den religiösen Hintergrund und den geistigen Weg des Paulus und Fragen seiner Rechtfertigungs- und Kreuzestheologie bis hin zum Heilsverständnis, der Ekklesiologie und Eschatologie des Neuen Testaments und zu Fragen der Konstruktion einer Theologie des Neuen Testaments. Leitende Überzeugung ist dabei, dass das Neue Testament historisch und theologisch zu lesen ist und dass seine Interpretation auch für Fragen der gegenwärtigen Glaubenspraxis fruchtbar zu machen ist.

    Publication Date: 2024-01-19
    Description: Muße und Moderne' stehen in einem spannungsreichen Verhältnis, das zeigen die hier versammelten Beiträge aus Philosophie, Kultur- und Literaturwissenschaft. Anhand von amerikanischen, englischen, deutschen und französischen Beispielen geben sie einen Überblick über philosophische, soziokulturelle und literarische Muße-Diskurse. Verstanden als Makro-Epoche, die um 1800 beginnt, sucht sich die Moderne auch bei der Muße von 'klassischen' Vorgaben abzusetzen. Die moderne Arbeitsgesellschaft mit ihren Aporien veranlasst dazu, alternative Lebensformen und soziale Ordnungen zu erwägen, was vielfach unter dem Stichwort 'Muße' geschieht. Die Beiträge dieses Bandes erkunden das kulturelle Wissen im Hinblick darauf, wie Muße unter den Bedingungen der Moderne zu denken ist.

    Muße in mystischer Literatur (2022)
    Mohr Siebeck | Mohr Siebeck GmbH & Co. KG
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: In seinen deutschsprachigen Predigten und Traktaten entwirft Meister Eckhart die Bewegung in Gelassenheit als einen radikal freien Lebensvollzug. Obwohl es nicht selbstverständlich ist, mit Blick auf diese Konzeption und auf mystische Literatur im Allgemeinen von 'Muße' zu sprechen, nutzt Anna Keiling das Konzept als Leitparadigma ihrer Analyse. Damit kann sie Darstellungen der Abgeschiedenheit, Gelassenheit, ledecheit und ruowe in ihrem spezifischen Zusammenhang untersuchen: Eckhart stellt traditionelle religiöse Lebensformen in Frage und propagiert anhand von Figuren wie Maria, Martha oder Elisabeth die Einheit geistig tätigen Lebens. Er eröffnet so die Möglichkeit eines freien Lebensvollzuges der Muße in jedem Kontext - ein radikaler Entwurf, der von Heinrich Seuse, Johannes Tauler oder dem Buch von geistiger Armut aufgenommen und diskutiert wird.

    Coolies of Capitalism (2022)
    De Gruyter | De Gruyter Oldenbourg
    Details
    Publication Date: 2022-11-22
    Description: Coolie labour was often proclaimed as a deliberate compromise straddling the regimes of the past (slave labour) and the future (free labour). In the late 1850s, the locals were replaced by labourers imported from outside the province who were designated "coolies". Qualifying this framework of transition and introduction, this study makes a case for the "production" of coolie labour in the history of the colonial-capitalist plantations in Assam.

    Muße im höfischen Roman (2022)

    Publication Date: 2024-03-28
    Description: Wie kann den Protagonisten des höfischen Romans um 1200 eine Vervollkommnung höfischen Lebens gelingen, die tätiges Streben nach êre mit der Wahrnehmung von Erfülltheit in idyllischen Freiräumen vereinbart? Rebekka Becker betrachtet dieses Spannungsverhältnis, indem sie Analogien zwischen literarischen Inszenierungen temporärer Ausbrüche aus der institutionellen Ordnung und einer modernen Phänomenologie der Muße aufzeigt. Dieser Blick ist nicht selbstverständlich, da Muße im höfischen Roman bislang vor allem als gesellige kurzwîle konzeptionalisiert wurde. Gerade in Abgrenzung zu Formen höfischer Vergnügungskultur zeichnet die Autorin eine Topographie von Muße nach, in der sich das spezifische Zusammenspiel von Muße, Minne und Naturraum offenbart. Ihre Studie schließt die Poetologie der Texte mit ein und ist damit auch für das Untersuchungsfeld von Muße und Lektüre relevant.

    Description: The anthology explores breath from the perspective of the arts and humanities, as well as experimental scientific and design practices. Focus is on the period from 1900 to the present day – an era during in which air has become a precarious medium, co-created and manipulated by humans. Against this backdrop, breath appears as an elusive yet vital substance that reveals connections between the physical, symbolic, technological and social realms.

    De Gruyter

    Publication Date: 2024-04-07
    Description: About 500 years ago, Martin Luther visited Rome. Reflections about his journey often inquire as to its having been a critical factor for the Reformation, a prejudicial perspective often leading to a negative view of the trip and the city. The volume seeks to free up the theme from this paradigm, and to impart a differentiated picture of the city of Rome, Luther`s Roman journey, and the recollected images associated with it.

    Description: The history of systems theory does not start with the rise of cybernetics in the post-war 20th century. It rather took off in the late 19th century's now largely forgotten organismic sociology. Authors like Talcott Parsons or Niklas Luhmann can't, however, be reduced solely to a single line of descent. Julian Bauer outlines the plural origins of systemic ideas by portraying their broad foundation in different strands of holist thinking and thus provincialises systems theory. His book charts the intellectual and visual culture of systems thinking between 1880 and 1980.

    Contemporary Jewish Reality in Germany and Its Reflection in Film (2021)
    De Gruyter

    Publication Date: 2022-05-02
    Description: The notion of "self" and "other" and its representation in artwork and literature is an important theme in current cultural sciences as well as in our everyday life in contemporary Western societies. Moreover, the concept of "self" and "other" and its imaginary dichotomy is gaining more and more political impact in a world of resurfacing ideology-ridden conflicts. The essays deal with Jewish reality in contemporary Germany and its reflection in movies from the special point of view of cultural sciences, political sciences, and religious studies. This anthology presents challengingly new insights into topics rarely covered, such as youth culture or humor, and finally discusses the images of Jewish life as realities still to be constructed.

    Jeremiah Smith, jr. and Hungary, 1924–1926: the United States, the League of Nations, and the Financial Reconstruction of Hungary (2021)
    De Gruyter
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-24
    Description: Zoltán Peterecz presents in this monograph the personality and work of Jeremiah Smith, Jr. (1870–1935), the League of Nations Commissioner-General for the 1924 loan to Hungary. He deals also in extenso with the economic and political problems associated with the financial reconstruction of Hungary – both on the domestic and international scene. In his multidimensional presentation, Zoltán Peterecz gives a vivid insight into the official and unofficial trends in the foreign policy of the United States after World War I. The author skilfully interweaves the diplomatic and economic history against the background of international events, and supports the narrative with an impressive body of diverse sources, which include archival materials, contemporary newspaper citations from a number of countries, and an extensive range of secondary sources. The final result is a valuable, well-executed and well-written work that will be welcomed not only by students of the interwar period, but also among non-specialist readers. Zoltán Peterecz was awarded his PhD by the Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest, Hungary, in 2010. He specialises in American foreign policy and American-Hungarian relations in the 20th century. He is an Assistant Professor at the Department of American Studies, Eszterházy Károly College, Eger, Hungary.

    Description: The multidisciplinary contributions to this collection of papers look at Rome as the cultural and Milan as the political capital in the 4th and 5th centuries. In the literature of the time both cities were perceived as spaces in which the political and clerical power struggles, and the political and cultural changes which were so important for the Latin West took place. The cities are thereby understood as "stages" upon which the world theatre of the politics of power, culture and the church was produced. The reconstruction of both "stage settings" is based on texts, inscriptions and archaeological remains.; Therese Fuhrer, Freie Universität Berlin.

    Race and Gender in Modern Western Warfare (2021)
    De Gruyter | De Gruyter
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: This book fills a gap in the historiographical and theoretical fields of race, gender, and war. In brief, Race and Gender in Modern Western Warfare (RGMWW) offers an introduction into how cultural constructions of identity are transformed by war and how they in turn influence the nature of military institutions and conflicts. Focusing on the modern West, this project begins by introducing the contours of race and gender theories as they have evolved and how they are employed by historians, anthropologists, sociologists, and other scholars. The project then mixes chronological narrative with analysis and historiography as it takes the reader through a series of case studies, ranging from the early nineteenth century to the Global War of Terror. The purpose throughout is not merely to create a list of so-called "great moments" in race and gender, but to create a meta-landscape in which readers can learn to identify for themselves the disjunctures, flaws, and critical synergies in the traditional memory and history of a largely monochrome and male-exclusive military experience. The final chapter considers the current challenges that Western societies, particularly the United States, face in imposing social diversity and tolerance on statist military structures in a climates of sometimes vitriolic public debate. RGMWW represents our effort to blend race, gender, and military war, to problematize these intersections, and then provide some answers to those problems.

    The World Jewish Congress During The Holocaust (2021)
    De Gruyter
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-29
    Description: Drawing on hitherto neglected archival materials, Zohar Segev sheds new light on the policy of the World Jewish Congress (WJC) during the Holocaust. Contrary to popular belief, he can show that there was an impressive system of previously unknown rescue efforts. Even more so, there is evidence for an alternative pattern for modern Jewish existence in the thinking and policy of the World Jewish Congress. WJC leaders supported the establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine but did not see it as an end in itself. They strove to establish a Jewish state and to rehabilitate Diaspora Jewish life, two goals they saw as mutually complementary. The efforts of the WJC are put into the context of the serious difficulties facing the American Jewish community and its representative institutions during and after the war, as they tried to act as an ethnic minority within American society.

    Crossroads of Colonial Cultures (2021)
    De Gruyter
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: The study examines cultural effects of various colonial systems of government in the Spanish- and French-speaking Caribbean in a little investigated period of transition: from the French Revolution to the abolition of slavery in Cuba (1789–1886). The comparison of cultural transfer processes by means of literary production from and about the Caribbean, embedded in a broader context of the circulation of culture and knowledge deciphers the different transculturations of European discourses in the colonies as well as the repercussions of these transculturations on the motherland’s ideas of the colonial other: The loss of a culturally binding centre in the case of the Spanish colonies – in contrast to France’s strong presence and binding force – is accompanied by a multirelationality which increasingly shapes hispanophone Caribbean literature and promotes the pursuit for political independence. The book provides necessary revision to the idea that the 19th-century Caribbean can only be understood as an outpost of the European metropolises. Examining the kaleidoscope of the colonial Caribbean opens new insights into the early processes of cultural globalisation and questions our established concept of a genuine western modernity.

    Performing Interpersonal Violence (2021)
    De Gruyter | De Gruyter
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: This book offers the first attempt at understanding interpersonal violence in ancient Athens. While the archaic desire for revenge persisted into the classical period, it was channeled by the civil discourse of the democracy. Forensic speeches, curse tablets, and comedy display a remarkable openness regarding the definition of violence. But in daily life, Athenians had to draw the line between acceptable and unacceptable behavior. They did so by enacting a discourse on violence in the performance of these genres, during which complex negotiations about the legitimacy of violence took place. Since discourse and reality were intertwined and the discourse was ritualized, actual violence might also have been partly ritualized. By still respecting the on-going desire to harm one's enemy, this partial ritualization of violence helped restrain violence and thus contributed to Athens' relative stability.

    Women Writing War (2021)
    De Gruyter | De Gruyter
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: Recent scholarship has broadened definitions of war and shifted from the narrow focus on battles and power struggles to include narratives of the homefront and private sphere. To expand scholarship on textual representations of war means to shed light on the multiple theaters of war, and on the many voices who contributed to, were affected by, and/or critiqued German war efforts. Engaged women writers and artists commented on their nations' imperial and colonial ambitions and the events of the tumultuous beginning of the twentieth century. In an interdisciplinary investigation, this volume explores select female-authored, German-language texts focusing on German colonial wars and World War I and the discourses that promoted or critiqued their premises. They examine how colonial conflicts contributed to a persistent atmosphere of Kriegsbegeisterung (war enthusiasm) that eventually culminated in the outbreak of World War I, or a Kriegskritik (criticism of war) that resisted it. The span from German colonialism to World War I brings these explosive periods into relief and challenges readers to think about the intersection of nationalism, violence and gender and about the historical continuities and disruptions that shape such events.

    Communism's Jewish Question (2021)
    De Gruyter | De Gruyter
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: In the last two decades a large amount of previously secret documents on Jewish issues emerged from the newly opened Communist archives. The selection of these papers published in the volume and stemming mostly from Hungarian archives will shed light on a period of Jewish history that is largely ignored because much of the current scholarship treats the Shoah as the end of Jewish history in the region. The documents introduced and commented by the editor of the volume, András Kovács, will give insight into the conditions and constraints under which the Jewish communities, first of all, the largest Jewish community of the region, the Hungarian one had to survive in the time of the post-Stalinist Communist dictatorship. They may shed light on the ways how “Jewish policy” of the Soviet bloc countries was coordinated and orchestrated from Moscow and by the single countries. The archival material will prove that the ruling communist parties were restlessly preoccupied with the “Jewish question.” This preoccupation, which kept the whole issue alive in the decades of communist rule, explains to a great extent its open reemergence in the time of transition and in the post-communist period.

    Babylon. Wissenskultur in Orient und Okzident (2021)

    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: In this collection of interdisciplinary papers, for the first time well-known scholars of Ancient Near Eastern Studies discuss Babylon from the point of view of the ""culture of knowledge"". The volume is the result of a conference that took place on the occasion of the exhibition Babylon ? Truth and Myth in Berlin. For the contemporary cultures of the Ancient World, Babylon was the epitome of learned scholarship. Yet in the processes of transformation of Late and post-Antiquity, to the same extent to which this culture of knowledge was forgotten after the collapse of the old oriental empires, Babylon became symbolic for the occult, for magic and esoteric knowledge. As the first joint pilot project by Topoi and the publisher De Gruyter for the simultaneous publication in print and open access, this volume will, on publication, also be available via www.reference-global.de as an eBook ""open access"".; Eva Cancik-Kirschbaum, Freie Universit

    Christianity, Book-Burning and Censorship in Late Antiquity (2021)
    De Gruyter | De Gruyter
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-01-09
    Description: It is estimated that only a small fraction, less than 1 per cent, of ancient literature has survived to the present day. The role of Christian authorities in the active suppression and destruction of books in Late Antiquity has received surprisingly little sustained consideration by academics. In an approach that presents evidence for the role played by Christian institutions, writers and saints, this book analyses a broad range of literary and legal sources, some of which have hitherto been little studied. Paying special attention to the problem of which genres and book types were likely to be targeted, the author argues that in addition to heretical, magical, astrological and anti-Christian books, other less obviously subversive categories of literature were also vulnerable to destruction, censorship or suppression through prohibition of the copying of manuscripts. These include texts from materialistic philosophical traditions, texts which were to become the basis for modern philosophy and science. This book examines how Christian authorities, theologians and ideologues suppressed ancient texts and associated ideas at a time of fundamental transformation in the late classical world.

This book shines a light on the crises of the European integration, such as the failure of the European Defence Community, De Gaulle`s empty chair policy, or the rejection of the European Constitution in France and the Netherlands, but also highlights the indubitable successes that are the Franco-German reconciliation, the establishment of the European common market, and the establishment of an expanding common currency. What this study accomplishes, for the first time, is to illuminate the driving forces behind the European integration process and how it changed European politics and society.An enlightening work.

    Description: 60 years after the trials of the main German war criminals, the articles in this book attempt to assess the Nuremberg Trials from a historical and legal point of view, and to illustrate connections, contradictions and consequences. In view of constantly reoccurring reports of mass crimes from all over the world, we have only reached the halfway point in the quest for an effective system of international criminal justice. With the legacy of Nuremberg in mind, this volume is a contribution to the search for answers to questions of how the law can be applied effectively and those committing crimes against humanity be brought to justice for their actions.

    Description: The traces of the Cold War are still visible in many places all around the world. It is the topic of exhibits and new museums, of memorial days and historic sites, of documentaries and movies, of arts and culture. There are historical and political controversies, both nationally and internationally, about how the history of the Cold War should be told and taught, how it should be represented and remembered. While much has been written about the political history of the Cold War, the analysis of its memory and representation is just beginning. Bringing together a wide range of scholars, this volume describes and analyzes the cultural history and representation of the Cold War from an international perspective. That innovative approach focuses on master narratives of the Cold War, places of memory, public and private memorialization, popular culture, and schoolbooks. Due to its unique status as a center of Cold War confrontation and competition, Cold War memory in Berlin receives a special emphasis.

    Description: Despite established social, political and cultural differences, and despite the tricky mountainous setting, over 50 early modern era alpine valley communities managed to cooperate reliably with one another without either central instance or state. Notwithstanding these adverse conditions – such as steep mountains, remote valleys and settlements strewn far apart – they were able to successfully organise their common social and political interests. They even developed a dynamic unity and order completely without superior central power. This at first seemingly paradoxical finding is taken by Sandro Liniger as an opportunity to analyse just how such a dispersed society functions: Which specific logic characterises such an alternative form of organising common social and political life? Which instabilities and resistances are peculiar to it? And which conflicts characterise it?

    Calvin – Saint or Sinner? (2021)
    Mohr Siebeck | Mohr Siebeck
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-08
    Description: The Calvin year 2009 began on October 31, 2008 with a conference organized by the Institute for Reformation Research (Apeldoorn) on the topic »Calvin: Saint or Sinner?« A number of scholars dealt with the question of whether and how Calvin brought a renewal to theology, the church and society. This volume contains the papers held at this conference, which demonstrate the detailed and growing research on the reformer of Geneva. Since the contributions reflect the latest research in Calvin studies, the conclusions reached in many of the papers are surprising. Calvin was not a reformer in all respects in the original sense, as some would have wanted him to be. However on other subjects he definitely distanced himself from tradition and from his fellow reformers. All in all, this volume gives an overview of the many facets of John Calvin and his theology.

    Settlement and History in Hellenistic, Roman, and Byzantine Galilee (2021)
    Mohr Siebeck | Mohr Siebeck
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-08
    Description: Uzi Leibner aims to provide the most accurate picture possible of the nature and history of the rural settlement in the Lower Galilee during Hellenistic, Roman and Byzantine periods when this region played an important role in the development of both Judaism and Christianity. In an attempt to draw a historical reconstruction based on systematic data, a test case area in the »heart« of ancient Galilee was chosen for this research. Uzi Leibner used two distinct disciplines: the study of the relevant historical sources and the advanced archaeological field survey. Greek, Latin, Hebrew and Aramaic sources concerning settlements in the region were translated and discussed. Some fifty archaeological sites from the periods under discussion were identified and surveyed. The analysis of the finds enabled the author to draw a detailed portrait of settlement – including periods of construction, abandonment, prosperity and decline in each site and in the region as a whole. This book sheds new light on major historical issues such as the origins of the Galilean Jewry in the Second Temple Period, the First Jewish Revolt and its outcomes, the Jews of Galilee under Christian regime, demography, economy, continuity and decline.

    1919 – The Year That Changed China (2021)
    De Gruyter | De Gruyter
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: The year 1919 changed Chinese culture radically, but in a way that completely took contemporaries by surprise. At the beginning of the year, even well-informed intellectuals did not anticipate that, for instance, baihua (aprecursor of the modern Chinese language), communism, Hu Shi and Chen Duxiu would become important and famous – all of which was very obvious to them at the end of the year. Elisabeth Forster traces the precise mechanisms behind this transformation on the basis of a rich variety of sources, including newspapers, personal letters, student essays, advertisements, textbooks and diaries. She proposes a new model for cultural change, which puts intellectual marketing at its core. This book retells the story of the New Culture Movement in light of the diversifi ed and decentered picture of Republican China developed in recent scholarship. It is a lively and ironic narrative about cultural change through academic infi ghting, rumors and conspiracy theories, newspaper stories and intellectuals (hell-)bent on selling agendas through powerful buzzwords.

    Dem Göttlichen ganz nah (2021)
    Mohr Siebeck | Mohr Siebeck
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-02-01
    Description: What is »leisure«? What is »theory«? And how are the two connected? Andreas Kirchner explains that according to Aristotle's basic definitions of the concepts of »theoría« and »scholê«, both undergo characteristic developments in the course of history, and that the philosophy and theology of late antiquity significantly contributed to this. Plotinus' Neoplatonism thus decisively extends both concepts in their essential respects, and the emerging Christian theology, which the author examines by taking Marius Victorinus, Ambrose and, above all, Augustine as examples, then builds up its definition of »leisure« and »theory«. While based on philosophical foundations on the one hand, on the other it develops its own characteristic concepts following the personal concept of God and Christian assumptions. Andreas Kirchner shows how fundamentally the thought systems as well as the respective concept of God affect the conceptual design.
