    Die Kosovopolitik Österreichs in den Jahren 1986-1999 (2022)
    Georg Olms Verlag | Georg Olms Verlag
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-05-13
    Description: Nach der Zuspitzung der Krise in Jugoslawien nach 1989 versuchte die österreichische Außenpolitik, einen Beitrag dazu zu leisten, die bewaffneten und ethnischen Konflikte zwischen den Völkern in Jugoslawien, insbesondere in Bezug auf die zunehmende Verschlechterung der politischen Lage im Kosovo, zu entschärfen und die internationale Staatengemeinschaft darauf aufmerksam zu machen. In dieser Hinsicht nahm Österreich im Vergleich zu vielen anderen europäischen Staaten eine Vorreiterrolle ein und unternahm zahlreiche Initiativen zur Internationalisierung der Kosovo-Frage. Die aktive Rolle Österreichs in der Kosovo-Frage manifestierte sich in einer Frühwarnfunktion.

    Changing Deserts (2022)
    The White Horse Press | The White Horse Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-14
    Description: Deserts – vast, empty places where time appears to stand still. The very word conjures images of endless seas of sand, blistering heat and a virtual absence of life. However, deserts encompass a large variety of landscapes and life beyond our stereotypes. As well as magnificent Saharan dunes under blazing sun, the desert concept encompasses the intensely cold winters of the Gobi, the snow-covered expanse of Antarctica and the rock-strewn drylands of Pakistan. Deserts are environments in perpetual flux and home to peoples as diverse as their surroundings, peoples who grapple with a broad spectrum of cultural, political and environmental issues as they wrest livelihoods from marginal lands. The cultures, environments and histories of deserts, while fundamentally entangled, are rarely studied as part of a network. To bring different disciplines together, the 1st Oxford Interdisciplinary Deserts Conference in March 2010 brought together a wide range of researchers from backgrounds as varied as physics, history, archaeology anthropology, geology and geography. This volume draws on the diversity of papers presented to give an overview of current research in deserts and drylands. Readers are invited to explore the wide range of desert environments and peoples and the ever-evolving challenges they face.

    Technology and the Dream (2022)
    The MIT Press | The MIT Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-14
    Description: Transcripts of more than seventy-five oral history interviews in which the interviewees assess their MIT experience and reflect on the role of blacks at MIT and beyond. This book grew out of the Blacks at MIT History Project, whose mission is to document the black presence at MIT. The main body of the text consists of transcripts of more than seventy-five oral history interviews, in which the interviewees assess their MIT experience and reflect on the role of blacks at MIT and beyond. Although most of the interviewees are present or former students, black faculty, administrators, and staff are also represented, as are nonblack faculty and administrators who have had an impact on blacks at MIT. The interviewees were selected with an eye to presenting the broadest range of issues and personalities, as well as a representative cross section by time period and category. Each interviewee was asked to discuss family background; education; role models and mentors; experiences of racism and race-related issues; choice of field and career; goals; adjustment to the MIT environment; best and worst MIT experiences; experience with MIT support services; relationships with MIT students, faculty, and staff; advice to present or potential MIT students; and advice to the MIT administration. A recurrent theme is that MIT's rigorous teaching instills the confidence to deal with just about any hurdle in professional life, and that an MIT degree opens many doors and supplies instant credibility. Each interview includes biographical notes and pictures. The book also includes a general introduction, a glossary, and appendixes describing the project's methodology.

    Anne Frank’s Tree (2022)
    The White Horse Press | The White Horse Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-11
    Description: "In this important and original interdisciplinary work, well-known environmental philosopher Eric Katz explores technology’s role in dominating, and thus destroying, both nature and human life and society. Katz’s argument innovatively connects two distinct areas: the fundamental goal of the Holocaust, including Nazi environmental policy, to heal the degenerate elements of society; and the plan to heal degraded natural systems that informs the contemporary environmental policy of ‘ecological restoration’. In both arenas of ‘healing’, Katz argues that technology drives action, while domination emerges as the prevailing ideology. Katz’s work is a plea for the development of a technology that does not dominate and destroy but instead promotes autonomy and freedom. Anne Frank, a victim of Nazi ideology and action, saw the titular tree behind her secret annex as a symbol of freedom and moral goodness. In Katz’s argument, the tree represents a free and autonomous nature. 'Anne Frank’s Tree' is rooted in an empirical approach to philosophy, seating complex ethical ideas in a powerful narrative of historical fact and deeply personal lived experience."

    Ökonomie und Moral im langen 20. Jahrhundert (2022)
    Wallstein Verlag | Wallstein Verlag
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-11
    Description: "Eine moralische Ideengeschichte der Ökonomie. Schließen sich Ökonomie und Moral aus? Obwohl viele diese Frage intuitiv bejahen würden, ist ökonomisches Handeln im Kern immer auch soziales Handeln, das nur im Kontext von moralischen Deutungen und Kontroversen zu verstehen ist. Wie wurden moralische Argumente also verwendet, um ökonomische Praktiken und Strukturen zu kritisieren oder auch zu legitimieren? Ausgangspunkt der 20 Essays bildet jeweils eine konkrete historische Quelle, die nicht zu den Klassikern der ökonomischen Theorie zählt – etwa Werbebroschüren und Alltagsgegenstände, Bilder, Filme und Ausstellungsobjekte."

    Sectarianism and Renewal in 1920s Romania (2022)
    Bloomsbury Academic | Bloomsbury Academic
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-08
    Description: The Romanian Orthodox Church expanded significantly after the First World War, yet Protestant Repenter and schismatic Orthodox movements such as Old Calendarism also grew exponentially during this period, terrifying church leaders who responded by sending missionary priests into the villages to combat sectarianism. Several lay renewal movements such as the Lord's Army and the Stork's Nest also appeared within the Orthodox Church, implicating large numbers of peasants and workers in tight-knit religious communities operating at the margins of Eastern Orthodoxy. Bringing the history of the Orthodox Church into dialogue with sectarianism, heresy, grassroots religious organization and nation-building, Roland Clark explores how competing religious groups in interwar Romania responded to and emerged out of similar catalysts, including rising literacy rates, new religious practices and a newly empowered laity inspired by universal male suffrage and a growing civil society who took control of community organizing. He also analyses how Orthodox leaders used nationalism to attack sectarians as 'un-Romanian', whilst these groups remained indifferent to the claims the nation made on their souls. Situated at the intersection of transnational history, religious history and the history of reading, Sectarianism and Renewal in 1920s Romania challenges us to rethink the one-sided narratives about modernity and religious conflict in interwar Eastern Europe.

    The Practice of Texts (2022)
    University of California Press | University of California Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-08
    Description: The Practice of Texts examines the uses of the Sanskrit medical classics in two educational institutions of India’s classical life science, Ayurveda: the college and the gurukula. In this interdisciplinary study, Anthony Cerulli probes late- and postcolonial reforms in ayurvedic education, the development of the ayurvedic college, and the impacts of the college curriculum on ways that ayurvedic physicians understand and use the Sanskrit classics in their professional work today. His fieldwork in south India illuminates the nature of philology and ritual in the ayurvedic gurukula and showcases how knowledge is exchanged among students, teachers, and patients. The result, Cerulli shows, is that the Sanskrit classics are presented and applied differently in the college and gurukula, producing a variety of relationships with these texts among practitioners. By interrogating the politics surrounding the place of the Sanskrit classics in ayurvedic curricula, this book reveals a spectrum of views about the history and tradition of Ayurveda in modern India.

    Das sexuelle Schutzalter (2022)
    Wallstein Verlag | Wallstein Verlag
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-07
    Description: "Die Geschichte des sexuellen Schutzalters: Sie zeigt die Vulnerabilität von Kindern in einer generationen- und geschlechterhierarchischen Gesellschaft. Wann endet das sexuelle Schutzalter? Bis zu welchem Alter sollen Kinder vor sexuellen Handlungen Erwachsener geschützt werden? Diese höchst umstrittenen Fragen avancierten in der zweiten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts mehrfach zum Politikum. Die Geschichte des sexuellen Schutzalters zeichnet Sonja Matter anhand österreichischer Strafprozesse wie auch nationaler und internationaler Gesetzesreformen und Kinderrechtsdebatten nach. Die sexuellen Rechte der Kinder standen meist nicht im Mittelpunkt, vielmehr dominierten die Interessen und Gesellschaftsvisionen der Erwachsenen. Nach der nationalsozialistischen Herrschaft galt der Kampf gegen sexuelle Gewalt an Kindern als Möglichkeit, eine »sittliche« Gesellschaft herzustellen. Im Zuge einer sexuellen Liberalisierung stand dagegen das Interesse im Zentrum, die Sexualität von Kindern zu »befreien«, um eine liberalere Gesellschaft zu verwirklichen. Erst die autonome Frauenbewegung der 1980er Jahre verknüpfte die Problematik der sexuellen Gewalt an Kindern dezidiert mit einer Herrschaftskritik. Die Auseinandersetzungen waren von der Frage begleitet, wann Kindheit endet und in welchem Verhältnis Gewalt und Begehren stehen."

    Firenze University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-07
    Description: Eleonora Ramirez de Montalvo is one of the most important historical figures of woman’s assistance and education during the seventeenth century. She is the founder of two lay congregations: the Minime Ancille of the Divine Incarnation (1647) and the Minime Ancille of the Holy Trinity (1650). This volume lists and describes in an analytical way the papers produced and preserved by the second of these, also known Montalve alla Quiete, which for over two centuries carried out an intense activity and exerted a considerable influence in Tuscany. The study of this archive provides a unique range of information both on the economic and political events, and on the relationships maintained by the Montalve with society growing its prestige and heritage. It also offers the opportunity to undertake countless historical research on facts that concern Florentine territory and the rest of Tuscany.

    The version that wanted to be written (2022)
    Erich Schmidt Verlag GmbH & Co
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: The unification of Germany in 1990 set in train a number of dramatic changes in Germany’s political, social and cultural landscape which gave rise to a series of hotly debated memory contests centred on the newly unified nation’s approach to its common Nazi past. As an important medium of cultural memory, literature played a significant part in the controversy and novels dealing with the Nazi past enjoyed widespread popularity and influence in the 20 years following 1990. But what ""version"" of the Nazi past did the authors of these novels choose to tell? Using the perpetrator/victim dichotomy around which much of the debate crystallised, this book seeks to answer this question via a close textual analysis of works by Bernhard Schlink, Ulla Hahn, Tanja Dückers, and Marcel Beyer. In particular, this book analyses these novels as historiographic metafiction, a significantly under-explored angle which raises important questions concerning our ability to know the “truth” about the past and destabilises the basis on which we judge guilt or innocence. In providing a deeper understanding of the approach of fiction authors to the Nazi past in the post-1990 period, this book aims to enrich our understanding of its legacy in contemporary German society today.
