    Description: By the early ninth century, the responsibility for a series of social, religious and political transformations had become an integral part of running the Carolingian empire. This became especially clear when, in 813/4, Louis the Pious and his court seized the momentum generated by their predecessors and broadened the scope of these reforms ever further. These reformers knew they represented a movement greater than the sum of its parts; the interdependence between those wielding imperial authority and those bearing responsibility for ecclesiastical reforms was driven by comprehensive, yet still surprisingly diverse expectations.Taking this diversity as a starting point, this book takes a fresh look at the optimistic first decades of the ninth century. Extrapolating from a series of detailed case studies rather than presenting a new grand narrative, it offers new interpretations of contemporary theories of personal improvement and institutional correctio, and shows the self-awareness of its main instigators as they pondered what it meant to be a good Christian in a good Christian empire.

    Description: Este libro reúne una serie de relatos que exploran con una mirada etnográfica los vínculos entre la cultura y el amor romántico. De entrada pareciera una empresa diáfana en sus pretensiones, esto si se da por cosa obvia o sobrentendida el recorrido que lleva, tanto del relato a la etnografía, como de la cultura al amor romántico. Ahora, aunque este conjunto de textos da cuenta de diferentes paisajes, lugares y escenas en el espacio y el tiempo, es obvio que ellos apenas son ejemplos, en exceso singulares, dentro del espectro inconmensurable de prácticas culturales que existen alrededor del amor romántico. Si bien para algunos el carácter excesivamente circunscrito de los textos puede inhabilitarlos para trascender a enunciados de más largo alcance sobre el amor romántico, para otros estos textos pueden ser una muestra de que investigar desde emplazamientos bien localizados permite construir unos principios sugerentes que, con juicio y con cuidado, sometidos a la debida vigilancia epistemológica, teórica y metodológica, confrontados desde la experiencia, se pueden proponer para órdenes de mayor alcance.

    Description: Can computer scientists contribute to the solution of societal problems? Can logic help to model social interactions? Are there recipes for making groups with diverging preferences arrive at reasonable decisions? Why is common knowledge important for social interaction? Does the rational pursuit of individual interests put the public interest in danger, and if so, why? Discourses on Social Software sheds light on these and similar questions. This book offers the reader an ideal introduction to the exciting new field of social software. It shows in detail the many ways in which the seemingly abstract sciences of logic and computer science can be put to use to analyse and solve contemporary social problems. The unusual format of a series of discussions among a logician, a computer scientist, a philosopher and some researchers from other disciplines encourages the reader to develop his own point of view. The only requirements for reading this book are a nodding familiarity with logic, a curious mind, and a taste for spicy debate. This title is available in the OAPEN Library - http://www.oapen.org.

    Description: The growing integration and participation of the Jewish population in politics, society, culture arts and religion shaped these spheres in Vienna during the time of the First Republic. Social dynamics of the young democracy, interplay of the different Jewish milieus, immigration from Eastern and Southeastern Europe as well as the growing cultural links with Berlin, Budapest, Paris and Prague made Austrian-Jewish culture in all areas of the development of the city of Vienna highly influential. Antidemocratic tendencies, especially antisemitism, influenced both the discourses on current events and inner-Jewish debates such as the role of Jewish religion, acculturation and Zionism. The publication "Wien und die jüdische Erfahrung 1900 - 1938. Akkulturation - Antisemitismus, Zionismus" initiated by Univ.-Prof. Frank Stern and Mag. Barbara Eichinger from the Institute for Contemporary History, University of Vienna, shows the state of the art of research on this subject. The publications focus placed on the current interdisciplinary inclusion of Austrian-Jewish cultural history. The volume of approx. 400 pages presents up-to-date research papers by the contributors as well as an academic discourse among the authors. In order to make this discourse possible, the editors organised a four day international conference in March 2007, where academics presented their research in themed panels and discussed them in an interdisciplinary framework with other experts. The contributions to this volume present this research takting into consideration the discussions among the colleagues at the conference. Those authors who did not participate in the conference and are partly working at American universities (a.o. Harriet Pass Freidenreich, Sander Gilman) provide an insight into current US American research on the subject. The contributions in German and English by 29 authors are organized into the following subject areas: "Society and politics between acculturation and tradition" (Steven Beller, Eleonore Lappin, Klaus Hödl, Albert Lichtblau), "Music between concert hall and film: Viennese composers of Jewish descent" (Peter Dusek, Karin Wagner), "Zionism in Vienna: between coffee house, cultural and political movement" (Dieter Hecht, Armin Eidherr, Hanno Loewy), "Cultural transfer between Vienna and Palestine/Israel" (Klaus Davidowicz, Sandra Goldstein), "Viennese Jewish milieus 1900 - 1938" (Evelyn Adunka, Peter Landesmann, Marcus G. Patka, Karin Stögner), "Women´s movements in Vienna"(Harriet Pass Freidenreich, Elisabeth Malleier, Michaela Raggam-Blesch), "Identity crises and antisemitism" (Gabriele Anderl, Elisabeth Brainin and Samy Teicher, Sander Gilman, Siegfried Mattl, Michael Laurence Miller), "Literature and theater in interwar Vienna" (Brigitte Dallinger, Werner Hanak, Birgit Peter), "The Road into the open on stage and screen (Wolfgang Müller-Funk, Murray G. Hall, Bettina Riedmann). The authors come from research centres in Belgium, Germany, Israel, the USA and Hungary as well as all current research centres on Jewish history in Austria (a.o. Institute for Jewish Studies, Vienna; Institute for History, Salzburg; Center for Jewish Cultural History, Salzburg; Institutte for the History of the Jews in Austria, St. Pölten; Center for Jewish Studies, Graz; Institute of Contemporary History, Vienna; University of Performing Arts, Vienna; Institut for German Studies, Vienna; Institut for Theater, Film and Media Studies, Vienna; Jewish Museum of the City of Vienna). The volume will be published in the anniversary year 2008 with a preface by the rector of the University of Vienna, Univ.-Prof. Dr. Georg Winckler.
    Description: Politik, Gesellschaft, Kultur, Kunst und Religion sind im Wien der Ersten Republik durch eine immense Zunahme der Integration und Partizipation der jüdischen Bevölkerung charakterisiert. Die innergesellschaftliche Dynamik der jungen Demokratie und die Wechselwirkung der verschiedenen jüdischen Milieus, die Zuwanderungen aus Ost- und Südosteuropa sowie die wachsende kulturelle Vernetzung mit Berlin, Budapest, Paris und Prag führten zu einflussreichen Ausprägungen der österreichisch-jüdischen Kultur in allen Bereichen der Entwicklung der Stadt Wien. Antidemokratische Tendenzen, insbesondere der Antisemitismus, beeinflussen sowohl die tagespolitische als auch die innerjüdischen Diskurse, etwa über die Rolle der jüdischen Religion, der Akkulturation und des Zionismus. Die Publikation "Wien und die jüdische Erfahrung 1900 - 1938. Akkulturation, Antisemitismus, Zionismus", initiiert von Univ.-Prof. Dr. Frank Stern und Mag. Barbara Eichinger am Institut für Zeitgeschichte, Universität Wien, zeigt den State-of-the-Art der Forschung zu diesem Thema. Wobei der Fokus auf der aktuellen interdisziplinären Einbeziehung österreichisch-jüdischer Kulturgeschichte liegt. Der ca. 400 Seiten umfassende Band präsentiert neben momentanen Forschungsarbeiten der Beitragenden einen gemeinsamen wissenschaftlichen Diskurs der AutorInnen untereinander. Um diesen zu ermöglichen, organisierten die HerausgeberInnen im März 2007 eine viertägige internationale Konferenz, auf der geladene WissenschafterInnen ihre Forschungsarbeiten in themenspezifischen Panels anderen ExpertInnen zur interdisziplinären Diskussion stellten. Die Präsentation ihrer fortgeschrittenen Forschungsarbeit unter Berücksichtigung der Diskussionen unter KollegInnen während der Konferenz in die Beiträge des vorliegenden Bandes integriert worden. Jene AutorInnen, die nicht an der Konferenz teilgenommen hatten und teilweise an amerikanischen Universitäten tätig sind (u.a. Harriet Pass-Freidenreich, Sander Gilman), zeigen mit ihren Essays ein Bild der gegenwärtigen US-amerikanischen Forschung zum Thema. Die in deutscher und englischer Sprache verfassten Beiträge der 30 AutorInnen finden sich in folgenden Themengebieten wieder: "Gesellschaft und Politik zwischen Akkulturation und Tradition" (Steven Beller, Eleonore Lappin, Klaus Hödl, Albert Lichtblau), "Musik zwischen Konzertsaal und Film: Wiener Komponisten jüdischer Herkunft (Peter Dusek, Karin Wagner), "Zionismus in Wien: Zwischen Kaffeehaus, kultureller und politischer Bewegung" (Dieter Hecht, Armin Eidherr, Hanno Loewy), "Kulturtransfer zwischen Wien und Palästina/Israel" (Klaus Davidowicz, Sandra Goldstein), "Wiener jüdische Milieus 1900 - 1938" (Evelyn Adunka, Peter Landesmann, Marcus G. Patka, Karin Stögner), "Frauenbewegungen in Wien" (Harriet Pass-Freidenreich, Elisabeth Malleier, Michaela Raggam-Blesch), "Identitätskrisen und Antisemitismus" (Gabriele Anderl, Elisabeth Brainin und Samy Teicher, Sander Gilman, Siegfried Mattl, Michael Laurence Miller), "Literatur und Theater im Wien der Zwischenkriegszeit" (Brigitte Dalinger, Werner Hanak, Birgit Peter), "Der Weg ins Freie auf Bühne und Leinwand" (Wolfgang Müller-Funk, Murray G. Hall, Bettina Riedmann). Mit den AutorInnen sind neben Forschungsstätten in Belgien, Deutschland, Israel den USA und Ungarn alle gegenwärtigen Forschungsstätten zur jüdischen Geschichte in Österreich (u.a. Institut für Judaistik Wien; Institut für Geschichte Salzburg; Zentrum für Jüdische Kulturgeschichte Salzburg; Institut für Geschichte der Juden in Österreich, St. Pölten; Zentrum für jüdische Studien, Graz; Institut für Zeitgeschichte Wien; Universität für darstellende Kunst Wien; Institut für Germanistik Wien; Institut für Theater-, Film- und Medienwissenschaft Wien; Jüdisches Museum der Stadt Wien) vertreten. Der Band soll mit einem Vorwort des Rektors der Universität Wien, Univ.-Prof. Dr. Georg Winckler, im Gedenkjahr 2008 erscheinen.

    Description: Spain has been a fruitful locus for the European imagination for centuries, and it has been most often perceived in black-and-white oppositions -- either as a tyrannical and fanatical force in the early modern period or as an imaginary geography of a ‘Romantic’ Spain in later centuries. However, the image of Spain, its culture and its inhabitants did not evolve inexorably from negative to positive. From the early modern period onwards, it responded to an ambiguous matrix of conflicting Hispanophobic and Hispanophilic representations. Just as in the nineteenth century latent negative stereotypes continued to resurface, even in the Romantic heyday, in the early modern period appreciation for Spain was equally undeniable. When Spain was a political and military superpower, it also enjoyed cultural hegemony with a literary Golden Age producing internationally hailed masterpieces. Literary Hispanophobia and Hispanophilia in Britain and the Low Countries (1550-1850) explores the protracted interest in Spain and its culture, and it exposes the co-existent ambiguity between scorn and fascination that characterizes Western historical perceptions, in particular in Britain and the Low Countries, two geographical spaces with a shared sense of historical connectedness and an overlapping, sometimes complicated, history with Spain.

    Description: This book explores the modern transformation of state and society in the Indian Himalaya. Centred on three Rajput-led kingdoms during the transition to British rule (c. 1790-1840) and their interconnected histories, it demonstrates how border making practices engendered a modern reading of 'tradition' that informs communal identities to date. By revising the history of these mountain kings on the basis of extensive archival, textual, and ethnographic research, it offers an alternative to popular and scholarly discourses that grew with the rise of colonial knowledge. This revision ultimately points to the important contribution of borderland spaces to the fabrication of group identities.

    Description: The title of the book pays tribute to two Dutch scientists without whom virology would arguably not exist today, at least not in its present guise. The first is Antony van Leeuwenhoek, whose reports of microscopic discoveries in the early eighteenth century aroused interest in the world of invisible creatures. His findings laid the basis for a theory of a particulate cause of infectious diseases, but, as George Rosen wrote, without any tangible results in support of the theory (1993/1958, pp. 84-85). Some 250 years later Martinus Willem Beijerinck launched the discipline of virology with his idea that tobacco mosaic disease (TMD) was caused by a living contagious fluid or filterable living pathogen.

    Description: To say that technology is male comes as no surprise, but the claim that its history is a short one strikes a new note. Making Technology Masculine: Men, Women, and Modern Machines in America, 1870-1945 maps the historical process through which men laid claims to technology as their exclusive terrain. It also explores how women contested this ascendancy of the male discourse and engineered alternative plots. From the moral gymnasium of the shop floor to the staging grounds of World's Fairs, engineers, inventors, social scientists, activists, and novelists emplotted and questioned technology as our modern male myth. Oldenziel recounts the history of technology - both as intellectual construct and material practice - by analyzing these struggles. Drawing on a broad range of sources, she explains why male machines rather than female fabrics have become the modern markers of technology. She shows how technology developed as a narrative production of modern manliness, allowing women little room for negotiation. This title is available in the OAPEN Library - http://www.oapen.org.

    Description: The ideology of purity-of-blood (limpieza de sangre) divided early modern Iberian society into two different classes: Old Christians and New Christians. New Christians, i.e. Conversos (converted Jews) and Moriscos (converted Muslims), but also their offspring, were thought to be inferior Christians and always tending towards apostasy. At the turn of the 17th century an increased interest in bodily markers to proof the presumed inferiority of the so-called New Christians can be observed. The book focusses on the question how the apologists of the purity-of-blood statutes used the idea of inherited bodily markers to promote a genealogical racism in early modern Iberia. German Version: https://e-book.fwf.ac.at/o:1377
    Description: Um Mechanismen der Ausgrenzung, Diskriminierung und Verfolgung zu durchschauen, ihnen vorzubeugen und sie beizeiten zu bekämpfen, müssen wir sie verstehen. Die Blutreinheitsideologie (span. limpieza de sangre) unterteilte die frühneuzeitliche iberische Gesellschaft in zwei Gruppen: Altchristen und Neuchristen. Julia Gebke analysiert in ihrer Arbeit anhand von drei durch die Blutreinheitsideologen propagierten körperlichen Markierungen im Schnittfeld von Theologie und Medizin die verstärkte Stigmatisierung des neuchristlichen Körpers. Neuchristliche Muttermilch, jüdisch-männliche Menstruation und neuchristlicher Körpergeruch wurden, speziell an der Schwelle vom 16. zum 17. Jahrhundert, von Befürwortern und Gegnern der Blutreinheitsideologie kontrovers diskutiert. Deutsche Version: https://e-book.fwf.ac.at/o:1377
