Wiener Slawistischer Almanach Band 85/2020 - - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

Das Themenfeld Körpergedächtnis hat im 21. Jahrhundert mit einem großen theoretischen Erbe des 20. Jahrhunderts und mit dessen historischer Last, dem posttraumatischen Nachlass der Totalitarismen und Verbrechen gegen die Menschlichkeit zu tun. Zu Ersterem hat sich seit den 1990er Jahren ein beachtlicher Forschungszweig entwickelt. Die Auseinandersetzung mit den Traumata der Totalitarismen in osteuropäischen Kulturen ist aber immer noch nicht in gebührendem Maße in die Forschungen einbezogen. Deren wissenschaftliche Aufarbeitung hat auch im heutigen Kontext eine wichtige politische Dimension. Die Beiträge dieses Bandes untersuchen die Beziehungen von Körper, Gedächtnis und Literatur mit Fokus auf die Geschichte der Sowjetunion und Osteuropas im 20. und 21. Jh.

The Soviet Union and the United States - - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

The Soviet Union and the United States were involved in a complicate interplay of ideological, political, social and cultural factors, which wavered between open rivalry and cautious cooperation. Their relationship was fluctuating. Antagonism was accompanied with developing convergence. The main issue of this anthology is to discuss the attractiveness of polarity. Differing from Europe as well as from other parts of the world, both powers were provided with their history to expand their frontiers in the 19 th century. Territorial expansion and the discovery of new ideas and ideologies laid the foundation for their geopolitical hegemony in the 20 th century. International authoritative scholars from the United States, Switzerland and Germany give fresh insights in a new understanding of 20 th -century geopolitics.

Henry David Thoreau's Aesthetics - Verena Kerting - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

The aim of the analysis is to show how Thoreau anticipated modern, 20 th century notions of world and art. Following a summary of Baumgarten’s, Leibniz’, Descartes’ and Kant’s aesthetic theories five basic aesthetic questions are formulated. A close reading of Walden and the Journal answers these questions in regard to Thoreau’s artistic approach. The close reading documents his life-long struggle for an adequate perception of the phenomena that «made his world». To Thoreau even the most trivial thing expressed its divine character through its specific beauty. The last two chapters of the analysis reveal the connections that exist between Thoreau’s aesthetics of the trivial and 20 th century aesthetics, between his notion of nature as expression and recent biosemiotic theory.

Die erste Schrift zur Vergleichenden Erziehungswissenschaft/The First Treatise in Comparative Education - - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

Für Komparatisten der Erziehung galt das 1817 publizierte Forschungsprogramm von Jullien bislang als der Beginn der Vergleichenden Erziehungswissenschaft. Aber die Abhandlung über den englisch-deutschen Bildungsvergleich von Hecht ist rund 20 Jahre älter und in einer sozialhistorischen Situation entstanden, als die alteuropäische Ordnung der Nationen und Staaten in die internationale Ordnung der Nationalstaaten überging. Das Buch bietet eine genaue Betrachtung des Textes von Friedrich August Hecht. Comparatists of education usually assume that the research program published by Jullien in 1817 is the beginning of comparative education. But the text by Hecht comparing English and German school education is about 20 years older. It originates in a socio-historical situation when the old European order of nations and states is transformed into the new international order of nation states. The present volume offers a close look at the treatise by Friedrich August Hecht.

Perspektiven Interkultureller Mediation - - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

Interkulturelle Mediation wird sowohl in den Sprach- und Kommunikationswissenschaften als auch in der Praxis interkultureller Bildung und Didaktik zu Beginn des 21.

Attraktionen und Irritationen - - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

Der Sammelband nimmt sich zum Ziel, Einblick in die Sichtweise von Leitfiguren aus dem Südosten des Kontinents zu «Europa» zu geben. Der Zeitbogen vom späten 18. bis zur ersten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts offenbart, dass die Idee bzw. das Konzept «Europa» je nach Zeitbedingungen und Lebensumständen beharrliche Bejahung ebenso wie Skepsis und strikte Ablehnung hervorrufen konnten. Die Beiträge lassen den Schluss zu, dass mentale Zugänge aus Umfeldern orthodoxer Traditionen anders profiliert sind als solche aus katholisch-protestantischen Traditionen. Schließlich wird auch ersichtlich, wieviel Zuwendung in der Forschung noch erforderlich ist, um der Komplexität dieser Themenstellung gerecht zu werden.

Außenpolitik Und Wirtschaftsinteresse - Ione Oliveira - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

Diese Studie behandelt eine außerordentlich interessante Epoche der Außenwirtschaftsbeziehungen Brasiliens im 20. Jahrhundert. An der Seite der Siegermächte aus dem Zweiten Weltkrieg hervorgegangen, versuchte das agrarische Entwicklungsland nach 1945 während des Ost-West-Gegensatzes den wirtschaftlichen Aufbau durch Industrialisierung und Erleichterung des Agrarexports zu forcieren und damit seinen außenpolitischen Spielraum auf der Weltbühne zu verbreitern. Die Bundesrepublik Deutschland schien dabei ein geeigneter Partner zu sein, den die Regierung in Rio für den notwendigen Kapital- und Technologie-Import zu gewinnen suchte. Angesichts der Priorität der Beziehungen zu den Vereinigten Staaten in der Außenpolitik der Bundesrepublik hatte diese Politik nur begrenzten Erfolg.

The Anatomy of National Revolution - Marcin Kula - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

The Bolivian revolution in 1952 aimed at modernizing the country: the revolutionaries nationalized the large tin mines, limited the power of the upper classes, proceeded to the agrarian reform, and tried to strengthen the role of the state in the economic life. Because the success of the revolution was limited, it is necessary to discuss the economic instruments, which a country may use to limit its backwardness. The second important point, which makes the 1952 revolution interesting is the alliance of the intellectuals and the workers, an alliance which can also be observed in the Polish «Solidarity» movement at the end of the 20 th century.

Alevism between Standardisation and Plurality - - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

Over the last decades of the 20 th century, Alevi identity, religion and culture have gained an increasingly public character in both Turkey and Western Europe. This book analyses the ongoing efforts of negotiating common cultural denominators and shared repertoires of texts, sources, practices, or musemes, which are to represent Alevism across its ethnic, social, political, and regional differences. Bringing together international contributions from a wide range of disciplines, such as Islamic and Religious Studies, Musicology, Anthropology, and Islamic Theology, this book focusses on the processes of negotiating an Alevi ‘Cultural Heritage’ between standardisation and plurality—processes in which Alevis and non-Alevis, politics and scholarship partake.

Manna – Bread from Heaven - Paweå‚ Rytel Andrianik - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

The author presents a new approach to the study of manna, which does not concentrate only on one particular representation of the bread from heaven (especially Ex 16). Additionally, he investigates the interconnections between Ps 78:23-25, Wis 16:20-13; 19:21 and Jn 6:22-59 and he explores the new ideas of each of these texts. He also strongly asserts that Hellenistic Judaism, represented by the Book of Wisdom, is not "a second-class Judaism". This fact is proved with the example of manna as the food of immortality, an idea not introduced by Christians in the Fourth Gospel, but already present in Wis 19:21.

The contributors discuss, in different ways and using various methodologies, the omnipresence of translation in «the age of the extremes».

The Remnants of Modernity - Przemyslaw Czaplinski - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

Polish culture after 1989 has been defined by conflicts surrounding the remnants of modernity, phenomena marginalised during communism. The book considers two such phenomena: the search for a common tradition and the disappearance of utopia. Throughout the 19 th and 20 th centuries, romanticism provided a common tradition. After 1989, its place was assumed by Sarmatism, an elite and xenophobic pre-modern cultural formation, into which contradictory values were introduced, creating an explosive mixture of emancipation and populism. The second remnant, the heritage of utopia, is addressed in works whose critical visions of change are not comprehensive projects, but rather rebellions. They begin with a questioning of authority, and lead to a posthuman definition of humanity and interspecies solidarity.
