Anthroposophy and Science - Peter Heusser - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

Glossae – Scholia – Commentarii - - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

The role of commentary as a basic method of research used broadly in both Classical Antiquity and the Middle Ages still awaits further analysis. Commentary as a research and didactic method becomes especially interesting in a multicultural perspective: were Buddhist and Arabic texts commented in the same way as it was done by late antique and medieval scholars? The extensive medieval commentary literature still awaits scholarly assessment from the perspective of theory of literature as well as methodology and history of various scientific disciplines.

The Socialist Opposition in Nehruvian India 1947–1964 - Boris Niclas Tolle - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

This book examines the political and developmental thought of the democratic socialist opposition party of India during the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s. It thereby contributes to a modern global history of political ideas and examines the role of Marxism, Gandhi and modernisation theory for the political development of India during the Cold War. The study focuses on the modernisation policies implemented by the Nehru government: Increasingly facing competing claims from Nehru to be pursuing socialist policies after the mid-1950s, the movement eventually broke apart and large numbers of socialists were assimilated by the Congress Party where they continued to shape Indian politics.

Consequences of Informal Autonomy - Alexander Libman - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

Consequences of Informal Autonomy - Alexander Libman - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

The book is the first to provide a systematic overview of the interplay of formal and informal institutions as elements of the Russian federalism from the early 1990s to the mid-2010s. It discusses the crucial role of informal power structures and practices in the relations between the center and the regions in Russia, which survived the centralization policy of the Putin government. Using econometric large-N analysis and a set of novel quantitative indicators, the book shows that persistence of informal autonomy in Russia has mostly harmful consequences for the political development of the regions, contributing to the consolidation and strengthening of sub-national autocracies.

Liminality and «Communitas» in the Beat Generation - Aaron Christopher Mitchell - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

Liminality and «Communitas» in the Beat Generation - Aaron Christopher Mitchell - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

The Beat Generation questioned mid-twentieth century America and sought the margins of society. This book analyzes the literature and lifestyles of the Beat authors Jack Kerouac, William S. Burroughs, and Allen Ginsberg in regard to Victor Turner’s anthropological studies. The Beats separated from society by willingly entering the rites of passage. Liminal symbolism is apparent in their literature such as in movement, time, space, pilgrimages, and monstrosities. In their liminal stage, they established «communitas» and developed anti-structure. They questioned society and made proposals to change it in their liminoid literature. The Beats shared similarities with previous countercultures, and they influenced the following Hippie Generation.

Dwight Macdonald on Culture - Tadeusz Lewandowski - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

Dwight Macdonald on Culture - Tadeusz Lewandowski - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

Dwight Macdonald was the most prominent excoriator of mass culture in the 1950s and ’60s. Since that time his reputation has not fared well. Derided as elitist and passé, his tracts now represent everything wrong-headed about mid-century cultural criticism. Nonetheless, Macdonald remains relevant and deserves reconsideration. His detractors, though uncovering many of Macdonald’s failings, have in part misunderstood him, while the field of cultural studies has misclassified his essays in the radical rather than conservative tradition of criticism. Dwight Macdonald on Culture seeks to amend previous misconceptions, offering new perspectives on a figure who grappled with issues of culture that remain ever-pertinent.

A Path to a Conception of Symbolic Truth - Malgorzata Czarnocka - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

A Path to a Conception of Symbolic Truth - Malgorzata Czarnocka - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

This book deals with correspondence truth, and offers an explanation of correspondence as a symbolization of reality. The author analyses those basic elements of known correspondence truth theories which are the cause of their inadequacy. She focuses on the theories which try to modify the strongest classical theories and shows that these theories are unable to free themselves from seeing correspondence as copying (mirroring). The book presents a «symbolic» correspondence truth theory claiming that correspondence is a specific kind of symbolisation in a Cassirer-close sense, and correspondence truth is neither a copy, nor any other imitation of reality, but its symbol.

The authors attempted to define cultural security and the approach to it from various, often very different, research perspectives.

The Musical Culture of Silesia before 1742 - - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

The Musical Culture of Silesia before 1742 - - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

The volume includes detailed studies concerning various aspects of the musical culture of Silesia from the fifteenth to mid-eighteenth centuries. The authors, who represent academic centres in Poland, Czech Republic, Germany, Slovakia, Holland, France and Great Britain, present new sources, as well as reinterpreting previously known facts and phenomena. What makes the approach here so original is that it takes into account the wider context of musical culture in Silesia, not limited to examining it exclusively in relation to the Polish, Czech or German cultures. Here we can see Silesia as one of the regions of Central Europe, and not merely as a western province of Poland, northern province of the Czech Kingdom, or eastern province of Prussia.

Architectonics of Theatricality - Ivaylo Alexandroff - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

Architectonics of Theatricality - Ivaylo Alexandroff - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

The cultural discourse of theatrical performance defines the theatre sign interaction as an active semiosis . This, in turn, specifies the main objective of the study – the formulation of the basic parameters of this architectonics as a fundament of théâtralité . Since the time of Antiquity the theatre has always been discussing general aesthetic, philosophical, ethical and social issues in the context of a visual image of the specific objects of an intellectual discourse. The book takes a close look at this process of signification, formation of meanings, presentation and interpretation on stage: a theatre performance is a product of an intense sign environment and a major symbol of theatricality.

The Austrian Manuscript Cookery Book in the Long Eighteenth Century - Helga Mullneritsch - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

Poetry in the Service of Politics - Anna Artwinska - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

Poetry in the Service of Politics - Anna Artwinska - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

This book analyzes the ideology-based reception of Adam Mickiewicz in Communist Poland and of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe in East Germany, the dynamics of that process and the strategies used to exploit the iconic status of the poets for the purpose of reaffirming the legitimacy of the new system. The basic question tackled here concerns the similarities and differences between the Polish and German styles of harnessing poets into the service of politics. These issues are presented in view of the cultural and political life, i.e. public appearances by prominent politicians and culture activists, Marxist history of literature and literary works that ennobled Mickiewicz and Goethe in a hagiographic manner.

On the Justice and Justification of Just War - Maren Lytje - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

On the Justice and Justification of Just War - Maren Lytje - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

This book sets out to explore the questions how democracies decide which lives should be protected, how these lives are defended, and how they are distinguished from the lives that can be lost without mourning. The author analyzes through a range of political and philosophical issues the contemporary just war literature. She emphasizes the problem of human rights, the biopolitics of democratic welfare regimes, and the relationship between the aesthetic value of the visual world and the discursive value of democratic politics. In doing so, the book questions standard conventions about the right to kill in warfare, and challenges some of our basic assumptions about the justice of democratic welfare regimes.
