Oplysningens verden - - Bog - Aarhus Universitetsforlag - Plusbog.dk

Hvorfor var det Vesteuropa eller Nordvesteuropa, der efter middelalderen ekspanderede og blev globalt dominerende? Det er et ofte tilbagevendende spørgsmål i studiet af verdenshistorien.Mens renæssancen gav startskuddet til den globale europæiske dominans, er det ofte oplysningstidens idéverden, der bruges som begrundelse for fastholdelsen og udbredelsen af den europæiske dominans. Mens nogle af de andre civilisationer måske også kunne tilskrives elementer af en renæssance, synes oplysningstidens verdsliggjorte verdensopfattelse kombineret med et globalt udsyn og en voksende respekt for empiriske observationer at have været et helt specielt europæisk fænomen.Oplysningstiden "indrammes" af to bogudgivelser: John Lockes An Essay Concerning Human Understanding fra 1690 og Immanuel Kants Kritik der reinen Vernunft fra 1781.Med Oplysningens Verden ønsker Aarhus Universitet at følge op på succesudgivelsen, Renæssancens Verden, ved igen at lade de mange medarbejdere, der har arbejdet med temaer fra oplysningstiden, bidrage til Aarhus Universitets formidling af noget af den omfattende viden, universitetet producerer.

Edward Lloyd and His World - - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Edward Lloyd and His World - - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The publisher Edward Lloyd (1815-1890) helped shape Victorian popular culture in ways that have left a legacy that lasts right up to today. He was a major pioneer of both popular fiction and journalism but has never received extended scholarly investigation until now. Lloyd shaped the modern popular press: Lloyd''s Weekly Newspaper became the first paper to sell over a million copies. Along with publishing songs and broadsides, Lloyd dominated the fiction market in the early Victorian period issuing Gothic stories such as Varney the Vampire (1845-7) and other ''penny dreadfuls'', which became bestsellers. Lloyd''s publications introduced the enduring figure of Sweeney Todd whilst his authors penned plagiarisms of Dickens''s novels, such as Oliver Twiss (1838-9). Many readers in the early Victorian period may have been as likely to have encountered the author of Pickwick in a Lloyd-published plagiarism as in the pages of the original author. This book makes us rethink the early reception of Dickens. In this interdisciplinary collection, leading scholars explore the world of Edward Lloyd and his stable of writers, such as Thomas Peckett Prest and James Malcolm Rymer. The Lloyd brand shaped popular taste in the age of Dickens and the Chartists. Edward Lloyd and his World fills a major gap in the histories of popular fiction and journalism, whilst developing links with Victorian politics, theatre and music.

The Foundations of the Aarhus Convention - Emily Barritt - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

The Foundations of the Aarhus Convention - Emily Barritt - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

This important new monograph offers an innovative new analysis of the Aarhus Convention. Environmental law is dense with monolithic concepts, from environmental democracy to intergenerational justice, from sustainable development to stewardship. Each concept generates its own mythology about what environmental law should aspire to. Sometimes these ideas become so big that we lose hold of their meaning and therefore what we allude to when we describe environmental law in such terms. No more so is this true than in relation to the Aarhus Convention – an ambitious instrument of environmental law that promotes public participation and access to justice in relation to the environment. Since its inception it has been revered in glowing terms, and praised variously for its contribution to citizenship, environmental responsibility and democratic legitimacy. But how are we to know whether these descriptions are mere puffs or genuine statements about the Convention’s character? This book digs deep into the foundations of the Aarhus Convention, examining its ambitious potential through the lens of three foundational purposes – environmental rights, democracy and stewardship. In so doing, it contributes to our understanding both of the Convention and our understanding of three important purposes that inhabit environmental law, unravelling and reassembling them to build meaning into our broad-brush descriptions.

Kunstværk, udenværk og visuel kultur - Anders Troelsen - Bog - Aarhus Universitetsforlag - Plusbog.dk

Kunstværk, udenværk og visuel kultur - Anders Troelsen - Bog - Aarhus Universitetsforlag - Plusbog.dk

Billeder taler direkte til os – sådan fornemmer vi det ofte, når vi oplever udtryksfuld kunst. De vækker vores nysgerrighed, rører os følelsesmæssigt, udfordrer vores kunstsyn eller leger med vores perception. Vi får lyst til at komme i dialog med værkerne og sætte ord på oplevelsen. Det kan viden om oplevelsespsykologi, formlære, betydningsanalyse og tegnteori hjælpe os med. I Kunstværk, udenværk og visuel kultur præsenterer Anders Troelsen centrale begreber i billedanalysen og fører os ind i en visuel verden af middelaldermalerier, tegneserier og vodkareklamer foruden markante værker af kunstnere fra Rembrandt til Gerhard Richter. Samtidig viser han, hvordan vores opfattelse af kunsten også hænger sammen med det, der er uden om værkerne. Rammer, titler og signaturer såvel som historiske forløb, forestillingsmønstre og museumsarkitektur har betydning for, hvordan billederne taler til os – og for vores samtale med dem. Anders Troelsen er mag.art. i litteraturvidenskab og exam.art. i filmvidenskab. Professor ved Arkitektskolen i Aarhus og tidligere lektor ved Kunsthistorie, Aarhus Universitet.

Tænkepauser 85-96 - Emma Louise Louth - Bog - Aarhus Universitetsforlag - Plusbog.dk

Tænkepauser 85-96 - Emma Louise Louth - Bog - Aarhus Universitetsforlag - Plusbog.dk

Tænkepauser er bogserien, hvor topforskere fra Aarhus Universitet formidler deres viden om centrale emner som frihed, netværk og tillid. Idéen er at kanalisere forskningen ud til nye målgrupper og ind i hverdagens pauser - fra sofahjørnet til løbeturen. Hver bog er lækkert designet og udstråler den kæmpemæssige begejstring, som forskerne har for deres emne. Kombineret med lettilgængeligt sprog, en overskuelig længde og en ofte humoristisk tone gør det serien til en intet mindre end fremragende formidling af vigtig viden, som ellers ofte kun skrives af fagfolk for fagfolk.

Antikkens verden - - Bog - Aarhus Universitetsforlag - Plusbog.dk

Antikkens verden - - Bog - Aarhus Universitetsforlag - Plusbog.dk

Redigeret af Birte Poulsen og Ole Høiris Med Antikkens verden afslutter Aarhus Universitetsforlag sin store serie om den europæiske kultur- og idéhistorie. Den græsk-romerske verden har i mange henseender dannet grundlag for nutidens samfund - fra sprog, litteratur og filosofi til politiske systemer. Antikken dannede således grobund for de tre store idésystemer, der skulle komme til at bære den europæiske historie i flere tusinde år: kristendommens tolkning af den menneskelige eksistens, den verdslige videnskab baseret på observation, tænkning og logik og retssystemet udviklet ud fra den romerske statsforvaltning. I 29 artikler i Antikkens verden stiller forskere skarpt på centrale aspekter af antikkens tænkning, kultur og livsformer - fra den græske komedie og kultstatuer i græsk religion over romerske dødsriter og naturretstænkning til Paulus og tidlig bibeltolkning. Dermed giver bogen indsigt i grundlaget for hele den vestlige verdens kultur - og en baggrund for at forstå, hvorfor det netop blev de europæiske magter, der efter 1500 år blev globalt dominerende.

Fremtiden - - Bog - Aarhus Universitetsforlag - Plusbog.dk

Fremtiden - - Bog - Aarhus Universitetsforlag - Plusbog.dk

Fremtiden er ikke et bud på fremtidsforskning, men en kvalificeret fremstilling af en række mulige scenarier, der skal opfattes som indlæg i en debat om fremtiden, således som den tegner sig i nutiden; for ligesom historien altid skrives som nutidens historie, således skrives fremtiden også som nutidens fremtid. Denne bog repræsenterer en række forskeres bidrag til debatten, og den viser, hvor vanskeligt det er at tænke en helt ny tilværelsesform i fremtiden. Vi kan tænke fremtiden som en forfinelse af nutiden, som det at overkomme nutidens problemer, finde en finere eller mere intelligent måde at håndtere dem på, men vi kan ikke med dette afsæt forestille os et radikalt nyt samfund, hvor en ny erkendelsesform forholder sig til videnskab, som videnskab til religion; hvor lighed mellem kønnene finder en ny og højere form; hvor demokratiet erstattes af en samfundsform, der adskiller sig lige så radikalt fra det nuværende folkestyre, som dette adskiller sig fra den feudale enevælde. Kort sagt, er det vanskeligt at tænke fremtiden som andet end en kvalitativ og kvantitativ fuldkommengørelse af moderniteten i en eller anden form. 14 forskere fra Aarhus Universitet giver hver sit bud på, hvordan fremtiden ser ud inden for bl.a. biomedicin, matematik, lægevidenskab, jordbrugsproduktion, økonomi, statskundskab, idéhistorie og teologi.

Baudelaire's World - Rosemary Lloyd - Bog - Cornell University Press - Plusbog.dk

Baudelaire's World - Rosemary Lloyd - Bog - Cornell University Press - Plusbog.dk

Charles Baudelaire is often regarded as the founder of modernist poetry. Written with clarity and verve, Baudelaire''s World provides English-language readers with the biographical, historical, and cultural contexts that will lead to a fuller understanding and enjoyment of the great French poet''s work. Rosemary Lloyd considers all of Baudelaire''s writing, including his criticism, theory, and letters, as well as poetry. In doing so, she sets the poems themselves in a richer context, in a landscape of real places populated with actual people. She shows how Baudelaire''s poetry was marked by the influence of the writers and artists who preceded him or were his contemporaries. Lloyd builds an image of Baudelaire''s world around major themes of his writing—childhood, women, reading, the city, dreams, art, nature, death. Throughout, she finds that his words and themes echo the historical and physical realities of life in mid-nineteenth-century Paris. Lloyd also explores the possibilities and limitations of translation. As an integral part of her treatment of the life, poetry, and letters of her subject, she also reflects on published translations of Baudelaire''s work and offers some of her own translations.

The British Empire 1558-1995 - T.o. Lloyd - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

The British Empire 1558-1995 - T.o. Lloyd - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

This is a comprehensive survey of the entire history of the British empire. Avoiding the polemics or apologetics that were inevitable when the empire was still at the centre of political controversy, T. O. Lloyd describes the full sweep of expansion and decolonization from the voyages of discovery in the reign of Queen Elizabeth I to the achievement of independence in the second half of the twentieth century. Drawing out both parallels and differences between paths of development throughout the empire, Professor Lloyd provides a unified and coherent account of a vital period in the history of all the countries that make up the modern Commonwealth.For the second edition, Professor Lloyd has revised the text, updated the bibliography and tables, and added a final chapter on `The World after the Empire'', which examines the important events and issues of today in countries of the former empire, such as South Africa, Canada, Hong Kong, and Australia.

David Lloyd George British Labour Movement - Professor Chris Wrigley - Bog - Edward Everett Root - Plusbog.dk

David Lloyd George British Labour Movement - Professor Chris Wrigley - Bog - Edward Everett Root - Plusbog.dk

Before the First World War, Lloyd George moved from being the leading Nonconformist Welsh Radical in to being a highly effective Radical minister, providing imaginative solutions to social welfare and free trade finance. His emergence as a key figure on the Left occurred as the Labour Party developed as a contender for mining and industrial seats. With the First World War Lloyd George built on his pre-war reputation as a minister who could successfully resolve industrial conflict. He was the key production minister at Munitions in 1915-16 and continued to resolve industrial disputes as Prime Minister. Wrigley demonstrates that Lloyd George was moulded by Liberalism and, as a solicitor, admired business people even if he was a vehement critic of landowners. Highly sympathetic to poor people and unorganised labour, he was not trade union minded.
