Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - For many religious groups today, issues of gender identity, gender equality, gender roles, sexuality, sexual ethics, abortion, and equal marriage are the subject of much debate. Roman Catholic and evangelical groups - traditionally theologically opposed - share certain perspectives on social values and moral beliefs. Cooperation between these groups on political issues is well-attested in various societal contexts around the world concerning, for example, feminism, abortion, homosexuality, and 'gender' politics. Groups are challenged to renegotiate values and norms, an undertaking which entails potential for conflict. Ideological and religious debates no longer necessarily run along confessional or denominational lines, rather are reflected in processes of negotiation of values. This collection of case studies on issues of gender and sexuality in Christian groups includes critical reflections on both the Roman Catholic gender discourse and non- and inter-denominational groups, movements, publications, and personalities.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Selective Empathy: The West Through the Gaze of Gaza takes us to the heart of the greatest moral crisis of our time: the genocide in Gaza. Blending sharp political critique with psychological and global health research, haunting testimonies, and suppressed facts, Roberto De Vogli exposes the moral double standards of mainstream Western leaders, journalists, and intellectuals. The book reveals an international community that extends compassion to some victims while denying it to others. Gaza has become a mirror, a litmus test, and a moral blind spot in the West's eye. Will our civilization survive this crisis of humanity De Vogli challenges prevailing narratives and calls for a new solidarity grounded in universal empathy, social justice, and emotional decolonization.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This volume explores Paul Celan's poetry through the lens of geology, materiality of landscape, and deep time. It examines how stone, earth, and mineral imagery shape his response to historical trauma, silence, and loss. Through close readings, the volume shows how Celan's poems function as stratified inscriptions - sites where memory, matter, and language become entangled. Combining literary analysis with insights from posthumanism and material ecocriticism, the volume reveals Celan's work as a profound meditation on the Earth's textures, temporalities, and the fragile continuities of human experience.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Die Mnemotechnik setzte seit der Antike das abjekte Bild zentral, das die zu erinnernden Sachverhalte durch affektische Erschütterung einzuprägen helfen soll.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The Dialectics of Chinese Labor examines China's trade union adaptation to the changing demands of the working class. For nearly 50 years, market socialism is transforming China from a rural to an urban economy, posing significant challenges to China's trade union federation (ACFTU). The labor federation has skilfully reshaped its organizing strategies to respond to workers' new material realities. This book counters the monolithic position that devalues ACFTU by using direct evidence to reveal its commitment and determination to improve wages and working conditions across the industrial, service, digital and rural sectors of the Chinese economy.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -At the end of World War II, many of the societies in East Central Europe experienced a shift from right-wing fascism to left-wing communism. This volume analyses the way religious actors and communities experienced and responded to this ideological shift. The inter-disciplinary volume comprises 13 chapters, highlighting different case studies from Estonia to Croatia and from East Germany to Ukraine. The chapters show how each case provides a unique window into personal, social, and institutional constraints and pathways to deal with the changing political orientation while remaining true to one's religious convictions. The individual solutions ranged from a creative espousal of the new ideological situation and tacit complicity to more or less covert opposition. 341 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -In this study, Johannes Nagel examines a series of far-reaching Army and Navy reforms in the USA between 1865 and 1905 in a global context, with a particular focus on the societal effects of the First Globalization. Although security and empire-seeking played a role in these reforms, only adaptation to global norms and models can explain why they took the form they did - and why the U.S. began to shape itself into a European-style great military power. 343 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Preaching is possible in profoundly impactful, soulful, and meaningful ways. In many places this already happens--often beyond the pulpit and without being recognized as preaching. The authors examine the unquestioned power claims of traditional, front-facing preaching and offer alternative, feminist, and postcolonial approaches. Focusing on participation rather than pulpit-centered authority, they seek to transform preaching within a world that is itself in transformation.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This collection of studies is devoted to the social role of language in the history of East Central Europe from the Middle Ages to the beginning of the 20th century. The authors examine the specificity of East Central Europe, an area that was a borderland between 'West' and 'East'. The region was largely inhabited by Slavic people, which gave it the character - and sometimes the name - of a Slavic world, but it was also home to non-Slavic ethnic groups (Germans, Hungarians, Jews). Various cultures, traditions, religions, faiths reinforced by social and economic divisions, as well as changing political borders over the centuries, created a complex picture of human relations. The authors set out to understand the history of East Central Europe through language - or rather co-existing languages - and the role they played at different levels of communication and in different systems of human relations (social, economic and political). 330 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This major volume comprises the seminal essays of Russian Formalist Yuri Tynianov (1894-1943) on Pushkin's artistic development and the evolution of 19th-century Russian poetry. The essays cover a wide range of subjects, centring on Pushkin's evolution as a poet, but also considering his prose. Tynianov deconstructs the 'lone genius' myth and explores the literary and historical context which reveals the social nature of the creative process, in which geniuses do not make their breakthroughs entirely independently from others. Pushkin's interaction with the wide and varied circle of literary figures provides a deeper understanding of what came to be known as the 'Pushkin age'. The previously untranslated texts allow for readings of Tynianov's historical fiction within the context of his scholarly studies, and his creative works as the testing ground for discoveries which were later developed theoretically in his scholarship. 406 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This book challenges the notion of Roma as mere victims of human rights violations in 20th century Europe and as another collective victim of Nazism and Stalinism. Focusing on post-war Czechoslovakia in the first 20 years of its existence as a communist state, the book explores various spheres of public life in which it is possible to trace the agency of Romani individuals and collective initiatives. As citizens and Holocaust survivors they fought for equal rights, social and political participation under conditions which appeared to be a dramatic reformulation of the state's approach to Roma under communist rule. The book offers a collection of texts, a unique selection of historical sources of predominantly Romani provenance, and commentaries that contextualise these sources within the history of post-war Czechoslovakia and the local nascent Romani movement. 418 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Seeds asks what must already be in place for thought, perception, and relation to begin. You enter a modular and recursive text built from signals, fragments, and Morse-based structures, where rhythm and interval operate as temporal engines and silence functions as condition rather than absence. Instead of narrating experience, Seeds records executed forms--pulses, delays, repetitions--so meaning appears as a late arrival rather than a foundation. The book foregrounds emergence without origin, growth without teleology, and coherence without hierarchy, offering a media-archaeological poetics of structure that can be entered anywhere and revisited without closure.…
