Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Der Begriff 'Exodus' steht hier für das Ende einer historischen Epoche: die Entwurzelung und Heimatlosigkeit der Juden in Europa nach dem Holocaust. Fluchtbewegungen, Versuche des Neubeginns in Übersee, die Erfahrung des Exils sind Aspekte des komplexen Themas. Der Flucht nach Shanghai folgte dort kein dauerhafter Aufenthalt, das Zusammentreffen von 'Opfern' und 'Tätern' in Südamerika gehören wie die DP-Lager in Westdeutschland zu den Determinanten jüdischer Nachkriegsexistenz. In den Blick zu nehmen ist auch die kirchliche Fluchthilfe für NS-Täter (»Rattenlinie«). Zum Vergleich mit dem jüdischen Schicksal werden drei kulturelle Gemeinschaften exemplarisch betrachtet. Die Bukowinadeutschen, die während der NS-Herrschaft ihre Heimat verlassen mussten, damit annektierte Gebiete wie das 'Wartheland' dem Prozess der 'Eindeutschung' unterzogen werden konnten, wurden dort zum zweiten Mal vertrieben und mussten sich im besetzten Nachkriegsdeutschland neue Existenzen aufbauen. Im gleichen Zusammenhang ist die Identität von Deutschen und Juden nach dem Krieg in Czernowitz bzw. in Siebenbürgen von Interesse. Die Erfahrungen von Nichtjuden als kultureller und ethnischer Gemeinschaft unter existentiell-katastrophalen Bedingungen schärfen den Blick für die Dimension des Menschheitsverbrechens, ohne zu relativieren.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The series 'QUELLEN UND FORSCHUNGEN ZUR LITERATUR- UND KULTURGESCHICHTE' (Sources and Research in the History of Literature and Culture), with a rich tradition stretching back to 1874, is an established feature among the renowned publications for German Literary Studies. Edited by Mark-Georg Dehrmann and Christiane Witthöft, the series presents examples of high-quality scholarship examining literary texts in conjunction with historical cultural phenomena, particularly with the other arts. There is an explicit demand for literary studies with a transdisciplinary approach. German literature from the Middle Ages to the present day forms the main focus of the series. As the historical cultural thrust of the series includes aspects of intercultural experience and national perceptions of the other, Quellen und Forschungen is also open to occasional comparative studies. The publications of the series include monographs, doctoral and professorial theses. Works presented for acceptance in the series are required to display scholarly relevance and excellence in method and presentation.; Die interdisziplinäre Studie zum Text-Bild-Verhältnis geht der Frage nach, wie der Ausdruck der 'vremde' in den illuminierten Handschriften des Parzival Wolframs von Eschenbach konnotiert ist.Die sprachliche Untersuchung ausgewählter Textzeugen (Cgm 19, cpg 339 und Cod. AA 91) gibt Aufschluss über die Semantik der 'Fremde' zwischen der Mitte des 13. und der zweiten Hälfte des 15. Jh. Die Bildanalyse widmet sich den zeitgenössischen stereotypen Vorstellungen von 'vremde' und zeigt z.B. auf welche Weise Feirefiz als 'heide' dargestellt ist. Weiterhin wird erkennbar, wie bildgestalterische Mittel quasi rhetorisch zur visuellen Umsetzung mit den semantischen Teilbedeutungen der 'vremde' beitragen. Das reicht von inhaltlichen dargestellten Details - etwa wenn Cundrie einen Eberzahn erhält - bis hin zu formalen Gestaltungelementen wie Farbe oder Bildaufteilung. Die Untersuchung trägt zur Forschungdsdiskussion bebilderter Handschriften bei und plädiert für die Untersuchung eines Codex als Gesamtwerk. Textuelle und bildliche Inhalte sind für die Wahrnehmung und Interpretation durch den Betrachter ebenso relevant wie die Schrift, die Seitengestaltung und die gesamte Materialität.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The book links the concept of intention to human action. It provides answers to questions like: Why do we act intentionally Which impact do reasons and motives have on our decisions Certain events are identified as intentional actions when they are considered as being rationalized by reasons. The linguistic description of such events enables us to reveal the structure of intention. The mental and the linguistic constitute irreducible ways of understanding events. Among the topics discussed are intentionality, actions, the linguistic form to talk about intentionality and actions, Brentano's view of intentionality, the phenomenological approach to intention and Wittgenstein's proposals. The contributions by Wolfgang Künne, Peter Simons, Christian Bermes, Kevin Mulligan, Severin Schroeder, António Marques, Margit Gaffal, Michel Le Du, Jesús Padilla Gálvez, Bernhard Obsieger and Amir Horowitz show that actions and decisions are guided by intentional considerations. ; Die Reihe präsentiert innovative Beiträge zur gegenwärtigen philosophischen Forschung und schlägt dabei Brücken zwischen der analytischen und der kontinentalen Philosophie-Tradition.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Analysis in singular spaces is becoming an increasingly important area of research, with motivation coming from the calculus of variations, PDEs, geometric analysis, metric geometry and probability theory, just to mention a few areas.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The book is an anthropological study of a phenomenon observed within the range of contemporary Polish Catholic religiosity. The Crucified focuses on two fundamental issues: passion plays and performance theory. It presents an analysis of material collected during five years of field research, which sheds light on the varied world of religious performances. The phenomenon of passion plays is extremely complex and to some extent heterogeneous, hence its in-depth analysis reveals much not only about its own nature, but also about the entire modern religiosity. As a result, the book is constructed in such a way as to focus on a single phenomenon, but with conclusions extending to a much wider range of contemporary religious practices. The book reveals the need for self-expression of one's own attitudes observable in contemporary spirituality, as well as the increasing participation of believers in the development of their religious life and thus in the formation of their own religious identity. All these processes are interpreted in terms of performance theory. Applying this approach makes it possible to capture the believers' need for activity and creativity in the field of practices alternative to the liturgy. 268 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This volume on iron-sulfur proteins includes chapters that describe the initial discovery of iron-sulfur proteins in the 1960s to elucidation of the roles of iron sulfur clusters as prosthetic groups of enzymes, such as the citric acid cycle enzyme, aconitase, and numerous other proteins, ranging from nitrogenase to DNA repair proteins. The capacity of iron sulfur clusters to accept and delocalize single electrons is explained by basic chemical principles, which illustrate why iron sulfur proteins are uniquely suitable for electron transport and other activities. Techniques used for detection and stabilization of iron-sulfur clusters, including EPR and Mossbauer spectroscopies, are discussed because they are important for characterizing unrecognized and elusive iron sulfur proteins. Recent insights into how nitrogenase works have arisen from multiple advances, described here, including studies of high-resolution crystal structures. 466 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Schleiermacher's readers have long been familiar with his proposal for an 'eternal covenant' between theology and natural science. Yet there is disagreement both about what this 'covenant' amounts to, why Schleiermacher proposed it, and how he meant it to be persuasive. In The Eternal Covenant, Pedersen argues, contrary to received wisdom, that the 'eternal covenant' is not first a methodological or political proposal but is, rather, the end result of a complex case from the doctrine of God, the notion of a world, and an account of divine action. With his compound case against miracles, Schleiermacher secures the in-principle explicability of everything in the world through natural causes. However, his case is not only negative. Far from a mere concession, the eternal covenant is an argument for what Schleiermacher calls, 'the essential identity of ethics and natural philosophy.' Indeed, because the nature system is both intended for love and wisely ordered, the world is a supremely beautiful divine artwork and is, therefore, the absolute self-revelation of God. Schleiermacher's case is a challenging alternative to reigning accounts of God, nature, divine action, and the relationship between religion and science.; Die Theologische Bibliothek Töpelmann bietet ein Forum für wissenschaftliche Arbeiten in Systematischer Theologie und Religionsphilosophie. Die Reihe steht allen Aspekten einer weit verstandenen Systematischen Theologie offen, insbesondere Forschungen zu Dogmatik, Ethik, allen Epochen der Theologiegeschichte und Religionsphilosophie sowie auch solchen Arbeiten, die bibelwissenschaftliche Perspektiven mit theologischen Fragen verbinden.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Narratology has been flourishing in recent years thanks to investigations into a broad spectrum of narratives, at the same time diversifying its theoretical and disciplinary scope as it has sought to specify the status of narrative within both society and scientific research. The diverse endeavors engendered by this situation have brought narrative to the forefront of the social and human sciences and have generated new synergies in the research environment.Emerging Vectors of Narratology brings together 27 state-of-the-art contributions by an international panel of authors that provide insight into the wealth of new developments in the field. The book consists of two sections. 'Contexts' includes articles that reframe and refine such topics as the implied author, narrative causation and transmedial forms of narrative; it also investigates various historical and cultural aspects of narrative from the narratological perspective. 'Openings' expands on these and other questions by addressing the narrative turn, cognitive issues, narrative complexity and metatheoretical matters.The book is intended for narratologists as well as for readers in the social and human sciences for whom narrative has become a crucial matrix of inquiry. ; Die Reihe Narratologia publiziert innovative Monographien und Sammelbände zur modernen Erzähltheorie und zu ihrer fachgeschichtlichen Rekonstruktion aus allen philologischen Disziplinen.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The much-acclaimed present-day philosophical turn to the letters of Saint Paul points to a profound consonance between ancient and modern thought. Such is the bold claim of this study in which scholars from contemporary continental philosophy, new testamentary studies and ancient philosophy discuss with each other the meaning Paul's terms pistis, faith. In this volume, this theme discusses in detail the threefold relation between Paul and (1) continental thought, (2) the Graeco-Roman world, and (3) political theology. It is shown that pistis does not only concern a mode of knowing, but rather concerns the human ethos or mode of existence as a whole. Moreover, it is shown that the present-day political theological interest in Paul can be seen as an attempt to recuperate Paul s pistis in this comprehensive sense. Finally, an important discussion concerning the specific ontological implications and background of this reinterpretation of pistis is examined by comparing the ancient ontological commitments to those of the present-day philosophers. Thus, the volume offers an insight in a crucial consonance of ancient and modern thought concerning the question of pistis in Paul while not forgetting to stipulate important differences. 382 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Hitherto, there has been no book that attempted to sum up the breadth of Umberto Eco's work and it importance for the study of semiotics, communication and cognition. There have been anthologies and overviews of Eco's work within Eco Studies; sometimes, works in semiotics have used aspects of Eco's work. Yet, thus far, there has been no overview of the work of Eco in the breadth of semiotics. This volume is a contribution to both semiotics and Eco studies. The 40 scholars who participate in the volume come from a variety of disciplines but have all chosen to work with a favorite quotation from Eco that they find particularly illustrative of the issues that his work raises. Some of the scholars have worked exegetically placing the quotation within a tradition, others have determined the (epistemic) value of the quotation and offered a critique, while still others have seen the quotation as a starting point for conceptual developments within a field of application. However, each article within this volume points toward the relevance of Eco -- for contemporary studies concerning semiotics, communication and cognition. 352 pp. Englisch.…
