Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Der römische Dichter Juvenal (ca. 60-140 n. Chr.) prangert in seinen Satiren gesellschaftliche Missstände und individuelles Fehlverhalten an. Die Stadt Rom präsentiert er als gefährlichen Moloch, in dem Machtmissbrauch, Schmeicheleien und Betrug ebenso an der Tagesordnung sind wie Prunk- und Verschwendungssucht oder auch Verstöße gegen die sexuelle Norm. Die zornige Haltung des satirischen Sprechers sorgt für eine mitreißende Darstellung. Häufige Gedankensprünge, die rasche Abfolge beispielhafter Szenen und Bezüge auf aktuelle Ereignisse führen allerdings dazu, dass etliche Stellen in den Satiren nicht unmittelbar verständlich sind. Uns heutige Leser irritieren zudem die Fremdenfeindlichkeit, Angriffe gegen Frauen und die Bloßstellung sexueller Minderheiten. Die vorliegende Ausgabe ermöglicht Vertretern der Klassischen Philologie sowie deren Nachbardisziplinen einen Zugang zu Juvenals Satiren. Die Übersetzung ist dem heute üblichen Sprachgebrauch verpflichtet, ohne sich zu weit vom lateinischen Original zu entfernen. Erklärungen zu Realien und sprachlichen Problemen sowie Ansätze zur Interpretation werden in umfangreichen Anmerkungen geboten. Ein ausführliches Nachwort informiert über den aktuellen Forschungsstand zu Juvenals Leben und Werk.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Der europäische Glücksspielmarkt befindet sich seit knapp 20 Jahren im Umbruch. Der heftige Streit über dessen künftige Ausgestaltung ist durch zuwiderlaufende gesellschaftspolitische und ökonomische Interessen geprägt. In Deutschland prallen divergierende ordnungspolitische Vorstellungen von Bund und Ländern sowie von Glücksspielunternehmern, Sucht- und Verbraucherschützern aufeinander: Die föderale Staatsordnung mit einer Bundeszuständigkeit für das sog. gewerbliche Spiel einerseits (Spielautomaten) und der Länderzuständigkeit für das 'echte' Glücksspiel (Lotterien, Sportwetten, Spielbanken) andererseits hebt die Konfliktlinien besonders hervor. Die Länder haben mit dem im Jahre 2012 in Kraft getretenen Ersten Glücksspieländerungsstaatsvertrag den derzeit gültigen Rechtsrahmen gesetzt, der bereits für sich genommen den Anlass für zahlreiche gerichtliche Auseinandersetzungen bildet. Wie die Vorauflage erschöpft sich dieses Handbuch allerdings nicht in der Erörterung der facettenreichen glücksspielrechtlichen Aspekte. Vielmehr folgt es einem interdisziplinären Ansatz: Zahlreiche namhafte Wissenschaftler und Praktiker vermitteln dem Leser zumindest eine Idee von der geschichtlichen Dimension und der Bedeutung des Glücksspiels für den Einzelnen und die Gesellschaft insgesamt und geben einen Überblick über wesentliche ökonomische und soziologische Gesichtspunkte sowie die modernen Erkenntnisse der Glücksspielsuchtforschung und -therapie. Im Unterschied zur Vorauflage enthält das Buch zudem Länderberichte der führenden Fachleute aus den Hot-Spots der Glücksspielbranche in Südostasien und in den USA. Die Herausgeber Der Jurist Ihno Gebhardt war Leiter der Glücksspielaufsicht im brandenburgischen Innenministerium, Federführer der Glücksspielreferenten der Länder, Mitglied der Bund-Länder-Kommission zur Bekämpfung des illegalen Glücksspiels und Mitglied des Fachbeirates Sucht der Länder gem.10 Abs. 2 GlüStV. In Fachkreisen gilt Gebhardt als Kapazität auf dem Gebiet des europäischen Glücksspielwesens. Stefan Korte ist Inhaber des Lehrstuhls für Öffentliches Recht, insbesondere Öffentliches Wirtschaftsrecht, an der TU Chemnitz. Er wurde mit einer Arbeit zum staatlichen Glücksspielwesen an der Universität Hamburg promoviert und hat darüber hinaus mehrfach im Bereich des gewerblichen Spielrechts und des Glücksspielrechts aus einem primär juristischen, aber zugleich auch wirtschaftswissenschaftlichen Blickwinkel publiziert.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Lassen sich die unterschiedlichen Weisen, philosophisch über Existenz nachzudenken, fruchtbar miteinander in Beziehung setzen Dieses Buch argumentiert für eine positive Antwort auf diese Frage und schlägt dazu sowohl historisch als auch inhaltlich einen großen Bogen: Es rekonstruiert die Auseinandersetzung um die Grundfrage der Metaphysik, warum es etwas statt vielmehr nichts gibt; die in der analytischen Philosophie geführte Debatte um den Status der Existenz als Eigenschaft von Individuen; die Geschichte der ontologischen Gottesbeweise, die um den Gedanken notwendiger Existenz kreisen; die insbesondre im deutschen Idealismus aufkommende Frage nach der (Un-)Begreifbarkeit der Existenz; und schließlich die im engeren Sinne existenzphilosophische Beschäftigung mit personaler Existenz einschließlich ihrer ethischen Dimensionen. Existenz erweist sich am Ende dieses Gedankenweges als das begrifflich unhintergehbare Dass-Sein, das sich letztlich in Gestalt einer Welt personaler Existenz und der für sie eigentümlichen zeitlichen und interpersonalen Verhältnisse enthüllt. 232 pp. Deutsch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The aim of the present volume is to discuss the notion of constitution from the perspectives of history of political thought. Its scholarly intention is to go beyond the approach concentrating on the formal understanding of constitution and bring forward more complex historical and philosophic-political interpretations. Our point of departure was the need to revive the somehow neglected distinction between the idea of constitution as an act of conscious law-giving activity and the notion of constitution conceived as the set of fundamental political rules derived from the very nature of political regime and its historical development. 166 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Sport during Cold War has recently begun to be studied in more depth. Some scholars have edited a book about the US and Soviet sport diplomacy and show ow the government of these two countries have used sport during this period, notably as a tool of 'soft power' during the Olympic games. Our goal is to continue in this direction and to focus more on the sport field as a place of exchanges during the Cold War. Regarding this point, our aim is to show that there were events 'beyond boycotts'many and that unknown connections existed inside sport. Morevoer, many actors were involved in these exchanges. Thus, it is important not only to focus on the action of States, but also on private actors (international sporting bodies and journalists), considering that they acted around sport (an 'apolitic' field) as it was tool to maintain links between the two blocs. Our project offers a good opportunity for young scholars to present original research based on new materials (notably the use of institutional or personals archives). Morevoer, it is also a step forward with a view to conduct research within a global history paradigm, one that is still underused in sport academic fields. 234 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The rhetorical trope of irony is well-trod territory, with books and essays devoted to its use by a wide range of medieval and Renaissance writers, from the Beowulf-poet and Chaucer to Boccaccio and Shakespeare; however, the use of sarcasm, the 'flesh tearing' form of irony, in the same literature has seldom been studied at length or in depth. Sarcasm is notoriously difficult to pick out in a written text, since it relies so much on tone of voice and context. This is the first book-length study of medieval and Renaissance sarcasm. Its fourteen essays treat instances in a range of genres, both sacred and secular, and of cultures from Anglo-Saxon to Arabic, where the combination of circumstance and word choice makes it absolutely clear that the speaker, whether a character or a narrator, is being sarcastic. Essays address, among other things, the clues writers give that sarcasm is at work, how it conforms to or deviates from contemporary rhetorical theories, what role it plays in building character or theme, and how sarcasm conforms to the Christian milieu of medieval Europe, and beyond to medieval Arabic literature. The collection thus illuminates a half-hidden but surprisingly common early literary technique for modern readers. ; Die neue englischsprachige Reihe zur Mediävistik strebt eine methodisch reflektierte, anspruchsvolle Verbindung von Text- und Kulturwissenschaft an. Sie widmet sich den kulturellen Grundthemen der mittelalterlichen Welt aus der Perspektive der Literatur- und Geschichtswissenschaft. Grundthemen' sind die kulturprägenden Denkbilder, Weltanschauungen, Sozialstrukturen und Alltagsbedingungen des mittelalterlichen Lebens, also z. B. Kindheit und Alter, Sexualität, Religion, Medizin, Rituale, Arbeit, Armut und Reichtum, Aberglauben, Erde und Kosmos, Stadt und Land, Krieg, Emotionen, Kommunikation, Reisen usw. Die Reihe greift wichtige aktuelle Fachdiskussionen auf und stellt ein Forum der interdisziplinären Mittelalter-Forschung dar. Fundamentals of Medieval and Early Modern Culture steht Sammelbänden ebenso offen wie Monographien. Intention ist immer, kompendienhafte Werke zu zentralen Fragen der mittelalterlichen Kulturgeschichte vorzulegen, die einen soliden Überblick über einen geschlossenen Themenkreis aus der Perspektive verschiedener Fachdisziplinen vermitteln. Im Ganzen bietet die Reihe so eine Enzyklopädie der mittelalterlichen Literatur- und Kulturgeschichte und ihrer Hauptthemen. Es werden ca. zwei Bände pro Jahr erscheinen. 386 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book explores for the first time the relation between Atticist lexicography and the pronunciation of Greek, an aspect of Atticism that has never been studied thouroughly before. It examines the ideas of the Atticist about what Greek should sound like, drawing on Atticist lexicography as the main source of information on the special pronunciation of the Atticist.

It sheds new light on an aspect of Atticism that is otherwise poorly attested, and complements the existiting study on later Greek and the impact of Atticism in the history of the Greek language. 336 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Over the last decades, it has been hotly debated whether and how compounds, i.e. word-formations, and phrases differ from each other. The book discusses this issue by investigating compounds and phrases from a structural, semantic-functional and, crucially, cognitive perspective. The analysis focuses on compounds and phrases that are composed of either an adjective and a noun or two nouns in German, French and English. Having distinguished compounds from phrases on structural and semantic-functional grounds, the author claims that compounds are by their nature more appropriate to be stored in the mental lexicon than phrases and supports his argument with empirical evidence from new psycholinguistic studies. In sum, the book maintains the separation between compounds and phrases and reflects upon its cognitive consequences. 312 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -'This is an immensely useful resource for other scholars and philosophers wishing to understand Kant's views on love.'- Rae Langton, University of Cambridge What did Immanuel Kant really think about love In Kant on Love, Pärttyli Rinne provides the first systematic study of 'love' in the philosophy of Kant. Rinne argues that love is much more important to Kant than previously realised, and that understanding love is actually essential for Kantian ethical life.The study involves two interpretative main propositions. First, that love in Kant includes an underlying general division of love into love of benevolence and love of delight. Further, the study divides Kant's concept of love into several aspects of love, such as self-love, sexual love (and love of beauty), love of God, love of neighbor and love in friendship. A chapter of the book is devoted to each of these aspects, beginning with the lowest forms of self-love as crude animality, and moving gradually upwards towards idealised ethical notions of love. One way or another, the major aspects relate to the general division of love.This analytical trajectory yields the second main proposition of the study: Together, the aspects of love reveal an ascent of love in Kant's thought. Perhaps surprisingly, for Kant, love permeates human existence from the strongest impulses of nature to the highest ideals of morally deserved happiness. ; In der Reihe werden herausragende monographische Untersuchungen und Sammelbände zu allen Aspekten der Philosophie Kants veröffentlicht, ebenso zum systematischen Verhältnis seiner Philosophie zu anderen philosophischen Ansätzen in Geschichte und Gegenwart.

Yet when placed side by side on opposing pages, German and Hebrew converge in the middle. Comprised of essays on literature, history, philosophy, and the visual and performing arts, this volume explores the mutual influence of two linguistic cultures long held as separate or even as diametrically opposed.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book provides an insight into the standardisation process of German in eighteenth-century Austria. It describes how norms prescribed by grammarians were actually implemented via a school reform carried out by educationalist Johann Ignaz Felbiger on the order of Empress Maria Theresa. Quantitative and qualitative analyses were undertaken of certain Upper German features (e-apocope, the absence of the prefix ge- and the ending -t in past participles, and variants of the verb form sind) in reading primers, issues of the Wienerisches Diarium / Wiener Zeitung and petitionary letters. These reveal how such variants became increasingly 'invisible' in writing. This process of 'invisibilisation', i.e. a process of stigmatization which prevents the use of certain varieties and variants in writing, can be attributed to a number of factors: Empress Maria Theresa's appeal for a language reform, the normative work by eighteenth-century grammarians, the implementation of educational reforms, and the early introduction of East Central German variants in newspaper issues. ; In der Reihe erscheinen Studien und Quellen zur Geschichte der deutschen Sprache und Literatur von den Anfängen der Überlieferung im 8.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The creation of new lexical units and patterns has been studied in different research frameworks, focusing on either system-internal or system-external aspects, from which no comprehensive view has emerged. The volume aims to fill this gap by studying dynamic processes in the lexicon - understood in a wide sense as not being necessarily limited to the word level - by bringing together approaches directed to morphological productivity as well as approaches analyzing general types of lexical innovation and the role of discourse-related factors. The papers deal with ongoing changes as well as with historical processes of change in different languages and reflect on patterns and specific subtypes of lexical innovation as well as on their external conditions and the speakers' motivations for innovating. Moreover, the diffusion and conventionalization of innovations will be addressed. In this way, the volume contributes to understanding the complex interplay of structural, cognitive and functional factors in the lexicon as a highly dynamic domain.; The book series is dedicated to the study of the multifaceted dynamics of wordplay as an interface phenomenon. The contributions aim to bring together approaches from various disciplines and present case studies on different communicative settings, including everyday language and literary communication, and thus offer fresh perspectives on wordplay in the context of linguistic innovation, language contact, and speaker-hearer-interaction. La collection vise à analyser la diversité de la dynamique du jeu de mots en tant que phénomène d'interface. Les contributions réunissent des approches de différentes disciplines et présentent des études de cas de situations de communication variées, incluant autant le langage quotidien que la communication littéraire. Ainsi, elles offrent de nouvelles perspectives sur le jeu de mots dans le contexte de l'innovation linguistique, du contact linguistique, et de l'interaction locuteur-interlocuteur. Die Buchreihe widmet sich einer Untersuchung der vielseitigen Dynamik des Wortspiels als Schnittstellenphänomen. Die Beiträge vereinigen Ansätze aus unterschiedlichen Disziplinen und Fallstudien zu unterschiedlichen Kommunikationsfeldern, etwa der Alltagssprache und der literarischen Kommunikation. Damit eröffnen sie neue Perspektiven auf das Wortspiel im Kontext von sprachlicher Innovation, Sprachkontakt und Sprecher-Hörer-Interaktion.
