Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Wie kaum ein anderes Werk Jean Pauls versammelt sein 'Leben des Quintus Fixlein' um einen im Zentrum stehenden idyllisch-satirischen Roman eine Gruppe eigenständiger, hinsichtlich ihres Charakters und Überlieferungsstatus divergierende Prosastücke. Die Elemente des 'Quintus Fixlein' konstituieren hierbei ein Flechtwerk von Texten, das die Dynamik des gesamten Jean Paulschen Textkosmos repräsentiert. Während in Eduard Berends traditionsreicher Ausgabe nur Aspekte der Textgenese dargestellt werden konnten, leistet die Neu-Edition im Rahmen der 2009 begründeten, DFG-geförderten neuen Werkausgabe die genaue Dokumentation aller genetischer Stufen. Dies betrifft im Textband die beiden Druckauflagen, die miteinander verglichen werden, und im Kommentarband die erstmalige Edition der handschriftlichen Vorarbeiten sowie die Aufarbeitung der Prätexte. Einen Sonderfall stellt die Überlieferung der 'Geschichte meiner Vorrede zur zweiten Auflage des Quintus Fixlein' dar, die erstmals 1797 gesondert veröffentlicht wurde und die Eigenständigkeit der Vorreden im Schaffen Jean Pauls belegt. Sie wird in einem eigenen Fassungsvergleich im Textband dargestellt. Der ebenfalls genetisch angelegte Kommentarband enthält zudem Erläuterungen.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - In 1638, the Jesuit, poet, preacher, and historian from Upper Swabia, Johannes Bisselius (1601-1682) published the first volume of his seasonal poem Deliciae Veris. These 'Pleasures of Spring' are a subtly composed, stylistically unique cycle inspired by multiple motivations. The poem cycle is presented here for the first time in a modern edition with a German translation and insightful commentary, including an introduction to each poem. ; Der obeschwäbische Jesuit, Dichter, Prediger und Historiograph Johannes Bisselius (Bislin, 1601-1682) veröffentlichte 1638 den ersten Band seiner Jahreszeitendichtung unter dem Titel Deliciae Veris. Diese 'Frühlingsfreuden', ein subtil komponierter, stilistisch einzigartiger und von mannigfachen Anregungen gespeister Gedichtzyklus, werden hier erstmals in einer modernen Edition mit deutscher Übersetzung und umfassend erschließendem Kommentar vorgelegt. 65 teils umfangreiche Elegien, die hagiographische Themen aber auch Natureindrücke, religiöse Festtage aber auch regionales Brauchtum, biblische Sujets aber auch autobiographisches Erleben des Dichters poetisieren, lassen einen barocken Lyriker erkennen, dessen Duktus und Ausdruckswille nicht nur in der neulateinischen Literatur ganz unverwechselbar ist. …

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Five necropoleis have been identified in the area around Diokaisareia in Rough Cilicia (Turkey). Most of them lie along the roads leading into the polis. Some 750 burials and graves that have been recorded are arranged here by type: sarcophagi, rock graves and funerary monuments. The professions named in the inscriptions go some way to allowing a preliminary reconstruction of life in the city. Only a few graves date to the years before the foundation of the city in the 1st century AD, most of them are from the Roman imperial and early Byzantine periods.; Im Umfeld des antiken Diokaisareia im Rauhen Kilikien (Türkei) lassen sich fünf Nekropolen feststellen, die vorwiegend an wichtigen Zufahrtsstraßen der Polis liegen. Die etwa 750 aufgenommenen Gräber und Grabanlagen sind typologisch in Sarkophage, Felsgräber und Grabbauten zu unterteilen. Anhand der in den Inschriften genannten Berufsnennungen lässt sich zumindest im Ansatz ein Bild des städtischen Lebens rekonstruieren. Während nur wenige Gräber aus der Zeit vor der Stadtgründung im 1. Jh. n. Chr. datieren, wurde der Großteil in der römischen Kaiserzeit und in frühbyzantinischer Zeit angelegt.; Dissertationsschrift.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Die als 'Mittelalter' bezeichnete Epoche der europäischen Geschichte ist zunächst gegenwärtig in der Vielzahl von Gegenständen und Denkmälern, von Handschriften und Bauten, von Literatur und Musik, die aus jener Epoche bis heute erhalten geblieben sind. Einen umfassenden Deutungszusammenhang von 'Mittelalter' schuf sodann der von den Humanisten des Spätmittelalters und der Renaissance konzipierte Begriff des 'Medium Ævum', der noch unserem Begriff des Mittelalters als dem 'Jahrtausend von 500 bis 1500' zugrunde liegt. Schließlich führten die historischen Erfahrungen der Aufklärungzu neuen Formen des kulturellen Gedächtnisses,auch des Mittelalters. Die davon provozierte kulturelle Produktivität ließ Werke der Literatur und der Musik, der Malerei und der Architektur der Moderne entstehen, in denen sich andere Formen der Gegenwart des Mittelalters zeigen, wie zum Beispiel in den Bauten eines Alfred Messel und eines Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. 52 pp. Deutsch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Scientific and technological texts have not played a significant role in modern literary criticism. This applies to Classics, too, despite the fact that a large part of the field's extant texts deal with questions of medicine, mathematics, and natural philosophy. Focusing mostly on medical and mathematical texts, this collection aims at approaching ancient Greek science and its texts from the cross-disciplinary perspective of authorship. Among the questions addressed are: What is a scientific author In what respect does scientific writing differ from 'literary' writing How does the author present himself as an authoritative figure through his text What strategies of trust do these authors employ These and related questions cannot be discussed within the typical boundaries of modern academic disciplines, thus most of the sixteen authors, many of them leading experts in the fields of ancient science, bring a comparative perspective to their subjects. As a result, the collection not only offers a new approach to this vast area of ancient literature, thus effectively discovering new possibilities for literary criticism, it also reflects on our current forms of scientific and scholarly written communication. 512 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The claim that crosslinguistic disparities foster differences in nonlinguistic thought, often referred to as 'linguistic relativity', has for some time been the subject of intense debate. For much of that time the debate was not informed by much experimental work. Recently, however, there has been an explosion of research on linguistic relativity, carried out by numerous scholars interested in the interaction between language and nonlinguistic cognition. This book surveys the rapidly accruing research on this topic, much of it carried out in the last decade. Structured so as to be accessible to students and scholars in linguistics, psychology, and anthropology, it first introduces crucial concepts in the study of language and cognition. It then explores the relevant experimentally oriented research, focusing independently on the evidence for relativistic effects in spatial orientation, temporal perception, number recognition, color discrimination, object/substance categorization, gender construal, as well as other facets of cognition. This is the only book to extensively survey the recent work on linguistic relativity, and should serve as a critical resource for those concerned with the topic. 308 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The phrase 'Daughter of Zion' is in recent Bible translations often rendered 'Daughter Zion'. The discussion behind this change has continued for decades, but lacks proper linguistic footing. Parlance in grammars, dictionaries, commentaries and textbooks is often confusing. The present book seeks to remedy this defect by treating all relevant expressions from a linguistic point of view. To do this, it also discusses the understanding of Hebrew construct phrases, and finds that while there is a morphological category of genitive in Akkadian, Ugaritic and Arabic, Hebrew, Aramaic and Syriac do not display it. The use of this term as a syntactical category is unfortunate, and the term should be avoided in Hebrew grammar. Metaphor theory and the use of irony are also tools in the discussion of the phrases. As a result of the treatment, the author finds that there are some Hebrew construct phrases where nomen regens describes the following nomen rectum, and the description may be metaphorical, in some cases also ironical. This seems to be the case with 'Daughter of Zion' and similar phrases. This understanding calls for a revision of the translation of the phrases, and new translations are suggested.; In der Reihe Beihefte zur Zeitschrift für die alttestamentliche Wissenschaft (BZAW) erscheinen Arbeiten zu sämtlichen Gebieten der alttestamentlichen Wissenschaft. Im Zentrum steht die Hebräische Bibel, ihr Vor- und Nachleben im antiken Judentum sowie ihre vielfache Verzweigung in die benachbarten Kulturen der altorientalischen und hellenistisch-römischen Welt. Die BZAW akzeptiert Manuskriptvorschläge, die einen innovativen und signifikanten Beitrag zu Erforschung des Alten Testaments und seiner Umwelt leisten, sich intensiv mit der bestehenden Forschungsliteratur auseinandersetzen, stringent aufgebaut und flüssig geschrieben sind. 208 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Embeddings of discrete metric spaces into Banach spaces recently became an important tool in computer science and topology. The purpose of the book is to present some of the most important techniques and results, mostly on bilipschitz and coarse embeddings. The topics include: (1) Embeddability of locally finite metric spaces into Banach spaces is finitely determined; (2) Constructions of embeddings; (3) Distortion in terms of Poincaré inequalities; (4) Constructions of families of expanders and of families of graphs with unbounded girth and lower bounds on average degrees; (5) Banach spaces which do not admit coarse embeddings of expanders; (6) Structure of metric spaces which are not coarsely embeddable into a Hilbert space; (7) Applications of Markov chains to embeddability problems; (8) Metric characterizations of properties of Banach spaces; (9) Lipschitz free spaces. Substantial part of the book is devoted to a detailed presentation of relevant results of Banach space theory and graph theory. The final chapter contains a list of open problems. Extensive bibliography is also included. Each chapter, except the open problems chapter, contains exercises and a notes and remarks section containing references, discussion of related results, and suggestions for further reading. The book will help readers to enter and to work in a very rapidly developing area having many important connections with different parts of mathematics and computer science. 384 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This essay collection examines the theory and history of graphic narrative - realized in various different formats, including comic strips, comic books, and graphic novels - as one of the most interesting and versatile forms of storytelling in contemporary media culture. The contributions assembled in this volume test the applicability of narratological concepts to graphic narrative, examine aspects of graphic narrative beyond the 'single work,' consider the development of particular narrative strategies within individual genres, and trace the forms and functions of graphic narrative across cultures. Analyzing a wide range of texts, genres, and narrative strategies from both theoretical and historical perspectives, the international group of scholars gathered here offers state-of-the-art research on graphic narrative in the context of an increasingly postclassical and transmedial narratology.; 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 uses and practices of sign languages are strongly related to scientific research on sign languages and vice versa. Conversely, sign linguistics cannot be separated from Deaf community practices, including practices in education and interpretation. Therefore, the current volume brings together work on sign language interpreting, the use of spoken and sign language with deaf children with cochlear implants and early language development in children exposed to both a spoken and sign language, and reports on recent research on aspects of sign language structure. It also includes papers addressing methodological issues in sign language research. The book presents papers by 'more seasoned' researchers and 'new kids on the block', as well as papers in which the two collaborate. The contributions will be of interest to all those interested in linguistics, sociolinguistics, cultural studies, interpreting and education. It will have particular relevance to those interested in sign linguistics, sociolinguistics of deaf communities, Deaf studies, Deaf culture, sign language interpretation, sign language teaching, and (spoken/signed) bilingualism. Given the scarcity of literature on 'Deaf studies', the book will also appeal widely beyond the traditional academic milieu. As a result, it has relevance for those teaching and learning sign languages, for professional and student interpreters and for teachers of the deaf. 328 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book contributes to the understanding of Dionysos, the Greek god of wine, dancing, theatre and ecstasy, by putting together 30 studies of classical scholars. They combine the analysis of specific instances of particular dimensions of the god in cult, myth, literature and iconography, with general visions of Dionysos in antiquity and modern times. Only from the combination of different perspectives can we grasp the complex personality of Dionysos, and the forms of his presence in different cults, literary genres, and artistic forms, from Mycenaean times to late antiquity. The ways in which Dionysos was experienced may vary in each author, each cult, and each genre in which this god is involved. Therefore, instead of offering a new all-encompassing theory that would immediately become partial, the book narrows the focus on specific aspects of the god. Redefinition does not mean finding (again) the essence of the god, but obtaining a more nuanced knowledge of the ways he was experienced and conceived in antiquity. ; Die Beiträge dieser gesamtaltertumswissenschaftlichen Reihe behandeln hauptsächlich Themen zur Antike aus dem Bereich der Literatur-, Bild-, Medien-, Theater-, Religions- und Kulturwissenschaften. Ein besonderer Schwerpunkt liegt auf der Anwendung moderner Theorien, z. B. auf dem Gebiet der Anthropologie, Performativität und Narrativität, auf dem interdisziplinären Vergleich, auf der mythisch-rituellen und ikonischen Poetik von Texten und bildlichen Darstellungen sowie auf der Rezeption antiker Stoffe in diesem Kontext. 700 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -The papers compiled in the present volume aim at investigating the many fruitful manners in which cognitive linguistics can expand further on cognitive translation studies. Some papers (e.g. Halverson, Muñoz-Martín, Martín de León) take a theoretical stand, since the epistemological and ontological bases of both areas (cognitive linguistics and translation studies) should be known before specific contributions of cognitive linguistic to translation are tackled. Several works in the volume attempt to illustrate how some of the notions imported from cognitive linguistics may contribute to enrich our understanding of the translation process in a general translation problem such as metaphor (e.g. Samaniego), the relationship between form and meaning (e.g. Tabakowska, Rojo and Valenzuela) or cultural aspects (e.g. Bernárdez, Sharifian/Jamarani). Others use translation as an empirical field to test some of the basic assumptions of cognitive linguistics such as frames (e.g. Boas), metonymy (e.g. Brdar/Brdar-Szabó), and lexicalisation patterns (e.g. Ibarretxe-Antuñano/Filipovi ). Finally, another set of papers (e.g. Feist, Hatzidaki) opens up new lines of investigation for experimental research, a very promising area still underdeveloped.De Gruyter Mouton, Genthiner Straße 13, 10785 Berlin 432 pp. Englisch. …
