Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The book offers insight into different relevant issues related to recent developments in the political and media space in Europe. The authors are interested in how these phenomena affect the future of the democratic system and the general development of the European Union. The special focus is on populism as one of the most discussed political phenomena in recent years. The assumption is that the rise of populism in Europe is a reaction to the anomalies and consequences of globalisation as well as a symptom of the crisis of established politics. Furthermore, the spread of populist messages is related to the profound change the media space is facing, particularly with the crisis of traditional media. Populists utilise different media channels that often serve to spread disinformation. Strengthening European democracy requires improving institutional effectiveness, responsiveness and accountability toward the citizenry, as well as building a European identity. 216 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book concentrates on two major modern Homeric 'wanderings', stemming from two radically different geo-timeframes which were never previously juxtaposed in such a radical dialectical manner: Chichikov's wanderings around Rus in Gogol's 'Dead Souls', and Bloom's one-day Dublin path in Joyce's 'Ulysses'. Challenging this oxymoronic interaction, the author, exploiting an interdisciplinary approach interposes these two main meanderings with two other odysseys as a sub-narrative: Nikolai's meanderings in Bely's 'Petersburg' and the Joad family's along the 66 Highway in Steinbeck's 'The Grapes of Wrath'. This shows how authors in different times and geo hubs, having different ideologies, appertaining to different classes and societies are dealing with the same problems, having parallel exciting 'answers' and harbouring a strange form of humour. 236 pp. Englisch. …

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -'In a world where the complexity of our cultural and everyday encounters far exceeds the narrow confines of accepted political identity and debate, the concept of transculturality is an absolute necessity. The editor has convened an exciting range of authors to explore and interrogate its challenges and promise.'- Prof. Nick Couldry, London School of Economics and Political Science'This exploration of the 'transcultural' and its cognates is most welcome for breaking boundaries, dichotomies and binary oppositions in Anglophone cultural and literary studies. It's a collection that offers fresh and stimulating approaches to our contemporary and global societies, transcending concepts of nationality, identity and cultural homogenization.' - Prof. Fernando Galván, U. of AlcaláA flexible notion employed in nuanced ways by different disciplines, the transcultural is largely invoked to allude to cultural contact processes. As a theoretical construct, an analytical perspective or a form of identity construction, the idea of the transcultural has become most relevant for making sense of the present-day landscape, characterized by global mobility and interconnectedness, and involving cultural fusion phenomena.In a selection of cultural and literary case studies, this volume explores the articulation of the transcultural through the examination of diverse cultural products and texts across the Anglophone world in the contemporary period. The analyses of fiction, poetry, popular culture and media in the collection illuminate the crucial role of contact zones and cultural interaction across the Anglosphere in the global age. 214 pp. Englisch.…

Neuware -Mad Speculations: Anne Carson's Messiahs and the Canadian Unconscious gives us a new way of looking at Canadian literature and its unconscious relation to Canadian cultural, political and historical landscapes. Written in accessible language, geared to appeal to undergrad and emeritus alike, it makes intriguing observations and sometimes provocative speculations about what Carson's mad messiahs can say about the Canadian unconscious.Author Concetta Principe sidesteps the usual interest in Carson's postmodern experiments to focus on her engagement with religion and, specifically, the iconic saviour of the past: the messiah. But Carson's messiah is atypical, a figure of salvation grafted to the Jamesonian revolutionary schizophrenic, its task to deconstruct grand narratives. Do her messiahs do that Taking a psychoanalytic approach to understanding the function of the messiah in Carson's texts, Mad Speculations identifies Carson's very conscious commitment to undermining mental health stigmas. Her messiahs show us an unconscious engagement with Canadian myths as rooted in historical moments such as the Battle of the Plains of Abraham and the trial of Louis Riel. This book also ponders how Carson's work unconsciously conserves that Canadian cultural tendency to centre the story around the white Anglo-Protestant settler situated in a literary nowhere.This is the first volume in Reimagining Canada, a new series. 104 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The book presents Polish-Jewish cultural contacts in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries from an interdisciplinary perspective. Using methods from Jewish, cultural, and literary studies, Prokop-Janiec takes a topographical approach by focusing on selected places, institutional spaces, and texts from the borderland.Her reflection begins from changes in the understanding of the borderland phenomenon that happened in recent decades. Transformations within anthropology and the development of a new conceptual framework in Jewish cultural studies provide an opportunity for reinterpreting modern multilingual Jewish culture and its relationships with non-Jewish cultures. The monograph covers rarely considered areas of literature, such as mass-circulated Polish-Jewish newspapers, Polish-Jewish serialized novels, textbooks, and children's literature. Transformations within anthropology and the development of a new conceptual framework in Jewish cultural studies provide an opportunity for reinterpreting modern multilingual Jewish culture and its relationships with non-Jewish cultures.'A fundamental and essential work for anyone interested in this subject' - Prof. S¿awomir Bury¿a, University of Warsaw 450 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Diese Arbeit untersucht zum einen, inwiefern ein auf die Grundrechte gestütztes Verlangen nach mehr Klimaschutz dogmatisch verortet werden kann. Zum anderen wird geprüft, inwieweit das BVerfG dem Gesetzgeber Vorgaben in Bezug auf die nationale Treibhausgasreduktion machen kann. Die Autorin geht dabei auf den Klimabeschluss aus dem Jahr 2021 ein, in dem das BVerfG die Figur der 'intertemporalen Freiheitssicherung' schuf. Kritisch betrachtet wird dabei der Gedanke einer gerechten Verteilung der Freiheitseinschränkungen über die Zeit sowie vor allem dessen dogmatische Verankerung. Im weiteren Verlauf der Studie wird die gerichtliche Kontrolldichte des BVerfG in Bezug auf den Bereich des Klimaschutzes beleuchtet. Unter Berücksichtigung des Grundsatzes der Gewaltenteilung stellt sich die Frage, ob das BVerfG - entsprechend einem Urteil des niederländischen Hoge Raad aus dem Jahr 2019 - den Gesetzgeber zu einem konkreten Treibhausgasreduktionszwischenziel verpflichten könnte.; Dissertationsschrift 298 pp. Deutsch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -At a critical juncture when Earth faces unprecedented ecological challenges, a fundamental reconceptualization of environmental protection has emerged: the Rights of Nature. This book examines the philosophical evolution and practical implementation of nature's rights across three dimensions. The analysis traces how religious doctrines, philosophical traditions, and economic systems have reinforced anthropocentric approaches to environmental protection. It explores the theoretical foundations of nature's rights, integrating classical critique with contemporary environmental ethics. It then analyzes how these rights can be recognized within international legal frameworks. Through examination of judicial precedents, constitutional innovations, and international instruments, this book illuminates pathways toward protecting the inherent rights of natural entities. The approach bridges theoretical discourse and practical implementation, demonstrating how recognizing nature's rights represents a fundamental transformation in the relationship between human and nonhuman nature.GPSR Kontakt, Juan Ignacio Luca de Tena, 15, 28027 Madrid 118 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This volume explores the relationship between democracy, secrecy, and transparency in contemporary English literature. It focuses on how fiction engages with the tension between secrecy and disclosure, central to debates about freedom in information societies. Drawing on theorists like Derrida, Birchall, Horn, and Han, among others, the essays examine secrecy as a form of resistance against hegemonic transparency, framing it as a political act of dissent. Scholars on Secrecy Studies argue that secrecy challenges dominant ideologies and creates space for contestation, rather than aligning with oppressive systems. Literature is positioned as an ideal realm to articulate these ideas, showcasing how secrecy functions both thematically and formally. On one level, literature reflects dissidence, freedom of expression, and censorship; on another, it underscores the impossibility of full disclosure, with texts retaining interpretive openness. This collection analyzes how secrecy operates as a structuring device, shaping narrative form, and explores its connections to resistance, democracy, and transparency in cultural and political contexts.The chapter 'Posthumanism, Secrecy, and Transparency: From Jennifer Egan's 'Black Box' (2012) to 'Lulu the Spy, 2032' in The Candy House' by Sonia Baelo-Allué is a Gold Open Access chapter with a CC-BY 4.0 licence.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -On June 24, 2022, the United States Supreme Court issued its landmark decision in the case of Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization which held that the Constitution does not confer the right to an abortion and that the right to regulate abortion was a state legislative and congressional matter. The Dobbs ruling overturned the previous landmark decisions of Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey and marked the first time that the Supreme Court had rolled back a civil right. What has emerged in the aftermath of Dobbs is a clash of sexual social contracts that revolve around a single question: Does a person with a uterus have the natural right to consent to be pregnant and give birth How this question is answered has created an ideological spectrum that occupies the intersection of law, politics, morality, theology, and sex education. This book seeks to explore this intersection from a curriculum theory perspective.GPSR Kontakt, Juan Ignacio Luca de Tena, 15, 28027 Madrid 176 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -In this timely book, the author explores new ways of reading Hemingway's work, considering nature, gender and American identity. Through forensic analysis of Hemingway's fiction, the author traces his early experiences of post-frontier America and the decline of the American primitive. He shows how, based on actual experience, Hemingway's unique brand of primitivism later influences his travels in both Spain and Africa. Each source of primal inspiration: the American Indian, the Spanish corrida and the African safari influences the other in a tripartite primitivism. By illuminating Hemingway's quest for primal authenticity, whereby the Other as 'savage' is negated by his nuanced understanding of traditions, the author shows how Hemingway's depictions empower women, challenge white male superiority, and privilege nature. Hemingway's transatlantic and transcontinental quest for authentic primitivism is also a transnational and transcultural quest, an attempt to understand a more complex version of history.GPSR Kontakt, Juan Ignacio Luca de Tena, 15, 28027 Madrid 278 pp. Englisch.…

Neuware -This collective volume investigates the multi-scalar and international manifestations of planning models, projects and policies from the 1930s onwards. The publication aims to delineate the notion of welfare planning and situate its historical emergence in its application to social, environmental and spatial policies. Taking a global perspective - including study cases from France, Netherlands, Denmark, Sri Lanka, the USSR and the USA - the book interrogates how physical design played an essential role in social and economic modernization by way of state-market balance, from liberal to socialist systems. The articles examine how planning policies addressed well-being and living standards as devices to shape a welfare society. The authors gather planning, social and urban historians from France, Denmark and Netherlands to offer new insights into transnational research in architectural and urban welfare studies.Open Access ChaptersThe Introduction, Chapter 5, Chapter 6, and Chapter 8 are available as Open Access.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -Finding the Beautiful Path: On Blackness, Multidimensionality, and Radical becoming is memoir, which is a story of resistance, healing, and most of all love. Drawing on my lived experience and scholarly journey-from the streets of Richmond to the halls of UC Berkeley-I offer a deeply personal meditation on what it means to be Black, whole, and free in a world hellbent on your erasure. This is not just theory; it's testimony. It's not just critique; it's love. Through the lenses of Critical Race Theory, trauma studies, and radical love, I trace the ways Blackness has been flattened, feared, and criminalized-while affirming Black life in its full, multidimensional radiance. This book is an offering-a radical invitation to re-member us and imagine otherwise. Because we are not nouns to be defined by trauma; we are verbs. We are movement. We are always becoming. This is the realest work I've ever written. Not because I had to-but because I needed to. Because finding the beautiful path is not just possible-it's urgent. And it begins with telling the truth.Jeremiah Sims' 'Beautiful Path' begins at the intersection of autoethnography and critical race theory where 'Blackness, Multidimensionality, and Radical Becoming' collide with racism and anti-blackness. But the wounds and scars of this collision, as Dr. Sims so eloquently reveals, can ultimately heal. Autoethnography uses self-reflection and analysis of personal experiences to explore and explain larger cultural, political, social, and historical issues. Jeremiah's cogent, compelling narratives of his experiences as a Black man, husband, father, friend, colleague, and Christian on the path to Radical Love and Becoming critically counternarratives and practices of white supremacy that only perpetuate hate and fear. -Jabari Mahiri, Ph.D., Professor of Education, UC Berkeley and Faculty Director of the Leadership ProgramsLang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 344 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -'The author's remarkably perceptive analysis of the complex, demanding story 'Here and There' is a true tour de force: first, it carefully disentangles the hierarchically organized worlds and narrative levels, then it masterfully weaves them back together like a skilled prestidigitator.'- Dr. hab. Urszula Terentowicz-Fotyga'With commendable insight and rigor, the author not only delivers a detailed analysis of spatial modeling techniques, conducted using carefully selected research tools and illustrative story examples, but also illuminates their functions and situates them within a rich literary and social context.'- Dr. hab. Grzegorz Maziarczyk, prof. KULThis book examines David Foster Wallace's short stories through the lens of spatiality, which it identifies as their semantic core. The analysis focuses on vertical and horizontal segmentation, functional zones, boundaries, strange loops, tangled hierarchies of narrative levels, and multimodality. It demonstrates how these elements evoke the sense of alienation and existential unease that pervade Wallace's fiction, while also enabling transformative reader participation. Through close readings, this volume identifies recurring spatial modeling techniques and shows how Wallace integrates theoretical discourses, especially mathematics, to create fiction that transcends postmodernist limitations and allows readers to co-create and experience complex cognitive patterns rather than merely understand or imagine them.GPSR Kontakt, Harvestehuder Weg 42, 20149 Hamburg 210 pp. Englisch. …

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -Legal culture has in recent years generated a lively scholarly discourse. This ranges from theoretical attempts to conceptualise and categorise legal cultures, to empirical efforts to measure it. Central and Eastern Europe presents a unique case study: shared experience of empires, of socialism, and a future in the EU, as well as life on the periphery bind the region together. At the same time, we are seeing a resurgence of the concepts of national legal and constitutional identities. These emphasise national characteristics and interests in the face of an ever-closer integration. Appropriately, this volume brings together scholars from different backgrounds to shed light on these issues using a range of different foci and methodologies.GPSR Kontakt, Harvestehuder Weg 42, 20149 Hamburg 120 pp. Englisch.…

Maher makes a compelling case for the continuing importance of Sulivan's writings in challenging times and illuminates crucial and often neglected intersections between faith and fiction. A book to cherish. - Michael Cronin (Trinity College Dublin) Thanks to Eamon Maher's tireless work, Sulivan's output is now reaching the wider audience in the Anglo-Saxon world it has always deserved. Sulivan's depiction of the margins and the marginalised shows us that this is precisely where hope and salvation are often most likely to be found - a message that finds a particular resonance in our increasingly troubled world. - Grace Neville, Professor Emerita of French (UCC) This splendid book fills out much of Sulivan's extraordinary life, and those unconventional writings that are both penetrating and disturbing. Certainly for those of us who may have difficulty reading Sulivan in French, The Prophetic Voice is of particular benefit and I warmly commend it to Sulivan aficionados and newcomers alike. - Richard Clarke, retired Archbishop of Armagh and Primate of All Ireland The Prophetic Voice reappraises the French priest-writer Jean Sulivan's (1913-1980) relevance as a prophetic voice in France and Ireland at the present moment in time. Sulivan was a well-known and award-winning writer in the 1960s and 70s in France. Along with comparing him to some of the main exponents of the Catholic Novel in France - Mauriac and Bernanos - Maher also draws insightful parallels between Sulivan's portrayal of Catholicism and that of Irish priest-writers such as Canon Sheehan, William King and Tony Flannery, and contemporary figures such as John McGahern and Colum McCann.GPSR Kontakt, Juan Ignacio Luca de Tena, 15, 28027 Madrid 274 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -Since its clear formalization in the 14th century by the Orthodox theologian Gregory Palamas, the assertion of a 'real' distinction in God between essence and uncreated energies has become the major point of conflict between Western and Eastern Christian theologies, to the point that nowadays even the notorious Filioque controversy tends to be seen as a theological consequence of this problem. The innovative approach of this book on the Palamite controversy abandons the traditional 'ontological' contraposition based on the (Eastern) defense or (Western) rejection of the aforementioned 'real' distinction, and moves to epistemological terrain, taking the logical notion of 'antinomy', in its vital connection with theological apophaticism, as the formal touchstone to discern the effective continuity (or discontinuity) between Palamas' thought and its patristic sources.GPSR Kontakt, Harvestehuder Weg 42, 20149 Hamburg 300 pp. Englisch.…

With a robust biblical framework, author Narelle Coetzee offers a working definition of wilderness and analyzes the geographical elements that shape these theophanic moments. She reveals how Yahweh's wilderness appearances underscore themes of intimacy, holiness, creativity, riskiness, and transformative communication. Each wilderness encounter reveals a God who is both wonder-filled and wild.The book invites readers to reconsider the relationship between geography and spirituality, offering theological insights into why Yahweh reveals himself in unexpected places. 216 pp. Englisch.…

Neuware -This book provides a thorough interpretation of Raymond Aron's political sociology of industrial societies from the perspective of contemporary political science. However, the book is not only aimed at specialists or advanced students of political science, but appeals to a much wider range of cultivated readers. Particular attention is paid to those issues that have been subject to conflicting interpretations, such as his relationship to the so-called convergence theory, or how he understood the end of the ideological age, what his relationship to European integration was, or to what extent he was influenced by Carl Schmitt. More than 40 years have passed since Aron's death (1983). The author therefore explains the extent to which more recent scholars such as Giovanni Sartori, François Furet, Leszek Köakowski, Martin Malia and Alain Besançon have contributed to or continued to analyse the issues that Raymond Aron was so concerned with.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 254 pp. Englisch.…
