Landscapes for Future – Landschaften und sozial-ökologische Transformationen

Weltweite Krisenphänomene wie der Klimawandel, der rapide Schwund von Tier- und Pflanzenarten sowie der Verlust wertvoller Böden verdeutlichen, dass sozial-ökologische Transformationen nötig sind – insbesondere in wohlhabenden Staaten wie Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz. Bei diesen tiefgreifenden Veränderungen können Landschaften eine wichtige Rolle spielen, weil sie sowohl Grundlage als auch Ergebnis unserer Wirtschafts- und Lebensweise sind. Dieses Buch gibt einen umfassenden Überblick über die Zusammenhänge zwischen Landschaftsdenken und sozial-ökologischem Wandel und beantwortet Fragen wie: Welche Vorstellungen von einem transformativen Landschaftswandel gibt es? Wie...

Hybrid California

Die Geschichte Kaliforniens und dessen räumliche Strukturierung lassen sich als Entstehung, Zurückweisung, Forcierung und Nutzung von Hybridisierungen lesen. Dabei dienen diese Hybridisierungen als Grundlage ästhetischer Betrachtungen – und wie in diesem Buch – ästhetischer Reflexionen. Entsprechend treffen hier theoretische Überlegungen auf empirische Zugänge zu Hybridisierungen von Stadt und Land, Natur und Kultur, Vergangenheit und Gegenwart, Beharrung und Wandel. Daneben werden auch die sozialen wie ökologischen Folgen und Nebenfolgen der materiellen Manifestierung landschaftsästhetischer Stereotype beleuchtet, um so Facetten des ,Hybrid California‘ zu konturieren. Der Inha...

The Vienna School of Art History

  • Categories: Art

Matthew Rampley’s The Vienna School of Art History is the first book in over seventy-five years to study in depth and in context the practices of art history from 1847, the year the first teaching position in the discipline was created, to 1918, the collapse of Austria-Hungary. It traces the emergence of art history as a discipline, the establishment of norms of scholarly inquiry, and the involvement of art historians in wider debates about the cultural and political identity of the monarchy. The so-called Vienna School plays the central role in the study, but Rampley also examines the formation of art history elsewhere in Austria-Hungary. Located in the Habsburg imperial capital, Vienna a...

Týnský kostel a architektura poděbradské doby

  • Categories: Art

Kostel Panny Marie před Týnem, od 14. století hlavní farní chrám Starého Města, po husitských válkách hlavní kostel utrakvistické církve v Čechách a na Moravě a nepřehlédnutelná dominanta historického jádra Prahy, představuje po Svatovítské katedrále druhou nejvýznamnější pražskou středověkou sakrální stavbu. V syntézách dějin české gotické architektury bývá řazen na přední místo ve vývoji architektury lucemburské doby a zároveň je dokončení kostela po husitské revoluci převážně prezentováno jako nejdůležitější stavba doby Jiřího z Poděbrad. Při bližším pohledu se však představy mnohých autorů ohledně určení předhusitských a pohusitských partií kostela zásadně různí, z čehož plynou závažné otázky pro pochopení architektury poděbradské doby. K podrobnějšímu zpracování architektury poděbradské doby se alespoň částečně snaží přispět právě předkládaná kniha o pozdně gotické dostavbě staroměstského kostela Panny Marie před Týnem, která shrnuje dlouholetý výzkum stavby.

International Borrowing by Developing Countries analyzes the various aspects of developing-country debt. The title covers various concepts such as theory of borrowing, official and private debt, petrofund recycling, and debt relief. The text first deals with role of external capital and debt in economic development, and then proceeds to examining the historical debt experience of the now-creditor countries. Next, the selection tackles the official bilateral and multilateral debt along with its patterns, magnitude, and the procedures and experience of official debt rescheduling. The text also analyzes the private Eurocurrency debt and the official positions on debt relief and reviews proposals for recycling petrofunds and providing new sources of financing. The last part deals with the political factors that will affect external debt, as well as recommendations for future policy. The book will be of great interest to economists, political scientists, game theorists, and sociologists.
