Truth Be Told
Chastity Bono is now Chaz. Her decision to “become” a man made headlines around the world, but she is not alone. Transgender men and women frequently appear on television talk shows and reality programs to share their stories. By doing so, they inevitably get the attention they seek, but not necessarily the kind of attention they want. While some come forth in an effort to promote tolerance, acceptance and understanding in mainstream society, their decision to live as—or in some cases have surgery to become—the opposite gender often sparks curiosity and more visceral reactions born out of ignorance. But this is the other side of the story. Truth Be Told: Adam Becomes Audrey is a tragedy, a comedy, and a love story. It is my story. In vivid detail, I recall how I met, fell in love with, and married the man of my dreams, only to find that he self-identified as and wanted to become a woman. Read what happened after I learned the truth.
Die Philosophie der russischen Revolution
Die russische Revolution von 1917 prägte die europäische politische Ordnung seit Beginn des 'kurzen' 20. Jahrhunderts und ist als dessen zentrales Ereignis gefeiert und verdammt worden. Sie wurde nicht nur als ein Ereignis der Weltgeschichte, sondern auch als Idee begriffen, die den intellektuellen Kosmos der Moderne neu strukturiert hat. Eine 'Philosophie der Revolution' ist entstanden, die den Sinn dieses Ereignisses zu bestimmen suchte, sei es als 'Sprung ins Reich der Freiheit' oder als 'Weg in die Knechtschaft'. Der zeitliche Abstand von einem Jahrhundert wird im vorliegenden Band als Anlass genommen, das Verhältnis von russischer Revolution und Philosophie einer komplexen Analyse zu unterziehen. Die Autoren befassen sich sowohl mit zeitgenössischen Deutungen der Revolution, als auch mit deren internationaler Wahrnehmung durch europäische Intellektuelle. Sie diskutieren zudem die Bedeutung der Revolution für das politische und kulturelle Selbstverständnis des heutigen Russland.

Diversity and Local Contexts
In this book, an international team of urban anthropologists, sociologists, and ethnographers argue that politics, intergroup relations, and development in cities cannot be understood without reference to the local contexts that endow each city with specific characteristics. They also show how local urban economic, social, and cultural lives are influenced by powerful external forces. In these 'glocal' regards, the authors demonstrate how city images, borders, and social processes such as migration, tourism, and local development must be seen in broader contexts. The contributors examine them through the lenses of foreign investment, migration, and history. The volume takes an interdisciplinary approach and employs a range of theoretical perspectives and methodological approaches. Contributors’ multidisciplinary expertise and insights about spaces and places are applied to nine unique cities across three continents.
Antigone's Ghosts
Sophocles' play Antigone is a starting point for understanding the problems of human societies, families, and individuals caught up in the aftermath of mass violence.

Roman Religion in the Danubian Provinces
The Danubian provinces represent one of the largest macro-units within the Roman Empire, with a large and rich heritage of Roman material evidence. Although the notion itself is a modern 18th-century creation, this region represents a unique area, where the dominant, pre-Roman cultures (Celtic, Illyrian, Hellenistic, Thracian) are interconnected within the new administrative, economic and cultural units of Roman cities, provinces and extra-provincial networks. This book presents the material evidence of Roman religion in the Danubian provinces through a new, paradigmatic methodology, focusing not only on the traditional urban and provincial units of the Roman Empire, but on a new space taxon...
