Bouboulina and the Greek Revolution
Bouboulina and the Greek Revolution: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on the Heroine of 1821 offers a critical look at the life and times of one of the most important figures in modern Greek history, expanding readers' understanding of Bouboulina's continued presence in popular culture and her impact on feminism and diasporic Greek identity.
Bouboulina and the Greek Revolution
Using a variety of methodologies from multi-disciplinary backgrounds, this volume is the first to present an in-depth analysis of the life and times of Laskarina Bouboulina, the legendary heroine of the Greek Revolution and one of the most important figures in modern Greek history, the Mediterranean, and indeed, the world. At the age of fifty and mother to ten children, Bouboulina commanded a fleet of ships from the island of Spetses and became the first female admiral in world naval history. But her success on the battlefield is only part of the story – by considering her three-century impact on feminism, cultural production, and as a touchstone of diasporic Greek identity, the contributors to this volume also expand our understanding of her far-reaching and under-recognized contributions.
Invested Narratives
German economic crises from the past two hundred years have provoked diverse responses from journalists, politicians, scholars, and fiction writers. Among their responses, storylines have developed as proposals for reducing unemployment, improving workplace conditions, and increasing profitability when stock markets tumble, accompanied by inflation, deflation, and overwhelming debt. The contributors to Invested Narratives assess German-language economic crisis narratives from the interdisciplinary perspectives of finance, economics, political science, sociology, history, literature, and cultural studies. They interpret the ways German society has tried to comprehend, recover from, and avoid economic crises and in doing so widen our understanding of German economic debates and their influence on German society and the European Union.
Decadence, Degeneration, and the End
Art and literature during the European fin-de-siècle period often manifested themes of degeneration and decay, both of bodies and civilizations, as well as illness, bizarre sexuality, and general morbidity. This collection explores these topics in relation to artists and writers as diverse as Oscar Wilde, August Strindberg, and Aubrey Beardsley.
Barbarian: Explorations of a Western Concept in Theory, Literature, and the Arts
This two-volume co-authored study explores the history of the concept ‘barbarism’ from the 18th century to the present and illuminates its foundational role in modern European and Western identity. It constitutes an original comparative, interdisciplinary exploration of the concept’s modern European and Western history, with emphasis on the role of literature in the concept’s shifting functions. The study contributes to a historically grounded understanding of this figure’s past and contemporary uses. It combines overviews with detailed analyses of representative works of literature, art, film, philosophy, political and cultural theory, in which “barbarism” figures prominently....
Wilhelm Müller und der Philhellenismus
Wilhelm Müller (1794–1827) zählt zu den bedeutendsten Exponenten des deutschen Philhellenismus. Seinen Zeitgenossen unter dem Spitznamen „Griechen-Müller“ bekannt, verstand er es, mit agitatorischen, landes- und volkskundlichen Texten und Übersetzungen die Begeisterung für den griechischen Freiheitskampf gegen die osmanische Besatzung zu schüren und zugleich gegen das Regime der Restaurationszeit aufzubegehren. Der vorliegende Band untersucht die literarische Produktion des „Griechen-Müller“ im Kontext des deutschen und internationalen Philhellenismus, seine publizistische Arbeit sowie seine internationale Rezeption. Hierbei geht es ebenso um die Bedeutung des Philhellenismus für das Gesamtwerk Müllers wie um die spezifische Leistung Müllers im Rahmen dieses europäischen Projektes.
Anthropogene Klima- und Umweltkrisen
Die Sorge um eine durch anthropogene Eingriffe in die Erdsysteme bedrohte Zukunft gehört zu den wichtigsten politischen und gesellschaftlichen Belangen der Gegenwart. Auch für die Geistes- und Kulturwissenschaften stellen diese Fragen große Herausforderungen dar. Die Beiträger*innen bündeln Ansätze in diesem Feld und präsentieren erste literarische Reaktionen auf anthropogene Umweltveränderungen in der neugriechischen Literatur. Damit liefern sie im breiten Diskurs um Ecocriticism zentrale Perspektiven aus Griechenland, die bislang kaum Beachtung fanden.
Berliner Weltliteraturen
Dieser Band stellt die Intensivierung der kulturpolitischen Aktivitäten und des internationalen literarischen Austausches in und um Berlin in den Jahren unmittelbar nach dem Mauerbau anhand von Fallbeispielen vor. Die 12 Beiträge liefern eine verdichtete Beschreibung jener Phase in der Entwicklung Berlins, in der die geteilte Stadt mit Blick auf die Internationalisierung des Literatur- und Kulturbetriebs eine Vorreiterfunktion übernahm.
Migration and Language Education in Southern Europe
The entry of migrant populations to Europe, and especially to countries of Southern Europe, is expected to drastically change the make-up of state school classes as learners of various ages, ethnic backgrounds, and mother tongues are going to co-exist within the same educational setting. In Greece, in particular, the landscape of education has already started changing as a significant number of immigrant students have joined mainstream classrooms. This volume maps this new educational reality and its challenges, as Greek teachers are required, with very limited training and resources, to address those students’ educational and socio-emotional needs. All chapters are authored by Greek researchers who are actively involved in the study of refugees’ and immigrants’ education, their needs, and their educational, linguistic and political rights. Despite the fact that education for immigrants and refugees has become the focus of much research on a global level, the ongoing rapid rise of immigrant populations in Southern Europe has not been adequately researched. This book consequently meets the need for further research and empirical studies in this field.
