Peace Journey
He disconnects the electricity to his residence and brings in camels to share his living space. He burns his belongings. He treks thousands of kilometers. He observes silence for days on. He wears coarse cotton. He talks for hours on peace. He does it all for a cause. And for Salik, every action has a reason and an effect. Give him a syringe, and he will draw out his own blood, splash it on the soil, and pay obeisance to the earth that molded him. Julius Salik has done it. Nobel Peace Prize nominee and former federal minister of Pakistan, Julius Salik shares his life story and mission of world peace in Peace Journey.
(Re)constructing Armenia in Lebanon and Syria
For almost nine decades, since their mass-resettlement to the Levant in the wake of the Genocide and First World War, the Armenian communities of Lebanon and Syria appear to have successfully maintained a distinct identity as an ethno-culturally diverse group, in spite of representing a small non-Arab and Christian minority within a very different, mostly Arab and Muslim environment. The author shows that, while in Lebanon the state has facilitated the development of an extensive and effective system of Armenian ethno-cultural preservation, in Syria the emergence of centralizing, authoritarian regimes in the 1950s and 1960s has severely damaged the autonomy and cultural diversity of the Arme...

Intim und respektabel
Die Frauenbewegung um 1900 war nicht nur ein politischer Zusammenschluss, sondern auch zentraler Ort der Vergemeinschaftung von Frauen. Ob sich Aktivistinnen im Frauenklub verabredeten, sich auf Kongressen zu Hunderten trafen oder in einer Damenwohnung das tägliche Leben miteinander teilten – die Bewegung ermöglichte vielfältige, intime Beziehungen und Praxen zwischen Frauen. Für die Deutung dieser Verhältnisse war die Kategorie der Respektabilität wesentlich wichtiger als die Frage nach womöglich praktizierten sexuellen Beziehungen. Die um 1900 popularisierte Unterscheidung zwischen Homo- und Heterosexualität perspektivierte diese Lebensmodelle neu. Elisa Heinrich fragt in ihrer Studie nach den Aushandlungsprozessen der Akteurinnen und beleuchtet Bedingungen und Folgen dieses Übergangs.
Tackling Trident
"Tackling Trident is about two unique academic conferences in which an international group of academics, while discussing scientific conference papers, simultaneously blockaded Faslane Naval Base, home of the UKʼs Trident system of nuclear weapons of mass-destruction, in Scotland, in January and June 2007. This book presents the academics that took part in the innovative ʻAcademic Conference Blockadesʼ, the conference papers that outlines the scientific rational behind their nuclear resistance, and the year long campaign Faslane 365 in which this ʻcritique in actionʼ occurred. Tackling Trident is a book written by engaged academics that tackles nuclear weapon issues, Trident, academic responsibility, and possibilities for academic, personal and social change. This book is a fundamental challenge to the suggested scientific legitimacy of nuclear weapon ʼdefenceʼ, and the suggested political and moral ʼneutralityʼ of academia." -- Back cover.

Übersehene Kinder
Rund 30 Töchter zwischen 19 und 62 Jahren beschreiben ihr Leben, das durch ihre Mütter, die an der Borderline-Persönlichkeitsstörung erkrankt sind, wesentlich geprägt wurde.

Diese, von ihnen unbearbeiteten, Traumata haben Auswirkungen auf ihr eigenes Leben und das ihrer Kinder und Enkelkinder. In der Ge...
Outrage
Whether spurred by religious images or academic history books, hardly a day goes by in South Asia without an incident or court case occurring as a result of hurt religious feelings. The sharp rise in blasphemy accusations over the past few decades calls for an investigation into why offence politics has become so pronounced, and why it is observable across religious and political differences. Outrage offers an interdisciplinary study of this growing trend. Bringing together researchers in Anthropology, Religious Studies, Languages, South Asia Studies and History, all with rich experience in the variegated ways in which religion and politics intersect in this region, the volume presents a fin...
