Religious Actors and Conflict Transformation in Southeast Asia
Drawing on a rich body of multimethod field research, this book examines the ways in which Indonesian and Philippine religious actors have fostered conflict resolution and under what conditions these efforts have been met with success or limited success. The book addresses two central questions: In what ways, and to what extent, have post-conflict peacebuilding activities of Christian churches contributed to conflict transformation in Mindanao (Philippines) and Maluku (Indonesia)? And to what extent have these church-based efforts been affected by specific economic, political, or social contexts? Based on extensive fieldwork, the study operates with a nested, multi-dimensional, and multi-lay...
High As the Waters Rise
This "gorgeously written" National Book Award finalist is a dazzling, heart-rending story of an oil rig worker whose closest friend goes missing, plunging him into isolation and forcing him to confront his past (NPR, One of the Best Books of the Year). One night aboard an oil drilling platform in the Atlantic, Waclaw returns to his cabin to find that his bunkmate and companion, Mátyás, has gone missing. A search of the rig confirms his fear that Mátyás has fallen into the sea. Grief-stricken, he embarks on an epic emotional and physical journey that takes him to Morocco, to Budapest and Mátyás's hometown in Hungary, to Malta, Italy, and finally to the mining town of his childhood in Ge...
Merzkunst zwischen System und Chaos
Die Merzkunst von Kurt Schwitters gründet auf einem Widerspruch: Sie erscheint als geschlossenes, hochgradig strukturiertes Ganzes, offenbart aber zugleich eine Dynamik, welche die Grenzen zwischen den Künsten sowie zwischen Kunst und Nichtkunst übertritt. Diesen zuvor nie systematisch aufgelösten Gegensatz nimmt Antje Wulff auf Basis der transdisziplinären Systemtheorie in den Blick. Ihre Analyse fokussiert auf das komplexe Wechselspiel von Formbildung und Formauflösung in der Merzkunst sowie ihrer Rezeption. Damit leistet sie eine Neuperspektivierung, die das enorme Erkenntnispotenzial von Merz ebenso belegt wie die Fruchtbarkeit der Systemtheorie für die Geisteswissenschaften.
Self Portrait in Green
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.
