Seit Beginn des russischen Angriffskrieges auf die Ukraine blicken Medien und Politik verstärkt auf das östliche Europa. Die Öffentlichkeit verlangt nach Expertise - und die etablierten Osteuropastudien stellen sich neu auf. Doch womit beschäftigt sich die kommende Generation? Welche Länder, Themen und Disziplinen interessieren die Osteuropaexpert*innen von morgen? Die Beiträger*innen umreißen ein Panorama junger Perspektiven auf das Forschungsfeld und geben einen Überblick über die zukünftigen Schwerpunkte einer hochaktuellen Disziplin.

Ding und Bild sind Schlüsselbegriffe der romantischen Poetik und Philosophie. Das hat auch die jüngste kultur- und literaturwissenschaftliche Romantikforschung erkannt. Allerdings untersucht sie Dinglichkeit und Bildlichkeit bislang als getrennte Problemfelder: Bildlichkeit scheint vorwiegend als Synonym für die Kraft der Imagination in der Frühphase der Romantik von Bedeutung zu sein, während Dinglichkeit als Indikator für das Verhältnis zum Realismus in der Spätphase der Romantik relevant ist. Ein Blick in die Texte der Romantik zeigt allerdings, dass beide Schlüsselbegriffe unabhängig von ihrer Phasenzuordnung zusammenhängen und dass die Übergänge von Dingen und Bildern häufig fließend gestaltet sind. Der Band untersucht das produktive Spannungsverhältnis dieser beiden Konzepte und ihre Vermischungen vor dem Hintergrund der historischen und systematischen Zusammenhänge der europäischen Romantik. Er versammelt Beiträge von Literatur-, Kultur- und Kunstwissenschaftler*innen und nimmt Bezüge zu anderen Wissensfeldern wie der Ökonomie, Philosophie, Physik oder Religion in den Blick.

WITH A NEW AFTERWORD ON CORONAVIRUS As globalization spreads and as we destroy the ancient ecosystems, we encounter strange and dangerous infections that originate in animals but that can be transmitted to humans. Diseases that were contained are being set free and the results are potentially catastrophic. In a journey that takes him from southern China to the Congo, from Bangladesh to Australia, David Quammen tracks these infections to their source, and asks what we can do to prevent some new pandemic spreading across the face of the earth. As we continue to feel the global impact of Covid-19, discover the book that predicted this viral disaster and the science that could stop the next one in its tracks.

Antonio Giangrande, orgoglioso di essere diverso. ODIO OSTENTAZIONE, IMPOSIZIONE E MENZOGNA. Si nasce senza volerlo. Si muore senza volerlo. Si vive una vita di prese per il culo. Tu esisti se la tv ti considera. La Tv esiste se tu la guardi. I Fatti son fatti oggettivi naturali e rimangono tali. Le Opinioni sono atti soggettivi cangianti. Le opinioni se sono oggetto di discussione ed approfondimento, diventano testimonianze. Ergo: Fatti. Con me le Opinioni cangianti e contrapposte diventano fatti. Con me la Cronaca diventa Storia. Noi siamo quello che altri hanno voluto che diventassimo. Facciamo in modo che diventiamo quello che noi avremmo (rafforzativo di saremmo) voluto diventare. Rappresentare con verità storica, anche scomoda ai potenti di turno, la realtà contemporanea, rapportandola al passato e proiettandola al futuro. Per non reiterare vecchi errori. Perché la massa dimentica o non conosce. Denuncio i difetti e caldeggio i pregi italici. Perché non abbiamo orgoglio e

Attempting to understand the catalogue of horrors that has characterized much of twentieth-century history, Western scholars generally distinguish between violent revolutions of the "right" and the "left". Fascist regimes are assigned to the evil right, Marxist-Leninist regimes to the benign left. But this distinction has left us without a coherent understanding of the revolutionary history of the twentieth century, contends A. James Gregor in this insightful book. He traces the evolution of Marxist theory from the 1920s through the 1990s and argues that the ideology of Marxism-Leninism devolved into fascism. Fascist regimes and Communist regimes -- both anti-democratic ideocracies -- are fa...
