Material Worlds: Interdisciplinary Approaches to Contacts and Exchange in the Ancient Near East
The eleven contributions in this book address the history of contacts and exchanges in the Bronze and Iron Ages within West Asia, extending far beyond the boundaries of the previously defined contact zone of the ‘Ancient Near East’.
Sidelights on Greek Antiquity
Nineteen contributions by eminent scholars cover topics in Greek Epigraphy, Ancient History, Archaeology, and the Historiography of Archaeology. The section on Epigraphy and Ancient History has a particular focus on Attica, whereas material from Eretria, Delphi, the Argolid, Aetolia, Macedonia, Samothrace, and Aphrodisias widens the picture. The section on Archaeology discusses cultural variation as well as matters of cult, myth, and style, especially in Attica, from the Chalcolithic to the Roman period. The final section on the History of Archaeology reviews the early history of archaeological research at sites such as Piraeus, Rhamnous, Marathon, Oropos, Pylos, and Eretria, based on unpublished archival sources as well as on preliminary sketches and architectural drawings by 19th century artists.
Die Aufklärung
Die Aufklärung ist für das Selbstverständnis der liberalen Demokratie zentral. Dieses Buch bietet eine grundlegend neue Erzählung der Aufklärungsgeschichte, die sowohl in berühmte Werke (von Leibniz, Voltaire, Rousseau, Kant oder auch Adam Smith) und klassische Themenfelder (politische Theorie, Theologie, Toleranz) als auch in neue Fragenkomplexe (Gender, Rassismus, Kolonialismus) einführt. Kunst- und ideengeschichtliche Aspekte kommen hierbei ebenso zur Geltung wie Fragen der Politik- und Sozialgeschichte, die die Aufklärung als europäisches wie globales Phänomen fassbar werden lassen. Das Ergebnis ist überraschend: Anstatt die geistige Wiege der säkularen und liberalen Moderne zu sein, stand die Aufklärung in der Kontinuität mit der religiösen mittelalterlichen Gedankenwelt.
El juez legal
La cuestión de una tradición constitucional europea de la garantía al juez le-gal se investiga mediante una comparación histórica de su desarrollo, tanto en el Derecho canónico, como en Francia, Inglaterra y Alemania. Durante la creación del poder papal, el Derecho Canónico desarrolla la consecuencia de nulidad para la sentencia de un juez no competente. El conflicto francés entre el centralismo monárquico y los derechos estamentales de autogestión caracteriza los opuestos de oficio de justicia y mandato, que sigue siendo perceptible en las garantías posteriores a 1789. Contra el absolutismo de los Estuardo en Inglaterra, se formula la primacía del derecho sobre la prerrogativa ...

Peripheries at the Centre
Following the Treaty of Versailles, European nation-states were faced with the challenge of instilling national loyalty in their new borderlands, in which fellow citizens often differed dramatically from one another along religious, linguistic, cultural, or ethnic lines. Peripheries at the Centre compares the experiences of schooling in Upper Silesia in Poland and Eupen, Sankt Vith, and Malmedy in Belgium — border regions detached from the German Empire after the First World War. It demonstrates how newly configured countries envisioned borderland schools and language learning as tools for realizing the imagined peaceful Europe that underscored the political geography of the interwar period.
German and Scandinavian Protestantism 1700-1918
This book is the first history in English of the Lutheran Church in Germany and Scandinavia in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. A period of fundamental and lasting change in the political landscape with the separation of the old twin monarchies of Sweden-Finland and Denmark-Norway in Scandinavia (1808, 1814), and the unification of Germany (1866-71), this was also a time of particular unease and upheaval for the church. Attempts to emulate the spiritual community of the early church, reform of the church establishment, and steps taken to enlighten parishioners were almost always held back by the anomalous structural legacy of the Reformation, tradition, and parish habit, sacred and p...
