Hamann and the Tradition
Recent years have witnessed a resurgence of scholarly interest in the work of Johann Georg Hamann (1730–1788), across disciplines. New translations of work by and about Hamann are appearing, as are a number of books and articles on Hamann’s aesthetics, theories of language and sexuality, and unique place in Enlightenment and counter-Enlightenment thought. Edited by Lisa Marie Anderson, Hamann and the Tradition gathers established and emerging scholars to examine the full range of Hamann’s impact—be it on German Romanticism or on the very practice of theology. Of particular interest to those not familiar with Hamann will be a chapter devoted to examining—or in some cases, placing—Hamann in dialogue with other important thinkers, such as Socrates, David Hume, Friedrich Nietzsche, Martin Buber, Franz Rosenzweig, and Ludwig Wittgenstein.

FILM-KONZEPTE 73 - Luis Trenker
Luis Trenkers Medienkarriere reicht vom Schauspieler und Filmemacher zum Filmproduzenten und Medienstrategen, vom Stummfilm und Weimarer Kino bis zum Nachkriegskino und Fernsehen. Seine alpinistische Körper-Performance verhalf ihm zu seinem Debüt im Bergfilm. Als Schauspieler, Regisseur, Drehbuchautor und Produzent konnte sich Trenker ab 1931 in Form von teils mehrsprachig produzierten Spielfilmen einen Namen machen. Dank seines Gespürs für die ästhetischen und performativen Anforderungen der jungen Fernsehlandschaft der Nachkriegszeit gelang ihm nach 1945, trotz seiner Involvierung in die Medienlandschaft des deutschen und italienischen Faschismus, ein mediales Comeback. Die (Dis-)kontinuitäten in Trenkers Werk werden in diesem Band in Form von sechs Beiträgen untersucht: Mit den Filmen Les Chevaliers De La Montagne (Der Sohn der weissen Berge, 1930), Der Rebell (1932), Il Prigioniero Della Montagna (Flucht in die Dolomiten, 1955) und den TV-Serien "Luis Trenker erzählt" (1959–1973) und "Luftsprünge" (1969–1970) widmen wir uns sowohl Klassikern als auch weniger beleuchteten Produktionen.
Peak Pursuits
An interdisciplinary cultural history of exploration and mountaineering in the nineteenth century European forays to mountain summits began in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries with the search for plants and minerals and the study of geology and glaciers. Yet scientists were soon captivated by the enterprise of climbing itself, enthralled with the views and the prospect of “conquering” alpine summits. Inspired by Romantic notions of nature, early mountaineers idealized their endeavors as sublime experiences, all the while deliberately measuring what they saw. As increased leisure time and advances in infrastructure and equipment opened up once formidable mountain regions to those seeking adventure and sport, new models of masculinity emerged that were fraught with tensions. This book examines how written and artistic depictions of nineteenth-century exploration and mountaineering in the Andes, the Alps, and the Sierra Nevada shaped cultural understandings of nature and wilderness in the Anthropocene.

Dance of the Furies
By training his eye on the ways that people outside the halls of power reacted to the rapid onset and escalation of the fighting in 1914, Neiberg dispels the notion that Europeans were rabid nationalists intent on mass slaughter. He reveals instead a complex set of allegiances that cut across national boundaries.
Ali and Nino
Ali Khan and Nino Kipiani live in the cosmopolitan, oil-rich capital of Azerbaijan which, at the beginning of the twentieth century, is a melting-pot of different cultures. Ali is a Muslim, with his ancestors' passion for the desert, and Nino is a Christian Georgian girl with sophisticated European ways. Despite their differences, the two have loved each other since childhood and Ali is determined that he will marry Nino as soon as she leaves school. But there is not only the obstacle of their different religions and parental consent to overcome. The First World War breaks out. As the Russians withdraw, the Turks advance, and Ali and Nino find themselves swept up in Azerbaijan's fight for independence.
