Christian Masculinity
In the mid-nineteenth century, when the idea of religion as a private matter connected to the home and the female sphere won acceptance among the bourgeois elite, Christian religious practices began to be associated with femininity and soft values. Contemporary critics claimed that religion was incompatible with true manhood, and today's scholars talk about a feminization of religion. But was this really the case? What expression did male religious faith take at a time when Christianity was losing its status as the foundation of society? This is the starting point for the research presented in Christian Masculinity. Here we meet Catholic and Protestant men struggling with and for their Chris...

Nacktaktiv
Von absurden Situationen, über bekennende Fetischisten bis hin zum FKK-Kult ist hier alles möglich. Reißt sich der Held den Stoff nur so vom Leib, sobald er zu Hause ist? Liebt die Heldin ihren Körper so sehr, dass sie lieber gleich ganz auf Anziehsachen verzichtet, oder ist man einfach zur falschen Zeit am falschen Ort? Manch einer ist bekleidet eine Schlaftablette und erwacht erst zu "echtem" Leben, wenn auch der letzte Fetzen Stoff von ihm abgeblättert ist. Nicht umsonst sind diese Leute nicht nachts, sondern nur nackt-aktiv. Oder ist das alles nur erfunden - die Fantasie von unbefriedigten Hausfrauen und Machos aus der zweiten Reihe? Mitnichten! Schon so manche zahme, keusche Hupfdohle hat sich unbekleidet als echte Perle entpuppt. Und so manch scheuer Schmächtling als "ganzer Kerl". Hier sind sie, die wahren Geschichten aus dem Leben: Spannend, lustig, ironisch aber immer mit dem Funken Erotik, der einen wünschen lässt, dabei gewesen zu sein. Vielleicht auch nur, um zu lachen ...

Deixis in Narrative
This volume describes the theoretical and empirical results of a seven year collaborative effort of cognitive scientists to develop a computational model for narrative understanding. Disciplines represented include artificial intelligence, cognitive psychology, communicative disorders, education, English, geography, linguistics, and philosophy. The book argues for an organized representational system -- a Deictic Center (DC) -- which is constructed by readers from language in a text combined with their world knowledge. As readers approach a new text they need to gather and maintain information about who the participants are and where and when the events take place. This information plays a c...
