Schatten über Galtür?
Am 23. Februar 1999 verwüstete eine Lawine Ortsteile von Galtür, die seit Jahrhunderten als sicher galten und in der grünen Zone lagen. Neben zahllosen Verletzten forderte die Katastrophe 31 Menschenleben, davon 25 Urlaubsgäste und sechs Einheimische. Weil ein derartiges Geschehen Spuren in den Dorfbewohnern hinterlassen haben muss, ging der Autor im Rahmen einer psychoanalytisch-ethnologischen Feldforschung der Frage nach, ob und inwieweit die Einheimischen das Desaster verarbeitet haben. Er kam zu überraschenden Ergebnissen, die dem offenen Horizont eines interdisziplinären Zugangs zu verdanken sind, dessen Anliegen es ist, den Gegensatz zwischen "Objektivisten" und "Konstruktivisten" in der Katastrophenforschung zu relativieren.

European Psychotherapy 2014/2015
This special issue reaches far, not only geographically but mconcerning personalities, their biographies und also the dynamics which originate therefrom.

Sometimes the person and their origin, with others the personality and their relationships and sometimes the scientist and their work occupy centre stage.
'Nordsee ist Mordsee'
An den Flachküsten der südlichen Nordsee zu siedeln, war schon immer ein gefährliches Unterfangen. Seit der letzten Eiszeit steigt der Meeresspiegel unaufhörlich, und die vorherrschenden Winde aus Nordwest treiben bei schweren Stürmen die "Mordsee" in die Höhe. Die Angst vor verheerenden Sturmfluten ist daher ein bestimmendes Merkmal der friesischen Mentalitätsgeschichte und als Struktur von langer Dauer in der populären Überlieferung nachweisbar. Die Arbeit ist historisch angelegt, doch geht es nicht in erster Linie um eine präzise Darlegung dessen, was geschehen ist, sondern darum, anschaulich zu machen, wie die Friesen Sturmfluten bewältigt und erklärt haben. Dazu wird auf men...
Learning and Calamities
It is widely assumed that humanity should be able to learn from calamities (e.g., emergencies, disasters, catastrophes) and that the affected individuals, groups, and enterprises, as well as the concerned (disaster-) management organizations and institutions for prevention and mitigation, will be able to be better prepared or more efficient next time. Furthermore, it is often assumed that the results of these learning processes are preserved as "knowledge" in the collective memory of a society, and that patterns of practices were adopted on this base. Within history, there is more evidence for the opposite: Analyzing past calamities reveals that there is hardly any learning and, if so, that ...
Kulturtechnik Aberglaube
Wahrheit wird immer wieder neu konstruiert - und damit auch, was nicht dazugehört. Was nicht den jeweils aktuellen, allgemein akzeptierten oder hegemonial durchgesetzten Deutungsweisen der Realität entspricht, gilt als falsches Wissen oder falscher Glaube. Aberglaube definiert sich also nicht selbst. Er wird durch Diskurse bestimmt, die den Abstand zu ihm suchen und ihn als irrational oder kurios einstufen. Die Beiträge in diesem Band zeigen: Die Praktiken des Aberglaubens lassen sich neu lesen als in sich logische Vorstufen moderner Popularmagie - aber auch als Symptome einer defizitären Aufklärung. In transdisziplinär angelegtem Bogen nähern sie sich den historischen und gegenwärtigen Strategien einer der größten Ängste des Menschen: der Angst vor dem Zufall.
Alfred Adler og individualpsykologi i det nye årtusenet
Hvem var Alfred Adler, og hvorfor var hans studier grunnleggende for dybdepsykologien? Hvordan endret individualpsykologien han teoretiserte menneskets tenkning for alltid? Hvilken innvirkning hadde Adler på verden? Denne boken er en reise inn i arven fra Adlers teori og dybdepsykologi. Den utforsker betydningen av individuell psykologi i fortidens og dagens samfunn. Reisen begynner med Adlers liv og den rollen han spilte i den psykoanalytiske bevegelsen, og fortsetter med de grunnleggende prinsippene i Adlers psykologiske teori. Vi vil oppdage Adlers innvirkning og betydning i utviklingen av psykodynamikk og arbeidsprinsippene i Adleriansk teori gjennom nøkkelbegreper som mindreverdighetsfølelse, nevrose, livsstil og utvikling av sosial følelse. Boken vil også belyse de praktiske implikasjonene av Adlers teorier i dagens samfunn, fra pedagogikk til sosiologi og generell kultur. Til slutt vil den fortsette på en oppdagelsesreise mot organisasjoner og institusjoner som har tatt opp den adlerianske arven, som opererer over hele verden og sprer prinsippene for individuell psykologi.
Catastrophe and Catharsis
Destroying human habitat and taking human lives, disasters, be they natural, man-made, or a combination, threaten large populations, even entire nations and societies. They also disrupt the existing order and cause discontinuity in our sense of self and our perceptions of the world. To restore order, not only must human beings be rescued and affected areas rebuilt, but the reality of the catastrophe must also be transformed into narrative. The essays in this collection examine representations of disaster in literature, film, and mass media in German and international contexts, exploring the nexus between disruption and recovery through narrative from the eighteenth century to the present. To...
Cities as Multiple Landscapes
Cities are composed of a combination of urban and rural spaces, buildings and boundaries, and human bodies engaged in political, social, and cultural discourses. Together, these combine to create what the contributors to this volume call multiple landscapes. Developing a new theoretical conceptualization of cities, this book unites American and European approaches to comparative urban studies by investigating the concept of multiple landscapes in two sister cities: New Orleans and Innsbruck. As the essays reveal, both New Orleans and Innsbruck have long been centers of multicultural exchange, have strong senses of historical heritage, and profit from the spectacular geographies in which they are situated. Geography, in particular, links both cities to environmental, technological, and security challenges that must be considered in connection with aesthetic, cultural, and ecological debates. Exploring the many connections between New Orleans and Innsbruck, the interdisciplinary essays in this book will change the way we think about cities both local and abroad.
