Choreografien des Taktilen
Beim Besuch einer Tanzaufführung berührt zu werden und sich selbst bewegen zu können: Solche taktilen choreografischen Formate waren bislang nicht Gegenstand wissenschaftlicher Forschung. Dominika Cohn analysiert erstmals deren ästhetische Wahrnehmungsdimensionen jenseits des Visuellen. Dabei macht sie deutlich, dass sowohl die Tradition des Theaters als Schauraum als auch die abendländischen Ästhetikdiskurse auf einem Primat des Sehens beruhen, das mit Machtstrukturen verknüpft ist. Taktile Choreografie verhält sich dazu widerständig, sie praktiziert ein tastendes Denken – und weist in ihrer politischen Dimension feministische, postkoloniale und posthumane Anknüpfungspunkte auf.
Virtual Ecologies – Digitalitäten und Ökologien im Tanz
Neue Technologien und digitale Formate verändern die Praxis des Tanzens signifikant. Die Beiträge reflektieren wissenschaftlich und künstlerisch Phänomene wie Mixed Reality, Künstliche Intelligenz, Tanztrends in den sozialen Medien oder (digitale) Archivierungen und bringen sie mit Fragen des Ökologischen in Zusammenhang, indem sie historische und aktuelle Ansätze künstlerischen Arbeitens vor dem Hintergrund sozio-ökologischer Abhängigkeitssysteme betrachten. Im Spannungsverhältnis von »Digitalitäten« und »Ökologien« werden so zukünftige Potentiale für die Zusammenarbeit im Tanz sichtbar.

The Impact of Food Bioactives on Health
“Infogest” (Improving Health Properties of Food by Sharing our Knowledge on the Digestive Process) is an EU COST action/network in the domain of Food and Agriculture that will last for 4 years from April 4, 2011. Infogest aims at building an open international network of institutes undertaking multidisciplinary basic research on food digestion gathering scientists from different origins (food scientists, gut physiologists, nutritionists...). The network gathers 70 partners from academia, corresponding to a total of 29 countries. The three main scientific goals are: Identify the beneficial food components released in the gut during digestion; Support the effect of beneficial food componen...
Formal approaches to number in Slavic and beyond
The goal of this collective monograph is to explore the relationship between the cognitive notion of number and various grammatical devices expressing this concept in natural language with a special focus on Slavic. The book aims at investigating different morphosyntactic and semantic categories including plurality and number-marking, individuation and countability, cumulativity, distributivity and collectivity, numerals, numeral modifiers and classifiers, as well as other quantifiers. It gathers 19 contributions tackling the main themes from different theoretical and methodological perspectives in order to contribute to our understanding of cross-linguistic patterns both in Slavic and non-Slavic languages.
Imperial Rule and the Politics of Nationalism
During the first half of the twentieth century, movements seeking political equality emerged in France's overseas territories. Within twenty years, they were replaced by movements for national independence in the majority of French colonies, protectorates, and mandates. In this pathbreaking study of the decolonization era, Adria Lawrence asks why elites in French colonies shifted from demands for egalitarian and democratic reforms to calls for independent statehood, and why mass mobilization for independence emerged where and when it did. Lawrence shows that nationalist discourses became dominant as a consequence of the failure of the reform agenda. Where political rights were granted, colonial subjects opted for further integration and reform. Contrary to conventional accounts, nationalism was not the only or even the primary form of anti-colonialism. Lawrence shows further that mass nationalist protest occurred only when and where French authority was disrupted. Imperial crises were the cause, not the result, of mass protest.
Dying Prepared in Medieval and Early Modern Northern Europe
How did people of the past prepare for death, and how were their preparations affected by religious beliefs or social and economic responsibilities? Dying Prepared in Medieval and Early Modern Northern Europe analyses the various ways in which people made preparations for death in medieval and early modern Northern Europe, adapting religious teachings to local circumstances. The articles span the period from the Middle Ages to Early Modernity allowing an analysis over centuries of religious change that are too often artificially separated in historical study. Contributors are Dominika Burdzy, Otfried Czaika, Kirsi Kanerva, Mia Korpiola, Anu Lahtinen, Riikka Miettinen, Bertil Nilsson, and Cindy Wood.
Border Fictions
Border Fictions offers the first comparative analysis of multiethnic and transnational cultural representations about the United States' borders with Mexico and Canada. Blending textual analysis with theories of globalization and empire, Claudia Sadowski-Smith forges a new model of inter-American studies. Border Fictions places into dialogue a variety of hemispheric perspectives from Chicana/o, Asian American, American Indian, Latin American, and Canadian studies. Each chapter examines fiction that ranges widely, from celebrated authors such as Carlos Fuentes, Leslie Marmon Silko, and Alberto Ríos to writers whose contributions to border literature have not yet been fully appreciated, inclu...
Interactions between Bioactive Food Ingredients and Intestinal Microbiota, volume II
This is Volume II of the Research Topic "Interactions between Bioactive Food Ingredients and Intestinal Microbiota". The previous edition can be found here. Numerous microorganisms colonize the gastrointestinal tract playing critical roles concerning digestion and absorption of dietary nutrients and the regulation of important functions, including host metabolism, immunity, and intestinal barrier function. Increasing evidence suggests that food encompassing nutrients and polyphenols are strong drivers shaping the composition and function of the gut microbiota and mediate the host's physiological activities directly or indirectly. However, the mechanisms involved in the interactions between food nutrients/prebiotics, gut microbiota and host health have not been enlightened to a wide extent.
