Telling Narratives
Telling Narratives analyzes key texts from nineteenth- and early twentieth-century African American literature to demonstrate how secrets and their many tellings have become slavery's legacy. By focusing on the ways secrets are told in texts by Jessie Fauset, Charles W. Chesnutt, Pauline Hopkins, Frederick Douglass, and others, Leslie W. Lewis suggests an alternative model to the feminist dichotomy of "breaking silence" in response to sexual violence. This fascinating study also suggests that masculine bias problematically ignores female experience in order to equate slavery with social death. In calling attention to the sexual behavior of slave masters in African American literature, Lewis highlights its importance to slavery’s legacy and offers a new understanding of the origins of self-consciousness within African American experience.
Offene Arbeit in Cuxhavener Kindertagesstätten
Das pädagogische Konzept Offene Arbeit für Kindertagesstätten entstand in Cuxhaven Mitte der 80er Jahre. Bis heute ist es in der Fachdiskussion virulent, allerdings gibt es inzwischen sehr viele unterschiedliche praktische Ausprägungen. Daher schien es an der Zeit, das Konzept für Cuxhavener Kindertagesstätten neu zu beschreiben, um deutlich zu machen wie es hier definiert wird, was der theoretische Hintergrund dafür ist und wie in Zukunft eine systematische Reflexion stattfinden kann.
Leo Strauss, the Straussians, and the American Regime
Responding to volatile criticisms frequently leveled at Leo Strauss and those he influenced, the prominent contributors to this volume demonstrate the profound influence that Strauss and his students have exerted on American liberal democracy and contemporary political thought. By stressing the enduring vitality of classic books and by articulating the theoretical and practical flaws of relativism and historicism, the contributors argue that Strauss and the Straussians have identified fundamental crises of modernity and liberal democracy. This book emphasizes the broad range of Strauss's influence, from literary criticism to constitutional thought, and it denies the existence of a monolithic Straussian political orthodoxy. Both critics and supporters of Strauss' thought are included. All political theorists interested in Strauss's extraordinary impact on political thought will want to read this book.
