Few articles in the humanities have had the impact of Lisa Jardine and Anthony Grafton’s seminal ‘Studied for Action’ (1990), a study of the reading practices of Elizabethan polymath and prolific annotator Gabriel Harvey. Their excavation of the setting, methods and ambitions of Harvey’s encounters with his books ignited the History of Reading, an interdisciplinary field which quickly became one of the most exciting corners of the scholarly cosmos. A generation inspired by the model of Harvey fanned out across the world’s libraries and archives, seeking to reveal the many creative, unexpected and curious ways that individuals throughout history responded to texts, and how these int...
Clubspotting offers a quick and dynamic picture of the here and now of club culture, Italian style. No longer tightly bound to the Anglo-Saxon fast paced squeal of the electric guitar, today's twenty year olds move to the bits and beats of the sonic studio/laboratory where new instruments such as the PC Cubase and Sampler prevail. 'Club culture' is their catch cry, 'electronic' the standard form of expression. This totally visual book is the creative expression of a world that is non-political and post-hedonist, nervously wordless and volatile. It's a short journey that attempts to makes club culture understood, available and fascinating for everyone. Artists featured include Jazzanova, Howie B, Krust and Michael Reinbot. The book is divided into sections: Flyer Zone, Club Zine, Art Zone, Nu Directors and Clubs on the Web.
Turkish republicanism is commonly thought to have originated with Mustafa Kemal Atatürk and the founding of modern Turkey in 1923, and understood exclusively in terms of Kemalist ideals, characterized by the principles of secularism, nationalism, statism, and populism. Banu Turnaoğlu challenges this view, showing how Turkish republicanism represents the outcome of centuries of intellectual dispute in Turkey over Islamic and liberal conceptions of republicanism, culminating in the victory of Kemalism in the republic's formative period. Drawing on a wealth of rare archival material, Turnaoğlu presents the first complete history of republican thinking in Turkey from the birth of the Ottoman ...
Rękopis [Księga kabał królowej Sobieskiej] nie został dotąd tak wszechstronnie opracowany i skomentowany jako źródło do poznania mentalności w drugiej połowie XVII wieku, zwłaszcza zaś oceny oddziaływania na nią i roli, jaką w tym oddziaływaniu odgrywały wzorce myślenia magicznego. Przez autora (autorów) tego tekstu zostały one do pewnego stopnia uprawomocnione przez odwoływanie się do autorytetu Biblii, a także do tradycji mistyki żydowskiej, czyli właśnie kabały. Ta bowiem w okresie wczesnonowożytnym, szczególnie w wiekach XVI–XVII, łączona bywała z tradycją neoplatońską, tak charakterystyczną dla prądu humanistyczno-renesansowego. Owe relacje międz...
Se tua madre ti perseguita perché ti sposi e il tuo lui ha avuto una figlia da un'altra forse è arrivato il momento di cambiare le regole del gioco
Recht lebt in und von der Sprache. Daher ist der juristische Diskurs elementar für die Entwicklung rechtlicher Ordnung, auch der Europarechtsordnung. Jan Kalbheim analysiert zunächst die Diskurssituation des Europäischen Gerichtshofs als eines gewichtigen Diskursteilnehmers innerhalb der offenen Gesellschaft der Europarechtsinterpreten sowohl in personeller, als auch in institutioneller Hinsicht. Sodann untersucht er, ausgehend vom Kampf um die Änderung der EuGH-Rechtsprechung, diesen Diskurs in sechs exemplarischen Fallstudien. Damit erschließt er einen neuen Zugang zum Verständnis der Rechtsprechung des Europäischen Gerichtshofs und verdeutlicht die Aufgabe der anderen Diskursteilnehmer, insbesondere der nationalen Höchstgerichte und der Rechtswissenschaft, den europäischen juristischen Diskurs durch konstruktive Kritik dieser Rechtsprechung offen zu halten.
