Beyond the Night
Werewolves, witches, vampires, demons, gods, zombies, and shape-shifters; these are just a few examples of the monstrous that society is confronted with. Most people have some knowledge about these creatures, and have had fleeting contact with ghosts, fairies, vampires and goblins, either in their imagination, or while reading, watching, or interacting with other people (whether in reality or the online world). From Beowulf and Buffy, to Freddy Krueger and Frankenstein’s Monster, this collection highlights different aspects of the monstrous, and discusses various ways in which they can be read, discussed, and understood. What does the mother in Beowulf really represent? How can the charact...

Weimar on the Pacific
In the 1930s and '40s, LA became a cultural sanctuary for a distinguished group of German artists and intellectuals - including Thomas Mann, Theodor W. Adorno, Bertolt Brecht, Fritz Lang, and Arnold Schoenberg - who were fleeing Nazi Germany. This book is the first to examine their work and lives.
Networking Across Borders and Frontiers
This volume presents the proceedings of a Coimbra Group conference on networking across borders and frontiers in European culture and society that took place at the University of Graz in September 2007. Organised by the Task Force on Culture, Arts and Humanities it brought together researches from ten different European countries and an array of disciplines across the Humanities and Social Sciences spectrum, from Cultural Anthropology, European Ethnology, History, Literary Studies and Fine Arts to Peace Studies, Sociology and Political Sciences. It explores the capacity of the frontier-network binary for describing and analysing historical, cultural and political processes in the formation of European cultures and societies past and present, and across national and disciplinary boundaries.

Der Debütroman Der rote Nepomuk des 1926 geborenen Autors erschien erst im Jahre 1993, nachdem er aus dem aktiven Berufsleben ausgeschieden war, in einem Alter also, in dem andere Autorinnen und Autoren zumeist schon auf ein umfangreiches schriftstellerisches Lebenswerk zurückschauen. Das Manuskript zu seinem Erstlingsroman hatte er zwar bereits als knapp Dreißigjähriger geschrieben, aber aus zeitbedingten politischen Gründen keinem Verlag zur Veröffentlichung angeboten. Nun aber war ihm große Resonanz und Anerkennung beschieden, und weil der Kopf, wie er selber sagt, noch voller Geschichten und Ideen war, ...
Muslims as Actors
This book deals with Islamic studies and with the question how the scholarly study of religion can contribute to the study of Islam. The author advocates studying Islamic phenomena as signs and symbols interpreted and applied in diverse ways in existing traditions. He stresses the role of Muslims as actors in the ongoing debate about the articulation of Islamic ways of life and construction of Islam as a religion. A careful study of this debate should steer clear of political, religious, and ideological interests. Research in this area by Muslims and non-Muslim scholars alike should address the question of what Muslims have made of their Islam in specific circumstances. Current political con...
