Troubling the Social
These papers, from the annual Summer/Spring School of the IRTG, revolve around the theme of “troubling the social”, exploring the complex relationships between religion, social worlds and transformation from the vantage point of the postcolony—not so much as a geographical location, but rather as a way to understand the world. The contributions examine the coloniality inherent within the academic enterprises related to religion, but also what, how, and why religious experiences, worldviews and engagements count as knowledge and the implications this has for understanding, examining, and activating social transformation processes. Processes of transformation have been prominent within t...
Landscapes of Resistance
On August 3, 2014, the Sinjar region of Northern Iraq was attacked by the “Islamic State”. Killing and abducting thousands, the jihadists also destroyed many of the religious minority’s shrines.

Through extensive fieldwork in the region, I trace imaginaries of Sinjar as a landscape of resistance and a communal history of continuous persecution to current political disputes and attempts to construct a unified Yezidi identity.
The Routledge Handbook of Emotions in the Ancient Near East
This in-depth exploration of emotions in the ancient Near East illuminates the rich and complex worlds of feelings encompassed within the literary and material remains of this remarkable region, home to many of the world’s earliest cities and empires, and lays critical foundations for future study.

The vo...
Elbschatz
Unfreiwillig strandet eine Düsseldorfer Reisegruppe in Kophusen. Der Bus ist defekt. Während die Gäste in dem kleinen Dorf festsitzen und auf den Ersatzbus warten, wird die Leiche eines jungen Mannes gefunden. Das Kophusener Ermittler-Trio gerät auf die Spur eines mysteriösen Geocachers, an dessen Verstecken immer wieder ein weißer Kastenwagen auftaucht. Kommissar Goldberg ahnt, dass die kuriosen Funde nicht Teil einer gewöhnlichen Schatzsuche sind. Hinter den Kulissen der harmlos wirkenden Reisegruppe entspinnt sich ein perfides Versteckspiel, das zu eskalieren droht.
Privatrechtliche Selbsthilfe
Das Internet ermöglich es, die Nutzung nicht nur von Daten, sondern auch von vernetzten Geräten zu verhindern oder zu beschränken. Diese Rechtsdurchsetzung ohne Zwangsvollstreckung eröffnet ein hohes Missbrauchsrisiko. Michael Beurskens führt die bislang nur fragmentarischen Regelungen zu einer einheitlichen Lösung zusammen. ... --
