Contesting Religious Identities
Religion is a hot topic on the public stages of ‘secular’ societies, not in its individualized liberal or orthodox form, but rather as a public statement, challenging the divide between the secular neutral space and the religious. In this new challenging modus, religion raises questions about identity, power, rationality, subjectivity, law and safety, but above all: religion questions, contests and even blurs the borders between the public and the private. These phenomena urge to rethink what are often considered to be clear differences between religions, between the public and the private and between the religious and the secular. In this volume scholars from a range of different disciplines map the different aspects of the dynamics of changing, contesting and contested religious identities.
10 Years of Freedom
In late October 2006, one of the most spectacular kidnapping cases of the younger past had come to end, when Natascha Kampusch freed herself after being held captive in a hidden cellar (near Vienna, Austria) for more than eight years. Media companies from all over the world came to cover her life story, which has taken quite some twists since then. The result: two autobiographies, a feature film, several documentaries and hundreds of interviews – all within a decade. "10 Years of Freedom" offers us an insight into the impact such a nightmarish captivity has on a young woman's life. It tells the story of a naive victim, that had to learn to cope with the real world after being locked away f...
3,096 Days
On 2 March 1998, ten-year-old Natascha Kampusch was snatched off the street by a stranger and bundled into a white van. Hours later she found herself in a dark cellar, wrapped in a blanket. When she emerged eight years later, her childhood had gone. Here Natascha tells her amazing story for the first time: what exactly happened on the day of her abduction, her imprisonment in a five-square-metre dungeon, and the mental and physical abuse she suffered from her abductor, Wolfgang Priklopil.
Postcolonial Transitions in Europe
Is the notion of postcolonial Europe an oxymoron? How do colonial pasts inform the emergence of new subjectivities and political frontiers in contemporary Europe? Postcolonial Transitions in Europe explores these questions from different theoretical, geopolitical and media perspectives. Drawing from the interdisciplinary tools of postcolonial critique, this book contests the idea that Europe developed within clear-cut geographical boundaries. It examines how experiences of colonialism and imperialism continue to be constitutive of the European space and of the very idea of Europe. By approaching Europe as a complex political space, the chapters investigate topical concerns around its politics of inclusion and exclusion towards migrants, asylum seekers and refugees, as well as its take on internal conflicts, transitions and cosmopolitan imaginaries. With a foreword by Paul Gilroy
10 Years of Freedom
After being held captive for 3096 days in a hidden room near Vienna, Natascha Kampusch now lives a life without physical boundaries but mental ones. Her second autobiography "10 Years of Freedom" tells the full story about the "girl in the cellar" who had succeeded in returning to society after all.
Trauma and Beyond
In this seminal work on the clinical, archetypal and spiritual dimension of trauma, the author offers a compelling vision of the transformative potential of suffering and the dialectic of Dying and Becoming. Wirtz outlines a healing path from fragmentation to integration and illuminates the resilience of the human spirit in the face of severe trauma. Trauma and Beyond will be essential reading and a valuable resource for counsellors, therapists and Jungian analysts who are challenged in their practice with individual and collective traumata.
3096 Tage
ÄIch fühle mich nun stark genug, die ganze Geschichte meiner Entführung zu erzählen.ä Natascha Kampusch erlitt das schrecklichste Schicksal, das einem Kind zustossen kann: Am 2. März 1998 wurde sie im Alter von zehn Jahren auf dem Schulweg entführt. Ihr Peiniger, der Nachrichtentechniker Wolfgang Priklopil, hielt sie in einem Kellerverlies gefangen - 3096 Tage lang. Am 23. August 2006 gelang ihr aus eigener Kraft die Flucht. Priklopil nahm sich noch am selben Tag das Leben. Jetzt spricht Natascha Kampusch zum ersten Mal offen über die Entführung, die Zeit der Gefangenschaft, ihre Beziehung zum Täter und darüber, wie es ihr gelang, der Hölle zu entkommen.

Gründerzeit 1200
Wie ein Orkan fegte die neue, die moderne Zeit durch die Welt des Mittelalters. In den Zentren entwickelte sich ein nie dagewesener Erfindergeist. Mit dem massiven Städteboom begann eine Epoche von beispielloser Kühnheit und Kreativität. Eine Zeit, der wir geniale Alltagserfindungen wie Brille, Kompass und Uhrwerk verdanken und atemberaubende Bauwerke wie die gotischen Kathedralen. Die Geburtsstunde des Bürgertums schlug mit der urbanen Revolution um 1200. Auf der Basis jüngster archäologischer Erkenntnisse zeichnen Gisela Graichen und Matthias Wemhoff ein unbekanntes Bild von der Gründerzeit der Städte, in denen wir heute leben – von den ersten Rathäusern bis zur heimlichen Supermacht der Hanse, von der Erfindung des Umweltschutzes und des Stadtmanagements bis zu den Umwälzungen in Bildung und Medizin. Vor allem aber erzählen sie ganz nah von den Menschen, die einst das neue »Zeitalter der Städte« begründeten.
