Die drei Grazien
In der Geschichte der Kunst sind nur wenige Motive so haufig und uber so grosse Zeitraume hin immer wieder gestaltet worden wie das der drei Grazien. Vom Mittelalter bis ins 18. Jahrhundert hinein waren die drei Gottinnen vor allem als Allegorie der Wohltaten und der Freundschaft bekannt. Im 16. Jahrhundert wurden sie auch zum Sinnbild der Grazie, jener Anmut und Uberzeugungskraft, die Gefallen hervorrief und in der Kunsttheorie als kronende Eigenschaft eines vollendeten Kunstwerks galt. In Einzelanalysen werden in diesem Band das Bedeutungsspektrum der Grazien, die literarischen Grundlagen sowie die kulturgeschichtlichen Bedingungen fur die Verwendung dieser Allegorie dargelegt. Als Kristallisationspunkte erweisen sich dabei sowohl in inhaltlicher wie kunstlerischer Hinsicht die Werke bedeutender Kunstler wie Sandro Botticelli, Hans Baldung Grien, Giorgio Vasari, Annibale Carracci, Tintoretto, Peter Paul Rubens, Francois Boucher und Philipp Otto Runge.
Tools and Modes of Representation in the Laboratory Sciences
constitutive of reference in laboratory sciences as cultural sign systems and their manipulation and superposition, collectively shared classifications and associated conceptual frameworks,· and various fonns of collective action and social institutions. This raises the question of how much modes of representation, and specific types of sign systems mobilized to construct them, contribute to reference. Semioticians have argued that sign systems are not merely passive media for expressing preconceived ideas but actively contribute to meaning. Sign systems are culturally loaded with meaning stemming from previous practical applications and social traditions of applications. In new local conte...

Conflict and the Environment
The end of the Cold War has opened up the arena for increased attention to other lines of conflict, both in Europe and globally. Environmental disruption - by no means a new phenomenon - is a chief beneficiary of the shift in priorities in the public debate. The Scientific and Environmental Affairs Division of NATO has moved with the times and has defined environmental security as one of the priority areas for its cooperation with Central and Eastern Europe and countries of the former Soviet Union. Research on these issues is now thus very much a collaborative effort across former lines of division in Europe. The Introduction by Sverre Stub sets the tone: Our Future - Common, or None at All. The book reveals the very real risks associated with environmental degradation, whether of the land, waters or the oceans, and charts out previous disputes and points to the very real danger of violent conflict associated with the drying up of natural resources. The book ends with a section on Responses, which seeks to provide answers to the threats discussed in the preceding sections.
Understanding Civil Wars
This volume explores the nature of civil war in the modern world and in historical perspective. Civil wars represent the principal form of armed conflict since the end of the Second World War, and certainly in the contemporary era. The nature and impact of civil wars suggests that these conflicts reflect and are also a driving force for major societal change. In this sense, Understanding Civil Wars: Continuity and change in intrastate conflict argues that the nature of civil war is not fundamentally changing in nature. The book includes a thorough consideration of patterns and types of intrastate conflict and debates relating to the causes, impact, and ‘changing nature’ of war. A key foc...
