Jesuit Survival and Restoration
In Jesuit Survival and Restoration leading scholars from around the world discuss the most dramatic event in the Society of Jesus's history. The order was suppressed by papal command in 1773 and for the next forty-one years ex-Jesuits endeavoured to keep the Ignatian spirit alive and worked towards the order's restoration. When this goal was achieved in 1814 the Society entered one of its most dynamic but troubled eras. The contributions in the volume trace this story in a global perspective, looking at developments in Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas.
A Companion to the Catholic Enlightenment in Europe
This book offers the first comprehensive overview of the Catholic Enlightenment in Europe. It surveys the diversity of views about the structure and nature of the movement, pointing toward the possibilities for further research. The volume presents a series of comprehensive treatments on the process and interpretation of Catholic Enlightenment in France, Spain, Portugal, Poland, the Holy Roman Empire, Malta, Italy and the Habsburg territories.

Die Phänomenologie der Flugreise
Die Erfahrung der Flugreise bildet von Anbeginn einen Topos für Literatur und andere Künste. Von Darstellungen der Ballonreise über »Heroen« des Fliegens bis hin zu kinematographischen Katastrophenvisionen und Liedern über die Schönheit des Fliegens widmet sich der Band den künstlerischen Interpretationen der Flugreise. Die Erfahrung des Fliegens kennzeichnet ein Paradox: Seine kaum nachvollziehbare Fortbewegung »über den Wolken« schon lange nicht mehr als Feier der Beschleunigung und überwindung der Raumgrenzen gefeiert. Fliegen ist zu einer »leeren« Zeit geworden, die durchgestanden, überbrückt, überwunden und hinter sich gebracht werden will. Wie werden solche Situationen in der Literatur und anderen Künsten dargestellt, welche andersartigen Wahrnehmungen von Flugreisen finden sich gegenüber dieser Normalität des Fliegens thematisiert und ästhetisch vergegenwärtigt? Der Band sucht aus interdisziplinärer Perspektive diesen Fragen nachzugehen.
