Konzepte des Kollektiven
Das Konzept deutscher "Volksgruppen" außerhalb des geschlossenen deutschen Sprachgebiets in Zentral-, Ost- und Südosteuropa führte zu sprachlichen Gruppenbenennungen für diese regionalen Entitäten. Die Autor*innen von Heft 2.20 der "Spiegelungen" gehen zunächst der Analyse digitaler Sprachdaten zur Ermittlung von Begriffsgeschichten nach. Am Beispiel der "Buchenlanddeutschen", der "Bessarabiendeutschen", der "Galiziendeutschen" und der "Karpatendeutschen" werden sodann Konzepte des Kollektiven in Bezug auf die Deutschen in Südosteuropa untersucht. Weitere wissenschaftliche Beiträge befassen sich unter anderem mit oberdeutschen Siedlungen in Transkarpatien und im Banat, mit dem thematischen "Netzwerk Mehrsprachigkeit", dem Wörterbuch der ungarndeutschen Mundarten und mit einem Sonderfall aus dem Kontext der Nachkriegsdeportationen aus Ungarn in die UdSSR.
Narrated Empires
This book examines the role of imperial narratives of multinationalism as alternative ideologies to nationalism in Central and Eastern Europe, the Balkans, and the Middle East from the revolutions of 1848 up to the defeat and subsequent downfall of the Habsburg and Ottoman empires in 1918. During this period, both empires struggled against a rising tide of nationalism to legitimise their own diversity of ethnicities, languages and religions. Contributors scrutinise the various narratives of identity that they developed, supported, encouraged or unwittingly created and left behind for posterity as they tried to keep up with the changing political realities of modernity. Beyond simplified noti...
Schindler's List
In remembrance of the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz and the Nazi concentration camps, this award-winning, bestselling work of Holocaust fiction, inspiration for the classic film and “masterful account of the growth of the human soul” (Los Angeles Times Book Review), returns with an all-new introduction by the author. An “extraordinary” (New York Review of Books) novel based on the true story of how German war profiteer and factory director Oskar Schindler came to save more Jews from the gas chambers than any other single person during World War II. In this milestone of Holocaust literature, Thomas Keneally, author of The Book of Science and Antiquities and The Daughter of Mars, uses the actual testimony of the Schindlerjuden—Schindler’s Jews—to brilliantly portray the courage and cunning of a good man in the midst of unspeakable evil. “Astounding…in this case the truth is far more powerful than anything the imagination could invent” (Newsweek).
The Philosophy of Loyalty
Regarded by many as the foremost American idealist, Royce (1855-1916) offers in this book a key to understanding his influence on the development of pragmatism. (Philosophy)
History of the Liturgy
How great the differences between the Last Supper celebrated by Jesus and a pontifical High Mass at St. Peter's in Rome! And also, between the early baptisms by immersion described in the Acts of the Apostles and the baptisms of newborns in our parishes today. Why such a change in the celebration of the Christian mystery? Why the recent reforms, often misunderstood? In History of the Liturgy, Marcel Metzger answers such questions and offers an understanding of this evolution through a carefully documented historical survey. The essential forms of the liturgy were fixed very early according to the tradition received from the apostles. But the place given to biblical readings, teaching, singin...
