What does it mean when a radical understanding of National Socialism is inextricably embedded in the work of the twentieth century's most important philosopher? Martin Heidegger's sympathies for the conservative revolution and National Socialism have long been well known. As the rector of the University of Freiburg in the early 1930s, he worked hard to reshape the university in accordance with National Socialist policies. He also engaged in an all-out struggle to become the movement's philosophical preceptor, "to lead the leader." Yet for years, Heidegger's defenders have tried to separate his political beliefs from his philosophical doctrines. They argued, in effect, that he was good at phi...
L'estudi dels processos de nacionalització, és a dir, de la difusió social de les identitats nacionals, és un dels aspectes centrals per al camp de recerca dedicat al nacionalisme. No obstant això, es tracta d'un àmbit que explica encara amb una relativa escassetat de treballs, especialment quan s'aborda des d'una perspectiva comparada. El present volum es dedica a l'estudi dels processos de nacionalització en els marcs dels Estats-nació europeus. El cas espanyol és objecte d'especial atenció, encara que des d'una perspectiva comparada amb els països del seu entorn, la qual cosa permet plantejar dubtes sobre la suposada excepcionalitat del procés de nacionalització espanyol. El volum es compon de tretze estudis escrits per historiadors procedents de nou universitats europees i espanyoles

A la fenomenología criminal compete hacer factible que la Criminiología disponga del objeto material necesario para iniciar su contenido de esclarecer en lo posible, de forma rigurosa y persuasiva, el campo de la criminalidad. Esto explica la enorme relevancia que hay que atribuir a la Fenomenología Criminal como parte integrante de la Criminología científica. Esta función es imprescindible tanto para la Criminología en general como para cualquier Criminología específica. También, sin duda, para la llamada Criminología comparada, con intenso predicamento en la actualidad. Y con razón, porque cuando la misma se elabora con competencia y ciencia, permite ponderar, sinópticamente, la veracidad y posible aplicación global, o no, de las principales conclusiones de las investigaciones criminológicas. Queda así justificada la publicación de esta obra monográfica, encaminada a examinar la Fenomenología criminal y la Criminología comparada.
Envy, irritation, paranoia—in contrast to powerful and dynamic negative emotions like anger, these non-cathartic states of feeling are associated with situations in which action is blocked or suspended. In her examination of the cultural forms to which these affects give rise, Sianne Ngai suggests that these minor and more politically ambiguous feelings become all the more suited for diagnosing the character of late modernity. Along with her inquiry into the aesthetics of unprestigious negative affects such as irritation, envy, and disgust, Ngai examines a racialized affect called “animatedness,” and a paradoxical synthesis of shock and boredom called “stuplimity.” She explores the...

What makes somebody a Loser, a person doomed to unfulfilled dreams and humiliation? Nobody is born to lose, and yet failure embodies our worst fears. The Loser is our national bogeyman, and his history over the past two hundred years reveals the dark side of success, how economic striving reshaped the self and soul of America. From colonial days to the Columbine tragedy, Scott Sandage explores how failure evolved from a business loss into a personality deficit, from a career setback to a gauge of our self-worth. From hundreds of private diaries, family letters, business records, and even early credit reports, Sandage reconstructs the dramas of real-life Willy Lomans. He unearths their confes...
Vom Franquismus zur Postmoderne - dieser Zeitraum ist gekennzeichnet durch fundamentale Paradigmenwechsel, die alle Ebenen von Politik, Gesellschaft und Kultur in Spanien umfassen: Der friedvolle Ubergang von der Diktatur zur Demokratie, der diskursive Wandel des Weiblichkeitskonzeptes sowie die Offnung des literarischen Feldes. In der engen Vernetzung dieser gesellschaftlichen, diskursiven und literarischen Veranderungen erweist sich die spanische Transicion als ergiebiges Feld fur eine kulturwissenschaftliche Untersuchung der Wechselwirkung von diskursivem Wandel und Literaturproduktion. Ausgangspunkt dieser Studie ist der Paradigmenwechsel im Weiblichkeitsdiskurs mit seinen Auswirkungen a...
