Terdekat dan Terasing: Kumpulan Catatan Sejarah Sosial Keluarga
Mengenal Indonesia melalui sudut pandang dan narasi kecil bernama keluarga adalah upaya untuk mendekatkan “yang jauh”. Sehingga kita memiliki kesempatan menjadi tak perlu panjang lebar dan muluk-muluk untuk menjelaskan Indonesia karena bisa dimulai dari yang paling dekat—melalui sejarah keluarga dan orang-orang di sekitar kita, melalui aktivitas keseharian, ritual agama dan kepercayaan, tradisi, makanan dan minuman, arsitektur, gaya berpakaian, atau apa saja yang selama ini kita terima begitu saja sebagai hal yang biasa. Kisah-kisah di buku ini seperti menjelma menjadi kawan yang menawarkan keakraban yang nyaris tak pernah ia tampakkan di ruang-ruang resmi dan serius. Kita menjadi tahu bahwa kita tak pernah benar-benar tahu tentang kawan kelasi terdekat. Pada akhirnya kita tahu setelah mendengar langsung kisah diri dan keluarganya, dan kita membuka diri menerima kawan kita dengan segala macam kisah hidupnya.
War in the Balkans, 1991-2002
Armed conflict on the territory of the former Yugoslavia between 1991 and 2001 claimed over 200,000 lives, gave rise to atrocities unseen in Europe since the Second World War, and left behind a terrible legacy of physical ruin and psychological devastation. Unfolding against the background of the end of cold war bipolarity, the new Balkan wars sounded a discordant counterpoint to efforts to construct a more harmonious European order, were a major embarrassment for the international institutions deemed responsible for conflict management, and became a preoccupation for the powers concerned with restoring regional stability. After more than a decade of intermittent hostilities the conflict has been contained, but only as a result of significant external interventions and the establishment of a series of de facto international protectorates, patrolled by UN, NATO, and EU sponsored peacekeepers with open-ended mandates.
Interslavic zonal constructed language
Interslavic zonal constructed language is an auxiliary language, which looks very similar to real spoken Slavic languages in Central and Eastern Europe and continues the tradition of the Old Church Slavonic language. Interslavic shares grammar and common vocabulary with modern spoken Slavic languages in order to build a universal language tool that Slavic people can understand without any or with very minimal prior learning. It is an easily-learned language for those who want to use this language actively. Interslavic enables passive (e.g. receptive) understanding of the real Slavic languages. Non-Slavic people can use Interslavic as the door to the big Slavic world. Zonal constructed langua...

Meanings and Functions of the Ruler's Image in the Mediterranean World (11th – 15th Centuries)
(The open access version of this book has been published with the support of the Swiss National Science Foundation.) The book proposes a reassessment of royal portraiture and its function in the Middle Ages via a comparative analysis of works from different areas of the Mediterranean world, where images are seen as only one outcome of wider and multifarious strategies for the public mise-en-scène of the rulers’ bodies. Its emphasis is on the ways in which medieval monarchs in different areas of the Mediterranean constructed their outward appearance and communicated it by means of a variety of rituals, object-types, and media. Contributors are Michele Bacci, Nicolas Bock, Gerardo Boto Varela, Branislav Cvetković, Sofia Fernández Pozzo, Gohar Grigoryan Savary, Elodie Leschot, Vinni Lucherini, Ioanna Rapti, Juan Carlos Ruiz Souza, Marta Serrano-Coll, Lucinia Speciale, Manuela Studer-Karlen, Mirko Vagnoni, and Edda Vardanyan.
Lenin, Religion, and Theology
Based on a careful reading of Lenin's Collected Works, Roland Boer pursues the implications for linking Lenin with religion and theology and seeks to bring Lenin into recent debates over the intersections between theology and the Left, between the Bible and political thought.
