Kant’s Theory of Value
In explicit form, Kant does not speak that much about values or goods. The reason for this is obvious: the concepts of ‘values’ and ‘goods’ are part of the eudaimonistic tradition, and he famously criticizes eudaimonism for its flawed ‘material’ approach to ethics. But he uses, on several occasions, the traditional teleological language of goods and values. Especially in the Groundwork and the Critique of Practical Reason, Kant develops crucial points on this conceptual basis. Furthermore, he implicitly discusses issues of conditional and unconditional values, subjective and objective values, aesthetic or economic values etc. In recent Kant scholarship, there has been a controversy on the question how moral and nonmoral values are related in Kant’s account of human dignity. This leads to the more fundamental problem if Kant should be seen as a prescriptvist (antirealist) or as subscribing to a more objective rational agency account of goods. This issue and several further questions are addressed in this volume.
German #MeToo
This volume of new essays represents a collective, academic, and activist effort to interpret German literature and culture in the context of the international #MeToo movement, illustrating and interrogating the ways that rape cultures persist.
Einführung in die Gender Studies
Typisch Frau, typisch Mann – was heißt das eigentlich? Weiblichkeit und Männlichkeit werden nicht allein durch den anatomisch-biologischen Diskurs (‚Sex‘) definiert, sondern auch durch Rollenangebote wie z.B. Kleidercodes und Verhaltensnormen. Die Gender Studies legen den Fokus auf diese soziale Konstruktion von Geschlecht (‚Gender‘). Dieses dynamische und mittlerweile institutionalisierte Forschungsfeld stellen Franziska Schößler und Lisa Wille aus literatur- und kulturwissenschaftlicher Perspektive vor. Der Band bietet eine systematische Einführung in die Gender Studies, Themen sind u.a. die Geschlechtergeschichte seit 1800, einschlägige Theorieansätze (Écriture féminine, Foucault, Butler), feministische Debatten bis zur Gegenwart (#MeToo) sowie angrenzende Felder (Queer, Men’s Studies, Postcolonial Studies, Film Studies). Zudem geht es um literatur- und kulturwissenschaftliche Lektüreverfahren sowie um Erinnerungskulturen, Kanondebatten, Schule und Didaktik, Arbeit und Ökonomie.
Remembering World War II
The book demonstrates an evidence-based approach to online memory practices of World War II. Network analysis is applied to reduce a massive and unreadable dataset of forum texts and user relations. Further, the results are combined with other text analysis methods, such as topic modeling and contrastive stylometric analyses. A sample of discussions from each group is read and categorized. Based on the results, the forum users‘ memory practices are labelled as empirical, conversational and conservational practices, whereby recent theoretical developments in Memory Studies are considered.
German #MeToo
Responding to the worldwide impact of the #MeToo movement, this volume investigates not only the ubiquity of sexual abuse and sexual violence but also the transhistorical and transnational failure to hold perpetrators accountable. From a range of disciplines, the collected essays engage current cultural and political discourses about systemic sexism, feminist theory and practice, and gender-based discrimination from an academic and activist perspective. The focus on national cultures of German-speaking Europe from the mid-eighteenth century to the present captures the persistence of normalized and institutionalized sexism, reframed through the lens of a contemporary political and social move...

Representing Social Precarity in German Literature and Film
Using Germany as a national case study, this volume examines the historical genesis of precarity, its evolution from 19th-century industrial modernity to the present, and its reflections and reconfigurations in artistic production, in particular with relation to work, gender, and sexuality. “Precarity is everywhere now,” sociologist Pierre Bourdieu declared almost thirty years ago. Not only declining middle-class standards of living, but also debt, drug addiction, housing and food insecurity, depression, and “deaths of despair” are now being recognized as symptoms of the downward pull of social precarity. Although these and similar ills have been attributed to neoliberal policies of ...
