Social and Behavioral Research and the Internet
Highlighting the progress made by researchers in using Web-based surveys for data collection, this timely volume summarizes the experiences of leading behavioral and social scientists from Europe and the US who collected data using the Internet.

A number of contributors applied innovative Web-based research methods to the LISS panel of CentERdata collected from over 5,000 Dutch households. Their findings are presented in the book. Some of the data is available on the book website. The book addresses practical issues...
Victims and Perpetrators: 1933-1945
This volume examines the politics of history and memory in Germany today through a review and analysis of seminal developments in the current discourse on 1933 – 1945. An interdisplicinary work, this book examines questions of representing the past from the perspective of literary studies, social psychology, film studies, history, and cultural studies. Themes include transgenerational memory and remembrance, the air war and German literature, commemoration and silences, transnational reconciliation, and historical consciousness in the German present. The collected essays make clear that as the current discourse contributes toward an historically informed, differentiated understanding of individuals’ roles in the Third Reich and World War Two, victim and perpetrator identities cannot be defined as exclusive from one another. The discourse emphasizes personal over collective experience and answers questions of responsibility and guilt on the individual level.
Der Essentielle Marcel Proust
Ziel dieser zweibändigen Darstellung meiner Lektüreerfahrungen mit Marcel Prousts 'Auf der Suche nach der verlorenen Zeit' ist es, den Zugang zu einem der wichtigsten und schönsten Romane der Weltliteratur zu erleichtern, Interesse am originalen Text zu wecken und Lust darauf machen, sich (bei Gefallen) diesem zuzu-wenden. Im Zentrum dieses zweiten Teils steht das Drama von Marcel und Albertine -- das Drama einer anfangs bangen, dann zunehmend von Eifersucht und Misstrauen geprägten einseitigen, weil unerwiderten Liebe. Offen bleibt, ob Albertine ihren Freund Marcel eigentlich liebt oder doch eher an Frauen als an Männern interessiert ist. Offen bleibt auch, ob Marcel (der Ich-Erzähler...

Die Figur der Françoise in Marcel Prousts "À la recherche du temps perdu"
Marcel Proust besitzt eine ganz besondere Beziehung zu Dienstboten; gleiches trifft auf das Erzähler-Ich Marcel im Werk A la recherche du temps perdu zu. Die vorliegende Arbeit spürt der Rolle und Funktion der Dienerin Françoise im Text der Recherche nach. Die Studie offenbart dabei Françoise als zentrale Figur, über deren Untersuchung ins Kunstverständnis des Erzählers vorgedrungen werden kann. Im Rahmen einer umfassenden Darstellung des literargeschichtlichen Kontextes eröffnet sie über motivwissenschaftliche Vergleiche mit Texten von Molière, Marivaux, Balzac, Flaubert, Goncourt, Zola und Maupassant auch intertextuelle Lesarten und gibt Aufschlüsse über das Verhältnis Prousts zu diesen Autoren. Von der Autorin liegt bereits ein Beitrag zur Figur der Françoise vor, der im Mitteilungsorgan der Marcel Proust Gesellschaft PROUSTIANA (Bd. XXII, 1. Aufl. 2003) im Insel-Verlag erschienen ist.
Media of Reason
Matthias Vogel challenges the belief that reason is determined solely by our discursive, linguistic abilities as communicative beings. In his view, the medium of language is not the only force of reason, that music, art and other nonlinguistic forms of communication are also significant.
Animals and Humans in German Literature, 1800-2000
The recent emergence of the discipline of literary animal studies regards literature in itself as constitutive element of a history of knowledge. The discipline has led not only to the expansion of the corpus of texts traditionally connected with animals, but also established new concepts and methods for revising conventional cultural dichotomies (subject and object, human and animal). The 10 essays collected in this volume are devoted to a wide range of case studies on the relationship between animality and poetics in German-language literature since the 19th century. They display a variety of theoretical and methodological approaches to a number of texts packed with references to animals, considered not primarily as objects of literature, but as agents endowed with an active role in the production of literature, and which have left repressed or forgotten traces in texts.
