The Soul in the Axiosphere from an Intercultural Perspective, Volume One
The essays collected in this volume form a multifaceted discourse on religious, philosophical, historical, ethnocultural and sociocultural, literary and linguistic issues. A multicultural approach to the problem of the soul allows the presentation of it on a microscale, focused on national and regional specificity, as well as on the macroscale, oriented toward universal values which can be observed in the cultures of peoples distant from each other in both time and space. The book consists of 28 chapters, addressing the fundamental themes of human existence, which find expression in cultural texts in both colloquial and artistic language, and which have a prominent place in anthropological, psychological, metaphysical and theological debates.

Past and Present Lithuanian Polyphonic Sutartinės Songs
Sutartinės, the especially ancient form of, often sacred, Lithuanian music, is enjoying a renaissance, mostly in Lithuania’s cities. Since UNESCO recognized these unique dissonant sounds originating from Lithuania’s Aukštaitija ‘Uplands’ ethnographic region as part of our Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2010, in-depth studies have flourished. This book presents the latest analogies discovered in distant examples of the genesis and ethnogenesis of foreign folk music examples, not only in neighboring lands but as far away as the Ainu subculture of Japan. It presents the latest findings and analyses of the hymns once said to be conveyed by laumės, mythical beings later demoted to witches during this music’s demise. This study supplements perceptions from Lithuanian and foreign ethno-musicologists with data from ethnology, archaeology, linguistics and other sciences and areas of scholarship, and thereby encourages even more studies in this field.
Quantum Shift
While the field of science has made incredible advances in the past century, and more and more scientists have gone to great lengths to make these developments accessible to the public, we still rarely hear ministers and communities of faith discussing the implications of these developments for the life of faith. Quantum Shift explores recent developments in science from relativity to quantum mechanics to cosmology and then suggests ways in which people of faith might engage these scientific developments to foster their understanding of God and what it means to be part of the world we believe God created. Heidi Ann Russell demonstrates how these scientific developments offer us new and exciting images that spark our theological imaginations and reinvigorate our spiritual lives. Includes Illustrations

Crisis and the Arts: Dada, the coordinates of cultural politics
Launches an eight-volume series on the rebellious art form created during World War I by artists and writers in Zurich reacting to the horror of war, the onslaught of new technology, and the stifling aesthetics of futurism and cubism. In 11 essays, provides parameters for the historical and sociological context of the movement; its manifestation in visual arts, theater, the media, and literature; the correspondence between the actual works and the various manifestos; and the relevance of studying the phenomenon to present concerns. Illustrated in black and white. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.
A New Theory in the Philosophy and History of Three Twentieth-century Styles in Art
There is much controversy about the nature of styles: modernism, postmodernism, and surrealism. This book counters the notion that the style terms, modern, postmodern, and surreal, have no non-trivial meaning or that we cannot tell the differences between modernist, postmodernist, and surrealist styles. The author dispenses with a commonly held idea that these styles cannot be present together in one and the same work of art.
Karl Mays "Ardistan und Dschinnistan"
Mit seinem zweibändigen Roman Ardistan und Dschinnistan hat Karl May ein symbolisch-allegorisches Schreiben verwirklicht, dass in seiner literarischen Qualität und epischen Geschlossenheit in keinem anderen seiner späten Erzählwerke offenbar wird. Somit markiert das Werk seine künstlerische Progression vom Reiseschriftsteller zum visionären Dichter und ist zugleich das Paradigma des "anderen" May geworden, an dem sich die Geister der (populären und kritischen) Rezeption zwischen Unverständnis und Bewunderung bis heute geschieden haben. Auf diese Weise hat die Erzählung den Anspruch legitim werden lassen, zumindest den späten May aus den Niederungen der Trivialliteratur zu befreien und in den Kanon der Hochliteratur aufzunehmen. Dieser Studienband versammelt 13 knappe, pointierte Beiträge namhafter Wissenschaftler und May-Kenner, die die zum Teil schwer zu erschließende Symbolik und vielschichtige Handlung von Ardistan und Dschinnistan aufschlussreich analysieren.Die hiermit vorliegende zweite Auflage gibt anhand einer aktualisierten Bibliographie Überblick über den derzeitigen Forschungsstand.
