Resilience in Social, Cultural and Political Spheres
Resilience is one of the most important concepts in contemporary sociology. This volume offers a broad overview over the different theories and concepts of this category focusing on the cultural and political aspects of resilience.
Family, Ties and Care
Families international – the new milestone How may care be secured—particularly in ageing societies, how may families, relatives and friends support each other and live together beyond market reasons? How can social welfare be secured? How do different countries and different cultures solve the problems they may or may not, now or in days to come, share with other countries and cultures? Families, as is found in this publication by internationally renowned experts, are the base and well of society’s fortune in a humane paradigm. Furthermore, it is the very backbone of lifelong solidarity in inter-generational relations, and the very place where the readiness of taking on care and responsibility are experienced and learned. The publication’s underlying idea opens up two perspectives: on the one hand, differences and similarities in family life forms are chiselled out on the base of an international cooperation. Simultaneously, the international authors are called upon to express their ideas about their own country’s future more distinctly and clearly; thus, distinctions and similarities of the respective paths of development are rather easily perceived.
Genealogical Fictions
Moving through time, he uncovers often-unsuspected novelistic continuities and international transformations and echoes, from Maria Edgeworth's Castle Rackrent, published in 1800, to G. Tomasi di Lampedusa's 1958 book Il Gattopardo.By revealing the "family resemblance" of novels from Great Britain, Italy, Spain, Portugal, and Brazil, this volume shows how genealogical narratives take on special significance in contexts of cultural periphery. Welge links private and public histories, while simultaneously integrating detailed accounts of various literary fields across the globe. In combining theories of the novel, recent discussions of cultural geography, and new approaches to genealogical narratives, Genealogical Fictions addresses a significant part of European and Latin American literary history in which texts from different national cultures illuminate each other in unsuspected ways and reveal the repetition, as well as the variation, among them.

Resilienz im Horizont menschlichen Handelns
Der Resilienzbegriff hat in ganz unterschiedlichen Handlungsfeldern Einzug gehalten. Dazu gehören Medizin, Psychologie, Pädagogik, Theologie oder Philosophie genauso wie Ingenieurs- oder Umweltwissenschaften, die Politik oder Security Studies. Entsprechend vielschichtig wird der Resilienzbegriff verwendet. Stets jedoch geht es darum, angesichts von Krisen oder Gefährdungsszenarien Widerstandspotenziale zu identifizieren und zu konzeptualisieren. Der vorliegende Band thematisiert unterschiedliche wissenschaftliche Zugänge zum Umgang mit Krisenerfahrungen und reflektiert ausgewählte Aspekte und Perspektiven von und auf Resilienz. Somit vertieft er den Resilienzdiskurs und entwickelt kritisch-konstruktiv einen handlungsorientierten Resilienzbegriff, der diesen in seiner praktischen Bedeutung erschließt.

Im Zentrum steht die Hebräische Bibel, ihr Vor- und Nachleben im antiken Judentum sowie ihre vielfache Verzweigung in die benachbarten Kulturen der altorientalischen und hellenistisch-römischen Welt. Die BZAW akzeptiert Manuskriptvorschläge, die einen innovativen und signifikanten Beitrag zu Erforschung des Alten Testaments und seiner Umwelt leisten, sich intensiv mit der bestehenden Forschungsliteratur auseinandersetzen, stringent aufgebaut und flüssig geschrieben sind.
