Literature and the War on Terror
This book examines cultural imaginations post 9/11. It explores the idea of a religious community and its multifaceted representations in literature and popular culture. The essays in the volume focus on the role of literature, film, music, television shows and other cultural forms in opening up spaces for complex reflections on identities and cultures, and how they enable us to rethink the ‘trauma of familiarity’, post-traumatic heterotopias, religious extremism and the idea of the ‘neighbour’ in post-9/11 literary and cultural imagination. The volume also probes the intersections of religion, popular media, televised simulacrum and digital martyrdom in the wake of 9/11. It also pro...
The Influence of the 9/11 novel on Muslim Writing
Scientific Essay from the year 2017 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Literature, Works, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, language: English, abstract: Since 9/11 many Muslims struggle with their identity and are exposed to xenophobia, violence, vicious defamation, harassment or displacement.

The logical consequence from this was that Muslim writing as such has become more complex stressing the standpoints of hearer and teller as elements of d...
Courage
Gerade in der heutigen Zeit braucht es couragierte Menschen, die mutig für ihre Sache einstehen! Niklaus Kuster und Sarah Gaffuri haben sich in ihren Kurzporträts nicht nur auf die Suche nach Perlen spiritueller und mystischer Erfahrung gemacht. Sie stellen prägende, für die gesamte Menschheit unentbehrliche Persönlichkeiten vor, von denen wir besonders in unseren Tagen zehren: Lichtgestalten wie Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, Jeanne d'Arc und Malala Yousafzai. Dabei werden Frauen wie Männer in ausgewogenem Verhältnis dargestellt; sie setzten sich für Humanität und Menschenwürde ein, weisen Wege einer weitherzigen Religiosität und prägten die Welt mit ihren Visionen. Darin, wie sie ihren Weg gingen, setzten sie Leuchtzeichen in Kunst und Kultur, Politik und Weltgestaltung, trugen mit Entdeckungen und Erfindungen zum Fortschritt bei und ermutigen zu Widerstand, wo immer Menschen, Gesellschaft und die Schöpfung unterdrückt wurden und werden.

Mathematical Modeling, Simulation and Optimization for Power Engineering and Management
This edited monograph offers a summary of future mathematical methods supporting the recent energy sector transformation. It collects current contributions on innovative methods and algorithms. Advances in mathematical techniques and scientific computing methods are presented centering around economic aspects, technical realization and large-scale networks. Over twenty authors focus on the mathematical modeling of such future systems with careful analysis of desired properties and arising scales. Numerical investigations include efficient methods for the simulation of possibly large-scale interconnected energy systems and modern techniques for optimization purposes to guarantee stable and reliable future operations. The target audience comprises research scientists, researchers in the R&D field, and practitioners. Since the book highlights possible future research directions, graduate students in the field of mathematical modeling or electrical engineering may also benefit strongly.
