Remembering Africa
"This is the first comprehensive study of contemporary German literature's intense engagement with German colonialism and with Germany's wider involvement in European colonialism. Building on the author's decade of research and publication in the field, the book discusses some fifty novels by German, Swiss, and Austrian writers, among them Hans Christoph Buch, Alex Capus, Christof Hamann, Lukas Hartmann, Ilona Maria Hilliges, Giselher W. Hoffmann, Dieter Kühn, Hermann Schulz, Gerhard Seyfried, Thomas von Steinaecker, Uwe Timm, Ilija Trojanow, and Stephan Wackwitz. Drawing on international postcolonial theory, the German tradition of cross-cultural literary studies, and on memory studies, the book brings the hitherto neglected German case to the international debate in postcolonial literary studies"--Publisher website, July 5, 2013.
Prüfen im Kontext kompetenzorientierter Hochschulbildung
Prüfungen sind zentraler Bestandteil des Alltags von Lehrenden und Studierenden an Hochschulen und Universitäten. Folglich müssen bei der Diskussion rund um die Qualität des Lehrens und Lernens auch Prüfungen berücksichtigt werden. Kompetenzorientiertes Prüfen an Universitäten bedeutet, die Frage zu adressieren, ob Studierende Kompetenzen in einer Art und Weise entwickelt haben, die sie zur Lösung relevanter Probleme befähigt. Durch die COVID-19-Pandemie waren viele Lehrende gezwungen, ihre Lehre umzustrukturieren und Online-Formate ebenfalls für Prüfungen zu nutzen. Dadurch haben schon länger virulente wissenschaftliche Diskurse zu Online-Lehre und zu Online-Prüfungen ein neues Momentum und neue Brisanz erhalten. In 13 Beiträgen beschäftigen sich die Autor:innen mit theoretischen Grundlagen unterschiedlicher Prüfungsformate und nehmen Bezug auf praktische Beispiele unterschiedlicher Fachbereiche.
Christian Social Ethics
World events have made clear that liberal society must become more resilient in the face of totalitarian challenges. But how is liberal society to do that? In this groundbreaking work, social ethicist Elmar Nass presents the ethical and anthropological foundations of a liberal social order within a Christian conception of humanity and society in an ecumenical spirit. In doing so, Nass revives the long-neglected discussion on the ethics of order. Christian foundations and claims are currently confronted with alternative social-ethical concepts from other religions, traditions, and social philosophies. Nass argues that Christian social ethics has a critical role to play as it engages the world...

"Sculpting Simulacra in Medieval Germany, 1250-1380 "
Engaging with the imaginative, nonreligious response to Gothic sculpture in German-speaking lands and tracing high and late medieval notions of the ?living statue? and the simulacrum in religious, lay, and travel literature, this study explores the subjective and intuitive potential inherent in thirteenth- and fourteenth-century sculpture. It addresses a range of works, from the oeuvre of the so-called Naumburg Master through Freiburg-im-Breisgau to the imperial art of Vienna and Prague. As living simulacra, the sculptures offer themselves to the imaginative horizons of their viewers as factual presences that substitute for the real. In perceiving Gothic sculpture as a conscious alternative ...
Biofunctional Textiles and the Skin
In recent years the development of new technologies has permitted the production of 'functional' or 'smart' textiles. These fabrics are capable of sensing changes in environmental conditions or body functions and are adequately responding to them. They are able to absorb substances from the skin or to release therapeutic or cosmetic compounds. For instance, they can be used in underwear with an integrated cardio-online system or as textiles with carrier molecules. The focal point of interest in biofunctional textiles lies currently on the use of textiles supporting therapy and prevention in dermatology. This volume collects information about new trends in the interaction between textiles and the skin, particularly the development of antimicrobial finished textiles. It presents a selection of papers which will contribute to further consolidate the dialogue between dermatologists, allergologists, biomaterial scientists and textile engineers.
