Dundalk
Dundalk of today was born in 1895 when an Irish businessman affixed a handmade sign to a newly constructed freight station, proclaiming the name of this Baltimore County community. From then on, the area developed into a hotbed of industry and military activity. The Pennsylvania Steel Company fired up its blast furnaces at Sparrows Point. Brickmakers Burns and Russell, whose firm dates back to 1790, began manufacturing on a 125-acre parcel near what is now Logan Village. During the War of 1812, British forces invaded Patapsco Neck and were repelled by local militia. People lucky enough to make Dundalk their home over the years have fond memories of Riverview Park on Colgate Creek, a popular ...

Apocalypse Now?
Die Johannesapokalypse wurde als Buch universaler Hoffnung in den neutestamentlichen Kanon aufgenommen. Wie aber wurde aus seiner prophetischen trostvollen Hoffnungsbotschaft ein Buch kosmologischer Schrecken und Weltuntergangsszenarien, das »Apokalypse« als Steigerung von »Katastrophe« auffassen lässt? Die Beiträge des Bandes, die aus einem gemeinsam veranstalteten interdisziplinären Seminar des Gräzisten Thomas Paulsen und des Neutestamentlers Stefan Alkier hervorgegangen sind, thematisieren die Reduktion der Johannesapokalypse auf ein Katastrophenbuch von Dante Alighieri über Martin Luther bis hin zu Terry Pratchett und dem Videospiel Darksiders.

Mémoires de mode
Le Palais Galliera, édifié de 1878 à 1894 pour accueillir les collections de Marie Brignole-Sale, duchesse de Galliera, devient - au début de ce siècle - le premier musée d'art décoratif de la ville de Paris. Ce n’est qu’en 1977, que s’y installe le musée de la Mode et du Costume. Aujourd'hui, après le nouvel aménagement de ses réserves et de ses ateliers, le musée explique sa démarche, fait le point sur ses collections, découvre ses coulisses : photographie d'un musée de mode en pleine évolution.
Post-Conflict Central American Literature
Post-Conflict Central American Literature: Searching for Home and Longing to Belong studies often-overlooked contemporary poetry. Through the exploration of poetry and a select number of short stories, this book contemplates the meanings of home, belonging, and the homeland in post-conflict, globalizing, and neoliberal El Salvador, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica. Aparicio analyzes literary representations of and meditations on the current conditions as well as the recent pasts of Central American homelands. Additionally, the book highlights aesthetic renditions of home at the same time that it engages with and is grounded in contemporary Central American cultures, politics, and societies. In effect, this book contests hegemonic and apparently commonsense views that assert that globalization produces global citizenship and globalized experiences. Instead it argues that a palpable desire for home and belonging survives and thrives in rapidly globalizing Central American homelands.
