Hitler′s Prisons - Legal Terror in Nazi Germany
State prisons played an indispensable part in the terror of the Third Reich, incarcerating many hundreds of thousands of men and women during the Nazi era. This important book illuminates the previously unknown world of Nazi prisons, their victims, and the judicial and penal officials who built and operated this system of brutal legal terror. Nikolaus Wachsmann describes the operation and function of legal terror in the Third Reich and brings Nazi prisons to life through the harrowing stories of individual inmates. Drawing on a vast array of archival materials, he traces the series of changes in prison policies and practice that led eventually to racial terror, brutal violence, slave labor, starvation, and mass killings. Wachsmann demonstrates that "ordinary" legal officials were ready collaborators who helped to turn courts and prisons into key components in the Nazi web of terror. And he concludes with a discussion of the whitewash of the Nazi legal system in postwar West Germany.
Shifting Paradigms in Contemporary German Politics and Policy
Germany has undergone more change in the past two years than it has experienced in decades. In the fall of 2021, the Social Democratic Party unexpectedly surged to first place in the Bundestag elections, going on to lead a coalition of SPD, Greens, and Free Democrats that promised to “dare more progress” domestically. Then just two months after the new government was installed, Russia invaded Ukraine. The contributions in this volume investigate the altered state of German politics and predict the trajectory of Europe’s leading power in the transformed geopolitical environment.
The Rigging of a (2014) Vatican Synod?
Intrigue or inexperience? Did key leaders of the recent Extraordinary Synod of Bishops try to manipulate the outcome to support a change in Catholic practice and perhaps in Catholic teaching on divorce and remarriage and same-sex activity? Did they undermine Pope Francis' vision of an "open" discussion? Critics claim Cardinal Baldissieri, the man Pope Francis trusted to oversee the Synod’s discussion of family issues, along with some of his associates, tried to predetermine the outcome of the Synod’s deliberations and its documents. Supporters say Cardinal Baldissieri was inexperienced at running a synod and any missteps were innocent mistakes. International reporter and analyst Edward Pentin investigates the allegations, accusations, and facts surrounding the controversial meeting of select bishops of the world.
Populist Rhetorics
This book proposes a unified approach to populism that sees it as a primarily rhetorical concept. Populism is on the rise worldwide with both populist leaders and movements gaining power, and the term “populism” resounds in political debate, journalism, and scholarship. Populism as a phenomenon seems to instantiate perennial issues besetting rhetoric (e.g., the charges of manipulation, exclusive reliance on opinion over knowledge, and abuse of emotional appeals), yet relatively little research on populism has emerged from the discipline of rhetoric. This volume investigates the theory and practice of populism under the heading of rhetoric but as an interdisciplinary effort involving scho...

Sensing the City
The city is more than demography and architecture, it is a state of mind. Various groups, scenes and subcultures, widely known as "man in the street", shape and are shaped by urban space and its history according to imaginations, nightmares and dreams. Urban anthropologists get immersed in this closely knit fabric of urban culture and conduct field research with all their senses. The reader provides a compact introduction into urban anthropology, which has become the key discipline in exploring cities and city live as sites of encounter, conflict and sensation. It introduces the most influential writers in the field as well as young and upcoming field researchers.With essays by PeterJackson, LesBack, RuthBehar, MoritzEge, RolfLindner, Mirko Zardini, Margarethe Kusenbach, Loic Wacquant.
Die Sarrazin-Debatte
Die Auseinandersetzung mit Thilo Sarrazins Anliegen ist für viele politisch Denkende wesentlich, für die ZEIT aber ist sie unerlässlich. Denn der Beamte, dann Politiker, schließlich Banker und nun erstmal Privatier Sarrazin ist von dieser Zeitung seit bald 40 Jahren begleitet worden, punktuell am Anfang, mit wachsender Bedeutung seiner Aufgaben und Ämter zunehmend enger - und kritischer. Dieses Buch bietet einen umfassenden Überblick über den Verlauf der Sarrazin-Debatte und ihrer Hintergründe, beginnend mit der Erwähnung eines Buches Thilo Sarrazins in der Rubrik Neuerscheinungen im September 1974. ZEIT-Autoren wie Bernd Ulrich, Özlem Topçu oder Jörg Lau haben die Konfrontation nicht gescheut. Zusammen mit einer Fülle von Beiträgen von und Interviews mit Thilo Sarrazin, die in der ZEIT erschienen sind, trägt die Dokumentation zu einer unvoreingenommenen und objektiven Sichtweise und Versachlichung der Diskussion bei.
Freiheit, Ordnung und Gemeinwohl
Schuster, bleib bei deinen Leisten? Angeregt durch den Diskurs der Reformation begannen sich Handwerker in den Reichsstädten intensiv mit theologischen und tagespolitischen Tehmen auseinanderzusetzen. Uta Dehnert analysiert anhand der Meisterlieder von Hans Sachs, wie ein theologischer Laie des 16. Jahrhunderts reformatorische Ideen verstanden und diese in sein konkretes alltäglishes Leben übersetzt hat.
Philosophiedidaktik und empirische Bildungsforschung
Wer empirische Forschungsmethoden innerhalb der Philosophiedidaktik generell zurückweist, versäumt zwischen dem Wert der Philosophie und der Güte ihrer Vermittlung zu differenzieren. Vielmehr geht es darum, innovative Forschungszugänge zu nutzen, ohne die Aufgaben und Inhalte der Fachdidaktik auf empirische Formate zu reduzieren. Die vorliegende Arbeit analysiert die bisherigen empirischen Forschungsprojekte und das konzeptionelle Selbstverständnis der Philosophiedidaktik. Auf dieser Basis werden Möglichkeiten und Grenzen einer empirisch-philosophiedidaktischen Bildungsforschung expliziert. (Quelle: Homepage des Verlags).
