mensch l ich sein. Life is a Story - story.one
"Mensch l ich sein" behandelt die Themen Queerness, Faschismus, kollektive und persönliche Verantwortung - sie haben immer noch das Potenzial, Unbehagen auszulösen. Aber genau deshalb ist es so wichtig, dass sie angesprochen werden. Nur so können wir unser Umfeld lebenswerter für Folgegenerationen hinterlassen, als wir es vorgefunden haben. Nie wieder ist jetzt.
Männer und Zerbrechlichkeiten. Life is a Story - story.one
Was ist Männlichkeit? Gibt es mehr als eine? Wer entscheidet darüber? Und wo findet ein trans Mann bei alledem seinen Platz? "Männer und Zerbrechlichkeiten" erzählt in kleinen Kurzgeschichten von einer Integration in Männerwelten sowie Ausbrüche aus festgefahrenen, männlichen Stereotypen. Dieses kleine Buch hat keinen Anspruch auf Vollständigkeit - es geht vielmehr darum, kleine Einblicke des Weges eines trans Mannes zu seiner zarten Männlichkeit zu erzählen.
Das Selbstbestimmungsgesetz
Im Zuge der politischen und medialen Debatten um das geplante Selbstbestimmungsgesetz, welches das Transsexuellengesetz ablösen soll, findet ein Ringen um die Selbst- und Fremdbestimmung des Geschlechts statt. Dies kann exemplarisch für den Widerstreit von geschlechterbinären und geschlechterpluralen Lebensformen verstanden werden. Annette und Waldemar Vanagas zeigen anhand der nunmehr vier Jahre andauernden Diskurse auf, wie identitätspolitische Bestrebungen um das Geschlechterwissen und eine daraus abgeleitete gesellschaftliche Ordnung zu neuen Prekarisierungen führen. So wird der vermeintliche Konsens auf Ebene der Identitätspolitik dabei zumeist auf dem Rücken transgeschlechtlicher Menschen ausgetragen.

After the Wall
Jana Hensel was thirteen on November 9, 1989, the night the Berlin Wall fell. In all the euphoria over German reunification, no one stopped to think what it would mean for Jana and her generation of East Germans. These were the kids of the seventies, who had grown up in the shadow of Communism with all its hokey comforts: the Young Pioneer youth groups, the cheerful Communist propaganda, and the comforting knowledge that they lived in a Germany unblemished by an ugly Nazi past and a callous capitalist future. Suddenly everything was gone. East Germany disappeared, swallowed up by the West, and in its place was everything Jana and her friends had coveted for so long: designer clothes, pop CDs...

The Early Modern Ottomans
Publisher description
The Transmission of Culture in Early Modern Europe
The Transmission of Culture in Early Modern Europe focuses on the ways in which culture is moved from one generation or group to another, not by exact replication but by accretion or revision. The contributors to the volume each consider how the passing of historical information is an organic process that allows for the transformation of previously accepted truth. The volume covers a broad and fascinating scope of subjects presented by leading scholars. Anthony Grafton's contribution on the fifteenth-century forger Annius of Viterbo emphasizes the role of imagination in the classical revival; Lisa Jardine demonstrates the way in which Erasmus helped turn a technical and rebarbative book by Rudolph Agricola into a sixteenth-century success story; Alan Charles Kors finds the roots of Enlightenment atheism in the works of French Catholic theologians; Donald R. Kelley follows the legal idea of "custom" from its formulation by the ancients to its assimilation into the modern social sciences; and Lawrence Stone shows how changes in legal action against female adultery between 1670 and 1857 reflect basic shifts in English moral values.
Translatio Studiorum
The present volume collects seventeen case studies that characterize the various kinds of translationes within European culture over the last two millennia. Intellectual identities establish themselves by means of a continuous translation and rethinking of previous meanings—a sequence of translations and transformations in the transmission of knowledge from one intellectual context to another. This book provides a view on a wide range of texts from ancient Greece to Rome, from the Medieval world to the Renaissance, indicating how the process of translatio studiorum evolves as a continuous transposition of texts, of the ways in which they are rewritten, their translations, interpretations and metamorphosis, all of which are crucial to a full understanding of intellectual history.
Europe Observed
This interdisciplinary work engages with the issue of how Europe and Europeans were perceived by observers from various parts of the world during the early modern period.
