The Meritocratic Promise of Classical Liberalism
In an era of Market Triumphalism, this book follows the quest to address a myriad of prominent socio-economic pathologies in Western democracies – such as skyrocketing financial inequality, marketization, hereditary privileges, as well as dysfunctional types of merit-based justice – without surrendering their liberal foundation altogether in favor of an entirely different political framework. The author argues that classical liberalism should be regarded as a valuable doctrine worth keeping, and that the liberal tradition is not inevitably destined to succumb into the neoliberal and increasingly plutocratic as well as nepotistic manifestation responsible for the growing discontentment wi...

Objects and Organisms
The interrelations between objects and organisms take many forms, from the microbes known to inhabit medieval manuscripts to the biomorphic forms observable in Art Nouveau lamps, and from the androids cast in American superhero comics to the coral found on Chinese porcelain recovered from shipwrecks. The contributions to this volume investigate various interactions between inanimate and animate matter in art, literature, technology, and other areas of human perception and expression. The book highlights how certain characteristics allow objects to be understood as living organisms, and vice versa. Via a range of dynamics involving vivification and reification, objects and organisms emerge as unstable, transforming within evolving situations. Innovative, interdisciplinary object-scientific contribution to critical ecology From the early modern period into the 21st century

Encyclopedia of German Literature
Designed to provide English readers of German literature the opportunity to familiarize themselves with both the established canon and newly emerging literatures that reflect the concerns of women and ethnic minorities, the Encyclopedia of German Literature includes more than 500 entries on writers, individual work, and topics essential to an understanding of this rich literary tradition. Drawing on the expertise of an international group of experts, the essays in the encyclopedia reflect developments of the latest scholarship in German literature, culture, and history and society. In addition to the essays, author entries include biographies and works lists; and works entries provide information about first editions, selected critical editions, and English-language translations. All entries conclude with a list of further readings.
Die Okkupation Griechenlands im Zweiten Weltkrieg
In Griechenland erinnert man sich bis heute an die deutsche Besatzung der Jahre 1941–1944, im deutschen Gedächtnis hingegen ist dieses Kriegsgeschehen vergessen oder wird beschwiegen. Die Asymmetrie der Vergangenheitsbewältigungen wird mehr als deutlich, wenn man, wie es die Beiträgerinnen und Beiträger dieses Buches getan haben, den beiden Erinnerungskulturen im öffentlichen Bewusstsein, in der Literatur und den Medien nachspürt. Vor allem in Krisenzeiten boomt das Klischee, doch der europäische Alltag mit seinen deutsch-griechischen Arbeits-, Familien- und Kulturbeziehungen setzt sich fort. Das Buch legt die interdisziplinären Grundlagen für eine überfällige Aufarbeitung und ein tragfähiges und dauerhaftes Geschichtsbewusstsein in beiden Ländern.

Die Wirtschaftsinformatik im internationalen Wettbewerb
Carola Schauer untersucht, ob Wirtschaftsinformatik für eine Stärkung ihrer Position im internationalen Wettbewerb ihre traditionell konstruktionsorientierte Ausrichtung zugunsten einer primär empirischen Forschung nach nordamerikanischem Vorbild aufgeben sollte.
