In interdisciplinary projects and research collaborations, participants face multiple demands. However, these expectations encounter a reality that is characterized by time pressure, high demands in one's own discipline, and often increasingly administrative tasks. What can meaningful interdisciplinary work look like in an academic environment? What tasks and constraints do researchers face? And, considering the range of disciplines involved, how can interdisciplinary research projects be designed in a successful way? How does one meaningfully bring different disciplines, their methods, and theories into conversation with each other across the spatial and temporal distance of their subjects?...
Ritual und Ritualisierung sind zu zentralen Begriffen der Kultur- und Gesellschaftswissenschaften geworden. Das Buch zeigt, warum es fruchtbar ist, weder Ritual und Religion gleichzusetzen noch den Begriff der Religion einfach fallen zu lassen. Religion als kommunikatives Handeln zu verstehen, lässt Ritual als eine Form des Zuhörens auf die Welt und als eine Form der Veränderung der Welt begreifen. Dieses Buch will nicht in erster Linie einen Theorie-Beitrag liefern, sondern in der exemplarischen Analyse verschiedenster Rituale die Fruchtbarkeit eines Zugriffs vorführen, der Elemente klassischer Ritualtheorien mit neueren Religionsbegriffen sowie mit dem Grundgedanken der wechselseitigen Konstituierung von Subjekten und Objekten verknüpft.

With a tradition of more than fifty years (the first two volumes, covering the years 1939-1947, were published in 1949-1950), Bibliographie Linguistique is by far the most comprehensive bibliography in the field. It covers all branches of linguistics, both theoretical and descriptive, from all geographical areas, including less known and extinct languages, with particular attention to the many endangered languages of the world. Up-to-date information is guaranteed by the collaboration of some forty contributing specialists from all over the world. With over 20,000 titles arranged according to a detailed state-of-the-art classification, Bibliographie Linguistique remains the standard reference book for every scholar of language and linguistics.
In this 2007 volume, eighteen of the world's leading scholars present original essays on various aspects of atheism: its history, both ancient and modern, defense and implications. The topic is examined in terms of its implications for a wide range of disciplines including philosophy, religion, feminism, postmodernism, sociology and psychology. In its defense, both classical and contemporary theistic arguments are criticized, and, the argument from evil, and impossibility arguments, along with a non religious basis for morality are defended. These essays give a broad understanding of atheism and a lucid introduction to this controversial topic.
This handbook is a pioneering edited volume, exploring atheism - understood in the broad sense of 'an absence of belief in the existence of a God or gods' - in its historical and contemporary expressions. It probes the varied manifestations and implications of unbelief from an array of disciplinary perspectives and in a range of global contexts.
