The Grammar of Hate
Bringing together research from a global team of scholars, this innovative volume explores the morphosyntactic features of verbal aggression, an aspect of hate speech that has been hitherto overlooked. It will be essential reading for researchers and students of hate speech and verbal aggression.
Kant’s Theory of Value
In explicit form, Kant does not speak that much about values or goods. The reason for this is obvious: the concepts of ‘values’ and ‘goods’ are part of the eudaimonistic tradition, and he famously criticizes eudaimonism for its flawed ‘material’ approach to ethics. But he uses, on several occasions, the traditional teleological language of goods and values. Especially in the Groundwork and the Critique of Practical Reason, Kant develops crucial points on this conceptual basis. Furthermore, he implicitly discusses issues of conditional and unconditional values, subjective and objective values, aesthetic or economic values etc. In recent Kant scholarship, there has been a controversy on the question how moral and nonmoral values are related in Kant’s account of human dignity. This leads to the more fundamental problem if Kant should be seen as a prescriptvist (antirealist) or as subscribing to a more objective rational agency account of goods. This issue and several further questions are addressed in this volume.
Desintegration
Die zweite Ausgabe von Jalta hat den Themenschwerpunkt Desintegration. Unter dem Begriff Desintegration können unterschiedliche künstlerisch-ästhetische Strategien zusammengefasst werden, die die tradierten Repräsentationen jüdischer Positionen unterlaufen und transformieren. In dieser Hinsicht meint Desintegration Haltungen, die eine Differenz zur eingespielten jüdischen Opferrolle erzeugen und somit den Blick weiten für die Vielfalt neuer künstlerischer und gesellschaftlicher Perspektiven sowie vorhandener marginalisierter Narrative, die diese Opferrolle aushöhlen – wie etwa Rache, Wut, Ironie, Selbstermächtigung. Die Ausgabe versammelt wissenschaftliche, essayistische, künstl...
Einführung in die Gender Studies
Typisch Frau, typisch Mann – was heißt das eigentlich? Weiblichkeit und Männlichkeit werden nicht allein durch den anatomisch-biologischen Diskurs (‚Sex‘) definiert, sondern auch durch Rollenangebote wie z.B. Kleidercodes und Verhaltensnormen. Die Gender Studies legen den Fokus auf diese soziale Konstruktion von Geschlecht (‚Gender‘). Dieses dynamische und mittlerweile institutionalisierte Forschungsfeld stellen Franziska Schößler und Lisa Wille aus literatur- und kulturwissenschaftlicher Perspektive vor. Der Band bietet eine systematische Einführung in die Gender Studies, Themen sind u.a. die Geschlechtergeschichte seit 1800, einschlägige Theorieansätze (Écriture féminine, Foucault, Butler), feministische Debatten bis zur Gegenwart (#MeToo) sowie angrenzende Felder (Queer, Men’s Studies, Postcolonial Studies, Film Studies). Zudem geht es um literatur- und kulturwissenschaftliche Lektüreverfahren sowie um Erinnerungskulturen, Kanondebatten, Schule und Didaktik, Arbeit und Ökonomie.
Queere Räume
In queeren Räumen fühlen sich Subjekte stark, die sonst marginalisiert sind. Mittels eines imaginierten Basiskonsens und einer eigenen affektiv-ästhetischen Logik entsteht hier das Gefühl von Zuhause: Es können das zugeschriebene »being different« ausgelebt, Netzwerke geknüpft und sich gegenseitig gefeiert werden. Doch auch solche Räume sind durch Hierarchien, szene-interne Normen und Ausschlüsse strukturiert, was zu steten Aushandlungen führt. Diese sind maßgeblich an der queeren Raumproduktion und den darin entstehenden Handlungsfähigkeiten beteiligt. Esto Mader zeigt mittels diffraktiven Arbeitens die Dynamik queerer Räume und stellt fest: Fluidität ist diesen Räumen intrinsisch gegeben.
Youth Transitions
Youth and the future What will become of today’s young people in Australia, Asia, Europe, Latin America and North America? Will they be supportive of the world they live in? Or are they doomed to be criminal drop-outs? The authors investigate to which extent different and contradictory trends of social modernisation and economic progress determine the biographical development and social integration of young people in different countries and world regions. Thus, the authors look at the role young people themselves can play in the future; either as construc tive social actors or as a problematic – and partly excluded – group unable to face the challenges of a permanently changing world.
Time in Natural Language
Time in Natural Language investigates the relationship between the syntactic and semantic representations of sentences within the domain of tense. Assuming that tenses are semantically composed of three distinct times, Thompson proposes that these times map onto the syntax in a regular fashion: each time is associated with a unique syntactic head. Adopting the Minimalist approach to syntactic theory, this approach makes possible insightful analyses of syntactic structures involving temporal dependency. Thompson argues that, depending on their adjunction site, temporal adverbials modify different parts of the tense structure of the clause. Locating the Event time within VP, it is correctly pr...
The Tense System in English Relative Clauses
The future of English linguistics as envisaged by the editors of Topics in English Linguistics lies in empirical studies which integrate work in English linguistics into general and theoretical linguistics on the one hand, and comparative linguistics on the other. The TiEL series features volumes that present interesting new data and analyses, and above all fresh approaches that contribute to the overall aim of the series, which is to further outstanding research in English linguistics.
Restructuring and Functional Heads
This volume collects the recent published articles of Guglielmo Cinque of the University of Venice, one of the world's top linguists. The book is divided into two sections, the first on restructuring, a central topic in Romance syntax and with connections to other language groups as well. The second part focuses on the consequences of treating clausal functional heads as members of a universal hierarchy in the domain of morphpsyntax, offering a new perspective on many intricate problems arising in a variety of natural languages.
