Unbewusstes in bikulturellen Liebesbeziehungen - am Beispiel westlich-schiitisch-islamischer Kultur
Bikulturelle Liebesbeziehungen sind aus psychologischer Sicht besonderer Ausdruck von Heterogenität eines Individuums. Diese unbewusste Prägung muss ihre Dynamik voll entfalten und sich zu bewusst Erlebbarem entwickeln, um dem aus dem Verstoß gegen das Endogamiegebot resultierenden Konflikt mit der Gesellschaft standzuhalten. Die Autorin stellt in der vorliegenden Publikation die Persönlichkeitsstrukturen von Partnern interkultureller Liebesbeziehungen anhand von literarischen Beispielen aus Amor und Psyche von Apuleius, dem persischen Märchen Grünkappe, Andersens Die kleine Seejungfrau und der Science-Fiction-Erzählung Die Trägheit des Auges dar. Den Schwerpunkt legt sie auf westlich-schiitisch-islamische Partnerschaften. Im Rahmen einer psychologischen Analyse des Romans Nicht ohne meine Tochter von Betty Mahmoody zeigt sie die Verflechtungen und das Konfliktpotential innerhalb solcher Beziehungen auf.
The Doubly Green Revolution
Today more than three quarters of a billion people go hungry in a world where food is plentiful. A distinguished scientist here sets out an agenda for addressing this situation. Initially published in 1997 in the United Kingdom, the book is now available in the first edition produced for the Western hemisphere. In it, the author has updated information to reflect current economic indicators. This volume includes a foreword written for the previous edition by Ismail Serageldin of the World Bank. The original Green Revolution produced new technologies for farmers, creating food abundance. A second transformation of agriculture is now required—specifically, Gordon Conway argues, a "doubly green" revolution that stresses conservation as well as productivity. He calls for researchers and farmers to forge genuine partnerships in an effort to design better plants and animals. He also urges them to develop (or rediscover) alternatives to inorganic fertilizers and pesticides, improve soil and water management, and enhance earning opportunities for the poor, especially women.
Islam in Liberalism
Joseph Massad s "Desiring Arabs" (UCP, 2007) was an intellectual/literary history that sought out links between Orientalism and representations of sex and desire, rebutting in the meantime Western efforts to impose categories of heterosexual/homosexual where (in Islam) no such subjectivities exist. His new book broadens the purview to show us what Islam has become in today s world, attending fully to the multiplication of meanings of Islam. Islam in Liberalism is an intellectual/political history, enabling us to understand that history in terms of how Islam operated as a category within western liberalism; another way to phrase this is to say that Massad underscores how the anxieties about w...
Plant Cytogenetics
This reference book provides information on plant cytogenetics for students, instructors, and researchers. Topics covered by international experts include classical cytogenetics of plant genomes; plant chromosome structure; functional, molecular cytology; and genome dynamics. In addition, chapters are included on several methods in plant cytogenetics, informatics, and even laboratory exercises for aspiring or practiced instructors. The book provides a unique combination of historical and modern subject matter, revealing the central role of plant cytogenetics in plant genetics and genomics as currently practiced. This breadth of coverage, together with the inclusion of methods and instruction, is intended to convey a deep and useful appreciation for plant cytogenetics. We hope it will inform and inspire students, researchers, and teachers to continue to employ plant cytogenetics to address fundamental questions about the cytology of plant chromosomes and genomes for years to come. Hank W. Bass is a Professor in the Department of Biological Science at Florida State University. James A. Birchler is a Professor in the Division of Biological Sciences at the University of Missouri.
Islam and Secularism in Post-Colonial Thought
This book is a theoretically and historically informed exploration of 'secularism' in Muslim contexts. It does this through a critical assessment of an influential tradition of thinking about Islam and secularism, derived from the work of anthropologist Talal Asad and his followers. The study employs the tools of comparative historical sociology and sociology of knowledge to engage with the assumptions of Asadian theory. Ultimately, Enayat argues against nativist assertions drawn from the experience of Western modernity and provides a qualified defense of secularism.
The Origins of Fairness
Develops further John Rawls' intuition that our sense of justice is rooted in our evolutionary past and presents a new theory of morality based on evolutionary biology.
