Shove Your Democracy
A macabre, eye-cutting and humiliating keyboard attack on so-called Western “democracy” and how the horrible, horrible United States in general [Part I] and in particular that US puppet regime in Germany [Part II] told us way too many lies and screwed up BIG TIME.
Religion in the Age of Re-Globalization
This book provides a concise introduction into twenty-one trends that are transforming the role of religion and spirituality in “re-globalizing” societies. In referring to processes of “re-globalization”, the book draws attention to profound ongoing changes in the patterns and mechanisms of contemporary globalization. Inter- and transdisciplinary in its approach, clearly structured, and easy to read, the book analyzes the impact of religious self-understanding, rhetoric, and practice on five core fields: economics, politics, culture, demography, and technology. In turn, it describes the effects of these five fields on religion and spirituality themselves. This book represents a broad...
LAUT
Fast täglich wird Sawsan Chebli mit Hasskommentaren und Online-Hetze überhäuft. Wenn sie sich auf Social Media äußert, in einem Interview oder mit einem Zeitungsbeitrag in die öffentliche Debatte einmischt; wenn sie sich, wie so oft, leidenschaftlich für eine diverse und inklusive Gesellschaft ausspricht, türmt sich die Flut an Hate Speech mitunter zu brutalen Shitstorms auf. Dass aus digitaler schnell körperliche Gewalt werden kann, erlebte sie ganz unmittelbar, als sie eines Tages mitten in Berlin von einem Unbekannten angegriffen wurde. Cheblis Erfahrungen stehen exemplarisch für ein besorgniserregendes, akut demokratiegefährdendes Klima neuer Cybergewalt, die sich in besondere...
Israel Victory
A leading historian applies his deep understanding of the Middle East to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict—the most intractable, emotive clash of the past century. Daniel Pipes argues that this long struggle pits two unique and doomed mentalities that exist outside of normal politics against each other, making it so difficult to comprehend. One mentality consists of rejectionism, or the Palestinians’ negation of Jews, Judaism, Zionism, and Israel. Rejectionism accounts for their enduring goal of genocide, their refusal to take yes for an answer, their unwillingness to seek improved living circumstances, and their determination to defame the Jewish state. The other mentality consists of co...
Branding Berlin
This book is a cultural history of post-Wall urban, social, political, and cultural transformations in Berlin. Branding Berlin: From Division to the Cultural Capital of Europe presents a cultural analysis of Berlin’s cultural production, including literature, film, memoirs and non-fiction works, art, media, urban branding campaigns, and cultural diversity initiatives put forth by the Berlin Senate, and allows readers to understand the various changes that transformed the formerly divided city of voids into a hip cultural capital. The book examines Berlin’s branding, urban-economic development, and its search for a post-Wall identity by focusing on manifestations of nostalgic longing in d...
Towards Mutual Security
The Munich Security Conference, founded as "Wehrkundetagung" in 1963, has evolved into the leading independent forum for security policy. Traditionally seen as a kind of transatlantic family meeting for debating NATO strategy during the Cold War, the conference has increasingly broadened its agenda and today attracts participants from across the globe. Each year, dozens of heads of state and government, ministers, and experts from different fields of security policy gather in Munich for an open exchange of ideas and policies on the most pressing international security issues – ranging from regional conflicts, international peace operations and nuclear disarmament to cyber security and environmental challenges. On the occasion of the conference's 50th anniversary in 2014, a number of prominent participants, including former and current foreign and defense ministers, reflect on the conference's history and significance, some of the major issues debated, and on key security challenges facing the international community.
Urban Diplomacy
Urban Diplomacy is a passionate defence of global cities, whose diplomatic innovation has been called upon to work toward improved global governance, or in other words, a universal urban order.
As German as Kafka
Since the turn of the 21st century, countless literary endeavors by 'new Germans' have entered the spotlight of academic research. Yet 'minority writing', with its distinctive renegotiation of traditional concepts of cultural identity, is far from a recent phenomenon in German literature. A hundred years previously, the intense involvement of German-Jewish intellectuals in cultural and political discourses on Jewish identity put a clear stamp on German modernism. This book is the first to unfold literary parallels between these two riveting periods in German cultural history. Drawing on the philosophical oeuvre of Jean-Luc Nancy, a comparative reading of texts by, amongst others, Beer-Hofmann, Kermani, Özdamar, Roth, Schnitzler, and Zaimoglu examines a variety of literary approaches to the thorny issue of cultural identity, while developing an overarching perspective on the ‘politics of literature’.
Übersetzbarkeit
"Siehe, Ein Volk ist es und Eine Sprache haben Alle, und das ist der Anfang ihres Tuns, und nun möchte ihnen nichts unzugänglich sein, von allem was sie gesonnen sind zu tun. Wohlan, lasset uns hinabsteigen, und dort verwirren ihre Sprache, daß sie nicht verstehen Einer die Sprache des Andern." (Gen 11,6–7) In Gen 11,1–9 wird erzählt, dass sich die Menschen der Gegend zusammenfanden, um einen Turm zu errichten, der bis zum Himmel reichen sollte. Damals hatte die ganze Erde "Eine Sprache und einerlei Worte" (Gen 11,1). Als Gott das sah, verwirrte er ihre Sprache und brachte das Projekt des Turmbaus zu Babel damit zum Erliegen. Eine Interpretation der Erzählung könnte lauten, dass di...
