Der Wandel. Life is a Story - story.one
Der Wandel begleitet in 12 kleinen Prosastücken einen Einzelgänger wider Willen auf seiner Odyssee durch die fühllose Fremde einer modernen Großstadt. Die Schrecknisse und Enttäuschungen, die auf seinem Weg liegen, überlagern sich in der gleichermaßen kunstvollen wie verspielten Prosa mit teils apokalyptischen, teils utopischen Traumbildern und Visionen, sodass die Nachtseite der Stadt offen zutage liegt. Der schmale Band führt die Leserin nicht zuletzt auf die Abwege und Treppengänge einer verstiegenen Suche nach Sinn und Halt im Wirrsal existentialer Widersprüche. Wie ein Torbogen neigt sich über die Schwelle des Buches versöhnlich die Hoffnung, wer immer im Gefühle geistiger Verwandtschaft oder unter stillem Vorbehalt die Reise wagte, trete verwandelt hinaus.

Paul and Patronage
The question of how leadership and authority functioned in the Pauline church remains one of the most polarizing issues in New Testament scholarship today. On the one side are egalitarian and counterimperial readings that stake their interpretation of the liberating gospel upon a depiction of the Pauline church as radically countercultural with regard to leadership and authority. On the other side are authoritarian readings that just as easily conceive of Paul as fully embedded within the cultural conceptions and structures of leadership and authority in vogue across the Greco-Roman world. This study employs social-science criticism to construct a model of ancient patronage conventions and power-exchange dynamics in the Greco-Roman world, and this model is then applied to 1 Corinthians. This study finds that when Paul addresses his own apostolic relationship to the Corinthians, he tends toward reinscribing traditional hierarchies, but that when Paul addresses relationships between participants of the Corinthian assembly, he tends toward overturning them.
Neopatrimonialism in Africa and Beyond
Neopatrimonialism, a system whereby rulers use state resources for personal benefit and to secure the loyalty of clients in the general population, is central to any teaching or conceptualisation of contemporary African politics. This book is a theoretical and comparative study of neopatrimonialism in Africa and across world regions. Although such practices are widespread in other parts of the world, the African neopatrimonial state has also become a global prototype of the anti-developmental state. This volume calls for a reappraisal of the genesis and interpretations of the concepts of patrimonialism and neopatrimonialism. Expert contributors consider recent debates in Africa through the s...
