Narratives of Guilt and Innocence
Illustrates how the power of narrative influences how police, prosecutors, juries, and judges construct legal reality Wrongful convictions have been studied primarily through the lenses of law, psychology, and the social sciences. Though scholarship has established canonical factors that help explain why the innocent are convicted, a very simple question has not been answered: How is it possible that prosecutors can convince juries and themselves of the guilt of an innocent defendant, often even against strong exculpatory evidence? Narratives of Guilt and Innocence seeks to address this crucial question by highlighting the narrative blueprint of a given criminal justice system and then how t...
Der Herrscher als Versager?!
Kann ein Herrscher ein Versager sein? Die Beiträger*innen sind erstmals dieser Fragestellung nachgegangen und nehmen anhand von Fallstudien Herrscher des 3. Jt. v. Chr. bis zum 11. Jh. n. Chr. in den Fokus. Dabei lassen sich zentrale Bewertungskriterien für den Erfolg oder Misserfolg eines Herrschers ermitteln: dessen Verhältnis zur Religion, das Erfüllen von etablierten oder individuellen Erwartungen und Normen, die Bewältigung konkreter Herausforderungen, persönliche Eigenschaften sowie die Art seines Herrschaftsendes. Die Befunde, die bis in die moderne Forschung nachwirken, fordern zu einer kritischen Analyse heraus, die durch den interkulturellen Vergleich und die diachrone Perspe...

Vorgeschichten zur Gegenwart
Geschichte ist ein mehrdeutiger Begriff. Geschichte verstanden als Vergangenheit wird durch Geschichte im Sinne von Geschichtsschreibung vermittelt.

Schweizerdeutsch und Sprachbewusstsein
The German Linguistic Studies Series is a comprehensive and outstanding forum in its field. It has borne the name of its subject in its title since the foundation of the series in the eighth decade of the last century. The series is comprehensive in the broad spectrum of topics covered (language levels, varieties, communication forms, epochs) in the range of research perspectives (theoretical and empirical studies, fundamental research and applications, interdisciplinarity with psychology, the social sciences etc.) and methodologies (the sole criterion is quality), in the rhythm of research (trends are perceived and also set, achievements are secured) and in the forms of presentation (monographs, textbooks, collected volumes, dictionaries). Professorial theses, outstanding doctoral theses, pioneering research findings from wider contexts, but also the surprising ‛stroke of genius’ set the standards for inclusion in the series.
