Jewish Life and Culture in Germany after 1945
How was the re-emerging Jewish religious practice after 1945 shaped by traditions before the Shoah? To what extent was it influenced by new inspirations through migration and new cultural contacts? By analysing objects like prayer books, musical instruments, Torah scrolls, audio documents and prayer rooms, this volume shows how the post-war communities created new Jewish musical, architectural and artistic forms while abiding by the tradition. This peer-reviewed volume presents contributions to the conference „Jewish communities in Germany in Transition", held in July 2021, as well as the results of a related research project carried out by two university institutions and two museums: the ...
Gender and Judging
Does gender make a difference to the way the judiciary works and should work? Or is gender-blindness a built-in prerequisite of judicial objectivity? If gender does make a difference, how might this be defined? These are the key questions posed in this collection of essays, by some 30 authors from the following countries; Argentina, Cambodia, Canada, England, France, Germany, India, Israel, Italy, Ivory Coast, Japan, Kenya, the Netherlands, the Philippines, South Africa, Switzerland, Syria and the United States. The contributions draw on various theoretical approaches, including gender, feminist and sociological theories. The book's pressing topicality is underlined by the fact that well int...
Political culture Texte imprimé values and identities in the Baltic Sea region The Baltic Sea region: Northern dimensions - European perspectives
Reconciling the diversity of political cultures, values and national identities with the European integration project is one of the most fundamental challenges contemporary Europe is facing. This challenge is readily apparent in the Baltic Sea region with its mosaic of peoples, cultures and identities. The impact of the ongoing process of European integration on the post-Communist societies on the Eastern rim of the Baltic Sea is indisputable. The negotiations between the European Union and the East European candidate countries were in fact accompanied by a large scale transfer of organization.
Gaukler
Stefan Limbach hat es geschafft. Vom gescheiterten Journalisten und Hartz-IV-Empfänger zum Bestsellerautor. Gleich mit seinem Erstlingswerk gelingt ihm ein Riesenerfolg. Jetzt genießt er die späte Anerkennung und sein Leben. Alles ist gut. Oder? Nicht ganz. Oberstaatsanwalt Ernesto Biedermann von der Staatsanwaltschaft Hamburg hat dringenden Gesprächsbedarf. War der frischgebackene Erfolgsautor in jungen Jahren ein militantes, gewalttätiges Mitglied der linksautonomen Hausbesetzerszene in der Hafenstraße? Vielleicht sogar ein Mörder? Das möchte der Oberstaatsanwalt gerne wissen. Limbach stolpert in die Fänge der Justiz. Das ist nicht sein einziges Problem. Ihm selber kommt ein ungeheurer Verdacht: Sein eigener Verleger, so scheint es, hat eine dunkle Vergangenheit. Ein sehr dunkle. Der sensible Autor muss plötzlich an zwei Fronten gleichzeitig kämpfen. Und gerät dabei in allerhöchste Gefahr. "Geil! Jetzt merke ich, wie das Koks wirkt." Der Ex-Senator hatte sich zwei Linien reingezogen. Es klopfte an der Tür. Einer der beiden Begleiter des Ex-Senators ging hin und öffnete. Draußen standen zwei Nutten. Der Ex-Senator öffnete seine Hose.
The Baltic as a Multicultural World
The end of the Cold War brought the Baltic Sea area into the limelight of political and cultural cooperation. Since then, the Baltic Sea area has gained a powerful position as a dynamic European sub-region. Still, like other similar kinds of areas defined by a sea or a river the Mediterranean world, the Black Sea, or the Danube the Baltic Sea area is hard to define and it has as many definitions as there are map-makers. The sea itself plays a central role but its influence is vague and always contingent. This book has sought to introduce multiple insights for focusing on the Baltic. All the contributions examine the question of the essence of the Baltic and the source of its unity and, in pa...
