The Object of the Atlantic
The Object of the Atlantic is a wide-ranging study of the transition from a concern with sovereignty to a concern with things in Iberian Atlantic literature and art produced between 1868 and 1968. Rachel Price uncovers the surprising ways that concrete aesthetics from Cuba, Brazil, and Spain drew not only on global forms of constructivism but also on a history of empire, slavery, and media technologies from the Atlantic world. Analyzing Jose Marti’s notebooks, Joaquim de Sousandrade’s poetry, Ramiro de Maeztu’s essays on things and on slavery, 1920s Cuban literature on economic restructuring, Ferreira Gullar’s theory of the “non-object,” and neoconcrete art, Price shows that the turn to objects—and from these to new media networks—was rooted in the very philosophies of history that helped form the Atlantic world itself.

A History of Ecology and Environmentalism in Spanish American Literature
A History of Ecology and Environmentalism in Spanish American Literature undertakes a comprehensive ecocritical examination of the region’s literature from the foundational texts of the nineteenth century to the most recent fiction. The book begins with a consideration of the way in which Argentine Domingo Faustino Sarmiento’s views of nature through the lens of the categories of “civilization” and “barbarity” from Facundo (1845) are systematically challenged and revised in the rest of the century. Subsequently, this book develops the argument that a vital part of the cultural critique and aesthetic innovations of Spanish American modernismo involve an ecological challenge to dee...
Transdisciplinary Research and Sustainability
Transdisciplinarity is a new way of scientifically meeting the challenges of sustainability. Indeed, interdisciplinary collaboration and co-operation with non-academic ‘practice partners’ is at the core of this; creating contextualised, socially relevant knowledge about complex real-world problems. Transdisciplinary Research and Sustainability breaks new ground by presenting transdisciplinary research in practice, drawing on recent advances by the vibrant transdisciplinary research communities in the German-speaking world. It describes methodological innovations developed to address wide-ranging contemporary issues including climate change adaptation, energy policy, sustainable agricultu...
Auf das Wesentliche reduziert
Im jungen schweizerischen Bundesstaat waren es die kirchlich Liberalen, die wesentlich daran beteiligt waren, dass der Artikel zur Glaubensfreiheit in der Bundesverfassung von 1874 angenommen wurde. Sie trugen damit zum Religionsfrieden bei und förderten den aufgeklärten historisch-kritischen Umgang mit Bibel und Tradition. Dabei suchten liberale Theologinnen und Theologen immer wieder die Nähe zu anderen Wissensgebieten. In Offenheit und Toleranz wollten sie einen Beitrag leisten für ein gelingendes Zusammenleben in der Gesellschaft, zum Beispiel in der Förderung des interreligiösen Dialogs. Engagiert und detailliert entfaltet Andreas Zeller die Geschichte der kirchlich Liberalen in der reformierten Kirche im Kanton Bern mit Schwerpunkt auf den letzten 40 Jahren. Er stellt prägende Personen, wegweisende Auseinandersetzungen und wichtige Institutionen vor. Ein Blick zurück und zugleich ein Blick voraus, der das Motto der Liberalen konkret werden lässt: liberal – reformiert – offen.
America Imagined
Why has "America" - that is, the United States of America - become so much more than simply a place in the imagination of so many people around the world? In both Europe and Latin America, the United States has often been a site of multiple possible futures, a screen onto which could be projected utopian dreams and dystopian nightmares. Whether castigated as a threat to civilized order or championed as a promise of earthly paradise, America has invariably been treated as a cipher for modernity. It has functioned as an inescapable reference point for both European and Latin American societies, not only as a model of social and political organization - one to reject as much one to emulate - but also as the prime example of a society emerging from a dramatic diversity of cultural and social backgrounds.
Wirksamer Fachunterricht Meta-Band
Welche Qualität hat der Fachunterricht an unseren Schulen? Ist er wirksam? Erreicht er seine Ziele? Für die Beantwortung dieser komplexen Fragen sind bislang 17 Bücher für die verschiedensten Unterrichtsfächer erschienen. Der Band «Wirksamer Fachunterricht» führt Erkenntnisse der bisher erschienenen Bücher zusammen, denn für alle 17 Schulfächer war die methodische Herangehensweise jeweils gleich: Es wurden Expertinnen und Experten aus den Fachdidaktiken, aus dem Wissenschaft-Praxis-Transferbereich sowie aus der Schulpraxis mittels der gleichen acht Fragen nach ihrer Ergebniseinschätzung der relevanten Studien und ihren langjährigen Berufserfahrungen in dieser metaanalytischer Betrachtung befragt, um die Essenz nach wirksamem Fachunterricht in den jeweiligen Unterrichtsfächern herauszubekommen.
