Islam and the Politics of Culture in Europe
Culture is a constant reference in debates surrounding Islam in Europe. Yet the notion of culture is commonly restricted to conceptual frames of multiculturalism where it relates to group identities, collective ways of life and recognition. This volume extends such analysis of culture by approaching it as semiotic practice which conjoins the making of subjects with the configuration of the social. Examining fields such as memory, literature, film, and Islamic art, the studies in this volume explore culture as another element in the assemblage of rationalities governing European Islam. From this perspective, the transformations of European identities can be understood as a matter of cultural practice and politics, which extend the analytical frames of political philosophy, historical legacies, normative orders and social dynamics.

Crime Fiction in German
It provides English-language readers with easy access to the history and development of German-language crime fiction for the first time. Contains a chronology of German-language crime fiction. Key dates, developments and texts are presented in a tabular form at the beginning of the volume. This is a unique selling point (new to the series) and provides the reader with an ‘at a glance’ overview of the volume. an introductory chapter that provides a comprehensive overview of the development of German-language crime and its key concepts and trends from the nineteenth century to the present day (including East German, Turkish-German, Jewish-German and regional crime). The chapter can be read as a standalone, but also acts as a gateway to the volume’s chapters. The chapters provide the reader with a wealth of information about key areas of crime fiction from around the German-speaking world. an annotated bibliography of published and online resources. This will be particularly useful for scholars in the field. a map of the German-speaking world that allows readers to see the majority of different geographical regions discussed in the volume.
Contemporary German Crime Fiction
A companion to contemporary German crime fiction for English-speaking audiences is overdue. Starting with the earlier Swiss “classics” Glauser and Dürrenmatt and including a number of important Austrian authors, such as Wolf Haas and Heinrich Steinfest, this volume will cover the essential writers, genres, and themes of crime fiction written in German. Where necessary and appropriate, crime fiction in media other than writing (TV-series, movies) will be included. Contemporary social and political developments, such as gender issues, life in a multicultural society, and the afterlife of German fascism today, play a crucial role in much of recent German crime fiction. A number of contribu...

In the study, many interesting questions, such as whether China will turn to a maritime great power in the Pacific Sea, possible impacts of China's BRI project on global politics, the future of the new great game in China's westward politics, and possible effects of North-South corridor on regional power struggle are also examined.

Eine tiefe Schuld, auch wenn wir sie nicht bewusst auf uns laden, verfolgt uns ein Leben lang. Wenn wir sie endlich tilgen wollen, machen wir es oft nur noch schlimmer. So ergeht es Fritz Tiedemann. Fritz bewegt sich zwischen den Welten. Als Einziger aus seinem Dorf geht er aufs Gymnasium in Wolfenbüttel und macht sich damit selbst zum Außenseiter. Als er und seine Mitschülerin Freda sich kurz vor dem Abitur näherkommen, beginnt für ihn ein neues Leben. Nicht zuletzt wegen Freda wühlt er tief in der Nazi-Vergangenheit seines Heimatdorfes und lüftet ein düsteres Geheimnis. Als ihn dann Elke, die Verlobte seines besten Freundes Helmut, verführt, gerät Fritz in einen gefährlichen Strudel, aus dem es kein Entrinnen gibt ... Vor allem ahnt Fritz nicht, welche Tragödien er auslöst. Das ganze Ausmaß erschließt sich ihm erst mehr als vierzig Jahre später. Ein großer Gesellschaftsroman um Vergangenheit, Vergeltung und Schuld – voller Tragik, Spannung und großen Emotionen!
