Die Kartause als Text-Raum mittelalterlicher Mystik-Rezeption

Die Frage nach dem Verhältnis von Kartäusern und Mystik wird im vorliegenden Band auf der Basis der Überlieferung jener ‚mystischen‘ Bücher behandelt, die in einzelnen Kartausen faktisch vorhanden waren. Was dabei interessiert, ist der Umgang mit diesen Büchern im Kontext der für den Orden bzw. für einzelne Kartausen spezifischen Wissensdiskurse, Schreibpraktiken und Überlieferungskonstellationen. Die Beiträge decken mit theologia mystica, revelationes und meditationes gerade jene Bereiche ab, die auch für die moderne Diskussion um die Definition eines ‚mystischen‘ Textcorpus relevant sind.

Approaches to Hungarian

This volume contains eight papers, all presented at the 9th International Conference on the Structure of Hungarian (University of Debrecen, 2009), addressing a great variety of topics in the syntax, morphology, phonology, and semantics of Hungarian, and also offering discussion of related phenomena in other languages. The volume includes a syntax-based analysis of Hungarian external causatives in the framework of the Minimalist Program (MP); argumentation for the lack of phonological or acoustic evidence for secondary stress in Hungarian; an MP approach to a Hungarian modal construction with a counterfactual, reproaching reading; empirical arguments for assuming that in the case of embedded ...

The Face on Film

The human face is a privileged arena of expressivity; yet, this book suggests, cinema's most radical encounters with the face give rise to ambiguity, illegibility--an equivocation between image and language. Braiding theoretical and aesthetic considerations with close analysis of films, Steimatsky interrogates the convergence of archaic powers and modern anxieties in our experience of the face on film.

The importance of personal storytelling in contemporary culture and politics In an age where our experiences are processed and filtered through a wide variety of mediums, both digital and physical, how do we tell our own story? How do we “get a life,” make sense of who we are and the way we live, and communicate that to others? Stories of the Self takes the literary study of autobiography and opens it up to a broad and fascinating range of material practices beyond the book, investigating the manifold ways people are documenting themselves in contemporary culture. Anna Poletti explores Andy Warhol’s Time Capsules, a collection of six hundred cardboard boxes filled with text objects fro...

The Science of Citizen Science

This book provides a representation of the practices as well as scientific and societal outcomes in different disciplines. It reflects the contribution of citizen science to societal development, education, or innovation and provides and overview of the field of actors as well as on tools and guidelines. It serves as an introduction for anyone who wants to get involved in and learn more about the science of citizen science.
