Geschlecht, Gewalt und Gesellschaft
Gewalt im Kontext von Geschlechtszugehörigkeit ist seit jeher trauriger Alltag. Wie wurden und werden Gewalttaten konstruiert und wer verübt sie in welcher Form? Diesen und vielen weiteren Fragen gehen die Beiträger*innen aus einem transdisziplinären Blickwinkel über einen Zeitraum von sechs Jahrhunderten nach. Dabei nehmen sie die Verschränkungen von Geschlecht und Gewalt multiperspektivisch in den Blick und decken in unterschiedlichen Räumen und Zeiten eine große Bandbreite an Kontexten, Formen, Praktiken und Wahrnehmungen von Gewalt auf. Ihre Analysen provozieren den historischen Vergleich und fragen nach Kontinuitäten bis in die Gegenwart, aber auch nach Brüchen, Widersprüchen und Gleichzeitigkeiten.
Der Morgenkreis

Germany: 1789-1933
Vivid, succinct, and highly accessible, Heinrich Winkler's magisterial history of modern Germany offers the history of a nation and its people through two turbulent centuries. It is the story of a country that, while always culturally identified with the West, long resisted the political trajectories of its neighbours. This first volume (of two) begins with the origins and consequences of the medieval myth of the 'Reich', which was to experience a fateful renaissance in the twentieth century, and ends with the collapse of the first German democracy. Winkler offers a brilliant synthesis of complex events and illuminates them with fresh insights. He analyses the decisions that shaped the country's triumphs and catastrophes, interweaving high politics with telling vignettes about the German people and their own self-perception. With a forthcoming second volume to take the story up to re-unification in 1990, Germany: The Long Road West will be welcomed by scholars, students, and anyone wishing to understand this most complex and contradictory of countries. -- from back cover.
Austria 1867-1955
Austria 1867-1955 connects the political history of German-speaking provinces of the Habsburg Empire before 1914 (Vienna and the Alpine Lands) with the history of the Austrian Republic that emerged in 1918. John W. Boyer presents the case of modern Austria as a fascinating example of democratic nation-building. The construction of an Austrian political nation began in 1867 under Habsburg Imperial auspices, with the German-speaking bourgeois Liberals defining the concept of a political people (Volk) and giving that Volk a constitution and a liberal legal and parliamentary order to protect their rights against the Crown. The decades that followed saw the administrative and judicial institution...

At vende hjem
Danmark har deltaget aktivt i verdens krige siden 1990'erne, og mange danskere har enten været udsendt som soldater, eller været pårørende til soldater. Denne bog er en personlig beretning om, aktivt at vælge at blive soldat, og blive udsendt til forskellige missioner flere gange. Den beskriver kulturen i Forsvaret i 1990'erne hvor det at være kvinde og blive anerkendt og respekteret på lige fod med mændene, kunne være en kamp i sig selv. Den beskriver også alt det positive ved soldaterlivet, hvor stærke, unikke venskaber og ny indsigt i andres kultur giver mening i det meningsløse. Sidst men ikke mindst, beskriver den kort, hvilken pris det kan få at have været udsendt. Om overgangen mellem det at være soldat til det at blive civilist. Bind 2 omhandler tiden efter udsendelsen. Hvordan fysisk og psykisk overbelastning ender, for nogen veteraner, med at blive den største og mest anstrengende kamp, de kommer til at kæmpe i deres liv, selvom de er kommet godt hjem til familie og venner i Danmark.

The Bismarck Myth
Few statesmen in history have inspired the imagination of generations of Germans more than the founder of the Kaiserreich, Otto von Bismarck. The archetype of charismatic leadership, the Iron Chancellor maintained his pre-eminent position in the pantheon of Germany's political iconography for much of the twentieth century.Based on a large selection of primary sources, this book provides an insightful analysis of the Bismarck myth's profound impact on Germany's political culture. In particular, it investigates the ways in which that myth was used to undermine parliamentary democracy in Germany after the Great War, paving the way for its replacement by authoritarian rule under an allegedly 'Bi...
