Working to Make a Difference
This work is comprised of personal essays by some of the most noted Holocaust educators working in or with Holocaust museums, resource centers, or educational organizations across the globe. These distinguished contributors--from the United States, Great Britain, Israel, Canada, South Africa, Germany, and Poland--each delineate the genesis and evolution of their own thought and work in the field of Holocaust education. Their personal narratives discuss those individuals and/or scholarly works that have most influenced them, their aspirations, the frustrations they have faced, their perception of the field, their major contributions, their current endeavors, and the legacy they hope to leave upon the completion of their careers.
Canadian Environments
Responding to the comprehensive topic 'Old Environments - New Environments', scholars from a variety of disciplines reflect the various connotations that the term 'environment' carries in a Canadian context. Whether moving within the realm of foreign policy, visual arts, constitutional questions, tourism, nature preservation or aboriginal rights, these essays put the capaciousness and cohesiveness of the nation to the test by illustrating the pressures enforced upon it by multiculturalism, the claims for self-determination, anti-confederate agitation and globalisation. The environments scrutinised are many and various, but within each the linchpin remains the quest for identity on the part of the individual, the group or the nation at large. Individually as well as collectively, the essays in this volume constitute an important contribution to the ongoing debate on Canadianness.
Expressive Intersections in Brahms
“This exceptionally fine collection brings together many of the best analysts of Brahms, and nineteenth-century music generally, in the English-speaking world today.” —Nineteenth-Century Music Review Contributors to this exciting volume examine the intersection of structure and meaning in Brahms’s music, utilizing a wide range of approaches, from the theories of Schenker to the most recent analytical techniques. They combine various viewpoints with the semiotic-based approaches of Robert Hatten, and address many of the most important genres in which Brahms composed. The essays reveal the expressive power of a work through the comparison of specific passages in one piece to similar works and through other artistic realms such as literature and painting. The result of this intertextual re-framing is a new awareness of the meaningfulness of even Brahms’s most “absolute” works. “Through its unique combination of historical narrative, expressive content, and technical analytical approaches, the essays in Expressive Intersections in Brahms will have a profound impact on the current scholarly discourse surrounding Brahms analysis.” —Notes
Determined Women
The essays in this collection look at some of the images and categories which have shaped Western women's sense of themselves in the twentieth century. The approach of the collection is interdisciplinary, bringing together the perspectives of literary criticism, social history and linguistics. Its focus is international, with contributions on Britain, France, Germany, the United States and Canada. The collection shows both the similarity and the diversity of women's experience in a world determined by patriarchal assumptions, where women's only hope of change lies in developing a determination of their own.

Die korrigierte Neuausgabe ist im acabus Verlag erschienen.
Mädchenbücher: Leitbilder für Weiblichkeit
Ober Mädchenbücher ist schon viel geschrieben worden; das läßt sich mit einigen Assoziationen kurz beleuchten: Viel geschrieben oder besser: viel ge klagt wurde über den Backfischroman, einem besonders verbreiteten und er folgreichen Mädchenbuchtypw, der zunächst um die Jahrhundertwende dem kulturästhetischen Verdikt verfiel (Wolgast 1896), um dann aus anderen, ent wicklungspsychologisch-Iesekundlichen (Lippert 1931) oder eher sozialisa tionstheoretischen Positionen (Dahrendorf 1970) etwas "entdämonisiert" zu werden. Mädchenbücher wurden als besonderer Teil der Kinder-und Jugendliteratur in die Nähe der trivialen Lektüre gerückt, die mit einem Weltbild von gestern mittels einer...
