The Interaction of Contract Law and Tort and Property Law in Europe
Against the background of the creation of an EU-wide frame of reference for private law relevant to the Common Market, this study, which was requested by the EU Commission, analyses the dovetailing between contract and tort law on the one hand, and between contract and property law on the other. The study examines the legal orders of almost all the Member States of the EU, illustrates the differences between contractual and non-contractual liability and evaluates the different systems of the transfer of property, of movable and immovable securities as well as trust law. The study comes to the conclusion that the intensive considerations on the creation of a model-law in the area of European private law do not allow these thoughts to be limited to contract law. Such a limitation to the scope of the regarding of this area would probably cause more problems than it would solve, or at any rate not do justice to the needs of the Common Market.
Family, Friends and Followers
Political life in the middle ages was influenced heavily by the bonds people had to one another. Among these, the bonds of kinship, friendship and lordship were by far the most important. Ritual was also often used to create and strengthen these bonds, and conduct and behaviour within social groups was shaped by unwritten rules. People bound in these ways had a right to expect help and support from one another. Such bonds were both a fact and a necessity of life in the middle ages. Over time, however, these bonds and relationships changed, as did the rules and norms which governed them. The aim of this book is to document and describe the history of these crucial bonds, and the ways in which they shaped political life in Europe in the early and high middle ages.

Popular Religion in Germany and Central Europe, 1400-1800
Studies in the field of popular religion have for some time been among the most innovative in social and cultural history, but until now there have been few publications providing any adequate overview for Germany and the Holy Roman Empire. This volume presents the results of recent research by younger scholars working on major aspects of this subject. The nine essays range over nearly four centuries of German history, encompassing late-medieval female piety, propaganda for radical Hussite dissent, attitudes towards the Jews, legitimation for the witchcraze on the eve of the Reformation, attempts to implement Protestant reform in German villages, Reformation attacks on popular magic and female culture, problems of defining the Reformation in small German towns, Protestant popular prophecy and formation of confessional identity, and the missionising strategies of the Counter-Reformation.
Präsentisches Verstehen
Anliegen dieses Buches ist es, den Unterschied zwischen Verstehen und Erklären verständlich zu machen und in die Hermeneutik als Lehre des Verstehens einzuführen. Hermeneutik wird allerdings heute oft als Methodenlehre verstanden, als Kunst der Auslegung von Sinn, ohne weitere Reflexion darauf, was Sinn meint und wie er das Auszulegende konstituiert. Dieser begriffsgeschichtlich verkürzten Auffassung setzt Volker Schürmann eine andere, eine philosophische Hermeneutik entgegen. Die Abgrenzung philosophischer Hermeneutik von bloßer Methodenlehre nimmt der Autor dabei unter Rückgriff auf Georg Misch vor und nicht wie üblicherweise unter Bezug auf Martin Heidegger und Hans-Georg Gadamer,...
Self-Tracking
Rasant verbreitet sich im Zuge der Digitalisierung der Wille, alltägliches Geschehen nicht nur im Spektrum der Worte, sondern in Form von Zahlen zu dokumentieren. Im Kontext von Diabetes und Quantified Self analysiert Lisa Wiedemann in dieser Studie das sogenannte Self-Tracking als medizinisch indizierte und als „selbstinitiierte“ Praxis. Dabei werden die Vermessungspraktiken empirisch als veralltäglichte, selbstbezogene und verkörperte Praxis in den Blick genommen. Zur Diskussion steht, wie Self-Tracking in den Alltag übersetzt und in Interaktivität mit technisch-materiellen Akteuren im (in)stabilen Vollzug bedeutsam gemacht wird.
