TheodoraLand
Theodora Lange denkt sich oft, es wäre besser gewesen die drei geheimnisvollen alten Bücher nicht in die Hände bekommen zu haben. Ja, viel besser, für eine 24-jährige etwas eigenbrötlerische gelernte Buchhandelskauffrau, die gern lässig und hübsch-provokant mit Rollerblades oder Longboard durch die Gegend fährt. Stattdessen ist sie im nun im Visier von Killern... das findet sie gar nicht witzig. Liebe, Sex... und jetzt auch noch ein lebensgefährliches Rätsel, das Theodora zwingend lösen muss. Ist es ein Vermächtnis aus der NS-Zeit? Oder geht es viel, viel weiter zurück? Der Sommer 2012 hat es in sich für Theodora Lange in allen Lebenslagen. Obwohl auf Englisch geschrieben, fin...
The Extreme Gone Mainstream
"This book comes at a time that could hardly be more important. Miller-Idriss opens up a completely new approach to understanding the processes of violent radicalization through subcultural products...(and) will surely become a standard work in the study of right-wing extremism."--Daniel Koehler, founder and director of the German Institute on Radicalization and De-Radicalization Studies.dies.
Physics and Literature
Physics and Literature is a unique collaboration between physicists, literary scholars, and philosophers, the first collection of essays to examine together how science and literature, beneath their practical differences, share core dimensions – forms of questioning, thinking, discovering and communicating insights.This book advances an in-depth exploration of relations between physics and literature from both perspectives. It turns around the tendency to discuss relations between literature and science in one-sided and polarizing ways. The collection is the result of the inaugural conference of ELINAS, the Erlangen Center for Literature and Natural Science, an initiative dedicated to buil...
Reformation Europe
The first survey to utilise the approaches of the new cultural history in analysing how Reformation Europe came about.
Reassembling the Republic of Letters in the Digital Age
Between 1500 and 1800, the rapid evolution of postal communication allowed ordinary men and women to scatter letters across Europe like never before. This exchange helped knit together what contemporaries called the ‘respublica litteraria’, a knowledge-based civil society, crucial to that era’s intellectual breakthroughs, formative of many modern values and institutions, and a potential cornerstone of a transnational level of European identity. Ironically, the exchange of letters which created this community also dispersed the documentation required to study it, posing enormous difficulties for historians of the subject ever since. To reassemble that scattered material and chart the hi...
Funding of Political Parties and Election Campaigns
All political parties need funding to play their part in the political process, yet the role of money in politics is arguably the biggest threat to democracy today. This global threat knows no boundaries, and is evident across all continents from huge corporate campaign donations in the United States and drug money seeping into politics in Latin America, to corruption scandals throughout Asia and Europe. Attempts to tackle these challenges through political finance laws and regulations are often undermined by a lack of political will or capacity, as well as poorly designed and enforced measures. This Handbook addresses the problems of money in politics by analysing political finance regulati...
Lutheran Humanists and Greek Antiquity
The textual monuments of Greco-Roman antiquity, as is well known, were a staple of Europe’s educated classes since the Renaissance. That the Reformation ushered in a new understanding of human fate and history is equally a commonplace of modern scholarship. The present study probes attitudes towards Greek antiquity by of a group of Lutheran humanists. Concentrating on Philipp Melanchthon, several of his colleagues and students, and a broader Melanchthonian milieu, a Lutheran understanding of Pagan and Christian Greek antiquity is traced in its sixteenth century context, positing it within the framework of Protestant universal history, pedagogical concerns, and the newly made acquaintance with Byzantine texts and post-Byzantine Greeks – demonstrating the need to historicize Antiquity itself in Renaissance studies and beyond.
Melanchthon deutsch VII
Melanchthon formulierte nicht nur große Texte wie das Augsburger Bekenntnis. Auch mit seinen Kleinschriften trat er unermüdlich für die Sache der Reformation ein und pflegte damit Beziehungen zu Familie, Fürsten, Kollegen, Studenten und Gelehrten in seinem humanistisch-reformatorischen Netzwerk. Melanchthons zahlreiche Reden, Briefe, Bekanntmachungen, Widmungsvorreden, Gedichte, Gutachten, Zeugnisse und Gebete verdeutlichen, wie vielgestaltig und leidenschaftlich er philosophische und naturwissenschaftliche Themen wie auch reformatorische Kernanliegen vor Ort in Wittenberg, im Reich und in ganz Europa vermittelte und wie stark sein Denken und Handeln von Glauben und Frömmigkeit durchdru...
Sex, Death, and Minuets
At one time a star in her own right as a singer, Anna Magdalena (1701–60) would go on to become, through her marriage to the older Johann Sebastian Bach, history’s most famous musical wife and mother. The two musical notebooks belonging to her continue to live on, beloved by millions of pianists young and old. Yet the pedagogical utility of this music—long associated with the sound of children practicing and mothers listening—has encouraged a rosy and one-sided view of Anna Magdalena as a model of German feminine domesticity. Sex, Death, and Minuets offers the first in-depth study of these notebooks and their owner, reanimating Anna Magdalena as a multifaceted historical subject—at...
