Actual Minds, Possible Worlds
Bruner sets forth nothing less than a new agenda for the study of the mind. He examines the irrepressibly human acts of imagination that allow us to make experience meaningful; he calls this side of mental activity the “narrative mode,” and his book makes important advances in the effort to unravel its nature.
Travelling Ideas in the Long Nineteenth Century
Travelling Ideas in the Long Nineteenth Century is about how ideas travel on the waves of cultural transfer. The volume focuses in particular on the exchange of ideas, knowledge and culture between the Nordic countries and continental Europe. It includes reflections on travelling and transmitting ideas through various forms, and takes a step further in scrutinising how new theories in literary, cultural and historical studies, as well as new methods, are influencing research in the field of cultural transfer and transmission. In the first part of the volume, the authors examine the export and import of ideas through literature in translation, travel letters, international education strategie...
Britain and the Continent 1660‒1727
This monograph examines the most prestigious political paintings created in Britain during the High Baroque age. It investigates a period characterized by numerous social, political, and religious crises, in the years between the restoration of the Stuart monarchy (1660) and the death of the first British monarch from the House of Hanover (1727). On the basis of hitherto unpublished documents, the book elucidates the creation and reception of nine major commissions that involved the court, private aristocratic patrons, and/or civic institutions. The ground-breaking new interpretations of these works focus on strategies of conflict resolution, the creation of shared cultural memories, processes of cultural translation, the performative context of the murals and the interaction of painted images and architectural spaces.
The Last Generation of the German Rabbinate
After the Nazi seizure of power on January 30, 1933, over 250 German rabbis, rabbinical scholars, and students for the rabbinate fled to the United States. The Last Generation of the German Rabbinate follows their lives and careers over decades in America. Although culturally uprooted, the group's professional lives and intellectual leadership, particularly those of the younger members of this group, left a considerable mark intellectually, socially, and theologically on American Judaism and on American Jewish congregational and organizational life in the postwar world. Meticulously researched and representing the only systematic analysis of prosopographical data in a digital humanities database, The Last Generation of the German Rabbinate reveals the trials of those who had lost so much and celebrates the legacy they made for themselves in America.
Crossing Boundaries
Jones (history, Canisius College, Buffalo, NY) introduces "crossing borders" as a metaphor for challenging racial, geo-political, and disciplinary divides. In 13 papers originally delivered at a namesake 1998 U. of Buffalo conference honoring German-Jewish refugee historian G. Iggers, US and German academics explore the leitmotifs of migration, ethnicity, and minorities in public policy in Germany and the US; the struggle for civil rights in both countries; new perspectives on the experiences of Jewish refugees from Germany; and reflections on difference and equality in historiography, with a contribution by Iggers.

Portraits of Pioneers in Psychology
A major aim of the books in this series is to promote psychology's appreciation of the neglected giants in its history. The chapters document the significance of these early contributions, many of them made more than a century ago. Most of the chapters are revisions of invited addresses delivered at psychological conventions. Several of the authors are students, colleagues, or offspring of their pioneers and all of them are intrigued by the life and work of the psychologists about whom they have written. All of the portraits are informal; on occasion, even humorous. Some are "impersonations"--telling stories in what were or might have been the pioneer's own words. This book provides source materials for teachers of undergraduate courses in psychology--particularly the history of psychology--who want to add a personal view in their lectures and offer interesting readings for their students. Each of the five volumes in this series contains different profiles thereby bringing more than 100 of the pioneers in psychology more vividly to life.
Handbuch der Kleinkindforschung
Das Handbuch bietet einen umfassenden Überblick über Paradigmen, Forschungsergebnisse und methodische Zugänge in der Kleinkindforschung. Die vierte, wiederum vollständig überarbeitete und ergänzte Auflage trägt der Tatsache Rechnung, dass die Kleinkindforschung in den letzten Jahren erneut große Fortschritte verzeichnen konnte. Die Zielsetzung des Handbuchs blieb die gleiche: eine übersichtliche, klar strukturierte Bilanzierung der Forschungsbemühungen, die einen besonders wichtigen Lebensabschnitt in der menschlichen Biografie betreffen. «Ein fundiertes, umfassendes, übersichtliches gegliedertes Werk, konkurrenzlos in der Vielfältigkeit der Beiträge und Standpunkte» (Zeitschrift für Kinder- und Jugendpsychiatrie und Psychotherapie)
Paare in Kunst und Wissenschaft
Paare faszinieren! Von Robert und Clara Schumann bis Marina Abramovic und Ulay. Doch wie können wir diese künstlerisch oder wissenschaftlich produktiven Gemeinschaften beschreiben? Wie die komplexen Aushandlungsprozesse zwischen zwei kreativ arbeitenden Menschen beobachten? Und in welchem Wechselverhältnis stehen deren Selbstbilder und -darstellungen zu den Arbeits- und Lebensrealitäten. In produktiver Arbeitspartnerschaft oder karrierebezogener Konkurrenz, emotional verbunden oder pragmatisch liiert, zum Ideal verklärt oder im Scheitern faszinierend: Bis heute ist Paaren in Kunst und Wissenschaft die öffentliche Faszination gewiss. Doch wie Paare wahrgenommen werden und sich selbst öffentlich zeigen, folgt meist Klischees und gängigen Narrativen. Vorherrschend ist dabei allzu oft das Bild des Künstlers und seiner Muse. Der Sammelband widmet sich dem Themenfeld aus interdisziplinärer Perspektive. »Schreiben über Paare« wird dabei ebenso thematisiert wie »Schreiben als Paar«; darüber hinaus geht es um die Strategien der (Selbst-)Inszenierung von Paaren und um ihr Umfeld, um Konstellationen, Familien und Netzwerke.
