Neo-nationalism in Europe and Beyond

Delivered at the turn of the twentieth century, Riegl's groundbreaking lectures called for the Baroque period to be judged by its own rules and not merely as a period of decline.
European Modernism and the Information Society
Uniting a team of international and interdisciplinary scholars, this volume considers the views of early twentieth-century European thinkers on the creation, dissemination and management of publicly available information. Interdisciplinary in perspective, the volume reflects the nature of the thinkers discussed, including Otto Neurath, Patrick Geddes, the English Fabians, Paul Otlet, Wilhelm Ostwald and H. G. Wells. The work also charts the interest since the latter part of the nineteenth century in finding new ways to think about and to manage the growing body of available information in order to achieve aims such as the advancement of Western civilization, the alleviation of inequalities across classes and countries, and the promotion of peaceful coexistence between nations. In doing so, the contributors provide a novel historical context for assessing widely-held assumptions about today's globalized, 'post modern' information society. This volume will interest all who are curious about the creation of a modern networked information society.
The Paradoxical Republic
This title explores paradoxical perceptions about Austria in regard to its approach to immigration, the EU and historical events.
Dolmetschen als Dienst am Menschen
Ausgehend vom facettenreichen Schaffen von Mira Kadrić präsentiert dieser Band Beiträge, die von einer Konzeption des Dolmetschens als Dienst am Menschen ausgehen und verschiedene ethisch-humanistische, politisch-rechtliche und kritisch-emanzipatorische Dimensionen des Dolmetschens in den Blick nehmen. In einem ersten Themenkreis wird aus dolmetschwissenschaftlicher Sicht der Dialog mit verschiedenen Bedarfsträger:innen in den Mittelpunkt gestellt. Danach werden der Dialog von Dolmetscher:innen mit der Gesellschaft und daraus resultierende rechtliche Fragestellungen untersucht. Und schließlich werden Fragen der Didaktik unter dem Aspekt des Dialogs der Dolmetschwissenschaft mit Lernenden und Lehrenden diskutiert. Mit diesen multiperspektivischen Beiträgen wird, ganz im Sinne von Mira Kadrić, Dolmetschen als gesellschaftspolitische Handlung verortet und weiterentwickelt.
