Islamfeindlichkeit
„Islamkritik“ ist eines der Schlagworte unserer Zeit. Doch dahinter verstecken sich oftmals nur pure Ressentiments. Zugleich lässt sich unter Muslimen eine dogmatische Verteidigungshaltung beobachten, bei der bisweilen jede Kritik von vornherein in den Wind geschlagen wird. Beide Extreme dominieren zu häufig die öffentlichen Diskussionen. Der vorliegende Band "Islamfeindlichkeit" einerseits und der dazugehörige Band "Islamverherrlichung" andererseits nehmen sie daher kritisch in den Blick: Band 1 spürt jene geistigen Strömungen auf, die antiislamische Einstellungen in Deutschland fördern. Band 2 spricht theologische Herausforderungen und Missstände in der hiesigen muslimischen Ge...
Method in Translation History
Starting from the critical notion that we should be asking questions of contemporary importance - and that 'importance' itself must be defined - Anthony Pym sets about undoing many of the currently dominant models of translation history, positing, among much else, that the object of this history should be translators as people, that researchers are subjectively involved in their object, that cultural systems are based on social will, that translators work in intercultural spaces, and that a model of cooperation through negotiation may be applied to the way translators (and researchers!) work between cultures. At the same time, the proposed methodology is eminently constructive, showing how m...
Ottoman Studies and Archives in Greece
"Although modern Greek history is closely tied to its experience of the Ottoman period, Greece does not possess a strong body of Ottoman history writing. It has traditionally been coloured by certain polemical topics such as the Ottoman conquest of Asia Minor, the war of Greek independence and the population exchanges of the 1920s. Evangelia Balta's Ottoman studies and archives in Greece surveys the state of Ottoman and Turkish history study in Greece, how it has developed and its future. The first half of Balta's essays explore the field of modern Greek historiography and place it in the context of the study of the Ottoman Empire. The second group of essays examine the state of Ottoman archives in Greece. This book should be of interest to historians of the Ottoman Empire and modern Greece who wish to understand how historical research has been conducted to date or who wish to undertake research in Greece"--Publisher's description, p. [4] of cover.

Words and Symbols
What lies behind the language we use as counsellors and psychotherapists? How does language fit into a therapeutic context? Can we truly say what we mean, and hear what is said, in the consulting room? This book takes apart, lays out and repositions the most basic of therapeutic tools – the language used to communicate between therapist and client. It begins with a summary of the different schools of thought on language acquisition from infancy onwards. It addresses ways in which philosophical and social contexts may impact on the thoughts and words available for speech. Following this it focuses on the detail of the words spoken in a consulting room, and considers dialogue in the arts the...

The Poetry of Yunus Emre, A Turkish Sufi Poet
The popularity of Yunus Emre, who is often referred to as the Turkish national poet, has endured for six centuries. Yunus is the most important representative of early Turkish mysticism; he can be considered the founder of Alevi-Bektasi literature, and his influence on later tekke poetry was enormous. His ilahis (hymns) have played an important role in sufi ceremonies. Grace Martin Smith's translation of Yunus's poetry will acquaint the non-Turkish reader with the art and thinking of one of Turkey's most significant poets and will be helpful to students of both modern and Ottoman Turkish and to all those interested in Islamic poetry and piety.
