Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Während des Zweiten Weltkriegs und in der Nachkriegszeit wurden zahllose Menschen aus ihrer Heimat und ihren sozialen Bindungen gerissen. In dem kleinen westfälischen Dorf Wewelsburg wurden auf dem Gelände des Konzentrationslagers Niederhagen Menschen aus ganz Europa untergebracht. KZ-Häftlinge und 'Volksdeutsche' wurden Opfer der menschenverachtenden Ideologie des Nationalsozialismus. Nach dem Krieg lebten zunächst ehemalige Zwangsarbeitende und später deutsche Geflüchtete und Vertriebene aus Osteuropa auf dem Lagergelände. In den Biografien dieser Männer, Frauen und Kinder zeigt sich wie unter einer Lupe die deutsche und europäische Geschichte des 20. Jahrhunderts. Ausgewählte Lebenswege werden in diesem Sammelband vorgestellt. 192 pp. Deutsch.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - In the history of the European Communities, a declaration on European identity was adopted for the first time at the Copenhagen Summit in December 1973. Through this document, the heads of state and government set out a programmatic concept for further European integration, stronger internal cohesion and the emergence of a common foreign policy, in order to advance the unification process. After a short introduction, the book examines the background of the declaration, the role played by the founding member states, the states of the Northern enlargement (Denmark, Ireland and the United Kingdom), the Council of Europe, the European Council summit itself, and the European Court of Justice.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - The book explains how honour consciousness shapes the lives of Brazilian and Pakistani women in their countries of origin, and the relationship between honour, religion and gender highlighting the question: is honour consciousness experienced differently by men and women In this book, I explore how lived experiences of honour consciousness and religion in Brazil and Pakistan are hybridised and operate on a spectrum and are manifested through gender power relations and demonstrated through 'moderate' and 'extreme' notions of honour consciousness, and how these are transmitted to Australia. These concepts give a new epistemological perspective to the use of Hegel and Foucault within gender studies.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Based on 30 years of fieldwork in the Niger Delta, this book debunks the determinism of the resource curse theory in Nigeria, Africa's leading oil producer and the most populous country on the continent. It rather shows that oil and gas production is only one element of a social problem with much deeper roots. It also investigates the role played by the youth, a key issue in a society where half of the population is under 18 years old. To understand the multiple causes of the crisis, it thus delves into the complexity of a rich history.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Trauma is a brief term for a complex phenomenon, a linguistic vessel for experiences that can hardly be put into speech. Its terminological vagueness has made the concept of trauma a permanent guest in discourses beyond the clinical context. This volume offers a scholarly reflection on the hermeneutical foundations of the concept of trauma: What do we mean by it What different avenues of comprehension are open, given our varying cultural and linguistic backgrounds And are we aware that understanding itself can be seen as an attempt to avoid trauma's gravity These questions were discussed during the DFG-funded international interdisciplinary conference 'Readings of Trauma', which took place in Marburg in April 2022 and brought together scholars from Germany, the Netherlands, Great Britain, the USA and South Africa to compare their hermeneutical perspectives on biblical and modern trauma narratives through the lenses of theology, literature, psychology, and psychoanalysis. 287 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - This book offers a historical and historiographical analysis of the Spanish asiento de negros, a contract between the Spanish Monarchy and private parties to introduce specific number of enslaved Africans to Spanish America. As the Spanish American market was the largest single market for enslaved people prior to 1720, studying this colonial contract is essential for understanding the development of the most significant colonial contract of the long 17th century. The asiento framed the European transatlantic slave trade for nearly two centuries and shaped much of the political economy of the Spanish Atlantic empire. This book is unique in providing the first comprehensive study of the asiento since George Scelle's 1906 work (La traite négrière aux Indes de Castille. Contracts et traités d'assiento, 2 vols.). Unlike Scelle, who focused on legal frameworks and presented the monarchy's perspective, this book examines the asientistas themselves, offering insights into their business decisions and organizations. It concentrates on the period that gave rise to the idea of an asiento and the Habsburg-era asientos (1595-1713), preceding the so-called Bourbon reforms.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Thinking with Castoriadis explores the work of the Greek-French philosopher Cornelius Castoriadis who developed a ground-breaking philosophy of imagination and social creation--a theory of how societies come into being. The volume explores the many-sided implications of Castoriadis' social thought and the way it intersects with and diverges from other major currents of social theory and philosophy: civilizational, urbanist, Hellenist, meta-historical, hermeneutical, phenomenological, ontological, antinomical, and Kantian. Contributors to the volume are long-time participants in an annual conference on Castoriadis' work that ran for 15 years in Sydney and Melbourne.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - The Epistles of the Brethren of Purity (9th-10th cent.) constitute one of the most enigmatic works in the history of Islamic philosophy. This book presents an in-depth study of the Epistles and its two summaries. Mattila argues that the Ikhwanian corpus evolved from a mainly philosophical encyclopedia of the Epistles to the largely religious treatises of its summaries. Based on philological analysis, the book's first part shows the gradual transformation of the contents of the Epistles. The second part demonstrates that the Comprehensive Epistle was not composed by the same authors but instead represents an Isma?ili adaptation of the encyclopedia.
