Book Synopsis Encounters with Islam in German Literature and Culture by : James R. Hodkinson
Download or read book Encounters with Islam in German Literature and Culture written by James R. Hodkinson and published by Camden House. This book was released on 2009 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: German-language writings about Islam not only reveal much about Islamic culture but also about the European "home" culture. Islam has been a rich topic in German-language literature since the middle ages, and the writings about it not only reveal much about Islamic culture but also about the European "home" culture. Many of the early essays in this chronologically arranged volume uncover fresh evidence of how German writers used images of Islam-as-other to define their individual subject positions as well as to define the German nation and the Christian religion. The perspectives of many contemporary writers are, however, far removed from such a polar opposition of cultures. Their experience of the German-Islamic encounter is complicated by a crucial factor: many of them emerge from Muslim migrant communities such as the German-Turkish community. The culturally hybrid origins of these writers and their expression of experiences and ideologies that cross boundaries of East and West, Christendom and Islam, strongly affect the findings of the essays as the volume moves toward the present. The texts discussed include travelogues and other firsthand encounters with Islam; reports for colonial authorities; aesthetic treatises on Islamic art; literary, essayistic, and theological writing on Islamic religious practice; the incorporation of characters, situations, and settings from the Islamic world into fiction or drama; and fictional and autobiographical writing by Muslims in German.

Book Synopsis Theatre of Real People by : Ulrike Garde
Download or read book Theatre of Real People written by Ulrike Garde and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-05-19 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theatre of Real People offers fresh perspectives on the current fascination with putting people on stage who present aspects of their own lives and who are not usually trained actors. After providing a history of this mode of performance, and theoretical frameworks for its analysis, the book focuses on work developed by seminal practitioners at Berlin's Hebbel am Ufer (HAU) production house. It invites the reader to explore the HAU's innovative approach to Theatre of Real People, authenticity and cultural diversity during the period of Matthias Lilienthal's leadership (2003–12). Garde and Mumford also elucidate how Theatre of Real People can create and destabilise a sense of the authentic, and suggest how Authenticity-Effects can present new ways of perceiving diverse and unfamiliar people. Through a detailed analysis of key HAU productions such as Lilienthal's brainchild X-Apartments, Mobile Academy's Blackmarket, and Rimini Protokoll's 100% City, the book explores both the artistic agenda of an important European theatre institution, and a crucial aspect of contemporary theatre's social engagement.

Book Synopsis Dance and Modernism in Irish and German Literature and Culture by : Sabine Egger
Download or read book Dance and Modernism in Irish and German Literature and Culture written by Sabine Egger and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2019-12-02 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of scholarly articles and essays by dancers and scholars of ethnochoreology, dance studies, drama studies, cultural studies, literature, and architecture, Dance and Modernism in Irish and German Literature and Culture: Connections in Motion explores Irish-German connections through dance in choreographic processes and on stage, in literary texts, dance documentation, film, and architecture from the 1920s to today. The contributors discuss modernism, with a specific focus on modern dance, and its impact on different art forms and discourses in Irish and German culture. Within this framework, dance is regarded both as a motif and a specific form of spatial movement, which allows for the transgression of medial and disciplinary boundaries as well as gender, social, or cultural differences. Part 1 of the collection focuses on Irish-German cultural connections made through dance, while part 2 studies the role of dance in Irish and German literature, visual art, and architecture.
Download or read book Son of God written by Garrick V. Allen and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2019-02-08 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In antiquity, “son of god”—meaning a ruler designated by the gods to carry out their will—was a title used by the Roman emperor Augustus and his successors as a way to reinforce their divinely appointed status. But this title was also used by early Christians to speak about Jesus, borrowing the idiom from Israelite and early Jewish discourses on monarchy. This interdisciplinary volume explores what it means to be God’s son(s) in ancient Jewish and early Christian literature. Through close readings of relevant texts from multiple ancient corpora, including the Hebrew Bible, the New Testament, the Dead Sea Scrolls, Greco-Roman texts and inscriptions, early Christian and Islamic texts, and apocalyptic literature, the chapters in this volume engage a range of issues including messianism, deification, eschatological figures, Jesus, interreligious polemics, and the Roman and Jewish backgrounds of early Christianity and the authors of the Dead Sea Scrolls. The essays in this collection demonstrate that divine sonship is an ideal prism through which to better understand the deep interrelationship of ancient religions and their politics of kingship and divinity. In addition to the editors, the contributors to this volume include Richard Bauckham, Max Botner, George J. Brooke, Jan Joosten, Menahem Kister, Reinhard Kratz, Mateusz Kusio, Michael A. Lyons, Matthew V. Novenson, Michael Peppard, Sarah Whittle, and N. T. Wright.
Book Synopsis Gefährliche Nähe [German-language Edition] by : Michail Logvinov
Download or read book Gefährliche Nähe [German-language Edition] written by Michail Logvinov and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2014-03-01 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Salafism and jihadism are an important focus of inner-German security discussions. The Salafi proselytizing is more successful than ever, and the jihad in Afghanistan or Syria pulls Islamists from Germany.This collection offers an examination of currently virulent phenomena of Salafism and jihadism from different perspectives. It is sometimes claimed that either Islam and violence or religion and terror go hand in hand; the authors of this volume aim to show that this is not so. Using the methods of social science to determine whether and under what conditions such a dangerous proximity comes about, this book offers insight into which actors are being looked for by extremists to exploit and to use as self-fulfilling prophecies.To this end, the authors develop innovative analytical concepts: Among other things, a process of co-radicalization and an attitude-based approach to the study of Salafist networks are described.The book makes an important contribution to the current debate by not presenting the potentially dangerous proximity of Islam and violence as a social fact, but describes it as a factor that can be influenced and understood.Salafismus und Dschihadismus stehen im Mittelpunkt innerdeutscher Sicherheitsdiskussionen. Die salafistische Missionierung ist erfolgreich wie nie zuvor, und der Dschihad in Afghanistan oder Syrien zieht die Islamisten aus Deutschland an. Der vorliegende Sammelband beleuchtet aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven die derzeit virulenten Phänomene des Salafismus und Dschihadismus. Weder soll damit plakativ eine Nähe von Islam und Gewalt, Religion und Terror behauptet noch eine solche pauschal geleugnet werden. Vielmehr wird mit sozialwissenschaftlichen Methoden erklärt, ob und unter welchen Bedingungen eine solche gefährliche Nähe zustande kommt, welche Akteure sie suchen, instrumentalisieren oder sie zur sich selbst erfüllenden Prophezeiung werden lassen. Zu diesem Zweck entwickeln die Autoren innovative Analysekonzepte: Unter anderem werden ein Prozess der Co-Radikalisierung und ein attitüdenbasierter Ansatz zur Untersuchung salafistischer Netzwerke beschrieben.Der Band leistet einen wichtigen Beitrag zur aktuellen Diskussion, indem er die gefährliche potentielle Nähe von Islam und Gewalt nicht etwa als soziales Faktum präsentiert, sondern als beeinflussbare Größe beschreibt und verständlich macht.
Book Synopsis New Masculinities in Contemporary German Literature by : Frauke Matthes
Download or read book New Masculinities in Contemporary German Literature written by Frauke Matthes and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-05-13 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The complex nexus between masculinity and national identity has long troubled, but also fascinated the German cultural imagination. This has become apparent again since the fall of the Iron Curtain and the turn of the millennium when transnational developments have noticeably shaped Germany’s self-perception as a nation. This book examines the social and political impact of transnationalism with reference to current discourses of masculinity in novels by five contemporary male German-language authors. Specifically, it analyses how conceptions of the masculine interact with those of nationality, ethnicity, and otherness in the selected texts and assesses the new masculinities that result from those interactions. Exploring how local discourses of masculinity become part of transnational contexts in contemporary writing, the book moves a consideration of masculinities from a "native" into a transnational sphere.
Book Synopsis Türkisch-deutscher Kulturkontakt und Kulturtransfer by : Şeyda Ozil
Download or read book Türkisch-deutscher Kulturkontakt und Kulturtransfer written by Şeyda Ozil and published by V&R unipress GmbH. This book was released on 2011 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ^TTurkisch-Deutscher Kulturkontakt und Kulturtransfer: Kontroversen und Lernprozesse ^Aedited by Seyda Ozil, Michael Hofmann and Yasemin Dayioglu-Yucel ^DGerman description: Zu turkisch-deutschen Beziehungen wurde und wird viel geforscht. Allerdings treffen die Einzeldisziplinen selten zusammen, um ihre Ergebnisse und Handlungsspielraume fur die interkulturelle Praxis in Deutschland und der Turkei zu diskutieren. Diese Lucke will dieser Band schliessen helfen: Er versammelt Beitrage aus den Bereichen Sprach-, Literatur- und Medienwissenschaft, Soziologie, Politologie und anderen turkisch-deutschen Kontaktfeldern. Wissenschaftler aus der Turkei, Deutschland und den USA thematisieren z.B. die EU-Beitrittsverhandlungen, die Gotteskriegerkonfigurationen in der deutschsprachigen Gegenwartsliteratur und das Deutschlandbild in turkischen Filmen, deutsch-turkisches Brain Drain, interkulturelles Lernen und Literaturdidaktik, turkische Schulen in Deutschland sowie Mehrsprachigkeit und literarische Ubersetzung. So geraten auch kontroverse Aspekte im turkisch-deutschen Kontakt in den Blick, denn weder eine Betonung vermeintlich unuberwindbarer Widerspruche noch eine harmonisierende Verdrangung von Konflikten sind zielfuhrend, wenn es um eine Verbesserung der turkisch-deutschen Beziehungen geht.
Book Synopsis Encounters with Hellenism by : Cilliers Breytenbach

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume deals with the encounter of Early Christianity with Hellenistic culture, particularly with the question of ancient rhetorical influence on the First Letter of Clement. It contains reprints of two classical studies by A. von Harnack and W. Jaeger, which were seminal for the understanding the letter against a Hellenistic background, furthermore it makes an important essay of the Dutch scholar W.C. van Unnik on the literary and rhetorical genre of First Clement (genos symbouleutikon) for the first time available in English. The editors also present two new studies: Breytenbach describes the Hellenistic background of Clement's use of metaphorical language and Welborn questions the traditional dating of First Clement on the basis of an analysis of the rhetorical situation.

Book Synopsis Notions of Time in Deuterocanonical and Cognate Literature by : Stefan Beyerle
Download or read book Notions of Time in Deuterocanonical and Cognate Literature written by Stefan Beyerle and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2021-12-20 with total page 706 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive investigation of notions of "time" in deuterocanonical and cognate literature, from the ancient Jewish up to the early Christian eras, requires further scholarship. The aim of this collection of articles is to contribute to a better understanding of "time" in deuterocanonical literature and pseudepigrapha, especially in Second Temple Judaism, and to provide criteria for concepts of time in wisdom literature, apocalypticism, Jewish and early Christian historiography and in Rabbinic religiosity. Essays in this volume, representing the proceedings of a conference of the "International Society for the Study of Deuterocanonical and Cognate Literature" in July 2019 at Greifswald, discuss concepts and terminologies of "time", stemming from novellas like the book of Tobit, from exhortations for the wise like Ben Sira, from an apocalyptic time table in 4 Ezra, the book of Giants or Daniel, and early Christian and Rabbinic compositions. The volume consists of four chapters that represent different approaches or hermeneutics of "time:" I. Axial Ages: The Construction of Time as "History", II. The Construction of Time: Particular Reifications, III. Terms of Time and Space, IV. The Construction of Apocalyptic Time. Scholars and students of ancient Jewish and Christian religious history will find in this volume orientation with regard to an important but multifaceted and sometimes disparate topic.
