Book Synopsis Jenseits der Diskurse by : Hans Erich Bödeker
Download or read book Jenseits der Diskurse written by Hans Erich Bödeker and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Enlightenment is discourse, and where it became historically influential, it is life-organizing practice. Diversity and coherence of enlightened practices were part of the organized operations of institutions that incorporated enlightened discourse. Enlightenment spawned and influenced institutions, and, from the perspective of practical orientation, Enlightenment lived within institutions. Contributions in this volume also address a spectrum of other subjects. They are presented in comparative perspective to enlightened institutions such as schools, libraries, and poor houses, from practical perspectives of everyday life such as politics, administration, education, religion, and literature, and of the geographical perspectives of France, the old German Reich, Italy, and Denmark. German text.
Book Synopsis Cameralism and the Enlightenment by : Ere Nokkala
Download or read book Cameralism and the Enlightenment written by Ere Nokkala and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-11-26 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cameralism and the Enlightenment reassesses the relationship between two key phenomena of European history often disconnected from each other. It builds on recent insights from global history, transnational history and Enlightenment studies to reflect on the dynamic interactions of cameralism, an early modern set of practices and discourses of statecraft prominent in central Europe, with the broader political, intellectual and cultural developments of the Enlightenment world. Through contributions from prominent scholars across the field of Enlightenment studies, the volume analyzes eighteenth-century cameralist authors’ engagements with commerce, colonialism and natural law. Challenging the caricature of cameralism as a German, land-locked version of mercantilism, the volume reframes its importance for scholars of the Enlightenment broadly conceived. This volume goes beyond the typical focus on Britain and France in studies of political economy, widening perspectives about the dissemination of ideas of governance, happiness and reform to focus on multidirectional exchanges across continental Europe and beyond during the eighteenth century. Emphasizing the practice of theory, it proposes the study of the porosity of ideas in their exchange, transmission and mediation between spaces and discourses as a key dimension of cultural and intellectual history.
Book Synopsis The Holy Roman Empire, Reconsidered by : Jason Philip Coy
Download or read book The Holy Roman Empire, Reconsidered written by Jason Philip Coy and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2010-10-01 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Holy Roman Empire has often been anachronistically assumed to have been defunct long before it was actually dissolved at the beginning of the nineteenth century. The authors of this volume reconsider the significance of the Empire in the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth centuries. Their research reveals the continual importance of the Empire as a stage (and audience) for symbolic performance and communication; as a well utilized problem-solving and conflict-resolving supra-governmental institution; and as an imagined political, religious, and cultural "world" for contemporaries. This volume by leading scholars offers a dramatic reappraisal of politics, religion, and culture and also represents a major revision of the history of the Holy Roman Empire in the early modern period.

Download or read book Discourses of Decline written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2022-01-17 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores the relevance of decline within the republican tradition. While scholarship on republicanism thrives, the idea of decline, which has been prominent in republican theory since antiquity, has received relatively little attention. The essays in this volume take a broad cultural perspective and study a wide variety of authors and (con)texts to situate decline among the key concepts in the history of republicanism. Most contributions focus on the Dutch Republic during the Age of Enlightenment and Revolutions, the area of expertise of Wyger Velema, to whom this volume is dedicated. Other case studies include early modern Spain and Venice, the German Enlightenment, and the Weimar Republic. Contributors are: Remieg Aerts, Hans Erich Bödeker, Wiep van Bunge, Lisa Kattenberg, Wessel Krul, Matthijs Lok, Alessandro Metlica, Ida Nijenhuis, Eleá de la Porte, Jan Rotmans, Niek van Sas, Freya Sierhuis, and Lina Weber.

Book Synopsis Uncertain Destinies and Destinations by : Natalie Fritz
Download or read book Uncertain Destinies and Destinations written by Natalie Fritz and published by Schüren Verlag. This book was released on 2022-05-01 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Media-produced images of people on the move and religion influence our conceptions of migration. These images have varied content and intent. Some provide awareness of the frequently disturbing situation of people who have lost everything, who have had to leave their homes and families and are desperately searching for new possibilities. Others exploit the traumatic topic and the fate of its subjects to entertain their audience with sensational news, which may include images of vast streams of people making their way to a safe haven in new countries. The mediatization of the phenomenon of flight introduces new pictures and perceptions into current debates about migration. It also requires that we interrogate how we view and engage such images and audiovisual documents. Ethical debates about responsibilities combine with questions about the role of religion and its functions. The present volume approaches the subject of migration and religion from an interdisciplinary perspective with a focus on audiovisual representation. The contributions consider feature films, documentaries, television reports, short films, and press photos.
Book Synopsis Hiob Ludolf and Johann Michael Wansleben by :
Download or read book Hiob Ludolf and Johann Michael Wansleben written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-12-11 with total page 605 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hiob Ludolf (1624-1704) and Johann Michael Wansleben (1635-1679), the master and his erstwhile student could not be more different. Ludolf was a celebrated member of the Republic of Letters and the towering authority on Ethiopian studies. Wansleben, himself a brilliant scholar and, unlike Ludolf, a seasoned traveller in the Middle East, converted to Catholicism and eventually died impoverished and marginalized. Both stood at the centre of the burgeoning study of Ethiopia and spent a formative part of their career in middle sized Duchy of Saxe-Gotha which for several years played a pivotal role in Ethiopian-European encounters. This volume offers in-depth studies of the remarkable life and work of these two scholars in a broader intellectual, political, and confessional context.
Download or read book Boris Groys written by Boris Groys and published by Hatje Cantz Verlag. This book was released on 2012-03-30 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In einer Zeit, in der der Austausch mit der Welt meist über das Internet erfolgt, wird dieser vorwiegend durch Vorgaben und Formate der Suchmaschine Google reguliert, die für den Philosophen und Medientheoretiker Boris Groys damit die traditionelle Rolle der Philosophie und Religion eingenommen hat. Philosophische Vorläufer für das Auflösen von Diskursen, die Emanzipation der Wörter von grammatikalischen Strukturen und damit ihre Gleichstellung, wie es von der »philosophischen Maschine« Google betrieben wird, reichen von Platon über den Strukturalismus de Saussures bis zur Dekonstruktion Derridas. Eine weitere Entsprechung findet die Entstehung kontextbefreiter Wortwolken in der Avantgarde-Kunst des 20. Jahrhundert, speziell der Konzeptkunst der 1960er und 70er Jahre. Als eine der Folgen der radikalen Befreiung der Wörter benennt Groys den »Kampf um den Zugang zur Wahrheit als solcher – verstanden als die Gesamtsumme aller materiell existierenden Kontexte. Er ist ein Kampf um das utopische Ideal des freien Informationsflusses – der freien Wanderschaft befreiter Wörter durch die Gesamtheit des gesellschaftlichen Raums«. Der Philosoph, Kunstkritiker und Medientheoretiker Boris Groys (*1947) ist Global Distinguished Professor an der Faculty of Arts and Science der New York University. Sprache: Deutsch/Englisch
Book Synopsis Languages of Reform in the Eighteenth Century by : Susan Richter
Download or read book Languages of Reform in the Eighteenth Century written by Susan Richter and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-10-18 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Societies perceive "Reform" or "Reforms" as substantial changes and significant breaks which must be well-justified. The Enlightenment brought forth the idea that the future was uncertain and could be shaped by human beings. This gave the concept of reform a new character and new fields of application. Those who sought support for their plans and actions needed to reflect, develop new arguments, and offer new reasons to address an anonymous public. This book aims to compile these changes under the heuristic term of "languages of reform." It analyzes the structures of communication regarding reforms in the 18th century through a wide variety of topics.
Book Synopsis Parties, Governments and Elites by : Philipp Harfst
Download or read book Parties, Governments and Elites written by Philipp Harfst and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-04-26 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parties, governments and elites are at the core of the study of democracy. The traditional view is that parties as collective actors play a paramount role in the democratic process. However, this classical perspective has been challenged by political actors, observers of modern democracy as well as political scientists. Modern political parties assume different roles, contemporary leaders can more heavily influence politics, governments face new constraints and new collective bodies continue to form, propose new ways of participation and policy making, and attract citizens and activists. In the light of these observations, the comparative study of democracy faces a number of important and still largely unsolved questions that the present volume will address.
Book Synopsis Transitional Justice in Post-Revolutionary Tunisia (2011–2013) by : Domenica Preysing
Download or read book Transitional Justice in Post-Revolutionary Tunisia (2011–2013) written by Domenica Preysing and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-01-28 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Domenica Preysing offers a critical reading of “transitional justice” that focuses on political dynamics in post-revolutionary Tunisia, from the ouster of president Ben Ali in January 2011 until the adoption of transitional justice bill in December 2013. She explores the role, structure and characteristics of evolving transitional justice policy discourse to provide a better understanding of how, by who, and to what effect the policy label “transitional justice” is progressively filled with meaning. She shows that conflicting interpretations of both the past and the present have been both deeply embedded in and an expression of the dynamic context of domestic political transformation, as old and new elites struggle over the political identity and direction of post-Ben Ali Tunisia.
Book Synopsis Knowledge, Normativity and Power in Academia by : Aisha-Nusrat Ahmad
Download or read book Knowledge, Normativity and Power in Academia written by Aisha-Nusrat Ahmad and published by Campus Verlag. This book was released on 2018-02-15 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite its capacity to produce knowledge that can directly influence policy and affect social change, academia is still often viewed as a stereotypical ivory tower, detached from the tumult of daily life. Knowledge, Normativity, and Power in Academia argues that, in our current moment of historic global unrest, the fruits of the academy need to be examined more closely than ever. This collection pinpoints the connections among researchers, activists, and artists, arguing that--despite what we might think--the knowledge produced in universities and the processes that ignite social transformation are inextricably intertwined. Knowledge, Normativity, and Power in Academia provides analysis from both inside and outside the academy to show how this seemingly staid locale can still provide space for critique and resistance.
Book Synopsis Zur Sozialen Konstruktion von Citizenship. Dominante Diskurse und widerspenstige Praktiken by : Felix Mayer
Download or read book Zur Sozialen Konstruktion von Citizenship. Dominante Diskurse und widerspenstige Praktiken written by Felix Mayer and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2014-04-29 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2010 in the subject Social Studies (General), grade: 1,3, Humboldt-University of Berlin (Institut für Sozialwissenschaften), course: Citizenship and Immigration, language: English, abstract: Um Anerkennung für ihre eigenen Praktiken der Integration innerhalb der Mehrheitsgesellschaft zu erlangen, beteiligen sich Menschen mit Migrationshintergrund an der sozialen Konstruktion von Citizenship. In Deutschland findet diese soziale Konstruktion auf dem Boden des Integrationsdiskurses satt. Das Wesen eines Diskurses ist es, dass er nicht das Produkt einer/eines einzelnen Autorin/Autors ist, sondern in einem Prozess der Aushandlung zwischen mit mehr oder weniger Macht ausgestatteten Teilnehmer_innen sozial konstruiert wird. Der Begriff des Integrationsdiskurses liefert deshalb eine gute Folie, unter der die Beteiligung von Menschen mit Migrationshintergrund an der Integrationsdebatte untersucht werden kann. Die Leitfragen dieser Arbeit sind: 1) Wie partizipieren Menschen mit Migrationshintergrund am Integrationsdiskurs? 2) Wie verändern sie das gesellschaftliche Verständnis von Citizenship? Im Folgenden wird zunächst ein Analysemodell entwickelt, mit dem Diskurse analysiert werden können. Dabei interessiert mich insbesondere, welche Rolle dominante Diskurse sowie Interventionen von mit weniger Macht Ausgestatteten in der sozialen Konstruktion von Citizenship spielt. Anschließend werden verschiedene Studien, die das Engagement von Menschen mit Migrationshintergrund untersuchen, daraufhin analysiert, inwiefern sie Anhaltspunkte dafür bieten, wie diese sich an der sozialen Konstruktion von Citizenship beteiligen. Im abschließenden Fazit sollen die Ergebnisse unter einer Antwort auf die Leitfrage zusammengefasst dargestellt werden.
