Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die politische Geschichte des Mittelalters muss im Spannungsfeld zwischen fragmentierter Überlieferung, geschichtswissenschaftlichen Erkenntnissen und modernen gesellschaftlichen Diskursen immer wieder neu geschrieben werden. Anlässlich des 80. Geburtstags von Hagen Keller haben frühere Mitarbeiter*innen darüber diskutiert. Damit dokumentieren die Beiträge nicht nur die Breite der Themen, zu denen Hagen Kellers Œuvre substanzielle Impulse gegeben hat, sondern auch eine autoreflexive, problemfokussierte Denkrichtung, die die Kooperation mit ihm geprägt hat. On the occasion of Hagen Keller's 80th birthday, former collaborators have discussed how political history of the Middle Ages must always be rewritten in the field between fragmented tradition, historiographical findings and modern social discourses. In this way, the contributions document not only the breadth of topics to which Hagen Keller's œuvre has provided substantial impulses, but also an autoreflexive, problem-focused line of thought that has shaped the cooperation with him.

Book Synopsis Victors and Vanquished in the Euro-Mediterranean by : Johannes Pahlitzsch
Download or read book Victors and Vanquished in the Euro-Mediterranean written by Johannes Pahlitzsch and published by V&R unipress. This book was released on 2024-03-11 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volume presents a comparative perspective on victors and vanquished according to the categories of remembering victory and defeat, practices of celebrating victory and triumphs as well as the culture of dealing with the vanquished. Specifically, the representation of victory and defeat in Byzantine literature of the 10th–12th centuries is contrasted with commemorative practices in early Russia, and the reflection of military events in courtly music of the 15th century is examined. In addition, the practices of celebrating victories in England in the High and Late Middle Ages are explored, as is the treatment of the defeated and the subjugated in the Frankish Empire of the 9th century, in Norman southern Italy and in Byzantium.

Book Synopsis Christian Charismatic Movements by : Andrzej Siemieniewski
Download or read book Christian Charismatic Movements written by Andrzej Siemieniewski and published by Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht. This book was released on 2021-10-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New Testament shows the early Church as having both stable institutions and dynamic growth in charismatic ministries. In the twenty-first century, although many historically-determined inessentials have changed, the Church’s structure remains fundamentally the same. This study looks at New Testament ministries (Eph 4:11-12), Baptism in the Holy Spirit, and the history of the gift of tongues from the Acts of the Apostles through to the charismatics of our time, to see how these elements contribute to the fast-paced, global phenomenon we call the “pentecostalization” of modern Christianity. Our research shows that much of what appears to be novel in current ecclesial movements is the fruit of charisms that have been poured out from the beginning. The disciples of Christ are still bringing “out of his treasure what is new and old.”
Book Synopsis The Ceremonial of Audience by : Anna Kollatz
Download or read book The Ceremonial of Audience written by Anna Kollatz and published by V&R Unipress. This book was released on 2019-10-07 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Audiences are among the dominant elements of courtly life and may be referred to as a central aspect of representation of power in many societies. Audiences also served as a stage for negotiation and political decision-making. Beyond that, the ceremonial of audience acted as an integrative factor, strengthening the connections between the ruler and his subjects, the elite and his dynastic background. The ceremonial of audience thus reflects the structure, or at least the intended structure of rule. It thus allows us to get insight into the perception of the ruler in the respective society. The volume offers an interdisciplinary approach to forms and structures of audiences in different epochs and regions. Choosing a transcultural and diachronic perspective, it aims at delineating similarities and differences as well as possible lines of development of the ceremonial on a broad basis of case studies.

Book excerpt: This book deals with the philosopher Martin Heidegger and the chemo-physicist Ilya Prigogine, two prominent advocates of pioneering time concepts in the 20th century. Mike Sandbothe provides a trans-disciplinary introduction to modern debate on the problem of time and also suggests how the basic tendencies in this debate might be pragmatically interlinked.
Book Synopsis Rooms for Manoeuvre by : Jerzy Kochanowski
Download or read book Rooms for Manoeuvre written by Jerzy Kochanowski and published by V&R Unipress. This book was released on 2021-09-06 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volume focuses on emerging "rooms for manoeuvre" in the socialist societies of Central and Eastern Europe after the Second World War. Unlike in other works, these areas of activity are not viewed as isolated spheres where citizens could act independently from political and societal constraints. They are rather conceptualized here as geographical, social or institutional spaces whose existence was either outside of political control or more or less intentionally allowed by authorities and other decision-makers. The contributions investigate how East Germans, Poles, Romanians, Slovaks and Czechs coped with the limitations of socialist reality. How did they adopt and successfully adapt given norms to their own specific interests? To what extent were the resulting "rooms for manoeuvre" not only essential aspects of the state socialist system, but even necessary to stabilize it?
Book Synopsis Dance as Third Space by : Heike Walz
Download or read book Dance as Third Space written by Heike Walz and published by Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht. This book was released on 2021-12-06 with total page 421 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dance plays an important role in many religious traditions, in rites of passage, processions, healing rituals or festivals. But it is also controversial, especially in Christianity. Colonial European Christian discourses tend to separate dance from religion(s) and spirituality. This volume explores dance as "Third Space", following Homi Bhabha's postcolonial metaphor. The "Inter-Dance approach" combines interdisciplinary theoretical considerations with case studies. International experts examine dance controversies and discourses from the early church to World Christianity, as well as in Hasidic Judaism, Greek mysteries, Islamic Sufism, West African Togolese religions, and Afro-Brazilian Umbanda. Christian dance theologies are unfolded and the boundary-crossing potential of dance in interreligious and intercultural encounters is explored. The volume breaks new ground in how dance as ephemeral performative art, embodied thought and gendered discourse can transform studies of religion.
Book Synopsis Beyond Borders by : Agnieszka Adamowicz-Pośpiech
Download or read book Beyond Borders written by Agnieszka Adamowicz-Pośpiech and published by V&R Unipress. This book was released on 2022-01-17 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Der vorliegende dreisprachige Band konzentriert sich auf Akte des transgressiven Handelns/Schreibens in ausgewählten Texten europäischer Literaturen, deren Autoren sich durch Geschlecht, Nationalität und Zeitrahmen unterscheiden. So berücksichtigen die hier gesammelten Beiträge eine doppelte Fragestellung: nach der Differenz und Überschreitung von Normen. Beide Begriffe werden zueinander in Beziehung gesetzt, um jeglichen Übergang in kulturell-sozial-historische Kontexte einbetten zu können. Die in chronologischer Reihenfolge präsentierten Analysen und Interpretationen von ausgewählten Texten deutscher, französischer, polnischer, russischer sowie antiker Literatur zeigen exemplarische Akte der Transgression in verschiedenen Kulturen und unter sich verändernden Zeitumständen und dokumentieren ästhetische Versuche, die bestehende Ordnung zu revidieren und eine neue zu schaffen. This trilingual volume focuses on acts of transgressive acting/writing in selected texts of European literatures whose authors differ in gender, nationality and time frame. Thus, the contributions collected here consider a double questioning: of difference and transgression of norms. Both concepts are set in relation to each other in order to be able to embed any transition in cultural-social-historical contexts. The analyses and interpretations of selected texts from German, French, Polish, Russian and ancient literature, presented in chronological order, show exemplary acts of transgression in different cultures and under changing time circumstances and document aesthetic attempts to revise the existing order and create a new one.
Book Synopsis Loyalty and Citizenship by : Gozde Yazici Corut
Download or read book Loyalty and Citizenship written by Gozde Yazici Corut and published by V&R Unipress. This book was released on 2021-12-06 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gozde Yazici Corut unfolds the details of everyday life and represents the local people as active agents - active, moreover, in relation both to the changing nature and effectiveness of the Ottoman state's assertion of territorial authority and also to the differences between policies and practices of the Russian and Ottoman Empires. Overall, she focuses on the end-of-empire border politics and the issue of Ottoman citizenship not only from the perspective of macro-level political developments and central state power but also in terms of the peripheral specificities of administration and the movements and subjecthood choices of people inhabiting the Russo-Ottoman borderland. The author presents a new type of multi-faceted account of borderland development in which ethno-religious considerations came to inform a somewhat messy production of sovereignty in the context of the modernizing transition between empire and nation-state.
Book Synopsis The Political Cult of the Dead in Ukraine by : Guido Hausmann
Download or read book The Political Cult of the Dead in Ukraine written by Guido Hausmann and published by V&R Unipress. This book was released on 2021-12-06 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ukrainian Euromaidan in 2013–14 and the ongoing Russian-Ukrainian war in the Eastern part of the country have posed new questions to historians. The volume investigates the relevance of the cults of the fallen soldiers to Ukraine's national history and state. It places the dead of the Euromaidan and the forms and functions of the emerging new cult of the dead in the context of older cults from pre-Soviet, Soviet and post-Soviet times from various Ukrainian regions until the end of the presidency of Petro Poroshenko in 2019. The contributions emphasize the importance of the grassroot level, of local and regional actors or memory entrepreneurs, myths of state origin and national defense demanding unity, and the dynamics of commemorative practices in the last thirty years in relation to pluralist and fragmented processes of nationand state-building. They contribute to new conceptualizations of the political cult of the dead.
Book Synopsis Jewish Literatures and Cultures in Southeastern Europe by : Renate Hansen-Kokoruš
Download or read book Jewish Literatures and Cultures in Southeastern Europe written by Renate Hansen-Kokoruš and published by Böhlau Wien. This book was released on 2021-10-11 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volume offers an overview of the diverse Jewish experiences in Southeastern Europe from the 19th to the 21st centuries, and the various forms and strategies of their representation in literature, the arts, historiography and philosophy. Southeastern Europe is characterized by a high degree of ethnical, religious and cultural diversity. Jews, whether Sephardim, Ashkenazim or Romaniots – settling there in different periods – experienced divergent life worlds which engendered rich cultural production. Though recent scholarly and popular interest in this heterogeneous region has grown impressively, Jewish cultural production is still an under-researched area. The volume offers an overview of the diverse Jewish experiences in Southeastern Europe from the 19th to the 21st centuries, and the various forms and strategies of their representation in literature, the arts, historiography and philosophy, thus creating a dialogue between Jewish studies, Balkan studies, and current literary and cultural theories.
Book Synopsis Defects of Consent in Consumer E-Commerce from the Polish Law Perspective by : Katarzyna Południak-Gierz
Download or read book Defects of Consent in Consumer E-Commerce from the Polish Law Perspective written by Katarzyna Południak-Gierz and published by V&R unipress. This book was released on 2021-10-11 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The regulation on defects of consent loses its usefulness and should be replaced by special regulations, more suited to the requirements of consumer e-commerce. The study’s main objective is to verify whether, due to the evolution of the concept of the declaration of intent, the emergence of non-individual consumer protection instruments, and technological developments the code regulation of defects in the declaration of will remains useful in the case of contracts concluded by consumers on the Internet. The impact of the development of the Internet environment on the applicability and effectiveness of this traditional private institution is analyzed. Mechanisms that, in practice, displace the regulation of vice of consent are indicated.
Book Synopsis Edwards, Germany, and Transatlantic Contexts by : Rhys Bezzant
Download or read book Edwards, Germany, and Transatlantic Contexts written by Rhys Bezzant and published by Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht. This book was released on 2021-12-06 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jonathan Edwards engaged in notable ways with the church in Germany through his writings on spirituality, theology and missiology, but this contribution has rarely been acknowledged in academic publications. In this book scholars who have an interest in both Edwards and the church in Europe offer contributions to a significant worldwide conversation on Edwards's texts and teachings. He found an ally in Martin Luther, sought out encouragement from German Pietists, and engaged with Western traditions of philosophy which proved useful in sharpening subsequent reflection on God's work in the world. Edwards was not just a remote colonial American pastor, but an active participant in the transatlantic republic of letters and contributed to the birth of the global missions movement, for which the church in Germany was itself a significant base.
Book Synopsis The Reformed and Celibate Pastor by : Seth D. Osborne
Download or read book The Reformed and Celibate Pastor written by Seth D. Osborne and published by Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht. This book was released on 2021-12-06 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Richard Baxter (1615–1691) was arguably the greatest English Puritan of the seventeenth century. He is well known for his ministerial manual "The Reformed Pastor", in which he expressed the unusual conviction that parish ministers were better off unmarried. And yet, Baxter seemed to contradict himself by marrying one of his parishioners, Margaret Charlton. Though Baxter claimed to be happily married, he continued to champion celibacy for the rest of his life. This book explores Baxter's argument for clerical celibacy by placing it in the context of his life and the turbulent events of seventeenth-century England. His viewpoint was shaped by several factors, including the Puritan literature he read, the context of his parish ministry, his burdensome model of soul care, and the formative life experiences shaping his theology and perspective. These factors not only explain why Baxter became the only Puritan to champion clerical celibacy but also why he continued to do so even after marrying.
