Softcover. Zustand: As New. 'Myths of Europe' delves into the identity of Europe, reassessing its cultural, literary, and political traditions in the 21st century. Over 20 contributors--historians, political scientists, literary scholars, and cultural historians from five countries--engage in a critical debate. They explore the relevance of the myths that have shaped Europe for centuries in the context of global politics post-9/11. The discussion raises questions about whether 'Old Europe' can sustain its traditional identity amidst the expansion of the European Union to include previously peripheral nations. It also examines Europe's historical and current interactions with non-European Others, particularly in light of rising immigration and asylum-seeking. Foundational myths, such as Hamlet and St. Nicholas, are acknowledged for their role in shaping European consciousness, yet they also reveal unsettling Eurocentric implications. The volume interrogates the viability of these myths today, considering their purpose and extent. Positioned at the intersection of culture and politics, this work is essential for those interested in the evolution of myth and the trajectory of Europe, addressing both its past and future.…

Zustand: Sehr Gut. Zustandsbeschreibung: Mängelexemplar. Gesammelte Aufsätze zur Biographie und Rezeption des Romantikers. Im 19. Jahrhundert entstand eine Vorstellung von Wackenroder als weltfernem Heiligen, die die Wackenroder-Rezeption bis heute entstellt hat. Die hier versammelten sechs Aufsätze wollen dagegen auf der Grundlage von biographischen Recherchen und Überprüfung des Quellenmaterials ein sachliches und wirklichkeitsgetreues Wackenroderbild entwerfen. Dabei werden mehrere bisher unveröffentlichte Dokumente und Zeugnisse zutage gefördert. Besonderer Nachdruck wird auf Wackenroders Tätigkeit als Kunsthistoriker und auf seine Rolle bei der Entstehung der germanistischen Philologie gelegt. Diejenigen Aufsätze, die bereits andernorts erschienen sind, wurden für den Abdruck überarbeitet und stark erweitert. 123 Seiten, broschiert (Helicon; Band 7/Peter Lang Verlag 1987). Statt EUR 30,95. Gewicht: 178 g - Softcover/Taschenbuch.…

Zustand: Sehr gut | Seiten: 295 | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | Myths of Europe focuses on the identity of Europe, seeking to re-assess its cultural, literary and political traditions in the context of the 21st century. Over 20 authors - historians, political scientists, literary scholars, art and cultural historians - from five countries here enter into a debate. How far are the myths by which Europe has defined itself for centuries relevant to its role in global politics after 9/11? Can 'Old Europe' maintain its traditional identity now that the European Union includes countries previously supposed to be on its periphery? How has Europe handled relations with the non-European Other in the past and how is it reacting now to an influx of immigrants and asylum seekers? It becomes clear that founding myths such as Hamlet and St Nicholas have helped construct the European consciousness but also that these and other European myths have disturbing Eurocentric implications. Are these myths still viable today and, if so, to what extent and for what purpose? This volume sits on the interface between culture and politics and is important reading for all those interested in the transmission of myth and in both the past and the future of Europe.…
