Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Diese Ausgabe von 'L'Homme. Z. F. G.' widmet sich einem kritischen Rückblick auf nationale Erinnerungs- und Wissenschaftskulturen zum Ersten Weltkrieg. Dabei geht es primär um die Frage, inwieweit im schon 2012 einsetzenden Boom der darauf bezogenen wissenschaftlichen wie medial-öffentlichen Aktivitäten frauen- und geschlechtergeschichtliche Zugänge eine Rolle gespielt haben. Die Bilanzen der Fallstudien zu Deutschland/Österreich, Frankreich/Großbritannien, Italien, Portugal und Ungarn fallen unterschiedlich aus. In allen Beispielen zeigt sich aber, dass - wenn überhaupt - vor allem frauengeschichtliche Themen integriert wurden beziehungsweise das analytische Potenzial der Kategorie Geschlecht kaum ausgeschöpft wurde, um überkommene historiografische Konzepte oder Narrative zum Ersten Weltkrieg zu dezentralisieren und neu auszurichten.Aus dem Inhalt: Der Erste Weltkrieg in Deutschland und Österreich in frauen- und geschlechtergeschichtlicher Perspektive / Visual Representations of Women's Contribution to the First World War in France and Britain / Remembering the Great War in Portugal and Gender Perspectives / Commemoration Projects and Historiography in Hungary / Geschlechterspezifische Erinnerungsdiskurse in Italien / Gedenken an den Kriegswiderstand in Großbritannien / Im Gespräch mit Margaret R. Higonnet / Geschlechterbilder und -praktiken in der kaiserlichen Marine am Beispiel von Martin Niemöller. This issue of 'L'Homme. Z. F. G.' addresses a critical retro-perspective on national memory and academic cultures of the First World War. It specially focuses on the question of how far female and gender historical approaches played a role in the emerging boom in 2012 concerning the scientific and, media-public activities. The conclusions of the surveys regarding Germany/Austria, France/UK, Italy, Portugal and Hungary are various. However, in all examples it becomes clear that - if considered at all - especially female historical subjects were integrated or the analytical potential of the category gender was merely taken into consideration in order to decentralise and reshape historiographical concepts or narratives of the First Wold War.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Camps as a global and ubiquitous mass phenomenon of the present and a flexible isolation tool for/against specific socially, politically, or ethnically defined groups are at the centre of current policies and societal debates. In the present volume, the authors explore camps as (cultural) spaces in a broad sense and deal with their complex dimensions as sites of the Modern. They examine camp spaces and their social configurations, physical/architectural qualities, symbolic functions as well as cultural representations in an intent to define the inscribed ambivalences, inconsistencies and paradoxes of the phenomenon. Positioned within different disciplinary contexts (Contemporary History, Visual Studies, Architectural History, Refugee and Gender Studies), the assembled articles present a wide range of understandings and approaches to space, materiality and the relations between governance and agency. The contributors stress the entanglement of social structures, cultural discourse, institutionalisation, individual perception and appropriation. They show how the issue of camps can serve as cross-sectional matter for researchers in different fields in Cultural Theory and Contemporary History.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The First World War massively changed the scale and nature of the 'military veteran question' in Europe. The enormous impact of mass deaths and destruction, the demise of old empires, and the rise of new nation states resulting from total war made the fate of ex-soldiers into a key issue that shaped all societies in interwar Europe. The unprecedented number of combatants, together with the severity and frequency of injuries incurred in industrialized warfare, meant that the relationship between ex-soldiers and the state became a crucial issue for all governments, raising major questions about welfare provisions, social policy, party politics and national memory cultures. While there has been much recent research on war veterans in Germany and other European countries, other regions of Central and East-Central Europe have attracted noticeably less attention. For this reason, this special issue presents research on the comparative history of World War One veterans in Austria and Czechoslovakia. This transnational investigation breaks new ground by investigating two neighbouring states that showed distinct patterns of immediate post-war reconstruction, as well as of subsequent development.; The First World War massively changed the scale and nature of the 'military veteran question' in Europe.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Gedenktage eröffnen immer wieder eine öffentlich-mediale Arena für die Neuverhandlung des Gedächtnisses. Dabei verweist das zu Ende des 20. Jahrhunderts entstandene Format 'Gedenkjahr' auf ein gesteigertes Interesse für die Auseinandersetzung mit einer traumatischen Vergangenheit. Vor diesem Hintergrund wurde 2018 in Österreich ein 'Supergedenkjahr' mit zwei Brennpunkten begangen: 100 Jahre Gründung der Republik Österreich 1918 und 80 Jahre 'Anschluss' 1938. Die Ende 2017 geschlossene Koalition von ÖVP und FPÖ verlieh der Frage nach dem Umgang des offiziellen Österreich mit seiner Vergangenheit zusätzliche Brisanz. Die Analyse der politischen und öffentlichen Kommunikation im Gedenkjahr 2018 orientiert sich an methodisch innovativen Forschungsperspektiven: u.a. werden die offiziellen Social-Media-Einträge zentraler politischer Akteure mittels einer multimodalen qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse untersucht und das Austrian Media Corpus (AMC), eines der größten digitalen Text-Corpora im gesamten deutschen Sprachraum, in einem Digital Humanities-Pilotprojekt mit Text Mining-Methoden im Hinblick auf eine computergestützte, (semi-)automatische Erschließung semantischer Inhalte ausgewertet. Die Beiträge geben einen Einblick in die Debatten und Kontroversen des Gedenkjahres 2018, darüber hinaus aber auch in die neuen methodischen Potentiale einer Verschränkung zeitgeschichtlicher Fragestellungen mit Verfahren der Digital Humanities. Memorial days always offer a public-media arena for renegotiating memories. Here, the format 'memorial year' created by the end of the 20th century refers to an increasing interest in dealing with a traumatic past. With reference to this, Austria celebrated a 'Super memorial year' remembering the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Republic Austria and the 80th anniversary of the annexation to Nazi Germany in 1938. The contributions offer an insight in the debates and controversies surrounding the memorial year 2018. Furthermore, they present new methodical potentials of a connection of contemporary issues with methods of digital humanities.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The collapse of the communist states is regarded as the starting point of the new Europe. With this turning point, historical narratives have had to be rewritten in the post-socialist countries. Focusing on the little known case of Slovenia, this issue of zeitgeschichte offers a comprehensive survey of the transformations affecting collective memory and the writing of history in one post-communist country. The essays analyze the ways in which Slovenian society has grappled with traumatic historical events and thus give insight into the ongoing struggle over the interpretation of Slovenia's past. Given the proliferating illiberal tendencies in the political culture of numerous European countries, the strategies of historical revisionism described in this issue are likely to be of considerable interest not only to scholars interested specifically in the case of Slovenia.; The collapse of the communist states is regarded as the starting point of the new Europe.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Romantik. Journal for the Study of Romanticisms' is a multidisciplinary journal dedicated to the study of romantic-era cultural productions and concepts. The journal promotes innovative research across disciplinary borders. It aims to advance new historical discoveries, forward-looking theoretical insights and cutting-edge methodological approaches. The articles range over the full variety of cultural practices, including the written word, visual arts, history, philosophy, religion, and theatre during the romantic period (c. 1780-1840). But contributions to the discussion of pre- or post-romantic representations are also welcome. Since the romantic era was characterized by an emphasis on the vernacular, the title of the journal has been chosen to reflect the Germanic root of the word. But the journal is interested in all European romanticisms - and not least the connections and disconnections between them - hence, the use of the plural in the subtitle. Romantik is a peer-reviewed journal supported by the Nordic Board for Periodicals in the Humanities and Social Sciences (NOP-HS).…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This volume addresses an issue that was until recently taboo: children fathered by Black American GIs who were stationed in Europe during and after World War II and whose mothers were local citizens. They were born into societies that defined themselves as White and rejected this extremely visible portion of the so-called occupation children.Black and White are in this volume not (only) understood as descriptions of skin color, but above all as social constructs and political categories with racist attributions and effects. The authors of the contributions examine the manner in which these mixed-race children and their mothers were treated by their societies and the respective authorities; they assess the experiences and self-understandings of the individuals affected; they discuss their institutionalization and the strategy practiced by the youth welfare agencies of giving these children up for adoption abroad; and finally they highlight how African American couples in the USA interpreted the adoption of these mixed-race children from Europe as an act of Black resistance against White supremacy.; This volume addresses an issue that was until recently taboo: children fathered by Black American GIs who were stationed in Europe during and after World War II and whose mothers were local citizens.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - One of the oldest phenomena in the history of mankind is migration, whether peaceful or violent, voluntary or forced, barely noticeable outfl ow or mass movements. In the 19th century, regional migration to frontier territories, as for example in the Russian Empire or the United States of America, was a natural object of research. In the 1960s there was renewed interest in migration history in Western Europe due to the increase of immigration. With the collapse of the Soviet Union and the so-called Eastern Bloc, the history of borders came again into focus, leading to a new generation in migration history. This development was reinforced by the 'summer of migration' of 2015. The history of migration to Austria, especially during the Second Republic, has long been a topic overlooked by historians, but received increased attention since the 1980s. The present volume presents research currently being done on the history of migration to or through Austria.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Amateur film and amateur media practices have attracted increasing interest in recent decades in the context of the 'visual turn'. Questions of agency, participatory and political/militant film practices, and of representations of 'self' and 'other' are of interest as well as the institutions and networks of amateur productions. This special issue of 'zeitgeschichte' contributes to this field of research by examining international and transnational developments of amateur films in the period after the Second World War. The collected contributions analyze national specifics and regional shapings of practices as well as cultural constructions in amateur film and video, they trace transnational entanglements of amateur media and tackle cross-border amateur filmmaking and internationally and globally shared discursive references and uses of metaphors in video activism. The authors elaborate parallels to organizational structures in amateur film practices in specific sociopolitical and cultural contexts and discuss aspects of memory and the appropriation of hegemonic visual cultures in individual film practices.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - For many religious groups today, issues of gender identity, gender equality, gender roles, sexuality, sexual ethics, abortion, and equal marriage are the subject of much debate. Roman Catholic and evangelical groups - traditionally theologically opposed - share certain perspectives on social values and moral beliefs. Cooperation between these groups on political issues is well-attested in various societal contexts around the world concerning, for example, feminism, abortion, homosexuality, and 'gender' politics. Groups are challenged to renegotiate values and norms, an undertaking which entails potential for conflict. Ideological and religious debates no longer necessarily run along confessional or denominational lines, rather are reflected in processes of negotiation of values. This collection of case studies on issues of gender and sexuality in Christian groups includes critical reflections on both the Roman Catholic gender discourse and non- and inter-denominational groups, movements, publications, and personalities.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This monograph investigates the interplay of linguistics, theology, and cognitive science by analyzing the evolving theolinguistic matrices within religious and popular discourse. Focusing on English, German, and Ukrainian, it traces the diachronic interpretation of key religious concepts-righteousness, faith, and repentance-within Indo-European and Nostratic frameworks. Through comparative-historical methods and cognitive-matrix analysis, the authors reveal how these archetypal matrices shape theological communication across cultures. The work offers deep insights into the construction of religious meaning, engaging scholars in linguistics, theology, and cultural history to explore the relationship between language, faith, and identity.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The critical competencies essential for effective human functioning in the modern world encompass communicating proficiently in one's native language. This proficiency not only ensures successful communication but also plays a pivotal role in preserving community bonds, safeguarding national and cultural identities, enhancing personal cognitive development, facilitating a deeper understanding of the world, and nurturing meaningful interpersonal relationships. The contributors draw upon research outcomes from three primary domains: (1) Analysis of the grammatical and lexical system, (2) description of different language varieties and registers and (3) reconstruction of contemporary trends in education language and teaching. In doing so, they contribute to the ongoing study of and reflection on the significance of one's mother tongue in today's society. …

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In this volume, the authors discuss in detail LSP teaching in Poland and Slovenia. For this purpose, they deal with the basic areas of LSP teaching, starting with the definition of LSP, and then needs analysis, the development of syllabuses and curricula, the preparation of LSP teaching materials, the choice of appropriate teaching methodology and, last but not least, assessment. One chapter focuses on LSP teachers, discussing their roles and competences, pre-service and in-service education, professional development programmes, LSP teacher identity, and the professional challenges they need to negotiate in their teaching contexts and along their careers. EU projects to date in the field of LSP teacher education and professional development needs that address the growing and diverse needs of experienced and future LSP teachers are also presented (TRAILs, Catapult, and LSP-TEOC.Pro). Last, based on interviews with language teacher educators in Poland and Slovenia, the perspective is changed to describe the relevant elements of the pre-service education and in-service professional development as seen by this very important group of stakeholders.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book presents numerous instruments which create postmortal succession on the example of Polish law. Alongside the solution in inheritance law, one may apply specific inheritance (e.g. of agricultural farms) that benefits only such heirs who meet additional requirements, as well as undertake legal acts that allow to decide on heritability (or non-heritability) character of rights and duties (e.g. within the contract of mandate or company contracts). There are also numerous legislative instruments that allow for succession otherwise than by inheritance so that particular persons (and not heirs) benefit after the decedent. Such instruments include regulations of civil law but also e.g. banking law, social insurance law which are often comparable with nonprobate instruments (or willsubstitutes) under American law or German Sonderrechtsnachfolge.; Dissertationsschrift.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The volume is a collection of essays by acclaimed and widely published international scholars of 'space' working within different disciplines, such as social sciences, history, applied sciences and media theory, literary and cultural studies (American, Canadian, French, German, Mexican-American, and Polish). Their contributions substantiate the argument that the debate on 'space' has produced a polyphony of argumentation which resulted in the multiplication and diversification of perspectives and interpretations of the studied concept. The volume captures the present state of the most recent debate on 'space,' exploring the importance of its multifaceted nature evinced by the abundance of research on such related terms as 'border,' 'boundary,' and/or 'region.'. …

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This monograph delves into the complex relationship between language, religion, and culture, focusing on how religious discourse evolves and adapts across English, German, and Ukrainian contexts. By reconstructing theolinguistic matrices-the frameworks that encode religious beliefs-this work reveals how key concepts like faith, righteousness, and repentance are communicated, preserved, and transformed over time. Combining comparative linguistics with cognitive-semantic approaches, the volume offers strategic insights into the metaphorical and archetypal structures underlying religious language, bridging ancient traditions with modern communicative contexts.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The main theme of the volume is the exploration and identification of the fundamental principles involved in constructing and understanding the microstructures found within etymological references. The authors offer an in-depth examination of designing etymological dictionaries, focusing on the principles behind constructing their microstructures. It begins by exploring the evolution of lexicographic sources and their role in societal knowledge organization. The work then delves into the methodology of building dictionary entries, discussing the integration of traditional and cognitivesynergetic principles to better capture the linguistic nuances of words. Through comprehensive analysis and detailed examples, this volume provides a profound understanding of how etymological information is systematically organized and presented.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This study of collective American memory exposes the historical phenomenon of self-directed American imperialism, still frequently ignored or denied in the United States. Over the course of the 250 years of its history, this has taken the form of African American slavery, thwarted black motherhood, same-race slavery (both white and African American) as well as the extermination of indigenous American peoples. On the literary level, the study helps to broaden, or even modify, the present perspective on the oeuvres of four major American writers, i. e., William Faulkner, Toni Morrison, Louise Erdrich, and Cormac McCarthy, by pointing to the intertwining of their themes, motifs, and techniques of writing to form an intricate pattern of the intertextualized collective memory of the American nation.…
