Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Entdeckt, erdacht, erfunden: 20 Göttinger
Book SynopsisGöttingen, "die Stadt, die Wissen schafft", die Stadt der Nobelpreisträger. Wegweisende Erfindungen gehen auf Göttinger zurück, manche in Göttingen entwickelte Idee ist wiederum längst vergessen. Einige brachten Fortschritt und Innovation, andere Skandale und Unglück, wieder andere sollten dem Erfinder zu großem Ruhm verhelfen, scheiterten aber schon in ihrer Entstehung. Jenseits der bekannten Namen wie Gauß und Weber wirft dieses Buch die Frage auf, wie Wissen in Göttingen in unterschiedlichen Bereichen und Jahrhunderten entwickelt wurde, zu welchem Preis mancher seine Forschung vorantrieb und welche Geschichte hinter den Ideen steht. Vom ersten Göttinger Nobelpreisträger Otto Wallach, der 1910 mit seinen Forschungen den Grundstein für die Herstellung von Duft- und Aromastoffen legte, über den Nukleus der Rassenideologie bis hin zum Kokain spannt der Sammelband einen Bogen über die kuriosesten, bahnbrechendsten und verwerflichsten Ideen auf, die ihren Ursprung in Göttingen nahmen.

University of Toronto Press Materializing Difference
Book SynopsisHow do objects mediate human relationships, and possess their own social and political agency? What role does material culture such as prestige consumption as well as commodity aesthetics, biographies, and ownership histories play in the production of social and political identities, differences, and hierarchies? How do (informal) consumer subcultures of collectors organize and manage themselves? Drawing on theories from anthropology and sociology, specifically material culture, consumption, museum, ethnicity, and post-socialist studies, Materializing Difference addresses these questions via analysis of the practices and ideologies connected to Gabor Roma beakers and roofed tankards made of antique silver. The consumer subculture organized around these objects defined as ethnicized and gendered prestige goods by the Gabor Roma living in Romania is a contemporary, second-hand culture based on patina-oriented consumption.

These changes have appears in a very short period of time, creating a host of implications for sports media processes and sports organisations as they grapple with athletes’ use of these media channels.

FILOSOFIA DEL SIGLO XX LA
Book SynopsisLa nueva obra del catedrático Rolando Pérez despliega una cartografía crítica del pensamiento filosófico del siglo XX, rastreando su génesis en el idealismo alemán hasta su proyección en el mundo contemporáneo.A lo largo de sus páginas, vemos cómo la antifilosofía y la corriente analítica sacudieron los cimientos tradicionales del pensamiento. Sus cuestionamientos metodológicos transformaron no solo los problemas abordados, sino también el modo mismo de hacer filosofía. Paralelamente, el diálogo entre filosofía y psicoanálisis abría territorios inexplorados, generando conceptualizaciones que ninguna de estas disciplinas hubiera alcanzado en solitario.No menos relevante resulta su lectura del existencialismo, abordado desde su doble vertiente filosófica y literaria, revelando cómo sus ideas permearon profundamente la cultura del siglo pasado. Su análisis de las aportaciones del feminismo y el poscolonialismo muestra cómo estas corrientes, al incorporar perspectivas históricamente silenciadas, no solo ampliaron el discurso filosófico sino que cuestionaron sus presupuestos más arraigados. El libro culmina trazando el arco que va del estructuralismo al posmodernismo, para desembocar en los interrogantes que plantea el poshumanismo frente a nuestra condición en tiempos de revolución tecnológica.Sin duda, un mapa imprescindible para orientarse en las transformaciones intelectuales que han modelado nuestra comprensión del mundo actual.

Bohlau Verlag Ein Labor der Sozialgeschichte: Die Entwicklung
Book SynopsisDer interdisziplinär angelegte Arbeitskreis fër moderne Sozialgeschichte wurde 1957 von Werner Conze und einer kleinen Gruppe von Historikern, Sozialwissenschaftlern, Ökonomen, Theologen und Juristen ins Leben gerufen. Hauptsächlich ging und geht es bis heute um ergebnisoffenes, kritisches Nachdenken ëber Methodik und Fragestellungen von Sozialgeschichte, in der Anfangszeit auch um deren institutionelle Durchsetzung im Zuge der Reorientierung der deutschen Geschichtswissenschaft nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg. Der Kreis entwickelte sich bald zu einem im deutschsprachigen Raum singulären und prominenten Forum innovativer Diskussionen. Zentrale inhaltliche Entwicklungen der deutschen Geschichtswissenschaft , wie beispielsweise seit 1972 das international einschlägige Lexikon -Geschichtliche Grundbegriffe wurden von ihm angestoßen. Dabei erweiterte sich der Perspektivrahmen mehr und mehr auf Gesamteuropa und inzwischen auch auf globale Zusammenhänge. Anhand vor allem der ungewöhnlich eingehend dokumentierenden Protokolle zeichnet Ulrich Engelhardt Entstehung und Tätigkeit des Arbeitskreises im Spiegel seiner Leitthemen nach.

Book SynopsisDer Band stellt den Unterricht in verschiedenen Fächern der philosophischen und der theologischen Fakultät vor, indem vor allem das Wirken bislang vernachlässigter Hallenser Professoren veranschaulicht wird. Die Forschung zur Universitätsgeschichte Halles war bisher stark auf Christian Thomasius, Christian Wolff und August Hermann Francke ausgerichtet. Dieser Band greift einen Komplementäraspekt auf. An ausgewählten Beispielen stellt er den Unterricht in Geschichte, Rhetorik und Homiletik vor und veranschaulicht das Wirken bislang vernachlässigter Hallenser Professoren wie Christoph Cellarius, Paul Anton, Johann Peter Ludewig und Daniel Herrnschmidt. Im Mittelpunkt der Interpretation stehen akademisches Kleinschrifttum (Dissertationen, Programme, Reden) und Vorlesungsnachschriften. Die unterrichtsgeschichtliche Perspektive ermöglicht neue Einblicke in den Wirkungsradius von Frühaufklärung und Pietismus im akademischen Alltag.
