Since it was first published in Hebrew in 2000, this provocative book has been garnering acclaim and stirring controversy for its bold reinterpretation of the relationship between Judaism and Christianity in the Middle Ages, especially in medieval Europe. Looking at a remarkably wide array of source material, Israel Jacob Yuval argues that the inter-religious polemic between Judaism and Christianity served as a substantial component in the mutual formation of each of the two religions. He investigates ancient Jewish Passover rituals; Jewish martyrs in the Rhineland who in 1096 killed their own children; Christian perceptions of those ritual killings; and events of the year 1240, when Jews in northern France and Germany expected the Messiah to arrive. Looking below the surface of these key moments, Yuval finds that, among other things, the impact of Christianity on Talmudic and medieval Judaism was much stronger than previously assumed and that a "rejection of Christianity" became a focal point of early Jewish identity. Two Nations in Your Womb will reshape our understanding of Jewish and Christian life in late antiquity and over the centuries.

"World music" emerged as a commercial and musical category in the 1980s, but in some sense music has always been global. Through the metaphor of encounters, Music and Globalization explores the dynamics that enable or hinder cross-cultural communication through music. In the stories told by the contributors, we meet well-known players such as David Byrne, Peter Gabriel, Sting, Ry Cooder, Fela Kuti, and Gilberto Gil, but also lesser-known characters such as the Senegalese Afro-Cuban singer Laba Sosseh and Raramuri fiddle players from northwest Mexico. This collection demonstrates that careful historical and ethnographic analysis of global music can show us how globalization operates and what, if anything, we as consumers have to do with it.

In times of rapid international political and economic change the great universities of Europe and North America are being transformed. Public expectations about access to higher education, government concerns about the role that universities can play in innovation and economic development, and the application of the principals of market economics to the university systems of all countries have created a new context for higher education. Universities whose governance and organization have been among the most stable and predictable in modern society are experiencing unprecedented pressure for change. Social demands in Europe are leading for the first time in history to a corporate form of university, similar in structure to American institutions. American universities are confronted with new levels of national and international competition as well as new government policies. The papers of this volume are the outcome of the remarkable process of discussions which took place during the 1995 international symposium on the future role of the university held in Vienna, Austria. The papers have been thoughtfully revised to reflect the insights and contributions of the participants at the symposium and the editors have provided a synthesizing introduction and conclusion. The respective chapters are rich in scholarly insight regarding the complex intersection between public policy and university organization.

Eine Begegnung zweier Menschen ist immer auch die Begegnung zweier Fremder - zwischen Irritation, Neugier und Abwehr. Doch was ist fremd und was löst in uns Befremden aus Anhand der Arbeit mit Geflüchteten geht das Buch den vielen Aspekten der Fremdheit nach und entwirft Strategien im Umgang mit ihr. In der Begegnung und Arbeit mit geflüchteten Menschen gerät das Thema Fremdheit (auch ungewollt) schnell in den Blick. Es prallen Lebensentwürfe in großer Vielfalt aufeinander, verschieden geprägtes Rollenhandeln oder divergierende Partnerschaftskonzepte geraten miteinander in Konflikt. Doch Martin Merbach macht deutlich: Die Fremdheit liegt nicht nur im Gegenüber - sie steckt schon in uns selbst. Er fragt: Was genau ist uns eigentlich fremd Was wehren wir ab, was lassen wir zu, was löst in uns Befremden aus Zum Verständnis dieser Prozesse bedarf es einer tieferen Einsicht in das Fremde an sich - als Aspekt des Unbewussten, als Baustein in unserer eigenen Entwicklung. Indem das Buch diese Grundlagen im Hinblick auf die Arbeit mit Geflüchteten beleuchtet, reflektiert es das Befremden in der Arbeitsbeziehung und entwirft Strategien, wie Fachkräfte und Ehrenamtliche damit umgehen können.

Landscapes are forged by many forces and are dynamic, not static. Yet most landscape designs are designed as static; that is, they are designed not to change substantially for 20-50 years. As cities become the dominant living space for humans, allowing non-human forces to contribute to our designs as landscape architects will make for more resilient landscapes and a healthier planet. Making these dynamic landscapes with our non-human partners will require a new landscape aesthetic, changing the public perception of "landscape," and changing maintenance practices. Dynamic Geographies seeks to address these perceptions with a series of our projects as examples. The book is divided into three segments of overlapping geographies: Invisible geographies, Layered geographies, and Unleashing geographies.

Wo Worte fehlen: Die psychotherapeutische Methode der Kunsttherapie hat fÃ"r Menschen in Migration ein großes Potenzial. Worin das besteht, zeigt der Band von Christan Widdascheck.Aus einer (leib-)phänomenologischen Perspektive auf Migration und auf die konkrete kunsttherapeutische Praxis bezogen entwickelt der Autor ein Verständnis fÃ"r das besondere therapeutische Potenzial von Kunsttherapie fÃ"r Menschen in Migration. Anhand von Beispielen eröffnet er Grundlinien und gibt konkrete Hinweise fÃ"r die kunsttherapeutische Praxis. Verortet in der begleiteten kÃ"nstlerischen Arbeit und aufbauend auf einem Verständnis von Migration, das weder bagatellisierend noch viktimisierend ist, zeigt sich die spezifische Wirkungsweise der Methode, die immer auch politisch ist. Professionelle Praxis braucht in diesem Kontext immer auch ein theoretisch-konzeptionelles Verständnis von Migration.
