Spektrum Academic Publishers Malta und Gozo: Auf Tour
Book SynopsisDer kleine Inselstaat Malta ist ein vor allem bei Sprachschülern beliebtes Urlaubsziel. Wo sonst kann man schon Englisch unter „native speakers“ lernen und sich nach Unterrichtsschluss sonnen oder im Mittelmeer baden? Doch Malta ist mehr als die Urlaubsnation für Sonnenhungrige.Die Maltesischen Inseln blicken auf mehr als 7000 Jahre Besiedlungsgeschichte zurück, und die steinzeitlichen Tempel des Archipels zählen zu den ältesten freistehenden Bauwerken der Menschheitsgeschichte.Zur Zeit des Johanniterordens war Malta als Bollwerk gegen türkische Eroberer der Schutzschild Europas, und als britische Kronkolonie war seine Rolle im Zweiten Weltkrieg von entscheidender Bedeutung. Als sich der Staat nach seiner Unabhängigkeit politisch dem „Ostblock“ zuwandte, war ganz Europa um die Stabilität im Mittelmeerraum besorgt.Der Kleinstaat, der immer wieder die Gemüter eines ganzen Kontinents erregte, ist seit 2004 Mitglied der Europäischen Union und hat die Finanzkrise seit 2008 bislang mit Bravour bestanden. Die Geographen Rainer Aschemeier und Bernd Cyffka beleuchten schlaglichtartig viele interessante Aspekte dieses Inselstaats, von der Geologie bis zum EU-Beitritt, von der Steinzeit bis ins 21. Jahrhundert.Der Leser bekommt dabei oft andere Aspekte des Landes geschildert, als diejenigen, die üblicherweise zu lesen sind. Dargelegt an ausgewählten Beispielen und einmaligen Fotos wird ein Land beschrieben, welches räumlich so nahe liegt, aber doch deutlich anders ist, als allgemein angenommen. Vielleicht weckt die Lektüre die Lust, nach Malta zu reisen – zum ersten oder sogar zum wiederholten Mal.Table of ContentsDie Geschichte der maltesischen Inseln.- Landschaft und Umwelt.- Kostbares Gut: Wasser auf den maltesischen Inseln.- Seit jeher Bauern – Entwicklung und Bedeutung der Landwirtschaft für Malta.- Politik – In Malta eine Frage der Ehre!.- Probleme eines Inselstaats: Berge aus Müll, Strom aus Öl und Flüchtlinge in Massen.- Kuriositätenkabinett – Geschichten, wie es sie so nur auf Malta und Gozo gibt.- Die vielen „Zungen“ der Johanniter – eine Kurzeinführung in die Geschichte des Ordens, der Malta fast 300 Jahre lang regierte.- Orient trifft Okzident trifft British Empire ....- Kulturnation Malta.- Als Johannes Paul zu Paulus pilgerte – Malta als unerschütterliches Bollwerk des Katholizismus.

Columbia University Press The Right to Justification
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewRainer Forst is the premier political philosopher of his generation in Germany and one of the most innovative and promising in the world today. An extraordinarily impressive feature of his philosophical work is his ability to move expertly and deftly between foundational arguments of an abstract nature and practical considerations having to do with the way that political life actually works. The Right to Justification will have a significant impact on American philosophy. -- Charles Larmore, Brown University, author of The Practices of the Self Rainer Forst's master idea is that people have a right and duty of reciprocal justification in the domain of shared institutions and that testing for the justice of such arrangements means testing for how far they are indeed justifiable. These essays demonstrate the personal signature Forst gives to that idea and the effective manner in which he applies it in different contexts. -- Philip Pettit, Princeton University, author of A Theory of Freedom: From the Psychology to the Politics of Agency Rainer Forst is at the forefront of the exciting encounter between critical social theory and Anglo-American normative philosophy. His work is a worthy successor to the Rawls-Habermas dialogue, which ended all too quickly. This work documents his systematic attempt to build a theory of human rights and democratic justice, beginning with the principle of the right to justification. He writes with grace and wit; this book will be widely read. -- Seyla Benhabib, Yale University Rainer Forst advocates a critical theory of justice grounded on the 'basic right to justification.' In these luminous essays, he elaborates this simple yet powerful idea in relation to a broad range of issues, including the notions of practical reason and human autonomy; political liberty and multicultural toleration; deliberative democracy and the welfare state; and human rights and global justice. The result is a philosophical tour de force and a major new program for refounding critical theory. -- Nancy Fraser, New School, author of Scales of Justice: Reimagining Political Space in a Globalizing World Forst's Right to Justification is a tour de force that exhibits both a compelling, unified vision and a wide range of concrete insights. It ought to be read by all those with an interest in moral or political philosophy or in global justice. -- Henry S. Richardson Ethics and International Affairs In his ambitious masterpiece, Toleration in Conflict, Rainer Forst laid the groundwork for an innovative concept, the right to justification. Here he has developed this prolific idea in a systematic manner, establishing a compelling and original political theory. Forst, a brilliant scholar, deserves his reputation as one of the leading political philosophers of his generation. -- Juergen Habermas A brilliant work that cements Forst's place in the top rank of moral and political philosophers. -- William J. Talbott Ethics With penetrating insight and enviable clarity, Forst describes and critiques prominent approaches to designing theories of justice - both national and transnational - and, in turn, constructs a unique and persuasive theory of his own. -- Shaun P. Young Political Studies Review [The Right to Justification] offer[s] sophisticated contributions to our understanding of the theory and practice of democratic politics. -- Mark E. Button Perspectives on Politics Moving well beyond the earlier generation of discursive theories, [Forst] opens up new modalities of politics and provide[s] us with new ways of thinking about them. -- Kevin Olson Constellations Impressive in its scope and ambition.

North Point Press Letters on Cezanne
Book SynopsisRilke''s prayerful responses to the french master''s beseeching artFor a long time nothing, and then suddenly one has the right eyes.Virtually every day in the fall of 1907, Rainer Maria Rilke returned to a Paris gallery to view a Cezanne exhibition. Nearly as frequently, he wrote dense and joyful letters to his wife, Clara Westhoff, expressing his dismay before the paintings and his ensuing revelations about art and life.Rilke was knowledgeable about art and had even published monographs, including a famous study of Rodin that inspired his New Poems. But Cezanne''s impact on him could not be conveyed in a traditional essay. Rilke''s sense of kinship with Cezanne provides a powerful and prescient undercurrent in these letters -- passages from them appear verbatim in Rilke''s great modernist novel, The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge.

Boydell & Brewer Ltd Rainer Maria Rilke's The Book of Hours: A New
Book SynopsisA superb new (and complete) translation of Rilke's luminously lyrical early book of poems, with scholarly introduction and commentary. Rainer Maria Rilke is arguably the most important modern German-language poet. His New Poems, Duino Elegies, and Sonnets to Orpheus are pillars of 20th-century poetry. Yet his earlier verse is less known. The Bookof Hours, written in three bursts between 1899 and 1903, is Rilke's most formative work, covering a crucial period in his rapid ascent from fin-de-siècle epigone to distinctive modern voice. The poems document Rilke'stour of Russia with Lou Andreas-Salomé, his hasty marriage and fathering of a child in Worpswede, and his turn toward the urban modernity of Paris. He assumes the persona of an artist-monk undertaking the Romantics' journey into the self, speaking to God as part transcendent deity, part needy neighbor. The poems can be read simply for their luminous lyricism, captured in Susan Ranson's superb new translation, which reproduces the music of the original German with impressive fluidity. An in-depth introduction explains the context of the work and elucidates its major themes, while the poem-by-poem commentary is helpful to the student and the general reader. A translator's note treating the technical problems of rhythm, meter, and rhyme that the translator of Rilke faces completes the volume. Susan Ranson is the co-translator, with Marielle Sutherland, of Rainer Maria Rilke, Selected Poems (Oxford World's Classics, 2011). Ben Hutchinson is Reader in Modern German at the University of Kent, UK.Trade ReviewWhether we see this collection of poems as an example of personal devotional musing or read it as the 'seed of Rilke's subsequent development,' it is well worth our attention. This is a lively and insightful work of criticism, scholarship, and creative translation. * MODERN LANGUAGE REVIEW *One of the pillars of 20th-century poetry, Rilke (1875-1926) was born in Prague, spent his life in Paris, Russia, and Germany, and died and was buried in Switzerland. He merits repeated studies, interpretations, and translations, and this one of his three-volume Stundenbuch (1899, 1901, 1903) is among the finest.... In his thorough introduction, Hutchinson ... casts these poems in a new light, adding depth to them as presented in previous editions. * CHOICE *[The translator] anticipates the critical reader.and responds creatively to the huge challenge.There are fascinating reflections of the poet-translator on technical matters.as well as rhyme and rhythm.... Ben Hutchinson's introduction and detailed notes provide an academic insight and context. * BROWN BOOK *The whole collection is newly translated here in fine, faithful versions by Susan Ranson, who captures the sonorities of the verse with apparent ease and handles the difficulties of Rilke's over-fondness for rhyme very judiciously. * TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT *Ranson ... recognizes the ambiguity which pervades the original, and has tried to find a balance between faithfully reproducing ambituigies and 'recognizing some duty of clarity to the reader. * TRANSLATION AND LITERATURE *Table of ContentsPreface and Acknowledgments Introduction by Ben Hutchinson Translator's Note by Susan Ranson Das Stunden-Buch / The Book of Hours Erstes Buch: Das Buch vom mönchischen Leben First Book: The Book of Monkish Life Zweites Buch: Das Buch von der Pilgerschaft Second Book: The Book of Pilgrimage Drittes Buch: Das Buch von der Armut und vom Tode Third Book: The Book of Poverty and Death Commentary and Notes: First Book, Second Book, Third Book Index of English First Lines Index of German First Lines

Taschen GmbH Chagall
Book SynopsisFor Marc Chagall (1887–1985), painting was an intricate tapestry of dreams, tales, and traditions. His instantly recognizable visual language carved out a unique early 20th-century niche, often identified as one of the earliest expressions of psychic experience. Chagall’s canvases are characterized by loose brushwork, deep colors, a particular fondness for blue, and a repertoire of recurring tropes including musicians, roosters, rooftops, flowers, and floating lovers. For all their ethereal charms, his compositions were often rich and complex in their references. They wove together not only colors and forms, but also his Jewish roots with his present encounters in Paris, markers of faith with gestures of love and symbols of hope with testimonies of trauma. Across scenes of birth, love, marriage, and death, this dependable artist introduction explores the many versions of Chagall’s rich vocabulary. From visions of his native Vitebsk in modern-day Belarus to images of the Eiffel Tower, we explore the unique aesthetic of one of the most readily identifiable modern masters and one of the most influential Jewish artists of all time.

De Gruyter Meaning, Frames, and Conceptual Representation
Book Synopsis The articles in this volume present contemporary and original research on linguistic meaning, concept formation and conceptual analysis. A central theme across the articles is the question of how concepts are structured, how they are represented in the mind, and how they are expressed in language. Two introductory papers on concept types and frames set out the crucial role of attributes and frames for the representation of concepts. The topics of the contributions range from the interrelation between determination and reference of nominal expressions, the verbal and adjectival expression of attributes, and the analysis of metonymy to the frame-based representation of action-related concepts and the classification of mental disorders in psychiatry. The collection of articles provided by this volume will be of interest to researchers and advanced students in the fields of semantics, pragmatics, philosophy of mind, and the cognitive sciences.

Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden Landschaft als Prozess
Book Synopsis,Landschaft‘ gehört in Deutschland zu einem vielgenutzten und in unterschiedlichen Kontexten eingesetzten Begriff – sowohl alltagsweltlich als auch wissenschaftlich. Die Veränderlichkeit von Landschaft wird häufig als Wandel verstanden. Im Verhältnis dazu wird deren Prozesshaftigkeit in diesem Sammelband als ein Spezialfall von Wandel gedeutet. Dieser Spezialfall ist in von Menschen geprägten Landschaften zielgerichteter und aktiver als der passive und auch ungerichtete Wandel. Der Begriff des Prozesses fokussiert zudem stärker die Kontextabhängigkeit von Veränderungen. Die Vielfalt der über 30 versammelten Beiträge zeigt, dass der Wandelbarkeit und konkret der Prozesshaftigkeit von Landschaft je nach Perspektive und Zielsetzung auf unterschiedliche Art und Weise nachgegangen werden kann. Es ist nicht die eine Grundkonzeption, die Erkenntnisgewinn verspricht, sondern mitunter je nach Zielsetzung eine spezifische Wahl oder eine neopragmatische Triangulation. In unterschiedlicher Ausprägung werden sowohl ,Landschaft’ als auch ,Prozess‘ einer Einordnung und Systematisierung zugeführt – durchaus auch je nach disziplinärem Hintergrund, womit sich eine Perspektivenvielfalt ergibt – als Grundlage für weitergehende Auseinandersetzungen mit dem Themenfeld ,Landschaft als Prozess‘.Table of ContentsEinführung.- Theoretisch-konzeptionelle und praktische Überlegungen zur Prozesshaftigkeit von Landschaft.- Darstellung von Landschaft und Landschaftsprozessen.- Landschaft im Wandel – Bedeutungszuschreibungen im Wandel.- Stadtlandhybride Landschaftsprozesse.- Konflikthaftigkeiten um Landschaftsprozesshaftigkeiten.
