In our imaginings of Paris, painter and graphic artist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864–1901) has no small role to play. In his prints, posters, paintings, and drawings, the artist immortalized the city’s Belle Époque nightlife and put the northern neighborhood of Montmartre on the global map of creative-hedonist hotspots. The son of old French nobility, Toulouse-Lautrec seems to have been drawn early on to visions of a demimonde, centering his attention on the dance halls, cabarets, and brothels of Montmartre and adopting famed dancers and singers as his subjects, most notably Jane Avril. His works include both lively performance scenes and quiet, tender “after-hours” portraits such as The Sofa and In Bed. Stylistically, he mastered both bold graphics, as celebrated in his promotional posters of Jane Avril, and a loose yet evocative sketchwork. Though he died aged just 36, due to complications from alcoholism and syphilis, Toulouse-Lautrec’s cultural influence was immense. This introductory book takes a walk through his world of singers, dancers, musicians, and prostitutes to reveal an artist of great humanity, striking figurative skill, and a pronounced sense for the energy and stories of a city.

Das Europäische Kollisionsrecht dient der europäischen Idee eines Raums der Freiheit, der Sicherheit und des Rechts ohne Binnengrenzen. Diese Aufgabe kann es nur erfüllen, wenn sich die Akteure des Rechts immer wieder von Neuem seinen Grundfragen stellen. Sie betreffen zunächst die politischen, ökonomischen und gesellschaftlichen Hintergründe, die für das Europäische Kollisionsrecht von herausragender Bedeutung sind. Dazu zählen der rechtspolitische Kontext seiner Entwicklung ebenso wie der gesellschaftliche Wandel des Familienbegriffs oder die Frage nach dem Verhältnis von Kollisionsrecht und religiösem Recht. Zu den Grundfragen des Europäischen Kollisionsrechts gehören aber auch die Gründe und Grenzen zentraler Institute der kollisionsrechtlichen Dogmatik. Welche Ordnungsaufgabe kommt etwa der Parteiautonomie, dem ordre public oder dem Renvoi im Europäischen Kollisionsrecht zu? Die hier zusammengeführten Beiträge einer Tagung in der Bayerischen Akademie der Wissenschaften nähern sich diesen Grundfragen an.
