Vivid color, organic forms, and a loathing of straight lines were just a few stalwart characteristics in the unique practice of Friedensreich Hundertwasser (1928–2000). A non-conformist hero, the artist, architect, and activist left a blazing trail of imagination and ideas in buildings, paintings, manifestos, initiatives, and more. Hundertwasser’s best-known work is considered by many to be the Hundertwasserhaus in Vienna, a structural synthesis of the vitality and uniqueness that determined the artist’s entire oeuvre. For Hundertwasser, rational, sterile, monotonous buildings caused human misery. He called for a boycott of the modernist paradigm championed by the likes of Adolf Loos, and campaigned instead for an architecture of creative freedom and ecological commitment. A fierce opponent of straight lines, which he called “godless and immoral,” Hundertwasser was fascinated by the spiral, drawing also on the Secessionist forms of Klimt and Schiele. This richly illustrated book traces Hundertwasser’s style and vision not only for each building, but for society at large. From naked addresses at the end of the 1960s to worldwide architecture projects and alternative blueprints for society, author Pierre Restany explores Hundertwasser’s most high-profile and innovative ideas in a thrilling introduction to a pioneering 20th-century mind.

Michon’s exquisite short narratives transport us to the heart of the Middle Ages as witnesses to the double-edged power of belief This welcome volume brings to English-language readers two beautifully crafted works by the internationally acclaimed French author Pierre Michon. Populated by distant and little-known figures—Irish and French monks, saints, and scientists in Winter Mythologies; Benedictine monks in the Vendée region of France in Abbots—the tales frequently draw on obscure histories and other literary sources. Michon brings his characters to life in spare, evocative prose. Each, in his or her own way, exemplifies a power of belief that brings about an achievement—or catastrophe—in the real world: monasteries are built upon impossibly muddy wastes, monks acquire the power of speech, lives are taken, books are written, saints are created on the flimsiest of evidence. Michon’s exploration in ancient archives has led him to the discovery of such often deluded figures and their deeds, and his own exceptional powers bestow upon them a renewed life on the written page. This in turn is an example of the power of belief, which for Michon is what makes literature itself possible. Winter Mythologies and Abbots are meant to be read slowly, to be savored, to be mined for the secrets Michon has to tell.

This fascicle contains the complete bibliography up to 1999 of E.F. Konrad Koerner, the founder and director of the journal Historiographia Linguistica (1974-), and editor of Diachronica and of various specialized linguistic series. Koerner's scholarly work, which is surveyed in the introductory "Biographical notice" (by P. Swiggers) focuses on the history of linguistics in the past two centuries, especially on the relationship between historical-comparative grammar and various forms of "general linguistics". The "Biographical Notice" is divided into seven sections: Books and Volumes edited; Articles, Chapters in Volumes and Minor Papers; Review Articles and Reviews; Miscellanea: Papers read; Journals edited; General Editorship. In the first paper that follows the bibliography, Koerner presents a critical overview of linguistic historiography and outlines some prospects. The second paper explores the delicate question of the role of ideological convictions in linguistics, and in human sciences in general.

Qué es lo que justifica la extraña idea de que el Estado es soberano? Las consecuencias de la soberanía del Estado son inaceptables incluso para la opción light de la socialdemocracia, que conduce en la práctica a un nuevo corporativismo.Al presentar el neoliberalismo como la filosofía de la soberanía individual, este libro sostiene que si alguien es soberano, éste debe ser el individuo. La soberanía individual descansa sobre varios fundamentos: es eficaz (teoría del orden espontáneo) y se identifica con los derechos del hombre, sin los cuales no podemos pensar ni en el orden espontáneo ni en el "contrato social liberal".El autor profundiza en las implicaciones de las tesis neoliberales en el campo de las funciones y de la financiación del Estado. A través de las tres grandes doctrinas neoliberales (el orden espontáneo, el contrato social y el derecho natural), intenta trazar las fronteras del Estado mínimo, y los grandes debates actuales sobre la seguridad social o la fiscalidad

La moneda viva es un texto que resume, quizás como ningún otro, un pensamiento que muchos autores (especialmente Bataille, pero también el propio Foucault, que lo celebra en una carta al autor como el libro más importante de la época) intuyeron y no se atrevieron a formular, pues ponía en solfa la mayoría de las certezas sobre el deseo y el cuerpo que habían alimentado la literatura y la vida durante siglos. Sade fue el primero en advertir la impostura, pero a Sade había que comprenderlo, había que interpretarlo, había que leerlo concienzudamente y no banalizar su pensamiento, reduciéndolo a una patología de los instintos como ha venido haciéndose desde su descubrimiento. Y eso es lo que hizo Klossowski en este lúcido y penetrante ensayo, como también, en otro sentido, hiciera antes en Sade, mi prójimo.Bataille, Lacan, Baudrillard, Foucault, Deleuze, Lyotard, Agamben, todos ellos y muchos otros reconocieron en La moneda viva la explicitación de lo que constituye

Anhand des Psalms 113 analysiert Pierre Coulange die zwei Seiten der GröÃe Gottes, der in seinem Glanz und seiner Herrlichkeit im Himmel thront und sich gleichzeitig auf die Stufe der Menschen stellt und sich der Ãrmsten annimmt. Die entgegengesetzten Attribute verdichten sich zu einem göttlichen Merkmal: Gerade, weil Gott so groà und herrlich ist, kann er sich auf den tiefsten Grund und an die äuÃersten Ränder der menschlichen Gesellschaft begeben. Der Autor betrachtet das Thema des Hinabsehens und des Aufrichtens in weiteren biblischen Passagen und endet mit einer Analyse der Beziehung zwischen Gott und den Armen aus der Perspektive der Relation zwischen Schöpfer und Geschöpf.

Verdeckte Ermittler, Lauschangriff, Online-Durchsuchung: Die heimliche Strafverfolgung greift um sich. Dennoch steht die Rechtsfrage des Privatheitsschutzes beim Ermittlungszugriff auf die begehrten Informationen inmitten eines unklaren interdisziplinären Bezugsfelds: Ist zum Beispiel nur ein Kernbereich privater Lebensgestaltung absolut über das Verfassungsrecht zu schützen und lassen sich wirklich alle sonstigen Bereiche der Privatsphäre der strafprozessualen Relativierung durch Zugriffsrechte preisgeben? Was gilt gegenüber Nichtverdächtigen und was beim Einsatz neuer Medien? Dabei beschreitet Pierre Hauck einen neuen interdisziplinären Pfad: Er gleicht Erkenntnissen der Informationsethik und der Sozialphilosophie ab und entwickelt ein System abgestufter Schutzwürdigkeit privater Informationen. Dieses System dient als Grundlage einer Rekonstruktion der Ermittlungsbefugnisse, hauptsächlich mit dem Ziel einer zukunftsweisenden Neuformulierung der gesetzlichen Ermittlungsbefugnisse in der StPO.
