How did the diasporic existence affect Heinrich Heine in terms of both his work and his self-image as a writer? In a paradigmatic manner his work reflects the shift from a religious to a secular understanding of the Jewish diaspora which is typical of the 19th century. The introduction of this new perspective into German literature can also be viewed as a result of the Jewish self-awareness of political authors in Heine s time.

Die heutigen Kliniken und Heime in Haina (Kloster) stehen in einer besonders langen sozialpolitischen Tradition. Bereits das Zisterzienserkloster Haina besaß eine Almosenspende. In den Klostergebäuden wurde 1533 das Hohe Hospital Haina zur Versorgung Hilfsbedürftiger aus den hessischen Dörfern untergebracht. Ab dem 19. Jahrhundert diente das hessische Landeshospital als psychiatrische Pflegeanstalt. Diese war in die NS-Verbrechen an psychisch kranken Menschen einbezogen; Patienten wurden in die "Euthanasie"-Anstalt Hadamar überführt. Seit den 1950er Jahren entwickelte sich Haina zum modernen Psychiatrischen Krankenhaus. Das Psychiatriemuseum inmitten der alten Klosteranlage stellt fast fünf Jahrhunderte Psychiatriegeschichte vor. Die Exponate stammen aus dem gut erhaltenen Hospitalarchiv und einer einmaligen Sammlung an historischen Therapievorrichtungen. So können sich Besucherinnen und Besucher in dem weitgehend original erhaltenen Gebäudekomplex einem Kapitel der Sozialge...

This is an introduction to Euripides' "Cyclops", the only example of satyric drama to have survived complete into the modern world. The work gives an historical and analytical account of the genre, tracing its origins, development and decine. It examines the place of satyrs in the religious imagination and practice of the Greeks, and the significance of Euripides' divergence from the Homeric model. The commentary pays close attention to problems of text, language and interpretation. Product details Format Paperback | 244 pages Dimensions 127 x 203 ...

Meine Räume denken nicht darüber nach, ob sie Kunst sind, sagt Katrin Brack. Und doch: Warum drängt sich beim Betrachten ihrer Bühnenräume stets diese Frage auf? Die Beschreibung dessen, was diese Ausnahme-Bühnenbildnerin seit Jahren im Theater behauptet, sucht meist die Referenz zur Bildenden Kunst. Da sind sachte sich über die Bühne bewegende Nebelwände, Theaterstücke im Dauerregen, im Konfettiregen, im Schneetreiben. Dann ein einzelner Baum, ein Himmel voller Schaukeln, voller Glühbirnen, voller glitzernder Girlanden. Man betrachtet ihre Räume wie bewegte Skulpturen, Installationen, Ding gewordene Ideen, in eine radikale Zeichenhaftigkeit überführt, zu Metaphern geworden. Rigoros thematisieren ihre Arbeiten die Leere der Bühne durch die stets spürbare Anwesenheit der abwesenden Dinge Reduktion. Wir sehen Raumzeit, wie sie in unsichtbaren und flüchtigen Linien ein Volumen bespielt: ein Theater der Zeit. Product details ...

Disasters are the result of complex interactions between social and natural forces, acting at multiple scales from the individual and community to the organisational, national and international level. Effective disaster planning, response and recovery require an understanding of these interacting forces, and the role of power, knowledge and organizations. This book sheds new light on these dynamics, and gives disaster scholars and practitioners new and valuable lessons for management and planning in practice. The authors draw on methods across the social sciences to examine disaster response and recovery as viewed by those in positions of authority and the 'recipients' of operations. These first two sections examine cases from Hurricane Katrina, while the third part compares this to other international disasters to draw out general lessons and practical applications for disaster planning in any context. The authors also offer guidance for shaping institutional structures to be...

Widely regarded as one of the greatest choral works of the twentieth century, Britten's War Requiem was first performed at the consecration of the new Coventry Cathedral in 1962. It provocatively juxtaposes the vivid anti-war poetry of Wilfred Owen with the Latin Requiem Mass in a passionate outcry against man's inhumanity to man. This handbook explores the background to Britten's use of the Owen texts, charting the development of the composer's lifelong pacifist beliefs and (in a chapter contributed by Philip Reed of the Britten-Pears Library, Aldeburgh) detailing the process of composition from hitherto unpublished correspondence and manuscript sources. The musical structure is investigated, and the work's compositional idiom related to Britten's output as a whole. A concluding chapter surveys the fluctuating critical responses to the score, and includes discussion of the composer's legendary 1963 recording and Derek Jarman's controversial inter...

Too many sociology textbooks begin and end with how society is structured. To understand how society operates it is necessary to explore not only its constituent structures and relationships, but how these structures emerge and why changes occur within them. By bringing together a group of distinguished sociologists and social historians, this book critically appraises the usefulness of current theories in advancing our understanding of contemporary society. It explores British society as dynamic and developing. In the process the authors draw our attention to the fact that society is shaped not just by social policy and structures, but by how far these influence people's life-patterns, attitudes, experience and conduct.

Semantic interpretation and the resolution of ambiguity presents an important advance in computer understanding of natural language. While parsing techniques have been greatly improved in recent years, the approach to semantics has generally improved in recent years, the approach to semantics has generally been ad hoc and had little theoretical basis. Graeme Hirst offers a new, theoretically motivated foundation for conceptual analysis by computer, and shows how this framework facilitates the resolution of lexical and syntactic ambiguities. His approach is interdisciplinary, drawing on research in computational linguistics, artificial intelligence, montague semantics, and cognitive psychology.

Ever wonder why so many people pay so much attention to Mary, the Mother of Jesus? From the most ancient traditions of Mary in Christianity to the "Hail Mary" pass in American football, the Mother of Jesus has pervaded most world cultures for the last two thousand years. But could the Mother of Jesus also be your mother? That's the question explored in the exciting new book, Meet Your Mother. This easy-read pocket book on Mary covers all the major teachings about the Mother of Jesus, but is particularly written for the person who has little or no background knowledge about her. Authored by Dr. Mark Miravalle, renowned Marian expert and professor who has taught and written about Mary for over 25 years, this is perfect to introduce someone to the life and truth about Jesus' Mother, but also to renew a person's existing knowledge and love for the woman who Jesus gave personally to every human being with his dying words, "This is your mother." ...

The Culture of Mean is the first book-length feminist critical exploration of representations of youth bullying in media. Bringing into conversation scholarship on feminism, media, new communication technologies, surveillance, gender, race, sexuality, and class, Emily D. Ryalls critically examines the explosion of discourse about youth bullying that has occurred in the United States during the last two decades. Countering the monolithic and extreme cultural reaction to narratives about bullying, Ryalls argues that, while it seems common sense to view bullying as always wrong and dangerous, not all aggression is bullying and it is problematic to assume so, because it becomes very difficult to differentiate between healthy conflict and unhealthy (potentially violent) torment. Moreover, since the label "bullying" often does not differentiate between teasing, conflict, sexual harassment, and violence, increasingly the most common way to deal with young people accused of bullying ...
