Zug um Zug : Wernes Katholiken im Machtspiel zwischen Berlin und Rom (9783754306413)

Der Kulturkampf, ein Machtspiel zwischen Staat und katholischer Kirche, betraf und bewegte die Empfindungen der Katholiken in Deutschland, vor allem im Königreich Preußen, in den letzten Jahrzehnten des 19. Jahrhunderts wie kein anderes Ereignis. Die Kleinstadt Werne war besonders betroffen von der Auseinandersetzung zwischen Berlin und Rom, zwischen Bismarck und Pius IX.. Priestern wurde unter harten Strafen verboten, ihre pastoralen Aufgaben zu erfüllen. Das Kapuzinerkloster wurde wie alle Klöster aufgelöst. Der Historiker Karl-Heinz Schwarze ordnet die Ereignisse vor Ort in den europaweiten Zusammenhang ein. Die katholischen Gläubigen, die geschlossen ihrer Kirche die Treue hielten, widerstanden dem staatlichen Druck mit zahlreichen Maßnahmen. Reichskanzler Otto von Bismarck hatte den Konflikt ausgelöst. Dieser fand weltweit so großes Interesse, dass der Begriff in anderen Sprachen zum Fremdwort wurde. Eine weitreichende negative Folge des Kampfes war, dass Bismarck im Bündnis mit d

Understanding Art Objects : Thinking Through the Eye (9781848220164)

What can an art object tell us about its meaning today and at its execution? Can we 'read' artefacts to find out why they were made and for whom? What do they reveal about their context and how has their value changed over the years? Understanding Art Objects presents thirteen essays written by teachers and consultants at Sotheby's Institute addressing these exact questions. Each essay focuses on a single work, ranging from the 1st-century Jenkins Venus to Teresa Margolles' 127 Cuerpos, demonstrating Sotheby's theory of object-based learning in action. The contributors ask their readers to approach an artwork by looking at the work and identifying what is particular to it, and then assessing how it compares with other objects and what its condition tells us about its history. Only then is the discussion widened to consider the object's significance in an art-historical narrative. The texts are all written to appeal not just to the scholar, the professional and t

Before Tomorrow : Epigenesis and Rationality (9780745691503)

Is contemporary continental philosophy making a break with Kant? The structures of knowledge, taken for granted since Kant's Critique of Pure Reason, are now being called into question: the finitude of the subject, the phenomenal given, a priori synthesis. Relinquish the transcendental: such is the imperative of postcritical thinking in the 21st century. Questions that we no longer thought it possible to ask now reemerge with renewed vigor: can Kant really maintain the difference between a priori and innate? Can he deduce, rather than impose, the categories, or justify the necessity of nature? Recent research into brain development aggravates these suspicions, which measure transcendental idealism against the thesis of a biological origin for cognitive processes. In her important new book Catherine Malabou lays out Kant's response to his posterity. True to its subject, the book evolves as an epigenesis the differentiated growth of the embryo for, as those who know how to read c

lawine. (9783702235048)

Ein Muss für alle die Schnee und ihr Leben lieben: der topaktuelle Stand des Lawinenwissens Mit dem großen Erfolg des innovativen Handbuches "lawine." gelang es den beiden international renommierten Tiroler Lawinenwarnern Rudi Mair und Patrick Nairz vor fünf Jahren, das von ihnen entwickelte Konzept der Gefahrenmuster in der Lawinenkunde einzuführen und zu etablieren. Die Erkenntnis, dass eigentlich zwei Handvoll immer wiederkehrende Gefahrenmuster für einen Großteil der Lawinenunfälle verantwortlich sind und dass - bei entsprechender Kenntnis und angemessenem Verhalten - Unfälle dieser Art vermeidbar wären, hat europaweit zu neuen Standards in der Lawinenkunde geführt. Diese komplett überarbeitete und aktualisierte Neuauflage trägt der Entwicklung der letzten fünf Jahre Rechnung und dokumentiert den aktuellen Stand internationalen Lawinenwissens: Nicht zuletzt ausgelöst durch das Konzept der Gefahrenmuster haben sich die europäischen Lawinenwarndienste 2014 auf die länderübe

Marshal Law (9788418293764)

Después de que el Grande arrasara la vieja San Francisco, una nueva metrópolis se alzó de sus cenizas: una ciudad surgida de sueño febril hiperviolento, infectada con el peor caso de superheroísmo. Creados en laboratorios militares para librar las guerras secretas más violentas de Estados Unidos, estos "héroes" modificados genéticamente vagan por las calles de San Futuro formando bandas superpoderosas, poniendo a prueba el gatillo fácil de las demás en una orgía interminable de furia adrenalínica. Sin embargo, uno de esos veteranos descartados se ha embarcado en una misión personal para devolver la ley y el orden a este paisaje de batalla urbana. No siente dolor. No muestra remordimientos. Su odio ardiente hacia los superhéroes es lo único que lo mantiene en marcha. Es el mejor de San Futuro, y se llama Marshal Law.

Los cuentos de Gabriel Garcia Marquez (9783659055379)

Este trabajo quiere mostrar los pilares fundamentales en los que se apoya la narrativa de Gabriel García Márquez mediante el análisis de los cuentos publicados por el autor en sus cuatro volúmenes de relatos. Al indagar en el proceso creativo de la práctica totalidad de estos textos y en sus rasgos genéricos, se comprueba que pueden representar, mejor que ningún otro escrito, el conjunto de la producción del recientemente desaparecido Nobel colombiano. Son pequeños tubos de ensayo donde el autor retoma técnicas, temas, ambientes y personajes ya utilizados y experimenta con otros nuevos, para volcar después los resultados en otros momentos de creación. Se ha hecho de estos textos un minucioso análisis narratológico siguiendo las aportaciones teóricas de, entre otros, Roland Barthes, Claude Bremond, Gerard Genette y Mieke Bal. En consecuencia, se ofrece un estudio detallado de los tres niveles en los que se divide un texto narrativo (narración, historia y relato), que sabrán valorar tant

Falling Angel (9781453271131)

Edgar Award Finalist: The hunt for a vanished singer leads a detective into the depths of the occult in this "terrific" novel (Stephen King). Big-band frontman Johnny Favorite was singing for the troops when a Luftwaffe fighter squadron strafed the bandstand, killing the crowd and leaving the singer near death. The army returned him to a private hospital in upstate New York, leaving him to live out his days as a vegetable while the world forgot him. But Louis Cyphre never forgets. Cyphre had a contract with the singer, stipulating payment upon Johnny's death-payment that will be denied as long as Johnny clings to life. When Cyphre hires private investigator Harry Angel to find Johnny at the hospital, Angel learns that the singer has disappeared. It is no ordinary missing-person's case. Everyone he questions dies soon after, as Angel's investigation ensnares him in a bizarre tangle of black magic, carnival freaks, and grisly voodoo. When the sinister Louis Cyphre

The Many Futures of Work : Rethinking Expectations and Breaking Molds (9781439921432)

What will work eventually look like? This is the question at the heart of this timely collection. The editors and contributors-a mix of policy experts, academics, and advocates-seek to reframe the typical projections of the "future" of work. They examine the impact of structural racism on work, the loss of family-sustaining jobs, the new role of gig work, growing economic inequality, barriers to rewarding employment such as age, gender, disability, and immigration status, and the business policies driving these ongoing challenges. Together the essays present varied and practical insights into both U.S. and global trends, discuss the role of labor activism in furthering economic justice, and examine progressive strategies to improve the experience of work, wages, and the lives of workers. The Many Futures of Work offers a range of viable policies and practices that can promote rewarding employment and steer our course away from low-wage, unstable jobs toward jobs that lead to
