Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - «This unique volume takes the reader on an extraordinary journey through flights of the political and social imagination across Iberia and Latin America from the conquest of the Americas, via insurgent and reactionary modern movements, to the Cold War and on to contemporary dreams and dystopias. The Western notion of utopia was born of Iberian imperialism in the Americas: Hispanic Utopias traces its complex, contradictory destinies from the origins of the Hispanic empire through waves of revolution and resistance among the diverse peoples and beliefs of those vast territories. This is an engaging read, offering a fascinating array of translated texts; concise, clear introductions to orientate the reader; and many provocations to thought.»(Andrew Ginger, Professor of Comparative Studies, Vice Provost for International Engagement, Northeastern University. Oficial de la Orden de Isabel la Católica)«This judiciously edited and much-needed volume succeeds in its ambitious aim of reconstructing the utopian tradition of Spanish-speaking peoples over the past five centuries. Students and scholars alike will find much in its pages to delight and to provoke vigorous and thoughtful political and historical debate. Warmly recommended.»(Laurence Davis, Senior Lecturer in Government and Politics, University College Cork and co-editor of Anarchism and Utopianism and The New Utopian Politics of Ursula K. Le Guin's The Dispossessed)This historical reader offers a survey and an anthology of utopian speculation written in Spanish and other Hispanic languages since the 16th century. It not only provides further proof that this genre has been a key intellectual tool for imagining and debating the modern world, but also dismantles the cliché that Hispanic societies have been refractory to utopia by illustrating both the fertility of utopian writing in Hispanic languages and the links of that writing with local archetypes such as Don Quixote. The present volume expands the utopian canon and the very concept of utopian literature in two directions: incorporating the rich and as yet little studied work of authors writing in Spanish, Catalan and Galician, it simultaneously draws attention to the speculative and anticipatory content of a variety of non-fictional texts which have tended to be overlooked by existing scholarship.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Der Ausgestaltung der gerichtlichen Rechtsschutzmöglichkeiten bei stiftungsrechtlichen Streitigkeiten kommt insbesondere aufgrund der Struktureigenheiten der Stiftung bürgerlichen Rechts besondere Bedeutung zu: Da sich die Stiftung mit ihrer Anerkennung von der Person des Stifters emanzipiert und nur noch sich selbst gehört, ist sie als verselbständigte Vermögensmasse ohne Mitglieder, Gesellschafter oder wirtschaftlich interessierte Eigentümer hinsichtlich der Überlagerung der Stiftungstätigkeit durch stiftungsfremde Sonderinteressen gefährdet. Die Arbeit widmet sich den Konsequenzen und untersucht, wie sich die strukturellen Besonderheiten der Stiftung bürgerlichen Rechts als Rechtsform prozessual abbilden lassen, in welchen Bereichen Lücken bestehen und wie diese im Sinne der Stiftung und der Durchsetzung des Stifterwillens geschlossen werden können. Zudem werden Möglichkeiten und Grenzen der Errichtung einer Stiftungsschiedsgerichtsbarkeit dargestellt.BoD - Books on Demand, In de Tarpen 42, 22848 Norderstedt 396 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Sacred words often provide succor, summoned to comfort individual victims and entire communities ravaged by acts of violence. History also demonstrates, however, that religious discourse, like rhetoric itself, functions as a pharmakon-both a remedy and a poison. Religious discourse evoked to incite or justify violence functions as a kind of rancor or intense partisan anger that distorts reality, exacerbates harm, and eschews the accountability of its perpetrators. Moreover, a third function of religious rhetoric synthesizes sacred succor and rancor to express the productive tension of righteous indignation employed by speakers to decry violence and demand social justice.This compendium of both historic and contemporary speeches on the intersecting themes of religion, rhetoric, and violence endeavors to complicate the rhetoric/violence binary by interpolating religion (another foundational and cultural belief inextricably entangled with both rhetoric and violence) into the dialectic. 240 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Les notions de 'fanatisme' et 'd'impérialisme' permettent-elles sérieusement d'expliquer le terrorisme et les guerres contre celui-ci Et si notre compréhension de ces phénomènes devait être repensée à l'aune de ce que René Girard appelle le mimétisme, à savoir l'idée selon laquelle les uns et les autres s'imitent pour produire, ensemble, l'escalade de la violence S'appuyant sur une enquête socio-historique à base d'archives et d'entretiens, l'auteur analyse comment djihadistes, responsables politiques, journalistes et pseudo experts en 'radicalisation' ont pendant trente ans sapé la réflexion stratégique pour produire un monde où les attentats ont répondu aux bombardements et les bombardements aux attentats. 262 pp. Französisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -As recent studies on the «London Irish» and on the work of almost forgotten artists have revealed, there existed in the 1930s a vibrant appreciation and response to international politics and artistic innovations. Many Irish writers such as Kate O'Brien, Elizabeth Bowen, Sean O'Faolain, Liam O'Flaherty, to name but a few, felt at ease in this climate. Reconsidering Irish culture in the 1930s in light of recent critical work will further enhance an understanding of a decade of cultural production which, until the turn of the 21st century, was subjected to comparatively narrow interpretations. At a time when a fledgling democracy was being created in Ireland, the influence of these and other connections in the realm of culture cannot be underestimated. It is the major purpose of this book to rely on all these premises and rebuild the milieu of the 1930s by observing the dialogues between the homewhere-s and elsewhere-s where Ireland's cultural legacy and cultural products have been shaped. 280 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Six decades on from Vatican II, the Catholic Church continues to struggle with a crisis precipitated by clerical child sexual abuse. The faith of believers has been shaken and a chasm has opened between popular conceptions of the church and the theological ones prized by Scripture and Tradition.Seeking to bridge the chasm, this work approaches the church as «sacrament of the world». It underscores the need for continuing ecclesial reform while also insisting on the importance of mutual engagement between church and world, even when the relationship between them is strained and the questions arising are divisive. Among the most complex of those are ones associated with Paul VI's Humanae Vitae, an encyclical that was even dismissed by many committed Catholics. Yet, as history frequently does, questions that once appeared to be closed can reopen in surprising ways, thereby forcing us to grapple afresh with the mysterious workings of divine providence in ways that are quite challenging. 352 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book explores the profound connection between traditional Chinese calligraphy and its philosophical roots. In a world where innovation often overshadows tradition, this book serves as a crucial reminder of the value and significance of ancient practices that have shaped the art form for centuries. The author embarks on an investigative journey to rediscover the ancient techniques employed by the revered calligrapher Wang Xizhi, which have been lost for nearly 700 years. Through rigorous experimentation, she reveals that true calligraphy must adhere to these traditional methods; otherwise, it becomes mere painting. She emphasized that any departure from Wang Xizhi's methods undermines the essence of calligraphy itself.By reframing the discourse around calligraphy, the author invites readers to appreciate the depth of the traditional approach. 308 pp. Englisch.
