DICTIONNAIRE DE L’OCCITAN MÉDIÉVAL (DOM)In coop. with Claudia Kraus, Renate Peter, Monika Tausend  

The DOM has set itself the task of presenting the vocabulary of Old Occitan in a form that will satisfy modern standards of scholarship, thus superseding the existing dictionaries by Raynouard (1836-1845) and Levy (1894-1924), which though long-serving are anything but comprehensive. The DOM is planned in 6 volumes. The main emphasis is on a detailed semantic analysis of the entries, with reference made not only to literary language (especially the language of the troubadours) but also to non-literary vocabulary. The discussion is rounded off in each case by a summary of the state of etymological research on the entry in question.

Wolf-Dieter Stempel, Ludwig-Maximilians-Uni-versität München.

  FASC. 7: AJOSTADA-ALCANTET[Dictionary of Medieval Occitan (DOM). Fascicle 7]  

The Dictionnaire de l’occitan médiéval is the only dictionary of medieval Occitan (previously known as Old Provencal) which meets present-day academic standards. It not only takes account of literary texts - particularly those of the troubadours - but also the vocabulary of offi cial documents, specialist texts etc. to the extent that these texts have been published. The emphasis is placed on the presentation of the various meanings which can be allocated to the alphabetically arranged headwords. To date, 6 fascicles have been produced (A - AJOST), together with a bibliographical supplement.

ENGLISH HISTORICAL LINGUISTICSAn International Handbook  

The handbook English Historical Linguistics offers in more than 130 articles in two volumes a comprehensive, interdisciplinary and theory neutral overview of all central aspects of the history of English. The fi rst volume contains detailed descriptions of the individual linguistic levels, from phonology to syntax, semantics and pragmatics, for each period of the language, from Old English to Late Modern English. Moreover, the volume offers chapters on particular topics pertaining to individual periods such as the ‘Great Vowel Shift’, standardization, and do-periphrasis. The second volume takes on a broader perspective and addresses more theoretical concerns. It covers topics such as resources for studying and teaching the history of English, historiography, the history of the discipline itself, theoretical approaches to studying language variation and change, includ-ing recent research trends, and the history of Englishes in the twentieth century and around the world.

ESTUDI DE LA LLENGUA D’AUSIÀS MARCH A TRAVÉS DE LES COL•LOCACIONSUna aproximació semiautomàtica  

Since its fi rst publication, in 1593, the beauty of the verses by the Valencian poet Ausiàs March have constituted a challenge for its readers. In this study we carry on an analysis on the Poet‘s language using an innovative methodology in the fi eld of literary studies: analysis of the word combinations -collocations- with the support of ICT.

POLIFUNCIONALIDAD, POLISEMIA Y ESTRATEGIA RETÓRICALos signos discursivos con base atributiva entre oralidad y escritura.  

Polysemy and polyfunctionality are key compo-nents in the motivational structure of discourse markers. In this study the author investigates ad-jectival units that contribute to discourse formation in the spoken Spanish of Chile. The author shows that polyfunctionality drives not only polysemy but also grammaticalization. This grammaticalization is examined by the author in the fi eld of tension between oral and written traditions.

ENGLISH AS AN ACADEMIC LINGUA FRANCAAn Investigation of Form and Communicative Eff ectiveness  

As a result of globalization, higher education institutions throughout the world are adopting English for parts of their education. Higher educa-tion is becoming increasingly international and thus linguistically diverse, for educational, idealistic and fi nancial reasons. This book presents a much-need-ed description of English as a lingua franca (ELF) from an international university setting and focuses on form and pragmatic issues, using authentic spoken data. It provides useful insights into how communicative effectiveness can be achieved in spoken lingua franca communication.

HANDBOOK OF TECHNICAL COMMUNICATIONTogether with Dafydd Gibbon  

The Handbook of Technical Communication brings together a variety of topics which range from the role of technical media in human communication to the linguistic, multimodal enhancement of present-day technologies. It covers the area of computer-mediated text, voice and multimedia communica-tion as well as of technical documentation. In doing so, the handbook takes professional and private communication into account. Special emphasis is put on technical communication by means of web 2.0 technologies and its standardization in system development. In summary, the handbook deals with theoretical issues of technical communication and its practical impact on the development and usage of text and speech technologies.

COGNITIVE PRAGMATICS  

Speakers tend to compose their utterances in such a way that the message they want to get across is hardly ever fully encoded by the meanings of the words and the grammar they use. Instead speakers rely on hearers adding conceptual and emotive con-tent while interpreting the contextually appropriate meanings and intentions behind utterances. This insight, which is of course particularly relevant in all kinds of indirect, fi gurative or humorous talk, lies at the heart of the linguistic discipline of prag-matics. If pragmatics is the study of meaning-in-context, then cognitive pragmatics can be broadly defi ned as encompassing the study of the cognitive principles and processes involved in the construal of meaning-in-context. This volume is the fi rst to systematically survey this terrain from a wide range of perspectives. It collects state-of-the-art contributions by leading experts from the fi elds of pragmatics, psycholinguistics, cognitive linguistics, clinical linguistics and historical linguistics.

SIGN LANGUAGEAn International Handbook  

Sign language linguists show here that all questions relevant to the linguistic investigation of spoken languages can be asked about sign languages. Conversely, questions that sign language linguists consider - even if spoken language researchers have not asked them yet - should also be asked of spoken languages. The HSK handbook Sign Language aims to provide a concise and comprehensive overview of the state of the art in sign language linguistics. It includes 44 chapters, written by leading researchers in the fi eld, that address issues in language typology, sign language grammar, psycholinguistics, neurolinguistics, sociolinguis-tics, and language documentation and transcription. Crucially, all topics are presented in a way that makes them accessible to linguists who are not familiar with sign language linguistics.

PROSODY AND MEANING  

Based on the Workshop on Prosody and Mean-ing in Barcelona on September 17-18, 2009, this volume brings together researchers working on issues of the prosodic encoding and expression of sentence-level meaning. The contributions to the book result from a vivid exchange of research ideas and research methodologies on issues related to the relationship between prosody and meaning and from stimulating discussions and collaborative work between researchers coming from different perspectives.

THE EMERGENCE OF THE ENGLISH NATIVE SPEAKERA Chapter in Nineteenth-Century Linguistic Thought  

The volume reconstructs the coming-into-being of the English native speaker in the second half of the nineteenth century in order to probe into the origins of the problems surrounding the concept today. A corpus of texts which includes not only the classics of the nineteenth-century linguistic literature but also numerous lesser-known articles from periodi-cal journals of the time is investigated by means of historical discourse analysis in order to retrace the production and reproduction of this particularly important linguistic ideology.

LANGUAGE CONTACT IN A POSTCOLONIAL SETTINGThe Linguistic and Social Context of English and Pidgin in Cameroon  

This volume moves the investigation of World Englishes beyond the processes of indigenization and evolution, focusing on the emergence of native speakers and their role in shaping the norms and standards of postcolonial varieties. Using data from L1 speakers of Cameroon English and Cameroon Pidgin English, the authors reassess the place of contact vis-à-vis ecological and sociocultural pro-cesses through innovative frameworks that provide the emic insights into postcolonial settings needed to complement and expand on the focus of previous research. This fascinating new perspective is of interest to linguistics scholars.

UNDERSTANDING PROSODYThe Role of Context, Function and Communication  

The volume represents a state-of-the-art snapshot of the research on prosody for phoneticians, linguists and speech technologists. It covers well-known models and languages. How are prosodies linked to speech sounds? What are the relations between prosody and grammar? What does speech percep-tion tell us about prosody, particularly about the constituting elements of intonation and rhythm? The papers of the volume address questions like these with a special focus on how the notion of context-based coding, the knowledge of prosodic functions and the communicative embedding of prosodic elements can advance our understanding of prosody.

DIALECTOLOGICAL AND FOLK DIALECTOLOGICAL CONCEPTS OF SPACECurrent Methods and Perspectives in Sociolinguistic Research on Dialect Change  

In variational linguistics, concepts of space have always been a central issue. However, different research traditions considering these concepts (such as traditional dialectology and the new socio-dialectological research directions) for a long time coexisted separately. This volume deals with the inter-relationship between different concepts of “linguistic space” from a dialectologi-cal, sociolinguistic and folk dialectological point of view. It presents fi ndings mainly from empirical studies which take on these different concepts and examines how they relate to one another.

PROSODY AND EMBODIMENT IN INTERACTIONAL GRAMMAR  

Contributing to the current discussion of how the grammar of spoken language use can be theorized, the present volume focuses on the following ques-tions: Should prosodic and visual resources such as gesture, gaze etc. be considered part of such an interactional grammar? If so, how may these aspects of language use be incorporated? Seeking to complement fi ndings from studies informed with an interactional approach, the volume further asks whether the modeling of an interactional grammar may benefi t from instrumental approaches and an-notated corpora.

A GRAMMAR OF CENTRAL ALASKAN YUPIK (CAY)  

The volume is a major grammar of Central Alaskan Yupik (CAY). It is the culmination of the author‘s linguistic studies done in Alaska and elsewhere since around 1960, with assistance of many native speakers. Central Alaskan Yupik is currently the most vigorous of the nineteen remaining Native Alaskan languages. Descriptive in nature, extensive and deep, this grammar is of typological and of ethnological/anthropological interest. Given the severely endangered state of the language, this much of descriptive linguistic material is without comparison in the fi eld.

A GRAMMAR OF NEVERVER  

Neverver is an Oceanic language spoken by just over 500 people on the high island of Malekula in Vanuatu. Drawing on an extensive corpus of fi eld recordings collected between 2004 and 2008, the analysis reveals a very interesting phonological sys-tem with six prenasalized segments, rich systems of possession, tense/aspect/mood marking, valence change, and verb serialization. The grammar is of interest to specialists in Oceanic and Austronesian linguistics, as well as to general linguists, espe-cially those interested in linguistic typology.

A GRAMMAR OF (WESTERN) GARRWA  

Mushin provides the fi rst full grammatical descrip-tion of Garrwa, a critically endangered language of the Southwest Gulf of Carpentaria region in North-ern Australia. Garrwa is typologically interesting because of its uncertain status in the Australian language family, its pronouns and its word order syntax. This book covers Garrwa phonology, morphology and syntax, with a particular focus on the use of grammar in discourse. The grammatical description is supplemented with a word list and text collection, including transcriptions of ordinary conversation.

LINGUISTIC SUPERTYPESA Cognitive-Semiotic Theory of Human Communication  

By integrating ideas of Peirce, Bühler, Bakhtin, Piaget and Jakobson, in this book the author defi nes three linguistic supertypes each operating with ei-ther the situation in reality, the speaker‘s experience of it or his condensed information to the hearer. The theory is built step by step on the basis of a detailed examination of individual languages and their relationship to perception and cognition, their representation of situations and their use in oral and written discourse. The theory offers a completely new understanding of language and its role in perception, cognition and communication.

SIGN LANGUAGES IN VILLAGE COMMUNITIESAnthropological and Linguistic Insights  

The book is a unique collection of research on sign languages that have emerged in rural communities with a high incidence of, often hereditary, deaf-ness. These „village sign languages“ represent the latest addition to the comparative investigation of languages in the gestural modality. With analyses and primary data from eleven different rural com-munities, the volume represents the fi rst concerted effort by leading experts in both anthropology and linguistics to capture the social dynamics of „deaf villages“. The chapters address pertinent issues in contemporary linguistics, such as cross-modal contact situations, typological diversity across sign languages and the impact of language modality on linguistic structure.

MODAL AND FOCUS PARTICLES IN SIGN LANGUAGESA Cross-Linguistic Study  

Bringing together the research fi elds of sign language linguistics and information structure, this book focuses on the realization of modal and focus particles in German Sign Language, Sign Language of the Netherlands, and Irish Sign Language. The study analyzes professionally elicited data with regard to nonmanual features expressed by articulators such as the body, head, and face, and accounts for the results within existing theoretical models. The analyses contribute to recent debates about information structure and the syntax-prosody interface. Thus, this book is of special interest to both sign and spoken language linguists.

DISCOURSE AND GRAMMARFrom Sentence Types to Lexical Categories  

Bringing together papers from various subfi elds of theoretical linguistics, this volume gives a representative glimpse of current research of form and function in grammar. Its overarching topic is the relation between the major clause types and their canonical or idiosyncratic roles in discourse. Though none of the papers addresses the topic in its full breadth, they all make their specifi c contribu-tions to it, scrutinizing the pertinent aspects of the grammatical interfaces and elaborating detailed case studies.

THE SYNTAX OF TOPIC, FOCUS, AND CONTRASTAn Interface-based Approach  

This book addresses how core notions of infor-mation structure (topic, focus and contrast) are expressed in syntax. The authors propose that the syntactic effects of information structure come about as a result of mapping rules fl exible enough to allow topics and foci to be expressed in a variety of positions, but strict enough to capture certain cross-linguistic generalisations about their distribu-tion. Syntactic and semantic evidence from a range of languages are discussed.

PROTO UTIAN GRAMMAR AND DICTIONARY  

This book is the result of over 50 years of research, and it represents an intellectual journey. It is maxi-mally accessible by tabulating the data and insert-ing frequent cross-references. Dictionary entries are in the alphabetical order of the deepest reconstruc-tion in the set, and there is an English-Utian section at the end of the volume. Yokuts (or Proto Yokuts) is also inserted where there is a resemblance. This strategy is especially helpful for those who wish to use the volume for remote comparison. In this man-ner, it can serve as a reference book for seminars on non-traditional languages. The volume is also of interest to theoreticians because Utian languages exhibit features that are rare worldwide.

POSITIONS AND INTERPRETATIONSGerman Adverbial Adjectives at the Syntax-Semantics Interface  

The structural and semantic properties of adverbials represent a still poorly understood area of sentential syntax and semantics in Germanic languages. The volume gives a detailed overview of the system of adverbial adjectives in German, linking the differ-ent types of adverbial usages to different syntactic positions and providing formal derivations for the different usages. The book is of interest not only to anyone working on the linguistics of German but also to all linguists investigating the syntax-semantics interface.

ANNUAL REVIEW OF SOUTH ASIAN LANGUAGES AND LINGUISTICS2012  

South Asia is home to a large number of languages and dialects. Although linguists working on this region have made signifi cant contributions to our understanding of language, society, and language in society on a global scale, there is as yet no recognized international forum for the exchange of ideas amongst linguists working on South Asia. The Annual Review of South Asian Languages and Linguistics is designed to be just that forum. It brings together empirical and theoretical research and serves as a testing ground for the articulation of new ideas and approaches which may be grounded in a study of South Asian languages but which have universal applicability.

CULTURAL SEMANTICS AND SOCIAL COGNITIONA Case Study on the Danish Universe of Meaning  

Words do not emerge in a cultural vacuum. They are revealing of speakers‘ values, cognitive prefer-ences and social practices. With an engaging study of Danish cultural keywords, this book offers a new framework for understanding language-particular universes of meaning and lays the ground for com-parative research into the diversity of semantic and cultural systems in contemporary Europe. The book is of compelling interest to anyone interested in language and cultural values, as well as for students and scholars in Scandinavian and European studies.

Despite a longstanding realization on the part of linguists of the important communicative function of non-verbal gestures there has been no linguis-tic modeling framework to analyze the interplay between language and gesture in human communi-cation. Based upon semiotics and epistemology, the book provides the fi rst such framework to enable a grammatical analysis that integrates language and gesture.

MODERN RHETORIC IN CULTURE, ARTS, AND MEDIA13 Essays  

In the 12 essays of this volume, Tübingen profes-sor of Rhetoric Joachim Knape develops a series of approaches to a modern theory of rhetoric. In doing so, rhetoric is considered both a cultural and a communicative phenomenon. While classical rhetoric concentrated on the communicative fi elds of politics and law, modern research in rhetoric has expanded its perspective, and has turned towards the areas of cultural life, media, and the arts. This volume sheds light on the theoretical and meth-odological aspects of a new rhetoric designed to incorporate these fi elds of interest.

Biographisch-bibliographisches Handbuch

Founded by Wilhelm KoschAcad. advice by Wolfgang Achnitz, Lutz Hagestedt, Mario Müller, Claus-Michael Ort, Reimund B. Sdzuj  

The Deutsches Literatur-Lexikon is one of the best known, most comprehensive and most reliable reference works on German literature. The scope of the Deutsches Literatur-Lexikon is simply unri-valled: Spanning the ages, the work encompasses writers from all eras, ranging from the Middle Ages to the present day. The work presents writers from the Federal Republic of Germany, the former Ger-man Democratic Republic, Switzerland and Aus-tria, as well as German-language writers from other European countries. Articles contain full name, dates of birth and death and a short biography. The bibliographical section provides details on writings, translations, editorial activities, editions, letters, estate, compilations, bibliographies, research reports and academic studies, general portraits and appreciations as well as on secondary literature focussing on individual works.

  BAND 32: WIEDMANN – WIRTH  

The Dictionary of German Literature is one of the best-known and most comprehensive and reliable works of reference on German literature. It spans a period from the Early Middle Ages to most recent times. Vol. 32 includes articles on Josef Winkler, Johann Georg August Wirth, Heinrich Wittenwiler and Christa Wolf. The notion of ‚literature‘ is defi ned very broadly, so the work contains not only authors from the classic genres, but also representa-tives from other fi elds.

DEUTSCHES LITERATUR-LEXIKON. DAS MITTELALTER[Dictionary of German Literature. The Mid-dle Ages. Authors and Works Arranged by Topic Area and Genre]

Autoren und Werke nach Themenkreisen und Gattungen  

The Deutsches Literatur-Lexikon. Das Mittelalter covers German literature in the broadest sense from the 8th to the end of the 15th century. The approxi-mately 6,000 clearly structured articles are arranged according to topic area and genre and are presented chronologically within each category. Introduc-tory essays to each volume provide an overview and place each area in its literary and cultural-historical context. The indices for each volume will be consolidated once the work is completed and published as a separate volume. The articles inform in a detailed but concise way about each writer‘s life and work, and about the content, background and reception history of the works, refl ecting the latest state of research. Besides sections on tradi-tion, editions and selected translations, a list with the most important secondary literature rounds off each article.

The long narrative forms – romances mainly in rhyming couplets or prose and heroic epics in stanzas – take up relatively little space in the fi fth volume, which is why the articles on the pre-dominantly secular short forms – tale, fable, Bispel („comparison“), farce, etc – have been included.

SÄMTLICHE WERKE. HISTORISCH-KRITISCHE AUSGABE[Complete Works: Historical-Critical Edition]  

Alongside Gryphius, the Silesian poet Daniel Casper von Lohenstein (1635-1683) was one of the most important writers of the German Baroque. He was a lawyer, emissary, and imperial councilor, and published a large number of masterful tragedies in addition to his principal creative opus, the large-scale but unfi nished novel Arminius, which is regarded as a roman à clef about social and political conditions in the Holy Roman Empire following the Thirty Years’ War. Lohenstein’s works always contain a wealth of intellectual and educational substance and are characterized by fl ashy effects and lively plots in the style of Baroque theater. Until now, only the dramas (1953ff.) and poems (1992) have appeared in individual editions. The Berlin project thus represents the fi rst complete historical-critical edition with comprehensive commentary. In addition to Lohenstein’s literary works, the volume also includes letters and life testimonies, which deepen our understanding of the author, his times, and his works. The overall edition encompasses 25 volumes and is divided into six sections: Abteilung I: Lyrik (Bearbeiter: Ursula Paintner und Claus Zittel) 1./2. Lyrik - Text u. Varianten 3. Kommentar Abteilung II: Dramen (Bearbeiter: Lothar Mundt) 1.1. Ibrahim Bassa. Cleopatra - Text u. Varianten 1.2. Kommentar 2.1. Aggrippina. Epicharis - Text u. Varianten 2.2. Kom-mentar 3.1. Ibrahim Sultan. Sophonisbe - Text u. Varianten 3.2. Kommentar Abteilung III: Arminius (Bearbeiter: Stefanie Dietzsch, Thomas Rahn und Claus Zittel) 1.-9. Text und Varianten 10. Kom-mentar Abteilung IV: Kleinere Prosa (Bearbeiter: Lothar Mundt, Wolfgang Neuber und Claus Zittel) 1. Text und Varianten 2. Kommentar Abteilung V: Übersetzungen (Bearbeiter: Sebastian Neumeister) 1. Text und Varianten 2. Kommentar Abteilung VI: Briefe, amtliche Schriften, Lebensdokumente, historische Dokumente zur Wirkungsgeschichte (Bearbeiter: Wolfgang Neuber und Thomas Rahn) 1. Text 2. Kommentar In addition to a volume of commentary containing detailed information about the history of the material, sources, facts, and inter-

textual references, each of the editions also includes a precise directory of bibliographical resources, a comprehensive bibliography of the research literature, as well as an index of names. Thus, the editors are presenting what is sure to become the authoritative scholarly edition of the works of this important Baroque poet. For the fi rst time, this edi-tion will make Lohenstein and his complete works fully accessible to research.

BAND 3: IBRAHIM SULTAN - SOPHONISBE[Collected Works: A Historical-Critical Edition]

Teilband 1: Text, Teilband 2: Kommentar  

This volume contains Lohenstein’s last two plays, Ibrahim Sultan (in the 1679 new edition) and Sophonisbe (1680). Ibrahim Sultan covers events taken from 17th century Turkish history. The sub-ject of Sophonisbe is an episode from the Second Punic War. Lohenstein’s own commentaries about these two plays are extensively amplifi ed with bibliographical documentation and translations of all foreign-language citations. A special feature of this volume is the publication for the fi rst time of manuscript versions of portions of Ibrahim Sultan. The commentary is structured in the same way as in Volumes 1 and 2.

The edited print text is based on the fi rst edition, and includes a critical apparatus and line-by-line commentary. An editorial report traces in detail the history of the novella’s creation and transmission.

WERKE[Collected Works. The Oßmannstedt Edition]

Oßmannstedter Ausgabe  

Christoph Martin Wieland (1733-1813) is one of the most significant writers of the Rococo and the Enlightenment; he is considered to be the founder of the Bildungsroman as well as the forerunner of the Weimar Classical period, and was also an outstanding editor and translator. This edition com-prising his extensive collected works, published in its entirety for the first time, is the result of an important endeavor which is long overdue and very significant for literary history: the 36 volumes pres-ent not only his poetic works, but also Wieland‘s definitive translations (including Shakespeare and Cicero) in chronological order, whereby each volume is supplemented by a commentary volume. This high-quality edition is sure to become a standard work for scientists as well as interested laypersons. Key features: Sure to become a definitive edition of the collected works of Christoph Martin Wieland First integrated presentation of Wieland‘s works and translations in chronological order Extensive commentary and culture-historical expla-nation of all works

Band 1: Text

Rev by Hans-Peter Nowitzki, Heinz-Günther Nesselrath  

None of Wieland’s poems was more enthusiasti-cally celebrated by his contemporaries than his verse poem Oberon, A Poem in Fourteen Songs, a work situated between the worlds of romance and the classical epic. The oft-translated epic, frequently dramatized and set to music, became part of the canon of required school readings in the 19th century. Throughout his life, Wieland devoted special attention to the comical verse epic that was linked to the medieval knightly epics of Ariosto and Tasso. Even before he first published the work in 1780, he had already transcribed it seven times, each time with alterations and improvements. The present volume presents the Oberon poem exactly as it first appeared more than 230 years ago. In addition, the volume includes contemporary essays, dialogues, transla-tions, poems, and critical reviews by Wieland.

Until now, there has been no complete critical textual edition of the works of Günther, after Carl Enders was unable to realize his publishing plans and since Wilhelm Krämer’s edition remained incomplete. The new edition takes all of the works of the great Silesian poet into consideration, includ-ing their preliminary stages and fragments. The commentary section provides detailed explanations of the textual legacy and dissemination, including musical settings of the poetry and translations. The occasions and dates for writing the poems are dis-cussed, and diffi cult sections are explained. Thus, literary critics and friends of literature will at last have a secure foundation for interpreting the texts.

Zur Theorie der Zeitung in Deutschland zwischen dem 17. und dem mittleren 19. Jahrhundert  

As the new medium of the 17th century, the news-paper helped shape the core structural conditions for modernity: an accelerated pace of circula-tion, new information pathways, networking, and the reproduction of knowledge. These changes confronted the academic world with a major conceptual challenge: How should one describe the complexity associated with the newspaper as a new medium? The study traces the history of discourse about “Fama‘s Medium” (Fama was the Roman Goddess of rumor) between the 17th and the 19th centuries, and shows how that discourse might be linked to modern media theory, such as that of Marshall McLuhan.

BEZIEHUNG UND BRUCH IN DER POETIK GERTRUD KOLMARS[Broken discourses in the poetry of Gertrud Kolmar. A transtextual analysis of cryptic german-jewish diff erence]

Verborgene deutsch-jüdische Diskurse im Gedicht  

Using Gertrud Kolmar’s (1894-1943) complex rela-tionship to her German-Jewish origins as a point of departure, this study explores the hidden discursive structures in her poetry. The focus is on the poem “Garden in Summer” from her 1937 cycle of poems titled WELTEN (WORLDS). A detailed analysis of transtextual traces and their discursive interpolation reveals the poem as a kaleidoscope of scenarios of cultural, emotional, and spiritual encounter and permeation between Germanness and Jewishness within the scope of a melancholic “endgame.”

THE ARCHITECTURE OF MODERN CULTURETowards a Narrative Cultural Theory  

These collected essays contain fundamental contributions to contemporary cultural analysis and theory as well as exemplary interpretations of fi lm, literature and other media. Central issues of current cultural studies are addressed: cultural narratives, cultural identity, collective memory and post-colonial thinking. The oeuvre of cultural and literary critic Wolfgang Müller-Funk encompasses historic analyses such as readings of Broch, Canetti and Musil, and the heritage they passed on. Other essays move from the beginning of the 20th to the 21st century and address questions of space, time and globalization discussing, for example, Walter Benjamin and 9/11.

DAS BIBELEPOS IN DER FRÜHEN NEUZEIT[The Biblical Epic in the Early Modern Age]

Zur deutschen Geschichte einer europäischen Gattung  

Since Late Antiquity the biblical epic has been one of the most lively literary genres. It was practised not only in scholarly but also popular languages. This study deals with biblical epic in the Early Modern Age, a subject that has been neglected to date. Chronologically it follows on from the funda-mental works of Herzog and Kartschoke. It looks not just at theoretical aspects of the genre, but also at questions of the forms and functions of European biblical epic and the reception of biblical content. A repertory of the genre is arranged according to systematic aspects.

POEMATA SELECTA – AUSGEWÄHLTE GEDICHTE (1579–1614)[Poemata Selecta – Selected Poems (1579–1614)]  

Founded in 1576, the University of Helmstedt was a brilliant center of late German humanism, a period that has been largely neglected in academic research. For the fi rst time, this volume presents the lyrical works of Heinrich Meibom the Elder (1555-1625), who held the Helmstedt professorship of poetry for over 40 years. If offers a representa-tive selection of his work, including texts in all the formats of neo-Latin poetry that he employed (including parodies of Horace, Virgilian centos, oc-casional poems, and spiritual poetry). An appendix including poetic self-references and biographical documentation provides insights into the author’s working world.

DIE EUROPÄISCHE BANISE[The European Banise. Reception and Translation of a Best-Selling Baroque Novel]

Rezeption und Übersetzung eines barocken Bestsellers  

The Asiatische Banise (“The Asian Banise”) (1689), written by Heinrich Anshelm von Zigler und Kliphausen (1663-1697), was the most suc-cessful German baroque novel before Goethe’s Werther. Its popularity throughout Europe is further evidenced by the publication of a sequel novel; sev-eral operatic versions, stage plays, and poems; as well as translations into Swedish, Russian, Dutch, and French. This interdisciplinary collection docu-ments and analyzes for the fi rst time the singular history of the reception of the Asiatische Banise.

norms, rules, and laws have determined the interac-tion of people throughout time, and yet transgres-sions have always occurred. Crime and subsequent punishments are fundamental issues identifying every society. The articles in this volume study medieval laws and documents refl ecting on vices, crimes, and wrongdoings and thus give a profound analysis of the premodern world in its development in social, economic, legal, moral, and ethical terms.

HEINE UND BYRON[Heine and Byron. The Poetics of Intervening Art at the Beginning of the Modern Age]

Poetik eingreifender Kunst am Beginn der Moderne  

This study explores Heine’s complex reading of Byron and demonstrates the inadequacy of the no-tion of world-weariness (Weltschmerz) as a domi-nant paradigm for comparing these two writers. On the basis of comprehensive textual analysis, Alex-andra Böhm suggests that between 1815 and 1930, during the threshold period between Romanticism and Realism, both Byron and Heine developed a “poetics of intervening art” (Poetik eingreifender Kunst). This performative poetics not only casts Heine’s reading of Byron in a new light but also serves to more precisely situate the relationship of both of these writers to Romantic positions.

DIE ‚ACHT SELIGKEITEN‘ DES PRAGER PREDIGERS HEINRICH VON ST. GALLEN[The Eight Beatitudes from the Prague preacher Heinrich von St. Gallen]  

Originating around 1400, this sermon cycle about the Eight Beatitudes is ascribed to Heinrich von St. Gallen, the author of the widely disseminated trea-tise on the Passion, Extendit manum. The Eight Be-atitudes is one of the few pieces of textual evidence surviving from the German pulpit in pre-Hussite Prague. The present publication is the fi rst-ever critical edition of the sermon cycle. It sheds light on the cultural environment of the presumed author and discusses the connections between the sermons and other works attributed to Heinrich von St. Gal-len. The appendix includes several related texts that are being published for the fi rst time.

DER ÖFFENTLICHE VATER[The Public Father. Ideas of Paternal Authority in German Literature (1755–1921)]

Konzeptionen paternaler Souveränität in der deutschen Literatur (1755–1921)  

From the time it emerged in the 18th century until its collapse in the 20th century, the model of the bourgeois father held a central place in politics and literature. For the fi rst time, the present study systematically examines the history of this construct with a focus on the interplay between the mechanisms of paternal authority and the emo-tionalization of the family as part of the bourgeois value system. The familial structures portrayed in literature are acknowledged as important blueprints for the representation of sovereignty and for the interplay between government and society.

VISUALIZING LAW AND AUTHORITYEssays on Legal Aesthetics  

The volume “Visualizing Law and Authority. Es-says on Legal Aesthetics” brings together revised papers from the international conference “Law and the Image”, held in Stockholm, 24–25 September, 2010. The participants/contributors belong to the disciplines of Art history, Cultural studies, Literary and Media studies, and Law. The contributions discuss the complex relations between law, media and visual phenomena. The common theme of the essays consists in an examination of the scopic fi eld and of regimes of visibility in phenomenological terms, arguing that law constitutes a cognitive and aesthetic fi eld of normative world-making. Rather than merely inverting Shelley’s dictum that the “poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world”, the essays argue in different ways for the necessity to develop a legal aesthetics.

This volume is a Nordic contribution to research on law and humanities. It treats the legal culture of the Nordic countries through intensive analyses of canonical Nordic literature, fi lm and theater from the Icelandic sagas to Lars von Trier‘s Dogme fi lms of today. It strives to answer two fundamental questions: Is there a special Nordic justice? What does the Nordic legal and literary culture mean for the concept of justice and for the understanding of the interdisciplinary exchange of law and literature?

SCHREIBEN, BILDUNG UND GESPRÄCH[Writing, Education, and Discussion]

Mediale Absichten bei Baudri de Bourgueil, Gervasius von Tilbury und Ulrich von Liechtenstein  

In the primarily oral culture of the medieval court, authors of sophisticated literary texts still took into account forms of reception beyond the words themselves, including, for example, the role of performers, who they sometimes mentioned in paratexts. They also attempted at times to inscribe reception modes in the texts themselves. These modes enlisted discussions and explanations to activate the texts. The book’s discussion includes epistolary poems for a sophisticated literary circle, texts intended to educate royal recipients, and the lyrical tradition of the ‘Frauendienst.’

(RE-)WRITING THE RADICALEnlightenment, Revolution and Cultural Transfer in 1790s Germany, Britain and France  

The essays in this volume discuss the overlap between philosophical, aesthetic, and political con-cerns in the 1790s either in the work of individu-als or in the transfer of cultural materials across national borders, which tended to entail adaptation and transformation. What emerges is a clearer understanding of the “fate” of the Enlightenment, its radicalization and its “overcoming” in aesthetic and political terms, and of the way in which politi-cal “paranoia”, generated by the fear of a spreading revolutionary radicalism, facilitated and infl uenced the cultural transfer of the “radical”.

TURNING POINTSConcepts and Narratives of Change in Literature and Other Media  

At times of crisis and revolution such as ours, diagnoses of crucial junctures and ruptures – ‘turn-ing points’ – in the continuous fl ow of history are more prevalent than ever. Analysing literary, cinematic and other narratives, the volume seeks to understand the meanings conveyed by different concepts of turning points, the alternative concepts to which they are opposed when used to explain historical change, and those contexts in which they are unmasked as false and over-simplifying constructions.

LITERARISCHER PRIMITIVISMUS[Literary Primitivism in the Early 20th Century]  

This volume explores the usefulness and limita-tions of the concept of literary primitivism. The individual essays propose theories of primitiv-ism and reconstruct its historical and theoretical background. Using literary examples, they reveal the contours of literary primitivism and explain its relationship to primitivism in the visual arts. The overall picture that emerges from the analysis is of primitivism as a powerful force in the development of literary modernity.

BRIEFKULTUR[The Culture of Correspondence]

Texte und Interpretationen – von Martin Luther bis Thomas Bernhard  

In a novel endeavor, the 25 representative interpre-tations contained in this volume converge upon the communicative phenomenon of the letter by means of precise and methodologically diverse individual readings. Taken together, they trace a history of the culture of German-language correspondence from the 16th to the late 20th centuries. Drawing on in-terdisciplinary perspectives, the book refl ects about the textuality, materiality and mediality of the letter as well as its rhetorical communicative function,  the value of correspondence as a form of historical documentation, and the history of letter archiving and publishing.

NARRATIVE, INTERRUPTEDThe Plotless, the Disturbing and the Trivial in Literature  

What do boring stories and seemingly insignifi cant details reveal about the nature of narrative? How does narrativity manifest itself in forms such as stanzaic poetry and fi ctional dialogue? Narra-tive, Interrupted probes the limits of narrativity by focusing on the anti-linear, anti-causal and non-natural tendencies of literature. The book highlights the potential of literature to subvert the natural, cognitive frames of reading. It investigates that moment when a chain of events is disturbed by something that lies underneath: a feeling, an image, the shadow of the author.

ARISTOTLE’S PSYCHOLOGY OF SIGNIFICATIONA Commentary on “De Interpretatione” 16a 3-18  

This book reconstructs the theory of signifi cation implicit in Aristotle’s De Interpretatione and its psychological background in his De Anima. The study develops in three steps that correspond to the three elements involved in every notion of signifi ca-tion: (1) the phonetic element or signifi cans, called phônê by Aristotle, (2) the signifi catum, i. e. what the phonetic material stands for, and (3) the relation between signifi cans and signifi catum. This work breaks new ground by connecting the linguistic and psychological aspects of Aristotle’s theory of signifi cation.

OATH AND STATE IN ANCIENT GREECE  

The oath was an institution of fundamental impor-tance across a wide range of social interactions throughout the ancient Greek world, making a crucial contribution to social stability and harmony; yet there has been no comprehensive, dedicated scholarly study of the subject for over a century. This volume of a two-volume study explores how oaths functioned in the working of the Greek city-state (polis) and in relations between different states as well as between Greeks and non-Greeks.

KÖNIG ÖDIPUS[Sophocles, „Oedipus Tyrannus“. With Text, Translation, and Commentary]  

Sophocles’ Oedipus Tyrannus is one of the best-known and most infl uential ancient tragedies. As the plot develops, Oedipus, King of Thebes, comes to the realization that he has unknowingly mur-dered his father and married his mother, and there-upon blinds himself. The drama is presented in this edition as a critically revised Greek text with a new German translation, and includes a comprehensive introduction and continuous commentary, for which no knowledge of Ancient Greek is assumed. Ad-ditional information is provided for readers who are conversant with Greek.

DIE ENTDECKUNG DES KÖRPERS[The Discovery of the Body]

Körper- und Rollenbilder im Athen des 8. und 7. Jahrhunderts v. Chr.  

The Athenian discovery of the human body and its roles in images from the 8th and 7th centuries BCE furnishes a central discursive perspective for understanding Athenian society. This work begins by analysing the themes portrayed in Athenian imagery, considering the reciprocal infl uences between body images and social roles. It then goes on to contextualize body images – for example, in terms of the agency of images and their portrayal. On this foundation, changing body images and roles are distilled into a cultural history of early Athenian society.

The mathematical works of Abu Kamil (fl oruit circa 880) were produced two generations after the works of Al-Khwarizmi, the founder of algebra. They opened up fi elds of research that proved fertile up until the seventeenth century, and were soon to become both a reference and a model. Their infl uence was decisive on the development of algebra in Arabic no less than in Latin and Hebrew. There will be found in the present publication the fi rst rigorously critical edition of Abu Kamil’s works, as well as the fi rst ever translation into a modern language. Text and translation are preceded by an exhaustive commentary, at once mathemati-cal and historical.

THE LYRIC OF IBYCUSIntroduction, Text and Commentary  

Ibycus is a crucial fi gure in the world of archaic poetry, whose work has not received the attention it deserves. This commentary brings together his most important fragments, together with some less well-known pieces which give insight to his content and style. It provides an introduction to Ibycus’ life and poetry, an individual analysis of each fragment and a detailed commentary on the text, with a new edition of the papyrus fragments. This study thus includes both the minutiae of textual criticism and the broader literary/historical concerns of Ibycus’ work.

NOSCENDI NILUM CUPIDOImagining Egypt from Lucan to Philostratus  

What signifi cations did Egypt have for the Romans a century after Actium and afterwards? How did Greek imperial authors respond to the Roman fascination with the Nile? This book explores Egypt’s aftermath beyond the hostility of Augustan rhetoric, and Greek and Roman topoi of Egyptian “barbarism”. Set against history and material culture, Julio-Claudian, Flavian, Antonine, and Severan authors reveal a multivalent Egypt that defi nes Rome’s increasingly diffuse identity while remaining a tantalizing tertium quid between Ro-man Selfhood and foreign Otherness.

DIE „GEOGRAPHIE“ DES PTOLEMAIOS IM SPIEGEL DER GRIECHISCHEN HANDSCHRIFTEN[Ptolemy’s “Geography” in the Mirror of the Greek Manuscripts]  

The present volume taps into the heretofore scarcely leveraged potential offered by a codico-logical and paleographic approach to reconstruct the history of Ptolemy’s Geography. The author presents many of the work‘s manuscripts for the fi rst time, and also provides a number of illuminat-ing insights about the history of the reception of Ptolemy’s Geography.

In coop. with Hermann Patsch  

Literary and philosophical scholars have long anticipated the publication of a comprehensive critical edition of Schleiermacher’s Lectures on Hermeneutics and Criticism (1805–1833) based on his manuscripts and various lecture transcripts performed by students. This new volume specifi -cally makes available for the fi rst time the transcript of the 1819 lecture undertaken by Schleiermacher’s beloved student and subsequent literary executor, Ludwig Jonas, as well as Braune’s transcript of a lecture from 1826. In the latter, Schleiermacher ad-dresses the issue of criticism from philological and other perspectives.

STRATEGIES IN THE STUDY OF RELIGIONS  

VOLUME 1: EXPLORING METHODS AND POSITIONS  

These previously scattered texts by Michael Pye are landmarks in the development of the study of reli-gions, presented here as an international enterprise with roots in both European and East Asian culture. This fi rst volume comprises fundamental papers on method and theory, while the second volume uses case studies to explore a number of themes such as tradition, innovation, and syncretism. Wider themes such as civil identity, dialogue, and religious education illustrate the general relevance of the study of religions. The seven sections spanning both volumes are well designed for use in seminar assignments.

FROM JUST WAR TO MODERN PEACE ETHICS  

This book rewrites the history of Christian peace ethics. Christian refl ection on reducing violence or overcoming war has roots extending back to ancient Roman philosophy, and it eventually decisively infl uenced the formation of modern international law. This study traces the development of the tradi-tion from Cicero, Augustine and Thomas Aquinas to early modern thinkers including Vitoria, Suarez, Martin Luther, Hugo Grotius and Immanuel Kant. These sources infl uenced modern peace ethics’ cosmopolitanism and international law-based ap-proach, as can be found in the late Pope John Paul II’s peace teaching.

JOHN’S GOSPELThe Coptic Translations of its Greek Text  

This monograph explores the history of the Coptic tradition of John’s gospel, considering when these ancient Egyptian witnesses are profi table for deter-mining the earliest readings of their Greek source text. The standard critical edition of the Greek New Testament cites the Coptic versions no fewer than 1,000 times in John’s gospel. For these citations, that edition references six dialectally distinct Coptic translations: the Achmimic, Bohairic, Lyco-politan (Subachmimic), Middle Egyptian Fayumic, Proto-Bohairic, and Sahidic versions. In addition to examining these, this project considers newly published texts from the Fayumic and Middle Egyptian traditions. John’s gospel is extant in more Coptic dialectal versions than any other biblical text. As a result, the gospel offers unique insight into the nature of the ancient Egyptian Christian communities.

MY PSALM HAS TURNED INTO WEEPINGJob’s Dialogue with the Psalms  

Drawing inspiration from the widely recognized parody of Ps 8:5 in Job 7:17–18, this study inquires whether other allusions to the Psalms might like-wise contribute to the dialogue between Job, his friends, and God. An intertextual analysis reveals six psalms (1, 8, 39, 73, 107, 139) that serve as sub-texts in the Job dialogue. The dialogue thus created between Job and these psalms indicates the concern the book has with the proper response to suffering and the role the interpretation of authoritative texts may play in that reaction.

APOCALYPTIC IMAGINATION IN THE GOSPEL OF MARKThe Literary and Theological Role of Mark 3:22-30  

This narrative study uses Mark 3:22–30 as an interpretive lens to show that the Gospel of Mark has a thoroughly apocalyptic outlook. Unlike many narrative studies, this book clarifi es Mark’s sym-bols, metaphors, and themes in view of the socio-religious context in which it was written. Mark’s apocalyptic discourse portrays the Spirit-fi lled Jesus in a struggle against Satan to free people for a community that does God’s will. This discourse develops throughout the Gospel, functioning to persuade readers that God displays power from weakness, and offering a coherent reading of Mark.

DIE ZUKUNFT ISRAELS BEI LUKAS[Israel’s Future According to Luke]

Biblisch-frühjüdische Zukunftsvorstellungen im lukanischen Doppelwerk im Vergleich zu Röm 9-11  

Paul’s statements in Romans 9–11 are considered the fundamental texts in the New Testament under-lying theological discourse about the possibilities of salvation for Jews who did not believe in Jesus as the Messiah. Meanwhile, the importance of the dual contribution contained in Luke-Acts is often underestimated. This monograph highlights the potential signifi cance of the Gospel of Luke. It explores the Biblical traditions about Israel’s salva-tion that were received by Luke and Paul, and uses textual analyses of different portions of Luke-Acts to show that like Paul, Luke also held out escha-tological hope for Israel, although this hope was based on a different perspective.

UNZERTRENNLICHE DRILLINGE?[Inseparable Triplets?]

Motivsemantische Untersuchungen zum literarischen Verhältnis der Pastoralbriefe  

Ever since the work of Heinrich Julius Holtzmann, the pastoral epistles have been regarded as “insepa-rable triplets”. And yet, if one analyzes these letters as a corpus of literary works, it is hard to fi nd a plausible explanation for the substantive differences between them. Therefore, this study returns to the question of the specifi c nature of the individual epistles and their literary relationships. In the end, it can be shown that the fi rst Letter to Timothy is the most recent text. Its author had already received the two other pastoral epistles as part of the Pauline tradition.

THE RHETORIC OF INTERRUPTIONSpeech-Making, Turn-Taking, and Rule-Breaking in Luke-Acts and Ancient Greek Narrative  

In the Gospel according to Luke and the Acts of the Apostles, speakers are often interrupted by emotional audiences (Luke 4:28; Acts 4:1; 7:54–57; 13:48; etc.). A comparative study of other Greek authors, from Homer to Josephus, reveals the high frequency and unique form of interruption in Luke’s two volumes. Intentional interruption func-tions rhetorically to underscore the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the availability of salvation to the Gentiles, thus illuminating both Lukan theology and literary technique.

REFLECTIONS ON RELIGIOUS INDIVIDUALITYGreco-Roman and Judaeo-Christian Texts and Practices  

Did ancient religions know religious individuality? How did it work in texts and practices related to texts? The creation of texts offered opportunities to express one’s own religious experience and shape one’s own religious personality – within the bound-aries of what is acceptable. Greek and Latin, Jewish and Christian texts from the Hellenistic period down to Late Antiquity created exemplary individu-als or condemned individual deviance. The volume presents exemplary cases and analyses, which open a new fi eld for research in the history of religion, covering ritual and literary innovations.

EUTHALIAN TRADITIONSText, Translation and Commentary  

The auxiliary material preserved in New Testament manuscripts has been neglected by scholars. The present study treats the Euthalian paraphrases and the biblical text of Acts and the Letters together, as a ‘system’. The book is of interest to students of the reception of the New Testament. It also includes a study on the meta-terminology of the apparatus, written in collaboration with David Hellholm.

SITUATION UND BOTSCHAFT[Situation and Message: Anthropology and Christology as Soteriological Media-tors in the Open Forms of Thought of Paul Tillich and Walter Kasper]

Die soteriologische Vermittlung von Anthropologie und Christologie in den off enen Denkformen von Paul Tillich und Walter Kasper  

Salvation is a dramatic event. What form of thought is appropriate for the relationship between God and Man: analogy, dialectics, or paradox? Paul Tillich and Walter Kasper may be regarded as the 20th century heirs to Schelling’s version of German Ide-alism. In response to the conundrums that emerge from the anthropological transition to postmodern-ism and from modern man’s position of alienation from God, Tillich and Kasper boldly attempted to conceptualize theology in terms of soteriology. Is there still a Christian message that speaks to the predicament of modern man and can “embrace” people today?

SCIENTIFIC CONCEPTS AND INVESTIGATIVE PRACTICE  

Recent philosophy and history of science has seen a surge of interest in the role of concepts in scientifi c research. Combining philosophical and historical scholarship, the articles in this volume investigate the ways in which scientists form and use concepts, rather than in what the concepts themselves rep-resent. The fi elds treated range from mathematics to virology and genetics, from nuclear physics to psychology, from technology to present-day neural engineering.

ACHTUNG FÜR DAS GESETZ[Respect for the Moral Law. Morality and Motivation in Kant]

Moral und Motivation bei Kant  

How can what we view as morally correct be the motive force for our actions? This work investi-gates this question with a view to Kant’s action theory and moral philosophy, based on a close textual reading. The author argues that Kant’s response to the question of moral motivation is a theory of practical rationality in which the practical importance of moral reasons as motives is made understandable through a theory of moral-rational sensibility.

TECHNISCHE VERNUNFT[Technical Reason]

Kants Zweckbegriff und das Problem einer Philosophie der technischen Kultur  

This work attempts to overcome the prejudice that Kant‘s philosophy is inadequate for a refl ection of the cultural world. The author explores the possibil-ity of a cultural philosophy based upon a Kantian notion of culture, and contends that Kant‘s under-standing of philosophy can be viewed as a theory of technical reason. The line of argument reveals that it is possible to reconstruct at least the outlines of a Kantian philosophy of culture.

1872-1889  

The works of Friedrich Nietzsche that were released during his life time were reviewed in nu-merous periodicals. This volume gathers all reviews (approx. 150) along with the reactions they incited among Friedrich Nietzsche and his contemporaries. It is thus an essential reference work for 19th centu-ry cultural history and reception research.

NIETZSCHES PHILOSOPHIE DES UNBEWUSSTEN[Nietzsche‘s Philosophy of the Uncon-scious]  

The contributions address the multi-dimensional category of the unconscious in Nietzsche’s philoso-phy, in order to analyze the modern dilemmatic human existence. The approaches originate from a wide range of disciplines, including anthropology, cognitive sciences, gender studies, literary studies, philosophy, psychology, and psychoanalysis. An equally broad range of topics are discussed, such as aesthetics and psychic energy in the arts, philoso-phy of consciousness, epistemology, morality, culture, and religion.

SINNKRITISCHES PHILOSOPHIEREN[Critical Philosophy]  

In current philosophy, increasing attention is being devoted to a way of doing philosophy which is critical of sense, meaning, reference, and related categories. This philosophical tendency views human, rational practice as the primary source of sense and meaning and as a privileged object of philosophical inquiry. This volume assembles essays that explore central aspects of a critical philosophy of human practice, including questions concerning the structure and form of human action, the meaning of religious speech and practice, and the relationship between knowledge and perception.

Rev by Helmut Müller  

Founded in 1196, the Bredelar Cistercian Mon-astery reached its greatest period of fl owering during the 13th and 14th centuries. During this time the cloister owned an extensive library collection, containing up to 1,350 volumes, and generated signifi cant illuminated biblical manu-scripts. The Thirty Years’ War and Seven Years’ War weakened the monastery, which was rebuilt on two occasions prior to its closure in 1804. This book by Helmut Müller, which is devoted to the Bredelar Cistercian Monastery, constitutes the fi rst volume about the Diocese of Paderborn within the Germania Sacra series. Following the established pattern for this series, the author presents the history of the Bredelar Monastery in relation to the Westphalian monasteries described in previous volumes, such as the Liesborn Benedictine Abbey and the Marienfeld Cistercian Monastery.

During the Early Modern Period, thousands of Protestants converted to Roman Catholicism in Rome. Based on numerous unpublished Vatican sources, the author examines the institutional, political, and religious aspects of this phenomenon. She also explores the fate of those who converted. This multi-perspectival approach shows the history of conversions as a fruitful fi eld of research for examining elements of cultural contact as well as associated processes of exchange and adaptation.

Selbst- und Fremdzuschreibungen im 20. und 21. Jahrhundert

Preface by Christina von Braun  

The  reciprocal relationships between Jewish self-characterizations and outside attributions of Jewish-ness remain of key importance for understanding the history of German-Jewish relations. At the heart of this volume are fi ctional models of „Jewishness,“ distinctions between different Jewish groups, as well as an examination of how internal Jewish dis-course responded to anti-Semitic attributions - for example, during the time of the Weimar Republic.

DIE REVOLUTION VON 1918/19 IN DER DEUTSCHEN GESCHICHTS-SCHREIBUNG[The Revolution of 1918–19 in German Historiography: The Metamorphosis of its Interpretation from the Weimar Republic to the 21st Century]

Deutungen von der Weimarer Republik bis ins 21. Jahrhundert  

The interpretations ascribed to the German Revolu-tion of 1918-19 have undergone signifi cant change over time. It has been viewed alternatively as a „stab in the back“ of the German army and treason against the Fatherland to an event that prevented the rise of Bolshevism and as a missed opportunity for democratization. This study documents for the very fi rst time German historiography concerning the Revolution over a period of nearly 100 years.

MAX PECHSTEIN: THE RISE AND FALL OF EXPRESSIONISM  

Max Pechstein (1881–1955) is one of the most prominent German artists of the twentieth cen-tury, not least because of his crucial role in the breakthrough of German Expressionism. This long overdue biography combines the portrayal of an outstanding artistic personality with the story of an individual German who struggled through the political upheavals of his time. Pechstein‘s work is presented in the cultural context of museum politics and art associations, art dealers and critics, market forces and cultural trends.

PERSONAL- UND ORGANISATIONS-ENTWICKLUNG IN BIBLIOTHEKEN[Staff -Related and Organizational Developments in Libraries]  

There is considerable pressure on libraries to change and evolve. Key elements here include the shift in the library sector from printed to digital literature and information, the major effects of this shift on the service portfolios, on working and organizational processes and on the deployment of staff. The potential confl ict between service in-novations and the need to cut costs presents a major challenge to information institutions; this collection of articles takes a solution-oriented approach to the various dimensions of the challenge.

TRANSFORMING THE BODLEIAN  

The transformation of the Bodleian Libraries provides an example of how major libraries can meet twenty-fi rst century challenges: in 2008 it was facing a failed system installation, a failed plan to cope with its storage needs and the threat of losing status as a repository suitable to house important manuscripts. Three years later it had a new state-of-the-art repository already holding 7 million items under full automated control, a new advanced library system, transformed reader spaces and the reconstruction of its major building well under way; This was achieved in record-breaking time without signifi cant interruptions in service.

What competences are needed for heritage librar-ians, and how can they be taught? The manage-ment of heritage collections requires a unique mix of knowledge and skills, including expertise in preservation and conservation; heritage policies; acquisitions and collection management; biblio-graphic description; the materiality of books and other collection objects; and the history of libraries. Librarians must also understand the need for open access, the importance of marketing, and the chal-lenges posed by digitization.

MEDIALITÄT UND MENSCHENBILD[Mediality and Human Nature]  

Ideas about human nature are forms of anthro-pological knowledge; they are woven from ideas about human characteristics that vary historically and culturally: about the body, the psyche, the social context, and transcendence - in other words, about the „nature“ or „essence“ of humanity. This interdisciplinary publication uses representa-tive case studies to explore the particularities and evolution of ideas about human nature, as com-municated by the media, and to draw conclusions about the fundamental relationship between medial-ity and ideas concerning what it is to be human.

This is the latest edition of Elizabeth Moys‘ classic reference work for law librarians. This edition will bridge a 10-year gap since the 4th edition. Sub-stantial revisions will be made including extended coverage to feature new areas, resulting in a more comprehensive and reliable book for law librarians which will help them to classify their law publica-tions effectively. This edition has been revised and expanded by Diana Morris in conjunction with a team of contributing editors, who use the scheme daily. This publication is essential for law librarians or information workers with an interest in law librarianship, especially those who already use the Moys Classifi cation Scheme in academic, corporate and other law libraries.

SOLUTION SETS FOR DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS AND INCLUSIONS  

This monograph gives a systematic presentation of classical and recent results obtained in the last couple of years. It comprehensively describes the methods concerning the topological structure of fi xed point sets and solution sets for differen-tial equations and inclusions. Many of the basic techniques and results recently developed about this theory are presented, as well as the literature that is disseminated and scattered in several papers of pio-neering researchers who developed the functional analytic framework of this fi eld over the past few decades. Several examples of applications relating to initial and boundary value problems are dis-cussed in detail. The book is intended to advanced graduate researchers and instructors active in re-search areas with interests in topological properties of fi xed point mappings and applications; it also aims to provide students with the necessary under-standing of the subject with no deep background material needed. This monograph fi lls the vacuum in the literature regarding the topological structure of fi xed point sets and its applications.

NARROW OPERATORS ON FUNCTION SPACES AND VECTOR LATTICES  

Narrow operators are those operators defi ned on function spaces which are „small‘‘ at signs, i.e. at {-1,0,1}-valued functions. Numerous works and research papers exist on these, but no coherent monograph yet to place them in context. This book gives comprehensive treatment of narrow operators. It starts with basics and then systematically builds up the case. It also covers geometrical applications and Gaussian embeddings.

RANDOM FIELDS AND STOCHASTIC LAGRANGIAN MODELSAnalysis and Applications in Turbulence and Porous Media  

Probabilistic approach and stochastic simulation become more and more popular in all branches of science and technology, especially in problems where the data are randomly fl uctuating, or they are highly irregular in deterministic sense. As a rule, in such problems it is very diffi cult and expensive to carry out measurements to extract the desired data. As important examples the book mentions the turbulent fl ow simulation in atmosphere, and construction of fl ows through porous media. The temporal and spatial scales of the input parameters in this class of problems are varying enormously, and the behaviour is very complicated, so that there is no chance to describe it deterministically.

QUANTUM SYSTEMS, CHANNELS, INFORMATIONA Mathematical Introduction  

The main emphasis of this work is the mathemati-cal theory of quantum channels and their entropic and information characteristics. The past years were marked with impressive progress made by several researchers in solution of some diffi cult problems, in particular, the additivity of the entropy characteristics of quantum channels. This suggests a need for a book that not only introduces the basic concepts of quantum information theory, but also presents in detail some of the latest achievements.

ORIGIN OF THE MOON. NEW CONCEPTGeochemistry and Dynamics  

  

The origin of the Moon remains an unsolved problem of the planetary science. Researchers engaged in celestial dynamics, geophysics, and geochemistry are still discussing various models of creation of our closest cosmic neighbour. The most popular scenario, the impact hypothesis involving a collision early in the Earth‘s history, has been substantially challenged by the new data. The birth and development of a planet-moon system always play a role in the formation of an entire planetary system around our Sun or around another star. This way, the story of our Moon acquires broader rami-fi cations for one of the hottest topics of the modern scholarship. All this has motivated the authors of this book to present and compare the currently dis-cussed theories, and to analyze their advantages and shortcomings in explaining the experimental data.

Since the discovery of X-ray diffraction in 1913 over 100 000 different inorganic substances (also called compounds or phases) have been structurally characterized. The aim of this reference work is to provide the researcher with a comprehensive com-pilation of all up to now crystallographically identi-fied inorganic substances in only one volume. All data have been processed and critically evaluated by the „Pauling File“ editorial team using a unique software package. Each substance is represented in a single row containing information adapted to the number of chemical elements.

HANDBUCH DER ZOOLOGIE/ HANDBOOK OF ZOOLOGYEine Naturgeschichte der Stämme des Tierreiches / A Natural History of the Phyla of the Animal Kingdom

Founded by Willy Kükenthal  

The renowned German reference work The Handbuch der Zoologie/Handbook of Zoology was founded in the 1920‘s by Professor Willi Kükenthal in Berlin and treated the complete animal kingdom from single cell organisms to mammals in eight thematic volumes: Volume I Protozoa, Porifera, Colenteratea, Mesozoa (1925); Volume II Worms (1933/34); Volume III Arthropoda ex. Insecta (1927/1932);  Volume IV Arthopoda: Insecta; Volume V Solenogastres, Mollusca, Echinoderma (1925); Volume VI Pisces / Amphibia (1930); Volume VII Reptilia / Aves (1931); Volume VIII Mammalia. The Volumes Insecta (Eds. N.P. Kristensen, R.G. Beutel) and Mammalia (Eds. M.S. Fischer, H. Schliemann) continued publication into the present with the most recent contributions in English language. Covering nearly 100 years of zoological research, the Handbook of Zoology represents a vast store of knowledge. But with the speed of scientific discovery in the past decades, a new edition of the Handbook in a new form is required. Begin-ning in 2010 the Handbook of Zoology will be restructured and offered additionally as a database (Zoology Online) which can be easily searched and rapidly updated. The eight thematic volumes will be replaced with smaller and more flexible groupings that reflect the current state of phyloge-netic knowledge. Faster publication times through online-prepublication, reference linking, forward linking and multimedia presentations will make the Handbook of Zoology highly attractive to both authors and users.

ARTHROPODA: INSECTA: COLEOPTERAVolume 3: Morphology and Systematics (Phytophaga)  

This book is the third volume in the Handbook of Zoology series which treats the systematics and biology of Coleoptera. With approximately 350,000 described species, Coleoptera are by far the most species-rich order of insects and the largest group of animals of comparable geological age. This third Coleoptera volume completes the Morphol-ogy and Systematics volumes with 43 chapters and covers one of the largest radiations of beetles, the mainly plant-feeding Phytophaga, with information on world distribution, biology, morphology and anatomy, phylogeny and comments on taxonomy.

AGGRESSION IN HUMANS AND OTHER PRIMATESBiology, Psychology, Sociology  

Aggression is a high profi le topic in social sci-ences, political science, psychology, philosophy, history and biology

Interdisciplinary approach  

In this work aggression and confl ict in man and other primates are interpreted in the light of evolu-tionary biology and game theory models. Unitl now interdisciplinary collaboration between the hu-manities and the natural sciences has been rare and hampered by different methodologies and terminol-ogy. Nevertheless, such cooperation is essential for elucidating the causes and consequences of aggression in humans and in explaining what shape aggression takes in particular situations. The aim of this volume is to present empirical and theoretical studies from biologists and social scientists to cre-ate an interdisciplinary framework for understand-ing aggression.

MALPRACTICE IN SURGERYSafety Culture and Quality Management in the Hospital

Transl. by Constantijn Blondel  

The intensive care units record 1.7 medical errors per patient and day. The most affected disciplines are the operative disciplines, particularly surgery. Medical errors mainly occur when the indication for surgery is being made, during surgery and post-surgery. Suspicious oncological diagnostic results and post-operative complications are also often ig-nored. This book deals with typical medical errors in surgery. It shows solutions and ways of dealing effectively with these errors and how to establish an effi cient security management system.

Rev by Detlev W. Belling, Christina Eberl-BorgesRed. Johannes Hager  

This new Staudinger volume, „Torts, Volume 3,“ includes a comprehensive presentation of the signifi cant attribution standards in tort law under § 830  (accessories and involved parties) and § 831 (liability for vicarious agents) of the German Civil Code. All of the important issues related to liability law are presented at the highest level of academic analysis, with a constant eye to practical relevance and under consideration of the latest literature and case law. As part of the commentary on § 832 of the German Civil Code, the discussion concerning liability for violations of supervisory duties has been expanded, especially with respect to public institutions. In the area of animal owners liability (§ 833 BGB), the commentary includes a consider-ation of newer animal uses, especially in the con-text of health care (e.g. horseback riding therapy). In this regard, it specifi cally discusses the liability privileges accorded to livestock owners under § 883, clause 2. The commentaries regarding § 835 constitute the most comprehensive treatment on

Rev by Karl-Heinz GurskyRed. Karl-Heinz Gursky  

The complex of norms surrounding “owner-pos-sessor relationships” (§§ 985-1003 BGB) as well as claims for “negatory injunctive relief and removal” (§ 1004 BGB) have been the subject of vibrant academic discussion as well as important German Supreme Court decisions. The revised edition of this trusted legal commentary undertakes a compre-hensive and critical assessment of the new material that has arisen in these areas of law. A host of new legal decisions were integrated into the commen-tary on § 1006 BGB (“Presumption of Ownership in Favor of the Possessor”). The discussion has also been expanded concerning § 1007 BGB, an aspect of law that continues to present great difficulties.

INTERNATIONALES PRIVATRECHT[Introduction to Private International Law]

Einleitung zum IPR

Rev by Gudrun Sturm, Fritz Sturm  

This new 2012 edition not only provides informa-tion about the current status and development of German private law. The strength of this volume is that, in addition, it goes far beyond the boundaries of Europe to offer a perspective on international legal systems. The book’s introduction to private international law includes legal sources from the major nations of the world. It also presents methods and models, trends and reforms, and indicates the developments that currently dominate conflict-of-law rules in other legal regimes.

STRAFGESETZBUCH. LEIPZIGER KOMMENTARGroßkommentar  

The Leipziger Kommentar has traditionally provided the most complete and comprehensive coverage of currently applicable German criminal law. Its strong reputation is traditionally based on a combination of academic and practice orientated commentary, with authors and contributors coming from both active legal practice and academia. The reader is provided with extensive coverage of a wide range of material incorporating origins, ques-tions of reform, comparative and related law and criminology, ensuring that the commentary helps to answer some more obscure questions not covered in competing works. The 12th edition appears in volumes, which makes it much more convenient to use. In order to make full use of modern technical facilities, when each volume appears the publishers will make the court decisions cited in the com-mentaries and footnotes with the source references in the offi cial reports and journals available in a supplementary DECISIONS REGISTER in chrono-logical order listed in accordance with the volume or year of the individual law reports or journals, but supplemented by the date and case reference of the cited decision. This solution appeared to the editors and publishers to be preferable to the comprehen-sive citation of court, source reference, date of the decision and case reference in the printed text, because it does not impair the readability of the explanations.

VVG[Insurance Contract Law]

Großkommentar zum Versicherungsvertragsgesetz

Founded by Ernst Bruck, Hans Möller  

The “Bruck/Möller” boasts the prominent standing of being the traditional commentary on insurance contract law. Its prestigious reputation is based, above all, on its scientifi cally grounded yet handson commentary. The latest edition holds especially true to this concept. This is most recognizable in the numerous conceptual reforms. In addition to the uniform structure of the individual commentaries, there are considerably more commentators and an increase in the number of individual volumes. Thus, the commentaries are produced by acknowledged experts and held ever up to date. In addition, the commentary will be made available online through cooperation with juris where up to date sup-ple-mentary information can be accessed.

Großkommentar

Founded by Bernhard Wiezcorek  

Now in its fourth edition, the Wieczorek/Schütze legal commentary is a virtual institution in the fi eld of civil procedure. This fourteen-volume guide once again sets the standard for legal refer-ence works. Based on solid legal scholarship, it comprehensively considers practical requirements and needs in relation to civil procedure. The authorial team, which is composed of 33 legal scholars and practitioners – including several new younger members – ensures that the commentary remains true to its rich traditions, but at the same time is up-to-date for current and future needs. In addition to German civil procedure, the com-mentary addresses relevant supplementary laws in Germany (e.g. EGZPO, GVG, KapMuG, and MediationsG), as well as European and interna-tional civil procedure. The commentary also takes into consideration relevant legal changes as well as the newest developments in case law and legal teaching.

RECHT DER ÄLTEREN[Elder Law]  

Unlike the USA with its „elder law“, German ju-risprudence has previously lacked a comprehensive survey of laws related to the aging of society. Given the social challenges related to the demographic aging, there was a clear need for a German „elder law“ – a collection and analysis of legal provisions that respond specifi cally to the needs of elderly individuals. A team of renowned experts provides extensive insights about all relevant questions in this area of law and offers an understandable pre-sentation of legal structures and areas of contention along with innovative approaches.

DAS GESETZ DER VR CHINA ÜBER DIE DELIKTISCHE HAFTUNG[Tort Law in the People’s Republic of China]  

This work provides a comprehensive analysis of the Tort Law of the People`s Republic of China. It examines the status quo of the discourse in the literature and provides specifi c illustrations of how general Tort principles such as causation, negli-gence and damages are applied in Chinese courts. Since the availability of Chinese case law is limited and many opinions lack reasoning, the volume analyses representative cases to provide a basic understanding of how Tort Law functions within the Chinese legal system.

DIE STRUKTUR DES INSOLVENZRECHTS IN DER BGH-RECHTSPRECHUNG[The Structure of Insolvency Law in the Rulings of the German Supreme Court]

2006-2011  

The ESUG (Law for the Further Facilitation of the Restructuring of Enterprises) has induced a profound change in insolvency law. The rulings of the German Supreme Court (BGH) have had a profound impact on the dogmatic content of the German Insolvency Act. The book goes on to ex-plain court interpretations (mostly by the Supreme Court) of the provisions of the German Insolvency Law that is still in force.

REFORM DES EUROPÄISCHEN FINANZAUFSICHTS-SYSTEMS ALS VORBILD FÜR OSTASIEN[Reform of the European System of Financial Oversight as a Model for East Asia]  

This work seeks to describe the role that actors in charge of fi nancial system oversight should play in the future to prevent a crisis similar to the current fi nancial crisis and – should prevention fail – to mitigate its effects. Against this backdrop, the work examines the role of supranational fi nancial super-vision as part of a regionally integrated fi nancial system.

NACHRICHTENLOSE KULTURGÜTER[Dormant Cultural Assets]  

Throughout the world, there are cultural assets held in government ownership and storage for which no owner has been determined. In Germany, as else-where, various circumstances can lead to a situation where cultural assets whose provenance cannot be determined end up in government custody. The present work is devoted to the examination of legal problems related to these so-called “dormant” cultural assets. The study specifi cally addresses transportable cultural assets held in government custody in Germany.

DAS NEUE DEUTSCHE STAATSSCHULDEN-RECHT IN DER BEWÄHRUNGSPROBE[The New German Law on Government Debt Put to the Test]

Vortrag, gehalten vor der Juristischen Gesellschaft zu Berlin am 8. Februar 2012  

The subject of government debt and laws designed to limit it has received intensive scrutiny since the collapse of the investment bank Lehman Brothers in September 2008 and the enactment of the Ger-man Federalism Reform II in July 2009. This new law, which has essentially been in effect since bud-getary year 2011, is awaiting juridical interpretation and trial in practice.

GRUNDRECHTS-SCHUTZ ZWISCHEN KARLSRUHE UND STRASSBURG[Protecting Fundamental Human Rights: Between Karlsruhe and Strasbourg]

Vortrag, gehalten vor der Juristischen Gesellschaft zu Berlin am 13. Juli 2011  

Protection of fundamental rights in Europe takes place in a tense balance between EU law, the Convention on Human Rights, and national constitutions. The author draws potential parallels to the relationship between the Federal Constitu-tional Court and the European Court of Justice, and proposes a dogmatic model for the complimentary protection of fundamental rights.

CHEFSACHE MANDAN-TENAKQUISITION[Successful Client Acquisition]

Erfolgreiche Akquisestrategien für Anwälte  

Oriented to daily legal practice A module-based reference work with how-to instructions

A strategy is defi ned and illustrated for each let-ter of the alphabet

Each chapter describes specifi c options for implementation and best-practice examples

The language is understandable and, at times, even a bit provocative

  

Attorneys need to function as entrepreneurs from the day they gain admittance to the bar. Yet lawyers do not learn about client acquisition during their studies, even though it is an essential part of their future career. Most attorneys experience client acquisition as time-consuming and complex, as contingent upon talent and chance, as a tedious obligation, or as a form of door-to-door salesman-ship. This volume provides a structured system for client acquisition that is subordinate to your fi rm’s objectives.

Examines § 32 b UrhG in contractual practice and legal relations

Explains the acceptance and enforcement of Ger-man court decisions in the USA

Explores the future of international copyright law and § 32 b UrhG

  

The signifi cance of § 32 b UrhG [German Copy-right Law] is especially apparent in relation to the USA. This is because the majority of international copyright licenses regulated by § 32 b UrhG take place between contractual parties in Germany and the USA. The present work investigates the factual and legal conditions under which § 32 b UrhG is effective in Germany and in the USA.
