Nachdem das deutschsprachige Antikendrama im 19. Jahrhundert nur eine untergeordnete Bedeutung besaß, kommt es nach 1890 unter dem Eindruck von Friedrich Nietzsches Geburt der Tragödie erneut zu einer intensive Beschäftigung mit Themen und Figurationen der griechischen Antike. Die vorliegende Studie unterzieht Antikendramen von Hofmannsthal, Hauptmann, Werfel, Pannwitz, Jahnn und Brecht einer struktur- und gattungsbezogenen Analyse, um die Verschiebungen des den Texten zugrundeliegenden Mythosverstandnisses im Kontext von Werk und Epoche zu spezifizieren. Der Versuch, mit den Mitteln des Dramas in den Bereich des Mythischen vorzudringen, führt letztendlich zur szenischen Restitution archaischer Praktiken wie Opferritual und kollektives Entgrenzungserlebnis. Damit ergibt sich die Schwierigkeit, „das Zerbrechen des Individuums und sein Einswerden mit dem Ursein" (Nietzsche) mit den Mitteln des Theaters vorzufuhren, mit anderen Worten: das Nichtinszenierbare zu inszenieren.

Neuropathies are one of the main neurological problems in everyday life, and they still have many partially understood parts and unknowns both for physicians and patients. Many systemic conditions may exist within them and therefore they may be difficult to treat. In this book we provide current knowledge concerning neuropathies, which we believe you will find interesting. The subject ‘’neuropathies’’ comprises a number of topics, and each and every one could be the subject of a textbook. On the other hand, this book was never designed as one. This book should be read without prejudgment because the content may not be compatible with general but repeated assumptions and guidelines. However, I believe that the book may be an inspiration for many young investigators as well. It contains current approaches and knowledge and we sincerely believe and hope that it will answer your queries regarding new perspectives about neuropathy in general.

Een progressief voorstel voor het landbouwbeleid van morgen De vurige debatten rond de stikstofproblematiek, de droogte, het biodiversiteitsverlies, de seizoensarbeid en de overmatige vleesproductie en -consumptie hebben landbouw weer helemaal op de maatschappelijke en politieke agenda gezet. De vraag dringt zich stilaan op of we in Vlaanderen en Europa effectief nog op een duurzame en economisch rendabele manier aan landbouw kunnen doen en hoe die landbouw dan vorm moet krijgen. Het huidige debat is echter sterk polariserend: landbouw versus ecologie, vermarkting versus subsistentie, schaalvergroting versus familiebedrijven, comparatieve voordelen en specialisatie versus diversiteit, enzovoort. Polariserende discussies brengen helaas zelden antwoorden. Dit boek wil daarom de klassieke tegenstellingen doorbreken. Verschillende experts laten de breuklijn tussen ecologie en landbouw achter zich en formuleren aanbevelingen voor een progressief landbouwbeleid. Hoewel elk individueel hoofdstuk oplossingen biedt voor een deelaspect van landbouw, ligt de kracht van dit boek net in de oproep om ad-hocmaatregelen achterwege te laten en te werken aan een coherent landbouwplan. De complexiteit van ons huidig landbouwbeleid heeft nood aan een coherent landbouwplan. Dit boek neemt het initiatief om hiertoe een progressief voorstel te lanceren.

How can (radical) democracy be taught, learned and experienced? How can theory and practice be united? At Bielefeld University, these questions were put to the test in a threefold democratic seminar experiment. This anthology documents the experiences and reflections of the participants and thus provides a multi-layered insight into the potential and obstacles of radical democratic pedagogy and subjectivation from direct practice. It offers a wealth of experience that can enrich both pedagogical and political theory and practice.

The concept of ethnicity, once in vogue, has largely gone out of fashion among twenty-first-century social scientists, now replaced by models of assimilation defined in terms of the construction of whiteness and white supremacy. Beyond Whiteness: Revisiting Jews in Ethnic America explores the benefits of reconfiguring the ethnic concept as a tool to analyze the experiences of twentieth-century American Jews—not only in relation to other “white” groups of European descent, but also African Americans and Asian Americans, among others. The essays presented here, ranging from comparative studies of Jews and Asians as “model minorities” to the examination of postethnic “Jews of color,” demonstrate that expanding ethnicity beyond the traditional Eurocentric frame can yield fresh insights into the character of Jewish life in the modern United States.

Translation is in motion. Both translation practice and translation studies (TS) have seen considerable innovation in recent decades, and we are currently witnessing a wealth of new approaches and concepts, some of which refect new translation phenomena, whereas others mirror new scholarly foci. Volunteer translation, crowdsourcing, virtual translator networks, transediting, and translanguaging are only some examples of practices and notions that are emerging on the scene alongside a renewed focus on well-established concepts that have traditionally been considered peripheral to the practice and study of translation: intralingual and intersemiotic translation are cases in point. At the same time, technological innovation and global developments such as the spread of English as a lingua franca are affecting wide areas of translation and, with it, translation studies. These trends are currently pushing or even crossing our traditional understandings of translation (studies) and its boundaries. The question is: how to deal with these developments? Some areas of the translation profession seem to respond by widening its borders, adding new practices such as technical writing, localisation, transcreation, or post-editing to their job portfolios, whereas others seem to be closing ranks. The same trend can be observed in the academic discipline: some branches of translation studies are eager to embrace all new developments under the TS umbrella, whereas others tend to dismiss (some of) them as irrelevant or as merely refecting new names for age-old practices. Translation is in motion. Technological developments, digitalisation and globalisation are among the many factors affecting and changing translation and, with it, translation studies. Moving Boundaries in Translation Studies offers a bird’s-eye view of recent developments and discusses their implications for the boundaries of the discipline. With 15 chapters written by leading translation scholars from around the world, the book analyses new translation phenomena, new practices and tools, new forms of organisation, new concepts and names as well as new scholarly approaches and methods. This is key reading for scholars, researchers and advanced students of translation and interpreting studies.

Dès 1791 Condorcet défend avec fougue « l’instruction en commun des deux sexes » comme mesure démocratique – mais il ne sera pas écouté. Neuf décennies plus tard, les Républicains choisissent la non-mixité lorsqu’ils créent l’enseignement secondaire public des jeunes filles. Malgré la diffusion de la coéducation aux États-Unis et ailleurs, la mixité à la fin du XIXe siècle reste une utopie en France. Il faut attendre 1976 pour que la mixité se généralise à tous les degrés de l’enseignement, s...

Automated facial recognition algorithms are increasingly intervening in society. This book offers a unique analysis of these algorithms from a critical visual culture studies perspective. The first part of this study examines the example of an early facial recognition algorithm called »eigenface« and traces a history of the merging of statistics and vision. The second part addresses contemporary artistic engagements with facial recognition technology in the work of Thomas Ruff, Zach Blas, and Trevor Paglen. This book argues that we must take a closer look at the technology of automated facial recognition and claims that its forms of representation are embedded with visual politics. Even more significantly, this technology is redefining what it means to see and be seen in the contemporary world.

À partir d’une base documentaire abondante, près de 3000 actes notariés, dix-neuf livres d’estimes, des registres de reconnaissances et des listes d’aveux et dénombrements, traitée par l’informatique, Marie-Claude Marandet dresse un tableau des campagnes du Lauragais entre 1380 et 1520. On y découvre les productions agricoles du temps, la structure et les contrastes des images, la variété des paysages, l’allure et la diversité des constructions, les modalités du peuplement, la répartition de la propriété, les types de faire-valoir, la portée de l’emprise seigneuriale, la dynamique qui assure la prospérité relative de la région dans une époque de crises. Ce livre marque un retour utile à l’histoire des campagnes, qui sont au Moyen Âge - et pour longtemps encore - le fondement principal de l’économie et de la société.

For the geomorphological study of the coast, there is now a great number of available methods for remote detection, including satellite images or aerial photogrammetry, as well as other methods closer to land, in which geodesic–topographic, on-land photogrammetry, UAV, lidar, and TLS techniques are utilized. Depending on the methodology, precisions can vary from metric to millimetric. Studies in emerging sectors are often linked to underwater dynamics, sedimentation, and morphology.
