À l’heure où l’histoire s’écrit au niveau « mondial », « global » ou encore « transnational », il est indispensable de faire de même en histoire de l’art, en construisant un récit qui ne soit pas centré sur le monde occidental mais qui, au contraire, considère toutes les œuvres à parts égales, dans le temps et dans l’espace. Or, une telle exigence requiert une connaissance à la fois encyclopédique et fine des productions artistiques. Face à l’impossibilité de maîtriser toutes les langues et toutes les cultures, l’ambition d’une « histoire globale de l’art » peut apparaître comme une entreprise démesurée, donc vaine. Au grand récit simplificateur, cet ouvrage préfère la modestie du fragment. Il s’appuie ainsi sur l’analyse intime de cinquante œuvres d’horizons divers, choisies pour leur caractère « hybride », et il esquisse, par petites touches, une histoire décentrée des productions artistiques du XVIe siècle à nos jours, des beaux-arts au cinéma, en passant par les arts décoratifs et l’architecture.

Este libro constituye en sí mismo un acto de traducción cultural entre asiáticas, latinoamericanas y caribeñas. Es, al mismo tiempo, una posibilidad de sanar las propias "cicatrices coloniales" que nos habitan, como las experiencias sororas de las autoras como articuladoras de dos mundos. Fue escrito según la imagen del puente, inspiradas en los coceptos de He y "Buen Vivir", con el deseo de edificar los cimientos de una arquitectura femenina que intenta des-otrificar las relaciones de poder entre Occidente y Oriente basadas "retóricas salvacionistas" y versiones estereotipadas de las mujeres que habitan el Sur Global. Aporta la comprensión de las discusiones sobre colonialidad y género a partir de las narrativas de escritoras de minorías etnicas originarias y artísticas visuales de ambos lados del mundo. Deslenguadas, sus voces plasmadas en poemas, literaturas étnicas, performances, muestran la vitalidad de las experiencias de colonialidad.

The German-Danish War of 1864 has been extensively investigated in the literature -as far as the major political and military events are concerned. The civilian population, the civil administration and the national movements during the war, as well as the economic consequences and the formation of identities after the war, have been more or less neglected. In order to change this, German and Danish historians have written this book. It is the result of a German-Danish conference organized by the the federal state archives in Schleswig and Aabenraa.

Die Automobil- und Zulieferbranche in Deutschland befindet sich in einem tiefgreifenden Wandel, geprägt durch Digitalisierung, neue Antriebstechnologien und veränderte Produktionsprozesse. Diese Transformation eröffnet nicht nur neue wirtschaftliche Perspektiven, sondern verändert auch die Tätigkeiten, Beschäftigungsstrukturen und Qualifikationsbedarfe in den Unternehmen. Für kleine und mittlere Unternehmen (KMU) ist es eine besondere Herausforderung, Transformationsprozesse mit begrenzten Ressourcen strategisch zu planen und umzusetzen. Häufig fehlen systematische Ansätze und Ideen, wie das abstrakte Thema Transformation durch niedrigschwellige, wirkungsvolle Projekte greifbar gemacht werden kann. Deshalb zeigt der vorliegende Leitfaden praxisnahe Wege auf, wie Weiterbildung in KMU gezielt eingesetzt werden kann, um Transformationsprozesse erfolgreich zu gestalten. Eine zentrale Rolle kommt dabei den Führungskräften zu: Sie erkennen Qualifikationsbedarfe, initiieren Weiterbildungsmaßnahmen, binden Mitarbeitende ein und begleiten Veränderungsprozesse aktiv. Grundlage des Leitfadens sind Erkenntnisse aus dem Projekt transform.by, in dem Qualifizierungsmaßnahmen gemeinsam mit KMU entwickelt und erprobt wurden.

The book ''Applied Studies of Coastal and Marine Environments'' is a collection of a number of high-quality and comprehensive work on coastal and marine environment.

What do undocumented migrants experience when they try to access healthcare? How do they navigate the (often contradictory) challenges presented by bureaucratic systems, financial pressures, attitudes to migrants, and their own healthcare needs? This urgent study uses a grounded theory approach to explore the ways in which undocumented migrants are included in or excluded from healthcare in a Swiss region. Marianne Jossen explores the ways migrants try to obtain healthcare on their own, with the help of NGOs or via insurance, and how they cope if they fail, whether by using risky strategies to access healthcare or leaving serious health issues untreated. Jossen shows that even for those who succeed, inclusion remains partial and fraught with risks. Based on interviews with migrants, health practitioners and NGO staff and using a rigorous academic approach, Undocumented Migrants and Healthcare is an important contribution to a vital contemporary issue. It is necessary reading for researchers in Public Health and Migration Studies, as well as government and non-governmental organisations in Switzerland and beyond. It will be of interest to anyone concerned with healthcare and migration in the twenty-first century.

Die Geschichte des Kinos ist fundamental von der Ästhetik der Beleuchtung geprägt. In exemplarischen Einzelstudien analysiert Denis Grünemeier das faszinierende Wechselspiel von Licht und Schatten im Film. Dabei zeigt er eindrucksvoll durch die methodische Verknüpfung von Filmwissenschaft, Kunstgeschichte und Bildtheorie, dass Licht und Schatten über die Technik und Form hinaus wesentlich die Essenz und den Inhalt des Films bestimmen. Neben bekannten Regisseuren wie Kubrick, Murnau und Carlos Reygadas sind es die ausgewählten experimentellen Arbeiten Derek Jarmans und die Animationen der Quay Brothers, die den innovativen Status dieser Studie untermauern.

Originally published in 1961. The Reason, the Understanding, and Time is concerned with the history of the conceptions of reason, ego, time, and other related concepts that enjoyed a great vogue and influence in German philosophy in the last decades of the eighteenth century and the early decades of the nineteenth century. Kant's influence on and relevance to the development of later German epistemology is traced, as is the impact of those ideas on the Transcendentalist movements in England and America as represented by Coleridge, Carlyle, and Emerson. The significance of Jacobi's philosophy, hitherto not fully appreciated by historians, is demonstrated as well as the contribution of the young Schelling. By examining Bergson's letters, Lovejoy throws new light on Bergson's concept of time. Lovejoy's philosophical interpretation is a model of penetrating insight and helpful criticism.

Management strategies are framed within a multidisciplinary team structure and as such a range of specialists ranging from psychologists, specialist nurses, gynaecologists and urologists author the chapters. There are some novel methods outlined by the authors with their clinical application and utility described in detail, along with exhaustive research on epidemiology, which is particularly relevant in planning for the future.

Albert Thibaudet (1874-1936) est le critique littéraire de La Nouvelle Revue Française dans l’entre-deux-guerres, l’auteur de La République des Professeurs et d’une fameuse Histoire de la littérature française. René Rémond voit en lui le fondateur de l’histoire des idées politiques. Titulaire d’une chronique enviée à La NRF, il se tient en dehors de son cercle. Héritier, il vit comme un boursier. Humaniste à la culture encyclopédique, c’est un gourmand et un gourmet. Disciple de Bergson, il analyse aussi finement le radicalisme que le traditionalisme de Barrès ou de Maurras. Enraciné dans sa Bourgogne natale, il est ouvert à bien des cultures. « Poilu de l’arrière » pacifique et patriote, il devient un européiste convaincu et un observateur non engagé de la vie politique et intellectuelle de la Troisième République. Fondée sur de nombreux articles et livres, de multiples correspondances et des inédits, cette biographie intellectuelle s’attache à montrer les divers aspects et apports d’un homme singulier, dont l’œuvre fragmentée est aussi célèbre par quelques formules que méconnue dans sa richesse et sa diversité. Thibaudet, liseur professionnel, parce qu’il est un extraordinaire agent de liaison entre littérature, histoire et philosophie, est aussi un jalon du renouveau de l’histoire politique et culturelle.

The here collected contributions relating to the 46th International Conference of the Representation Disciplines Teachers, organized jointly by Sapienza University of Rome, Roma Tre University, and San Raffaele Roma University, aim to offer the scientific community a reflection on the theoretical and methodological aspects related to the concept of èkphrasis, a term that, in the field of representation, concerns descriptive, analogical, and digital activities that generate new knowledge in several areas of application. The Conference aims to place at the center of the discussion an interpretation of the concept of research that, without neglecting an idea of study, protection, and enhancement of environmental and cultural heritage, focuses on the needs of contemporary society and its possible developments, making use of innovative theoretical, methodological, and operational activities, including those characterized by an interdisciplinary approach. According to this interpretation, research can also be seen as a foreshadowing of the definition and testing of experimental proposals aimed at exploring new areas of investigation: this opens up imaginative and utopian perspectives in the relationship between the sciences, the arts, and the disciplines that contribute to common goals, through the experimentation of methods, techniques, and languages for conceiving, prefiguring, designing, and representing.

The relation between art and philosophy is highly precarious. To explore this complex connection, the contributors to this volume have structured their texts around key questions such as: What image of thought emerges when artistic practices are integrated into philosophical research? How does the conceptual personae of philosophers change when they become artist-philosophers? And how do writing and working methods shift when crossing the boundaries between art and philosophy? This approach opens up a holistic perspective on strategies, methodologies, and concrete examples of writing and reading by philosopher-artists and artistic researchers who strive toward a genuine crossover between art and philosophy.
