A history of legal emotions in William Blackstone’s England and their relationship to justice William Blackstone’s masterpiece, Commentaries on the Laws of England (1765–1769), famously took the “ungodly jumble” of English law and transformed it into an elegant and easily transportable four-volume summary. Soon after publication, the work became an international monument not only to English law, but to universal English concepts of justice and what Blackstone called “the immutable laws of good and evil.” Most legal historians regard the Commentaries as a brilliant application of Enlightenment reasoning to English legal history. Loving Justice contends that Blackstone’s work extends beyond making sense of English law to invoke emotions such as desire, disgust, sadness, embarrassment, terror, tenderness, and happiness. By enlisting an affective aesthetics to represent English law as just, Blackstone created an evocative poetics of justice whose influence persists across the Western world. In doing so, he encouraged readers to feel as much as reason their way to justice. Ultimately, Temple argues that the Commentaries offers a complex map of our affective relationship to juridical culture, one that illuminates both individual and communal understandings of our search for justice, and is crucial for understanding both justice and injustice today.

The idea that China’s economy needs to rebalance is no longer controversial inside or outside the country. Whether it be the increasing recognition of income

Good inclusive teaching needs teachers who are able to plan and implement pedagogical offers in a heterogeneity-sensitive and adaptive way - however, in university teacher training there are only a few subject-didactically implementable contents for this so far. This book presents five flexibly applicable teaching-learning modules on central topics of inclusive teaching, which were developed by subject didacticians in cooperation with rehabilitation scientists and language educators for university teaching. Starting from the theoretical foundations, the structure, content and materials of the individual teaching-learning modules are presented and commented on didactically. Following on from this, the empirical results of the quantitative and qualitative accompanying evaluation of corresponding courses are analysed. In addition, the suitability of the teaching-learning modules for stabilisation in the university context as well as their possible use in the second and third phase of teacher training are discussed. This book aims to motivate lecturers to use the presented modules in their teaching. It is also aimed at students, researchers and teachers who want to develop their teaching in an inclusive way.

This volume offers a linguistic analysis of the Book of Leviticus from the so-called Gözleve Bible (1841), a printed Crimean Karaim Bible translation penned in Hebrew script. Crimean Karaim, and thus the language of this edition, displays mixed characteristics, sparking scholarly debate. Alongside the showcasing and discussion of such linguistic attributes, the study also provides a transcription, translation, and facsimile of the original text.

Die Covid-19-Pandemie und die ökologischen Krisen haben in den vergangenen Jahren eindrucksvoll die tiefgreifende Verwobenheit von Natur, Technologie und Gesellschaft verdeutlicht. Vor diesem Hintergrund machen die Beiträge dieses Bandes das Verhältnis von Natur und Kultur, Diskurs und Materialität zum Gegenstand sozialwissenschaftlicher Reflexionen. Orientiert an der Machtanalytik Michel Foucaults, Ansätzen der Wissenschafts- und Technikforschung sowie feministischen und postkolonialen Debatten gehen die Autor:innen der Frage nach, was Leben und dessen Regierung im 21. Jahrhundert ausmacht. Sie beleuchten anhand einer Vielzahl empirischer Phänomene die mannigfaltigen Zugriffe, Durchdrungenheiten und Artikulationen regierten Lebens. Dabei bringt der Band internationale Diskussionen um menschliches und »mehr-als-menschliches« Leben in einen produktiven Dialog mit Traditionslinien kritischer Theorie. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/

This open access contributed volume examines the ethical and legal foundations of (future) policies on recommender systems and offers a transdisciplinary approach to tackle important issues related to their development, use and integration into online eco-systems. This volume scrutinizes the values driving automated recommendations - what is important for an individual receiving the recommendation, the company on which that platform was received, and society at large might diverge. The volume addresses concerns about manipulation of individuals and risks for personal autonomy. From a legal perspective, the volume offers a much-needed evaluation of regulatory needs and lawmakers’ answers in various legal disciplines. The focus is on European Union measures of platform regulation, consumer protection and anti-discrimination law. The volume will be of particular interest to the community of legal scholars dealing with platform regulation and algorithmic decision making. By including specific use cases, the volume also exposes pitfalls associated with current models of regulation. Beyond the juxtaposition of purely ethical and legal perspectives, the volume contains truly interdisciplinary work on various aspects of recommender systems.

Übergänge aus Pflegefamilien ins Erwachsenenleben unterscheiden sich von dem Leaving Care aus Jugendwohngruppen/betreuten Wohnformen. Die Ablösung aus einer privaten, familienanalogen Vollzeitpflege wirft besondere Fragen der sozialen Zugehörigkeit im Anschluss an die Hilfe auf. In dem Buch werden Forschungsergebnisse aufbereitet, die Erfahrungen aus Sicht von Care Leaver*innen sowie von Pflegeeltern aufzeigen und systematisieren. In Anlehnung an das Konzept des Doing Family wird der Übergang in ein eigenständiges Leben als eine gemeinsame soziale Herstellungsleistung analysiert. Dieses Doing Leaving Foster Family wird von der Situation und der Qualität der Beziehungen während des Pflegeverhältnisses geprägt. Dabei werden auch die weiteren Entwicklungen nach dem Hilfeende betrachtet.

The contribution illustrates the relations maintained by the University of Florence with the world of spectacle by the professors of the History of Cinema, Music, Theater and Dance courses. Particularly highlighted are the fruitful relationships with the most important artistic institutions in the Florentine area, such as the Fondazione Sistema Toscana, the Fondazione Teatro del Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, theFondazione Teatro della Toscana, the Centro Nazionale di Produzione della Danza "Virgilio Sieni," and the Fondazione Fabbrica Europa, declined both in terms of educational collaboration and in the creation of cultural events. Also relevant are the activities of the Compagnia Teatrale Universitaria Binario di Scambio, active at the Polo Universitario of Prato.

In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird ein bisher wenig erforschtes Problem der slavischen Syntax - die Struktur des altbulgarischen zusammengesetzten Nominalprädikats - untersucht.

Die Nachbetreuung der Sozialpädagogischen Familienhilfe (SPFH) wird bereits seit den frühen Publikationen zur SPFH diskutiert und ist auch heute Bestandteil von Praxiskonzepten. Ihr Bedarf wird jedoch überwiegend aus Expert*innensicht begründet. Die Perspektive der Nutzer*innen wurde bislang kaum erforscht. In der vorliegenden Untersuchung kommen die Familienmitglieder, die eine SPFH erhalten und eine systematische Nachbetreuung erlebt haben, selbst zu Wort. Im Fokus stehen ihre Erfahrungen und Einschätzungen. Gänzlich nachvollziehbar werden diese jedoch erst vor dem Hintergrund der erlebten Hilfeverläufe, deren Rekonstruktion daher ebenfalls eine wichtige Rolle zukommt.

Edith Wharton was not only the author of novels and short stories but also of drama, poetry, autobiography, interior decoration, and travel writing. This study focuses on Wharton’s symbolic representations of architecture in her travel writings. It shows how a network of allusions to travel writing and art history books influenced Wharton’s representations of architectural and natural spaces. The book demonstrates Wharton’s complex relationship to works of art historians (John Ruskin, Émile Mâle, Arthur C. Porter) and travel authors (Wolfgang Goethe, Henry Adams, Henry James) in the trajectory of her travel writing. Kovács surveys how the acknowledgment of Wharton’s sources sheds light both on the author’s model of aesthetic understanding and scenic architectural descriptions, and how the shock of the Great War changed Wharton’s travel destinations but not her symbolic view of architecture as a mediator of things past. Wharton’s symbolic representations of architecture provide a new key to her travel writings.

In den kinder- und jugendpsychiatrischen Kliniken werden durch Schulen, schulpsychologische Dienste, Jugendämter und Polizei immer mehr Kinder und Jugendliche vorgestellt, um deren Gefährdungspotenzial professionell einschätzen zu lassen. Vor diesem Hintergrund, aber auch in Anbetracht der dramatischen Amokereignisse in Erfurt, Emsdetten und Winnenden, gibt das Buch einen Überblick über die neuesten interdisziplinären Forschungserkenntnisse sowie Erklärungsversuche der spezifischen Dynamik und vermittelt die Behandlungskonzepte und Ansätze zur Prävention. Dabei verfolgt der Autor den Grundsatz, dass nur ein interdisziplinärer Ansatz und die Synopse der verschiedenen Aspekte aus einer entwicklungspsychologischen, tiefenpsychologischen, einer systemischen, neurobiologischen und soziologischen Sicht der komplexen Thematik zum Verständnis der Dynamik gerecht werden kann.

With the end of the First World War, the defeat of the German Empire, was sealed in November 1918. Even after the end of the subsequent revolutionary phase, political conditions in Hamburg remain unstable. On the one hand, they were marked by militant clashes between radical groups; on the other hand, hunger and misery continued to dominate the everyday life of the population. This was the breeding ground for a short section of the history of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg, which had not received much attention so far: the "Aspic Riots" or "Hunger Riots" (Sülze- oder Hungerunruhen) .They broke out in the city at the end of June 1919.The discovery of scandalous production and processing methods of a jelly manufacturer led to turmoil throughout the city. These civil war-like conditions, which lasted only a few days, were the reason for the invasion of the Reichswehr troops under General Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck. The background, process and effects of the "hunger riots" are examined and presented in this paper.

Поэзия – сфера свободного словесного творчества. Тем не менее, поэт должен придерживаться каких-то языковых норм. Механизмы внутренней речи, преобразования смысла и эмоций в текст получают в книге лингвистическую интерпретацию. Материалом для наблюдений и выводов служит русская поэзия, в основном ХХ века (Б. Пастернак, О. Мандельштам, М. Цветаева, Б. Окуджава, Ю. Левитанский, А. Кушнер и др.).

This book explores the relationship between imperial formations and individual encounters at African tourist sites – spaces of leisure, healing and work. It examines how encounters between tourists and hosts tend to be constructed along colonial thought lines and considers how players in the hospitality industry do not interact as coeval participants, but are racialised, scripted and positioned according to colonially-established order. The authors focus on the language of these encounters, not only speech, performance and response, but also silence, resonance, emptiness, noise – objectified, materialised, evasive and confusing. Through its exploration of language in these encounters, the volume shows that ruination is the one feature that is omnipresent in the multiple and diverse tourist settings of the postcolonial world.
