Le projet phénoménologique, tel qu'il fut conçu par Edmund Husserl, se définit d'abord par le souci constant de dégager l'expérience intuitive au fondement de toute connaissance. Mais qu'est-ce que l'intuition originairement donatrice ? Quel est le sens fondamental de l'empirie phénoménologique ? Seule la réduction de tous les préjugés qui grèvent l'acception traditionnelle de l'intuition permet de redéployer son sens et corrélativement la consistance véritable du champ phénoménal. Mais si la réduction constitue donc la méthode d'un redéploiement de notre relation primordiale au monde, elle est aussi la voie tout au long de laquelle le phénomène manifeste une profondeur toujours accrue et qui n'est pas dépourvue d'ambiguïté. Qu'en est-il en définitive de notre évidence du monde ? Cet ouvrage tente d'apporter quelques éclaircissements à cette question dont l'urgence est encore soulignée par la forclusion dont la frappe aujourd'hui le relativisme ambiant.

In this original study, Siobhán McIlvanney examines the beginnings of the women’s press in France. Figurations of the Feminine is the first work in English to assess the most significant publications which make up this diverse, yet critically neglected, medium. It traces the evolving representations of womanhood that appear over the first ninety years of women’s journals in France. McIlvanney’s insightful readings demonstrate that these journals are often characterised by a remarkable degree of ‘feminist’ content. This refutes the general conception of the women’s press as an idealised, hyper-feminised space inhabited by the intellectually idle – whether in the form of readers or writers – disseminating and legitimating a limited range of patriarchal stereotypes and idées reçues. Through textual analyses of different ‘generic’ subsections, whether the literary journal, the fashion magazine, the domestic press or more explicitly politicised outputs, Figurations of the Feminine challenges the critical commonplaces which have been applied to the women’s press since its genesis, both in France and elsewhere. It demonstrates the political richness of this medium and the privileged perspectives it gives us on female self-expression and on the everyday lives of French women from across the class spectrum during this key historical period.

This open access book considers how inclusive learning, wellbeing and active citizenship can be encouraged, taught, learnt, and supported in a digital world. The book poses and seeks to address three questions: How can governments and intergovernmental organisations support learning inclusion and active citizenship? How can the education sector and public/private enterprises support learning inclusion and active citizenship? How can professionals and communities work with vulnerable adults who are disadvantaged in a participatory, empowering manner? The Examples discussed in the book draw on the experiences of adult refugees and migrants, as well as people who may experience disadvantage and/or discrimination as a result of their social, economic, political, cultural, religious, physical, mental, age or gender-related status. One methodological pillar in this work is the development of skills in digital storytelling and digital stories creation for personal, community and professional purposes. Conceptually and of interest for researcher and policy makers at local, national and transnational levels, this book brings together a number of related concepts to generate innovative understanding and practices of applied relevance in the age of the pandemic and its aftermath.

William Sharp (1855-1905) conducted one of the most audacious literary deceptions of his or any time. A Scottish poet, novelist, biographer, and editor, he began in 1893 to write critically and commercially successful books under the name Fiona Macleod who became far more than a pseudonym. Enlisting his sister to provide the Macleod handwriting, he used the voluminous Fiona correspondence to fashion a distinctive personality for a talented, but remote and publicity-shy woman. Sometimes she was his cousin and other times his lover, and whenever suspicions arose, he vehemently denied he was Fiona. For more than a decade he duped not only the general public but such literary luminaries as George Meredith, Thomas Hardy, Henry James, William Butler Yeats, and E. C. Stedman. Drawing extensively on his letters, his wife Elizabeth Sharp’s Memoir, and accounts by friends and associates, this biography provides a lucid and intimate account of William Sharp’s life, from his rejection of the dour religion of his Scottish boyhood, his turn to spiritualism, to his role in the Scottish Celtic Revival in the mid-nineties. The biography illuminates his wide network of close male and female friendships, through which he developed advanced ideas about the place of women in society, the constraints of marriage, the fluidity of gender identity, and the complexity of the human psyche. Uniquely this biography reveals the autobiographical content of the writings of Fiona Macleod, the remarkable extent to which Sharp used the feminine pseudonym to disguise his telling and retelling the complex story of his extramarital love affair with a beautiful and brilliant woman. The biography illuminates not only the talented and conflicted William Sharp, but also the cultural landscape of Great Britain in the late-nineteenth century. From late Pre-Raphaelitism through the ""yellow nineties” and on to the excesses of the early twentieth century, Sharp dabbled in all the movements that comprised what some have called the Age of Decadence.

Muss ökonomische Theorie evolutorisch sein, weil auch ihr Erkenntnisobjekt »wesensmäßig« evolutorisch ist? Der Tagungsband des Ausschusses für die Geschichte der Wirtschaftswissenschaften geht der dogmenhistorischen Einordnung des Themas »Ökonomie und Evolution« nach. Die Beiträge liefern einen Überblick zur Geschichte der Evolutionstheorie von der Zeit der Klassik bis in die Gegenwart und untersuchen die Bedeutung grundlegender biologischer Konzepte des evolutorischen Wandels für die ökonomische Entwicklung. Thematisiert werden der makroökonomische Strukturwandel, die Bedingungen für Entwicklungsbrüche und die Möglichkeiten einer evolutorischen Interpretation der Modelle des ›Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium‹. Die Entwicklungstheorie Schumpeters wird in den Kontext vitalistischer Ansätze in der Philosophie gestellt. Der normative Geltungsanspruch von Hayeks Theorie der Marktevolution wird aus der Perspektive einer liberalen politischen Theorie geprüft.»Economics and Evolution« This conference volume of the German Association on the History of Economic Thought gives a survey on the history of evolution theory, explores the importance of biological concepts for evolutionary change in economics, patterns of structural change, development traps, and suggests an evolutionary interpretation of modern equilibrium models. Further chapters cast a philosophical perspective on Schumpeter‘s theory of development und inspect normative claims of Hayek’s theory of market evolution.

Due to the growing demand for mobility (as a primary need for people to get to work, to obtain personal care or to go travelling), cities continue to be faced with new urban challenges. Stations represent, along mobility networks, not only transportation nodes (transfer points) but also architectural objects which connect an area to the city’s territorial plane and which have the potential to generate new urban dynamics. In the ‘compact city’ the station is simply no longer the space to access mobility networks, as informed by their dry pragmatism, but becomes an urban place of sociality and encounter - an extended public space beyond mobility itself. Which relationships and cross-fertilizations can be significant for the design of the future living stations in the Municipality of Rotterdam? How ought these stations to be conceived in order to act as public places for collective action? Which (archetypical) devices can be designed to give a shape to the ambitions for these stations? The station as a public space and catalyzer for urban interventions in the metropolitan area of Rotterdam is the focus of the research initiative presented in this publication. City of Innovations Project – Living Stations is organized around speculating and forecasting on future scenarios for the city of Rotterdam. ‘What is the future of Rotterdam with the arrival of a new metro circle line system?’ In the past fifty years, every decade of Rotterdam urban planning has seen its complementary metro strategy, with profound connections with the spatial planning and architectural themes. Considering the urban trends of densification and the new move to the city, a new complementary strategy is required. The plans to realize 50.000 new homes between the city center and the suburban residential districts in the next 20 years go together with the development of a new metro circle line consisting of 16 new stations; 6 of which will connect the new metro line to the existing network. Students of the elective City of Innovations Project (AR0109) have been asked to develop ambitious but plausible urban and architectural proposals for selected locations under the guidance of tutors from the Municipality of Rotterdam and Complex Projects. The Grand Paris Express metro project in France has inspired the course’s approach. Following the critical essays on the strategic role of the infrastructural project for city development interventions, the ‘10 Visions X 5 Locations’ chapter is a systematization of the work of 35 master’s students with input from designers of the City of Rotterdam and experts and academic from the University of Gustave Eiffel in Paris. The research-through-design process conducted in the City of Innovations project - Living Stations consists of documenting and analyzing the present urban conditions of selected station locations in the City of Rotterdam and proposing design solutions and visualizations of the predicted development of these locations.

Die Wissenschaftsauffassung von Bertalanffy erwächst aus der Kontroverse zwischen mechanistischen und vitalistischen Positionen in der Biologie. Der reduktionistischen Position steht ein metaphysischer Ganzheitsansatz gegenüber. Bertalanffy, sowohl fasziniert von den Verfahren objektiver Wissenschaft als auch überzeugt von der Notwendigkeit eines ganzheitlichen Ansatzes in den Lebenswissenschaften, entfaltete ein eigenes Verständnis von Ganzheitlichkeit auf einer wissenschaftlichen Grundlage: Ganzheit meint nun Organisation. Die Intentionen der klassischen Allgemeinen Systemtheorie können sich jedoch nur im interdisziplinären Kontext und im Zusammen der Prinzipien bewähren und weitergeführt werden. Eine umfassende kritische Einschätzung der Relevanz eines systemtheoretischen Imperativs als einer ganzheitlichen und wissenschaftlich fundierten Alternative oder Ergänzung zu der allgegenwärtigen reduktionistischen Wissenschaftspraxis steht noch am Anfang. Sicher ist: Sie wird den Arbeiten von Ludwig von Bertalanffy einen zentralen Stellenwert einräumen müssen.

Samuel Phelps (1804–1878) was an English actor and theater manager. In an era when performances of Shakespeare's works had been replaced with derived versions of themselves, Phelps became known for his exquisite productions of Shakespeare that were faithful to their original versions. Phelps revolutionized Shakespearean theatre when he took over management of Sadler's Wells Theatre and began showing productions of faithful reproductions. This is the definitive biography of the producer who brought the Shakespeare's original plays back to the forefront of theatre after over 100 years of derived versions. His exquisite reproductions revolutionized stage design and management. This is an especially important book for those interested in theatrical history and Shakespeare.

Thomas Morus 'Utopia' („Von der besten Staatsverfassung und von der neuen Insel Utopia, ein wahrhaft goldenes Büchlein, genauso wohltuend wie heiter“) (1516) ist ein Klassiker der Politischen Philosophie, der die spätere Tradition fiktiver Staatsmodelle prägte. Der Name bezeichnet ein ""Nirgendwo"", durch dessen Unauffindbarkeit alle Sehnsüchte in eine unerreichbare Ferne projiziert werden. Als Utopie gilt eine Vorstellung, die als Idee zwar denkbar, aber nicht unmittelbar umzusetzen ist. Der Band hinterfragt, mit welchen Chancen auf gesellschaftspolitische Diskussion heute überhaupt noch fiktive Staatsmodelle ausgearbeitet werden können.
