"Brexit and the Migrant Voice provides a platform for the perspectives of European citizens and migrants living and working in the UK by assessing their representation in British and European cultural productions (literature, drama, the media) and by foregrounding their attitudes, their fears, and their concerns about Brexit. The book looks at Brexit through the eyes of Britain's European citizens ('Europe in Britain'), while also looking at European perceptions of Britain as a nation ('Britain in Europe'), via a geographical journey-from West to East-across Europe. The book assesses how these countries, their citizens, and their cultural productions engage with the questions and challenges posed by Brexit. It brings together an exciting line-up of European academics and scholars, both early-career and well-established, from a variety of subject disciplines. Some live and work within UK Higher Education Institutions and thus look at Britain from within, while others reside within their countries of origin and look at Britain from the outside. Their chapters assess Brexit via a plethora of cultural outputs - Brexit fiction from their individual countries, opinion pieces, press discussions, but also narratives of compatriots affected by the UK's decision to leave the European Union. The authors' individual focal points on fiction, journalism, blog posts, theatre performances, and other cultural productions offer an innovative and comprehensive picture about thoughts on Brexit from around Europe that will fill an important gap in the market. This book will appeal to the academic market at undergraduate, postgraduate, and academic researcher level in a wide variety of disciplines including Literature, Politics and International Relations, European Studies, History, Cultural Studies, Sociology, and Media Studies"--

This timely volume addresses the rising interest in the role of religion in global issues worldwide. The ambitious Agenda 2030 and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) serve as the framework for this exploration, discussing questions such as: What role does religion play in poverty and poverty alleviation? How does religion inspire people in combatting gender inequality? What is religion's role in fueling conflict and which resources can religion offer for peace and reconciliation? Based on the conviction that not one single faith tradition or discipline can adequately address the complexity of current global issues, this book brings in the perspectives of different faith traditions and different disciplines. Combining cutting-edge research with case studies and concrete implications for academics, policymakers, and practitioners, this concise and easily accessible volume helps to build bridges between these different actors and their engagement. It serves as the introductory volume to the series, Religion Matters: On the Significance of Religion in Global Issues.

»Mulholland Drive« (2001) von David Lynch ist ein Filmklassiker und ein Stück Popkultur. Seine Attraktion beruht vor allem auf der bedeutungsoffenen und »verrätselnden« Erzählweise, welche Zuschauende zur Interpretation einlädt. Christine Lang legt in einer detaillierten Studie dar, wie sich diese Rezeptionsbeziehung realisiert. Sie analysiert die narrative Struktur und die ästhetischen Strategien mit Methoden und Begriffen der Dramaturgie und macht den Film und seine avancierte Erzählweise dadurch auch inhaltlich nachvollziehbar.

"The slow violence being inflicted on our environment-through everything from carbon emissions to plastic pollution-also represents an impending public health catastrophe. Yet standard healthcare practices are more concerned with short-term outcomes than long-term sustainability. Every resource used to deliver medical care, from IV tubes to antibiotics to electricity, has a significant environmental impact. This raises an urgent ethical dilemma: in striving to improve the health outcomes of individual patients, are we damaging human health on a global scale? In Dying Green, award-winning educator Christine Vatovec offers an engaging study that asks us to consider the broader environmental sustainability of healthcare. Through a comparative analysis of the care provided to terminally ill patients in a conventional cancer ward, a palliative care unit, and an acute-care hospice facility, she shows how decisions made at a patient's bedside govern the environmental footprint of the healthcare industry. Likewise, Dying Green offers insights on the many opportunities that exist for reducing the ecological impacts of medical practices in general, while also enhancing care for the dying in particular. By envisioning a more sustainable approach to care, this book offers a way forward that is better for both patients and the planet"--

The pandemic left disorder and crises in its wake everywhere it struck. Drawing on disciplines including public health, politics, and socioeconomics, this book tracks the spread of COVID-19 to weave a coherent picture that explains how scientists learnt about the virus, how authorities reacted around the world, and how different societies coped. Written by a leading team of public health, policy, and economics experts, this volume provides an in-depth analysis of various countries' responses to the onset of the pandemic, as well as suggestions to increase capacity and capability to fight future pandemics. The first part of the book provides an overview of global governance and international cooperation, economic and social consequences of the outbreak, and breakthroughs in mathematical modelling and COVID-19 vaccines. The second part of the book examines and compares specific countries and regions through the lens of good governance, social contract, and political trust. This book is essential for anyone seeking to learn from the impact of COVID-19, particularly professionals and policy-makers, as well as those with a general interest in governance and pandemics.

Das Jahrbuch des Dokumentationsarchivs des österreichischen Widerstandes (DÖW) untersucht seit 1986 alle Aspekte des Nationalsozialismus. Dieses Bemühen um Erforschung und Aufarbeitung bleibt immer fragmentarisch. Zu viele Zeug*innen haben nicht überlebt, Dokumente wurden vernichtet, Erinnerungen lange abgewehrt. Dem trägt das Jahrbuch 2023 mit dem Titel "Bruchstücke" Rechnung. Die präzisen Einblicke der einzelnen Beiträge fügen sich wie Splitter zu verschiedenen Themen in ein Mosaik: die Befragung von ehemaligen SS- und Wehrmachtsangehörigen durch einen Auschwitz-Überlebenden in den 1960er Jahren in Deutschland, private Filmaufnahmen aus dem Kriegsgefangenenlager Stalag XVII A, die Erinnerung an den bewaffneten Widerstand der Kärntner Partisan*innen, die Vertreibung eines Kinderstars der Operette aus Wien, das Schicksal der ersten von Wien ins besetzte Polen deportierten Juden, das tödliche Bombenattentat auf österreichische Roma 1995, Demokratiebildung und rechtsextreme Einstellungen in migrantischen Communities. Das Buch skizziert verschiedene historische und aktuelle Ansätze und Motivationen von Forschenden ebenso wie die digitale Umsetzung von Ergebnissen heute. ; Das Jahrbuch des Dokumentationsarchivs des österreichischen Widerstandes (DÖW) untersucht seit 1986 alle Aspekte des Nationalsozialismus.

"With a triadic perspective, this autoethnographic narrative explores the temporal, situated nature of interactions between the author as an adoptee with her adult adopted children as well as those between herself and her birth father and mother. The epiphanic adoptive family narratives that are foregrounded seek to deepen and challenge understanding of how kinship affinities are experienced. The autoethnographic narratives are written in a critical, evocative style which is valuable for two reasons. Firstly, the processes of reflexive self-introspection, self-observation and dialogue with relational others has established a critical connection, between recognising and responding to kinship affinities and personal growth. Secondly, lying at the intersection of the self and other this narrative contributes to deepening insights around epistemic in/justice in adoptive kinship. This book will be of interest to educators and scholars of adoption in offering an insider perspective on unique family relationships as well as how the author undertakes critical evocative autoethnography. Adoptees, adoptive parents, and birth parents will also find the narratives in Part II of this book of particular interest in informing an understanding of kin relationships and how these may be subject to change over time"--

Leben bedeutet: Wachsen und Sich-Entwickeln. Dabei stellen uns Lebensübergänge vor Herausforderungen. Wer sich auf diese Übergänge einlässt, lebt im Augenblick und kann neue Lebensenergien freisetzen. In dem Buch ermutigt Christine Behrens dazu, eigene Lebensspannen zu erkennen, zu verstehen und bewusst zu gestalten – insbesondere die Phasen des jungen Erwachsenenalters, der Lebensmitte und des Alters. Sie analysiert Entwicklungspotenziale wohltuend optimistisch – gerade in pessimistischen Zeiten. Dabei integriert sie die Konzepte der Transaktionsanalyse mit anderen Formaten und Methoden. Dieses Buch ist der ideale Begleiter im professionellen Beratungskontext wie auch in der Selbstreflexion und Persönlichkeitsentwicklung.

In this book, Christine Tappolet offers readers a thorough, wide-ranging, and highly accessible introduction to the philosophy of emotions. It covers recent interdisciplinary debates on the nature of emotions as well as standard theories of emotions, such as feeling theories, motivational theories, and evaluative theories. The book includes discussions of the alleged irrationality of emotions, and looks into the question of whether emotions could not, in some cases, contribute positively to theoretical and practical rationality. In addition, the role of emotions in the theory of virtues and the theory of values receives a detailed treatment. Finally, the book turns to the question of how we can regulate and even educate our emotions by engaging with music and with narrative art. The overall picture of emotions that emerges is one that does justice to the central role that emotions play in our lives, conceiving of emotions as crucial to our grasp of values. As an opinionated introduction, the book doesn't pretend to be neutral but aims to engage readers in contemporary debates. Each chapter closes with questions for further discussion and suggestions for further reading. Key Features: Written for advanced undergraduates, suitable as the main text in a philosophy of emotion course or as a complement to a set of primary readings Includes useful features for student readers like introductions, study questions, and suggestions for further reading in each chapter Considers whether emotions interfere with our reasoning or whether they can, in some cases, help us to be more rational Argues against basic emotion theory and social constructionism that emotions are both shaped by biological forces and social forces Discusses a variety of subjectivist and objectivist approaches, which share the assumption thatemotions and values are closely connected.
