        Peace and the politics of memory

        by Annika Björkdahl, Susanne Buckley-Zistel, Stefanie Kappler, Johanna Mannergren Selimovic, Timothy Williams

        This important book provides new understandings of how the politics of memory impacts peace in societies transitioning from a violent past. It does so by developing a theoretical approach focusing on the intersection of sites, agency, narratives, and events in memory-making. Drawing on rich empirical studies of mnemonic formations in Cyprus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Rwanda, South Africa and Cambodia, the book speaks to a broad audience. The in-depth, cross-case analysis shows that inclusivity, pluralism, and dignity in memory politics are key to the construction of a just peace. The book contributes crucial and timely knowledge about societies that grapple with the painful legacies of the past and advances the study of memory and peace.

        Forty Years of Stage Life -- Mei Lanfang's Statement

        by Mei Lanfang ,Mei Lanfang Memorial Hall

        Mei Lanfang's surviving literature amounts to more than 6 million words. Forty Years of Stage Life is the core of his works. It is a self-description of Mr. Mei Lanfang's life. It is the most convenient and reliable way to approach the master and understand his artistic life. The previous editions of the book were arranged according to the published versions under certain historical conditions. This is the first time for Mei Lanfang Memorial Hall to arrange the book according to the original manuscript, which is an original publication returning to the master's original intention based on the accumulation of long-term academic research and the revision of new materials. A large number of pictures of Mei Lanfang's stage performances, artistic creations and reports will be added to the book, as well as some hand-drawn illustrations restoring historical situations, in an effort to show and reproduce the radiance and splendor of the master artist and his unparalleled artistic life in a more comprehensive, full, real and beautiful way.

        Feline Reproduction

        by Aime Johnson, Michelle Kutzler

Beginning with basic anatomy and normal reproduction, it goes on to cover practical knowledge about pregnancy, neonatal care, breeding soundness exams, and semen cryopreservation. It also includes an overview of factors, diseases, and abnormal conditions affecting reproduction, such as infertility, causes of abortion and contraception. Covering both pet patients and nondomestic species, this book provides a thorough grounding in feline reproduction for the general veterinary practitioner, veterinary student, animal scientist, and experienced cat breeder.

        Die Fabrikation von Erkenntnis

        Zur Anthropologie der Wissenschaft | 50 Jahre stw – Limitierte Jubiläumsausgabe

        by Karin Knorr Cetina, Rom Harré

        Wie entsteht eine wissenschaftliche Tatsache? Wie stellt sich naturwissenschaftliche Kreativität dar, wenn man sie im Labor des Naturwissenschaftlers beobachtet? Wie verhält sich die handwerkliche Arbeit der Forscherin zu dem, was im veröffentlichten wissenschaftlichen Text steht? Karin Knorr Cetina geht durch das Labor mit den Augen einer Anthropologin, die die Sitten und Gebräuche einer fremden Ethnie mit der Distanz, aber auch der Sympathie des Mitglieds einer anderen Kultur studiert. Dabei zeigt sich, dass man das Unternehmen Wissenschaft mit idealisierten epistemologischen Begriffen nicht besonders gut zu fassen bekommt. Es muss vielmehr aus der Alltagswelt wissenschaftlicher Handarbeit rekonstruiert werden. Ein Klassiker der Wissenschaftssoziologie.

        Graveyard Gothic

        by Eric Parisot, David McAllister, Xavier Aldana Reyes

        Graveyard Gothic is the first sustained consideration of the graveyard as a key Gothic locale. This volume examines various iterations of the Gothic graveyard (and other burial sites) from the eighteenth century to the twenty-first, as expressed in numerous forms of culture and media including poetry, fiction, TV, film and video games. The volume also extends its geographic scope beyond British traditions to accommodate multiple cultural perspectives, including those from the US, Mexico, Japan, Australia, India and Eastern Europe. The seventeen chapters from key international Gothic scholars engage a range of theoretical frameworks, including the historical, material, colonial, political and religious. With a critical introduction offering a platform for further scholarship and a coda mapping potential future critical and cultural developments, Graveyard Gothic is a landmark volume defining a new area of Gothic studies.
