        Die große Regression

        Eine internationale Debatte über die geistige Situation der Zeit

        by Arjun Appadurai, Zygmunt Bauman, Donatella Porta, Nancy Fraser, Eva Illouz, Ivan Krastev, Bruno Latour, Paul Mason, Pankaj Mishra, Robert Misik, Oliver Nachtwey, César Rendueles, Wolfgang Streeck, David Reybrouck, Slavoj Žižek, Heinrich Geiselberger

        Spätestens seit sich die Folgen der Finanzkrise abzeichnen und die Migration in die Europäische Union zunimmt, sehen wir uns mit Entwicklungen konfrontiert, die viele für Phänomene einer längst vergangenen Epoche hielten: dem Aufstieg nationalistischer, teils antiliberaler Parteien wie dem Front National und der AfD, einer tiefgreifenden Krise der EU, einer Verrohung des öffentlichen Diskurses durch Demagogen wie Donald Trump, wachsendem Misstrauen gegenüber den etablierten Medien und einer Verbreitung fremdenfeindlicher Einstellungen, die an dunkle Zeiten gemahnt. Politiker werden als »Vaterlandsverräter« verunglimpft, Muslime unter Generalverdacht gestellt, im Internet werden die krudesten Verschwörungstheorien propagiert. In diesem Band untersuchen international renommierte Forscher und Intellektuelle die Ursachen dieser »Großen Regression«, verorten sie in einem historischen Kontext, erörtern Szenarien für die nächsten Jahre und diskutieren Strategien, mit denen wir diesen Entwicklungen entgegentreten können. Mit Beiträgen von Arjun Appadurai, Zygmunt Bauman, Donatella della Porta, Nancy Fraser, Eva Illouz, Ivan Krastev, Bruno Latour, Paul Mason, Pankaj Mishra, Robert Misik, Oliver Nachtwey, César Rendueles, Wolfgang Streeck, David Van Reybrouck, Slavoj Žižek.

        Kanaillen-Kapitalismus

        Eine literarische Reise durch die Geschichte der freien Marktwirtschaft

        by César Rendueles, Raul Zelik

        Nach dem Erscheinen seines Essays Soziophobie schrieb die taz, César Rendueles verbinde »eine antikapitalistische Haltung mit einem abgeklärten Wissen um die Komplexität von Gesellschaften«. Wissen darüber, wie die Welt vor der freien Marktwirtschaft aussah und wie die ökonomische Logik nach und nach alle Lebensbereiche durchdrungen hat, entstammt immer auch der Lektüre fiktionaler Literatur. In seinem neuen Buch erkundet Rendueles seine persönliche Lesebiografie. Anhand von Klassikern wie Robinson Crusoe und Kultbüchern wie American Psycho zeichnet er nach, wie der Kapitalismus sich uns einverleibt hat. Doch zugleich kann in Büchern, das zeigt Rendueles etwa an Kleists Michael Kohlhaas und an Science-Fiction-Romanen, auch der Geist der Revolte und solidarischer Utopien stecken.

        Dog Huzai of Circus

        by Mu Ling

        Under the influence of his foster mother, Tiger Cub became a popular "child star" in the circus. Then the circus was disbanded, and Tiger Cub followed his new owner, a boy who was just as childish and playful as he was, into the mountains. The circus was disbanded, and the tiger cubs followed their new owner, a boy who was just as childish and playful as they were, to the mountains. Because of the experience of performing with beasts and small animals, it is so kind that it is a bit confused, and even does not distinguish between friend and foe; it knows how to help the injured and weak beasts, but it also repeatedly breaks into the territory of the carnivorous beasts, which brings a lot of trouble and danger to itself. Hunger, however, finally forced it out of the innocent "fairy tale world" to become a self-reliant mountain dog, and accidentally acquired a somewhat dangerous alien hunting companion.

        Das Selbst im Lebenszyklus

        by János Paál, Hans-Peter Hartmann, Wolfgang Milch, Peter Kutter

        Für sämtliche Übergänge im Laufe des Lebens gelten die gleichen grundsätzlichen Prinzipien: das Selbst zu behaupten, aufrechtzuerhalten und ihm Ausdruck zu verleihen. Zu beobachten ist auch das Prinzip, daß einem Fortschritt zu einer höheren Integrationsstufe und höheren Werten eine Krise vorausgeht, eine vorübergehende Entidealisierung und Regression der bislang vorherrschenden Werte und Ideale und der mit ihnen verbundenen Selbstobjekt-Erfahrungen. Darüber hinaus ermöglicht die Tendenz, konkrete Selbstobjekte, also Personen, zunehmend durch abstrakte und symbolische Selbstobjekte zu ersetzen, verläßlichere und weniger enttäuschungsanfällige idealisierende Selbstobjekt-Erfahrungen.

        The Girl with a Teddy Bear. Doctor Seraficus

        by V. Domontovych

        This book contains two of the most famous works of V. Domontovych. One of them is an engaging and somewhat extravagant novel The Girl with a Teddy Bear that describes the love of a sagacious teacher and his rebellious student. The novel is also a brilliant example of intellectual prose about the changing cultural orientations and the tragic personal conflict of a person destined to live in the time of change. The second one is Doctor Seraficus. It is the story of a strange and infantile ascetic professor who preaches a peculiar sort of “Don Juanism in reverse”: the desire to love all women and denounce all of them simultaneously.

        The anxiety of sameness in early modern Spain

        by Christina H. Lee

        This book explores the Spanish elite's fixation on social and racial 'passing' and 'passers', as represented in a wide range of texts. It examines literary and non-literary works produced in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries that express the dominant Spaniards' anxiety that socially mobile lowborns, Conversos (converted Jews), and Moriscos (converted Muslims) could impersonate and pass for 'pure' Christians like themselves. Ultimately, this book argues that while conspicuous sociocultural and ethnic difference was certainly perturbing and unsettling, in some ways it was not as threatening to the dominant Spanish identity as the potential discovery of the arbitrariness that separated them from the undesirables of society - and therefore the recognition of fundamental sameness. This fascinating and accessible work will appeal to students of Hispanic studies, European history, cultural studies, Spanish literature and Spanish history.

        Soybean

        Genetics, Molecular Biology and Biotechnology

        by Edited by Desh P S Verma, Randy C Shoemaker

        Soybean is one of the world’s leading sources of seed oil and seed protein and is grown extensively, particularly in the Americas and Asia. Indeed, soybean is the lowest-cost producer of vegetable oil, since the oil is a coproduct of its protein-rich meal. Major advances have recently been made in our understanding of soybean genetics and of the application of new technologies to soybean improvement. Thus it is now possible, using molecular methods, to alter the protein and oil composition of soybean, as well as produce other foreign proteins in the plant. Further progress should permit the improvement of nitrogen fixation and other desirable traits. This book focuses on recent progress in our understanding of the genetics and molecular biology of soybean and provides a broad review of the subject, from genome diversity to transformation and integration of desired genes using current technologies. It is aimed at workers in legume agronomy, plant genetics, breeding and biotechnology.

        Who are you?

        by Artem Chekh

        “Who are you?” hears young Tymofyi from Feliks, his friend and foe, torturer and mentor, a man shell-shocked by a faraway war. “Who am I?” asks himself the almost-adult, autobiographical Tymofyi at the end of the novel. The road from the first question to the second is inevitable for any coming of age novel. In the case of Artem Chekh - coming of age in the shadow of repulsive experiences from a foreign war, which suddenly turns out to be only the mind and body’s training in preparation of a war of our own, though we won't find it in this novel. However, we are likely to find all those childish and youthful initiations, through which we all had to fight on our path towards adult lives that turn out to be unlike anything we had imagined.
