"Der vorliegende Band enthält eine Reihe von Fallstudien, die die Nutzung der Literalität in traditionalen Gesellschaften illustrieren; es werden nicht nur Gesellschaften untersucht, in denen es seit langem eine partielle Literalität gibt, die Untersuchung bezieht sich auch auf den Einfluß der Schrift in nicht-literalen Gesellschaften. Zusätzlich zu den Fallstudien enthält der Band die inzwischen berühmt gewordene Studie von Jack Goody und lan Watt über »Konsequenzen der Literalität«."
Um den Sinn und die Kraft des Rechts zu erschließen, müssen wir weit über die formalen Bausteine staatlicher Rechtsordnungen hinausblicken. Ausgehend von der amerikanischen Bürgerrechtsbewegung und der jüdischen Rechtstradition erkunden Robert Covers bahnbrechende Essays die existenzielle Dichte rechtlicher Weltformung. Nachgezeichnet wird das Wechselspiel von Visionen, Narrativen, tätiger Hingabe und Gewalt, in dem eine unaufhebbare Vielfalt gesellschaftlicher Perspektiven um den Sinn des Rechts ringt. Kaum ein juristischer Autor hat in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten eine so breite interdisziplinäre Rezeption erfahren wie Cover. Mit diesem Band wird sein Werk nun erstmals in deutscher Sprache zugänglich gemacht.

Die zentrale Frage dieses Buches: wie kam es, daß sich etwa ab 300 nach Christus bestimmte allgemeine Züge des europäischen Erscheinungsbildes von Verwandtschaft und Ehe anders gestalten als im antiken Rom, Griechenland, in Israel und Ägypten, anders auch als in den Gesellschaften an den Mittelmeerküsten des Nahen Ostens und Nordafrikas, die diese ablösten? Mit der Beantwortung dieser Fragen versucht Goody zugleich, eine Betrachtungsweise europäischer Institutionen und Einstellungen zu begründen, die zum einen vom Beginn unserer heutigen Zeitrechnung ausgeht – von den mediterranen und nahöstlichen Wurzeln einer Ideologie, die über die letzten 2000 Jahre so überaus wirksam war, im Bereich der Familie ebenso wie in der Theologie, in der Politik ebenso wie in der Produktion – und zum anderen diese europäischen Institutionen und Einstellungen auch unter kulturvergleichendem Aspekt ins Auge gefaßt.

The level of domestic abuse has been increasing for years, but often only cases of physical abuse hit the headlines. Hardly anyone talks about the mental, or psychological, abuse that usually precedes a physical or sexual assault. Those affected do not usually recognise the destructive dynamic in their relationship until far too late. In this book, three case histories illustrate the typical forms of mental abuse in relationships. In addition, experts explain the topic from psychological, therapeutic, political and legal perspectives, and the head of a counselling centre for male victims of mental abuse also has his say. An important and startling book.

Der Übergang von der Mündlichkeit zur Schriftlichkeit und die Ablösung verschiedener Schriftsysteme bis zu ihrer Perfektion in der alphabetischen Schrift der Griechen bedeutet mehr als einen technologischen Wandel der Kommunikationsmedien. Die Abstraktionsleistung, die zur Erfindung der Schrift, besonders der phonetischen, nötig ist, hat bestimmte soziale Voraussetzungen. Umgekehrt beschleunigt der tägliche Gebrauch der Schrift soziale Veränderungen, da der Kopf von der Mühe des Gedächtnisses befreit und für konzeptuelles Denken frei wird. Von den kulturellen Einbußen und Gewinnen, die die Vollendung der Schriftlichkeit mit sich bringt, ist die europäische Zivilisation geprägt: den Verlust an Unmittelbarkeit bei der Ablösung der mündlichen Rede durch die schriftliche Aufzeichnung hat bereits Plato beklagt; das Bewahren und damit Veralten der fixierten Texte läßt jedoch zugleich ein kritisches Bewußtsein entstehen und bezeichnet den Beginn der geschichtlichen Erfahrung, die das Vergangene vom Gegenwärtigen zu scheiden weiß.

After the fall of the Ben Ali regime in 2011, Tunisia swiftly began dealing with its authoritarian past and initiated a comprehensive transitional justice process, with the Truth and Dignity Commission as its central institution. However, instead of bringing about peace and justice, transitional justice soon became an arena of contention. Through a process lens, the book explores why and how the process evolved, and explains how it relates to the country's political transition. Based on extensive field research in Tunisia and the US, and interviews with a broad range of international stakeholders and decision-makers, this is the first book to comprehensively study the Tunisian transitional justice process. It provides an in-depth analysis of a crucial period, examining the role of justice professionals in different stages, as well as the alliances and frictions between different actor groups that cut across the often-assumed local-international divide.

This book offers a new critical framework for understanding the processes of politicising and gendering care for older people and their manifestations in several European contexts. It interrogates how care for older adults varies across time and place while searching for an in-depth comprehension of how it becomes an arena of political struggle and the object of public policy in different countries and at various societal and political levels. It brings together multidisciplinary contributions that examine the issue of care for older people as a political concern from many angles, such as problematising care needs, long-term care policies, home care services, institutional services and family care. The contributions reveal the diversity of situations in which the processes of politicising and gendering care for older adults overlap, contradict or reinforce each other while leading to increased gender (in)equalities on different levels.

One of Egypt’s leading literary voices offers a first-hand look at political, social, cultural events of the last 40 years and how they influenced his writing. Ibrahim Abdelmeguid, called “the quintessential writer about Alexandria” by The National newspaper, looks back over his decades-long writing career this book, which what he calls a “literary autobiography.” In it, he reflects on the social, political, and cultural influences in Egypt and elsewhere that have shaped him as a writer. He shares his views on major political events, such as the 1967 defeat after the Six-Day War, and explanations of their profound impact on his personal life and works of fiction. Abdelmeguid devotes a portion of his work to discussing the development of his views on Egypt’s second president, Gamal Abdel Nasser, over the course of his turbulent tenure in office. The book is divided into a brief introduction and four chapters. Abdelmeguid guides the reader through his literary career, moving masterfully between the factual and the meditative. He explores how each of his novels and many of his short stories was conceived. He also describes cultural, political, and social contexts in which his writing evolved and was received by literary critics and casual readers. He spends considerable time describing the creative process behind his Alexandria trilogy— No One Sleeps in Alexandria, Birds of Amber, and Clouds Over Alexandria. The first book, No One Sleeps in Alexandria, is set during World War II. Abdelmeguid visited numerous key sites in Alexandria and surrounding areas and read every newspaper he could get his hands on. The result of his devotion to research is a vibrant portrayal of Alexandria that shines throughout the epic novel. Of particular note is his successful communication of the cultural and religious diversity of the city and the impact of that on the promotion of a culture of tolerance. Beyond Writing is a rare and important addition to the modern Arabic literary map. Few Arab authors are willing to so transparently share their writing process, preferring to highlight the polished final product while concealing the hard work that brought it into existence. Readers are lucky that it is a writer as prominent, thoughtful, and engaging as Abdelmeguid is willing to draw back the curtain.
