        Nomos und Narrativ

        Studien zur Theorie des Rechts

        by Robert Cover, Benedict Vischer

        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.

        Representations of British motoring

        by David Jeremiah, Christopher Breward, Bill Sherman, Alan Rutter

        Representations of British motoring provides important new insights into the established discourses of British motoring. Based on the patterns of representation that have mediated between the trade, owners and society, particularly the myths and realities generated by the advertising campaigns and motoring journals, it identifies the landmarks of change and innovation. It is not about great images as such, although some are, but particular attention has been directed towards the creative intervention of the artist-illustrators. Part One emphasises the critical significance of the emerging concerns and aspirations of the first decade of motoring, while the two subsequent parts provide a clear understanding of how the continuity of the public debate has shaped the concepts of modern and popular motoring. The new models, motorists and motoring landscape are the central themes through which it has been possible to track the preoccupation with questions regarding speed and safety, the idea of being British, the aesthetics of the car and motoring, and the family, women and the car. As such it is a design history that redefines and extends the parameters of the history of motoring, providing an overview of the place of the motor-car and motoring in British society that is relevant to undergraduate and postgraduate studies and the motoring enthusiast. ;

        HERON’S WAY

        by Do Taij Mogul

        The hero’s story is told in an ancient, secret chronicle... A white falcon flew across the Eternal Blue Sky. His flight was long and beautiful, binding together the patchwork of lands; his life was full of victories and defeats. Soaring high, then falling like a stone, the falcon darted from place to place. He threaded his way from the colored Jin Empire to that of the daring Naimans; from the lands of the Karakitai Khanate to the territories of the rebellious Tangut; from the highlands of the warlike Taichuds to the floodplains of the unruly Tatars.... From north to south, from east to west, no man or beast in the world knew what the falcon was really like: how his heart ached; how fears clutched his chest; what nightmares visited his sleep; what treacherous winds lurked at every takeoff of his daily journey—a journey from nothing to everything. But as he flew, paying for his power over the world with his loneliness, the world was falling to pieces. When the falcon ceased flying, the Great Destruction came, and only the memory of the people for him kept the Mongol flame burning across the centuries—all while people went about their daily routines, and did all the unbearable and great things that give man his destiny...

        THE DREAMTIME

        by Mstyslav Chernov

        The Dreamtime is a novel, written by Mstyslav Chernov, a war reporter working for Associate Press, and released in 2021 by Sammit-Knyha Publishing House. “Dreamtime” is a 460-page fusion of a documentary and a psychological thriller. The book is based on real events and has been written over an eight-year period. Drawing on the Indigenous Australians’ concept of the dreamtime, the novel explores a social collective experience of war and conflict and is based on real events witnessed by the author during the war in eastern Ukraine and the migration crisis in southern Europe over the recent years. It comprises four intertwined plots spanning in space from Ukraine’s war-torn Donbas to southern Europe and southeast Asia, tied together by themes of existential conflict and the blurred line between reality and dreams. The novel is published in Ukrainian. It was well-received by critics and praised for its realism in depicting war, for its creative literary depiction of how dreams reflect the psyche, and for its "serious" and "skillful” prose. The book was nominated for the BBC News Ukraine Book of the Year Award.
