June 1989Die Entwicklung von Ehe und Familie in Europa
by Jack Goody, Eva Horn
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.

June 1986Entstehung und Folgen der Schriftkultur
by Jack Goody, Ian Watt, Kathleen Gough, Friedhelm Herborth, Heinz Schlaffer
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.

Fiction2022TÜK
by Art Antonian
The üPopulation lost its human form a long time ago. In the world of people, heart palpitations are a crime, a terrible disease. Total prohibitions were declared absolute freedom, love of the motherland was replaced by aggressive political militarism, robots took the place of pets, they were created to train their masters in exquisite sadism. An ideal society is governed by the neÜsrooms. The only thing standing in the way of perfect order is Herz-terrorism, which arose as a result of a global cardiac pandemic. A law-abiding persön David works conscientiously for the benefit of the Ümpire at the TV center, helping to create a news product that should be regularly consumed by all representatives of the üPopulation. David, who is a cog in the merciless propaganda machine, falls into the maelstrom of events that not only question the perfection of the imperial system, but also threaten all of humanity.

Sociology: family & relationshipsJuly 2016Changing gender roles and attitudes to family formation in Ireland
by Series edited by Rob Kitchin, Margret Fine-Davis
Recent decades have witnessed major changes in gender roles and family patterns, as well as a falling birth rate in Ireland and the rest of Europe. While the traditional family is now being replaced in many cases by new family forms, we do not know the reasons why people are making the choices they are and whether or not these choices are leading to greater well-being. While demographic research has attempted to explain the new trends in family formation and fertility, there has been little research on people's attitudes to family formation and having children. This book presents the results of the first major study to examine people's attitudes to family formation and childbearing in Ireland. Based on a nationwide representative sample of 1,404 men and women in the childbearing age group, the study was carried out against a backdrop of changing gender role attitudes and behaviour as well as significant demographic change.

Children's & YAJanuary 2020On the Move
by Art studio Agrafka (Authors), Art studio Agrafka (Illustrators)
The universe is always on the move: Nothing in it remains completely at rest. Movement is natural: The Earth, the water on it, the atmosphere, the continents, and all living organisms exist in a state of constant motion. We walk, run, jump, crawl, swim, and fly. We travel. This book is about movement and travel—not only by people, but also that of animals, plants, the wind, water, and our planet. It describes journeys for the purpose of trade and commerce, journeys for the purpose of pleasure and repose or for survival, as well as scientific expeditions and pilgrimages. It’s about migrations, maps, navigation, and, finally, about finding your own path. Travellers often hear questions associated with "where" and "where from:" "Where are you going?", "Where are you from?" This book is a visual and intellectual expedition through thousands of years of movement, in search of answers to these as well as many other questions related to movement. From 6 to 9 years, 2896 words Rightsholders: Ivan Fedechko, ivan.fedechko@starlev.com.ua

October 2024Nomos 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.

December 2024The Rangelands of Libya
by Gustave Gintzburger, Slim Saïdi
Libya remains a land of mysteries with a harsh arid climate, a land rich in millenaries of troubled history, a land where the Sahara meet the Mediterranean Sea, a land where the West and the East Mediterranean merge. Libya is also a land where the desert and the sown intermingle in the steppe country where the rainfall is unpredictable, the soils are poor, rocky, saline, rendering rainfed cultivation hazardous, where grazing and rainfed cropping remained for long the only viable agricultural options. Over the past 60 years, oil resources allowed gigantic agricultural development projects, urbanization, road network expansion and well drilling. This changed the ways of life of rural populations, impacting and undoubtedly altering rangelands conditions and systems, as well as native vegetation cover, wildlife and land use. This book reviews the past and current environmental and agricultural condition of the Libyan rangelands with example of how territories and resources are used by tribal communities. It describes, explains and illustrates the landscapes, the vegetation, the wildlife, the rainfed cereal systems and livestock systems, the reasons for the rampant overstocking, the relentless land clearing for hazardous cropping and uncertain irrigation projects, the wild fuelwood collection and charcoal manufacturing, triggering land degradation and desertification. Long-tested rangeland recovery and rehabilitation techniques in Libya are reviewed using appropriate plant material and proven establishment techniques with successes and failures assessed. This book is offered in hopes of a better future for the Libyan people and the whole Mediterranean arid regions from Morocco to Pakistan.
