December 2011Weihnachten
Das globale Fest
by Daniel Miller, Frank Jakubzik
Jedes Jahr reisen Millionen Menschen im Dezember hektisch nach Hause – um dort in aller Besinnlichkeit Weihnachten zu feiern. Obwohl alle auf Kommerz und Materialismus schimpfen, geben sie sich jede Mühe, Verwandten und Freunden mit teuren Geschenken ihre Liebe zu beweisen. Weihnachten steckt voller Paradoxien, mit denen sich Daniel Miller in seinem Essay über die Geschichte und Bedeutung eines Festes befaßt, das wie kein anderes dazu geeignet ist, den Kalender der Weltgesellschaft zu synchronisieren.

Business, Economics & LawNovember 2019Dark Tourism and Pilgrimage
by Daniel H Olsen, Maximiliano E Korstanje
In recent years there has been a growth in both the practice and research of dark tourism; the phenomenon of visiting sites of tragedy or disaster. Expanding on this trend, this book examines dark tourism through the new lens of pilgrimage. It focuses on dark tourism sites as pilgrimage destinations, dark tourists as pilgrims, and pilgrimage as a form of dark tourism. Taking a broad definition of pilgrimage so as to consider aspects of both religious and non-religious travel that might be considered pilgrimage-like, it covers theories and histories of dark tourism and pilgrimage, pilgrimage to dark tourism sites, and experience design. A key resource for researchers and students of heritage, tourism and pilgrimage, this book will also be of great interest to those studying anthropology, religious studies and related social science subjects.

Business, Economics & LawSeptember 2020Religious Tourism and the Environment
by Kiran A Shinde, Daniel H Olsen
The remarkable growth in religious tourism across the world has generated considerable interest in the impacts of this type of tourism. Focusing here on environmental issues, this book moves beyond the documentation of environmental impacts to examine in greater depth the intersections between religious tourism and the environment. Beginning with an in-depth introduction that highlights the intersections between religion, tourism, and the environment, the book then focuses on the environment as a resource or generator for religious tourism and the environment as a recipient of impacts of religious tourism. Chapters included discuss such important areas as disease, environmental responsibility and host perspectives. Covering as many cultural and environmental regions as possible, this book provides: An in-depth, yet holistic view of the relationships between religious tourism and the environment; A conceptual framework that goes beyond listing potential environment impacts; A strong focus on explaining the universality of the deeper environmental issues surrounding sacredness and sacred places. From a global writing team and featuring case studies spanning Europe and Asia, this book will be of great interest to researchers and students of tourism and religious studies, as well as those studying environmental issues.

Humanities & Social SciencesApril 2018Disability in the Industrial Revolution
Physical impairment in British coalmining, 1780–1880
by David M. Turner, Daniel Blackie, Julie Anderson
An electronic version of this book is also available under a Creative Commons (CC-BY-NC-ND) license, thanks to the support of the Wellcome Trust. The Industrial Revolution produced injury, illness and disablement on a large scale and nowhere was this more visible than in coalmining. Disability in the Industrial Revolution sheds new light on the human cost of industrialisation by examining the lives and experiences of those disabled in an industry that was vital to Britain's economic growth. Although it is commonly assumed that industrialisation led to increasing marginalisation of people with impairments from the workforce, disabled mineworkers were expected to return to work wherever possible, and new medical services developed to assist in this endeavour. This book explores the working lives of disabled miners and analyses the medical, welfare and community responses to disablement in the coalfields. It shows how disability affected industrial relations and shaped the class identity of mineworkers. The book will appeal to students and academics interested in disability, occupational health and social history.

Literature & Literary StudiesJuly 2005Irvine Welsh
by Aaron Kelly, Daniel Lea
Irvine Welsh's fiction has defined an era, and this first full-length study provides a sustained textual and contextual analysis of all his work, from 'Trainspotting' and 'The Acid House' to 'Glue' and 'Porno'. A detailed chronological survey also considers the appropriateness of cultural, postmodern and postcolonial theories to Welsh's incendiary fiction. Kelly gives a fascinating insight into the writer's formal and political ambitions, placing him in the context of the 'brat pack' which exploded onto the Scottish literary scene in the 1990s. He explores the social, class and political conditioning of Welsh's early life, and its impact on his motivations for writing. Clearly written and accessible, this will be a key resource for students and academics alike. Choose 'Irvine Welsh'! ;

Protestant devotional identities in early modern England
by Elizabeth Clarke, Robert W. Daniel
This international and interdisciplinary volume investigates Protestant devotional identities in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century England. Divided into two sections, the book examines the 'sites' where these identities were forged - the academy, printing house, household, theatre and prison - and the 'types' of texts that expressed them - spiritual autobiographies, religious poetry and writings tied to the ars moriendi - providing a broad analysis of social, material and literary forms of devotion during England's Long Reformation. Through archival and cutting-edge research, a detailed picture of 'lived religion' emerges, which re-evaluates the pietistic acts and attitudes of well-known and recently discovered figures. To those studying and teaching religion and identity in early modern England, and anyone interested in the history of religious self-expression, these chapters offer a rich and rewarding read.

The ArtsApril 2019Daniel Calparsoro
by Nuria Triana-Toribio, Ann Davies, Andy Willis
Daniel Calparsoro, a director who has made a crucial contribution to contemporary Spanish and Basque cinema, has provoked strong reactions from the critics. Reductively dismissed as a works of crude violence by those lamenting a 'lost golden age' of Spanish filmmaking, Calparsoro's films in fact reveal a more complex interaction with trends and traditions in both Spanish and Hollywood cinema. This book is the first full-length study of the director's work, from his early social-realist films set in the Basque Country to his later forays into the genres of the war and horror. It offers an in-depth film-by-film analysis while simultaneously exploring the director's position in the contemporary Spanish context, the tension between directors and critics and the question of national cinema in an area - the Basque Country - of heightened national and regional sensitivities.

For millennia people have travelled to religious sites for worship, initiatory and leisure purposes. Today there are hundreds, if not thousands, of religious pilgrimage routes and trails around the world that are used by pilgrims as well as tourists. Indeed, many religious pilgrimage routes and trails are today used as themes by tourism marketers in an effort to promote regional economic development. Providing a holistic approach to religious pilgrimage routes and trails, this book: - Addresses important conceptual themes such as sustainable local development, regional economic development, heritage identity and management, and promoting environmentally friendly practices; - Includes global case studies to help transfer theory into good practice; - Calls for further discussion of the importance of better planning, management, and maintenance of these routes and trails, so that the positive benefits of this type of tourism development can be fully realized. An important resource for those interested in religious tourism and pilgrimage, this book is also an invaluable collection for academics and policy-makers within heritage tourism and regional development.

December 1966Briefe
1929–1951
by Hermann Broch, Robert Pick, Daniel Brody
Die in diesem Bande veröffentlichte Auswahl aus Hermann Brochs Briefen stellt einen unerläßlichen Kommentar zu seinen Schriften dar. Die Briefe gewähren Einblick in den Entstehungsprozeß seiner Werke, und der Leser wird durch eingehende theoretische Darlegungen vom Dichter selbst in ihren Problemkreis und ihre künstlerischen Tendenzen eingeführt. Berechtigung und Aufgabe des Dichterberufes in der gegenwärtigen Zeit ist der Fragenkomplex, der Broch dauernd beschäftigt hat. Das Bedürfnis, sich als Dichter zu verantworten und seinen erstrebten‚ Standort zu umzeichnen, veranlaßte ihn zu zahlreichen literar- wie zeitkritischen Erörterungen in seinen Briefen. Sie sind zugleich ein Spiegel des Zeitgeschehens und der zeitgenössischen Literatur, wodurch ihnen weit über den Kreis des persönlichen Lebenslaufs und dichterischen Werkbereichs im engeren Sinn hinaus eine große Bedeutung zukommt. Zudem sind sie als Ergänzung zu den nur fragmentarisch vorhandenen erkenntnistheoretischen Schriften besonders wertvoll. Über das werkgeschichtliche und literarkritische Interesse hinaus haben die Briefe aber auch hohen Wert als Dokumente menschlicher Größe. Sie sind – und darin besteht ein wesentlicher Teil ihrer besonderen Anziehungskraft – echte, nicht zur Veröffentlichung bestimmte Zwiegespräche des Dichters mit Freunden und Zeitgenossen, denen er sich im Sterben verwandt fühlte. Mehr als über die biographischen Stationen seines Lebens – Industrieller, Dichter, Emigrant, Philosoph und Sozialwissenschaftler –, die Broch selber für nebensächlich hielt, geben die Briefe Zeugnis von einer überragenden geistigen Persönlichkeit.
