        Die Gute Gesellschaft

        Soziale und demokratische Politik im 21. Jahrhundert

        by Christian Kellermann, Henning Meyer

        Als Ferdinand Lassalle im Mai 1863 den Allgemeinen Deutschen Arbeiterverein gründete, tat er dies noch in einer anderen Welt. 150 Jahre später kann die deutsche Sozialdemokratie große Erfolge vorweisen. Angesichts der Globalisierung, Individualisierung und des Wandels der Arbeitswelt steht sie jedoch vor komplexen Herausforderungen, für die sie überzeugende Antworten entwickeln muss. In diesem Band denken kluge Köpfe aus Wissenschaft und Politik darüber nach, wie eine »Gute Gesellschaft« heute aussehen könnte und auf welchen Wegen sie sich realisieren lässt. Mit Beiträgen von Sebastian Dullien, Colin Crouch, Andrea Nahles, Julian Nida-Rümelin, Gesine Schwan u. v. a.

        Bog bodies

        Face to face with the past

        by Melanie Giles

        The 'bog bodies' of north-western Europe have captured the imaginations of poets and archaeologists alike, allowing us to come face-to-face with individuals from the past. Their exceptional preservation permits us to examine minute details of their lives and deaths, making us reflect poignantly on our own mortality. But, as this book argues, the bodies must be resituated within a turbulent world of endemic violence and change. Reinterpreting the latest continental research and new discoveries, and featuring a ground-breaking 'cold case' forensic study of Worsley Man, Manchester Museum's 'bog head', it brings the bogs to life through both natural history and folklore, revealing them as places that were rich and fertile yet dangerous. The book also argues that these remains do not just pose practical conservation problems but also philosophical dilemmas, compounded by the critical debate on if - and how - they should be displayed.

        Borrowed objects and the art of poetry

        Spolia in Old English verse

        by Denis Ferhatovic

        This study examines Exeter riddles, Anglo-Saxon biblical poems (Exodus, Andreas, Judith) and Beowulf in order to uncover the poetics of spolia, an imaginative use of recycled fictional artefacts to create sites of metatextual reflection. Old English poetry famously lacks an explicit ars poetica. This book argues that attention to particularly charged moments within texts - especially those concerned with translation, transformation and the layering of various pasts - yields a previously unrecognised means for theorising Anglo-Saxon poetic creativity. Borrowed objects and the art of poetry works at the intersections of materiality and poetics, balancing insights from thing theory and related approaches with close readings of passages from Old English texts.
