May 2020Niemals ohne sie
Roman
by Jocelyne Saucier, Sonja Finck, Frank Weigand
Die Cardinals sind keine gewöhnliche Familie. Sie haben den Schneid und die Wildheit von Helden, sie haben Angst vor nichts und niemandem. Und sie sind ganze dreiundzwanzig. Als der Vater in der stillgelegten Mine eines kanadischen Dorfes Zink entdeckt, rechnet der Clan fest mit einem Anteil am Gewinn – und dem Ende eines kargen Daseins. Aber beides wird den Cardinals verwehrt, und so schmieden sie einen explosiven Plan, der, wenn schon nicht die Mine, so wenigstens die Ehre der Familie retten soll. Doch der Befreiungsschlag scheitert und zwingt die Geschwister zu einem Pakt des Schweigens, der zu einer Zerreißprobe für die ganze Familie wird. »Saucier gelingt es, dem Leser erst ein freches, freies Leben vorzugaukeln und ihn dann schrittweise in dessen finsteres Herz zu führen – ein grandioser Höllenritt.«, schreibt die Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. In Niemals ohne sie schafft Jocelyne Saucier eine Welt, die aller Rauheit zum Trotz den Glauben an ein selbstbestimmtes, freies und gemeinschaftliches Leben feiert. So belebend und gewagt wie eine Utopie.

Roman
by Jocelyne Saucier
Ohne Ankündigung besteigt die 76-jährige Gladys den Northlander-Zug und verschwindet spurlos aus ihrem kanadischen Dorf. Über Tausende von Kilometern und in Dutzenden Zügen reist sie durch die Weiten Nordkanadas, kehrt zurück an die Orte ihrer Kindheit und spricht auf ihrem Weg mit unzähligen Menschen. Doch was genau führt sie im Schilde, was hat sie dazu bewogen, ihr gut eingerichtetes Leben aufzugeben – und vor allem: Aus welchem Grund hat sie ihre hilfsbedürftige Tochter Lisana zurückgelassen? Was dir bleibt ist ein Roman von unbändiger Lebenskraft – die bewegende Geschichte einer rätselhaften Reise, die durch die Wälder Kanadas führt und tief unter die Haut geht.

October 2011Laizität und Gewissensfreiheit
by Jocelyn Maclure, Charles Taylor, Eva Buddeberg, Robin Celikates
Der Kopftuchstreit in Deutschland und Frankreich, der Mord an Theo van Gogh in den Niederlanden, der Karikaturenstreit in Dänemark: die politische Dimension religiöser Haltungen ist in den letzten Jahren allgegenwärtig. Der Philosoph Charles Taylor gilt als einer der besten Kenner der modernen Religionsgeschichte und als Experte in Sachen Multikulturalismus. Zusammen mit seinem kanadischen Kollegen Jocelyn Maclure versucht er, eine Antwort auf die Frage zu finden, wie sich eine politische Gemeinschaft gegenüber religiösen Mehrheiten und Minderheiten verhalten sollte. Im Zentrum der Untersuchung steht die Frage der religiösen Neutralität des Staates, die in der Moderne unter dem Begriff des Laizismus diskutiert wird. Mit ihr ist das Problem der individuellen Religions- und Gewissensfreiheit aufs engste verbunden. Taylor und Maclure zeigen eindrucksvoll, daß alleine eine »liberal-pluralistische Politik«, die Religion nicht prinzipiell aus der öffentlichen Sphäre ausschließt, unter den Bedingungen heutiger multikultureller Gesellschaften geeignet ist, ein friedliches Zusammenleben und das fundamentale Recht der freien Religionsausübung und Gewissensfreiheit zu gewährleisten.

Humanities & Social SciencesJune 2012Cultures and caricatures of British imperial aviation
Passengers, pilots, publicity
by Gordon Pirie, Andrew Thompson, John Mackenzie
The new activity of trans-continental civil flying in the 1930s is a useful vantage point for viewing the extension of British imperial attitudes and practices. Cultures and caricatures of British imperial aviation examines the experiences of those (mostly men) who flew solo or with a companion (racing or for leisure), who were airline passengers (doing colonial administration, business or research), or who flew as civilian air and ground crews. For airborne elites, flying was a modern and often enviable way of managing, using and experiencing empire. On the ground, aviation was a device for asserting old empire: adventure and modernity were accompanied by supremacism. At the time, however, British civil imperial flying was presented romantically in books, magazines and exhibitions. Eighty years on, imperial flying is still remembered, reproduced and re-enacted in caricature. ;

Humanities & Social SciencesJuly 2010Race, nation and empire
Making histories, 1750 to the present
by Catherine Hall, Keith McClelland, Julian Hoppit
The essays in this collection show how histories written in the past, in different political times, dealt with, considered, or avoided and disavowed Britain's imperial role and issues of difference. Ranging from enlightenment historians to the present, these essays consider both individual historians, including such key figures as E. A. Freeman, G. M. Trevelyan and Keith Hancock, and also broader themes such as the relationship between liberalism, race and historiography and how we might re-think British history in the light of trans-national, trans-imperial and cross-cultural analysis. 'Britishness' and what 'British' history is have become major cultural and political issues in our time. But as these essays demonstrate, there is no single national story: race, empire and difference have pulsed through the writing of British history. The contributors include some of the most distinguished historians writing today: C. A. Bayly, Antoinette Burton, Saul Dubow, Geoff Eley, Theodore Koditschek, Marilyn Lake, John M. MacKenzie, Karen O'Brien, Sonya O. Rose, Bill Schwarz, Kathleen Wilson. ;
