Humanities & Social SciencesMarch 2019Writing the Welsh borderlands in Anglo-Saxon England
by Lindy Brady, T. J. H. McCarthy, Stephen Mossman, Carrie Beneš, Jochen Schenk
This is the first study of the Anglo-Welsh border region in the period before the Norman arrival in England, from the fifth to the twelfth centuries. Its conclusions significantly alter our current picture of Anglo/Welsh relations before the Norman Conquest by overturning the longstanding critical belief that relations between these two peoples during this period were predominately contentious. Writing the Welsh borderlands in Anglo-Saxon England demonstrates that the region which would later become the March of Wales was not a military frontier in Anglo-Saxon England, but a distinctively mixed Anglo-Welsh cultural zone which was depicted as a singular place in contemporary Welsh and Anglo-Saxon texts. This study reveals that the region of the Welsh borderlands was much more culturally coherent, and the impact of the Norman Conquest on it much greater, than has been previously realised.

A complexity theory of literature
by Lydia R. Cooper
Combining the fields of evolutionary economics and the humanities, this book examines McCarthy's literary works as a significant case study demonstrating our need to recognise the interrelated complexities of economic policies, environmental crises, and how public policy and rhetoric shapes our value systems. In a world recovering from global economic crisis and poised on the brink of another, studying the methods by which literature interrogates narratives of inevitability around global economic inequality and eco-disaster is ever more relevant.

Medieval historyApril 2009Music, scholasticism and reform
Salian Germany 1024–1125
by T. J. H. McCarthy
This fascinating study looks at music and its intellectual context in the eleventh and twelfth centuries. Drawing on a rich body of theoretical literature and manuscript sources, this book paints a detailed picture of the study of music in eleventh-and early twelfth-century Germany. It focuses on the activity of a group of prominent intellectuals based in the monastic and cathedral schools of the German Kingdom, charting their sources and shared concerns, while subtly examining their reception and modification of each others' ideas. Distilling a considerable amount of German scholarship, it situates music in its proper place among other intellectual developments that took place in eleventh-century Germany. This book is above all a study of motivations and thought processes of a group of medieval thinkers: it and will appeal to specialist and non-specialist ecclesiastical, intellectual and cultural historians, as well as to historians of music and of medieval culture.

Pathobiology and Protection
by Patrick T K Woo, Rocco C Cipriano
Taking a disease-based approach, Fish Viruses and Bacteria: Pathobiology and Protection focuses on the pathobiology of and protective strategies against the most common, major microbial pathogens of economically important marine and freshwater fish. The book covers well-studied, notifiable piscine viruses and bacteria, including new and emerging diseases which can become huge threats to local fish populations in new geographical regions if transported there via infected fish or eggs. A concise but thorough reference work, this book: - Covers key viral and bacterial diseases of notable fish species; - Reviews major well-established piscine pathogens as well as new, emerging and notifiable diseases; and - Contains the most up-to-date research contributed by a team of over fifty world experts. An invaluable bench book for fish health consultants, veterinarians and all those wanting instant access to information, this book is also a useful textbook for students specializing in fish health and research scientists initiating fish disease research programmes. ; Taking a disease-based approach, this book focuses on the pathobiology of and protective strategies against the most common, major microbial pathogens of economically important marine and freshwater fish.

November 2015Rassismus, Imperialismus und die Idee menschlicher Entwicklung
by Thomas McCarthy, Michael Müller
»Die Menschheit«, so Kant in seiner Vorlesung über Physische Geographie, »ist in ihrer größten Vollkommenheit in der Race der Weißen. Die gelben Indianer haben schon ein geringeres Talent. Die Neger sind weit tiefer, und am tiefsten steht ein Theil der amerikanischen Völkerschaften.« Die Vorstellung, der Entwicklungsstand der Menschen sei bedingt durch ihre ethnische Abstammung, ist tief verwurzelt im westlichen Denken. Thomas McCarthy zeigt, dass Rassismus und Imperialismus von Anfang an wesentliche Elemente der modernen Weltordnung waren. Ausgehend vom philosophischen Erbe der Aufklärung entwirft er eine kritische Theorie humaner Entwicklung, die für einen universalistischen Multikulturalismus eintritt.

Roman | Werden die besten Gegenwartsdiagnosen in den mächtigen Finanzzentren erstellt?
by Tom McCarthy, Thomas Melle
Im Bauch eines Glas- und Stahlbaus verfasst der promovierte Ethnologe U. auf internen Memos eines weltweit tätigen Beratungsunternehmens den »Großen Bericht«: Diese universale Gegenwartsdiagnose soll Trends und Tendenzen aufspüren, denn nur wer die Menschen versteht, kann sie zu Konsumenten machen. Den einen Bericht über diese Welt zu schreiben, in der man sich chronisch zwischen zwei Orten befindet, erweist sich jedoch als knifflig. Zumal die Geschichte sich zu schnell fortschreibt – und wer sie mitschreibt, kann sie nicht gleichzeitig erfassen. Als Forscher und Gegenstand zu verschwimmen und die allumfassende, sinnstiftende Erzählung zu scheitern drohen, eröffnet ein Traum von einer apokalyptischen Stadtlandschaft samt gigantischer Müllverbrennungsanlage neue Perspektiven. Werden die besten Gegenwartsdiagnosen in den mächtigen Finanzzentren erstellt? Tom McCarthy unternimmt nichts Geringeres als den Versuch, unsere Zeit zu vermessen – und bringt dabei eine ihrer tiefenschärfsten Analysen hervor!

October 1993Ideale und Illusionen
Dekonstruktion und Rekonstruktion in der kritischen Theorie
by Thomas McCarthy, Joachim Schulte
Kant kommt in seiner kritischen Theorie zu dem Schluß, dass unser Denken, das einerseits durch die Ideen der Vernunft immer wieder in die Irre geführt wird, andererseits nicht ohne diese Ideen auskommen kann. Wir bedürfen der Einsicht, daß es der »konstitutive Gebrauch« dieser Ideen ist, der uns notwendig zu verfehlten metaphysischen Annahmen verleitet, während ihr regulativer Gebrauch für uns Vernunftwesen unentbehrlich ist. Diese Grundeinsicht der kritischen Philosophie bringt Thomas McCarthy in den hier vorgelegten Untersuchungen in wechselnden Kontexten zur Anwendung. Die Vernunft, deren Kritik die Philosophen heute beschäftigt, kann allerdings nicht mehr dieselbe sein wie zu Kants Zeiten. Es ist eine Vernunft, die nicht mehr zu trennen ist von den gesellschaftlich geprägten Situationen, in denen sie sich manifestiert: Es ist eine verkörperte, durch kulturelle und soziale Praktiken vermittelte Vernunft. Kurz, die philosophische Kritik kann heute nicht mehr der »reinen« Vernunft gelten, sondern sie bezieht sich notgedrungen auf eine »unreine« Vernunft.

The ArtsJanuary 2019Reframing difference
Beur and banlieue filmmaking in France
by Carrie Tarr
Reframing difference is the first major study of two overlapping strands of contemporary French cinema, cinema beur (films by young directors of Maghrebi immigrant origin) and cinema de banlieue (films set in France's disadvantaged outer-city estates). Carrie Tarr's insightful account draws on a wide range of films, from directors such as Mehdi Charef, Mathieu Kassovitz and Djamel Bensalah. Her analyses compare the work of male and female, majority and minority film-makers, and emphasise the significance of authorship in the representation of gender and ethnicity. Foregrounding such issues as the quest for identity, the negotiation of space and the recourse to memory and history, she argues that these films challenge and reframe the symbolic spaces of French culture, addressing issues of ethnicity and difference which are central to today's debates about what it means to be French. This timely book is essential reading for anyone interested in the relationship between cinema and citizenship in a multicultural society.
