Humanities & Social SciencesApril 2024Women in exile in early modern Europe and the Americas
by Linda Levy Peck, Adrianna E. Bakos
Exile, its pain and possibility, is the starting point of this book. Women's experience of exile was often different from that of men, yet it has not received the important attention it deserves. Women in exile in early modern Europe and the Americas addresses that lacuna through a wide-ranging geographical, chronological, social and cultural approach. Whether powerful, well-to-do or impoverished, exiled by force or choice, every woman faced the question of how to reconstruct her life in a new place. These essays focus on women's agency despite the pressures created by political, economic and social dislocation. Collectively, they demonstrate how these women from different countries, continents and status groups not only survived but also in many cases thrived. This analysis of early modern women's experiences not only provides a new vantage point from which to enrich the study of exile but also contributes important new scholarship to the history of women.

FictionLa hermandad de la Casa Grande (The brotherhood of the Big House)
Una novela negra sobre el juicio del Estado a los brujos de Chiloé (A detective novel about the state's trial of the witches of Chiloé)
by Eduardo Pérez Arroyo
It's 1879. To the north, Chile defends foreign investment in the Pacific War. To the south, beyond the already invaded Araucania, from a large, almost unexplored island, rumors of violence, superstition and a state incapable of enforcing its law spread. The elite would be at ease if some “elements” that are not occupied at the border with Peru penetrated Chiloé. They need evidence to condemn those criminals who terrorize the population with old indigenous beliefs. They call themselves witches. They are organized as La Recta Provincia or La Hermandad de la Casa Grande. They lie to scare and change the names of the cities on the island –Achao, Dalcahue or Quicaví–, confusing them with others: Buenos Aires, Villarrica, Salamanca. If they were only myths, it would be enough for the government to forget that secret place. But the one who calls himself the Greatest Liar in the World claims to have escaped the sorcerers and travels the north glimpsing the aliens: he talks to them of malice, monsters and murders; of the bloody clans' struggles to become a decaying reign. For these lies, or to secure an unstable national pride, coronels and tenants decide to put an end to things that a mortal has no power to finish.

June 1990Traditionen Humboldts
by Jürgen Trabant
Das Sprachdenken Wilhelm von Humboldts, das im Verlauf der Geschichte von Sprachphilosophie und Linguistik durch reduktionistische Lektüren vor allem dazu gedient hat, die disparatesten theoretischen Unternehmungen zu legitimieren, wird in den letzten Jahren zunehmend aus seinem spezifischen philosophischen und wissenschaftlichen Kontext rekonstruiert und als Ganzes rezipiert, das heißt als einzigartige synthetische Verbindung transzendentalphilosophischer Reflexion in der Nachfolge Kants mit empirischer sprachwissenschaftlicher Forschung. Der Reichtum des Humboldtschen Sprachdenkens verdankt sich der Vielzahl von Traditionen, die in diesem anthropologisch-linguistischen Projekt zusammenlaufen, sowie der Art und Weise, wie Humboldt diese Traditionen verarbeitet. Einige Linien deses Geflechts der verschiedensten sprachphilosophischen und linguistischen Fragestellungen, die zu Humboldt hinführen, aber auch solche Diskussionsstränge, die von ihm ausgehen, werden in Traditionen Humboldts nachgezeichnet. Bei diesen um Humboldt als Zentrum kreisenden Erkundungen wird auf die Beziehungen zu solchen Autoren und Fragestellungen besonderer Wert gelegt, die bisher weniger beachtet worden sind, wie etwa das Verhältnis zu Leibniz, zu Vico, zu Hegel oder wie die Fragen nach der Entstehung neuer Sprachen und der Rolle des Hörens oder wie Humboldts grammatologische Überlegungen. Jürgen Trabant, geb. 1942, ist Professor für romanische Sprachwissenschaft an der Freien Universität Berlin. Veröffentlichungen: Zur Semiologie des literarischen Kunstwerks (1970); Elemente der Semiotik (1976); (Hg. zus. m. A. Eschbach) History of Semiotics (1973); (Hg.) Wilhelm von Humboldt: Über die Sprache (1985); (Hg. zus. m. W. Busse) Les Idéologues (1986); Apeliotes oder Der Sinn der Sprache (1986); (Hg.) Beiträge zur Geschichte der romanischen Philologie in Berlin (1987); Zeichen des Menschen (1989); Aufsätze zur Textlinguistik, Semiotik, Sprachphilosophie und Geschichte der Sprachwissenschaft; Herausgeber der semiotischen Zeitschrift Kodikas/Code.
