Geschichten vom Glück im Grünen
by Nadja Mayer
Unsere Sehnsucht nach dem Land, nach dem Echten und Ursprünglichen ist groß – und fürchtet weder Giersch noch Gartenzwerg. Wir entfliehen der Großstadt, fahren ins Grüne, genießen das einfache Leben, die frische Luft und die pure Natur. Und auch wenn sich nicht jeder Klumpen Erde zur Bewirtschaftung eignet und mitunter auf dem Land auch einfach nur Langeweile herrscht, lassen wir uns nicht unterkriegen: Wir graben um und säen aus. Wir hegen und pflegen, hacken Holz und mähen Gras. Wir atmen tief durch und endlich auf. Wir suchen das Weite und finden dabei auch uns selbst. Mitzuerleben und nachzulesen in vergnüglichen und nachdenklichen Geschichten von Max Scharnigg, Eva Demski, Saša Stanišić, Florian Illies, Hilal Sezgin, Katja Lange-Müller, Jakob Augstein und anderen.

Grundtexte der gegenwärtigen tier- und ökoethischen Diskussion
by Angelika Krebs, Heiner Michel, Tarja Prüß, Andreas Bauer, Hilja Sezgin, Hajo Greif, Sandra Moritz, Marcus Welsch, Julika Tillmanns
In der traditionellen Ethik ging es um den Respekt, den Menschen Menschen schulden. Nun werfen aber Tierversuche, Massentierhaltung, Wald- und Artensterben, die Zerstörung von Landschaften und die Veränderung des Erdklimas die Frage auf, ob der Mensch wirklich nur anderen Menschen Respekt schuldet. Gebührt nicht auch der Natur Ehrfurcht? Muß der Anthropozentrismus der traditionellen Ethik nicht überwunden werden? Dieser Band stellt wichtige Texte der angelsächsischen und deutschen Kontroverse zu dieser Frage zusammen. Sowohl Fürsprecher als auch Gegner eines moralischen Status der Natur kommen zu Wort.

Humanities & Social SciencesJanuary 2014New Multicultural Identities in Europe
Religion and Ethnicity in Secular Societies
by Erkan Toguslu, Johan Leman, Ismail Mesut Sezgin (eds)
Multiculturalism in present-day Europe How to understand Europe’s post-migrant Islam on the one hand and indigenous, anti-Islamic movements on the other? What impact will religion have on the European secular world and its regulation? How do social and economic transitions on a transnational scale challenge ethnic and religious identifications? These questions are at the very heart of the debate on multiculturalism in present-day Europe and are addressed by the authors in this book. Through the lens of post-migrant societies, manifestations of identity appear in pluralized, fragmented, and deterritorialized forms. This new European multiculturalism calls into question the nature of boundaries between various ethnic-religious groups, as well as the demarcation lines within ethnic-religious communities. Although the contributions in this volume focus on Islam, ample attention is also paid to Christianity, Judaism, and Hinduism. The authors present empirical data from cases in Turkey, Germany, France, Spain, the United Kingdom, Poland, Norway, Sweden, and Belgium, and sharpen the perspectives on the religious-ethnic manifestations of identity in the transnational context of 21st-century Europe.Ebook available in Open Access.This publication is GPRC-labeled (Guaranteed Peer-Reviewed Content).ContributorsChris Allen (University of Birmingham), Cüneyt Dinç (Süleyman Şah University, Istanbul), Frédérique Harry (University of Paris-Sorbonne), Goedroen Juchtmans (KU Leuven and IKKS, Antwerp), Vincent Legrand (Université catholique de Louvain), Johan Leman (KU Leuven), Kathryn Lum (European University Institute, Florence), Marcel Meciar (Yeditepe University, Istanbul), Ephraim Nimni (Queen's University Belfast), Murat Sevencan (Suleyman Sah University, Istanbul), İsmail Mesut Sezgin (Leeds Metropolitan University), Erkan Toğuşlu (KU Leuven), Katarzyna Warmińska (Cracow University)

The ArtsOctober 2021Jali
Windows of Divine Light in Mughal Art and Architecture
by Editor: Navina Haider, contributors: George Michell, Mitchell Abdul Karim Crites, Ebba Koch
A jali is a perforated stone or latticed screen, with ornamental patterns that draw on the compositional rhythms of calligraphy and geometry. In the parts of Asia and the Mediterranean where solar rays are strongest and brightest is where ustads, or master artisans, were able to evolve an aesthetic language of light, giving it form and shape through stone and other materials. Jalis share a common aim to bring filtered light into enclosed spaces, while providing protection and privacy. Additionally, they shape the atmosphere of a sacred space, augment the grandeur of palaces and enhance the charm of domestic interiors. This book explores the delicate beauty of more than two-hundred jalis across India, from fourteenth-century examples in Delhi to those designed by global contemporary artists inspired by historical styles. This expansive volume covers the temple designs of the Gujarat Sultanates, imperial symbolism and Sufi allusions in Mughal jalis, the innovations and adaptations of jalis across Rajasthan and central India and, further south, calligraphy in stone relief and pierced stone in the Deccan. With contributions by American art historian Mitchell Abdul Karim Crites, George Michell, an authority on South Asian architecture, and renowned art and architectural historian Ebba Koch, this lavishly illustrated publication reveals the poetry etched in these stone screens. Navina Najat Haidar is a curator in the Department of Islamic Art at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. She helped lead the planning of the museum’s galleries for the Art of the Arab Lands, Turkey, Iran, Central Asia, and Later South Asia. Mitchell Abdul Karim Crites is an American art historian, who has lived and worked in India for more than forty years. His primary focus has been the revival of traditional Indian and Islamic arts and crafts. Over the years, Crites has participated in a number of prestigious art and architectural projects ranging from Mexico to Malaysia. George Michell, an authority on South Asian architecture, has made the study of Deccani architecture and archaeology his life’s work. He has spent over thirty years researching and cataloguing the enormous ruined city of Hampi Vijayanagara, among many other historical sites in the region. Ebba Koch, preeminent art and architectural historian, is presently a professor at the Institute of Art History in Vienna, Austria and a senior researcher at the Austrian Academy of Sciences. Dr. Koch has spent much of her professional life studying the architecture, art, and culture of the Mughal Empire, and is considered a leading authority on Mughal architecture. Abhinav Goswami, based in Vrindavan, is trained as an archaeologist, photographer and temple priest. For the last three decades, Goswami has dedicated himself to documenting people, places, architecture and festivals of the rich cultural region of Vraj and other parts of India. http://mapinpub.com/bookinfo.php?id=315
