May 2007Die Gabe der Seele
Geschichte eines Kindsmords
by Adriano Prosperi, Joachim Schulte
Bologna, 5. Dezember 1709: Lucia Cremonini bringt in den frühen Morgenstunden ein Kind zur Welt, das kurz nach der Geburt unter zunächst ungeklärten Umständen stirbt. Die Behörden beginnen zu ermitteln, der Verdacht auf Kindsmord bestätigt sich. Ein typischer Justizfall der frühen Neuzeit nimmt seinen Lauf. Adriano Prosperi rekonstruiert anhand der originalen Prozeßakten den Fall der Lucia Cremonini als das Drama einer unverheirateten jungen Frau am Rande der Gesellschaft. Aber es geht in diesem spannenden Buch nicht nur um ein individuelles Schicksal, sondern auch um die Frage, wie sich der Umgang mit dem Delikt des Kindsmordes und seine Bewertung durch Juristen, Theologen und Mediziner im Laufe der Zeit verändert haben. Denn während in der Antike Kindstötung und Abtreibung als Instrument zur Bevölkerungsregulierung akzeptiert waren und noch im Mittelalter als läßliche Sünde behandelt wurden, kam es im 17. Jahrhundert zu einem Einstellungswandel, der bis heute fortwirkt. Von nun an, so Prosperi, geriet die Furcht vor dem Kindsmord zur Obsession, Abtreibung und Kindstötung wurden zunehmend genauer definiert und das ungeborene und neugeborene Leben zu einer Sache staatlicher Kontrolle. Mit detektivischem Spürsinn und großer erzählerischer Kraft erschließt Prosperi ein bisher kaum beachtetes Kapitel europäischer Kultur- und Geistesgeschichte. Er läßt uns an der Entwicklung eines Diskurses teilhaben, der bis heute von ungebrochener Aktualität ist und dessen zentrale Frage nach wie vor lautet: Wie definiert die westliche Tradition den Beginn des Lebens?

Humanities & Social SciencesNovember 2007EU security governance
by Emil Kirchner, James Sperling
EU security governance assesses the effectiveness of the EU as a security actor. The book has two distinct features. Firstly, it is the first systematic study of the different economic, political and military instruments employed by the EU in the performance of four different security functions. The book demonstrates that the EU has emerged as an important security actor, not only in the non-traditional areas of security, but increasingly as an entity with force projection capabilities. Secondly, the book represents an important step towards redressing conceptual gaps in the study of security governance, particularly as it pertains to the European Union. The book links the challenges of governing Europe's security to the changing nature of the state, the evolutionary expansion of the security agenda, and the growing obsolescence of the traditional forms and concepts of security cooperation. ;

Humanities & Social SciencesJuly 2020Race talk
Languages of racism and resistance in Neapolitan street markets
by Antonia Lucia Dawes
This electronic version has been made available under a Creative Commons (BY-NC-ND) open access license. Race talk is about language use as an anti-racist practice in multicultural city spaces. The book contends that attention to talk reveals the relations of domination and subordination in heterogeneous, ethnically diverse and multilingual contexts, while also helping us to understand how transcultural solidarity might be expressed. Drawing on original ethnographic research conducted on licensed and unlicensed market stalls in in heterogeneous, ethnically diverse and multilingual contexts, this book examines the centrality of multilingual talk to everyday struggles about difference, positionality and entitlement. In these street markets, Neapolitan street vendors work alongside documented and undocumented migrants from Bangladesh, China, Guinea Conakry, Mali, Nigeria and Senegal as part of an ambivalent, cooperative and unequal quest to survive and prosper. As austerity, anti-immigration politics and urban regeneration projects encroached upon the possibilities of street vending, talk across linguistic, cultural, national and religious boundaries underpinned the collective action of street vendors struggling to keep their markets open. The edginess of their multilingual organisation offered useful insights into the kinds of imaginaries that will be needed to overcome the politics of borders, nationalism and radical incommunicability.
