December 2004Philosophie der Kunst
Vorlesung von 1826
by Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, Annemarie Gethmann-Siefert, Jeong-Im Kwon, Karsten Berr
»Nachschriften sind freilich trübe Quellen« - dieses Heideggerdiktum kann gegen die studentischen Nachschriften zu Hegels Ästhetikvorlesungen nicht geltend gemacht werden. Anders als die von Hotho »geschönte« Ästhetik erweisen sie sich als höchst authentisch und bieten einen aufschlußreichen Einblick in Hegels Gedanken zur Rolle der Kunst in der Kulturgeschichte. Unter den vier Berliner Vorlesungen zur Philosophie der Kunst, die Hegel zwischen 1820 und 1829 gehalten hat, ist besonders jene von 1826 brisant. In ausführlicher Auseinandersetzung mit exemplarischen Kunstwerken stellt er hier der sogenannten »These vom Ende der Kunst« die Behauptung von der Unersetzlichkeit der Künste entgegen. Mit der Mitschrift des Studenten von der Pfordten wird eine vollständige Überlieferung dieser Vorlesung nun erstmals publiziert.

May 2023Justice After War
Jus Post Bellum in the 21st Century
by David Chiwon Kwon, Kenneth R. Himes, OFM
Justice After War is aimed especially to both undergraduate and graduate students, as well as the general audience who want to understand the significance of a recent development within the just war tradition, namely, the increasing attention given to the category of jus post bellum (postwar justice and peace). While examining the interrelated challenges of moral and social norms in both political and legal domains, as well as church practices, this work proposes an innovative methodology for linking theology, ethics, and social science so that the ideal and the real can inform each other in the ethics of war and peacebuilding. The main task of this project, then, is to identify what the author views as three key themes of jus post bellum, and three practices that are essential to implementing jus post bellum immediately after a war: just policing, just punishment, and just political participation. David Kwon endeavors to challenge the view of those who suggest that reconciliation, mainly political reconciliation, is the foremost ambition of jus post bellum. Instead, he attempts to justify the proposition that achieving just policing, just punishment, and just political participation are essential to building a just peace, a peace in which the fundamental characteristic must be human security. It thus demonstrates that human security is an oft-neglected theme in the recent discourse of moral theologians and that a more balanced understanding of jus post bellum will direct attention to the elements composing human security in a postwar context.

The novel begins with a scene in which Hae-on’s younger sister imagines a police detective interrogating Han Manu.However, Jeongjun’s alibi turns out to be solid, and no evidence can be pinned on Manu, the identity of the murderer is never discovered. The case remains unsolved for years, throwing the people surrounding the event into turmoil, especially Da-on, who is unable to move on with her life. In the course of the next seventeen years, she undergoes plastic surgery to look like her sister and even gives her own daughter a name very similar to her sister’s, ultimately setting out to discover the truth of what happened, all in hopes that she would recover some ofwhatshehaslost.

FictionThe Cabinet
by Un-su Kim
THE CABINET IS A STORY ABOUT THE DOCUMENTS that record these symptomers and the man who manages the documents in Cabinet 13. This seemingly ordinary, old cabinet is filled with stories that are peculiar, strange, eye-popping, disgusting, enraging, and touching. However, the fast changing world is also full of all sorts of unbelievable things. Perhaps symptomers exist not only in the novel but also in the real world. Perhaps some of us do not accept our past and instead, erase our memories and create new ones. Some of us might want to become a wooden doll or a cat rather than live in pain as a human. And if you look around, you can find those who can love no one but themselves or their alter egos.The narrator is an office worker in his 30s, as ordinary as the cabinet. But he once spent 178 days drinking nothing but cans of beer. And his colleague Son Jeong-eun is a quiet, chubby girl who draws nobody’s attention. But she also has a strange habit of devouring more than 100 pieces of sushi at once. In this novel, the cabinet is a container that holds all the truths of the world. Kim Un-su puts truth into the cabinet “as it is” and keeps it fresh under proper temperature and moisture, utilizing his precise prose and rich style. Each episode, preposterous and weird, is intricately interwoven with the narrator’s story piles atop each other like Lego blocks that form a perfectly assembled structure. Unfolding peculiar and heart-freezing episodes, the author tells us that this is an ‘ordinary’ story and at the same time, the truth “as it is,” as natural as the wind blowing, flowers blossoming and snow falling. The moment you turn the last page of the book, you will come to think about which strange stories are inside your own cabinet. And you will be also curious about what story the author will pull out of his cabinet next time.

Teaching, Language & ReferenceJuly 2017Korean Culture in 100 Keywords
by Cho Yong-hee, Han Yumi, Tcho Hye-young
The 100 keywords for this book have been selected through several rounds of surveys with the students at the Korean Cultural Center in Paris, France. The 100 facts address extensive sectors. The facts have been selected because they not only help French and global learners have an overall understanding of the state of Korea, but also represent the background knowledge necessary to study essential words and grammar in learning Korean from various aspects including culture, history, tradition and society. The 100 keywords thus chosen serve as the topic of each subject. This book has a total of 100 subjects, largely divided in six themes so that learners can easily search the subject they would like to know. The six themes are: Theme 1: Symbolic Icons (10 Subjects) Theme 2: Food, Clothing and Shelter (12 Subjects) Theme 3: Geography and Tourism (21 Subjects) Theme 4: Society & Daily Life (19 Subjects) Theme 5: History and Religion (20 Subjects) Theme 6: Arts and Culture (18 Subjects) Each subject consists of two pages. On the upper left side is a photo that can explain the subject at a glance. Under the photo is a Korean text that introduces contents that must be learned regarding the subject. In order to help the learning, two questions are added to check the learner’s understanding of the text. The answers are provided in the appendices at the end of this book. On the upper right side is the English translation of the Korean text. The translation will serve for learners to measure their level of Korean proficiency in terms of understanding; in addition, it will satisfy the need for Korean learners who have long wanted to have a bilingual textbook. On the bottom is the English translation of each Words and Expressions section to help readers understand the Korean text. Small photos that are relevant to each subject are added to provide greater enjoyment.

GOING PARALLEL IN ENGLISH
by Anastasia G, Chondrakis
The books PARALLEL 1 & 2 - Going parallel in English are based on a very innovative method of teaching English attempting to explore and implement the neurolinguistic approach to language learning. We, the teachers, do not over-analyse but compose meaningful language communicative patterns based on the linguistic mechanisms that language automatically activates for each of us. The learners speak and write in a natural way, utilizing the linguistic instinct , innate in us feeling encouraged to speak, to participate in oral and written dialogues achieving faster than ever effective communication, while at the same time they boost their self-confidence. From the very first lessons they can read, listen, write, and speak the English language that no longer sounds "foreign"! The Parallel® method is a unique teaching approach that can successfully lead the adult beginner to level B2 IN LESS THAN A YEAR, in which, according to the Common European Framework of Languages – CEFR - the learners can: - understand the basic ideas of a text or a business/ social meeting - explain clearly what they want and what they think - develop conversations/arguments - provide a clear and written text on a wide range of topics - state clearly their opinion on a current issue and support the pros and cons of an argument.

March 2021No cliché for this story
by Davide Calì, Anna Aparicio Català
«This is the story of a knight who...» «Oh no! It's time to put an end to the knights who save the princesses! It's a cliché, and sexist over more! The princesses are capable of saving themselves»«Okay, okay, so this is the story of a knight who goes to slay an evil dragon» «Why evil? That's a bit of a cliché too, isn't it?». Our narrator has a very conscious and demanding young reader: she won't accept clichés in this story. No princesses in danger, dragons, and evil witches. And not even violence and alcohol: they are not good for the little readers. But the beautiful stories, from what world it is, are full of clichés and politically incorrect elements... and if you want to take them all away, you get some rather odd results.Perhaps that a cliché is not the end of the world?

October 2021American Bastard
by Jan Beatty
American Bastard is a lyrical inquiry into the experience of being a bastard in America. This memoir travels across literal continents—and continents of desire as Beatty finds her birthfather, a Canadian hockey player who’s won three Stanley Cups—and her birthmother, a working-class woman from Pittsburgh. This is not the whitewashed story, but the real story, where Beatty writes through complete erasure: loss of name and history, and a culture based on the currency of gratitude as expected payment from the adoptee. American Bastard sandblasts the exaltation of adoption in Western culture and the myth of the “chosen baby.” This journey into the relationship of place and body compels and unhinges, with the link between identity and blood history as its driving force. Beatty rescripts the order of things: the horizontal world of the birth table where babies are switched, the complex yard of the body where names and blood shift and revolt, and the actual story into the relationship of place and the insurrection of the body erased. Issues of class and struggle run throughout this book, this narrative river between blood and continents, between work and desire.
