Humanities & Social SciencesJuly 2022Crossing borders and queering citizenship
Civic reading practice in contemporary American and Canadian writing
by Zalfa Feghali
Can reading make us better citizens? In Crossing borders and queering citizenship, Feghali crafts a sophisticated theoretical framework to theorise how the act of reading can contribute to the queering of contemporary citizenship in North America. Providing sensitive and convincing readings of work by both popular and niche authors, including Gloria Anzaldúa, Dorothy Allison, Gregory Scofield, Guillermo Gómez-Peña, Erín Moure, Junot Díaz, and Yann Martel, this book is the first to not only read these authors together, but also to discuss how each powerfully resists the exclusionary work of state-sanctioned citizenship in the U.S. and Canada. This book convincingly draws connections between queer theory, citizenship studies, and border studies and sheds light on how these connections can reframe our understanding of American Studies.

Orphanhood, kinship and cultural memory in contemporary American novels
by Maria Holmgren Troy, Sharon Monteith, Elizabeth Kella, Nahem Yousaf, Helena Wahlstrom
Making home explores the figure of the orphan child in a broad selection of contemporary US novels by popular and critically acclaimed authors Barbara Kingsolver, Linda Hogan, Leslie Marmon Silko, Marilynne Robinson, Michael Cunningham, Jonathan Safran Foer, John Irving, Kaye Gibbons, Octavia Butler, Jewelle Gomez and Toni Morrison. The orphan child is a continuous presence in US literature, not only in children's books and nineteenth-century texts, but also in a variety of genres of contemporary fiction for adults. Making home examines the meanings of this figure in the contexts of American literary history, social history and ideologies of family, race and nation. It argues that contemporary orphan characters function as links to literary history and national mythologies, even as they may also serve to critique the limits of literary history, as well as the limits of familial and national belonging.

November 2020Empirische Ethik
Grundlagentexte aus Psychologie und Philosophie
by Norbert Paulo, Jan Christoph Bublitz
Seit der Jahrtausendwende vollzieht sich eine interessante Wiederannäherung von Moralphilosophie und Moralpsychologie. Die neue empirische Ethik greift auf Methoden und Erkenntnisse der Psychologie und der Neurowissenschaft zurück, um klassische Fragen der Ethik zu beantworten. Aber sie wirft auch ihrerseits Fragen auf: Welche Rolle spielen Emotionen und Intuitionen im moralischen Denken, und welche Rolle sollen sie spielen? Können Moraltheorien wie Tugendethik oder Deontologie durch empirische Befunde gestützt werden oder werden sie dadurch geschwächt? Der Band versammelt die zentralen, bislang nicht auf Deutsch zugänglichen Texte dieser Debatte, u. a. von Joshua Greene, Jonathan Haidt, Peter Singer und Sharon Street, und ergänzt sie durch vertiefende Originalbeiträge.
