Conspiracy in the French Revolution

by Peter R. Campbell, Thomas Kaiser, Marisa Linton

Conspiratorial views of events abound even in our modern, rational world. Often such theories serve to explain the inexplicable. Sometimes they are developed for motives of political expediency: it is simpler to see political opponents as conspirators and terrorists, putting them into one convenient basket, than to seek to understand and disentangle the complex motivations of opponents. So it is not surprising to see that just when the French Revolution was creating the modern political world, a constant obsession with conspiracies lay at the heart of the revolutionary conception of politics. The book considers the nature and development of the conspiracy obsession from the end of the old regime to the Directory. Chapters focus on conspiracy and fears of conspiracy in the old regime; in the Constituent Assembly; by the king and Marie Antoinette; amongst the people of Paris; on attitudes towards the peasantry and conspiracy; on Jacobin politics of the Year II and the 'foreign plot'; on counter-revolutionary plots and imaginary plots; on Babeuf and the 'conspiracy of equals'; and finally on fear of conspiracy as an intellectual impasse in the revolutionary mentality. Inspired by recent debates, this book is a comprehensive survey of the nature of conspiracy in the French Revolution, with each chapter written by a leading historian on the question. Each chapter is an original contribution to the topic, written however to include the wider issues for the area concerned. There is an emphasis throughout on clarity and accessibility, making the volume suitable for a wide readership as well as undergraduates and advanced researchers ;

Cultural and Ethnic Diversity

How European Psychologists Can Meet the Challenges

by Alexander Thomas

Culture and diversity are both challenge and opportunity. This volume looks at what psychologists are and can be doing to help society meet the challenges and grasp the opportunities in education, at work, and in clinical practice. The increasingly international and globalized nature of modern societies means that psychologists in particular face new challenges and have new opportunities in all areas of practice and research. The contributions from leading European experts cover relevant intercultural issues and topics in areas as diverse as personality, education and training, work and organizational psychology, clinical and counselling psychology, migration and international youth exchanges. As well as looking at the new challenges and opportunities that psychologists face in dealing with people from increasingly varied cultural backgrounds, perhaps more importantly they also explain and discuss how psychologists can deepen and acquire the intercultural competencies that are now needed in our professional lives. Target Group: psychotherapists / clinical psychologists / mental health professionals

magazine

by Adam Green, Thomas Meinecke

What am I doing in New York City? fragt der jüngste und vielversprechendste Songwriter New Yorks, ein Aufnahmegerät in der Hand, ein Notizbuch griffbereit in der Hosentasche. Und was ihm einfällt, landet entweder als Song im Recorder und später auf CD oder im Heft und wird zum pulsierenden Text: Eine Zeitlang sammelte Adam Green seine Textproduktion jenseits der Musik in Fanzines, den sogenannten magazines. Jetzt sind diese, zusammen mit dem Langgedicht "Flowers of Capitalism" und anderen zwischen 2001 und 2004 entstandenen Texten, erstmals in Buchform erhältlich.

Satin Island

Roman | Werden die besten Gegenwartsdiagnosen in den mächtigen Finanzzentren erstellt?

by Tom McCarthy, Thomas Melle

Im Bauch eines Glas- und Stahlbaus verfasst der promovierte Ethnologe U. auf internen Memos eines weltweit tätigen Beratungsunternehmens den »Großen Bericht«: Diese universale Gegenwartsdiagnose soll Trends und Tendenzen aufspüren, denn nur wer die Menschen versteht, kann sie zu Konsumenten machen. Den einen Bericht über diese Welt zu schreiben, in der man sich chronisch zwischen zwei Orten befindet, erweist sich jedoch als knifflig. Zumal die Geschichte sich zu schnell fortschreibt – und wer sie mitschreibt, kann sie nicht gleichzeitig erfassen. Als Forscher und Gegenstand zu verschwimmen und die allumfassende, sinnstiftende Erzählung zu scheitern drohen, eröffnet ein Traum von einer apokalyptischen Stadtlandschaft samt gigantischer Müllverbrennungsanlage neue Perspektiven. Werden die besten Gegenwartsdiagnosen in den mächtigen Finanzzentren erstellt? Tom McCarthy unternimmt nichts Geringeres als den Versuch, unsere Zeit zu vermessen – und bringt dabei eine ihrer tiefenschärfsten Analysen hervor!
