Als Achtj?hriger ist Lukas am?siert, wie ein kleines Nashorn seine Pommes frites zerstampft, und nennt dieses Nashorn ST?MPFCHEN. Seine Mutter macht ihm Kartoffelbrei schmackhafter, indem sie diesen «St?mpfchenbrei» nennt.
Als Elfj?hriger trifft Lukas, der sich jetzt «Lukelf» nennt, auf die gleichaltrige Wanda Lina, die sich «Weidlina» nennt. Zun?chst vertragen sie sich nicht sonderlich, m?ssen sich aber zusammenraufen, als sie im Wald einen Luchs entdecken. Da diese Tierart stark gef?hrdet ist, wollen sie anregen, dass ein leer stehendes Haus zu einem Refugium f?r Luchse gemacht wird. Dann aber erfahren sie, dass dieses Haus zu einer Unterkunft f?r Asylbewerber, vor allem aus Syrien, werden soll. Zun?chst ?rgert sie das; bald aber treffen sie auf Jamila und Ali, zwei syrische Fl?chtlinge in ihrem Alter.
Zusammen mit diesen sowie der kleinen Erika und dem etwas j?ngeren Seppi geraten sie mit Schmugglern aneinander. Werden sie gemeinsam mit diesen Gaunern fertig werden?

Автор: Claude Levi-Strauss

This volume of L?vi-Strauss's writings from 1941 to 1947 bears witness to a period of his work which is often overlooked but which was the crucible for the structural anthropology that he would go on to develop in the years that followed. Like many European Jewish intellectuals, L?vi-Strauss had sought refuge in New York while the Nazis overran and occupied much of Europe. He had already been introduced to Jakobson and structural linguistics but he had not yet laid out an agenda for structuralism, which he would do in the 1950s and 60s. At the same time, these American years were the time when L?vi-Strauss would learn of some of the world's most devastating historical catastrophes – the genocide of the indigenous American peoples and of European Jews. From the beginning of the 1950s, L?vi-Strauss's anthropology tacitly bears the heavy weight of the memory and possibility of the Shoah. To speak of 'structural anthropology zero' is therefore to refer to the source of a way of thinking which turned our conception of the human on its head. But this prequel to Structural Anthropology also underlines the sense of a tabula rasa which animated its author at the end of the war as well as the project – shared with others – of a civilizational rebirth on novel grounds. Published here in English for the first time, this volume of L?vi-Strauss’s texts from the 1940s will be of great interest to students and scholars in anthropology, sociology and the social sciences generally.

Die bayerischen Beh?rden hatten schon seit Jahren Hinweise. Die bayerischen Beh?rden haben schon seit Jahren Hinweise auf m?glichen sexuellen Missbrauch in dem ehemaligen katholischen Piusheim in Baiern bei M?nchen. Bei der regionalen Anlauf- und Beratungsstelle f?r ehemalige Heimkinder in Bayern meldeten sich nach Angaben des Landesjugendamtes zwischen 2012 und 2018 insgesamt 28 fr?here Bewohner des Erziehungsheimes. Was genau sie angaben, im Piusheim erlebt zu haben, konnte der Leiter des Landesjugendamtes, Hans Reinfelder, allerdings nicht sagen. «Eine Differenzierung, ob deren Begr?ndung f?r eine Hilfestellung alleine auf sexuellem Missbrauch beruhte und ob die antragstellenden Personen in der Zeit von 1949 bis 1975 auch zus?tzlich in einem anderen Heim waren, k?nnen wir nicht leisten», teilte er auf Anfrage mit. Die Beratungsstelle wurde im Rahmen des Fonds «Heimerziehung in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland in den Jahren 1949 bis 1975» zum 1. Januar 2012 beim Bayerischen Landesjugendamt eingerichtet. Zum Ende des Jahres 2018 lief dieser Fonds aus. Die Beratungsstelle wird seither vom Freistaat finanziert. Das Piusheim ist inzwischen ins Visier der Justiz geraten. Die Staatsanwaltschaft M?nchen II hat Vorermittlungen gegen einen ehemaligen Erzieher und einen damals angehenden Priester aufgenommen. Ein selbst wegen sexuellen Missbrauchs Angeklagter hatte vor Gericht von seiner Zeit im Piusheim berichtet und die Vorermittlungen damit angesto?en.

Sp?testens seit dem Ausbruch der COVID-19-Pandemie wurde offenkundig, dass das, was gemeinhin unter Natur verstanden wird, als eine Akteurin im internationalen Kraft- und Wirtschaftsgef?ge betrachtet und als solche nicht l?nger ignoriert werden kann. Dass ein Virus ganze L?nder vor den Ruin zu stellen und die globale Wirtschaft in eine ihrer tiefsten Krisen zu st?rzen vermag, verdeutlicht einmal mehr die besondere Aktualit?t kritisch posthumanistischer, neomaterialistischer Theoriebildung sowie der Philosophie Alfred North Whiteheads. Denn beide Ans?tze nehmen eine radikale Neubestimmung von Natur und Materie vor. Hierdurch, so die in Isabella Schlehaiders vorliegendem Buch vorgetragene These, tragen diese Ans?tze nicht nur dazu bei, hegemoniale Konzeptionen des Verh?ltnisses von Natur und Gesellschaft in Frage zu stellen, sondern ebenso dazu, zentrale philosophische und ebenso politisch-soziologische Kategorien und Konzepte wie Handlungsf?higkeit, Gesellschaftlichkeit, Subjektivit?t und Objektivit?t produktiv zu irritieren. Indem auf diese Weise handlungstheoretische Begrifflichkeiten wie Subjektivit?t und Akteur*innenschaft radikal neu konzeptualisiert und aus ihrer bewusstseinsphilosophisch-anthropozentrischen Verengung gel?st werden, er?ffnet sich ein theoretischer Raum, der nicht nur einen Ausweg aus der Kultur-Natur- und damit ebenso aus der Materie-Geist-Dichotomie zu weisen vermag, sondern dar?ber hinaus das Potenzial birgt, den Grundstein f?r eine politische ?kologie jenseits eines romantisierenden, letztlich verdinglichenden Naturschutzes zu legen.

Technological change is exciting as much as it is daunting. The arrival of new digital tools affects consumption patterns, types of employment and working conditions, and can pose challenges to organizations and individuals alike. Indeed, although technological change is a factor for economic growth, it can also be an amplifier, or even a catalyst, of inequality. It is also a social change and interacts in complex ways: technology is both the source and the consequence of social transformation. To understand technological change and to harness its effects, this book studies transformations at different levels (societal, organizational and individual). In its analysis of the subject, it also draws on a number of disciplines of the human and social sciences, such as anthropology, sociology and psychology.

Based around the image of a carousel, this book uses epistemological theory to tackle the paradoxical acceleration and deceleration of time that is experienced by many. The consequence of this paradox is the observance of the past, present and future coinciding, where acceleration is combined with perfect immobility. The Carousel of Time proposes a model that focuses on a complex network of individual actors, and their relation to the analysis, structure and evolution of our socio-cognitive space–time. The first part of the book, «Foundations», presents the key bases of this model, as well as the notions that must be understood and integrated. The book then analyzes the concept of «Space», defining the parameters of the network’s boundaries, and finishes with an exploration of «Time». This third part links the temporality of the network to its spatial characteristics and studies its evolution.

THE LIFE OF THE AUTHOR

An expansive biography of John Milton, including an assessment of his poetry and prose and an account of the ways in which he has been presented over the past three and a half centuries—written by a leading scholar in the field

It is hard to overstate the role that John Milton played in the historical, political and literary controversies of seventeenth century England; his writings and very life challenged the status quo. Living through one of the most tumultuous periods in British history, Milton was involved at every turn. Struggling to reconcile his private beliefs with his involvement with a radical political experiment, a republic which involved the killing of the monarch, his star rose and fell several times during his life. Married three times, struck blind at a cruelly early age, he was a famed pamphleteer and political activist whose revolutionary political credos placed him in mortal danger after the Restoration. Milton’s varied life makes for fascinating reading but it also produced some of the most important poetry in the English language. Paradise Lost, the only poem in English recognized as an epic, challenged conventional thinking on widespread topics from religion and gender equality to the fundamental question of why we behave as we do.

This fascinating new biography is divided into two parts. The first separates the man from the myth, and elucidates the complicated details of Milton’s life from his early years as a literary artist uncertain of his destiny, through his work as a propagandist for the Cromwellian republic, to his rewriting of the Old Testament story of the Fall as a poetic allegory of more recent history. The second looks at how biographers and critics from the seventeenth century to the present day have distorted and manipulated the personality of Milton to suit their biases. Balancing accessibility with academic rigor, this volume:

• Examines the significant aspects of Milton’s life and work, including his poetry and prose, his government writings, his travels, and his final years
• Explores Milton’s Protestant and republican influences in Paradise Lost, Paradise Regained, and his other literary works
• Highlights the differences and similarities between Milton’s poetry and political prose
• Follows the history of biographical and critical presentations of Milton from the seventeenth century onwards, including his adoption as a hero of Romanticism and his survival in the twentieth century as, allegedly, a sceptical humanist
• Addresses modern critiques of Milton in Marxism, Feminism, and other branches of Theory

The Life of the Author: John Milton. Poet and Revolutionary is essential reading for undergraduate and graduate students, university lecturers, and academic researchers in relevant fields, particularly seventeenth century poetry and history, as well as literary biography and the history of criticism.

From populist propaganda attacking knowledge as ‘fake news’ to the latest advances in artificial intelligence, human thought is under unprecedented attack today. If computers can do what humans can do and they can do it much faster, what’s so special about human thought? 

In this new book, bestselling philosopher Markus Gabriel steps back from the polemics to re-examine the very nature of human thought. He conceives of human thinking as a ‘sixth sense’, a kind of sense organ that is closely tied our biological reality as human beings. Our thinking is not a form of data processing but rather the linking together of images and imaginary ideas which we process in different sensory modalities. Our time frame expands far beyond the present moment, as our ideas and beliefs stretch far beyond the here and now. We are living beings and the whole of evolution is built into our life story. In contrast to some of the exaggerated claims made by proponents of AI, Gabriel argues that our thinking is a complex structure and organic process that is not easily replicated and very far from being superseded by computers. 

With his usual wit and intellectual verve, Gabriel combines philosophical insight with pop culture to set out a bold defence of the human and a plea for an enlightened humanism for the 21st century. This timely book will be of great value to anyone interested in the nature of human thought and the relations between human beings and machines in an age of rapid technological change.

Our media systems are in crisis. Run by unaccountable corporations and dominated by agendas and algorithms that are shrouded in mystery, these formerly trusted sources of information and entertainment have lost their way. As consumers, we have plenty of choice, but as citizens we have an abundance of misinformation and misrepresentation.

In this incisive manifesto, four prominent media scholars and activists put forth a roadmap for radical reform of concentrated media power. They argue that we should put media justice, economic democracy and social equality at the heart of our scholarship and our campaigning.

The Media Manifesto delivers a sharp analysis of our communications crisis and a passionate call for urgent change. It provides resources of hope for media reform movements across the globe.

Автор: Martin Heidegger

This volume comprises the lecture course that Heidegger gave in 1941 on the metaphysics of German Idealism. The first part of the lecture course contains a preliminary consideration of the distinction between ground and existence. The elucidation of the conceptual history includes a striking confrontation with Kierkegaard’s and Jaspers’ concepts of existence, as well as an elucidation of the concept of existence in Being and Time , which Heidegger distinguishes from the former concepts. Heidegger’s self-interpretation is not an end in itself, however, but rather a way of pointing to Schelling’s distinction between ground and existence, whose root and inner necessity and whose various versions Heidegger discusses subsequently. The second part of the lecture course is focused on Schelling’s “freedom treatise,” which Heidegger regards as the pinnacle of the metaphysics of German Idealism. Heidegger’s consideration of Schelling’s distinction between ground and existence finds its guiding thread in the introduction of the realms of being – eternal or finite, each being is a joining of the ground of existence and existence itself. In a subsequent overview, Heidegger discusses the relation of the distinction between ground and existence to the essence of human freedom and to the essence of the human. On the basis of this discussion, it becomes possible to grasp the connection between freedom and evil in Schelling’s system. This important work by Heidegger, published here in English for the first time, will be of great interest to students and scholars of philosophy and to anyone interested in Heidegger’s work.

It is time for philosophy to return to the city. In today’s crisis-ridden world of globalised capitalism, increasingly closed in on itself, it may seem harder than ever to think of ways out. Philosophy runs the risk of becoming the handmaiden of science and of a hollowed-out democracy. Donatella Di Cesare calls on philosophy instead to return to the political fray and to the city, the global p?lis , from which it was banished after the death of Socrates. Suggesting a radical existentialism and a new anarchism, Di Cesare shows that Western philosophy has been characterised by a political vocation ever since its origins in ancient Greece, and argues that the separation of philosophy from its political roots robs it of its most valuable and enlightening potential. But critique and dissent are no longer enough. Mindful of a defeated exile and an inner emigration, philosophers should return to politics and forge an alliance with the poor and the downtrodden. This passionate defence of the political relevance of philosophy and its radical potential in our globalised world will be of great interest to students and scholars of philosophy and to a wide general readership.

Populism is an expression of anger; its appeal stems from being presented as the solution to disorder in our times. The vision of democracy, society, and the economy it offers is coherent and attractive. At a time when the words and slogans of the left have lost much of their power to inspire, Pierre Rosanvallon takes populism for what it is: the rising ideology of the twenty-first century. In  The Populist Century  he develops a rigorous theoretical account of populism, distinguishing five key features that make up populist political culture; he retraces its history in modern democracies from the mid-nineteenth century to the present; and he offers a well-reasoned critique of populism, outlining a robust democratic alternative. This wide-ranging and insightful account of the theory and practice of populism will be of great interest to students and scholars in politics and the social sciences and to anyone concerned with the key political questions of our time.
