Literarische Figurationen der Gewaltherrschaft vom 18. Jahrhundert bis zur Gegenwart
Author:
Tyrannen stehen in Kulturen seit der Antike mit Gewalt, Herrschaft, Willkür und Hybris in Beziehung, insbesondere ab dem 18. Jahrhundert treten sie in literarischen Texten zudem als narzisstische, gierige und manipulative Männerfiguren in Erscheinung, zeigen sich jedoch auch belehrend oder unbelehrbar und wirken monströs oder kreatürlich.
Tyrannenfiguren und die Gewaltherrschaft der Tyrannis sind politisch und ästhetisch konstruiert. Die interdisziplinäre Studie verschränkt ästhetische Theorien mit der Analyse von politischen Imaginationen der Tyrannis in literarischen Texten. Staatstheoretische Erörterungen (Aristoteles, Machiavelli, Hobbes, Arendt), die Reflexion tyrannischer Männlichkeiten (Theweleit, Connell, Bourdieu), die Kulturtheorien von Freud, Benjamin, Elias und Foucault sowie die Ästhetiktheorien von Baumgarten, Schopenhauer, Rosenkranz und Nietzsche bilden die Grundlage für die Untersuchung der literarischen Tyrannis-Figurationen. Ästhetiken der Tyrannis werden in Texten von Dante, Gellert, Wieland, Schiller, Bettina von Arnim, George, Thomas und Heinrich Mann, Ebner-Eschenbach, Kafka, Bronnen, Camus und Süskind mit einem Ausblick auf Millers Film MAD MAX: FURY ROAD analysiert. Hierbei stehen antike Tyrannen, Künstlertyrannen, Haustyrannen, Lehrertyrannen und dystopische Tyrannen im Fokus, verbunden mit den Themenbereichen Räume, Binnenkunstwerke, Theatralität und Spiel im Spiel sowie Morden und Tyrannenmord.
Die Studie untersucht die seit dem 18. Jahrhundert andauernde ästhetisch-literarische Affinität von Kulturen zur Gewaltherrschaft und beinhaltet zugleich eine kritische Reflexion der Tyrannis.

This edited volume powerfully captures autoethnographies of international doctoral students in the U.S. and unravels a plethora of their experiences that oscillate between challenges and triumphs of navigating in-betweenness in their unique journeys. The concepts of border-crossing and in-betweenness encapsulate more than just a mere geographic displacement. Rather, they delineate the intricate dance of cultural, emotional, intellectual, and oftentimes, spiritual, transitions, often fraught with tension and self-reflection. As such, 12 chapters in this book will provide the readers with invaluable insights and foster a deeper empathy and understanding of the complexities faced by international students in the U.S.

The Baltic Yearbook of International Law is published under the auspices of the Baltic Editorial Board within the framework of cooperation between the Riga Graduate School of Law and Brill/Nijhoff Publishers. The Yearbook aims to bring to the international debate issues of importance in the Baltic States, providing a forum for views on topical international law themes from Baltic and international scholars. The first volume appeared in 2001 with a symposium on the question of the international legal status of the Baltic States.
The Yearbook contains state practice reports from Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania and thus serves as an important source of international law unavailable elsewhere.
This volume carries particularly extensive practice reports because they exemplify the position of the Baltic States on relevant international law and State practice with regards to the full-scale invasion by the Russian Federation of Ukraine in February 2022.
From time to time the Yearbook offers articles discussing the history of international law and current issues in Eastern Europe and the Russian Federation, thus making regional discourse more accessible to a wider global audience.
Volume 22 starts with a symposium, based on the European Society of International Law’s "Regional Developments of International Law in Eastern Europe and Post-Soviet Eurasia" research forum, which was held on 27-28 April 2023 at the University of Tartu, Estonia. The general articles section in this volume is a case study of Latvia’s response to the migration crisis on the Latvia-Belarus border.

Decorating the Württemberg Church during the Reformation
Author:
The Beauty of Belief sheds new light on Lutheran relationships with ecclesiastical decoration in southwest Germany following the Duchy of Württemberg’s Reformation in 1534. Based on extensive original archival research and engagement with surviving images and objects, Róisín Watson compellingly demonstrates how Lutherans moved away from initial acts of iconoclasm and towards embracing the possibilities of the religious image in their devotional routines. She explores the interactions of Württemberg rulers, pastors, and congregations with their ecclesiastical spaces across the political upheavals of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. In doing so, this book tells not only the story of the visual culture of the Reformation, but an account of Württemberg’s Reformation itself.

Entwurf einer kritischen Sozialontologie
Author:
Eine Forderung der feministischen Kritik an die Philosophie ist aus historischen, pragmatischen und logischen Gründen ihr Aufhören. Das ‚Ende der Philosophie‘, das der Feminismus fordert, ist ein Projekt der Aufhebung von ‚Strukturen der Ungleichheit‘. Die Ontologie als ‚Erste Philosophie‘ handelt vom Seienden als Unveränderlichem. Diese Außergeschichtlichkeit, aber auch die feministische Dekonstruktion formulieren eine Absage an eine transzendentalpragmatische Bedeutungstheorie, die im Buch als Teil einer kritischen Sozialontologie rekonstruiert wird. Bedeutungspermanenz ist dabei ein Schlüsselbegriff zum Verständnis unseres ideengeschichtlichen Standpunktes. Das Buch kreist um drei Themen: Erstens geht es um ein Verständnis von Bedeutungen als andauernd; zweitens um das Problem, dass Bedeutungen Ungleichheit festschreiben; drittens um die Probleme der zeitgenössischen Sozialontologie mit einer angemessenen Darstellung der Bedeutungspermanenz und ihrer Folgen.

Proceedings of the Sixteenth International Symposium of the Orion Center for the Study of the Dead Sea Scrolls and Associated Literature, Cosponsored by the University of Vienna, New York University, the Israel Antiquities Authority, and the Israel Museum
Volume Editors:
, , , , , and
The Sixteenth Orion Symposium celebrated seventy years of Dead Sea Scrolls research under the theme, “Clear a path in the wilderness!” (Isaiah 40:3). Papers use the wilderness rubric to address the self-identification of the Qumran group; dimensions of religious experience reflected in the Dead Sea writings; biblical interpretation as shaper and conveyor of that experience; the significance of the Qumran texts for critical biblical scholarship; points of contact with the early Jesus movement; and new developments in understanding the archaeology of the Qumran caves. The volume both honors past insights and charts new paths for the future of Qumran studies.

English Translation with Edited Syriac Text
Author:
The Book of Union by Babai the Great (d. 628) is a compendium of christological texts by the famed author at a time when the christological position of the Assyrian Church of the East (also known as the ‘Church of the East’ or the ‘Church of Persia’) became crystalized.
It is the finest representation of the Christology of the Church in Persia, in contrast to diaphysite expression of Byzantium in the Roman East, and the miaphysite expression of the Church in Alexandria and its dependencies. The christological expression of the Church of the East was standardized and canonized by Babai in his christological magnum opus. Accompanied by an introduction and English translation, this volume presents an indispensable text for the study of Christology and its development.

Introduction, Translation, and Commentary
Author:
In the treatise On the Change of Names (part of his magnum opus, the Allegorical Commentary), Philo of Alexandria brings his figurative exegesis of the Abraham cycle to its fruition. Taking a cue from Platonist interpreters of Homer’s Odyssey, Philo reads Moses’s story of Abraham as an account of the soul’s progress and perfection. Responding to contemporary critics, who mocked Genesis 17 as uninspired, Philo finds instead a hidden philosophical reflection on the ineffability of the transcendent God, the transformation of souls which recognize their mortal nothingness, the possibility of human faith enabled by peerless faithfulness of God, and the fruit of moral perfection: joy divine, prefigured in the birth of Isaac.
