Abstract: Österreich ist noch heute nach wie vor stark von den Bemühungen um die Wiedererrichtung eines österreichischen Staates und die Schaffung einer neuen „österreichischen“ Identität nach 1945 geprägt. Dieser Band konzentriert sich auf die Zweite Österreichische Republik und versucht insbesondere, Aspekte der Nations- und Staatsbildung zu untersuchen. Dabei wird eine multidisziplinäre Perspektive eingenommen, die Erkenntnisse aus Geschichte, Soziologie und Kulturwissenschaften zusammenführt. Mit Themen, die von der Rolle Südtirols in der österreichischen Identitätsbildung über nationale Symbolik, Immigration, Denkmäler, Musik, österreichische Literatur und Energieinfrastruktur reichen, bietet der Band eine Momentaufnahme der aktuellen Forschung zur Zweiten Republik.

Abstract: In den Mittelpunkt der Schrift stellt Nicolaus Cusanus die Figur eines Laien (idiota), der – als Gegenpol zum universitär ausgebildeten Philosophen – den einfachen Ungebildeten und damit die wahre Weisheit repräsentiert, die dem Geist des Menschen und seinen Potentialen entspricht. Statt auf Bücherwissen und Autoritäten setzt er auf das eigene Philosophieren, das immer neu nach der Wahrheit fragt. Der Laie verkörpert die cusanische Philosophie in besonderem Maße: Fundamentale anthropologische, erkenntnistheoretische und metaphysische Bestimmungen des Cusanus finden sich hier in einer Gestalt vereint. Aus dem Wissen heraus, dass menschliches Erkennen immer nur mutmaßend sein kann, geht es um das rechte kritische Verhältnis zu den eigenen Erkenntnismöglichkeiten. An der Figur des Laien macht Cusanus deutlich, dass dies keineswegs in einen erkenntnistheoretischen Skeptizismus führt, der die Möglichkeit sicheren Wissens von vornherein für nicht erreichbar und infolgedessen alle Erkenntnisbemühungen für überflüssig hält, sondern dass darin das unendliche und dynamische Potential des Menschen zum Ausdruck kommt, sich unermüdlich an die Wahrheit anzunähern. In der Geschichte der Erkenntnistheorie vor Kant spielt "Der Laie über den Geist" somit eine fundamentale Rolle. (www.degruyter.com)

Abstract: Several times in the course of Earth's history, climate cataclysm has considerably changed the planet, at the same time offering the ecological niche for the emergence of new life-forms. One of the best ways to examine these changes are modofications in the plant world. In the Eastern Alps, especially in the Dolomites from the Carboniferous over the whole Permian an Triassic, we have a mainly uninterrupted succession of sediments that contain abundant plant fossils.

Abstract: This volume explores familial wealth arrangements and gendered property from the fourteenth to the nineteenth centuries in Italian, German and Austrian territories (including Florence, Trento, Tyrol, and Vienna), Nordic countries, Western Pyrenees, and England. Family property as capital in the form of houses, land, movables, financial assets, and rights were of great importance in the past. Arrangements of such property were characterised by a high degree of negotiating competence but likewise they entailed competition between the parties involved and were highly conflict prone. Fifteen contributors from Austria, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, and the UK address different marital property regimes in relation to the practices and legal regulations of inheritance patterns with consideration to inter-familial negotiation, conflict, and resolution.

Lingua: Inglese (lingua del testo, colonna sonora, ecc.)
Abstract: This policy analysis examines geopolitical and sociocultural bordering practices in Europe's cross-border regions and their impact on civil society participation and governance in state peripheries. The normative hope of democratisation and the legitimisation of European politics in European Union border regions are connected with a greater degree of cross-border citizen engagement in Euroregional institutions and politics. Using the example of the European Grouping of Territorial Cooperation, this study analyses and compares four cross-border Euroregional case studies: Tyrol-South Tyrol-Trentino, Galicia-North Portugal, SaarMoselle and the planned German-Polish TransOderana EGTC.

Abstract: This collection presents the state of the art on English-medium instruction (EMI) / Integrating content and language (ICL) in Italian higher education, drawing attention to different critical aspects of the teaching/learning experience and highlighting the perspectives of various educational stakeholders regarding the effectiveness of tertiary study in a foreign language. The chapters draw on a range of methodologies, from multimodal participant observation, to action research, to video-stimulated recall (VSR), to questionnaires and interviews, in examining language policies and practices across various educational settings. Overall, the volume suggests that internationalisation succeeds best when the form of lessons (language) and the content of lessons (disciplinary concepts) are constructively aligned in curriculum planning and delivery. This integration process requires the strategic support of educators to guarantee the quality of learning in multilingual education.

Abstract: "The Routledge Companion to the Reception of Italian Fascist Architecture investigates what has become of the architectural and urban projects of Italian Fascism, how sites have been transformed or adapted, and what constitutes the meaning of these buildings and cities today. Essays include a rich array of new arguments by both senior and early career scholars from Italy and beyond. They examine the reception of fascist architecture through studies of destruction and adaptation, debates over re-use, artistic interventions, and even routine daily practices, which may slowly alter collective understandings of such places. Paolo Portoghesi sheds light on the subject from his internal perspective, while Harald Bodenschatz situates Italy among period totalitarian authorities and their symbols across Europe. Section editors frame, synthesize and moderate essays that explore Fascism's afterlife; how the physical legacy of the regime has been altered and preserved and what it means now. This critical history of interpretations of fascist-era architecture and urban projects broadens our understanding of the relationships among politics, identity, memory and place. This Companion will be of interest to students and scholars in a range of fields including: Italian history, architectural history, cultural studies, visual sociology, political science and art history"--

Abstract: Den Moosen und Lebermoosen wird oft wenig Beachtung geschenkt, weil sie klein und schwer bestimmbar sind. Tatsächlich aber faszinieren diese grazilen Organismen durch ihre Schönheit im Detail und durch ihre Fähigkeit, auch an den extremsten Standorten zu existieren. In diesem Buch wird die Artenvielfalt dieser Organismengruppe am Alpenhauptkamm in Nord- und Südtirol aufgezeigt. Triebfeder der Untersuchungen waren die subfossilen Moose und Lebermoose, die an der Fundstelle des „Ötzi“, seiner Kleidung und an seinen sterblichen Überresten geborgen wurden. Es folgte die Kartierung einer rund 200 km² großen Untersuchungsfläche rund um die Fundstelle des Mannes im Eis, wobei sich mehrere Neufunde für die Region und Korrekturen der Höhenverbreitungsgrenzen ergaben.

Abstract: This volume presents a selection of eight papers presented at three symposia on English for Specific Purposes (ESP) and English for Academic Purposes (EAP) that were held at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, Italy. The experiences detailed in the chapters offer a representative sample of the diversity of approaches to teaching and assessing ESP and EAP that were shared on those occasions. The contributions vary markedly by teaching and research context: whereas some report the results of meticulously planned research projects, others describe in detail cases embedded in specific contexts in Italy and in the US, others analyse the specialised language of particular discourses or domains, or reflect upon teaching methods and materials.

Abstract: Ezra Pound, T. S. Eliot, and Wyndham Lewis have all, to varying degrees, been the subject of studies that explore their ideology. All too often, however, these studies have not tackled the issue adequately, limiting their analytical approach to fascism or other phenomena such as anti-Semitism. Frequently, they have also sought to exculpate these writers or to normalise their political tendencies in an effort to circumnavigate the dilemma of how to address the paradox of right-wing artists who are both harbingers and opponents of the imagined trajectory of progressive modernity. This interdisciplinary study analyses the connections between literary Modernism and right-wing ideology. Moreover, it is the first academic study to explore the reception of these Modernist authors by today's far right, seeking to understand in what ways they use strategic readings of Modernist texts to legitimise right-wing ideology. By raising fundamental questions about the relationship between aesthetics and politics, this study ultimately challenges its readers to see their cultural practices as political. It wants to make visible and problematize the interdependencies of right-wing ideology and cultural production as well as reception in order to explain the (far) Right as a phenomenon deeply rooted in European history and cultural development. It thus lays bare the misconceptions, the gaps as well as the complicity in the debate about right-wing ideology in literature. (www.logos-verlag.com)

Abstract: Me and Fashion is a constellation of fashion photographs made by Brigitte Niedermair (born 1971) over the past 20 years. These images show how, informed by her parallel creative path as an independent art photographer, she continues to query and utilize her female perspective to expand the conventions and biases of the fashion image system. Niedermair's photographic collaborators and subjects tend to have training as dancers and can transform themselves into the material expression of the body as a language, adopting an "attitude of resistance" toward the camera. Me and Fashion is published for Niedermair's exhibition at the Museo di Palazzo Mocenigo during the 2019 Venice Biennale. Working with acclaimed photography curator Charlotte Cotton, Niedermair responds to the atmosphere of each room of the Palazzo Mocenigo, replacing historic paintings with her fashion and still-life photographs to both amplify and counter the embedded subtexts of gender and identity that permeate these predominantly 17th-century interiors.

Abstract: What happens to the European dream when it meets the dream of migrants? Is this Europe, raising external barriers and restoring internal borders, still responding to the ideals and values on which it was founded? Is it possible to protect our achievements – freedom, respect of human rights and welfare – without denying them to others? These are some of the questions Europa Dreaming tries to answer. The book is based on the award-winning interdisciplinary web project Europa Dreaming. It further expands and develops the web project’s contents and retrospectively reflects the design process behind it. https://bupress.unibz.it/de/produkt/europa-dreaming/

Abstract: George never cook and always eat out. Back in 1969, however, the artist duo hosted The Meal , an elaborate dinner party that included thirteen guests, Princess Margaret's butler, a chef who prepared a meal from a Victorian cookery manual, and the guest of honor, artist David Hockney. While the art world of the time was largely characterized by Pop art, Minimalism, and Conceptual art, Gilbert & George developed an entirely unique philosophy and combined their daily lives with their artistic vision, in short, their art and life are one! Charlotte Birnbaum took a trip to London's East End to visit the immaculately dressed pair to discuss The Meal and other curious projects from their fifty-year collaboration. Also included here are photos and memorabilia from the singular event.

Abstract: In Costa Rica Time Warp zeigen sich Kinder, denen Ludwig Thalheimer begegnete, als er sich 1986 in Costa Rica aufhielt. Er traf sie an öffentlichen Orten, auf den Straßen, wo sie Zeitungen verkauften, Autos wuschen, in den Verkaufsständen ihrer Eltern mithalfen. Es sind Kinder, die auf den Straßen ihre Zuflucht suchten, oder auch solche, die in behüteten Gated Communities aufwuchsen. Sie erzählten dem Photographen von ihrem Leben, ihren Wünschen und ihren Träumen für die Zukunft. Nach über 30 Jahren wollte Ludwig Thalheimer wissen, was aus diesen Kindern von damals geworden ist. 2017 machte er sich auf die Suche nach ihnen, um sie wiederzufinden, sie erneut zu Photographieren und ihre Lebenswege aufzuzeichnen. Das Buch gewährt einen unsentimentalen und doch berührenden Einblick in sehr unterschiedliche individuelle Lebensgeschichten. https://www.dgph.de/presse_news/aktuelle_buecher/aktuelle-buecher-im-dezember

Abstract: The Handbook has in the meantime come to be regarded as a standard reference work, with its findings also being used on a Europe-wide basis and having become a “tool of the trade” for political decision-makers. Since those initial publications, though, an acute need has become visible for an update. This has resulted from political and demographic changes in Europe, new legal and political developments and new findings in minorities research. All of these new developments have been included in the most broad-reaching form possible with the compilation of this second edition.
