Описание: Walt Whitman wrote: «The real war will never get into the books.» To this day, however, American soldier-authors write about their war and translate traumatic experiences into language accessible to the reader. Veterans of the recent Iraq war do not differ here. Joining the post-draft American military, the selected soldier-authors are thrust into a conflict which soon exceeded governmental, military and public expectations. Focusing on core elements which link the selected military memoirs of Nathaniel Fick, Colby Buzzell, Clint Van Winkle, John Crawford and Matt Gallagher together, this book follows the soldier-authors’ process of soldierization, their loss of innocence, moral responsibility and, finally, coping mechanisms for traumatic experiences sustained in combat.

Описание: The Great War did not only mark the history of the twentieth century: to a large extent, the conflict also affected culture and literature in Europe and the rest of the world. This collection of essays aims to provide the reader with a broad and transdisciplinary perspective on the cultural and political impact of the Great War. Using a comparative approach and focusing on Catalonia and Spain, this volume reflects the enormous variety of representations of the ‘theatre of war’ in both neutral and belligerent countries, causing a significant rejuvenation in fiction and journalistic genres in the subsequent decades. This book features essays by some of the most important specialists in the First World War from Spain, Italy, Portugal, the United Kingdom and Latin America, who, in the centenary of the conflict, provide an innovative critical approach to this crucial event in contemporary history.

This book is a contribution towards a better understanding of the nature of the international crime of human trafficking. It is an impulse towards finding a new way at the international levels, and encouraging cooperation among nations in the fight against human trafficking and its root causes. The author analyzes human trafficking, which can be termed as «modern-day slavery» and in its complexity and dynamism ends up in the exploitation of the victims for the personal gains of a person or group of persons. A majority of the victims, especially women, end up in the sex industries. In most cases people are transported from the so-called underdeveloped to supposedly developed regions. As a result, women and girls are smuggled yearly from underdeveloped countries, for example Nigeria, to Europe and America.
Автор: Thede Kahl, Aleksandra Salamurovic Название: Das Erbe der Slawenapostel im 21. Jahrhundert / The Legacy of the Apostles of the Slavs in the 21st Century: Nationale und europaeische Perspektiven / National and European Perspectives ISBN: 3631659113 ISBN-13(EAN): 9783631659113 Издательство: Peter Lang Рейтинг: Цена: 78710.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Die Heiligen Kyrill und Method spielen durch ihre Bibel?bersetzung und die Schaffung eines slawischen (glagolitischen) Alphabets eine herausragende Rolle f?r die religi?se, kulturelle und nationale Identit?t der Slawen. Die Beitr?ge dieses Bandes aus Kultur-, Literatur- und Sprachwissenschaft setzen sich mit dem geistigen Erbe der Slawenapostel im 21. Jahrhundert auseinander. Dabei stehen Erinnerungsdiskurse und die Schriftfrage im Mittelpunkt des Interesses. Die zahlreichen Funktionen ihres Erbes – Integration, Emanzipation und Abgrenzung – zeigen eine durchgehende Dynamik zwischen s?dslawischen, allgemein slawischen und europ?ischen Entwicklungslinien, die bis ins das 21. Jahrhundert wirken. Somit ist die Auseinandersetzung mit ihrem kulturellen Erbe noch lange nicht ersch?pft. The saints Cyril and Methodius play a prominent role for the religious, cultural and national aspects of Slavic identity owing to their translation of the Bible and the creation of a Slavic (Glagolitic) alphabet. The contributions to this volume, from the fields of cultural, literary and linguistic studies, discuss the spiritual legacy of the Slavic Apostles in the 21st century. The countless roles of their legacy (integration, emancipation, differentiation) demonstrate continuous dynamics between south Slavic, general Slavic and European lines of development that continue to operate in the 21st century. Thus, the debate on their cultural legacy has not yet been fully exhausted.
Advances in genetics are renewing controversies over inherited characteristics, and the discourse around science and technological innovations has taken on racial overtones, such as attributing inherited physiological traits to certain ethnic groups or using DNA testing to determine biological links with ethnic ancestry. This book contributes to the discussion by opening up previously locked concepts of the relation between the terms color, race, and “Jews”, and by engaging with globalism, multiculturalism, hybridity, and diaspora. The contributors—leading scholars in anthropology, sociology, history, literature, and cultural studies—discuss how it is not merely a question of whether Jews are acknowledged to be interracial, but how to address academic and social discourses that continue to place Jews and others in a race/color category.
Название: Fictions of the irish land war ISBN: 3034309996 ISBN-13(EAN): 9783034309998 Издательство: Peter Lang Рейтинг: Цена: 70570.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: The eruption of rural distress in Ireland and the foundation of the Land League in 1879 sparked a number of novels, stories and plays forming an immediate response to what became known as the Irish Land war. These works form a literary genre of their own and illuminate both the historical events themselves and the material conditions of reading and writing in late nineteenth-century Ireland. Divisions into ‘us’ and ‘them’ were convenient for political reasons, but the fiction of the period frequently modifies this alignment and draws attention to the complexity of the land problem. This collection includes studies of canonical land war novels, publication channels, collaborations between artists and authors, literary conventions and the interplay between personal experience and literary output. It also includes unique resources such as a reprinted letter by the author Mary Anne Sadlier and a reproduction of Rosa Mulholland’s little-known play Our Boycotting. The book concludes with a detailed bibliography of land war fiction between 1879 and 1916, which should inspire further reading and research into the genre.
Название: Karl hanssen`s memoirs of his wartime experiences in samoa and new zealand ISBN: 3631667280 ISBN-13(EAN): 9783631667286 Издательство: Peter Lang Рейтинг: Цена: 66470.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Karl Hanssen’s memoirs provide an invaluable outsider’s view of life in New Zealand prisons and a unique perspective on German Samoa under New Zealand occupation. In October 1915, Hanssen, manager of the DHPG, a large German copra production company, was sent from Samoa to New Zealand to serve a six-month sentence imposed by a New Zealand military court for bypassing war censorship regulations. He served his sentence in a number of prisons in New Zealand, including two months in the high-security prison, Mt Eden. Hanssen’s memoirs – in English translation and in the original German – are made available for the first time in this edition, which also features photos from his Samoan album and a comprehensive introduction by Bronwyn Chapman on the historical and political background.
Автор: Raich, Lola Название: Africa in 21st century us and eu agendas ISBN: 3631672470 ISBN-13(EAN): 9783631672471 Издательство: Peter Lang Рейтинг: Цена: 59710.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: This book investigates issues pertaining to the US and EU agendas in Africa since the dawn of the new century. It discusses how the African continent has featured within the US and EU foreign policy agendas, by looking at ensuing gaps between a rhetoric that claimed to have put Africa within the high politics agenda and the reality. The case studies analyse the reasons for the very different acknowledgements of USAFRICOM and JAES P&S, even though both policies state to aim the same: support Africa in tackling its own security concerns. The book concludes with a deliberation on which of the two outlooks seems to offer an appropriate approach to the context and which offers pragmatic solutions.
Название: Vietnam`s ethnic and religious minorities: ISBN: 3631660421 ISBN-13(EAN): 9783631660423 Издательство: Peter Lang Рейтинг: Цена: 66470.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание:
The book deals with Vietnam’s ethnic and religious minorities in a historical perspective. The time frame stretches from the pre-colonial era to contemporary times. Except for one paper on the situation of the Vietnam-China border area, the authors focus on South or Southern Central Vietnam. The Chinese, the Cham and the Bahnar represent three different categories of ethnic minorities: the so-called Foreign Asians, the highly developed nationalities and the former tribal populations, who once lived at the margins. The Vietnamese and Highland Catholics as well as the French Protestants are two prominent religious minorities. The aim of this book is to contribute to a discussion about common features, categories and tasks, which transcend regional, ethnic or religious particularities and the familiar lowland-highland divide.

Описание: L’objectif de ce recueil est d’etudier la vision formee au cours des genocides et des guerres par les enfants et les adolescents ainsi que la symbolisation de l’enfance et de la jeunesse. Les contributions tentent de comprendre l’expression des experiences sur la base de recits, de poesies, de dessins et de temoignages. Centre sur la Shoah en Europe et le genocide des Tutsi au Rwanda, sans pour autant oublier les persecutions national-socialistes des resistants politiques et des Roms, ce volume interdisciplinaire rassemble des articles de base sur la transmission du vecu et sur la reception de l’experience, du plus jeune age jusqu’a l’adolescence, de l’emblematique au referentiel, se vouant ainsi a un champ de recherche dont le potentiel n’est pas encore assez exploite.
Автор: Ulrich Pfeil Название: Mythes et tabous des relations franco-allemandes au XX e siecle- Mythen und Tabus der deutsch-franzoesischen Beziehungen im 20. Jahrhundert ISBN: 3034305923 ISBN-13(EAN): 9783034305921 Издательство: Peter Lang Рейтинг: Цена: 83030.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Depuis la fin du XVIIIe siecle, la France et l’Allemagne se sont retrouvees face a face, opposees l’une a l’autre selon un schema qui s’est constamment nourri de symboles et de recits de nature antagoniste. Dans la mesure ou les mythes decrivent « ce qui n’a jamais existe et ce qui se perpetue », ils constituent un materiau servant a forger sa propre identite en se demarquant de celle du voisin. Par la suite, les relations franco-allemandes furent toujours et encore marquees par des conflits et des guerres, de telle sorte que l’image de l’autre comme « ennemi hereditaire » s’est solidement ancree dans la perception mutuelle, de part et d’autre du Rhin, jusqu’au milieu du XXe siecle. Mais si les mythes politiques, en tant qu’armes mentales, peuvent etre des forces motrices des conflits, ils peuvent aussi contribuer – a l’exemple des relations franco-allemandes apres 1945 – a transformer les anciens « ennemis » en « amis » hereditaires. Cet ouvrage analyse les perceptions, la construction des stereotypes, les mises en scene politiques, mais aussi les tabous et parfois les retours du refoule. Seit dem Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts standen sich Deutschland und Frankreich feindlich gegenuber. Ihr Antagonismus wurde von einem Schema bestimmt, das sich bestandig durch gegensatzliche Symbole und Narrative nahrte. Indem Mythen beschreiben, «was niemals existiert hat und was weiter fortlebt», bilden sie ein identitatsstiftendes Material, mit dem sich beide vom Nachbarn abgrenzten. In der Folge blieben die deutsch-franzosischen Beziehungen von Konflikten und Kriegen bestimmt, so dass das Bild vom «Erbfeind» bis zur Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts tief in der wechselseitigen Perzeption auf beiden Seiten des Rheins verankert blieb. Aber wenn politische Mythen als mentale Waffen Katalysatoren fur Konflikte sein konnen, so konnen sie auch dazu beitragen – wie die deutsch-franzosischen Beziehungen nach 1945 zeigen –, aus ehemaligen Feinden «Erbfreunde» werden zu lassen. Dieser Band untersucht Perzeptionen, Konstruktionen von Stereotypen, politischen Inszenierungen, aber auch Tabus und bisweilen die Ruckkehr von bereits uberwunden geglaubten Reprasentationen.
