On Behalf of the Mystical Fool
Jung's explanation of the religious tendency of the psyche addresses many sides of the contemporary debate on religion and the role that it has in individual and social life. This book discusses the emergence of a new mythic consciousness and details ways in which this consciousness supersedes traditional concepts of religion to provide a spirituality of more universal inclusion. On Behalf of the Mystical Fool examines Jung's critique of traditional western religion, demonstrating the negative consequences of religious and political collective unconsciousness, and their consequent social irresponsibility in today's culture. The book concludes by suggesting that a new religiosity and spirituality is currently emerging in the West based on the individual’s access to the sense of ultimacy residual in the psyche, and seeking expression in a myth of a much wider compass. This book will be of interest to scholars and students at all levels who are engaged in the expanding field of Jungian studies. It will also be key reading for anyone interested in the theoretical and therapeutic connections between the psyche and religious experience.
Hip-Hop in Europe
This is the first collection of essays to take a pan-European perspective in the study of hip-hop. How has it traveled to Europe? How has it developed in the various cultural contexts? How does it reference the American cultures of origin? The book's 21 authors and artists provide a comprehensive overview of hip-hop cultures in Europe, from the fringes to the centers. They address hip-hop in a variety of contexts, such as class, ethnicity, gender, history, pedagogy, performance, and (post-) communism.

Immigration and Quality of Life in Ageing Societies
This edited book argues that a new perspective on immigration is needed. As many advanced economies are ageing, and their populations stagnate or decline, immigrants are increasingly required to fill in the gaps left behind by shrinking workforces. Against this backdrop, the outdated view that it is – and can only be – a privilege for immigrants to move temporarily from less to more developed economies needs a rethink. In particular, questions about how attractive a host destination can be for immigrants; not just in economic, but also in social, political, linguistic, and cultural terms should be raised. Considering in detail the situation in Japan and Germany – Japan where there are ...
Schreiben in der Zweitsprache Deutsch
In vielen Domänen des institutionellen Lernens, der beruflichen Tätigkeit und des Alltags wird in Deutsch als Zweitsprache geschrieben. Ausgehend davon werden in diesem Handbuch 27 Beiträge präsentiert, die in vier übergreifenden Bereichen verortet sind: (1) Konzeptionelle und empirische Grundlagen, (2) Schreibentwicklung und Schreibkompetenz, (3) Diagnostik und (4) Didaktik. Sie bieten einen Überblick über theoretische Zugänge und Modelle, empirische Studien und diagnostische Instrumente im Bereich des Schreibens in der Zweitsprache Deutsch. Dabei wird jeweils der aktuelle Forschungsstand umfassend aufgearbeitet und es werden zahlreiche Desiderata in diesem bislang noch wenig erforschten Gebiet identifiziert. Auf dieser Grundlage lassen sich neue Forschungsperspektiven für eine empirisch basierte Theorie und Didaktik desSchreibens in der Zweitsprache entwickeln. Das Handbuch richtet sich sowohl an Studierende als auch an die Forschungsgemeinschaft.

Schreiben und Gehen
Dieser Band untersucht das didaktische Potenzial der Verbindung von Schreiben und Gehen. Der erste Teil gibt - am Beispiel der Epoche der "Aufklärung" - phänomenologisch-psychologische Einblicke in die Kulturgeschichte des Spaziergangs. Mit den Aspekten Wahrnehmung, Sehen, Gefühl, Rhythmus und Haltung werden Wesensmerkmale des Spaziergangs prototypisch herausgearbeitet. Gleichzeitig erfolgen Überlegungen, welche Relevanz die genannten Verbindungspunkte für das Schreiben haben und wie sie sich in die Schreibdidaktik integrieren lassen. Im zweiten Teil werden unterrichtliche Anwendungsfelder umrissen, die eine sinnvolle Kombination von Schreiben und Gehen ermöglichen.
Predatory Nuns
Since the first scandals broke in the mid-1980s, the sexual misconducts of priests have cost the Catholic Church in America more than $4 billion in compensation settlements and incalculable damage to its reputation. Although their crimes have attracted far less attention, predatory nuns have also caused harm. The depredations of these nuns took place in convent novitiates, orphanages, boarding schools for Native Americans, and in Catholic schools, both elementary and secondary. Their victims, male and female, ranged in age from six-year-olds to young adults. This book focuses on the criminal behavior of North American nuns and the responses from church leadership. Mothers superior were outsp...
The Father: A Revenge
Niklas Frank was just seven years old when his father, Hans Frank, Hitler's legal adviser and Governor General of occupied Poland, was executed at Nuremberg as a Nazi war criminal. Throughout his life, Niklas has attempted to come to terms with the enormity of the crimes his father committed, and this remarkable book traces how after years of research he uncovered the extent of the horror unleashed by the man who was known as the butcher of Poland. The Father is an extraordinary account of a scarred son struggling to comprehend the depravity of the acts that were committed by his father. Whereas other descendants of Hitler's henchmen and co-collaborators have tried to explain or to forget the crimes of their forebears, Niklas's disgust for his father's actions is unremitting. This book is his attempt to seek revenge. Featuring forewords by Philippe Sands and Sir Ian Kershaw, The Father is by turns shocking, twisted and heart-rending; a devastating settling of accounts written by a son addressing his father as he pictures him burning in the eternal fires of hell.

The Beat Cop
"Francis O'Neill was Chicago's larger-than-life police chief, starting in 1901- and he was an Irish immigrant with an intense interest in his home country's music. In documenting and publishing his understanding of Irish musical folkways, O'Neill became the foremost shaper of what "Irish music" meant. He favored specific rural forms and styles, and as Michael O'Malley shows, he was the "beat cop" -actively using his police powers and skills to acquire knowledge about Irish music and to enforce a nostalgic vision of it"--
