Change Through Repetition
Art and politics are related through repetition. Both realms are structured by practices of repetition and share a common room of sens(e)uality – aesthetics in the emphatic sense of the word. It is the aesthetics and practices of repetition that reveal the relation between both realms. This volume proposes to explore aesthetic and cultural phenomena that effect change in the non-aesthetical realm, not so much in spite, but precisely because of their being 'mere' repetitions. Repetition shapes art works through procedures and processes of reproduction, copying, depiction, or reenactment. As representation of the world, mimetic art's relationship to the political and social world can be conc...

Zäsuren / Caesurae
Ein Sammelband zu Celans einzigem Israel-Besuch 1969 mit Beiträgen zu der Frage, wie diese »Wende« und »Zäsur« für sein Leben und Werk zu verstehen sind. Im Oktober 1969 besuchte Paul Celan Israel zum ersten und einzigen Mal und nannte diesen Besuch danach »eine Wende, eine Zäsur« in seinem Leben. Wie ist diese Zäsur zu verstehen, und was ist ihre Bedeutung für Celans Spätwerk? NachwuchswissenschaftlerInnen und etablierte ForscherInnen im Bereich der internationalen Celan-Forschung gehen diesen Fragen nach und eröffnen neue Zugänge zu Celans Israel-Besuch sowie zu den Gedichten, die Celan nach der Rückkehr in Paris schrieb und die sich explizit auf diese Reise beziehen.

Der Stern, das Gebet, ein Narr
Eine neue Perspektive innerhalb der deutsch-jüdischen Literatur. Galili Shahar diskutiert die Frage der Tradition in den Schriften von Walter Benjamin, Franz Rosenzweig und Franz Kafka und beschäftigt sich dabei mit Themen wie Sabbatianismus, Messianismus, Engelslehren und liturgische Dichtung. Der Autor bietet eine neue Perspektive innerhalb der deutsch-jüdischen Literatur an, die jedoch auf die Dialektik der jüdischen Tradition nicht verzichtet. Konkret bedeutet das, den paradoxalen Aspekt im jüdischen Schreiben anzuerkennen und zugleich die dialektische Form zu bekräftigen - ihre List und ihre verschiedenen Formen der Offenbarung und der Verborgenheit zu erlernen. Im Vordergrund stehen Benjamins Text über den Stern der Melancholie, Rosenzweigs Auseinandersetzungen über die Übersetzung hebräischer Dichtung und Kafkas Schreiben über Narrenspiele. Deutlich werden Spannungen, ambivalente Loyalitäten, Irrwege sowie das Schauspiel im Bereich der Tradition.

Hidden Futures
"There are probably as many views on death as there are civilizations; even within one civilization views may shift from one century to another, as is exemplified by ancient Greece. This has been observed in our own era as well: previously death seemed to be banned to sterile hospital beds and funeral homes, nowadays dying tends to become more 'social' and comes into the open again. On the whole, a renewed interest in death is noticeable, and the present book is an expression of that trend." "This volume of essays grew out of a symposium held in December 1992 at the University of Amsterdam and organized by the Institute for Mediterranean Studies. They are arranged in four sections, viz. gene...
Archaeology and Architecture of the Military Orders
As elite communities in medieval societies the Military Orders were driven by the ambition to develop built environments that fulfilled monastic needs as well as military requirements and, in addition, residential and representational purposes. Growing affluence and an international orientation provided a wide range of development potential. That this potential was in fact exploited may be exemplified by the advanced fortifications erected by Templars and Hospitallers in the Levant. Although the history of the Military Orders has been the subject of research for a long time, their material legacy has attracted less attention. In recent years, however, a vast range of topics concerning the Or...
