Life, Subjectivity & Art
This book contains essays written by eminent phenomenologists & scholars closely related to R. Bernet, a person and a philosopher (colleagues, friends and collaborators, former students). The intellectual and worldwide authority of R. Bernet's work is well represented by the list of contributors, as well as by the content of their chapters. In a sense, this volume is a good indication of the importance of Bernet's own books, articles and classes. The editors have chosen to concentrate the contributions on what could be estimated to be one of the three major themes of his philosophical itinerary: life, seen from a phenomenological point of view, its relation to subjectivity, experiences and consciousness, and both seen as the ground for an original reflection on art (paintings).
German Literature in the Age of Globalisation
Literary fiction in Germany has long been a medium for contemplation of the 'nation' and questions of national identity. From the mid-1990s, in the wake of heated debates on the future direction of culture, politics and society in a more 'normal', united country, German literature has become increasingly diverse and seemingly disparate - at the one extreme, it represents the attempt to 'reinvent' German traditions, at the other, the unmistakable influence of Anglo-American forms and pop literature.

Daniel Bräg
The photographs and sculpture of German artist Daniel Bräg (born 1964) meditate on and update that perennial topic of all art: transience, and its effects upon objects.

Arnold Stadler and the Metaphysics of Heimat
This study reads Stadler's work as a reaction to developments in Germany, such as the expansion of the European Union, the Heimat wave following Edgar Reitz's film series in the 1980s, and German reunification. The interpretation also reflects larger changes in culture, including globalization and multiculturalism. Stadler's views on Heimat depart from the more political implications of recent thinking on Heimat by placing the concept in a metaphysical framework, extending the perceived boundaries of home and accepting the implications of this major expansion. No fixed model of Heimat exists, thus leaving the desire for Heimat to combat the inevitably transitory nature of an imagined home.
