Religious Entanglements Between Germans and Indians, 1800–1945
Religion as a form of cultural expression constitutes a critical element in the relationship between Germany and India. The discovery of Indian traditions in Germany and re-interpretations of those traditions in India fueled not only new theological and philosophical explorations, but also extensive innovations in the fields of music, dance, bodily experience, and political intervention. Seeking to uncover the enfolding of colonial thought structures through presentations of the Self, while placing them in the context of global colonial value chains that connected the peripheries with the centre, this interdisciplinary volume addresses India through the lens of an entangled relationship.

Cultural Memory and Early Civilization
Now available to an English-speaking audience, this book presents a groundbreaking theoretical analysis of memory, identity and culture. It investigates how cultures remember, arguing that human memory exists and is communicated in two ways, namely inter-human interaction and in external systems of notation, such as writing, which can span generations. Dr Assmann defines two theoretical concepts of cultural memory, differentiating between the long-term memory of societies, which can span up to 3,000 years, and communicative memory, which is typically restricted to 80 to 100 years. He applies this theoretical framework to case studies of four specific cultures, illustrating the function contexts and specific achievements, including the state, international law, religion and science. Ultimately, his research demonstrates that memory is not simply a means of retaining information, but rather a force that can shape cultural identity and allow cultures to respond creatively to both daily challenges and catastrophic changes.
Die Wahrnehmung des Anderen in der arabischen Welt und in Deutschland
Die Wahrnehmung des Anderen ist Quelle für Images und Feindbilder anderer Kulturen wie auch für Konstruktionen der eigenen kulturellen Identität. Die zwölf Beiträge dieses Bandes beleuchten das oft stereotypisierende, exotisierende, verzerrende Bild von Muslimen in deutschen Medien und Schulbüchern, das Bild des religiös Anderen in Islam, Christentum und Bahai-Glauben, aber auch den Blick arabischer Literatur auf die europäische Kultur und Gesellschaft sowie Entwürfe eines interkulturellen Dialogs bei Lessing, Montesquieu und Goethe im Sinne einer Heterotopie (Foucault).
Antiliberal Internationalism in the Twentieth Century
This book shows how antiliberal discourse, thought, and mobilization have, in defiance of nationalist aims, been significantly shaped and determined in the international sphere, as new collaborations position themselves against the liberal order established after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Despite often drawing inspiration from nationalist movements and ideologies, antiliberalism is a phenomenon that transcends domestic contexts and settings in important ways. This collection of essays charts the many-sided aspects of twentieth-century internationalism and its contemporary developments across the globe. Without excluding well-known European sources of antiliberal internationalism, it decen...
