Political Initiation in the Novels of Philip Roth
Political Initiation in the Novels of Philip Roth exemplifies how literature and, specifically, the work of Philip Roth can help readers understand the ways in which individuals develop their political identity, learn to comprehend political ideas, and define their role in society. Combining political science, literary theory, and anthropology, the book describes an individual's political coming of age as a political initiation story, which is crafted as much by the individual himself as by the circumstances influencing him, such as political events or the political attitude of the parents. Philip Roth's characters constantly re-write their own stories and experiment with their identities. Accordingly, Philip Roth's works enable the reader to explore, for instance, how individuals construct their identity against the backdrop of political transformations or contested territories, and thereby become initiands-or fail to do so. Contrary to what one might expect, initiations are not only defining moments in childhood and early adulthood; instead, Roth shows how initiation processes recur throughout an individual's life.
Klasskamraterna
Elin och Kristen har känt varandra så länge de kan minnas. Men en dag är det som att något mellan dem förändras – det är något besynnerligt med Kristen. När de skiljs åt får Elin alltid en konstig känsla av att hon inte varit så snäll mot honom som hon borde varit och trots att hon berättat för honom att hon aldrig kommer glömma honom tycks han inte tro henne. Deras långa vänskap har under åren utvecklats till något mer, något som varken Elin eller Kristen vet riktigt hur de ska hantera ... Kathrine Elisabeth Lie (1876-1947) var en norsk författare, lärare och tidskriftsredaktör. Hon skrev främst barn- och ungdomslitteratur men har även skrivit två kokböcker. Hennes böcker uppskattas idag både av vuxna och unga, mycket tack vare hennes slående beskrivningar av tidsandan under det tidiga 1900-talet i Norge.
Engaging Spaces
All performances - whether music, theater, visual arts, or even street protests or games — have this in common: they happen somewhere, within a space. This anthology explores the complicated relationship between performance and the space in which it is hosted. Examining both well-known spaces — such as concert halls or stages — as well as unconventional ones, such as the street, the contributors investigate different conceptions of space, how space is experienced, how different spaces are unique from one another, and, ultimately, the ways space enables the performing arts to deeply engage audiences.
Nerison and Bergene Roots and Branches
Between Larry and Ethel Nerison, they trace back to over thirty prime ancestors. This book follows lineages down from each of these ancestors to the present generations. Connections have been found to B.C. dates of Scandinavian Kings, the Mayflower, Laura Ingalls Wilder, U.S. Grant and Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Photographs include present generation, ancestors, and ancestral homes and farmsteads on both sides of the Atlantic. A code number system has been developed to identify each family member which allows the reader to trace ancestral lines. These code numbers enable the reader to instantly calculate the number of generations between family members.
Erneuerbare und dezentrale Energien aus postkolonialer Perspektive
Mit der Kombination aus postkolonialen Theorien, Entwicklungs- und Technikforschung betritt diese interdisziplinäre Arbeit neue Wege und trägt durch zwei detaillierte Fallstudien zum theoretischen Erkenntnisgewinn und zu einer kritischen entwicklungspolitischen Praxis bei. Zunächst werden aktuelle diskursive Formationen und politische Strategien des Energie- & "Entwicklungs"-Nexus herausgearbeitet und die Rolle von Technologien aus entwicklungs- und technikkritischer Perspektive reflektiert. Vor diesem theoretischen Hintergrund werden mittels ethnografischer Forschung Prozesse der Technikentwicklung in zwei Fallstudien deutsch-tansanischer Partnerschaften rekonstruiert, aus einer postkolonialen Perspektive analysiert sowie Möglichkeiten und Hemmnisse einer selbstbestimmten Technikentwicklung und -nutzung betrachtet. Die Fallstudien untersuchen die Kooperation zweier NGOs und zweier Unternehmen zur Entwicklung eines neuen Typs von Haushalts-Biogasanlagen bzw. von Solar-Home-Systemen. Das Werk hat den Wissenschaftspreis der Rosa-Luxemburg-Stiftung Sachsen gewonnen.
