The Disciplinary Basis of T and E in STEM
Author:
Technology education has developed from a craft-oriented subject to a richer, partly cognitive subject. For this latter part a disciplinary basis is needed. Furthermore, the disciplinary basis for the T has to be seen more and more in the context of the disciplinary basis for the other STEM subjects. This book offers such a disciplinary basis. It can be used for curriculum development, research and teaching. The book brings together insights from philosophy of technology about the meaning of the various concepts that form the disciplinary basis and pedagogical insights into learners’ possible preconceptions as well as strategies to teach and learn these concepts.

Seventh Revised Edition

This seventh, revised edition of
International Institutional Law covers the most recent developments in the field. Although public international organizations such as the United Nations, the World Trade Organization, the World Health Organization, the African Union, ASEAN, the European Union, Mercosur, NATO and OPEC have widely divergent objectives, powers, fields of activity and numbers of member states, they also have many institutional characteristics in common. There is unity within diversity. Rather than being a handbook for specific organizations, the book offers a comparative analysis of the institutional law of international organizations. It includes chapters on the rules and practices concerning membership, institutional structure, decision-making, financing, legal order, supervision and sanctions, legal status and external relations. The book’s theoretical framework and extensive use of examples from practice is designed to appeal to both academics and practitioners.

During the “thick globalism” of the early modern world, evidence of religious contact, between conflict and commerce, has been overlooked in national narratives. In
Palimpsests of Religious Encounter in Asia, 1500–1800, a cross-disciplinary group of international experts delve into on-site artefacts and archives to consider the geographical imagination, the transfer of knowledge, the politics of interreligious dialogue, the practice of reception, and the cyclical flow of meaning across transcultural things. Illustrations of objects rarely available to the public demonstrate how religious belief can provide a shared methodological platform for the global turn of art history.

Culture and Society in the Slavic World through the Centuries
Series:
FOKUS, Volume: 18
This collection of studies is devoted to the social role of language in the history of East Central Europe from the Middle Ages to the beginning of the 20th century. The authors examine the specificity of East Central Europe, an area that was a borderland between ‘West’ and ‘East’. The region was largely inhabited by Slavic people, which gave it the character – and sometimes the name – of a Slavic world, but it was also home to non-Slavic ethnic groups (Germans, Hungarians, Jews). Various cultures, traditions, religions, faiths reinforced by social and economic divisions, as well as changing political borders over the centuries, created a complex picture of human relations. The authors set out to understand the history of East Central Europe through language – or rather co-existing languages – and the role they played at different levels of communication and in different systems of human relations (social, economic and political).

Anna Wasa (1568–1625) war die Tochter des schwedischen Königs Johann III. und der polnischen Prinzessin Katarina Jagellonica. Sie wurde katholisch erzogen, konvertierte jedoch bereits 1583 zum Protestantismus und blieb bis an ihr Lebensende eine glühende Lutheranerin. Sie war eine umfassend gebildete und wissenschaftlich interssierte Frau, die in der Literatur auch „Königin der polnischen Botanik“ genannt wird. Als ihr Bruder Sigismund III. von Polen König wurde, begleitete sie ihn dorthin und starb ledig. Diese mit einer ausführlichen Einleitung versehene Edition versammelt erstmals Anna Wasas Korrespondenz – ein für die Kulturgeschichte der Frühen Neuzeit bedeutsamer Quellenbestand. Die auf Schwedisch, Deutsch und Polnisch verfassten Briefe werden alle durch Regesten in deutscher Sprache erschlossen.

The German-Speaking Lands, 1750–1850
Series:
Modern Catholicisms, Volume: 1
Author:
This book deals with a politically and intellectually exciting period in the history of Catholicism. In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, massive changes took place, especially in the German-speaking lands. First, the Holy Roman Empire ceased to exist, and new states emerged. Secondly, the Enlightenment exercised a significant effect on the wider culture, as did Classical German Philosophy. Both aspects had a significant impact on Catholic theology, too. Benjamin Dahlke offers a comprehensive account of these developments which have influenced Catholicism up to this day. In this sense, the book enables the reader to identify lasting substantive challenges and to gain a clearer understanding of the institutional framework of Catholic theology.

The essays contained in the inaugural volume of
New Benjamin Studies are dedicated to the concept of ‘community’ (
Gemeinschaft).
Indeed, community runs like a thread through many of Benjamin’s writings: from his earliest reflections on the German Student Movement, including his 1911 essay on ‘The Free School Community’, to his ill-fated Habilitation on the Origin of the Mourning Play (1925); and from his early language-philosophical tract ‘On Language as Such and on the Language of Man’ (1916) to his later, more pointedly materialist city portrait ‘Moscow’ (1927). For Benjamin, the term entails not only a critique of ‘national community’ ( Volksgemeinschaft), but equally an effort to delineate a form of ‘ethical community’ ( sittliche Gemeinschaft) and a ‘community of language’ ( Sprachgemeinschaft). In each case, these figures of community are articulated in response to shifting historical circumstances, including two World Wars, and through an engagement with a wide range of interlocutors.
Although Benjamin never systematically expounds the concept of community per se, there is a sense in which it marks a nodal point: an opportunity to rethink the interplay of language, history, and politics in the register of what is common.

Das Erbe des Tirpitz-Plans und der Kampf um die »Zukunft auf dem Wasser«
Author:
„Unsere Zukunft liegt auf dem Wasser!“, prophezeite Kaiser Wilhelm II. den Deutschen. Durch den Bau einer mächtigen Flotte wollte das Kaiserreich die bestehende Weltmacht Großbritannien herausfordern. Bis 1914 stieg seine Marine unter der Leitung von Admiral Alfred von Tirpitz zur zweitgrößten der Welt auf. Während die Hochphase der wilhelminischen Flottenrüstung eingehend erforscht worden ist, lag das Schicksal des Flottenprogramms während des Ersten Weltkriegs bisher weitgehend im Dunkeln. Welche strategischen Schlüsse zog die Kaiserliche Marine aus den Erfahrungen des Seekrieges? Wie gestaltete sich die Weiterentwicklung der Kriegsschiffstypen? Benjamin Miertzschkes Studie, die auf einer umfassenden Auswertung der Aktenbestände des Reichsmarineamtes beruht, liefert Antworten auf diese Fragen. Die Studie wurde 2024 mit dem 1. Preis der Stiftung zur Förderung der Schifffahrts- und Marinegeschichte ausgezeichnet.
