Abstract

Die Westliche KAK bildet an der Wende des 4. zum 3. Jahrtausend v. Chr. einen relativ heterogenen Kulturkomplex, der sich durch ein Nebeneinander regionaler und überregionaler Elemente auszeichnet. Den Schlüssel zum Verständnis dieser komplexen Situation lieferte die individuelle Beurteilung der kulturellen Kontakte mit dem jeweiligen lokalen Substrat. Demnach dürfte vor allem die Interaktion mit den ansässigen Gemeinschaften, die sich in den einzelnen Regionen auf unterschiedliche Weise - bis hin zur Ausbildung kultureller Mischgruppen - äußert, für die räumliche Variabilität verantwortlich gewesen sein. Für die erstrebte raum-zeitliche Differenzierung wurde ein innovativer methodischer Ansatz verfolgt, der multivariate Statistik mit GIS-basierten Analysen kombiniert. Somit ließen sich eine überregionale Westgruppen-Ornamentik sowie drei regionale Verzierungsstile herausfiltern. Der Ausschluss der regionalen Motive bei den chronologischen Analysen gestattete es, den allgemeinen Entwicklungstrend herauszuarbeiten. Die zeitliche Fixierung der regionalen Ausprägungen im überregionalen Entwick-lungsschema sowie die Beurteilung der kulturellen Interaktion gestatteten den Entwurf des Modells einer kaskadenartigen Ausbreitung.

Abstract

This study on the boy bishop's feast in western Europe deals with a subject that has been hitherto neglected by medievalists. It is situated between different fields of research : the study of rituals and festive culture, the history of premodern theatre and liturgy as well as the history of premodern theatre and liturgy as well as the history of childhood. The book tackles this subject from a geographical and temporal macro-perspective, covering iconographical and textual documents belonging to 150 different institutions (cathedrals, cloisters, schools) from the 11th to the 16th century. In contrast to a rather misleading perspective of scholars who regarded the feast as an element of the culture of laughter and indirectly associating it with carnival, this study shows the boy bishop's feast as a liturgical feast that was closely linked with the cult of the Holy Innocents and Saint Nicholas. Thus the book provides new insights into the late medieval culture of piety as well as religious ritual and concretises the inherent logic of liturgical festivals, which gradually became enhanced and transformed outside the liturgy. The book also contributes to the history of childhood by looking at the role and function of children in medieval clerical communities. There the boy bishop's feast not only was an occasion for joy and play, it also prepared the children for their roles in later life and helped the hole community to rememorize the salvation story as well as universal Christian virtues - like innoncence, humility and purity - which the boy bishop impersonated.

Abstract

Textiles are a key component of the industrial, industrious and consumer revolutions, which are seen as transforming the economy, society and culture of Western Europe during the long eighteenth century. Yet we lack a coherent picture of how the marketing of textiles varied across time and between different regions and countries. This book provides important new insights into the ways in which changes in the supply of textiles related to shifting patterns of demand, not just in terms of imported novelties such as chintz, but also more traditional, locally-produced and even second-hand textiles. It focuses on the processes and practices of retailing, and assesses how these responded to and promoted wider changes in value systems and supply networks. It encompasses discussion of fashion and taste, advertising and pricing, cultural norms and local tradition, cleanliness and hygiene, shopkeepers and stock.

Abstract

"One of the most remarkable aspects pertaining to the legal bans and societal debates on the face veil in Europe is that they rely on assumptions which lack any factual basis. To rectify this, Eva Brems researched the experiences of women who wear a face veil in Belgium, and brought her research results together with those of colleagues who did the same in four other European countries. Their findings, which are outlined in this volume, move the current discussion on face veil bans forward by providing a much-needed insider perspective"--

Abstract

The 21st century has already seen dramatic changes affecting both journalism and politics. The rise of a range of new digital and networked communication technologies combined with the stagnation and decline of many traditional mass media has had a profound impact on political journalism. The arrival of new digital media has affected the ways in which political actors communicate with the public, with or without journalists as intermediaries. Newspapers that once held political leaders to account are now struggling to survive; broadcasters that once gathered whole nations for the evening news are now fighting for relevance faced with innumerable new competitors on cable and digital television; online-only media, such as blogs and social networking sites, are changing how we communicate about politics. News media remain central to political processes, but the ways in which journalists and politicians interact are changing. This book examines how and provides a comprehensive and comparative analysis of the state of political journalism in Western Europe today, including the many challenges facing journalists in this important period of transition.

Abstract

Religiöse Erinnerungsfiguren dienten dazu, Heilssicherheit, dynastische und später nationalstaatliche Herrschaftslegitimität sowie nationale Gemeinschaft als möglichst dauerhafte, bis zum Weltenende geltende Vorstellungen zu festigen. Bei den orthodoxen Südslaven lassen sich trotz aller Versuche nachbarschaftlichen Abgrenzung und Konkurrenz unauflösbare Verflechtungen feststellen. Die dynamische Verquickung von (ost-)römischen, mittelalterlichen serbischen und bulgarischen sowie osmanischen und westeuropäisch-nationalen Diskursen, Strukturen und 'Vermächtnissen' prägt diese europäische Geschichtsregion. Ihr beeindruckendes Panorama vom Frühmittelalter bis zur Mitte des letzten Jahrhunderts wird in dieser Untersuchung ausgeleuchtet.

Abstract

Northern Europe and North America have dominated the world stage for more than two centuries. Using a wide range of sources, this book provides the first coherent account from a multi-national perspective of the ideas and perceptions that, from the Renaissance onwards, fueled the North’s rise to prominence, and enabled it to rival the traditional cultural and political hegemony of the South. This includes not only the fascinating conquest of the polar regions, but also the religious upheaval of the Reformation, the changing view of nature engendered by Romanticism, and, not least, the revival of ancient Nordic and Celtic culture. Finally, the book offers an indispensable historical background to current events in the Far North, where the past and the future meet in a complex web of dramatic environmental concerns, the exploitation of natural resources, and the strategies of politics and commerce.
