This book argues that poetry is compatible with systematic knowledge including science, and indeed inherent in it; it also discusses particular poems that engage with such knowledge, including those of Lucretius, Vergil, and Vita Sackville-West. The book argues that there are substantial similarities between knowledge-making and poetry-making, for example in their being shaped by language, including metaphor, and in their seeking unity in the world, under the impulse of eros and pleasure. The book also discusses some of the obstacles to a ‘poetry of knowledge’, including scientific objectivism, the Kantian tradition in philosophy, and the separation of the ‘two cultures’ in our academic and intellectual institutions. The book is designed to be accessible to all those interested in the issue of the ‘two cultures’, or in the role of poetry and of science in contemporary culture.

Unter linguistisch-epistemologischen Vorzeichen widmet sich der Band zentralen Aspekten der Trias Sprache, Wissen und Diskurs. Dies geschieht in systematischer Auseinandersetzung mit dem vielschichtigen Konzept einer linguistischen Epistemologie.Im Einzelnen stehen folgende Forschungsfelder im Vordergrund: historische Semantik und Frame-Semantik; bedeutungstheoretische Grundlagen; Sprache und (Welt-)Wissen, Sprache als Medium der Wirklichkeitskonstruktion; Sprachtheorie und Sprachverstehenstheorien: verstehensrelevantes Wissen, linguistische Hermeneutik; Rechtslinguistik; Diskurstheorie und diskurssemantische Analysen; öffentlicher Sprachgebrauch: semantische Grundfiguren, politische "Begriffe".Die AutorInnen des Sammelbandes greifen unterschiedliche Gesichtspunkte aus diesen zusammenhängenden Feldern auf, um zu zeigen, wie einerseits theoretische, methodologische und empirische Aspekte einer linguistischen Epistemologie zur fruchtbaren Weiterentwicklung der Germanistischen Linguistik beigetragen haben und in welche Richtungen diese andererseits ausgebaut wie auch empirisch erprobt werden (können).

Sociocultural psychology is a discipline located at the crossroads between the natural and social sciences and the humanities. This international overview of the field provides an antireductionist and comprehensive account of how experience and behaviour arise from human action with cultural materials in social practices. The outcome is a vision of the dynamics of sociocultural and personal life in which time and developmental constructive transformations are crucial. This second edition provides expanded coverage of how particular cultural artefacts and social practices shape experience and behaviour in the realms of art and aesthetics, economics, history, religion and politics. Special attention is also paid to the development of identity, the self and personhood throughout the lifespan, while retaining the emphasis on experience and development as key features of sociocultural psychology.

The book focuses on major aspects of Norbert Elias's social theory through research on supposed “minor” topics, such as manners, sports, leisure and cultural practices. While many of his publications became essential for scholars in the different disciplines concerned, the development of the figurational approach towards these fields was not always completed. The edited volume picks up some lose ends by including archive manuscripts by Elias on the genesis of sport, developments of cultural practices, and the sociology of the body, which are published here for the very first time. Based on critical reviews of these texts, international experts show how the new material adds up to Elias’s oeuvre and how it can be fruitfully applied to current research. Contents Leisure and culture Sportisation and 'modernisation' Sport, violence and state formation Sociology of the body Target Groups Students and reseachers of sociology, social and cultural sciences, sports, and history The Editors Dr. Jan Haut is researcher and lecturer at the Department of Sports Sciences, Goethe University Frankfurt (Germany).
