Dieser Band stellt eine breit gefächerte Auswahl von Kunstwerken und Artefakten aus mehr als vier Jahrhunderten vor, die sich aus der oft vernachlässigten Geschichte transsexueller und nichtbinärer Gemeinschaften schöpfen. Künstler:innen, Schriftsteller:innen, Dichter:innen, Aktivist:innen und Wissenschaftler:innen thematisieren in ihren Beiträgen die historische Verschleierung und eröffnen künftige Transperspektiven. Anhand einer Vielzahl von Kunstwerken und Artefakten entfaltet sich jenseits der patriarchalischen Geschichte eine geschlechtsneutrale, auf Transpersonen zentrierte Historie. Erstmals widmet sich dieser Band mit einem weiten Spektrum ihren Vorgänger:innen, ihren Kämpfen und Siegen, und feiert das Vermächtnis schöpferischer Transpersonen.

Through their approximately $2.5 billion in donations each year to Israel, American Jews have profoundly impacted the direction of Israeli society.

This open access book takes the biographical case of German feminist Käthe Schirmacher (1865-1930), a multilingual translator, widely travelled writer of fiction and non-fiction, and a disputatious activist to examine the travel and translation of ideas between the women's movements that emerged in many countries in the late 19th and early 20th century. It discusses practices such as translating, interpreting, and excerpting from journals and books that spawned and supported transnational civic spaces and develops a theoretical framework to analyse these practices. It examines translations of literary, scholarly and political texts and their contexts. The book will be of interest to academics as well as undergraduate and postgraduate students in the fields of modern history, women's and gender history, cultural studies, transnational and transfer history, translation studies, history and theory of biography

Focusing on the attitudes and experiences of American female diplomats and spouses, this book examines the social, political, and cultural dimensions of American interactions with the Middle East and North Africa in the five decades after the Second World War. A turbulent period, marked by conflicts associated with the Cold War and decolonization, it was also characterized by changing attitudes to women at odds with those in Moslem societies. The impact of those changes is explored throughout this book, principally drawing on personal oral histories included in the 'Frontline Diplomacy' collection, but reinforced by cables passing between regional U.S. embassies and the State Department in Washington DC

"Higher Education and the Carceral State: Transforming Together explores the diversity of ways in which university faculty and students are intervening in the system of mass incarceration through the development of correctional education programs for students in correctional settings that often result in mutual learning among both populations. From arts and education courses offered in the Alabama Prison Arts + Education Project at Auburn University to a degree granting program at the state prison in Lancaster with California State University, Los Angeles, and many more inspiring, innovative, and change-making programs, individuals and communities across multiple disciplines in higher education are actively breaking the cycle of shame and division inherent in mass incarceration through direct engagement. This book explores these programs through the lens of the artists, scholars, practitioners, and faculty that have launched and facilitate them and demonstrate the diverse ways in which interventions and partnerships can take shape and the impacts that they have on the lives of those involved. Throughout, the book features the voices of people with lived experience among faculty and students. Section One highlights the voices of students who are currently or formerly incarcerated while Section Two addresses diverse ways of collaborative through and across systems of corrections and education. Section Three features the voices of teaching artists while section four includes those that start and lead these programs, offering maps for others. Demonstrating the ways that higher education can intervene in and disrupt the deeply traumatic experience of incarceration and shift the embedded social-emotional cycles that lead to recidivism, this book is both inspiration and guide for those seeking to create and sustain programs as well as to educate students about the types of programs universities bring to prisons"--

A key question for the contemporary world: What is Putin's ideology? This book analyses this ideology, which it terms "Putinism". It examines a range of factors that feed into the ideology – conservative thought in Russia from the nineteenth century onwards, Russian and Soviet history and their memorialisation, Russian Orthodox religion and its political connections, a focus on traditional values, and Russia's sense of itself as a unique civilisation, different from the West and due a special, respected place in the world. The book highlights that although the resulting ideology lacks coherence and universalism comparable to that of Soviet-era Marxism-Leninism, it is nevertheless effective in aligning the population to the regime and is flexible and applicable in different circumstances. And that therefore it is not attached to Putin as a person, is likely to outlive him, and is potentially appealing elsewhere in the world outside Russia, especially to countries that feel belittled by the West and let down by the West's failure to resolve problems of global injustice and inequality.

Investigating the history of vagrants in colonial Australia and New Zealand, this book provides insights into the histories and identities of marginalised peoples in the British Pacific Empire. Showing how their experiences were produced, shaped and transformed through laws and institutions, it reveals how the most vulnerable people in colonial society were regulated, marginalised and criminalised in the imperial world. Studying the language of vagrancy prosecution, narratives of mobility and welfare, vagrant families, gender and mobility and the political, social and cultural interpretations of vagrancy, this book sets out a conceptual framework of mobility as a field of inquiry for legal and historical studies. Defining mobility as population movement and the occupation of new social and physical space, it offers an entry point to the related histories of penal colonies and new settler societies. It provides insights into shared histories of vagrancy across New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania and New Zealand, and explores how different jurisdictions regulated mobility within the temporal and geographical space of the British Pacific Empire

"China is caught in the rapids of the largest policy crackdown in history. The ferocity of this far-reaching crackdown, dispersed across every market sector, has cast into scrutiny a newly emerging era of development and raised new questions about what it means for the future of Chinese governance and development. Has China abandoned its modern commitment to market-oriented reforms? Is this a reversion to the bygone days of Maoist Communism? The ongoing crackdown, this book argues, is not a break from but a continuation of the legacy of development initiated fifty years ago under Deng Xiaoping. Drawing on rich economic and developmental data, the book recasts old ideas about Chinese governance with cutting-edge insights into the economic machinery and policy regime that drive modern China. As it shows, the seemingly unconnected parts of the ongoing crackdown across China - the shadow banking network, real estate, internet technology, entertainment, housing, private education - can all be understood in terms of a consistent, continuous economic model. It explores the social structure of this economic model, from an ideological foundation that is not political but cultural in nature, to its institutional arrangements and macroeconomic and fiscal policies. The book discusses the policy interventions and development goals motivated by these social structures, offering a major new contribution to understanding the social and economic challenges that face China today - and its next fifty years. The book will appeal to a broad academic audience, especially given the growing prominence of Chinese development in the context of development in the Asia-Pacific at large"--

"This volume explores the political theology of Paul Tillich, one of the foremost thinkers of the twentieth century. Tillich's discerning analysis of fascism, grounded in his socialist commitments, and continuing efforts to write theology in correlation with culture, make his voice a crucial one for contemporary political theology"--
