Die moderne Archäologie hat viele Facetten. Das zeigt einmal mehr die Gedenkschrift für Hans-Joachim Schalles, den Xantener Wissenschaftler und langjährigen Museumsleiter. Archäologinnen und Archäologen, die dem Verstorbenen eng verbunden waren, präsentieren eine rätselhafte Minerva, ausgewählte Funde aus Ausgrabungen auf dem Gebiet der Colonia Ulpia Traiana (Xanten) und den jüngst entdeckten Zierbeschlag einer römischen Schwertscheide aus den Niederlanden. Welche Funktion hatte ein geheimnisvoller Tunnel in der römischen Stadtmauer von Köln und was verbirgt sich hinter einer kleinen Gruppe römischer Gräber nördlich der Colonia? Wir erfahren Wissenswertes über die Anfänge der Xantener Antikensammlung, Überraschendes zum Inhalt des mittelalterlichen Viktorschreines im Xantener Dom und lernen archäologische Ferienkurse kennen, die Archäologen für Lehrer im Deutschen Kaiserreich ausrichteten.Die Gedenkschrift, die sich der Archäologie der römischen Provinz Niedergermanien, der Rezeptionsgeschichte und Bodendenkmalpflege widmet, ist ein Spiegelbild der vielfältigen Forschungsinteressen von Hans-Joachim Schalles

On 26th January 1950 India became a republic, shedding its last links with its colonial past and inaugurating a new era of liberty and freedom. With fundamental rights and civil liberties guaranteed by the state, the new constitution was universally acclaimed as the world s greatest experiment in liberal government . This idealistic birth of a new republic meant a clean break with a repressive past. And yet, barely twelve months later, the very makers of the constitution were denouncing their own creation. Passed in June 1951, the First Amendment to the Constitution was a pivotal moment in Indian constitutional history. Sixteen Stormy Days explores the contentious legacy of this First Amendment which drastically curbed freedom of speech, restricted freedom against discrimination and circumscribed the right to property. It follows the sixteen days of debate that led up to it, the people that created it, the great battle waged against it and the immense consequences it has had for Indian democracy. It is a cautionary tale about an almost forgotten but hugely consequential piece of history that holds the key to understanding the position of civil liberties and individual freedoms in India today. It challenges conventional wisdom on iconic figures such as Jawaharlal Nehru, B.R. Ambedkar, Rajendra Prasad, Sardar Patel and Shyama Prasad Mookerji, and lays bare the vast gulf between the liberal promise of India s Constitution and the authoritarian impulses of her first government

"Walsh, Caldwell and Jureidini offer an expansive linguistic perspective on the evaluative language prevalent in the world of professional sports. This book presents a close linguistic analysis of evaluative language in sport. Drawing on appraisal theory and data from three distinct sporting contexts - songs and chants in football stadiums, television commentary, and coach discourse - it examines the critical role played by affectual, judgemental and appreciative language. In the spirit of sociolinguistics, this book also considers the history and culture of the respective sporting contexts. Connections are made between the evaluative language expressed by supporters, commentators and coaches and the invocation of power and solidarity. Evaluative Language in Sports gives insight into some of the key language practices that contribute to professional sports culture: a communal and combative world of winners and losers, 'us and 'them'. An innovative and valuable book that will appeal to students, researchers and sports enthusiasts interested in sports communication and language, sociolinguistics and media studies"--

"Ruanni Tupas presents rich insights into the inequalities of Englishes and the ways in which these inequalities shape and impact English and multilingual speakers from around the world. This edited volume gives a critical take on world Englishes, while showcasing for readers the various inequalities in treatment towards the people who speak English differently, as well as the injustice in that treatment. Research methodologies are explored, providing a glimpse into how data are collected, and lending a more thorough look into each study and its conclusions. Chapters address the geopolitics of knowledge production in the teaching, learning and use of English, with strong representations from the peripheries of sociolinguistic studies of English. English is constructed as a language which enables socioeconomic mobility which is one factor that increases the importance of research into this issue, and this book enables researchers to widen their methods of research and apply them to their area of study. A valuable text for academic researchers, as well as postgraduate and advanced undergraduate students to better understand the linguistic, sociopolitical and epistemic inequality in English communication. It also provides readers with alternative perspectives on lingua-cultural pluralism to unpack social inequalities and hierarchies that exist today"--

"This book introduces the 'southern criminology' movement, explores its theoretical, methodological, and philosophical tools, offers analytical accounts on the development of criminological thoughts in marginalised regions, and showcases the cutting edge of criminological research from southern settings. Southernising Criminology is structured into three sections. The first provides theoretical and methodological insights into how criminology can be southernised, including renowned social scientists who share concerns for the need to reconceptualise the centre, the periphery, and their relations. The second part brings the reader up-to-date with the state of criminological research in different parts of the world and how far this landscape has changed when introducing southern perspectives. The third part shows first-hand examples of how southern criminology is done, with its challenges and transformative potential for criminological knowledge. Bringing together contributions from leading scholars working across the five continents and drawing on issues such as state criminality, violent crime, criminal justice practices, state and non-state punishment, this book offers a critical account of the problems of metropolitan thinking, colonial and imperial power relations, and Western ethnocentric approaches to criminology. It offers a nuanced and grounded reflection on how things are being done differently and why that is important. An accessible and compelling read, this book will appeal to students and scholars of criminology, sociology, politics, and policy makers from around the world who are interested in the field of criminology and are aware of the urgent need for it to be decolonised and democratised"--
