Auf dem Hintergrund der nationalen und internationalen politischen Entwicklung in den sechziger Jahren stellt der Verfasser die Diskussion und Einflußmöglichkeiten der Linken innerhalb der SPÖ dar. Das linke Potential innerhalb der Partei kam seit dem Anfang der sechziger Jahre vor allem aus den Jugendorganisationen der SPÖ. Organisationsstruktur, Mitgliedschaft, Ideologie und Programmatik der Linken werden hinsichtlich der innerpolitischen, innerparteilichen und internationalen Konflikte analysiert. Da es in Österreich im Gegensatz zu anderen Ländern keine gut organisierte 'Neue Linke' gab, kam es weder zu einer Parteispaltung noch zu zahlreichen Parteiausschlüssen. Die Linke blieb in der Partei, wo sie nach Ansicht des Verfassers die SPÖ in ihre Überlegungen einbeziehen, sich aber nicht den Zwängen des Parteiestablishments beugen sollte. (KS)

Czech Political Prisoners is about the legacy of political violence under Socialism in Central Eastern Europe. In light of reconciliation, in post-Socialist Czech Republic former political prisoners' various memories reveal how the notions of time, space, and law were altered under the long-term terror of a totalitarian regime. Claiming their lost social face, political prisoners reveal their redefined subjectivities and new forms of social relations-kinship and citizenship

This article examines how the people known as Smith Islanders interact with their environment over the life-course. The purpose of the study is to contribute to a better understanding of aging in a small, rural, coastal community which changes are environmentally driven. To address the aging process in changing environments in this essay, I explore the relationship between the place, sense of self, and knowledge. Because the majority of people on the island today are in late life, the main threads in the fabric of this ethnographic narrative weave themselves into stories about aging experiences. I focus on males' experiences, their traditional knowledge, and the role of kinship over their life-courses. The life history narratives of a Smith Island waterman known as Eddie Boy, discusses two elements present in both his childhood narratives and his late adulthood: work and kinship. I show how changing socio-ecology has altered the potential for intergenerational relations, which older islanders cherish, and how such changes in late life pose a new aging dilemma for current Smith Islanders.

Abstract

New insights and ideas for an edition of Huguccio's Summa decretorum. A critical edition of Huguccio's monumental and eminently influential Summa decretorum has long been an urgent desideratum of canonist research. The present contribution evaluates previous research conducted by Oldřich Přerovský (1924–2013) and presents the results of our own sample edition of parts of Huguccio's commentary on the pars prima of the Decretum Gratiani. In particular, we offer new insights into the Summa's complex manuscript tradition and propose a thorough revision of Přerovský's editorial methodology with the aim of relaunching the Huguccio edition in the future.

This book engages anthropologically with humor as political expression. It reveals how humor is in many instances central to human efforts to cope with political struggle and significant to understanding power dynamics in socio-political life. The chapters examine humor and joking activities across a diverse range of geographic areas and cultural contexts. The contributors consider humor as it is constituted in political anxiety, aggression and power, and when it becomes a tool to resist, repair, reconcile or make a moral claim. Collectively they demonstrate that humor can provide a powerful critique, a non-violent form of political protest and the space for restoration of human dignity.
