Verlagsinfo: "Fracassée comme tant d'autres après le massacre perpétré par le Hamas le 7 octobre 2023 en Israël, l'auteur voit son monde s'effondrer. Elle dont la mission consiste à porter la souffrance des autres sur ses épaules et à la soulager par ses mots, se trouve soudain en état de sidération, impuissante et aphasique. Dans la fièvre, elle écrit alors ce petit traité de survie, comme une tranche d'auto-analyse qui la fait revenir sur ses fondements existentiels. Le texte est composé de dix conversations réelles ou imaginaires : conversation avec ma douleur, conversation avec mes grands-parents, conversation avec la paranoïa juive, conversation avec Claude François, conversation avec les antiracistes, conversation avec Rose, conversation avec mes enfants, conversation avec ceux qui me font du bien, conversation avec Israël, conversation avec le Messie."

"This book explores the rise of a Scottish common law from the twelfth century on despite the absence until around 1500 of a secular legal profession. Key stimuli were the activity of church courts and canon lawyers in Scotland, coupled with the example provided by neighbouring England's common law. The laity's legal consciousness arose from exposure to law by way of constant participation in legal processes in court and daily transactions. This experience enabled some to become judges, pleaders in court and transactional lawyers and lay the foundations for an emergent professional group by the end of the medieval period"--

"Chinese Empresses highlights the stories of Chinese imperial women and how male authorities attempted to curb their power. It disputes the notion that Chinese empresses were simply hapless or powerless victims of the male-dominated political system"--

"Conscription, Conscientious Objection, and Draft Resistance in American History is the definitive history of conscription in America. It is the first book ever to consider the entire temporal sweep of conscription from pre-Revolutionary War colonial militia drafts through the end of the Vietnam era. Each chapter contains an examination of that era's draft law, the actual workings of the conscription machinery, and relevant court decisions that shaped the draft in practice. In addition, the book describes the popular opposition to conscription: organized and unorganized, violent and nonviolent, public and clandestine, legal and illegal. Using sources never before utilized by historians, including government documents obtained in Freedom of Information Act requests, the book demonstrates how anti-conscription sentiment has been far deeper than is popularly appreciated"--

Die staatliche Strafe ist eine Institution, deren Natur und Rechtfertigung in ihrem Kernbereich bis heute vage geblieben sind. Kristina Peters nimmt die Straftheorie Hegels in den Blick und bringt sie in einen Dialog mit aktuellen Entwürfen. Wo hat sich die Debatte weiterentwickelt? Wo bestehen weiterhin altbekannte Probleme? Wo war die Diskussion vielleicht schon einmal weiter?

This book offers a critical analysis of global mobilities across China and Italy in history. In three periods in the twentieth century, new patterns of physical mobilities and cultural contact were established between the two countries which were either novel at the time of their emergence or impactful on subsequent periods. The first two chapters provide overviews of writings by Italians in China and by Chinese in Italy in the twentieth century. The remaining chapters cover: Republican Chinas relationships with Italy and Italian Fascist colonialism in China during the 1920s1930s; Italian travelers to China during the Cold War from the 1950s to the 1970s; migrations between China and Italy during the 2000s2010s. In analyzing these cultural mobilities, this book opens a new line of inquiry in Chinese-Italian Cultural Studies, which has been dominated by historical study, and contributes a significant case study to the scholarship on global cultural mobilities

Arbeitsrecht in der WissenschaftWie lässt sich die Mitgliedschaft in Tarifträgerverbänden stärken? Prof. Dr. Olaf Deinert schlägt eine Konditionierung der Allgemeinverbindlicherklärung vor. Ziel ist es, durch eine Verbindung von exklusiven Mitgliedervorteilen auf Arbeitnehmerseite einerseits und einer auf Arbeitgeberseite beschränkten Allgemeinverbindlichkeit von Tarifverträgen andererseits einen Anreiz zum Gewerkschaftsbeitritt zu schaffen und damit zur Stabilisierung des Tarifträgerverbandes beizutragen. Anders als die Allgemeinverbindlicherklärung nach Maßgabe des 5 Abs. 4 TVG wäre ein Tarifvertrag für alle Arbeitgeber innerhalb seines Geltungsbereichs unabhängig von der Verbandsmitgliedschaft bindend, jedoch - und das ist die Krux - nur im Verhältnis zu den kraft Mitgliedschaft tarifgebundenen Arbeitnehmern

The volume - whose chapters originated at panels at the International Byzantine Congress in Belgrade and at the IMC in Leeds - seeks to offer an introduction into various aspects of social and geographical mobility, and the intrinsic relationship between the two, as well as into the microstructures of social action in the Byzantine world during the high and late Middle Ages. Based on a balanced approach to the role of personal agency and social structure, the authors of the individual chapters seek to clarify how and why various kinds of people mobilized to either change place and/or social position, or to form groups whose actions shaped social reality both at the imperial centre and the provincial periphery

"Rudolf Bahro, Wolfgang Harich and Robert Havemann were probably the best-known critics of the DDR's ruling Socialist Unity Party. Yet they saw themselves as Marxists, and their demands extended far beyond a democratisation of real socialism. When environmental issues became more important in the West in the 1970s, the Party treated it as an ideological manoeuvre of the class enemy. The three dissidents saw things differently: they combined socialism and ecology, adopting a utopian perspective frowned upon by the state. In doing so, they created political concepts that were unique for the Eastern Bloc. Alexander Amberger introduces them, relates them to each other, and poses the question of their relevance then and now"--
