"This book proposes a political history of Muslim universities in post-independence India, from 1947 to the 1990s. Based on a wide range of sources in English and in Urdu, it highlights the central role that these educational institutions played in the debates on national integration, secularism, minority rights and Muslim backwardness. After independence, Muslim universities found themselves at a critical juncture between central state authorities and India's Muslim population. As public and Muslim institutions, they were to participate in nation-building as much as in the development of the Muslim 'community'. By closely looking at the relation between these institutions and state authorities, the book teases out the ambiguities of the state's Muslim policy. It also examines, in turn, how university members responded to this policy and developed competing conceptions of Muslim identity and citizenship, which structured the wider public debates on Muslims' status in post-partition India"--

"This interdisciplinary edited collection features historians, anthropologists, artists, and activists who explore a transpacific understanding of the legacies of the testing and use of nuclear weapons. Instead of limiting the focus of the nuclear humanities to Hiroshima and Nagasaki, these essays take readers from the New Mexican desert, to the islands of the Pacific Ocean, to small fishing villages on the island of Shikoku in Japan. They bring together different times and places as well as art historical analysis and academic essays. Focusing on themes of resistance, this collection illustrates the varied methods artists and activists can use to combat nuclear regimes through their aesthetic and political work. By putting activists and artists together, it demonstrates the overlaps and linkages between them as well as the different ways political and artistic expression can respond to nuclear threats and effect change. Through the personal testimonies of hibakushas, lawsuits filed to demand compensation for the medical treatment of affected fisherman, community education programs that raise historical awareness, and artistic projects that provide social commentary, this volume illustrates that nuclear resistance can come in many forms"--

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the lives of many people around the globe and has brought to the fore discussions about the ways in which relations of power have shaped human biology and the health of populations. Focusing on these biopolitics, this collection brings together a number of historical and cultural perspectives on processes of othering in the long transnational human history of epidemics and pandemics. Contributors explore the intertwinement of biopolitics and othering with regard to specific bodies, people, and places, in relation to COVID-19 and beyond, as they discuss othering dynamics in the context of post/colonialism and with reference to a number of different cultural, political, medical and media discourses

Der Begriff der Resilienz ist in den Rechtswissenschaften erst in jüngerer Zeit und nur vereinzelt aufgegriffen worden. Bezogen auf den Klimaschutz geht es darum, rechtzeitig und effizient einem weiteren Anstieg der Temperatur entgegenzuwirken sowie schützende Anpassungsstrategien zu entwickeln. Anhand von sieben Vorträgen haben Professorinnen und Professoren der Rechtswissenschaft und weiterer Disziplinen über die interdisziplinäre und gesellschaftliche Dimension der Klimaresilienz, den Energiebinnenmarkt und die europäische Energiesolidarität, mögliche Konflikte zwischen Versorgungssicherheit und Klimaschutz, die Grundstrukturen und Gütekriterien des Klimawandelfolgenrechts sowie das Recht der Hochwasservorsorge diskutiert. Die Beiträge werden durch diesen Band einer weiteren Fachöffentlichkeit zugänglich gemacht werden.Mit Beiträgen vonProf. Dr. Kurt Faßbender | Prof. Dr. Jörg Gundel | Prof. Dr. Patrick Hilbert | Prof. Dr. Charlotte Kreuter-Kirchhof | Prof. Dr. Harald Kunstmann | Prof. Dr. Dres. h.c.
