Die Dissertation hat die Absicht, eine originelle Herangehensweise zur Natur der europäischen Integration vorzustellen. In diesem Zusammenhang zieht sie ein spezifisches Ereignis als Fallstudie in Betracht, das eine beispiellose politische sowie geschichtliche Bedeutung hat, d.h. die EU-Erweiterung 2004. Genau der Diskurs, der eine solche Bedeutung im Laufe des Erweiterungsprozesses einrichtete und letztendlich legitimierte, steht im Kern einer Analyse, die sich auf den geschichtsphilosophischen Grundsatz der politischen Philosophie Hegels verlässt. Nach der Rechtsphilosophie Hegels gibt es in der Tat nur eine Macht jenseits des Staates: die Geschichte. Die Geschichte ist aber eine diskursive Deutung, deren Gültigkeit von historischen Bedingungen abhängt. In diesem Sinne wird der politische Diskurs der EU-Erweiterung als eine Geschichtsdeutung analysiert, um zu klarmachen, dass die Macht Europäische Union von einer neuen Art sein könnte: eine "geschichtliche Macht".

Focusing primarily on the writings of Kierkegaard and secondarily on those of Kant, St Augustine and Schelling, this work offers a different way of approaching the concepts of anxiety, repetition, freedom and contemporaneity. Pivotal to this project is a reinterpretation of Kierkegaard's notion of 'taking notice'
'Class' is a fiendishly complex and dynamic concept. This is of course true for those working with and through class explicitly, but perhaps even more so for those of us working on social issues in general. We often hear talk of 'the' working class, 'the' middle classes, or indeed 'the' capitalist class, which can give the impression that they are pre-determined, even static, categories; or that their very nature is something inherited, passed down from one generation to the next, and that perhaps they come with certain guarantees – particularly in relation to political identity and electoral politics.

In a recent issue of Le nouvel observateur, a sort of upscale weekly whose influence in France resembles that of Time or Newsweek in the United States, the cover story and main theme concerned the global force of French culture. More than half of the magazine was devoted to evaluating the national culture's vitality and viability outside the national borders. The magazine reviewed all the domains of cultural production, from cinema to architecture, including literature, philosophy, painting, and even rap music. In trying to represent the contemporary dynamism of French knowledge and ideas in the age of what it called "computer intellectuals," one article (entitled "Quand la pensée française voyage sur Internet") opted for a statistical analysis of data reported in the American Citation Index, which lists authors and texts cited in academic journals. The French found reasons to be very proud: in 1994, Foucault was cited 1,085 times, followed by Bourdieu (624 times), Derrida (293 times), Baudrillard (232 times), Levi-Strauss (186 times), Lyotard (183 times), Ricoeur (177 times), Barthes (154 times), Lacan (118 times), Sartre (90 times), Braudel (86 times), and so on. Furthermore, Foucault was quoted significantly more than any other writer: Habermas, for example, was cited only 918 times and John Rawls, 664 times. As the author was quick to point out, French culture and knowledge are obviously holding their own in the global marketplace; they seemingly have no trouble transcending the confines of national debates and contributing to transnational debates of a more universal character.
Cet article porte sur l'efficacité politique d'une série photographique qui problématise des questions socioculturelles contemporaines telles l'immigration, l'exploitation et l'éthique du travail. L'image photographique devient une ressource dans les mains des acteurs sociaux et fait fonction de diagnostic des tensions du contemporain. La photographie permet de «reconnaître à travers» (c'est-à-dire « diagnostiquer ») et de formuler des jugements. Le potentiel sémantique du diagnostic engendré par cette série et la force illocutoire des jugements qui y sont inscrits fonctionnent comme une sorte d'« argumentation par images ». L'analyse de cette série photographique, réalisée par le photographe et théoricien Allan Sekula, nous a amené à nous interroger sur la relation entre image, corpus, genres d'afférence et statuts (documentaire et artistique). ; Peer reviewed

Multifactorial perspectives, whether sociological, cultural, anthropological, historical, biological or psychological, serve as the basis for a considerable amount of research, including how youth and adolescents are influenced by the sociocultural aspects that guide the way they are seen and see the society around them. For researchers and scholars who focus on this subject, it is worth asking: what characterizes adolescence as a social construction in different regions of the planet? The Social Construction of Adolescence in Contemporaneity considers the social field of adolescence in different societies. Recognizing external cultural or societal factors that can influence individual development, contributors discuss a variety of regional traits that can characterize this group, reflecting on the concept of adolescence as a phenomenon of its own in the field of sociology. Expanding this area of youth studies across specific contexts, The Social Construction of Adolescence in Contemporaneity offers new interpretive possibilities to deepen the understanding of issues that concern young people.

This assessment of Leon Wainwright's recent monograph, Timed Out: Art and the Transnational Caribbean (2011), focuses on the temporal dimensions of Caribbean art production and reception, including the reception of Caribbean art in the United Kingdom and United States as being "out of time" and behind the pace of modernity. In contrast, Wainwright's text argues for an understanding of Caribbean art as reflecting the immediacy of a Caribbean present, with its particular relation to the circulation of Caribbean works and artists between home and diaspora.

"Generations, Contemporaneity, and Intersectionality in Literary History. While several traditional concepts of literary history, including literary periods, periodization itself, and genre, have been recently put into question and reframed in transnational, cross-temporal, and transdisciplinary ways, the notion of generation has received much less attention. At the same time, in various branches of cultural studies, and even more prominently in sociology, the problem of generations has taken center stage once again. In this article, the critic takes as her departure point Mihai Iovănel's 2021 History of Contemporary Romanian Literature: 1990-2020 to discuss how the generational operator could be employed in post-Cold War literary history. Mironescu argues that a transversal and intersectional integration of generation into contemporary literary criticism could ensure a better understanding of intra- and transgenerational dynamics in terms of self-representations and group narratives, inclusions and exclusions, as well as gender and literary affiliations. Keywords: generation, generationality, literary history, postcommunism, intersectionality"
