African cultural productions of humour have increased even in the face of myriad economic foibles and social upheavals. For instance, from the 1990s, stand-up comedy emerged across the continent and has maintained a pervasive presence since then. Its specificities are related to contemporary economic and political contexts and are also drawn from its pre-colonial history, that of joking forms and relationships, and orality. Izuu Nwankw¿'s fasc...

Im späten 18. Jahrhundert tauchte zum ersten Mal in der Geschichte das Phänomen des Nationalismus auf. In Europa gab es bald keine Region mehr, die von den verheerenden Folgen nationalistischer Ideologie verschont blieb, keine Herrschaft, die es sich leisten konnte, den "Willen der Nation", Rousseaus volonté général, zu ignorieren. Der Nationalstaat wurde zur scheinbar natürlichen politischen Organisationsform. Erst in der heutigen Zeit zeigen...

Was hilft es dem Menschen, wenn er die ganze Welt gewinnt, aber Schaden leidet an seiner Seele?" (Matth. 16, 26) Wird diese Ansicht auch heute noch weithin geteilt? Es mehren sich Stimmen, die behaupten: Unzeitgemäß und unwissenschaftlich sei diese Beschwörungsformel. Weiß nicht jedes Kind: Das Gehirn, das der Transhumanist mit seinen elektronischen Schaltkreisen so recht ertüchtigen will, macht die Seele? Sie sei hinfällig wie jedes Ding, wir...

Traditionally, far-right terrorism has been the black swan of terrorism studies-receiving less attention than Jihadi extremism. In this book, William Allchorn takes a deep dive into multiple geographical locales and the online space of far-right movements, uncovering the crisis narratives that are animating violent far-right extremist milieus and presenting solutions on what we can do to stop them. Using eight country case studies and the resu...

The book series European Studies in the Caucasus offers innovative perspectives on regional studies of the Caucasus. By embracing the South Caucasus as well as Turkey and Russia, it moves away from a traditional viewpoint of European Studies that considers the countries of the region as objects of Europeanization. This second volume demonstrates this by looking into forms of inter-regionalism in the Black Sea-South Caucasus area in fields of e...

From its roots in revolution and war, Ukraine's Azov movement has grown from a militia of fringe far-right figures and football hooligans fending off Russian-backed forces into a multipronged social movement that has become the envy of the global far right. In this first English-language book on the Azov movement, Michael Colborne explains how Azov came to be and continues to exploit Ukraine's fractured social and political situation-including...

Eine Reflexzonenmassage? Nein, eine Reflexionszonenmassage! Klar, Sie müssen mit beiden Füßen fest auf dem Boden der Wirklichkeit stehen, aber was wollen Sie mit Ihrem Kopf - gar durch die Wand? Er, der Kopf - von Natur aus dem Himmel immer schon ein Stück näher -, ist das Organ des Über-, Auf- und Durchblicks. Lassen Sie Ihr Geistzentrum anwehen von Gedanken und Reflexionen, die Sie abheben lassen bzw. Ihr Leben in Bewegung bringen, "himmelwä...

The Helsinki Final Act of the 1975 Conference on Security and Co-operation in Europe (CSCE) set the rules for legitimate changes in national frontiers: They must be accomplished by peaceful means and agreement. Together with the Charter of Paris for a New Europe of 1990, the Helsinki Accords paved the way for a peaceful coexistence of the West and the Eastern Bloc. The Paris conference ended the Cold War, issuing a "Joint Declaration of Twenty...

Ever since I left the land that was my home, wherever I have traveled and lived, I have been asked the same question: How could a Hitler happen, in the land of poets and scientists and thinkers, the land of music and arts, the land of plenty, the land of orderliness and efficiency, of cleanliness and dependability, the very land of humaneness? Born in Hannover in 1905 as a German Jew, Fred Harry Meyer (1905-1969) and his new Christian bride fl...

This study launches a systematic inquiry into the nature of the concept of humanitarian intervention, focusing on its primary function of the protection of the endangered civilian populations who find themselves at the grave risk of genocide. This is strengthened by a recollection of selected historical examples of similar events and the responses to them by the international community, empowered by our modern understanding of the principle of...

This timely book analyses 'soft power' in the light of neoclassical realist premises as part of the foreign policy toolkit of great powers to expand their sphere of influence. Vasif Huseynov argues that if nuclear armed great powers compete against the same type of powers to expand or sustain their sphere of influence over a populated region, they use soft power as a major expansive instrument while military power remains a tool to defend them...

Der Schöpfungstraum vom "Neuen Menschen" ist ... einer der erfolgreichsten Exportartikel der frühsowjetischen Spielart (des) Utopismus...Das Heilsversprechen der Inkarnation als Neuer Mensch vermochte es mehr als alle marxistische Ideologie, Energien freizusetzen. Dies lag vor allem daran, dass es neben einer vordergründig kollektiven auch eine individuelle Erlösungsutopie barg, in der die seit dem Ausgang des 19. Jahrhunderts virulenten Erneu...
