Meindert Bylsma Moard yn tsjerke
De koster fan in tsjerke makket alles ree foar de ynspeksje fan 'e grêfkelder dy't ûnder it gongpaad foar de preekstoel leit. Yn dy kelder lizze bonkerakken fan trije froulju fan boere-adel. Dy ynspeksje moat alle jierren dien wurde. Dat is fêstlein yn in âld testamint. Hjoed de dei wurdt der in lyts feestlik barren fan makke. Op in stuit is, op ien nei, elkenien oanwêzich. De koster iepenet it lûk alfêst mar. Hy jout in alderheislikste gjalp. Op 'e trep nei de kelder leit in lyk. Wurk oan...

Maarten A. Oversier Daseinsrecht
Licht in die verdrängte Geschichte, die wir noch in uns tragen
Das Echo unverarbeiterer Traumata aus vergangenen Zeiten und sogar früheren Leben belastet den modernen Menschen - körperlich, seelisch oder emotional. Doch welche Entstehungsgeschichte steht wirklich hinter diesen Traumatisierungen? In seiner gut 25-jährigen Tätigkeit als Reinkarnations- und Rückführungstherapeut stellt Maarten Oversier fest, dass die Ursachen der Probleme seiner Klienten eigentlich immer in drei typischen Bereichen der Geschichte liegen: in schockierenden und darum oft verdrängten...

William Shakespeare Othello
World Classics
Beginning in the streets of Venice, Roderigo and Iago are introduced in the heart of an argument. Iago is frantic as he has been disregarded for promotion and plots to take revenge against his General, Othello.

This ultimately blinds him to Iago’s betrayal, stirring...

Heraldic hierarchies
identity, status and state intervention in early modern heraldry
Early modern heraldry was far from a nostalgic remnant from a feudal past. From the Reformation to the French Revolution, aspiring men seized on these signs to position themselves in a changing society, imbuing heraldic tradition with fresh meaning. Whereas post-medieval developments are all too often described in terms of decadence and stifling formality, recent studies rightly stress the dynamic capacity of bearing arms. Heraldic Hierarchies aims to correct former misconceptions. Contributing authors...

Using works from illustrated scientific texts to contemporary comics across national traditions, we discover how the graphic narrative can shed new light on everyday experiences....

Missionary education
historical approaches and global perspectives
Missionaries have been subject to academic and societal debate. Some scholars highlight their contribution to the spread of modernity and development among local societies, whereas others question their motives and emphasise their inseparable connection with colonialism. In this volume, fifteen authors - from both Europe and the Global South - address these often polemical positions by focusing on education, one of the most prominent fields in which missionaries have been active. They elaborate on...

Neo-Thomism in action
law and society reshaped by Neo-Scholastic philosophy 1880-1960
In his encyclical Aeterni Patris (1879), Pope Leo XIII expressed the conviction that the renewed study of the philosophical legacy of Saint Thomas Aquinas would help Catholics to engage in a dialogue with secular modernity while maintaining respect for Church doctrine and tradition. As a result, the neo-scholastic framework dominated Catholic intellectual production for nearly a century thereafter. This volume assesses the societal impact of the Thomist revival movement, with particular attention...

Situatedness and performativity
translation and interpreting practice revisited
Translating and interpreting are unpredictable social practices framed by historical, ethical, and political constraints. Using the concepts of situatedness and performativity as anchors, the authors examine translation practices from the perspectives of identity performance, cultural mediation, historical reframing, and professional training. As such, the chapters focus on enacted events and conditioned practices by exploring production processes and the social, historical, and cultural conditions...

Cold war Mary
ideologies, politics, Marian devotional culture
One hardly known but fascinating aspect of the Cold War was the use of the holy Virgin Mary as a warrior against atheist ideologies. After the Second World War, there was a remarkable rise in the West of religiously inflected rhetoric against what was characterised as "godless communism". The leaders of the Roman Catholic Church not only urged their followers to resist socialism, but along with many prominent Catholic laity and activist movements they marshaled the support of Catholics into a spiritual...

Photography’s materialities
transatlantic photographic practices over the long nineteenth century
There is little dispute that photography is a material practice, and that the photograph itself is ineluctably material. And yet "matter," "material," and "materiality" have proven to be remarkably elusive terms of inquiry, frequently producing studies that are disparate in scope, sharing seemingly little common ground. Although the wide methodological range of materialist study can be dizzying, it is this book's contention that that multiplicity is also the field's greatest asset, keeping materialist...
