Sterbehilfe als Liebestod : Existenzielles Leiden in Literatur und Film der Gegenwart /
:
Wie soll mit dem Sterbewunsch betagter Paare umgegangen werden, die einander nicht überleben wollen - gerade wenn nur eine*r der beiden schwer erkrankt ist? Und soll der*die Hinterbliebene, der*die den Verlust des geliebten Menschen nicht erträgt, ihm durch Sterbehilfe in den Tod folgen dürfen? Diese aktuellen gesellschaftspolitischen Fragen werden wiederholt auch von Literatur und Film aufgegriffen. Mehr noch: Sie lassen sich ohne literarischen Bezugshorizont nicht denken. Mit dem Liebestod haben unzählige Geschichten seit der Antike die affektiv meist positiv besetzte Vorstellung davon geschaffen, wie Liebende den Tod einem Leben ohne den*die andere*n vorziehen. Die Studie untersucht dreizehn literarische und filmische Werke der Gegenwart, die das Motiv im Kontext der Sterbehilfe aktualisieren. Sie fragt danach, in welcher Weise es erzählerisch fruchtbar gemacht wird. Wie wird der Verlust des*der Geliebten als Sterbemotiv greifbar? Wie wird dieses reflektiert, kommentiert, kritisiert oder affirmiert? Welche ethischen Perspektiven eröffnet das traditions- und facettenreiche Motiv im Sterbehilfediskurs des 21. Jahrhunderts?

The ethics and religious philosophy of Etty Hillesum : proceedings of the Etty Hillesum Conference at Ghent University, January 2014 /
:
The Ethics and Religious Philosophy of Etty Hillesum contains the proceedings of the second international Etty Hillesum Congress at Ghent University in January 2014 and is a joint effort by fifteen Hillesum experts to shed new light on the life, works and vision of the Dutch Jewish writer Etty Hillesum (1914-1943), one of the victims of the Nazi-regime. Hillesum's diaries and letters illustrate her heroic struggle to come to terms with her personal life in the context of the Holocaust. This volume revives Hillesum research with a comprehensive rereading of her texts. With the current rise of interest in peace studies, Judaism, the Holocaust, inter-religious dialogue, gender studies and mysticism, it is evident that this book will be invaluable to students and scholars in various disciplines.

Hoards, grave goods, jewellery : objects in hoards and in burial contexts during the Mongol invasion of Central-Eastern Europe /
:
This monograph examines one specific hoard horizon, which is connected to the Mongol invasion of Hungary (1241-42). With this catastrophic event, the historical context is both well-known and much discussed by contemporaries and modern scholars. This opportunity to examine material connected to a sole event, but across a broad spectrum of geographical space and social class, is unique for hoard horizons in Hungary, and, for that matter, in Europe. Though this study focuses on hoards connected to the Mongol invasion, it is also relevant beyond this specific context. The work addresses issues concerning hoard finds and material culture, and examines how finds are related when found in different contexts (a hoard, grave, or settlement feature), thus the questions raised and conclusions reached are important for other medieval hoard finds.

Roman pottery in the Near East : local production and regional trade : proceedings of the Round Table held in Berlin, 19-20 February 2010 /
:
Discussions and scientific exchange are crucial for the advancement of a young discipline such as the study of Roman pottery in the Near East. Therefore, in addition to large conferences such as the 'Late Roman Coarse Ware Conference' (LRCW) where the Near East plays only a marginal role, an international workshop with 20 participants dedicated solely to the study of Roman common ware pottery in the Near East was held in Berlin on 18th and 19th February 2010. The goal of this workshop was to provide researchers actively engaged in the study of Roman common wares the possibility to meet and discuss the current state of research as well as questions and problems they are facing with their material. This volume presents 17 papers from this event.
