Dalmatia and the Mediterranean : portable archeology and the poetics of influence /
:
Using the Braudelian concept of the Mediterranean this volume focuses on the condition of "coastal exchanges" involving the Dalmatian littoral and its Adriatic and more distant maritime network. Spalato and Ragusa intersect with Constantinople, Cairo and Spanish Naples just as Sinan, Palladio and Robert Adam cross paths in this liquid expanse. Concentrating on materiality and on the arts, architecture in particular, the authors identify portability and hybridity as characteristic of these exchanges, and tease out expected and unexpected serendipitous moments when they occurred. Focusing on translation and its instruments these essays expand the traditional concept of influence by thrusting mobility and the \'hardware\' of cultural transmission, its mechanisms, rather than its effects, into the foreground.

Das katholische '68 : Die Auswirkungen der »Pillenenzyklika« Humanae vitae auf das Katholischsein in der Bundesrepublik /
:
Emotionen, Sexualität und Macht. Durch die "Pillenenzyklika" Humanae vitae , mit der Papst Paul VI. Katholik:innen im Sommer 1968 den Gebrauch künstlicher Empfängnisverhütungsmittel verbot, geriet im bundesrepublikanischen Katholizismus einiges in Bewegung. Das Katholischsein in einer sich verändernden Gesellschaft wurde neu verhandelt. Die Autorin wertet erstmals in großem Umfang Protestbriefe aus, die Katholik:innen an ihre Bischöfe schrieben, und zeigt auf, wie das Sprechen über Emotionen und Sexualität nachhaltige Verschiebungen alter Machtverhältnisse sichtbar machte. Dabei analysiert sie die Selbstermächtigungsprozesse des "katholischen '68" vor dem Hintergrund der westdeutschen Gesellschaftsgeschichte. Zum Schluss der Studie kommen Zeitzeug:innen zu Wort, die sehr persönliche Einblicke in lebenslange Auseinandersetzungen mit der "Pillenenzyklika" geben und dabei auch den Bogen zur aktuellen Kirchenkrise schlagen.

Architecture for the dead : Cairo's medieval necropolis /
:
"In Architecture for the Dead, architect Galila El Kadi and photographer Alain Bonnamy have produced a comprehensive and visually stunning survey of all areas of the necropolis. Through detailed and painstaking research and remarkable photography, in text, maps, plans, and pictures, they describe and illustrate the astonishing variety of architectural styles in the necropolis: from Mamluk to neo-Mamluk via baroque and neo-pharaonic, from the grandest stone buildings with their decorative domes and minarets to the humblest - but elaborately decorated - wooden structures. The book also documents the modern settlement of the necropolis by families creating a space for the living in and among the tombs and architecture for the dead."--BOOK JACKET.
