This book is the result of a multidisciplinary work on the languages of the city, which is the proposed theme of the conference organized at Istanbul University (CongIST’2019). It testifies to the diversity of reflections and studies as depicted by the breadth and depth of the work presented herein. The volume, which brings together 21 articles, offers a general overview of the city as conceived, observed, experienced, imagined, discursivized, heard, and perceived by its inhabitants through administrative, political, economic, cultural, artistic, and esthetic bodies. The first part entitled City as a signifying space brings together seven semiotic articles that demonstrate how the city is organized as a space to practice, to live, and, therefore, to make signified; J. Fontanille, D. Bertrand, P. Basso-Fossali, E. Mouratidou, J. Thiburce, and D. Tsala Effa approach the city from its various aspects; each article offers a semiotic reflection on the organization of meaning in and for the city. The second part address the apprehension of the city in social and political discourses. Under the general title The city as a political and social actor, I. Klock-Fontanille, D. Öztin Passerat, N. Öztokat Kılıçeri, A. Djeghar and A. Djeghar, I. Arkhis, and A. Balcou present the plurality of socio-policies woven across the city to address the balance of power that govern socio-discursive systems. The third part, namely, Poetics, aesthetics and city writing, brings together articles that offer various analyses of urban esthetics on literary and cinematographic works. B. Westphal, A. Lévy, A. Kıran, S. Gürses Şanbay, S. M’Selmi, B. Karslı, S. Bankır Mesçioğlu, and Ç. Yılmaz begin with cinematographic and literary works to depict and analyze the development of the city by the authors. Researchers in the social sciences and in the sciences of language gathered herein question the presence of the city in a multiplicity of aspects that are as diverse as possible. Furthermore, they invite readers to new avenues of reflection and research on the city, which is a familiar yet distant space. Le présent ouvrage est issu d’un travail pluridisciplinaire sur les langages de la ville proposés comme thème du colloque organisé à l’Université d’Istanbul (CongIST’2019). Il témoigne de la diversité des réflexions et des études comme nous le montrent l’étendue et l’ampleur des travaux ci-présents. Le volume qui réunit 21 articles propose un aperçu général sur la ville telle qu’elle est conçue, observée, vécue, imaginée, discursivisée, entendue, perçue par ses habitants à travers les instances administratives, politiques, économiques, culturelles, artistiques, esthétiques. La première partie intitulée Ville comme espace signifiant réunit sept articles sémiotiques qui montrent comment la ville s’organise comme espace des pratiques, de la vie, bref de la signifiance; J. Fontanille, D. Bertrand, P. Basso-Fossali, E. Mouratidou, J. Thiburce et D. Tsala Effa abordent la ville sous ses divers aspects ; chacun des articles propose une réflexion sémiotique sur la manière dont le sens s’organise dans et pour la ville. La deuxième partie traite de l’appréhension de la ville dans le discours social et politique. Sous le titre général de La ville comme acteur politique et social, I. Klock-Fontanille, D. Öztin Passerat, N. Öztokat Kılıçeri, A. Djeghar et A. Djeghar, I. Arkhis et A. Balcou traitent de la pluralité relations socio-politiques tissées à travers la ville pour aborder le rapport de forces régissant les systèmes socio-discursifs. La troisième partie de cet ouvrage, Poétique, esthétique et écriture de la ville regroupe les articles proposant des analyses de l’esthétique urbaine dans les œuvres littéraires et cinématographiques. B. Westphal, A. Lévy, A. Kıran, S. Gürses Şanbay, S. M’Selmi, B. Karslı, S. Bankır Mesçioğlu et Ç. Yılmaz partent des ouvrages cinématographiques et littéraires pour montrer et analyser la mise en valeur de la ville chez les auteurs. Les chercheurs en sciences sociales et en sciences du langage ici réunis interrogent la présence de la ville sous une multiplicité d’aspects si divers que possible ; et invitent le lecteur aux nouvelles pistes de réflexion et de recherche sur la ville qu’est cet espace à la fois familier et lointain.

"Wie artikuliert sich im 21. Jahrhundert judenfeindliches Gedankengut? Und wann ist eine Äußerung antisemitisch? Mit diesen Fragen beschäftigen sich die Sprach- und Kognitionswissenschaftlerin Monika Schwarz-Friesel und der Historiker Jehuda Reinharz anhand einer datenreichen Untersuchung des aktuellen judenfeindlichen Sprachgebrauchs. Die detaillierte Analyse der diversen Manifestationsformen von direktem und indirektem Verbal-Antisemitismus zeigt, welche geistigen Konzepte und emotionalen Ressentiments judeophoben Einstellungen zugrundeliegen. Diese äußern sich in uralten Klischees und Verschwörungstheorien ebenso wie in neuen, israelbezogenen Stereotypen. Die Studie zeigt, wie Juden als Juden verbal ausgegrenzt und beleidigt, belehrt, ermahnt und bedroht werden, und dass judenfeindliche Äußerungen von vielen Menschen artikuliert werden, als hätte es den Holocaust und seine intensive Aufarbeitung nie gegeben."

This book is on four plays by John von Düffel, Peter Handke, and Franz Xaver Kroetz. The texts show a new understanding of direction and leadership, which is no longer related to hierarchical structured principles of organisation and to determining conceptions of planning and controlling.

Through a new collection of primary documents about Japanese internment during World War II, this book enables a broader understanding of the injustice experienced by displaced people within the United States in the 20th century. In the 1940s, Japanese and Japanese American internees of Redwood City, CA, had a dedicated ally: J. Elmer Morrish, a banker who kept their businesses alive, made sure their taxes were paid, and safeguarded their properties until after the end of World War II and the internees were finally released. What were Morrish's motivations for his tireless efforts to help the internees? How did the unjustly incarcerated deal with the loss of freedom in the camps, and how did they envision their future? And how did the internees both cooperate with the U.S. government and attempt to resist victimization? Citizen Internees: A Second Look at Race and Citizenship in Japanese American Internment Camps is an edited selection from a collection of more than 2,000 pieces of correspondence-some of which is previously unpublished-regarding the internment of Japanese and Japanese Americans from Redwood City, CA. These primary source documents reveal the experiences and emotions of a group of imprisoned people attempting to run the necessary day-to-day tasks of the lives they were forced to leave behind-as property owners, taxpayers, and proprietors. Through these letters about practical matters, readers can gain insight into the internees' changing family relations, their financial concerns, and their struggles in making decisions about an uncertain future. The book also includes essays that supply background information, analysis of the documents' contents and meaning, and historical context.
