Abstract

The representation theory of affine Lie algebras has been developed in close connection with various areas of mathematics and mathematical physics in the last two decades. There are three excellent books on it, written by Victor G. Kac. This book begins with a survey and review of the material treated in Kac's books. In particular, modular invariance and conformal invariance are explained in more detail. The book then goes further, dealing with some of the recent topics involving the representation theory of affine Lie algebras. Since these topics are important not only in themselves but also in their application to some areas of mathematics and mathematical physics, the book expounds them with examples and detailed calculations.

Abstract

Das Leben des Kaisers Basilios I. (867-886), des Gründers der Makedonischen Dynastie, ist die einzige erhaltene Säkularbiographie der byzantinischen Literatur, in Bedeutung und hinsichtlich des Genres mit der Vita Caroli Magni von Einhard vergleichbar. Im Gelehrtenkreis um Basilios' Enkel Konstantin VII. Prophyrogennitos und unter dessen Ansporn schon 957 und 959 entstanden, ist die Vita Basilii eine der Hauptquellen für die Kultur- und politische Geschichte von Byzanz und seinen Nachbarn im 9. und 10. Jahrhundert. Die bisherigen Ausgaben (ob aus dem 17. oder dem 19. Jh.) beruhen auf sekundären Handschriften; sie sind auch wegen ihrer willkürlichen Konjekturen und vieler unangezeigter Zusätze aus einer Parallelquelle für die Forschung unbrauchbar. Die vorliegende Edition stützt sich auf Vaticanus gr. 167, die Quelle aller erhaltenen Handschriften. Somit werden die Eingriffe der früheren Herausgeber beseitigt. Herangezogen wurde bei der Herstellung des neuen Textes der vom Herausgeber wiederentdeckte Entwurf der Ausgabe, die der berühmte Byzantinist Karl de Boor um 1903 vorbereitete. The life of Emperor Basil I (867-886), the founder of the Macedonian Dynasty, is the only extant secular biography in Byzantine literature; in its importance and as an instance of the genre it is comparable to Einhard's Vita Caroli Magni. Composed in the circle of scholars around Basil's grandson Constantine VII Prophyrogennitos and at his instigation as early as 957 and 959, the Vita Basilii is one of the main sources for the cultural and political history of Byzantium and its neighbours in the 9th and 10th centuries. Previous editions (whether from the 17th or 19th centuries) were based on secondary manuscripts; they are not reliable, because of their arbitrary conjectures and a large number of unjustified additions from a parallel source. The present edition is based on Vaticanus gr. 167, the source of all extant manuscripts, and the insertions made by the earlier editors are removed. In producing the new text, the editor also had access to the draft edition he rediscovered which the famous Byzantinist Karl de Boor prepared around 1903.

Abstract

Fascisme, kapitalisme, communisme, democratie en ecologie: voortdurend gebruikte termen, maar zelden verkend op de originele en opwindende manier die het handelsmerk van Michael Parenti is geworden. Parenti toont aan hoe het "rationele fascisme" diensten bewijst aan het kapitalisme, hoe de macht van de grote bedrijven de democratie ondermijnt en hoe revoluties mondig maken. Hij brengt de externe en interne krachten die het communisme vernietigden in kaart en toont de desastreuze gevolgen van de overwinning van de "vrije markt" in de voormalige Sovjet-Unie. Hij bevestigt de waarde van (taboe)ideologieën zoals het marxisme. Het boek gaat verder dan afgevlakte denkwijzen en nodigt uit om zonodig heilige huisjes omver te schoppen. En om de vraag op te werpen waarom de zaken zijn zoals ze zijn. Het is een coherent big picture van de grote wereldevoluties dat bevolkt is door vele kleinere pictures en door discrete theaters van conflicten, strijd en onderdrukking. (Bron: covertekst)

Abstract

Taking up where the the chronicle of the monk Theophanes leaves off , the compilation known as Theophanes Continuatus was originally commissioned by the emperor Constantine VII (912-959) and marked the revival, or reinvention, of the genre of history in Byzantium, which also included the less successful text of Genesios, who worked with the same dossier of sources. A principal source for the second period of Iconoclasm and the Amorian dynasty, the tendentious narrative of Books I-IV of Theophanes Continuatus was intended to justify the murderous accession of Basil I (867-886), grandfather of Constantine VII and founder of the Macedonian dynasty, by presenting the emperors who preceded Basil as cruel heretics (Leo V, Michael II, Theophilus) or profligates (Michael III). But the facts here recorded and the often playful use of Classical learning give proof to the careful reader that the revival of Byzantine military power and culture from the Dark Age of the seventh and eighth centuries gained momentum under these same emperors. The present critical edition of Books I-IV replaces that of 1838 by I. Bekker. Accompanied by the first complete English translation and grammatical and historical indexes, the work is intended for specialists, students, and scholars in related fields.

Abstract

Decentering International Relations seeks to actively confront, resist, and rewrite IR, a discipline which is deeply centered in the North/West and which privileges certain perspectives, pedagogies, and practices. Through engagement with a variety of theories and in conversation with scholars, activists, and students, Meghana Nayak and Eric Selbin invite the reader to participate in an accessible yet provocative experiment to decenter the North/West when we learn, study, and do IR. Decentering International Relations is a remarkable and provocative re-envisioning of a globally important subjec.

Abstract

When thousands of women gathered in 1983 to protest the stockpiling of nuclear weapons at a rural upstate New York military depot, the area was shaken by their actions. What so disturbed residents that they organized counterdemonstrations, wrote hundreds of letters to local newspapers, verbally and physically harassed the protestors, and nearly rioted to stop one of the protest marches? Louise Krasniewicz reconstructs the drama surrounding the Women's Encampment for a Future of Peace and Justice in Seneca County, New York, analyzing it as a clash both between and within communities. She shows how debates about gender and authority-including questions of morality, patriotism, women's roles, and sexuality-came to overshadow arguments about the risks of living in a nuclear world. Vivid ethnography and vibrant social history, this work will engage readers interested in American culture, women's studies, peace studies, and cultural anthropology.
