Abstract

"Lord Leonard Hoffmann remains one of the most important and influential English jurists. Born in South Africa, he came to England as a Rhodes scholar to study law at the University of Oxford. After graduating from the Bachelor of Civil Laws as Vinerian Scholar, he was elected Stowell Civil Law Fellow of University College. There followed an extremely distinguished judicial career, including 14 years as a member of the Judicial Committee of the House of Lords (from 1995 to 2009). In 2009, Lord Hoffmann returned to the Oxford Law Faculty as a Visiting Professor. In this volume, current and past colleagues of Lord Hoffmann from the University of Oxford examine different aspects of his jurisprudence in diverse areas of private and public law. The contributions are testament to the clarity and creativity of his judicial and extra-judicial writings, to his enduring influence and extraordinary intellectual breadth, and to the respect and affection in which he is held."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

Abstract

Die Werke von E.T.A. Hoffmann spiegeln zentrale Themen und Motive der literarischen Romantik sowie auch deren Verfahren und programmatische Positionen. Dieses Handbuch präsentiert die Werke Hoffmanns mit einem besonderen Fokus auf ihre wissensgeschichtlichen und ästhetischen Kontexte. Weitere Kapitel analysieren die Vernetzung von Hoffmanns Texten mit Aspekten der zeitgenössischen Kultur und Wissenschaft (z.B. Künstliche Menschen, optische Geräte, Verbrecher) und erschließen den ästhetischen und intermedialen Gehalt seiner Werke (z.B. Arabeske, Ironie, das Phantastische, Stimme/Musik). Ein Kapitel über die Rezeptionsgeschichte beschließt den Band.

Abstract

Rather than being accepted by all of German society, the Nazi regime was resisted in both passive and active forms. This re-issued volume examines opposition to National Socialism by Germans during the Third Reich in its broadest sense. It considers individual and organized nonconformity, opposition, and resistance ranging from symbolic acts of disobedience to organized assassination attempts, and looks at how disparate groups such as the Jewish community, churches, conservatives, communists, socialists, and the military all defied the regime in their own ways.

Abstract

The catalogue for the exhibition at the MAK (Austrian Museum for Applied Art/Contemporary Art in Vienna) focuses on two fundamental approaches of the Moderne movement in an antithetic comparison, including the preceding history and after-effects to this day: Josef Hoffmann (1870-1956) and Adolf Loos (1870-1933) represent opposing reactions to the basic problems of modern civilization, which were triggered by the process of industrialization and democratization. Two different concepts for a modern way of life were created: Hoffmann promoted a comprehensive aestheticization of all spheres of life, while Loos interpreted architecture and design as the functional background for the development of individual personalities. In 16 essays, well-known European and American experts investigate a wide range of contributing conditions and the highlights and consequences of these two traditions of the Moderne movement, from the 19th century to the present. The key works of Hoffmann and Loos - as well as those of their predecessors such as Otto Wagner, and successors such as Josef Frank - are richly illustrated.

Abstract

Das intuitiv empfundene Beziehungsgeflecht der Künste interessiert Menschen seit jeher. Sich diesem zu nähern bedeutet, allgemeine übergeordnete Strukturen zu ermitteln. E.T.A. Hoffmann und Robert Schumann schufen zwei gleichnamige Werke, die »Kreisleriana«. Den hier implizierten Verweis auf enge Bezüge zwischen Literatur und Musik nimmt die Studie zum Anlass, romantische Universalpoesie mit strukturalistischen Mythenkonzepten sowie der platonischen Idee einer chora in Konflikt zu setzen und auf den gattungstranszendierenden Vergleich zu erweitern. Diese originelle Vernetzung unterschiedlicher Modelle ermöglicht Einsicht in die fundamentalästhetischen Strukturen von Kunstwerken.

Abstract

In Ethnography from the Mission Field: The Hoffmann Collection of Cultural Knowledge Joubert and others offer a translated and annotated edition of the 24 ethnographic articles by missionary Carl Hoffmann and his local interlocutors published between the years 1913 and 1958. The edition is introduced by a historic contextualisation using a cultural historical approach to analyse the contexts in which Hoffmann’s ethnographic texts were produced. Making use of historical material and Hoffmann’s own words from personal diaries and letters, the authors convincingly draw the attention to the discursive context in which the texts annotated in this book had been compiled. In a concluding chapter the book traces the captivating developments of the orthography of Northern Sotho through Hoffmann’s texts over almost half a century. Brill has made the documentary film “A Journey into the Life of a Mission-Ethnographer” which is interlinked with this book available online via its online channels. To access it please click here . The digital database of the “Hoffmann Collection of Cultural Knowledge” (HC-CK) can be accessed by clicking here . It is an amalgamation of digital scans, images and video footage relating to missionary Carl Hoffmann’s work and life on various mission stations, made available by the Humboldt Universität zu Berlin.
