"Enclosed by the Suez Canal and bordering Gaza and Israel, Egypt's rugged Sinai Peninsula has been the cornerstone of the Egyptian-Israeli peace accords, yet its internal politics and security have remained largely under media blackout. While the international press descended on the capital Cairo in January 2011, Sinai's armed rebellion was ignored. The regime lost control of the peninsula in a matter of days and, since then, unprecedented chaos has reigned and the Islamist insurgency has gathered pace. In this crucial analysis, Mohannad Sabry argues that Egypt's shortsighted security approach has continually proven to be a failure. Decades of flawed policies have exacerbated immense social and economic problems, and maintained a superficial stability under which arms trafficking, the smuggling tunnels, and militancy could silently thrive-and finally prevail following the overthrow of Mubarak. Sinai is vital reading for scholars, journalists, policy makers, and all those concerned by the plunge of one of the Middle East's most critical regions into turmoil."--Book jacket.

Die Forschung zur deutschen Sprache in Österreich ist seit Beginn des neuen Jahrtausends durch neue Ansätze gekennzeichnet: An die Seite von Arbeiten in der Tradition der philologischen Dialektologie, der Diskursanalyse im Paradigma der »Wiener Schule« oder auch der »klassisch« korrelativen Soziolinguistik treten zunehmend Untersuchungen auf Basis der sprachdynamisch fundierten Variationslinguistik, der interaktionalen Soziolinguistik sowie der modernen Spracheinstellungs- und -perzeptionsforschung. Der vorliegende Band reflektiert die Dynamik des Forschungsfeldes und nähert sich ihm aus unterschiedlichsten theoretischen wie empirischen Perspektiven an. Im Zentrum der insgesamt neun Beiträge steht dabei der standardsprachliche Pol des »vertikalen« Varietätenspektrums.Since the beginning of the new millennium, research on the German language in Austria has been characterized by new approaches: alongside work in the tradition of philological dialectology, discourse analysis in the “Viennese school” paradigm and “classically” correlative sociolinguistics, there has been an increasing number of studies in the areas of language dynamics-based variationist linguistics, interactional sociolinguistics, as well as modern attitudinal and perceptual research. This volume reflects the dynamism of this field of research, approaching it from various theoretical and empirical perspectives. It is the standard pole of the “vertical” spectrum of linguistic varieties that is central to all nine contributions compiled in this publication.

What does it mean to call something "contemporary"? More than simply denoting what's new, it speaks to how we come to know the present we're living in and how we develop a shared story about it. The story of trying to understand the present is an integral, yet often unnoticed, part of the literature and film of our moment. In Contemporary Drift, Theodore Martin argues that the contemporary is not just a historical period but also a conceptual problem, and he claims that contemporary genre fiction offers a much-needed resource for resolving that problem.Contemporary Drift combines a theoretical focus on the challenge of conceptualizing the present with a historical account of contemporary literature and film. Emphasizing both the difficulty and the necessity of historicizing the contemporary, the book explores how recent works of fiction depict life in an age of global capitalism, postindustrialism, and climate change. Through new histories of the novel of manners, film noir, the Western, detective fiction, and the postapocalyptic novel, Martin shows how the problem of the contemporary preoccupies a wide range of novelists and filmmakers, including Zadie Smith, Colson Whitehead, Vikram Chandra, China Miéville, Kelly Reichardt, and the Coen brothers. Martin argues that genre provides these artists with a formal strategy for understanding both the content and the concept of the contemporary. Genre writing, with its mix of old and new, brings to light the complicated process by which we make sense of our present and determine what belongs to our time.

Human beings have always been specialists, but over the past two centuries division of labor has become deeper, ubiquitous, and much more fluid. The form it now takes brings in its wake a series of problems that are simultaneously philosophical and practical, having to do with coordinating the activities of experts in different disciplines who do not understand one another. Because these problems are unrecognized, and because we do not have solutions for them, we are on the verge of an age in which decisions that depend on understanding more than one discipline at a time whill be made badly. Since so many decisions do require multidisciplinary knowledge, these philosophical problems are urgent. Some of the puzzles that have traditionally been on philosophers' agendas have to do with intellectual devices developed to handle less extreme forms of specialization. Two of these, necessity and the practical "ought," are given extended treatment in Elijah Millgram's The Great Endarkenment. Millgram pays special attention to the ways in which a focus on cognitive function reframes familiar debates in metaethics and metaphysics. Consequences of hyperspecialization for the theory of practical rationality, for our conception of agency, and for ethics are laid out and discussed. An afterword considers whether and how philosophers can contribute to solving the very pressing problems created by contemporary division of labor. -- from dust jacket.

När ordet pornografi nämns idag är det oftast sexuella skildringar i bild, film eller på internet som avses - sällan gestaltningar av sex i skrift. Runt förra sekelskiftet uppfattades sexuellt explicit litteratur däremot som ett hot mot samhället och den rådande ordningen. Hur blev det så, vad hände dessförinnan och däremellan? Hur uppstod gränsen mellan litteratur och pornografi i Sverige?

Sous quelles formes le XVIIIe siècle reste-t-il présent dans la littérature contemporaine ? S'agit-il seulement d'un héritage de mythes, qui se sont démythifiés au contact de notre modernité, ou de valeurs qui continuent à avoir un sens aujourd'hui ? Ce livre propose un parcours dans les romans de nombreux auteurs contemporains. Le libertinage, les peintres des Lumières, notamment Watteau et Fragonard, Rousseau et sa légende, la Révolution et ses polémiques : autant de legs que les romanciers d'aujourd'hui mettent en question avec une liberté et un sens de l'invention formelle également héritée de ce laboratoire des Lumières qui fut si fécond pour la création romanesque. Conscience du présent, le siècle des Lumières nous éclaire encore.

Kenneth Perkins's second edition of A History of Modern Tunisia carries the history of this country from 2004 to the present, with particular emphasis on the Tunisian revolution of 2011 - the first critical event of that year's Arab Spring and the inspiration for similar populist movements across the Arab world. After providing an overview of the country in the years preceding the inauguration of a French protectorate in 1881, the book examines the impact of colonialism on the country, with particular attention to the evolution of a nationalist movement that secured the termination of the protectorate in 1956. Its analysis of the first three decades of independence, during which the leaders of the anticolonial struggle consolidated political power, assesses the challenges that they faced and the degree of success they achieved. No other English-language study of Tunisia offers as sweeping a time frame or as comprehensive a history of this nation.
