The interconnections of time with historical thought and knowledge have come powerfully to the fore since the 1970s. An international group of scholars, from a range of fields including literary theory, history of ideas, cultural anthropology, philosophy, intellectual history and theology, philology, and musicology, address the matter of time and temporalities.The volume's essays, divided into four main topical groups question critically the key problem of context, connecting it to the problem of time. Contexts, the essays suggest, are not timeless. Time and its contexts are only partly "given" to us: to the primordial donations of time and world correspond our epistemic, moral, and practical modes of receiving what has been granted. The notion of context may have radically different parameters in different historical, cultural, and disciplinary situations. Topics include the deep antiquity, and the timeless time of eternity, as well as formal philosophies of history and the forms of histories implicit in individual and community experience. The medium specific use of time and history are examined with regard to song, image, film, oral narration, and legal discourse.

In der Moderne gilt das Nichtstun gemeinhin als wertlos oder gefährlich. Im Gegensatz dazu betrachtet Agatha Frischmuth das Phänomen in einer völlig neuen Auslegung von Hannah Arendts Handlungsphilosophie als eine genuin politische Praxis, die die im westlichen Denken fest verankerte Binäropposition zwischen Handlung und Nichthandlung auflöst. Ihre literaturwissenschaftliche Studie zeigt in diskursanalytischen Lektüren der Romane von Robert Walser, Thomas Mann, Georges Perec und Mirosaw Nahacz Überraschendes auf: eine bisher ungeahnt enge Verknüpfung des Nichtstun-Motivs mit einer Sehnsucht nach Gemeinschaft und die Darstellung des Nichtstuns als uneigentliches Erzählen und Sprechen.

Coming to terms with emotions and how they influence human behaviour, seems to be of the utmost importance to societies that are obsessed with everything "neuro." On the other hand, emotions have become an object of constant individual and social manipulation since "emotional intelligence" emerged as a buzzword of our times. Reflecting on this burgeoning interest in human emotions makes one think of how this interest developed and what fuelled it. From a historian's point of view, it can be traced back to classical antiquity. But it has undergone shifts and changes which can in turn shed light on social concepts of the self and its relation to other human beings (and nature). The volume focuses on the historicity of emotions and explores the processes that brought them to the fore of public interest and debate.
