Download or read book Zukunft als Geschichte written by Imanuel Geiss and published by Franz Steiner Verlag. This book was released on 1998 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nach Ansicht Adenauers haben die meisten, speziell die (west)deutschen, Historiker in der Einschatzung der Zukunftsaussichten der Sowjetunion versagt und die Unausweichlichkeit von deren Zusammenbruch (der 1989/91 dann ja auch eintrat) verkannt. Nur wenige Historiker machten in dieser Hinsicht eine Ausnahme - und wurden nicht ernstgenommen. Daher erscheint eine nachtragliche Wieder- bzw. Erstveroffentlichung einschlagiger Beitrage sinnvoll. Ohne Anspruch auf grundsatzliche Bewaltigung aller schwierigen theoretischen Fragen, die Zukunft als Geschichte aufwirft, beschrankten sich die Vorbemerkungen auf einige Aspekte, die fur eigene Prognosen als Teil historischer Arbeiten nutzlich bis unerlasslich erschienen. "Diese ruckblickenden Erlauterungen und eine damit eng verbundene Lesart des Buches als eine Geschichte der eigenen Geschichtsschreibung machen den Reiz des Werkes aus. Der Band gewahrt Einblicke in die innere Entwicklung, das historische Lernen des Autors selbst." Zeitschrift fur Politikwissenschaft

Book excerpt: Ist Deutschland nur ein Land der Kuckucksuhren und der Schwarzwaldklinik, in dem "Frühstücksei, Rouladen mit Rotkohl und dichte Fenster" (Angela Merkel 2017) gefragt sind? Gibt es etwas Spezifisches, was uns von anderen unterscheidet? Oder ist allein eine solche Frage schon "typisch deutsch"? Seit fünf Jahrzehnten analysiert Horst Opaschowski, was sich tut im Land – politisch, wirtschaftlich, sozial, psychologisch – und leitet daraus Prognosen ab. In diesem Buch blickt er zurück nach vorn: Er stellt frühere Thesen auf den Prüfstand. Voraussagen z. B. zur Bevölkerungsentwicklung, zu West- und Ostdeutschland, zum technischen Fortschritt, zum Familienleben und Sozialverhalten, zum Arbeitsleben und zum Wertewandel konfrontiert er mit der tatsächlichen Entwicklung. So kommt er zu genauso überraschenden wie plausiblen Prognosen für alte und neue gesellschaftliche Trends. Dies ist Opaschowskis persönlichstes Buch. Kurzweilig rekapituliert er 50 Jahre Zukunftsforschung und schreibt sie fort: ein einzigartiges Porträt deutscher Befindlichkeiten mit den Ängsten und Hoffnungen der Menschen - und mit allem, was ihnen wichtig ist. ” Wie ticken die Deutschen? ” Trends im Langzeitcheck ” das neue Buch von "Mr. Zukunft" (dpa)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do people spend so much time thinking about the future, imagining scenarios that may never occur, and making (often unrealistic) predictions? This volume brings together leading researchers from multiple psychological subdisciplines to explore the central role of future-thinking in human behavior across the lifespan. It presents cutting-edge work on the mechanisms involved in visualizing, predicting, and planning for the future.

Download or read book The Many Faces of Germany written by John A. McCarthy and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2004-04-01 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the fall of the Berlin Wall and the shifting of American foreign policy away from "old" Europe, long-established patterns of interaction between Germany and the U.S. have come under review. Although seemingly disconnected from the cultural and intellectual world, political developments were not without their influence on the humanities and their curricula during the past century. In retrospect, we can speak of the many different roles Germany has played in American eyes. The Many Faces of Germany seeks to acknowledge the importance of those incarnations for the study of German culture and history on both sides of the Atlantic. One of the major questions raised by the contributors is whether the transformations in the transatlantic dynamics and in the importance of Germany for the U.S. have had a major influence on the study of things German in the U.S. internally. The volume gathers together leading voices of the older and younger generations of social historians, literary scholars, film critics, and cultural historians.
Download or read book Die Entdeckung der Zukunft written by Lucian Hölscher and published by Wallstein Verlag. This book was released on 2016-05-02 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lucian Hölscher verfolgt die Geschichte der Zukunft in Europa von ihrer Entdeckung in der frühen Neuzeit bis in die Gegenwart. Auch die Zukunft hat ihre Geschichte: Gewandelt haben sich im Laufe der Zeit nicht nur die konkreten Zukunftsvorstellungen vergangener Gesellschaften, sondern auch die Zukunft als Dimension gesellschaftlicher Selbstorganisation überhaupt. In einer aktualisierten und deutlich erweiterten Neuauflage seines 1999 erschienen Standardwerkes verfolgt Lucian Hölscher die Geschichte der Zukunft in Europa von ihrer Entdeckung in der frühen Neuzeit bis in die Gegenwart. Er zeigt, wie der vorausschauende Blick der Menschen seit mehr als 300 Jahren in zyklischen Konjunkturen immer weitere Zukunftsräume erobert und damit unser Leben in der Gegenwart grundlegend auf die Zukunft hin ausgerichtet hat.

Download or read book Geschichte erz hlen Strategien der Narrativierung von Vergangenheit im Mittelalter written by Sarah Bowden and published by Narr Francke Attempto Verlag. This book was released on 2020-11-23 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die Beiträge dieses Bandes gehen auf eine internationale Tagung zurück, die 2017 in Manchester stattgefunden hat. Sie untersuchen die Darstellung von Geschichte in der mittelalterlichen deutschen Literatur auf der Basis von aktuellen erzähltheoretischen Forschungsansätzen. Dabei wird ein breites Spektrum an Texten, Gattungen und Diskursen in den Blick genommen; als Angelpunkt für zahlreiche relevante Fragestellungen erweist sich die im 12. Jahrhundert entstandene ›Kaiserchronik‹. Geleitet von der Erkenntnis, dass Vergangenheit erst im Erzählen zu Geschichte wird, analysieren die Beiträge einschlägige narrative Strategien.
Download or read book Literary Studies in the Hebrew Bible written by Shemaryahu Talmon and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-08-14 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The studies assembled in this volume focus on two issues: firstly, the analysis and illustration of literary techniques employed by authors and compilers of the books of the Hebrew bible. In several instances, their development is followed into the early post-biblical Qumran writings and Apocrypha. Thus, the essays in this section relate to biblical literature qua literature, an issue which has especially attracted scholars in the field of recent times. In a second group of essays, the author sets out to probe the interconnection of literature and society in biblical Israel. Literary patterns, foremost motifs, are analyzed in the attempt to extract from them facets of underlying conceptual or speculative thought. Since biblical authors refrained, on the whole, from presenting systematically their world of ideas, the proposed evaluation of literary patterns may help in better gauging the conceptual universe of Israel in the biblical period
Download or read book Futures Past written by Reinhart Koselleck and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2004-06-16 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modernity in the late eighteenth century transformed all domains of European life -intellectual, industrial, and social. Not least affected was the experience of time itself: ever-accelerating change left people with briefer intervals of time in which to gather new experiences and adapt. In this provocative and erudite book Reinhart Koselleck, a distinguished philosopher of history, explores the concept of historical time by posing the question: what kind of experience is opened up by the emergence of modernity? Relying on an extraordinary array of witnesses and texts from politicians, philosophers, theologians, and poets to Renaissance paintings and the dreams of German citizens during the Third Reich, Koselleck shows that, with the advent of modernity, the past and the future became 'relocated' in relation to each other.The promises of modernity -freedom, progress, infinite human improvement -produced a world accelerating toward an unknown and unknowable future within which awaited the possibility of achieving utopian fulfillment. History, Koselleck asserts, emerged in this crucial moment as a new temporality providing distinctly new ways of assimilating experience. In the present context of globalization and its resulting crises, the modern world once again faces a crisis in aligning the experience of past and present. To realize that each present was once an imagined future may help us once again place ourselves within a temporality organized by human thought and humane ends as much as by the contingencies of uncontrolled events.

Download or read book Reading Mark s Gospel as a Text from Collective Memory written by Sandra Huebenthal and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2020-05-28 with total page 644 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did the Gospel of Mark come to exist? And how was the memory of Jesus shaped by the experiences of the earliest Christians? For centuries, biblical scholars examined texts as history, literature, theology, or even as story. Curiously absent, however, has been attention to processes of collective memory in the creation of biblical texts. Drawing on modern explorations of social memory, Sandra Huebenthal presents a model for reading biblical texts as collective memories. She demonstrates that the Gospel of Mark is a text evolving from collective narrative memory based on recollections of Jesus’s life and teachings. Huebenthal investigates the principles and structures of how groups remember and how their memory is structured and presented. In the case of Mark’s Gospel, this includes examining which image of Jesus, as well as which authorial self-image, this text as memory constructs. Reading Mark’s Gospel as a Text from Collective Memory serves less as a key to unlock questions about the historical Jesus and more as an examination of memory about him within a particular community, providing a new and important framework for interpreting the earliest canonical gospel in context.
Download or read book Game Over written by Christophe Chalamet and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2017-09-11 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern science informs us about the end of the universe: "game over" is the message which lies ahead of our world. Christian theology, on the other hand, sees in the end not the cessation of all life, but rather an invitation to play again, in God's presence. Is there a way to articulate together such vastly different claims? Eschatology is a theological topic which merits being considered from several different angles. This book seeks to do this by gathering contributions from esteemed and fresh voices from the fields of biblical exegesis, history, systematic theology, philosophy, and ethics. How can we make sense, today, of Jesus' (and the New Testament's) eschatological message? How did he, his early disciples, and the Christian tradition, envision the "end" of the world? Is there a way for us to articulate together what modern science tells us about the end of the universe with the biblical and Christian claims about God who judges and who will wipe every tear? Eschatology has been at the heart of Christian theology for 100 years in the West. What should we do with this legacy? Are there ways to move our reflection forward, in our century? Scholars and other interested readers will find here a wealth of insights.

Download or read book The Age of Ecology written by Joachim Radkau and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2014-04-03 with total page 570 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first major study of the history of environmentalism, from its origins in romanticism and the nature cults of the late 18th century to the global environmental movements of today. Radkau shows that this is not a single story of the steady ascent of environmentalism but rather a multiplicity of stories, each with its own dramatic tension: between single-issue movements and the challenges posed by the interconnection of environmental issues, between charismatic leaders and bureaucratic organizations, and between grassroot movements and global players. While the history can be traced back several centuries, environmentalism has flourished since the ‘environmental revolution’ of 1970, spurred on by the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in 1986 and the growing concern about global warming. While environmentalists often opposed the scientific mainstream, they were also often led by scientific knowledge. Environmentalism is the true Enlightenment of our time Ð so much so that we can call our era ‘the age of ecology’. This timely and comprehensive global history of environmentalism will be essential reading for anyone concerned with the most pressing global issues of our time.
