Ulrich Hoinkes - Böcker

A collection of timely essays on the rising wave of anxiety in culture.The twenty-first century is characterized by uncertainty: from catastrophic climate change to the accelerating pace of technological change, societies around the world are gripped by anxiety about the future. In Anxiety Culture, editors John Allegrante, Ulrich Hoinkes, Michael Schapira, and Karen Struve bring together a distinguished group of international scholars to examine the forces that increase anxiety as a phenomenon beyond solely individual experiences of clinical anxiety to pervade global culture. These trenchant essays examine our culture of anxiety across diverse avenues of society. Covering fears related to climate change, populist and extremist movements around the world, gun violence, artificial intelligence, and more, contributors also examine how anxiety is expressed in literature and the media and how a culture of anxiety affects policymaking. Chapters are organized into five sections: disciplinary perspectives on anxiety, climate change and the environment, population health and social well-being, migration, and technology. There's room for hope, however. Contributors provide pragmatic recommendations for coping with anxiety culture in public education, governments, and NGOs. Anxiety Culture is a unique attempt to define this condition and an indispensable resource for those seeking stability in an unstable age, providing a set of conceptual and practical narratives for navigating both existing and emergent planetary challenges.Contributors: Kristina Allgoewer, Bryndis Asgeirsdottir, John Baldacchino, Christine Blaettler, Michel Bourban, Dominic Boyer, Eva J.

This Manual provides a concise, fact-based description of the relevant historical contact situations in the Romance language areas. It describes the linguistic phenomena associated with each of these language contacts (e.g., Celtic, Germanic, Slavic) with reference to relevant studies, and places them within a linguistic-historical or sociolinguistic interpretive framework. In the individual chapters, relevant theories and methods (e.g., Vulgar Latin, substrata, superstrata, adstrata) are addressed, and current research trends and new approaches are reflected upon. For a deeper penetration of the topic, the handbook considers the analytical contributions of the following disciplines: etymology, semantics, creolistics, mixed language theory, colonial linguistics, missionary linguistics, individual bilingualism, code-switching, social multilingualism, migration linguistics, cultural studies, religious studies, music history, politics, and law. The handbook is a guide for all scholars and students working in historical linguistics. Its focus is on contact situations in the period of the emergence of Romance languages and their further spread in the world.
