  • Images of Elsewhere

    Flying saucers first appeared in the late 1940s, in the aftermath of the Second World War. They immediately became the subject of fascination, and their mystery has persisted. They can be understood through three lenses, that of science and technology, popular culture and, at the human level, personal experience. In general, approaches to flying saucers concentrate either on military and space hardware, or on science fiction and film, or on religious and occult ways of thinking. This mini-series brings these different perspectives into conversation for the first time, tracing the appearances of UFOs and their development. It explores how machines and humans learn to think together, producing new objects in a world that is dominated by technology and yet continually escaping our control.

  • Soziologie und Anthropologie. Studies in Sociology and Anthropology

    ISSN: 0721-4073

    Die Reihe Soziologie und Anthropologie widmet sich engagierter Forschung zu aktuellen und gesellschaftspolitisch relevanten Themen. Ein Schwerpunkt der Reihe liegt auf empirischen und ethnografischen Arbeiten, die eine Brücke zwischen gesellschaftlicher Analyse und anthropologischer Forschung schlagen und über die jeweiligen Grenzen hinaus eine Bedeutung entfalten können. Themen wie Sicherheit, Überwachung, Polizei, Rassismus, Migration, Grenzen, Intersektionalität, Macht und Herrschaft sind dabei ebenso vertreten wie Ansätze aus der kritischen Kriminologie oder Geografie, der politischen Anthropologie oder der Stadtforschung. Ziel der Reihe ist eine kritische, perspektivenvielfältige und emanzipatorische Wissenschaft.

    Literature, Anthropology and Culture

    This newly launched series creates the opportunity for those scholars who, on the one hand, wish to see literary works in the unceasing dialogue with other arts and, on the other, want to rethink literary theory in terms of its embededness in the reflection which involves notions crucial for the shape of contemporary human community such as democracy, justice, friendship, hospitality, home, passions, and many others. Thus we invite essays on a wide range of topics which include studies of individual texts placing them in a rich web of comparative references not turning away from the body-politic, interpretations of texts and images as important ways towards the formation of cultural identity, explorations of the dialogue between the word and the image with the complicated transpositions taking place in the process, as well as in-depth investigations of particular notions in their historical and multicultural contexts. The analyses undertaken by the authors in this series will make a serious contribution to a better understanding of the notions and processes constituting our being together.
