Welten des Islams / Worlds of Islam / Mondes de l’Islam

The aim of the series Worlds of Islam of the Swiss Asia Society is to publish high-quality, representative work issuing from academic research on all aspects of Islam. It comprises, and receives, studies on present-day and historical Islamic cultures and societies covering the fields of art, literature and thought as well as translations and interpretations of important sources. Furthermore the series intends to present studies that offer expert knowledge on relevant themes and current questions appealing not only to the academic public, but also to an audience generally interested in the Islamic World. One important goal of the series is to establish a forum for academic work in the fields of the humanities and social sciences in Switzerland. However, the series is also committed to the rich variety of studies and writing on the Islamic World in the international research community. The main publication languages for monographs, collections (by individual or several contributors), and surveys are therefore German, French, and English. The series is supervised and internally reviewed by an editorial board comprising leading representatives in Islamic studies. L’objectif de la collection Mondes de l’Islam, publiée sous l’égide de la Société Suisse – Asie, est de faire connaître des études représentatives et de haute qualité sur les pays d’Islam. Elle propose aussi bien des études portant sur les cultures et sociétés du présent et du passé - que ce soit dans les domaines de l’art, de la littérature ou de la pensée - que des traductions et des travaux d’interprétation de sources importantes. Elle entend également publier des recherches sur des thèmes centraux et d’actualité qui s’adressent à un public plus large, intéressé par le monde de l’Islam. Ouverte à des travaux issus de la communauté scientifique internationale, la collection se veut être en premier lieu un point de rencontre de la recherche suisse dans le domaine des études islamiques. Elle accueille des monographies, des ouvrages collectifs, des recueils thématiques, etc., rédigés en allemand, français ou anglais. La collection est dirigée par un comité éditorial composé de chercheurs reconnus dans les diverses disciplines des études islamiques. Ziel der Reihe Welten des Islams der Schweizerischen Asiengesellschaft ist es, repräsentative, qualitativ hochstehende Forschungsarbeiten zu den islamischen Kulturen und Gesellschaften in Gegenwart und Vergangenheit vorzustellen. Sie nimmt Studien zu verschiedenen Bereichen wie Kunst, Literatur und Philosophie sowie Übersetzungen und Interpretationen von Quellentexten auf. Sie will aber auch Arbeiten zu relevanten Themen und aktuellen Fragen anbieten, die neben dem wissenschaftlichen Zielpublikum einer breiter interessierten Leserschaft zugänglich sind. Die Reihe versteht sich als Forum für geistes- und sozialwissenschaftliche Arbeiten aus der Schweiz. Ausserdem werden Beiträge aus der internationalen Forschung aufgenommen. Die Hauptpublikationssprachen für die Monographien, Sammelbände und Übersichtswerke sind Deutsch, Französisch und Englisch. Die Reihe wird von einem Herausgebergremium geleitet, das von führenden Fachvertretern aus den jeweiligen akademischen Disziplinen beraten wird.

Lernweg zum Schia-Islam. Wiener Schia-Islam Vorlesungen

In der theologischen Reihe Lernweg zum Schia-Islam werden die Grundzüge und Überzeugungen des Schia-Islam aus Sicht der imamitischen Weltgemeinschaft dargestellt. Der Lernweg präsentiert eine Grundorientierung über das zeitgenössische Bild des Schia-Islam, unterteilt in drei Kategorien zur Schiitischen Glaubenslehre, Schiitischen Glaubenspraxis und zur Theologie des Lebens.

Islam und Recht

Muslime stellen in Deutschland seit der Arbeitsmigration der sechziger Jahre einen nennenswerten Teil der Bevölkerung. Seit den neunziger Jahren stehen die Fragen, welche der Islam im deutschen Recht aufwirft, im Blickpunkt des Interesses. Zunehmend wird deshalb statt von Staatskirchenrecht von Religionsverfassungsrecht oder Religionsrecht gesprochen. Die Bände der Reihe Islam und Recht behandeln neben Themen wie der Zulässigkeit des Kopftuchs im öffentlichen Dienst oder der auf der Grundlage von Koran und Sunna entwickelten Staatstheorie vor allem die unterschiedlichen Aspekte der Institutionalisierung des Islam in Deutschland.

Islamic Psychology and Biopsychological Basics of Life in Education and Health

ISSN: 2750-3968

This book series can be seen as a bridge that brings different worlds and directions of psychology together. The essence of the work proposed in this book series concerns mainly the biopsychological foundations of life in educational and health related fields. The world of the psychology of the Islamic cultural area, for example, is largely unknown for the western readers up to now. Therefore, concepts and research methods from „western" psychology, which are taught and researched around the world, are transferred and applied to questions, to contexts of the Islamic cultural area and to the related Islamic Psychology. Through the contributions in this book series, the content-related concepts, the research approaches and the ways of thinking of the Islamic psychology in educational and health related psychological fields become visible and known for all the western psychologists and researchers. In this way it is possible to create a substantial exchange in which all directions of psychology can contribute to the further development of the discipline of psychology as a whole. This creation of connections is the basic idea of the biocentric approach on which the series is based. This approach promotes and aims to give space to various fundamental orientations in all cultural areas in all directions and allows them to be expressed in order to be described scientifically. The psychology of the 4 directions is described in this biocentric approach: the Islamic psychology is called the psychology of the „east", then the psychology of the „west", the „south" and the „north".This book series is open to welcome similar works, monographies and collective volumes.

Finance, FinTech, and Crowdfunding in Islam

ISSN: 2572-7435

Our second collaboration with the BIT-AMENA (University of California, Berkeley iTechpreneurship in Asia, Middle East, and North Africa) Center for Building Innovation Economies, this series focuses on how a financial system is comprised of different subsystems—such as the banking system, financial markets, capital markets, insurance, and derivatives—which are underpinned by legal and commercial infrastructure. When compared to the conventional system, the Islamic financial system has two distinct features: first, the prohibition of riba (interest), which eliminates the possibility of debt and of leveraging within the financial system, and second, the promotion of risk-sharing, facilitated through modes of transaction designed for investors to share the risks and rewards of investment on a more equitable basis. As such, the Islamic financial system is based on a banking system that operates without a debt economy, and instead promotes the financing of the real economy. Researchers have argued that an active and vibrant market of securitized assets, which has some resemblance to the conventional asset-based debt market, replaces the debt market and behaves and operates differently. We will subsequently examine the vital role that the stock market plays within a risk-sharing economy.

The Modernist Revolution in World Literature

ISSN: 1528-9672

In the stormy time period approximately between the Paris Commune in 1871 and the revolutionary events in May 1968, or between the conclusion of the American Civil War and the withdrawal of American troops from Vietnam, the rise and fall of international modernism was crucial to all historical, political, and intellectual de-velopments around the world. By the time the United States had emerged from its military involvement in Indo-China, the modernist movement had given way to postmodernism. This series investigates the development of international modern-ism in the half century leading up to World War I and its disintegration in the fol-lowing fifty years. High modernism claimed that it represented a break with corrupt values of previous cultural traditions, but we now think that this very drive to “make it new” is itself derivative. What are the roots and characteristics of modernism? How did the philosophical and pedagogical system supporting modernism develop? Is mod-ernism, perhaps, not a liberating movement but a device to shield high culture from rising democratic vulgarization? What is the role of modernism in postcolonial struggles? Where does feminism fall in the modernist agenda? How do changing systems of patronage and the economy of art influence modernism as an enor-mously expanded reading public becomes augmented by cinema, radio, and televi-sion? Such questions on a worldwide stage, in the century approximately from 1870 to 1970, in all manifestations of literature, art, politics, and culture, represent the scope of this series In the stormy time period approximately between the Paris Commune in 1871 and the revolutionary events in May 1968, or between the conclusion of the American Civil War and the withdrawal of American troops from Vietnam, the rise and fall of international modernism was crucial to all historical, political, and intellectual de-velopments around the world.

Raccordi

La collana avvia una riflessione sui rapporti tra letteratura e altri saperi, osservando il modo in cui il testo letterario si arricchisce di temi, lessico, stili, forme, retorica propri di altri ambiti scientifici. Obiettivo della collana è indagare la rete di relazioni che la ricerca letteraria intrattiene con i linguaggi artistici (dal cinema al teatro, alla musica, alle arti figurative, alla serialità televisiva), con le discipline scientifiche (dalla biologia all’ecologia, dalle neuroscienze alla matematica), con la medicina, (dalla medicina narrativa alle Medical Humanities), con le scienze sociali, con il diritto, con l’economia e con le tecnologie. L’originalità della ricerca che si propone consiste nell’ambizione di rispecchiare l’intreccio tra ambiti apparentemente diversi, indagando il modo in cui le conoscenze letterarie influiscono sulle altre e viceversa, nel tentativo di correggere ogni rigida chiusura in specialismi contrapposti e cogliere l’evoluzione storica ed epistemica attraverso forme di dialogo e/o di scontro. La collana ospiterà opere dedicate al tema delle intersezioni tra discipline, mantenendo la letteratura sempre al centro degli equilibri. La prospettiva dovrà essere preferibilmente letteraria, con un’attenzione privilegiata alla letteratura italiana.

Lingue e Culture / Languages and Cultures / Langues et Cultures

ISSN: 2235-6363

This series, edited by the Department of Language Sciences and Foreign Literatures of the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Milan, intends to publish scholarly reflections on the languages and literatures taught within this Languages and Literatures Faculty. The series is rooted in a tradition of studies which are both philologico-literary and linguistic - a combination of approaches designed to be both rigorous and complemen-tary. The themes of the series will focus on linguistic, stylistic and literary studies re-lated to both European and extra-European cultures. The series will include mostly mo-nographs and doctoral thesis. Questa collana del Dipartimento di Scienze Linguistiche e Letterature Straniere dell'Università Cattolica di Milano intende offrire una riflessione scientifica organica sulle lingue e le letterature europee ed extraeuropee, di cui si professa linsegnamento nella Facoltà di Scienze Linguistiche e Letterature Straniere della medesima Università. La collana fonda le radici in una tradizione di studi caratterizzata da due filoni - uno filologico-letterario, l'altro linguistico - colti nella loro reciprocità. I temi della collana si incentrano su studi linguistici, stilistici e letterari relativi alle culture europee ed extra-europee. La collana accoglierà principalmente studi monografici e tesi di dottorato. This series has been published by LED Edizioni Universitarie since 2016: https://www.ledonline.it/Lingue-e-culture/index.php

Strukturwandel und Strukturpolitik. Structural Change and Structural Policies.

Editor in Chief: Prof. Dr. Wolfram Elsner Managing Editor: Dr. des. Henning Schwardt Editor’s Homepage: Prof. Dr. Wolfram Elsner Editor in Chief: Prof. Dr. Wolfram Elsner Managing Editor: Dr. des. Henning Schwardt Page d'accueil des éditeurs: Prof. Dr. Wolfram Elsner "Strukturwandel", vor allem "globaler Strukturwandel", ist in aller Munde. Er ist in der Tat das wichtigste Phänomen, in dem sich die Dynamik des Wirtschaftens äußert und das dem Wachstum der Wirtschaft zugrunde liegt. Auch Wirtschaftspolitik ist seit mehr als zwei Jahrzehnten weit eher "Strukturpolitik" (im weitesten Sinne, also institutionelle Strukturen eingeschlossen) als "Globalsteuerung". Statisch-statistisch gesehen haben Struktur und Strukturwandel mit ökonomischen Phänomenen auf "mittlerer" Aggregationsebene und ihrem Wandel zu tun: Sektoren, Branchen, sektorale Cluster und Netzwerke, ferner Regionen, regionale Cluster und Netzwerke sowie schließlich Betriebsgrößenklassen (wie z. B der "Mittelstand" oder Kleinstunternehmen und Existenzgründer). Diese strukturelle Dimension der Wirtschaft beschreibt zugleich das moderne Feld der Meso-Ökonomik. Zur Strukturpolitik zählen dementsprechend die sektorale Strukturpolitik (industrial policy), die heutzutage auch cluster- und netzwerkorientiert ist, einschließlich der Technologiepolitik, die regionale Strukturpolitik, einschließlich der Humankapitalförderung i. w. S., sowie die Mittelstands- und Existenzgründungsförderpolitik. Insgesamt soll mit dieser Reihe der Anspruch verfolgt werden, eine moderne, interaktive Meso-Ökonomik zu repräsentieren. Diese kann die vielfältigen Insuffizienzen reiner Mikro- und reiner Makro-Ökonomik und die vielfältigen, oft unbeabsichtigten (wenngleich oft systematischen) strukturellen Effekte von mikro- und makroökonomischen Vorgängen und mikro- und makropolitischen Aktionen aufdecken helfen und schließlich die Probleme durch adäquate privat-private und privat-öffentliche Interaktionsstrukturen einer Lösung näherbringen.

Editionen der Schweizerischen Musikforschenden Gesellschaft / Editions de la Société Suisse de Musicologie

ISSN: 1664-9656

"In ihrer neuen Editionsreihe veröffentlicht die Schweizerische Musikforschende Gesellschaft (SMG) Kompositionen mit Schweizer Kontext in kritischer Edition. Die Grundlage für eine erste Auswahl an bedeutsamen Werken schuf das vom Schweizerischen Nationalfonds getragene Projekt Musik aus Schweizer Klöstern und dessen Folgeprojekte am Institut für Musikwissenschaft der Universität Freiburg i. Ü.; ein umfangreiches Forschungsvorhaben, an dem auch die Arbeitsstelle Schweiz des Répertoire International des Sources Musicales (RISM) und die Schweizer Nationalphonothek beteiligt sind. Ziel ist es, musikalische Quellen aus dem 17., 18. und 19. Jahrhundert, die sich in Schweizer Klöstern erhalten haben, zu sichten, zu untersuchen und in ihren historischen und liturgischen Zusammenhängen zu deuten. Die ausgewählten Kompositionen sind in verschiedener Hinsicht repräsentativ: Bestimmte Quellen erlauben es zum Beispiel, den Vorgang der Beschaffung und der oftmals erfindungsreichen Adaption von Musikalien zu rekonstruieren, als deren Provenienz häufig die katholischen Gegenden des Alpenraums oder die grossen Musikmetropolen Europas zu eruieren sind. Andere Werke wurden von den Konventualen der einzelnen Klostergemeinschaften für ihre eigene Musikpflege komponiert und blieben bis heute an Ort aufbewahrt. Sie sind wichtige Zeugen spezifischer liturgischer und musikalischer Praktiken und nicht selten Beispiele für die Leichtigkeit, mit welcher die Musiker der Peripherie verschiedene gängige Stile handhabten. Es wurden jedoch von den Klöstern auch gezielt Werke bei prestigeträchtigen externen Autoren in Auftrag gegeben. Und nicht zuletzt finden sich in den Sammlungen musikalische Kostbarkeiten, die zufällig erhalten geblieben sind: Da die Schweiz weitgehend von Kriegszerstörungen verschont wurde, trifft man in den Klosterbibliotheken bisweilen auf Unika von geradezu spektakulärem historischem und ästhetischem Wert. Das Editionsprojekt beabsichtigt, wichtige Forschungslücken zu schliessen und die Vielfalt musikalischer Zeugnisse historisch zu beleuchten, um damit eine ungemein reiche Seite der schweizerischen Kulturgeschichte sichtbar zu machen. Die mit einem quellenkritischen Apparat versehenen Ausgaben wenden sich gleichermassen an die Wissenschaft wie an die musikalische Praxis mit der Intention, das Wissen um ein reichhaltiges Repertoire an geistlicher Musik aus drei Jahrhunderten zu bereichern. Denn erst im Erklingen findet diese Musik ihre Bestimmung, entsprechend den häufig aufwändig restaurierten Kirchenbauten zeugt sie von der eindrucksvollen Blütezeit der katholischen Kirchenmusiktradition."

Le travail des notions et des concepts philosophiques, le renouvellement de notre glossaire d'idées et la mise en question de nos visions du monde, nous aident à mieux maîtriser notre monde. Par l’examen attentif des modes de vie, par la fondation d'un nouvel universalisme qui prend au sérieux les différences et les diversités, la philosophie participe à édifier une identité plurielle ouverte à l'homme contem-porain. Page d'accueil d’éditeur : Prof. Dr. Hans Jörg Sandkühler Im Mittelpunkt der von den UNESCO-Lehrstühlen für Philosophie an den Universitäten Tunis (Fathi Triki) und Paris (Jacques Poulain) sowie der Deutschen Abteilung «Menschenrechte und Kulturen» des Pariser Lehrstuhls (Hans Jörg Sandkühler) herausgegebenen Reihe stehen Fragen der Praktischen Philosophie, des transkulturellen Dialogs und des humanen Zusammen-Lebens sowie epistemologische Beiträge zur Reflexion über die Wissenschaften, über Ethik, Politik und Recht und über Ästhetik in dem durch die UNESCO definierten Rahmen. Die philosophische Arbeit des Begriffs, die Erneuerung der Ideen und das Infragestellen der Weltbilder tragen zur besseren Meisterung der Weltprobleme bei. Die Philosophie leistet durch die Analyse der Lebensweisen und durch die Begründung eines neuen Universalismus, der die Differenzen und Unterschiede ernst nimmt, ihren Beitrag zur Stiftung einer pluralen, für das heutige menschliche Leben offenen Identität.
