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.

Katowice Interdisciplinary and Comparative Studies

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.

Phenomenology and Literature

ISSN: 1524-0193

The focus of this series is on studies using the tenets of phenomenology and its various (dogmatic and skeptical) evolutions to elucidate and interpret primarily literary works of art in the contexts of aesthetics, ontology, epistemology, axiology, hermeneutics, communication, reader response, reception, cultural and social theory. Studies of a comparative nature which straddle and/or combine the disciplines of philosophical and literary studies are distinctive features of this monograph series. Emphasis is on subjects that may advance the state of the art, set trends, generate and continue discussion, expand horizons beyond present perspectives, and/or redefine previously held notions. Approaches may center on individual works, authors, schools of phenomelogical thought, and/or abstract notions, including issues of a comparative nature spanning the cultures, languages, and literatures of several nations from the perspectives of world literature and philosophy.

The Yearbook on History and Interpretation of Phenomenology

“The Yearbook on History and Interpretation of Phenomenology” is a peer-reviewed annual. It includes contributions about the history of phenomenology because phenomenology has its own specific development anchored in the texts of Edmund Husserl, his predecessors and followers, its distinctive themes and problems set within the frame of the philosophical and scientific discussions of their period. The yearbook is open to inquiries about the interpretation of phenomenology and to different approaches towards understanding phenomenological research, its systematic and methodological insights and its possible contributions to contemporary discussions both about pure philosophy and within the context of more interdisciplinary research. It is also open to broader discussions with other philosophical schools of thought. Volume 5 terminates the series.

Die Reihe mit Veröffentlichungen in deutscher und englischer Sprache widmet sich ohne Orthodoxie Fragen der transzendentalen bzw. hermeneutischen Phänomenologie, wie sie sich von Husserl und Heidegger her ergeben, und entwickelt, vornehmlich ausgehend von der Rezeption dieser ersten Klassiker der Phänomenologie und zugleich in Befolgung von Husserls Gründungsmaxime "Zu den Sachen selbst" Perspektiven für die künftige Forschung.
