Art as Human Practice: An Aesthetics
by Georg W. BertramHow is art both distinct and different from the rest of human life, while also mattering in and for it? This central yet overlooked question in contemporary philosophy of art is at the heart of Georg Bertram's new aesthetic. Drawing on the resources of diverse philosophical traditions – analytic philosophy, French philosophy, and German post-Kantian philosophy – his book offers a systematic account of art as a human practice. One that remains connected to the whole of life.

by Hans BertramDie Ergebnisse der vorstehenden Untersuchung lassen sich in den folgenden drei Punkten zusammenfassen: 1. Es ist ein erheblicher Wechsel zwischen der (rückerinnerten) Wahl vom De zember 1990 und der Wahlabsicht Anfang 1993 festzustellen. Rund 40% aller Befragten sind entweder zu einer anderen Partei gewechselt, oder sie haben sich von einer Partei in die Kategorie "Nichtwähler" , "Weiß nicht" oder "Kei ne Antwort" begeben. Besonders stark davon betroffen sind die Parteien der Bonner Regierungskoalition, die nur eine Minderheit ihrer Wähler von 1990 bis zum Jahresbeginn 1993 bei der Stange halten konnten. Allerdings ist nur eine Minderheit der CDU-Abwanderer zu anderen Parteien gewechselt, die große Mehrheit hat sich zunächst in die gewissermaßen parteipolitisch neutra le Kategorie der Unentschiedenen, der Nichtwähler und der Antwortverweigerer bewegt. Es handelt sich vermutlich, zumindest gemessen arn Stand von 1993, um keine endgültigen Umorientierungen, sondern um Distanzierungen von der ursprünglich gewählten Partei. 2. Ähnlich wie die Parteiidentifikationen weisen die Parteiwählerschaften auch in den neuen Bundesländern eine gewisse sozialstrukturelle Profilierung auf, die jedoch noch deutlich diffuser als in Westdeutschland ist. Dies bedeutet mit anderen Worten, daß die Wahlabsichten in Ostdeutschland sozialstrukturell weniger stark verankert sind als im Westen. Daraus läßt sich folgern, daß das Wahlverhalten in den neuen Bundesländern auch mittelfristig stärkere Aus schläge zeigen dürfte als im Westen. Überraschungen lassen sich aufgrund dieser hohen Volatilität ebenso wenig ausschließen wie Erdrutschwahlen in die eine oder andere Richtung. 3.

Solidarität, Lebensformen und regionale Entwicklung
by Hans Bertram Bernhard Nauck Thomas KleinDas Buch untersucht die regionale Vielfalt kultureller Milieus und Lebensverhältnisse in Deutschland: private Lebensformen und -bedingungen, das Bildungsverhalten, demographische Prozesse, Einstellungen und Haltungen gegenüber Ausländern. Im einzelnen gehen die Autoren folgenden Fragen nach: Lassen sich Milieueffekte hinsichtlich des Bildungserfolgs von Kindern nachweisen? Wie wirken sich die jeweiligen Bildungssysteme der Länder auf die Bildungsbeteiligung und Bildungschancen junger Menschen aus? Existieren spezifische Regionalismen hinsichtlich fremdenfeindlicher Einstellungen? Sind regionale Unterschiede in der Lebenserwartung und Pflegebedürftigkeit oder in der stationären Altenpflege konstatierbar? Welche regionalen Unterschiede existieren in der Partnerwahl und in den Partnerschaftsformen? Wie entwickeln sich heute familiäre Lebensformen in städtischen und ländlichen Räumen? Welche methodischen Besonderheiten weisen regionale Stichproben auf? Der regionale Zuschnitt der Beiträge erlaubt es, in diesen sozialpolitisch relevanten Fragen über die konventionelle Sozialberichterstattung auf nationaler Ebene hinauszugehen und Aussagen auf kleinräumiger Ebene zu treffen.

Fifty Years of Family Planning in the Democratic Republic of the Congo: The Dogged Pursuit of Progress (Routledge Studies on Gender and Sexuality in Africa)
by Jane T. BertrandThis book chronicles five decades of struggle to introduce family planning into one of the largest, most complex countries in sub-Saharan Africa: the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).Interweaving details of major political, social, and economic events into the history of family planning in DRC (formerly Zaïre), the book analyses the achievements and setbacks of five decades of programmatic work. President Mobutu’s 1972 discourse on Naissances Désirables (desirable births) opened the door to organized family planning programs, which gained considerable momentum in the 1980s despite societal norms favoring large families. Two pillages and armed conflict paralyzed development work during the decade of the 1990s, and family planning was one of multiple public health programs that struggled to regain lost ground in the 2000s. With new donor funding and implementing agencies, the 2010s witnessed rapid programmatic expansion and improved strategies. By 2018, family planning was operating as a well-oiled machine. But progress is fragile. The book ends by tracing the deleterious effects of the colonial period to contemporary programming and individual contraceptive use. It asks hard questions about donor financing. And it details the six conditions needed to accelerate family planning progress in the DRC, in pursuit of providing millions of Congolese women and men with the means of controlling their own fertility.The book will be of interest to development and public health researchers and practitioners, as well as to historians of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Illuminating Human Evolution: 150 Years after Darwin (Evolutionary Studies)
by Jaume Bertranpetit Juli PeretóThis book presents a series of perspectives showing the current knowledge about human evolution. On the occasion of the 150th anniversary of Darwin's book, The Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex, in which he explicitly addresses the natural origin of the human species, this collective work reviews current and diverse aspects of human evolution: from psychology, linguistics, genomics, paleontology, artistic expression or sexual selection. It also offers a historical, social and ideological context of what is often considered to be Darwin's second great work after The Origin of Species.Although current research is concentrated largely on fossils and genomes, this book also deals with the main points Darwin centered his attention on; comparative morphology and psychology, and sexual selection. It also covers other new aspects, such as the origin of art, social structure and social learning. With contributions from leading experts in their respective fields, the book guides readers to the study of the social context of Darwin and his time, and the state of the art of studies on human evolution and sexual selection, considering all aspects that Darwin examined, including those that emerged later and now are important disciplines in our understanding of our own evolution.The English translation of parts of this book from its Spanish original manuscript was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content.

Coming Out Under Fire: The History of Gay Men and Women in World War II
by Allan BérubéDuring World War II, as the United States called on its citizens to serve in unprecedented numbers, the presence of gay Americans in the armed forces increasingly conflicted with the expanding antihomosexual policies and procedures of the military. In Coming Out Under Fire, Allan Berube examines in depth and detail these social and political confrontation--not as a story of how the military victimized homosexuals, but as a story of how a dynamic power relationship developed between gay citizens and their government, transforming them both. Drawing on GIs' wartime letters, extensive interviews with gay veterans, and declassified military documents, Berube thoughtfully constructs a startling history of the two wars gay military men and women fough--one for America and another as homosexuals within the military.Berube's book, the inspiration for the 1995 Peabody Award-winning documentary film of the same name, has become a classic since it was published in 1990, just three years prior to the controversial "don't ask, don't tell" policy, which has continued to serve as an uneasy compromise between gays and the military. With a new foreword by historians John D'Emilio and Estelle B. Freedman, this book remains a valuable contribution to the history of World War II, as well as to the ongoing debate regarding the role of gays in the U.S. military.
Pandemic Communication and Resilience (Risk, Systems and Decisions)
by David M. BerubeThis book examines how we design and deliver health communication messages relating to outbreaks, epidemics, and pandemics. We have experienced major changes to how the public receives and searches for information about health crises over the last twelve decades with the ongoing shift from text/broadcast-based to digital messaging and social media. Both health theories and practices are examined as it applies to testing, tracking, hoarding, therapeutics, and vaccines with case studies. Challenges to communicate about health to diverse audiences (including the science illiterate) and across (both Western and developing economies) have been complicated by politics, norms and mores, personal heuristics, and biases, such as mortality salience, news avoidance, and quarantine fatigue. Issues of economic development and land use, trade and transportation, and even climate change have increased the exposure of human populations to infectious diseases making risk and resilience more pressing. The book has been designed to support health communicators and public health management professionals, students, and interested stakeholders and university libraries.
Beyond Modernism and Postmodernism: Essays on the Politics of Culture
by Maurice R. BerubeBerube examines the political matrix of intellectual and cultural America. In a wide-ranging series of essays from the rise of the postmodern intellectual to a modernist appreciation of the spiritual quality of the paintings of Jackson Pollock, Berube stakes out his claim that all areas of human endeavor are rooted in a politics of culture.The essay collection is divided into three sections: The first two essays deal with the postmodern intellectual and the corporate university; the second section plumbs the depth of a conservative school reform movement and asks whether we have not reached an end to education reform. The last section contains essays pertaining to precarious state of arts education in the schools, reflections on a modernist literary canon, the contribution of Pollock and plumbing alternative views of Jesus as the penultimate revolutionary. Of particular interest to scholars, students, and other researchers involved with cultural studies and education.
