Judgements on History and Historians
by Jacob BurckhardtWestern Civilisation was in its pomp when Jacob Burckhardt delivered his Judgements on History and Historians; European Empires spanned the globe, while the modern age was being forged in the nationalist revolutions of 1848. As a tutor to the young Friedrich Nietzsche as well as one of the first historians to take 'culture' as his subject rather than the triumphs and travails of kings and generals, Burckhardt was at the vanguard of this modern sensibility. Ambitious in its scope, ranging from the days of Ancient Egypt, through the Reformation to the time of Napoleon, this is indeed a history of 'Western Civilization', written before two monstrous world wars threw such a concept into disrepute.

Judging the Past: Ethics, History and Memory
by Geoffrey ScarreThis book presents an extended argument for the thesis that people of the present day are not debarred in principle from passing moral judgement on people who lived in former days, notwithstanding the inevitable differences in social and cultural circumstances that separate us. Some philosophers argue that because we can see things only from our own peculiar historical situation, we lack a sufficiently objective vantage point from which to appraise past people and their acts. If they are correct, then the judgements passed by twenty-first-century people must inevitably be biased and irrelevant, grounded on moral standards that would have seemed alien in that 'foreign country' of the past. This book challenges this relativistic position, contending that it seriously underestimates our ability to engage imaginatively with people who, however much their lifestyles may have differed from our own, were our fellow human beings, endowed with the same basic instincts, aversions, desires and aspirations. Taking a stand on a naturalistic theory of human beings, coupled with a Kantian conception of the equal worth of all human members of the Kingdom of Ends, Scarre argues that historical moral judgements can be sensitive to circumstances, fitting and fair, and untainted by anachronism. The discussion ends by examining the implications of this position for the practice of historians and for the ethics of memory and commemoration.

The Judicial Imagination: Writing After Nuremberg
by Lyndsey StonebridgeTells the story of the struggle to imagine new forms of justice after Nuremberg Returning to the work of Hannah Arendt as a theoretical starting point, Lyndsey Stonebridge traces a critical aesthetics of judgement in postwar writers and intellectuals, including Rebecca West, Elizabeth Bowen, Muriel Spark and Iris Murdoch. Writing in the false dawn of a new era of international justice and human rights, these complicated women intellectuals were drawn to the law because of its promise of justice, yet critical of its political blindness and suspicious of its moral claims. Bringing together literary-legal theory with trauma studies, The Judicial Imagination, argues that today we have much to learn from these writers' impassioned scepticism about the law's ability to legislate for the territorial violence of our times. Key Features * Returns to the work of Hannah Arendt as the starting point for a new theorisation of the relation between law and trauma * Provides a new context for understanding the continuities between late modernism and postwar writing through a focus on justice and human rights * Offers a model of reading between history, law and literature which focuses on how matters of style and genre articulate moral, philosophical and political ambiguities and perplexities * Makes a significant contribution to the rapidly developing fields of literary-legal and human rights studies

Judicial Rhapsodies: Rhetoric and Fundamental Rights in the Supreme Court
by Doug CoulsonAll judges legitimize their decisions in writing, but US Supreme Court justices depend on public acceptance to a unique degree. Previous studies of judicial opinions have explored rhetorical strategies that produce legitimacy, but none have examined the laudatory, even operatic, forms of writing Supreme Court justices have used to justify fundamental rights decisions. Doug Coulson demonstrates that such “judicial rhapsodies” are not an aberration but a central feature of judicial discourse. First examining the classical origins of divisions between law and rhetoric, Coulson tracks what he calls an epideictic register—highly affective forms of expression that utilize hyperbole, amplification, and vocabularies of praise—through a surprising number of landmark Supreme Court opinions. Judicial Rhapsodies recovers and revalues these instances as significant to establishing and maintaining shared perspectives that form the basis for common experience and cooperation.

Judicial Rhapsodies recovers and revalues these instances as significant to establishing and maintaining shared perspectives that form the basis for common experience and cooperation. “Judicial Rhapsodies is both compelling and important. Coulson brings his well-developed knowledge of rhetoric to bear on one of the most central (and most democratically fraught) means of governance in the United States: the Supreme Court opinion. He demonstrates that the epideictic, far from being a dispensable or detestable element of judicial rhetoric, is an essential feature of how the Court operates and seeks to persuade.” —Keith Bybee, Syracuse University
Judith Butler: From Norms to Politics (Key Contemporary Thinkers #21)
by Moya LloydWith the publication of her highly acclaimed and much-cited book Gender Trouble, Judith Butler became one of the most influential feminist theorists of her generation. Her theory of gender performativity and her writings on corporeality, on the injurious capacity of language, on the vulnerability of human life to violence and on the impact of mourning on politics have, taken together, comprised a substantial and highly original body of work that has a wide and truly cross-disciplinary appeal. In this lively book, Moya Lloyd provides both a clear exposition and an original critique of Butler's work. She examines Butlers core ideas, traces the development of her thought from her first book to her most recent work, and assesses Butlers engagements with the philosophies of Hegel, Foucault, Derrida, Irigaray and de Beauvoir, as well as addressing the nature and impact of Butler's writing on feminist theory. Throughout Lloyd is particularly concerned to examine Butler's political theory, including her critical interventions in such contemporary political controversies as those surrounding gay marriage, hate-speech, human rights, and September 11 and its aftermath. Judith Butler offers an accessible and original contribution to existing debates that will be an invaluable resource for students and scholars alike.

Judith Man: Printed Writings 1500–1640: Series I, Part Three, Volume 2 (The Early Modern Englishwoman: A Facsimile Library of Essential Works & Printed Writings, 1500-1640: Series I, Part Three)
by Amelia A. ZurcherAn Epitome of the History of Faire Argenis and Polyarchus is Judith Man's English translation of a 1623 French work by Nicolas Coeffeteau, Histoire de Poliarque et d'Argenis, which is itself an abridgement and translation of one of the most widely read fictional works of the seventeenth century, John Barclay's 1621 Latin romance Argenis. An extended political allegory of the rise to power of the French king Henri IV, Barclay's romance is peppered with numerous veiled anecdotes of politics at the English and other European courts and long disquisitions on statecraft and political ethics. It has been assumed that Barclay's work was strictly for a male audience, but Man's translation is evidence that women did in fact read Argenis, and might even suggest that allegorical romance offered women writers and readers an inroad into political discourse.

Judith Wright and Emily Carr: Gendered Colonial Modernity (Historicizing Modernism)
by Anne Collett Dorothy JonesKnitting together two fascinating but entirely distinct lives, this ingeniously structured braided biography tells the story of the lives and work of two women, each a cultural icon in her own country yet lesser known in the other's. Australian poet Judith Wright and Canadian painter Emily Carr broke new ground for female artists in the British colonies and influenced the political and social debates about environment and indigenous rights that have shaped Australia and Canada in the 21st century. In telling their story/ies, this book charts the battle for recognition of their modernist art and vision, pointing out significant moments of similarity in their lives and work. Although separated by thousands of miles, their experience of colonial modernity was startlingly analogous, as white settler women bent on forging artistic careers in a male-dominated world and sphere rigged against them. Through all this, though, their cultural importance endures; two remarkable women whose poetry and painting still speak to us today of their passionate belief in the transformative power of art.

Jugend bewegt Literatur: Lisa Tetzner, Kurt Kläber und die Literatur der Jugendbewegung (Studien zu Kinder- und Jugendliteratur und -medien #8)
by Maria Becker Julia Benner Judith WassiltschenkoDas Autorenpaar Lisa Tetzner (1894-1963) und Kurt Kläber (1897-1959, Pseudonym Kurt Held) kann in der Geschichte der deutschsprachigen Kinder- und Jugendliteratur nicht überschätzt werden. Die im Exil entstandenen Klassiker Die Kinder aus der Nummer 67, Die schwarzen Brüder und Die rote Zora und ihre Bande sind dem Publikum bis heute bekannt. Der Beginn ihrer produktiven Partnerschaft liegt bereits in der Jugendbewegung. Tetzner und Kläber begegneten sich auf Zusammenkünften von organisierten Jugendgruppen und pflegten Kontakt zu zahlreichen Persönlichkeiten aus diesem Umfeld, u. a. Eugen Diederichs, Friedrich Muck-Lamberty und Gertrud Prellwitz. Einige Beiträge des interdisziplinär angelegten Sammelbands zeigen detailliert, wie die frühe Auseinandersetzung mit den Ideen der Jugendbewegung das Werk des Autorenpaars nachhaltig prägte. Andere Aufsätze befassen sich mit der literarischen Darstellung der Jugendbewegung und literarischen Phänomenen aus dem Kontext der Jugendbewegungen in zeitgenössischen Werken weiterer Autor*innen, darunter Friedrich Wolf und Else Ury. Damit wird der Forschung erstmals ein tieferes Verständnis vom Konnex Jugendbewegung – Jugendlichkeit – Jugendliteratur geboten.
Jugend - Medien - Extremismus: Wo Jugendliche mit Extremismus in Kontakt kommen und wie sie ihn erkennen
by Carsten Reinemann Angela Nienierza Nayla Fawzi Claudia Riesmeyer Katharina NeumannJugendliche sind die wichtigste Zielgruppe extremistischer Radikalisierungsversuche, die heute vor allem im Internet stattfinden. Erstmals untersucht diese Studie, wie häufig Jugendliche in verschiedenen Medien und in ihrem Umfeld mit extremistischen Einstellungen und Botschaften konfrontiert werden und wie gut sie Extremismus erkennen. Die Studie identifiziert vier Typen von Jugendlichen, die als „Unbedarfte“, „Interessierte“, „Reflektierte“ und „Gefährdete“ klassifiziert werden und die sich u. a. in ihrer Politikkompetenz, ihrer Medienkompetenz und ihren Einstellungen erheblich unterscheiden. Aus den Befunden werden eine Reihe von Handlungsempfehlungen abgeleitet, die sich an Politik, Schulen, Medien und Plattformbetreiber richten.
