    Content: From Heimat to Hatred studies German Jews involved in ventures that were from the beginning, or became increasingly, of the Right. Jewish agricultural settlement, Jews' participation in the so-called "Defense of Germandom in the East", their place in military and veteran circles and finally right-of-center politics form the core of this book. The book investigates the inherent tension in the involvement in such ventures between sincere dedication to them and the apologetic defense against antisemitic stereotypes of rootlessness, intellectualism or cosmopolitanism.

    Series Statement: Nachhaltige Entwicklung Band 10
    Content: Whether smartphone, smart home or smart city—digitalisation determines almost all areas of our lives today. The topic of sustainability is also omnipresent in 2019 and numerous challenges associated with it are currently being discussed. Digitalisation and sustainability can thus be regarded as the two megatrends of the 21st century. The question of whether digitalisation is an instrument for achieving sustainable development is increasingly at the centre of the debate. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) developed by the United Nations as part of the 2030 Agenda are of particular interest for assessing digitalisation as a potential means of achieving sustainable development. With the help of empirical work by students from the University of Kaiserslautern, this edited volume provides answers to the question of how different digital technologies can help to achieve these 17 goals. With contributions by Katharina Spraul, Cynthia Friedrich, Matthias Klos, Florian Wiegner, Marius Wienand, Antonino-Enrico Bucceri, Jana Becher, Pierre Kohlmann, Teresa Körber, Viktoria Kruppenbacher

    Series Statement: Rombach Wissenschaften. Reihe Litterae Band 242
    Content: In einer Verbindung von diskurs-, medien- und literaturgeschichtlicher Perspektivierung wird gezeigt, dass die Einführung der Kategorie des Individuellen in den Bereich des Wissens und damit die Entstehung des modernen Falldenkens am Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts erst durch Fallsammlungen ermöglicht wird, die in Zeitschriften publiziert werden. Im Rekurs auf Flecks Konzept der Zeitschriftenwissenschaft wird das Medium als das Fallmaterial organisierendes Dispositiv untersucht, das in seiner Heterogenität, Vorläufigkeit und Diskursivität dem Genre der Falldarstellung entspricht. Die Analyse von Falldarstellungen im Publikationskontext periodischer Schriften verdeutlicht, dass Fälle nicht als isolierte Einzeltexte zu betrachten sind, sondern in ihren Formen und Funktionen erst erfasst werden können, wenn man sie in einem intertextuellen Gefüge von Reihenbildungen, Weiterverarbeitungen und Diskussionen in den Blick nimmt. Autoren und Psychologen wie Herz, Moritz, Wezel, Hoffbauer, Reil, Maimon, Trapp, Bendavid, Conz oder Müllner werden situiert als Teil einer Debattenkultur, die vorrangig über Zeitschriftennetzwerke organisiert ist. Ein Konnex von Fallsammlungen und literarischen Diskursen ergibt sich nicht nur durch thematische Interferenzen, sondern ebenso durch die Adaption literarischer Narrationsformen bei der Konstruktion von Fällen
    Content: By combining the perspectives of discourse, media and literary history, this book shows that awareness of the category of individuality, and therefore the emergence of modern case law thinking, was only generated at the end of the 18th century through the publication of collections of cases in journals. With recourse to Fleck’s concept of journal theory, this book examines this medium as the agency that organised the case material and that corresponded to the genre of case reports because of its heterogeneity, provisional nature and discursiveness. Analysing case reports in the context of their publication in periodicals highlights that cases should not be regarded as isolated individual texts, but that their forms and functions can only be understood if they are examined within an intertextual framework of series of images, further processing and discussions. This book classes authors and psychologists such as Herz, Moritz, Wezel, Hoffbauer, Reil, Maimon, Trapp, Bendavid, Conz or Müllner as being part of a culture of debate which overrides networks of journals. Furthermore, there is not only a connection between collections of cases and literary discourse in terms of their overlapping themes, but also through their adaptation of literary forms of narration in the construction of cases

    Series Statement: SpringerBriefs in Applied Sciences and Technology,
    Content: The conventional approach to risk communication, based on a centralized and controlled model, has led to blatant failures in the management of recent safety related events. In parallel, several cases have proved that actors not thought of as risk governance or safety management contributors may play a positive role regarding safety. Building on these two observations and bridging the gap between risk communication and safety practices leads to a new, more societal perspective on risk communication, that allows for smart risk governance and safety management. This book is Open Access under a CC-BY licence.    .
