Indische Kultur im Kontext

Rituale, Texte und Ideen aus Indien und der Welt : Festschrift für Klaus Mylius

By: Klaus Mylius

Indische Kultur im Kontext ist eine Festschrift zum 75. Geburtstag des international bekannten Indologen Klaus Mylius. Der Band enthalt Beitrage von erstrangigen Vertretern der Indologie aus den USA, Japan, der Schweiz, Deutschland, Belgien, Ungarn, Finnland und Indien. Weitere Artikel, die Themen aus anderen Kulturen mit Bezugen zu Indien behandeln, wurden von Freunden und Weggefahrten des Jubilars verfasst. Das Spektrum der Beitrage spiegelt das umfangreiche Schaffen von Klaus Mylius wider. Mehrere Autoren behandeln Rituale und Texte des altindischen Veda, die uber viele Jahrzehnte sein Hauptforschungsgebiet bildeten. Andere Artikel beschaftigen sich mit religions-, literatur- und wissenschaftsgeschichtlichen Themen der Indologie. Die nichtindologischen Themen, die grosstenteils Bezuge zu Indien haben, behandeln etwa chinesische Legenden, die europaische Aufklarung oder das Bild der Venus in der Kunstgeschichte. Insgesamt demonstriert der Band eine Idee, die Klaus Mylius selbst immer verfolgt hat: Die adaquate Interpretation indischer Texte kann nur bei Beachtung der jeweiligen - indischen und ausserindischen - Kontexte gelingen.

War, Pacification, and Mass Murder, 1939

The Einsatzgruppen in Poland

By: Jürgen Matthäus,Jochen Böhler,Klaus-Michael Mallmann

Published in association with the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum This invaluable work traces the role of the Einsatzgruppen of the Security Police and SD, the core group of Himmler’s murder units involved in the “Final Solution of the Jewish Question,” during and immediately after the German campaign in Poland in 1939. In addition to relevant Einsatzgruppen reports, the book includes key documents from other sources, especially eyewitness accounts from victims or onlookers. Such accounts provide an alternative, often much more realistic, perspective on the nature and consequences of the actions previously known only through documentation generated by the perpetrators. With carefully selected primary sources contextualized by the authors’ clear narrative, this work fills an important gap in our understanding of a crucial period in the evolution of policies directed against Jews, Poles, and others deemed dangerous or inferior by the Third Reich. Supplemented by maps and photographs, this book will be an essential reference and research tool.

Entangled Knowledge

By: Klaus Hock, Gesa Mackenthun

The intimate relationship between global European expansion since the early modern period and the concurrent beginnings of the scientific revolution has long been acknowledged. The contributions in this volume approach the entanglement of science and cultural encounters - many of them in colonial settings - from a variety of perspectives. Historical and historiographical survey essays sketch a transcultural history of knowledge and conduct a critical dialogue between the recent academic fields of Postcolonial Studies and Science & Empire Studies; a series of case studies explores the topos of Europe's 'great inventions', the scientific exploitation of culturally unfamiliar people and objects, the representation of indigenous cultures in discourses of geographical exploration, as well as non-European scientific practices. 'Entangled Knowledges' also refers to the critical practices of scholarship: various essays investigate scholarship's own failures in self-reflexivity, arising from an uncritical appropriation of cultural stereotypes and colonial myths, of which the discourse of Orientalism in historiography and residual racialist assumptions in modern genetics serve as examples. The volume thus contributes to the study of cultural and colonial relations as well as to the history of science and scholarship.

faith makes blind

Yoga against mental blindness

By: Klaus Pinkas

Humanity has alienated itself from its own nature and is heading towards the abyss with its eyes wide open. For while Christianity failed to give rationality a place alongside faith and thus to be credible, the Enlightenment failed to place spirituality alongside pure rationality. The result is a Euro-American culture that has no appreciation for nature and suffers from the illusion of the infinity of the world. However, society is more than just the sum of the people currently alive. Only if we honor the intergenerational contract will humanity have a chance of survival in this finite world. Yoga philosophy, with contemplation at its core, offers a way out of this impasse.
