Die neue Geschlechterforschung stellt alles in Frage was wir bisher über Männer und Frauen zu wissen glaubten. Nicht der Unterschied der Geschlechter, sondern vielmehr wie dieser erzeugt wird, steht im Mittelpunkt. Erstaunliche Erkenntnisse über die Vielfalt der Geschlechter und wie sie gemacht werden, liefern die ethnologischen und historischen Studien. Kritische Männerforschung untersucht die Mechanismen und Strategien, deren sich Männer zur Sicherung der Macht bedienen und zeigt auf, welche massiven Ängste der männerdominierten Kultur zugrundeliegen. Mit der Auflösung der Geschlechter durch andere Lebensentwürfe und -formen erschüttert die Queer-Theory als eine der innovativsten und gesellschaftskritischsten Denkströmungen der Gegenwart unser kulturelles Selbstverständnis. Christa Spannbauer studierte Anglistik und Germanistik mit Schwerpunkt in Geschlechterforschung und feministischer Theorie. In ihren Arbeiten setzt sie sich insbesondere mit der Konstruktion von Männlichkeit und d...

The first book to tell the visual story of the USSR's war against religion of all denominations, from the 1917 revolution to its fall in 1991 'We've finished the earthly tsars and we're coming for the heavenly ones!'. Thus spoke the Soviet Union's first atheist propagandists as they declared war on 'the opium of the people' across the USSR. Soviet atheism is the great lost subject of the 20th century. Pope Pius XI led a 'crusade of prayer' against it. George Orwell satirised it in Animal Farm. The Nazis called it a Jewish plot. Franklin D Roosevelt pressured Stalin to abandon it. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn blamed it for Russia's catastrophes. Ronald Reagan put it at the core of his 'Evil Empire' speech. And yet, because the Soviet Union promoted atheism almost entirely for domestic consumption, decades' worth of arcane and astonishing antireligious imagery remains unknown in the West. Drawing on the early Soviet atheist m...

The Greek lyric, elegiac, and iambic poets of the two centuries from 650 to 450 BC - Archilochus and Alcman, Sappho and Mimnermus, Anacreon, Simonides, and the rest - produced some of the finest poetry of antiquity, perfect in form, spontaneous in expression, reflecting all the joys and anxieties of their personal lives and of the societies in which they lived. This new poetic translation by a leading expert captures the nuances of meaning and the whole spirit of this poetry as never before. It is not merely a selection but covers all the surviving poems and intelligible fragments, apart from the works of Pindar and Bacchylides, and includes a number of pieces not previously translated.

In the Precious Garland, he offers intimate counsel on how to conduct one's life and how to construct social policies that reflect Buddhist ideals.
