After the Lebanese Civil War, many Lebanese novelists committed
themselves to building a "memory for the future." What resulted was
a vital contribution to the legacy of contemporary Arabic
literature. Through interviews, literary analysis, and the lens of
trauma studies, Lang sheds light on what it means to remember
through post-war literature.
Since 2011, the art of the Arab uprisings has been the subject of
much scholarly and popular attention. Yet the role of artists,
writers and filmmakers themselves as social actors working under
extraordinary conditions has been relatively neglected. Drawing on
critical readings of Bourdieu's Field Theory, this book explores
the production of culture in Arab social spaces in `crisis'. In ten
case studies, contributors examine a wide range of countries and
conflicts, from Algeria to the Arab countries of the Gulf. They
discuss among other things the impact of Western public diplomacy
organisations on the arts scene in post-revolutionary Cairo and the
consequences of dwindling state support for literary production in
Yemen. Providing a valuable source of empirical data for
researchers, the book breaks new ground in adapting Bourdieu's
theory to the particularities of cultural production in the Middle
East and North Africa.
Dieses Buch vergewissert sich der Ursprunge der
Voelkerrechtstradition. Die heutige Debatte uber die Rolle des
Voelkerrechts in den internationalen Beziehungen geht auf die
Diskussionen des Kalten Krieges zuruck. In Westdeutschland entstand
nach 1945 ein voelkerrechtlicher Ansatz, der bis heute fur seinen
Praxisbezug und die Idee einer auf Verfassungsprinzipien beruhenden
internationalen Gemeinschaft bekannt ist. Auf Grundlage des Werkes
und Nachlasses von Hermann Mosler, der als der bedeutendste
Voelkerrechtler der Bundesrepublik gilt, wird die Genese der
praxisorientierten Gemeinschaftskonzeption im Kontext der
politischen Entwicklung Deutschlands wahrend des Kalten Krieges
analysiert. Die Anknupfung an die Weimarer Voelkerrechtstradition,
Lehren aus der nationalsozialistischen Vergangenheit, die
Westintegration unter Konrad Adenauer und Moslers katholischer
Universalismus werden dabei als Faktoren hervorgehoben, die einen
spezifisch westdeutschen Ansatz im Voelkerrecht hervorbrachten.
