Productive Digression is a translation of the ancient term poetics:
as a practice of theory. The products produced in the mode of
poiesis are 'digressive' in that they operate off track; they
resist the main stream of every day prose. They do so for various
reasons and in various respects. Mostly, they are explained
historically, relative to historical contexts and, that is,
contrary to what they are meant to resist. Instead, this book
investigates the modes of resistance, their epistemology of
production, in short, the logic of digression. The method addresses
the singular exemplarity of art and literature; it elucidates the
impact of poiesis as an epistemological challenge and redefines the
analysis of literature and art as branches of an Historical
Epistemology. Proceeding from the state of affairs in 20th century
criticism and aesthetics (Benjamin, Adorno, Blumenberg,
Merleau-Ponty), the epistemology of representation (Whitehead,
Canguilhem, Bachelard, Rheinberger) is revised in, and with respect
to critical consequences (Derrida, Marin, de Man, Agamben). From
literary criticism and critical legal studies to the scenario of
the life sciences, the essays collected here redirect the logic of
research towards the epistemological grounds of an aesthetics
underneath the hermeneutics of every day life.
In the past decade the Rule of Law developments in the world have
become contentious; its idea, concept, and global implementation
have met growing resistance, which may soon shift the global
balance of power, prompting international crisis. This book offers
insights into the globally relevant Rule-of-Law ramifications for
human rights, consitutional law, and philosophy of law in the time
of such considerable challenges to it. From this legal perspective,
the contributors analyze the questions of independence of
judiciary, liberal education, freedom of mass media; populism, and
corruption. They discuss global civic education, enhanced social
inclusion, violence prevention, restorative justice and other
methods of civic participation that can create larger opportunities
for freedom in a UN world and help overcome increased ideological
division between global North and South.

Shakespearean Genealogies of Power proposes a new view on
Shakespeare's involvement with the legal sphere: as a visible space
between the spheres of politics and law and well able to negotiate
legal and political, even constitutional concerns, Shakespeare's
theatre opened up a new perspective on normativity. His plays
reflect, even create, "history" in a new sense on the premises of
the older conceptions of historical and legal exemplarity:
examples, cases, and instances are to be reflected rather than
treated as straightforwardly didactic or salvific. Thus, what comes
to be recognized, reflected and acknowledged has a disowning,
alienating effect, whose enduring aftermath rather than its
theatrical immediacy counts and remains effective. In Shakespeare,
the law gets hold of its normativity as the problematic efficacy of
unsolved -- or rarely ever completely solved -- problems: on the
stage of the theatre, the law has to cope with a mortgage of
history rather than with its own success story. The exemplary
interplay of critical cultural and legal theory in the
twentieth-century -- between Carl Schmitt and Hans Kelsen, Walter
Benjamin and Ernst Kantorowicz, Hans Blumenberg and Giorgio
Agamben, Robert Cover and Niklas Luhmann -- found in Shakespeare's
plays its speculative instruments.

What impact has deconstruction had on the way we read American
culture? And how is American culture itself peculiarly
deconstructive?
To address these questions, this volume brings together some of
the most provocative thinkers associated with deconstruction, among
them Jacques Derrida, Judith Butler, and Avital Ronnel. Ranging
across a wide field, from the ethics of reading to the rhetoric of
performance, the contributors offer provocative insights into a new
sense of the political. The America of the volume's title turns out
to be the place where the politics and poetics of responsibility
meet. It is also the place where we confront the tension between
difference and profound otherness.

The past 10 years have seen a remarkable change in the approach to
cardiac arrhythmias, from a position of confidence and a feeling of
well-being about pharmacological treatment to a situation in which
there is now marked uncertainty and general apprehension about the
role of antiarrhythmic drugs. Until relatively recently the
prevailing concept in antiarrhythmic therapy was that arrhythmias
could be controlled by drugs which slowed conduction or suppressed
automaticity, goals well served by the sodium channel-blocking
drugs and glycosides. Drug re search was based largely on the
development of agents mimicking those already available, but with
greater efficacy, fewer side effects or a more favourable phar
macokinetic profile. The CAST trial stands out as a landmark in the
evolution of arrhytmia manage ment; rarely has a single trial had
such a profound impact not only on clinical prac tice, but also on
the whole approach of those involved in the research, development
and regulation of antiarrhythmic drugs. The results of the CAST
trial, designed to redress the shortcomings of earlier trials which
had failed to demonstrate the anticipated improvement in mortality
post-myocardial infarction with the use of class I agents, are well
known. The CAST and CAST II showed an increase in mor tality
associated with the active agent (encainide, flecainide or
morizicine) com pared to placebo treatment. They firmly established
the potential danger in the use of class I drugs."
The overarching objective of this volume is to discuss and critique
the legal regulation of human trafficking in national and
transnational context. Specifically, discussion is needed not only
with regard to the historical and philosophical points of departure
for any criminalisation of trafficking, but also, regarding the
societal and social framework, the empirical dimension such as
existing statistics in the area, and the need for more data. The
book combines descriptive and normative analyses of the crime of
trafficking in human beings from a cross-legal perspective.
Notwithstanding the enhanced interest for human trafficking in
politics, the public and the media, a critical perspective such as
the one pursued herewith has so far been largely absent. Against
this background, this approach allows for theoretical findings to
be addressed by pointing out and elaborating different,
interdisciplinary conflicts and inconsistencies in the regulation
of human trafficking. The book discusses the phenomenon of human
trafficking critically from various angles, giving it 'shape' and
showing how it comes to life in the legal regulation.

The year 2013 marks the centennial of the first Free-German Youth
Day that took place on the Meissner massif. Anti-Semitic outbursts
erupted at the margins of this historical gathering. In its wake, a
right-wing populist faction of the youth movement arose for the
first time. This collected volume examines the interface between
the youth movement, nationalism, and anti-Semitism."
This is a completely revised and updated edition of a major history
of an important period in German and European history, starting
with the accession of Henry IV to the German throne in 1056, taking
in the reign of the energetic and successful Frederick Barbarossa
(1152-90), and culminating with the election of Rudolf Habsburg who
reimposed order following the fall of the Hohenstaufens. The German
empire stretched from Rome to Pomerania, and from Hainaut to
Silesia; its history is of major significance for the politics of
Europe, for the expansion of Latin Christendom, and for the
fortunes of the Papacy. Every aspect of its internal life is
covered: economic growth and population increase, education, trade
and industry, the church and religious life. Political development
and accompanying social changes are examined and placed in their
European context. This book provides a valuable and up-to-date
guide to the complex and generally unfamiliar history of medieval
Germany.

Der ploetzliche Herztod ist die haufigste Einzeltodesursache in den
europaischen und nordamerikanischen Industriestaaten. Die
Gesamtzahl der Todesfalle wird auf 20 bis 30 pro Woche und 1 000000
Einwohner, somit auf 600000-1000000 pro Jahr geschatzt. Die
Mehrzahl der Todesfalle betrifft Manner im Alter von 20 bis 65
Jahren (394, 459, 508). Als wichtigste unmittelbare Todesursache
wurde bereits 1917 von Hering das primare Kammerflimmern erkannt
(257). Andere Ursachen wie akute AV-Blockierungen mit UEbergang in
Herzstillstand oder akuter kardiogener Schock sind vergleichsweise
selten (208, 288, 459, 489). Die toedlichen Rhythmusstoerungen
treten oft ohne Wamsymptome auf. 30-70 % der Todesfalle ereignen
sich innerhalb der ersten Stunde, bis zu 90 % innerhalb der ersten
beiden Stunden nach Ausbildung einer akuten kardiologischen
Symptomatik (Abb. 1) ____________________________ 8
