In comparing the Mexican youth movement #Yo Soy 132 and Occupy, I consider how these groups work against the hegemonic views presented by mass media. I look at levels of Internet access in Mexico and the United States and determine how it affects their tactics and strategies. My thesis is a snapshot of how these movements currently function, but I also aim to provide insight into how they are impacting the future of media.

Bernhard Jülg dürfte heute nur noch einigen Linguisten als Herausgeber von J.S. Vaters Bibliographie der Grammatiken und Lexika (1847) und einigen klassischen Philologen als Professor an den Universitäten Lemberg, Krakau und Innsbruck bekannt sein. Berühmt war er jedoch als Pionier der Mongolistik. Nachdem er 1847 sein Doktorat von der Universität Kiel für eine Skizze der kalmükischen Grammatik erhalten hatte und damit wohl der erste Doktor in diesem Fach überhaupt war, wollte I.J. Schmidt (1779-1847), der Begründer der Mongolistik in Europa, Jülg zu seinem Nachfolger an der Petersburger Akademie der Wissenschaften machen, was sein vorzeitiger Tod aber verhinderte. Das Kalmükische blieb indes für Jülg ein Leben lang sein Hauptinteresse, er sammelte und kopierte kalmükische Manuskripte und veröffentlichte die Erzählungszyklen Arji Borji und Siddhi-Kür in mongolischer bzw. kalmükischer Version mit deutscher Übersetzung. Für diese Publikation mussten mongolische und kalmükische Schrifttypen geschnitten werden, für deren Finanzierung Jülg die Österreichische Akademie und einen Innsbrucker Buchhändler gewinnen konnte. In Jülgs Korrespondenz mit dem berühmten Sprachwissenschaftler Hans Conon von der Gabelentz lässt sich die Lebensgeschichte dieses unermüdlichen Gelehrten beispielhaft nachvollziehen und zugleich spiegelt sie die Entwicklung der Sprachstudien im Deutschland des 19. Jahrhunderts wider.

African American educators shaped a role for themselves in the larger civil rights movement by striving for inclusion, on equal footing, in the National Education Association (NEA). This book explores the relationship between the NEA, the nation's largest teacher organization, and the predominately black American Teachers Association, and illustrates how African American educators helped to redefine the NEA's core ideology to include the support of policies, practice, and politics that promoted educational equity for children and educators who have been historically marginalized. Examining heated debates in African American communities and in the NEA, and the immediate and long-term effects of inclusion on educators and public school children, this book reveals teacher associations as something more than labor unions and educators as activists for educational equity, while it documents the perils, disappointments, and advantages of professional cohesion. The book's documentation of leadership in particularly challenging settings fills a void in literature for teacher preparation and educational leadership programs.

Aus von Deutschland besetzten Ländern gelangten Gehirnproben von Kriegsgefangenen, Zwangsarbeitern und hingerichteten Personen an die Kaiser-Wilhelm-Institute für Hirnforschung und für Psychiatrie.Die vorliegende Untersuchung richtet sich auf die Herkunft von Hirnproben aus den Kaiser-Wilhelm-Instituten für Hirnforschung und für Psychiatrie, die von Zivilisten in von Deutschland besetzten Ländern, Kriegsgefangenen, Zwangsarbeitern, die in deutscher Gefangenschaft starben, sowie von hingerichteten Personen stammten. Die Autoren haben es sich zur Aufgabe gemacht, die Namen der Opfer zu ermitteln, ihre Lebensgeschichten zu rekonstruieren und die Geschichte der Verwendung der Proben nachzuzeichnen. Dabei konnten sie Proben aus den Gehirnen von insgesamt 314 Opfern identifizieren, die auf unethische Weise gewonnen wurden. Die Proben stammen aus verschiedenen, vor allem von Julius Hallervorden und Hugo Spatz angelegten Sammlungen, ursprünglich u. a. im Kaiser-Wilhelm-Institut für Hirnforschung in Berlin-Buch, der Deutschen Forschungsanstalt für Psychiatrie in München und Forschungseinrichtungen von Luftwaffe und Wehrmacht. Die Proben wurden in der Nachkriegszeit aufbewahrt, bis viele von ihnen 1990 in einem anonymen Massengrab beigesetzt wurden. Noch in jüngerer Zeit wurden jedoch weitere Proben identifiziert. Die militärischen Opfer konnten erst durch die Autoren während ihrer Forschungen zu dem vorliegenden Band ermittelt werden.Der Band erscheint vollständig in englischer Sprache.

Eine 'öffentliche Biographie' Arthur Schnitzlers im Spiegel der Zeit - in bislang unerforschten Interviews, Meinungen und Protesten.Arthur Schnitzler gab angeblich keine Interviews, vermied es, Umfragen zu beantworten und äußerte sich nicht öffentlich.

The classic investigation - inspiration for a major HBO series - revealing the true horror of Europe's racist colonial past in Africa. Over a quarter of a century ago historian Sven Lindqvist set out across Central Africa. Obsessed with a single line from Conrad's The Heart of Darkness - Kurtz's injunction to 'Exterminate All the Brutes' - he combined an account of his experiences with a profound historical investigation, revealing precisely what Europe's imperial powers had exacted on Africa's peoples over the course of the preceding two centuries. Shocking, humane, imaginative and deeply moral, Exterminate All the Brutes stands as timeless classic of historical investigation. It is essential reading for anybody seeking to face up to the brutal, genocidal, racist history on which Europe built its wealth. 'Powerful' Sunday Times 'Exemplary' Independent 'Important' Guardian

Walter Fuchs (1902-1979) war einer der profiliertesten deutschen Sinologen, der dank seiner langen Tätigkeit in China und der Mandschurei auch über hervorragende Kenntnisse des Japanischen und des Mandschu verfügte.Die im dritten und letzten Teil der Fuchs gewidmeten Gesamtdarstellung veröffentlichten Briefwechsel zeichnen nicht nur sein Leben und seine Arbeit in den Jahren 1958-1979 nach, sondern belegen auch, dass Fuchs in sehr starkem Maße an der Entwicklung der ostasiatischen Studien in Deutschland beteiligt war; dabei ist besonders seine Rolle bei der Betreuung der Zeitschrift Oriens extremus zu erwähnen, die federführend von seinem Freund, Kollegen und Korrespondenzpartner Wolfgang Franke (1912-2007) herausgegeben wurde. Die Briefe an Martin Gimm (geb. 1930), Fuchs' Schüler und Nachfolger auf dem Kölner Lehrstuhl, geben Einblicke in sein Leben auf seinem Sommersitz in Brixen und zeigen ihn als Anreger und Ermutiger. Zugleich verweisen sie auf seine laufenden Arbeiten, auf Reisen und Kontakte. Ein zusätzlicher Dokumententeil belegt Fuchs' ursprüngliche Berufung auf den neu errichteten Münchener Lehrstuhl und das Auswahlverfahren für die Nachfolge von Erich Haenisch (1880-1966). Der Band ist durchweg annotiert; chinesische Zeichen sowie Transkriptionen sind beigefügt. Ein Namenregister erleichtert den Zugang.

'Intelligent and Effective Direction' examines the Fisk University Race Relations Institute from 1944 to 1969. Conceptualized and organized by African American sociologist Charles S. Johnson, this Institute brought together an interracial group of scholars, social, civic, and religious leaders, activists, and others to battle for civil rights. Scholarship and dialogue were the primary methods of protest and activism. 'Intelligent and Effective Direction' bridges what we know about the efforts of those moving away from a Jim Crow segregated South with the efforts of those moving toward the famed civil rights movement.

This book is about Keats' odes of the spring and autumn 1819. The author employs close reading to shed new light on the development, through struggle within the images, of each ode and the ode sequence. She shows how, as an outcome of this struggle, Keats achieves a new understanding of poetry's possibilities, of the dialectical nature of life and the historical process.

The 'Leugner des Völkerrechts' (deniers of international law), primarily scholars in the field of law, philosophy, and political science, challenge the legal binding force of international law. In the 19th century, the majority of international law scholars criticize them and designate them as 'Leugner des Völkerrechts'. The primary critique focuses on their narrow concept of law and of the state, which is based on Hegelian, power political, or chauvinistic justifications. The discourse surrounding the arguments of deniers such as Adolf Lasson, John Austin, and Philipp Zorn consolidates the theoretical fundaments of international law and contributes to the institutionalization of international law scholarship in the 19th century.

This book, based on new research in the Spanish archives, is the first full-length account of the activities of the linajudos, genealogists whose occupation was to scrutinize ancestries and to extort money from candidates for offices and honors who, in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Spain, had to prove that they were not of converso (that is, Jewish) descent. In Seville many of the patrician families that dominated the transatlantic trade and governed the city in this period had intermarried with the conversos or were themselves of similar origin. This book views the linajudo phenomenon as part of the wider problem of the assimilation of the conversos into sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Spanish society.

Jan Herman Insinger was a well-known character in the history of Egyptology, mainly because his name has been linked forever with a famous demotic wisdom papyrus now in Leiden. Although he is mentioned by many of his contemporaries, biographical notes on Insinger rarely surpass a few lines and can be quite inaccurate. However, a lot of information can be gathered from the Archives of the National Museum of Antiquities in Leiden and other sources, both published and unpublished ones. These documents enable us to sketch a brief biography of this fascinating figure. Former studies by the present author dealt with Insinger¿s activities as a photographer and a traveller. The present volume focuses on Insinger¿s activities as an art collector. Insinger can be regarded as a maecenas of the Leiden Museum. Thus, a study of this aspect of his manifold interests is mainly relevant for the information it provides on the growth of the Egyptian treasures in Leiden.
