Komplexitäten

Warum wir erst anfangen, die Welt zu verstehen

by Sandra Mitchell, Sebastian Vogel

Eine neue Herausforderung für die Wissenschaft: Die Welt ist komplex, also sollten es auch unsere Vorstellungen von ihr sein. Viele Disziplinen der Geistes- und Sozialwissenschaften haben sich lange an diese Maxime gehalten. Die Naturwissenschaften aber haben traditionell nach einfachen, universalen und zeitlosen Gesetzen gesucht. Damit wollten sie die "schwirrende Verwirrung" ("blooming, buzzing confusion", William James) erklären, die die ungeschulten Sinne dem Geist präsentieren. Aber dieses Unternehmen ist gescheitert. Sandra Mitchell zeigt, daß uns die Komplexität der lebendigen Welt dazu zwingt, unsere Denkmodelle radikal zu revidieren und nach einer adäquateren Erkenntnislehre zu suchen. Dazu hat die Systemtheorie Vorgaben geliefert, die seit einigen Jahren von der Komplexitätstheorie spezifiziert worden sind. Komplexe Systeme – wie die Welt, in der wir leben – zeichnen sich unter anderem durch Emergenz und Relationen aus: Was auf der Makroebene sichtbar wird, ist erst durch Wechselwirkungen zwischen den Elementen des Systems zu erklären. Wohin zum Beispiel ein Vogelschwarm fliegt, hängt nicht nur von den Individuen ab, sondern vor allem von Feedbackprozessen zwischen ihnen. Mitchell fordert deshalb: Wer die Welt verstehen will, muß auch verstehen lernen, warum das Ganze tatsächlich mehr ist als die Summe der einzelnen Teile.

J. M. W. Turner

The making of a modern artist

by Sam Smiles, Alan Rutter

Alone of his contemporaries, J.M.W. Turner is commonly held to have prefigured modern painting, as signalled in the existence of The Turner Prize for contemporary art. Our celebration of his achievement is very different to what Victorian critics made of his art. This book shows how Turner was reinvented to become the artist we recognise today. On Turner's death in 1851 he was already known as an adventurous, even baffling, painter. But when the Court of Chancery decreed that the contents of his studio should be given to the nation, another side of his art was revealed that effected a wholescale change in his reputation. This book acts as a guide to the reactions of art writers and curators from the 1850s to the 1960s as they attempted to come to terms with his work. It documents how Turner was interpreted and how his work was displayed in Britain, in Europe and in North America, concentrating on the ways in which his artistic identity was manipulated by art writers, by curators at the Tate and by designers of exhibitions for the British Council and other bodies. ;

Scottishness and Irishness in New Zealand since 1840

by Angela McCarthy, Andrew Thompson, John M. MacKenzie

This book examines the distinctive aspects that insiders and outsiders perceived as characteristic of Irish and Scottish ethnic identities in New Zealand. When, how, and why did Irish and Scots identify themselves and others in ethnic terms? What characteristics did the Irish and the Scots attribute to themselves and what traits did others assign to them? Did these traits change over time and if so how? Contemporary interest surrounding issues of ethnic identities is vibrant. In countries such as New Zealand, descendants of European settlers are seeking their ethnic origins, spurred on in part by factors such as an ongoing interest in indigenous genealogies, the burgeoning appeal of family history societies, and the booming financial benefits of marketing ethnicities abroad. This fascinating book will appeal to scholars and students of the history of empire and the construction of identity in settler communities, as well as those interested in the history of New Zealand.

Voting for a Scottish government

The Scottish Parliament election of 2007

by Robert Johns, David Denver, James Mitchell, Charles Pattie

In 2007 Labour lost an election in Scotland for the first time in half a century and the SNP went on to form the Scottish Government. This book explains why. Based on a unique three-wave survey of the Scottish electorate, it can truly be described as the first full-scale Scottish national election study. As such, it is notable not only for its innovative methodology but also because theories and concepts are taken from the recent electoral studies literature and applied to Scotland. Other questions investigated include the impact of campaigning and of the party leaders (at both Scottish and British level) on the election outcome. In addition, for the first time in the UK context, a special study is made of the causes and consequences of rejected ballots - the large number of which at this election caused a media outcry. This book will be required reading for anyone interested in, involved in, teaching or studying Scottish politics. It will also be an important text for those concerned with UK politics in general and attract particular interest among students of elections, both in the UK and internationally. ;

Politics and peace in Northern Ireland

Political parties and the implementation of the 1998 Agreement

by David Mitchell

Politics and peace in Northern Ireland analyses the complex and contradictory process of implementing the Good Friday Agreement. Using the lens of security dilemma theory, it begins with an original overview of the conflict, the Agreement and post-1998 politics. The book then explores post-Agreement Northern Ireland through the eyes of each of the four main political parties, showing how they tried to shape the course of peace implementation, and how implementation, in turn, shaped the fates and fortunes of the parties. Drawing on extensive original research, this book explains the promise and limits of the Agreement. It shows how and why the two sides' mutual insecurities repeatedly derailed peace implementation, and reflects on the likely direction of parties and politics in the future. This clearly written and up-to-date book will be of interest to scholars and students of recent Northern Irish history, ethnic conflict and peace-making. ;

Stalin und der Genozid

by Kurt Baudisch, Norman M. Naimark

Unter Stalin wurden in den 30er Jahren mehr als eine Million Sowjetbürger umgebracht, Millionen andere starben durch Zwangsarbeit, Deportation, Hungersnot, Lagerhaft oder während Folterverhören. Diese Verbrechen galten zu Zeiten des Kalten Krieges nicht als Genozid. Die hohen Ideale für die Stalin angeblich gekämpft hatte, verhinderten eine Auseinandersetzung. Zudem galt diese Verfolgung der eigenen Bevölkerung als Teil der Kriegsvorbereitung; der Ausgang des Zweiten Weltkriegs schien dieses Vorgehen zu rechtfertigen. Auch nach internationalem Recht galt der Mord an sozialen oder politischen Minderheiten nicht als Genozid. Norman Naimark erweitert die Kriterien für den Genozid – die UN-Konventionen von 1948 waren unter großem sowjetischen Einfluss entstanden – und kann so darlegen, daß der von Stalin befohlene Massenmord ein Genozid war. Er erzählt die erschütternden Geschichten der systematischen Vernichtung. Er betrachtet die Unterwerfung und Auslöschung der sogenannten Kulaken, den Holodomor, also die Ermordung durch Hunger in der Ukraine, die Unterdrückung und Ermordung von »Volksfeinden« und die Große Säuberung zwischen 1936 und 1938. Und er kommt zu dem Schluß, daß der Genozid – ähnlich wie der Holocaust – nicht ohne die Figur des charismatischen Diktators möglich war.

Helicobacter pylori in the 21st Century

by Steffen Backert, Stefan Bereswill, Tom Blanchard, Pelayo Correa, Richard Ferrero, Kwong-Ming Fock, Sara Lindén, Hoda Malaty, Barry Marshall, Francis Megraud, Anthony P Moran, John Nedrud, Karen Robinson, Maria Kaparakis. Edited by Philip Sutton, Hazel Mitchell.

Helicobacter pylori is a globally significant pathogen that infects half of the population of the world. Its recognition enabled the development of new therapeutic and preventative strategies for serious health conditions such as gastric cancer, of which it is the major causative agent. Providing a broad overview of the current understanding of this pathogen and emphasising its world health impacts, this book explores a range of topics including virulence factors, vaccine development and obstacles, epidemiology, antibiotic resistance and the role of Nod receptors, with a foreword by Barry Marshall, the Nobel Laureate and co-discoverer of H. pylori. It is an essential resource for researchers, students and medics in infectious and Helicobacter-associated diseases.

Devolution in the UK

by James Mitchell

This book explains devolution today in terms of the evolution of past structures of government in the component parts of the United Kingdom. It highlights the importance of the English dimension and the role that England's territorial politics played in constitutional debates. Similarities and differences between how the components of the UK were governed are described. It argues that the UK should be understood now, even more than pre-devolution, as a state of distinct unions, each with its own deeply rooted past and trajectory. Using previously unpublished primary material, as well as a wealth of secondary work, the book offers a comprehensive account of the territorial constitution of the UK from the early twentieth century through to the operation of the new devolved system of government. ;

Gender and knowledge

by Joan Bellamy, Anne Laurence, Gill Perry, Susan Williams

Brings together the varied artistic, critical and cultural productions by women scholars, critics and artists between 1790-1900, many of whom are little known in the canonical histories of the period. Questions the concepts of 'scholarship', 'criticism' and 'artist' across the different disciplines. Women discussed include authors (Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, Sydney Morgan and Anna Jameson) actresses ( Elizabeth Siddons, Dorothy Jordan, and Mary Robinson) critics ( Margaret Oliphant and Mary Cowden Clarke) historians (Agnes Strickland, Lucy Aikin, Mary Anne Everett Green, Elizabeth Cooper and Lucy Toulmin Smith) as well as the writers and readers of Women's magazines, educationalists and translators. Makes a significant and original contribution to the development of gender studies by extending the frontiers of existing knowledge and research. ;
