October 2010Orte jüdischen Lebens
Ein Spaziergang durch Berlins Mitte
by Unda Hörner
Faszination Berlin-Mitte. Blanke Fassaden, bunte Shoppingwelt, dazwischen immer wieder Spuren des Vergangenen. Das Magnus-Haus am Kupfergraben, die Synagoge in der Oranienburger, die jüdische Knabenschule in der Großen Hamburger Straße. Jüdisches Leben prägte lange das Kulturleben, den wissenschaftlichen Diskurs, die Presselandschaft, die Welt der Finanzen und des Konsums, aber ebenso das Berlin der armen Leute, wie es sich im Scheunenviertel fand. Begleitet von Heinrich Heine, Rahel Varnhagen, Kurt Tucholsky, Walter Benjamin, Vicki Baum, Irmgard Keun, Gershom Scholem und vielen anderen erkundet Unda Hörner auf literarischen Streifzügen jüdische Häuser und Geschichte(n). Die Spaziergänge machen anschaulich, wie tief die jüdische Bevölkerung das Gesicht der Stadt geprägt hat.

December 2004Philosophie der Kunst
Vorlesung von 1826
by Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, Annemarie Gethmann-Siefert, Jeong-Im Kwon, Karsten Berr
»Nachschriften sind freilich trübe Quellen« - dieses Heideggerdiktum kann gegen die studentischen Nachschriften zu Hegels Ästhetikvorlesungen nicht geltend gemacht werden. Anders als die von Hotho »geschönte« Ästhetik erweisen sie sich als höchst authentisch und bieten einen aufschlußreichen Einblick in Hegels Gedanken zur Rolle der Kunst in der Kulturgeschichte. Unter den vier Berliner Vorlesungen zur Philosophie der Kunst, die Hegel zwischen 1820 und 1829 gehalten hat, ist besonders jene von 1826 brisant. In ausführlicher Auseinandersetzung mit exemplarischen Kunstwerken stellt er hier der sogenannten »These vom Ende der Kunst« die Behauptung von der Unersetzlichkeit der Künste entgegen. Mit der Mitschrift des Studenten von der Pfordten wird eine vollständige Überlieferung dieser Vorlesung nun erstmals publiziert.

FictionViolets
by Kyung Sook Shin
A NEGLECTED YOUNG WOMAN experiences the violence and isolation of contemporary Korean society. Han Kang’s The Vegetarian meets Elfriede Jelinek’s The Piano Teacher. The book is a close observation of what would otherwise be “a story soon to forget” of a young woman everyone forgot, including her own parents. There are countless moments of casual and not-so-casual moments of violence: a pregnant stray cat rejected by everyone, including the flower shop’s owner who tries throwing it away but relents when the cat crawls back; the landlord’s daughter yearning for a piano, and once obtained, her father destroying it in a fit of rage, prompting his daughter to finally call the police on him; the repeated image of the lush, green dropwort field, the site of San’s happiest memory, but also the beginning of her saddest. These are interspersed with many closely observed details such as a descriptive passage on Venus-fly-traps, a scene with a caged dog, and a plethora of place-names in northern Seoul where the author still lives to this day. The prose is unhurried, concise, and above all, intimate. The original title is taken from the flower violets as well as the aural similarity to the English word “violence”; in other words, the title is English to begin with. Violets was published six years before The Vegetarian. “Kyung-Sook Shin’s novel bears none of the anxiousness or cunning of a narrator eager to grab hold of a reader. She takes her time, pays attention to things that seem insignificant but beautiful, and eventually binds a spell around the reader until the very end. What seems like a series of random thoughts always ends up as a setup to a greater effect down the line, and one marvels at her sense of structure and design. I liken the charm of Shin’s writing to the consolations of a lush plant.” —Park Wanseo, bestselling novelist

May 2023Justice After War
Jus Post Bellum in the 21st Century
by David Chiwon Kwon, Kenneth R. Himes, OFM
Justice After War is aimed especially to both undergraduate and graduate students, as well as the general audience who want to understand the significance of a recent development within the just war tradition, namely, the increasing attention given to the category of jus post bellum (postwar justice and peace). While examining the interrelated challenges of moral and social norms in both political and legal domains, as well as church practices, this work proposes an innovative methodology for linking theology, ethics, and social science so that the ideal and the real can inform each other in the ethics of war and peacebuilding. The main task of this project, then, is to identify what the author views as three key themes of jus post bellum, and three practices that are essential to implementing jus post bellum immediately after a war: just policing, just punishment, and just political participation. David Kwon endeavors to challenge the view of those who suggest that reconciliation, mainly political reconciliation, is the foremost ambition of jus post bellum. Instead, he attempts to justify the proposition that achieving just policing, just punishment, and just political participation are essential to building a just peace, a peace in which the fundamental characteristic must be human security. It thus demonstrates that human security is an oft-neglected theme in the recent discourse of moral theologians and that a more balanced understanding of jus post bellum will direct attention to the elements composing human security in a postwar context.

THOUGH THE BOOK LOOSELY FOLLOWS THE STRUCTURE OF A DETECTIVE NOVEL, finding the perpetrator is not the main objective here. Instead, the work explores grief and trauma, and asks important questions about guilt, retribution, and the meaning of death and life. In the summer of the 2002, when Korea is abuzzwith the Korea-Japan FIFA World Cup, a beautiful nineteen-year-old girl named Hae-on is murdered in what would become known as the High School Beauty Murder. There are two suspects: rich boy Shin Jeongjun, whose car Hae-on was last seen in, and fried chicken delivery boy Han Manu, who witnesses Hae-on in the passenger seat of Jeongjun’s car just a few hours before her death. The novel begins with a scene in which Hae-on’s younger sister imagines a police detective interrogating Han Manu.However, Jeongjun’s alibi turns out to be solid, and no evidence can be pinned on Manu, the identity of the murderer is never discovered. The case remains unsolved for years, throwing the people surrounding the event into turmoil, especially Da-on, who is unable to move on with her life. In the course of the next seventeen years, she undergoes plastic surgery to look like her sister and even gives her own daughter a name very similar to her sister’s, ultimately setting out to discover the truth of what happened, all in hopes that she would recover some ofwhatshehaslost.

Teaching, Language & ReferenceFebruary 2010Korean Grammar in Use_Beginning (English ver.)
by Ahn Jean-myung, Lee Kyung-ah, Han Hoo-young
This book is the culmination of educational know-how and systematic grammar organization acquired by the three authors from their experience actually teaching Korean to foreigners in the classroom. In focusing strictly on Korean grammar, this series represents a departure from most current integrated teaching materials, allowing foreign learners to more easily concentrate on grammar in their study of Korean. The authors have included real dialogues and illustrations to make the study of Korean more interesting, especially for those students who have heretofore felt Koran grammar to be difficult. Further, this series equally serves as a general Korean grammar reference that can be used by Korean language instructors both in Korea and abroad who regularly experience the difficulty of teaching Korean grammar first-hand. • Collects the introductory grammar points normally taught in Levels 1 and 2 at most universities affiliated and private language institutes. • Makes it easy for learners to locate those grammar patterns they find the most confusing by providing comparisons of patterns similar in meaning and usage. This way, learners can not only clarify the differences between similar patterns, but also study how they are used differently depending on the situation. • Lets the learner confirm the usage of target grammar points by illustrating how they are used in real conversation. The examples presented are not simply sentences constructed for the purpose of illustrating grammar, but rather examples of how the grammar points are actually used in real life. • Includes special sections on particularly tricky grammar points to allow learners to acquire a more accurate and natural-sounding command of Korean. Further, by presenting a variety of grammatical patterns along with both practice exercises and graphic illustrations, learners can approach the study of Korean grammar with renewed interest.
