Papyri Copticae Magicae: Coptic Magical Texts, Volume 1: Formularies (de Gruyter, 2023) offers an accessible repository of edited Coptic magical texts. The book is a careful and thorough edition and philological study of thirty-seven distinct Coptic manuscripts, covering a wide range of magical applications—from love spells, to curses, to exorcisms, and healing invocations. The volume makes available a rich set of evidence of everyday concerns of love, justice, strife, and health in late ancient Egypt to readers outside of the niche community of scholars of Coptic language. You will discover ancient ritual texts including instructions for healing bowels, a formula for sleep, a spell request for a good singing voice, and a love spell for attracting the attention of a crush in a one-sided romance. You will also find a curious assemblage of divine names and a list of material objects necessary for offerings that suggest need for ingredients like sweat of a bee, foam from the mouth of a horse, frog blood, incense, or different types of plant matter. For scholars interested in history of late ancient Egypt, history of Christianities, Manichaeism, Coptic language, esoterica and magic in late antiquity, material culture, or manuscripts this monograph will provide an important resource for the study and expansion of the vocabularies, grammars, and material practices of ancient rituals.  Korshi Dosoo is is currently co-Principal Investigator of the “Corpus of Coptic Magical Formularies (CoMaF)” project based at the Julius Maximilian University Würzburg. Dr. Lydia Bremer-McCollum teaches Coptic at the University of Notre Dame and religious studies at Spelman College. Learn more about your ad choices.

Een miljoen betaalbare woningen bouwen, de huren verlagen én beleggers weren van de woningmarkt. Dat zijn de speerpunten van het nieuwe woonplan van de SP: Wonen zonder winst. Deze aflevering in het kort: ☑️ SP-fractievoorzitter Jimmy Dijk over het woonplan 'Wonen zonder winst' ☑️ Hoe betaalbaar zijn die plannen eigenlijk en wie gaat ze betalen? ☑️ Sociaal geograaf Floor Milikowski over bouwen in de buitenwijken van Nederland In deze aflevering van Vastgoed Gezocht praten we vijftig minuten met SP-fractievoorzitter Jimmy Dijk. Zijn partij lanceerde eerder dit jaar een radicaal woonplan, waarbij de focus komt te liggen op de bouw van sociale huurwoningen. Hij legt uit waarom zijn partij vindt dat wonen geen verdienmodel mag zijn. Ook bespreken we met hem het verbod op verkoop van sociale huurwoningen en de wens om grondprijzen te reguleren. Maarten de Gruyter is kritisch op de plannen en legt de politicus dan ook het vuur aan de schenen. Luister ook: als er weer een crisis komt | Opinie Maar hoe zit het eigenlijk met de financiële haalbaarheid van al die plannen? Volgens Dijk is het een kwestie van politieke keuzes durven maken. De staatsschuld mag, als het aan hem ligt, best iets oplopen. Daarnaast wil de SP fors snoeien in de hypotheekrenteaftrek, een regeling die volgens hem nu vooral hogere inkomens bevoordeelt. Het afbouwen daarvan levert volgens Dijk jaarlijks zo'n 5 tot 6 miljard euro op. Verder wil hij de leegstand strakker aanpakken, bijvoorbeeld door eigenaren te verplichten panden sneller in gebruik te nemen of te verhuren. "We kunnen het ons simpelweg niet permitteren dat panden in tijden van woningnood ongebruikt blijven staan," aldus Dijk. Luister ook: Ook woningcorporaties spelen voor sinterklaas | Opinie Volgens sociaal geograaf Floor Milikowski ligt de sleutel tot het oplossen van de woningnood in de ruime buitenwijken van Nederland. In haar boek Contouren van een nieuw land betoogt ze dat daar plek is voor honderdduizenden nieuwe huizen, mits we kiezen voor compacte, betaalbare huizen die dichter op elkaar staan. Dat is niet alleen goed voor de woningvoorraad, stelt ze, maar ook voor de samenleving als geheel. Door mensen dichter bij elkaar te laten wonen, groeit het onderlinge contact en wordt het sociale weefsel versterkt.

Vastgoedbeheer is veel meer dan het oplossen van lekkages en het innen van de huur. Het draait om het managen van complexe belangen van huurders, eigenaren en overheden. Deze aflevering in het kort: ☑️ Wat vastgoedbeheer écht inhoudt, van onderhoud tot huurdersgeluk ☑️ Hoe FRIS technologie inzet voor efficiënt en voorspellend beheer ☑️ Waarom AI de beste stagiair wordt van elke vastgoedbeheerder In deze aflevering gaan we in gesprek met Hans Peter Fris, directeur van FRIS Real People. Zijn organisatie beheert 7.000 woningen en zo'n 4 miljoen vierkante meters aan commercieel vastgoed. We bespreken wat een vastgoedbeheerder precies doet, waarom goed beheer essentieel is voor rendement én hoe je voorkomt dat je als eigenaar achter de feiten aanloopt. Fris deelt praktijkvoorbeelden van wat er misgaat als eigenaren het beheer zelf proberen te doen en legt uit waar de echte meerwaarde zit: van strategisch advies tot het snel oplossen van huurdersvragen. Ook woningcorporaties spelen voor sinterklaas | Opinie Daarnaast kijken we vooruit. Want ook vastgoedbeheer digitaliseert in rap tempo. Dankzij slimme meters, onderhoudssoftware en huurdersapps wordt steeds meer werk geautomatiseerd. Met behulp van AI kunnen storingen voorspeld worden vóórdat ze plaatsvinden en worden energieprestaties actief gemonitord. We bespreken welke technologie FRIS nu al inzet, hoe huurders steeds meer verwachten én wat de invloed is van wetgeving zoals de Wet Goed Verhuurderschap en ESG-richtlijnen. Volgens Fris zal de vastgoedbeheerder van de toekomst niet alleen technisch onderlegd moeten zijn, maar ook duurzaam, data-gedreven én mensgericht moeten werken. Een WOZ-cap voor de yuppen | Opinie Maarten de Gruyter haalt uit naar staatssecretaris Tjebbe van Oostenbruggen. Die gaf onlangs een interview aan het FD. Particuliere vastgoedbeleggers krijgen geen verlichting in de voorjaarsnota. Vanaf 2026 stijgt hun belastingdruk, zonder mogelijkheid kosten af te trekken in de tegenbewijsregeling. De overheid geeft prioriteit aan andere doelen. Volgens de staatssecretaris hebben deze beleggers al aanzienlijk vermogen en komt belasting op werkelijk rendement sneller dichterbij als men nu doorzet.

Quran Commentary and the Biblical Turn (de Gruyter, 2024) examines the exegetical relationship between the Quran and the Bible in Islamic intellectual history. As the two have been called "intertwined scriptures" due to the Quran's frequent invocation of biblical narratives and figures, a question is raised: what is the history of Muslims' exegetical engagement with the biblical text? Through a survey of 179 Quran commentaries, the book establishes itself with foundations in the longitudinal history of the Bible in Quranic exegesis. From that point, the book offers detailed case studies and historical contextualisation of the history of the use of the Biblical text in Quranic commentaries, which culminated in a “Biblical turn” in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries. This Biblical Turn, which had global influences and impacts, did not only generate new Muslim views of the Bible but even new interpretations of the Quran itself. Quran Commentary and the Biblical Turn makes interventions in several fields, including Quranic Studies and Biblical reception studies, as well as sub-fields of Islamic Studies focusing on tafsir and Islam in modernity. The book was awarded the BRAIS–De Gruyter Prize in the Study of Islam and the Muslim World. Samuel Ross is an Associate Professor at Texas Christian University in Dallas, Texas, USA.

In mei viert Amsterdam een uniek muziekfestival. Wat past beter bij 750 Jaar Amsterdam dan de uitvoering van heel het werk van Gustav Mahler door de beroemdste orkesten, dirigenten en solisten uit heel de wereld? Mahler, de Weense componist van het 'Fin de Siècle' die Amsterdam als de tweede stad van zijn muziek beschouwde. Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger praten met Thomas de Jonker, musicoloog van het Concertgebouw, over dit festival, Mahlers muziek, zijn leven in turbulente politieke tijden, in een periode van culturele bloei en over zijn unieke band met Nederland en het Concertgebouw.***Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt door het Concertgebouw en met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken. Word ook vriend van de show! Als vriend word je uitgenodigd om op zaterdag 17 mei met Jaap en PG in het Mahler Paviljoen op het Museumplein in Amsterdam te genieten van Mahlers Negende symfonie!Heb je belangstelling om in onze podcast te adverteren of ons te sponsoren? Zend een mailtje naar adverteren@dagennacht.nl en wij zoeken contact.Op sommige podcast-apps kun je niet alles lezen. De complete tekst plus linkjes en een overzicht van al onze eerdere afleveringen vind je hier***Gustav Mahler (1860-1911) was de beroemdste musicus van zijn tijd. Nog voor hij 40 werd, had de stokoude keizer Frans Jozef hem benoemd tot chef van de Hofopera in Wenen. Dát was al zeer politiek, want in Oostenrijk-Hongarije hadden joden maar net volledige burgerrechten, dus deze benoeming op de top van de kunsten was een sensatie. Door die artistieke roem en komeetachtige carrière was Mahler doelwit van heel wat vuige kritieken. De jaren tussen 1890 en 1914 leken wel onbezorgd, feestelijk in cultuur en vele contacten, maar de gouden jaren na het Weens Congres van 1815 waren voorbij. Het Habsburgse Rijk wankelde, oorlogen langs de randen braken uit en donderwolken aan de horizon trokken samen.Mahlers werk klinkt daarom soms bijna profetisch. Zijn Wenen bloeide, maar in de krotten en stegen leefden sloebers als Adolf Hitler en Josip Broz Tito en ondergedoken Russen als Vladimir Lenin, Leon Trotski en Jozef Stalin. De komende eeuw begon in de sloppen van deze stad.Gustav Mahler was inmiddels een wereldburger van de eerste golven van de globalisering. Hij werd chef van de Opera en de New York Philharmonic, dirigeerde van Ljubljana en Boston tot Rotterdam. Stoomschepen, treinen en zelfs de auto voerden hem over heel de wereld. Amsterdam werd zijn 'tweede stad'. In 1903, 1904, 1906 en 1909 kwam hij zijn eigen symfonieën dirigeren. Zo ontstond een unieke, organische relatie met de musici van het Concertgebouw en dirigent Willem Mengelberg. Samen schreven zij muziekgeschiedenis. Het belette de erg veeleisende 'divo' Mahler overigens niet gedurig te klagen over de regen, de kille wind en het lawaai van de havenstad. Na Mahlers dood in 1911 werd Amsterdam het cultureel centrum waar men hem bleef eren en spelen. In 1920 - meteen na de Vrede van Versailles - bracht de stad de kunstenaars van heel de wereld bijeen voor het eerste 'Mahler Feest'. Het vredesappel tijdens dat festival bewees nog eens hoezeer men politiek en menselijk snakte naar verzoening in een vreedzaam Europa. Dat ontstond pas na de jaren waarin Mahler door de Nazi's verboden was en hij in de vergetelheid leek te raken. Maar niet in Amsterdam en evenmin in New York. Dirigenten als Bernard Haitink en Leonard Bernstein zorgden voor een renaissance van Mahlers liederen en symfonieën. De nieuwe welvaart, de technologie van de elpee en de televisie én de filmkunst maakten Mahler een begrip voor velen. Hij werd de componist van een modern, verzoend Europa. In Amsterdam komt nu in 2025 in het festival de wereld bijeen. Hopelijk ook nu voor een moment en appèl tot vrede en verzoening. Toporkesten uit Chicago, Boedapest, Tokyo en Berlijn, jonge maestro's als Klaus Mäkelä en fameuze dirigenten als Kirill Petrenko komen Mahler dirigeren. ***Verder luisterenIn MAHLER!

Just weeks after October 7, 2023—the worst moment in Jewish history since the Holocaust—Pastor Jeff Durbin of Apologia Studios released a video discussing the massacre. In it, he argued that Jewish people who do not believe in Jesus are not truly Jewish and are not God's chosen people. Instead, he claimed that Christians are the true Jews—that Christians are Israel. Through this video, Pastor Jeff Durbin fuels and spreads antisemitism. The video you are about to watch is a Messianic Jewish response, correcting the gross errors Pastor Jeff makes and offering a careful exegesis of the biblical passages he misuses to support his claims.0:00 – Responding to Pastor Jeff Durbin taking advantage of October 7th to promote replacement theology7:00 – Showing why Pastor Jeff Durbin's interpretation of Romans 2.27–29 is incorrect and exegeting the text 26:53 – Responding to Pastor Jeff Durbin's antisemitic comments29:43 – Showing why Pastor Jeff Durbin's interpretation of Romans 9:6 is incorrect and exegeting the text46:24 – What God says about Israel in the Tanakh 47:31 – What Paul says about Israel Original clip You can also watch on our YouTube channelFollow us on Social Media: FacebookInstagramIf you are looking for a way to support us and gain early access to our content, you can become a monthly supporter on Subscribestar We also have: PayPal___________________________ Resources:David J.

Wat doet een grote vastgoedbelegger als APG in een tijd van economische onzekerheid, strengere regelgeving en klimaatrisico's? Deze aflevering in het kort:☑️ Robert-Jan Foortse ziet de VS nog niet als een rode vlag☑️ Klimaatrisico's spelen steeds grotere rol in vastgoedstrategie van APG☑️ Adviesgroep STOER wil hoger beroep bij omgevingsvergunning schrappenRobert-Jan Foortse is hoofd Europees vastgoed bij APG, dat de pensioengelden van ABP beheert. Hij geeft in deze aflevering een exclusief inkijkje in het vastgoedbeleid van Nederlands grootste pensioenbelegger. In hun pot zit 500 miljard euro aan beheerd vermogen, zo’n 10 procent daarvan zit in stenen. Wat is de strategie, welke vastgoedsectoren zijn interessant en wat moet er gebeuren om Nederland aantrekkelijk te houden voor institutionele beleggers? Foortse legt uit hoe het fonds omgaat met stijgende rentes, onvoorspelbaar beleid en strengere duurzaamheidsregels.

Wat doet een grote vastgoedbelegger als APG in een tijd van economische onzekerheid, strengere regelgeving en klimaatrisico's? Deze aflevering in het kort: ☑️ Robert-Jan Foortse ziet de VS nog niet als een rode vlag ☑️ Klimaatrisico's spelen steeds grotere rol in vastgoedstrategie van APG ☑️ Adviesgroep STOER wil hoger beroep bij omgevingsvergunning schrappen Robert-Jan Foortse is hoofd Europees vastgoed bij APG, dat de pensioengelden van ABP beheert. Hij geeft in deze aflevering een exclusief inkijkje in het vastgoedbeleid van Nederlands grootste pensioenbelegger. In hun pot zit 500 miljard euro aan beheerd vermogen, zo'n 10 procent daarvan zit in stenen. Wat is de strategie, welke vastgoedsectoren zijn interessant en wat moet er gebeuren om Nederland aantrekkelijk te houden voor institutionele beleggers? Foortse legt uit hoe het fonds omgaat met stijgende rentes, onvoorspelbaar beleid en strengere duurzaamheidsregels. Luister ook | Bas van Veggel: een duizendpoot in het vastgoed Natuurlijk gaat het ook over de Nederlandse woningmarkt. Pensioenfonds ABP trekt de komende jaren 5 miljard euro uit voor de bouw van betaalbare huurwoningen, met huurprijzen tussen de 650 en 950 euro per maand. Met deze investeringen wil ABP naar eigen zeggen nadrukkelijk een maatschappelijke rol vervullen. Een deel van dat geld is al belegd, via projecten met Bouwinvest en Greystar. Foortse laat in het gesprek doorschemeren dat er snel nieuwe projecten bekendgemaakt worden. Luister ook | Huib Boissevain: een uitgesproken vastgoedman Maarten de Gruyter is voorzichtig positief over het rapport van de adviesgroep STOER. Dat spaart heilige huisjes niet in hun conceptrapport over het versnellen van de woningbouw. Zo moet er straks geen hoger beroep meer mogelijk zijn bij omgevingsvergunningen voor woningbouw. Ook pleit de adviesgroep voor bouwen langs het IJsselmeer en in de uiterwaarden.

Het kan best aantrekkelijk zijn om als Nederlandse vastgoedbelegger de grens over te steken richting België. Maar wat zijn de verschillen met Nederland, hoe zit het met de regels en hoe stabiel zijn investeringen in bedrijfspanden?Deze aflevering in het kort:☑️ Een blik op de vastgoedmarkt in België☑️ De status aparte van de kantorenmarkt in Brussel☑️ Sjoemelen met energielabels, het gebeurt nog steedsDe Belgische vastgoedmarkt lijkt in veel opzichten op die in Nederlands. Toch zijn er zeker ook een paar opvallende verschillen. Die gaan bijvoorbeeld over de duur van huurcontracten in de kantorenmarkt van Brussel, de wijze waarop energielabels worden toegekend en de snelheid van vergunningstrajecten. Te gast is Kim Verdonck, head of research bij CBRE België. Hij legt uit waarom de Brusselse kantorenmarkt zo interessant is voor beleggers. De Europese instanties zorgen voor een continue vraag naar hoogwaardig vastgoed, waarbij het niet ongebruikelijk is om huurcontracten van 20 jaar of langer af te sluiten.

Een energielabel zegt veel over de duurzaamheid van je woning of bedrijfspand. Maar wat is het écht waard? En hoe kom je van label C naar A? Deze aflevering in het kort:☑️ Maarten den Ouden van Ecocert vertelt over certificeringstraject ☑️ Met deze quick wins krijg je je pand van energielabel C naar A☑️ The Economist: trage vergunningstrajecten zorgen voor huurstijgingenEnergielabels: ooit begonnen als een vrijblijvend advies, nu een bepalende factor in de waarde en verkoopbaarheid van vastgoed. Sinds 2021 moeten huiseigenaren en vastgoedeigenaren verplicht een officiële inspectie laten doen om hun energielabel te krijgen. Voor kantoren geldt zelfs dat ze zonder minimaal label C eigenlijk niet meer gebruikt mogen worden. Daar wordt door de autoriteiten inmiddels ook op gecontroleerd. Maar wat betekent zo’n label in de praktijk? En hoe maak je van een energieverslindend pand een duurzaam gebouw?

Luister ook | Frank van Gool ontwikkelt woonconcepten voor arbeidsimmigranten In deze aflevering van Vastgoed Gezocht duiken we in de wereld van energielabels met Maarten den Ouden van Ecocert. We bespreken hoe een inspectie werkt, welke maatregelen het meeste opleveren en hoeveel een verbetering van energielabel E naar A gemiddeld kost. Ook kijken we naar de invloed op de waarde van vastgoed. Want is een pand zonder goed label straks nog wel verkoopbaar? Daarnaast gaat het over zogeheten Paris Proof-certificaten. Die gaan een stap verder dan energielabels en meten niet alleen hoe energiezuinig een gebouw is, maar ook hoeveel energie het daadwerkelijk verbruikt. Met als doel? Vastgoed klaarstomen voor een toekomst waarin gebouwen nauwelijks nog CO2 uitstoten en volledig in lijn zijn met de Parijsdoelen van 2050. Luister ook | Astrid Schlüter (Vesteda) wil 10-jarenplan voor woningmarkt Maarten de Gruyter haalt een opiniërend artikel uit The Economist aan. In veel westerse landen schieten huurprijzen omhoog, ondanks pogingen van overheden om huurders te beschermen. Beleidsmaatregelen zoals huurplafonds en extra belastingen op verhuurders pakken vaak averechts uit: verhuurders trekken zich terug uit de markt, waardoor het aanbod verder daalt. De kern van het probleem is een structureel woningtekort, veroorzaakt door jarenlange bouwbeperkingen. Alleen door meer te bouwen kan de druk op de huurmarkt echt worden verlicht.

De rode draad door alle wilde manoeuvres van Donald Trump is zijn ambitie om de politieke verhoudingen op wereldschaal fundamenteel te veranderen. Hij wil daartoe een deal sluiten met Vladimir Poetin en dan samen met Xi Jinping. En daarbij zijn Volodymyr Zelensky en de Europese Unie alleen maar lastige obstakels. Maar hoe doe je zoiets? Hoe krijg je de 'grootmachten' bij elkaar en kom je tot een succesvol machtsevenwicht? Daarvan kent de wereldgeschiedenis een zeldzaam en uniek voorbeeld. Het Congres van Wenen in 1814-1815 bracht de allergrootste heersers in Europa en wereldwijd bijeen. Keizers, koningen, de tsaar en hun diplomaten streken neer langs de Donau en palaverden. Een leerzaam en inspirerend relaas. Met tal van waarschuwingen uit de finesses van het spel om de macht.‘Wenen' mondde uit in een groot verdrag dat de kaart van Europa geheel opnieuw tekende. Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger vertellen het verhaal van maanden van onderhandelen, spioneren, sjoemelen en ‘the art of the deal'. ***Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken.

De complete tekst plus linkjes en een overzicht van al onze eerdere afleveringen vind je hier***We weten heel veel over Wenen van toen. Dankzij brieven, dagboeken, spionageverslagen en memoires van even kleurrijke als briljante mensen die zich met het machtsspel bemoeiden. Een van hen was een Belgische prins die de lieveling was van de Weense salons, iedereen kende en met ze roddelde: Charles-Joseph de Ligne. Een ander de Pruisische geleerde en ambassadeur Wilhelm von Humboldt, bevriend met Goethe. En de sluwe ras-opportunist Charles-Maurice de Talleyrand, die evengoed koningen en keizers diende als de revolutie.Zo kunnen we op de voet volgen hoe de sleutelfiguur van dit Congres - gastheer Klemens von Metternich - alles zo organiseerde, dat hij de spin in het web was en bleef. Hij zorgde dat het eindresultaat een groot succes werd. Zijn slotverklaring en het verdrag zorgden decennia voor rust en vrede. Daar zijn dan ook belangrijke lessen uit te trekken voor de grootmachten van 2025. Heeft Trump een idee van zo'n wereldwijd machtsevenwicht of zit hij vast in denken over vazallen en het uitruilen van territoria, van Panama tot Groenland en van de Donbas tot Taiwan?Hebben Poetin en Trump basisbeginselen voor een wereldwijd akkoord die leidt tot een nieuwe balans? Metternich had dat en warempel lijkt Xi Jinping nog het meest op hem. Het Congres van Wenen was niet alleen hard werken aan politiek en diplomatie. Het was het ultieme society event. Gekroonde hoofden, kunstenaars, spionnen, charmante dames en journalisten werden door Metternich en het frivole hofleven van Wenen vermaakt met eindeloos entertainment. Bals, opera, banketten, jachtpartijen en salons volgden elkaar maandenlang op. “Hoe loopt het congres? Het congres loopt niet, het danst”, klonk het lachend. Zelfs Beethoven pikte er een graantje van mee! Door een doordachte en innovatieve, rationele organisatie van de onderhandelingen lukte het Metternich om alle neuzen dezelfde kant op te krijgen. De tsaar, het Britse Empire en Habsburg kregen wat zij ambieerden. Pruisen werd een nieuwe grootmacht en ondanks Napoleons nederlaag werd Frankrijk als belangrijk land in ere hersteld. Niemand van de grootmachten bleef gefrustreerd en wraakzuchtig achter. De slachtoffers van destijds zijn verbluffend actueel: Polen, Moldavië, de Balten, Oekraïne, Italië en vooruitstrevende Duitse idealisten. Zo valt er voor ons in 2025 van alles te leren nu de grote wereldspelers als in Wenen toen een nieuw machtsevenwicht lijken te willen opleggen. Heeft de EU haar ambities en rol op orde hierbij? Wie is de Metternich van nu?***Deze aflevering bevat enkele muziekfragmenten: Wellington's Victory (Beethoven / Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, Herbert von Karajan), Hoffnungsstrahlen (Joseph Lanner), Der Glorreiche Augenblick (Beethoven)***Verder luisteren487 - Donder en bliksem in het Oval Office484 - Hoe Trump chaos veroorzaakt en de Europeanen in elkaars armen drijft476 – Trump II en de gevolgen voor Europa en de NAVO458 - De gedroomde nieuwe wereldorde van Poetin en Xi455 - De bufferstaat als historische - maar ongewenste - oplossing voor Oekraïne447 - Als Trump wint staat Europa er alleen voor373 - Nederland en België: de scheiding die niemand wilde350 - 100 jaar Henry Kissinger339 – De geopolitiek van de 19e eeuw is terug.

Mass violence comes not only from states, but also from people. By analyzing mass violence as social interaction through survivor accounts and other sources, Conditions of Violence (de Gruyter, 2024) presents understudied agents, aims and practices of direct violence and ways of action of those under persecution. Sound history – examining the noises of mass violence and persecution – is particularly telling about such practices. This volume shows that violence can become socially hegemonic, and some people claim a freedom to kill as a political right. To scrutinize indirect violence, which is often imperialist in character and claims many victims, the book proposes the concept of conditions of violence. These conditions are produced by definable groups of actors and foreseeably harm definable groups (which differs from the anonymous and static ‘structural violence'). This is exemplified in a case study concerning famines in World War II and another on COVID-19 as mass violence. Less global in character, other case studies in this volume deal with Rwanda, Bangladesh/East Pakistan and the Soviet Union. Learn more about your ad choices.

The main objective of Re-Constructing Grassroots Holocaust Memory: The Case of the North Caucasus (de Gruyter, 2020) is to locate the grass roots initiatives of remembering the Holocaust victims in a particular region of Russia which has a very diverse ethnic structure and little presence of Jews at the same time. It aims to find out how such individual initiatives correspond to the official Russian hero-orientated concept of remembering the Second World war with almost no attention to the memory of war victims, including Holocaust victims. North Caucasus became the last address of thousands of Soviet Jews, both evacuees and locals. While there was almost no attention paid to the Holocaust victims in the official Soviet propaganda in the postwar period, local activists and historians together with the members of Jewish communities preserved Holocaust memory by installing small obelisks at the killing sites, writing novels and making documentaries, teaching about the Holocaust at schools and making small thematic exhibitions in the local and school museums. Individual types of grass roots activities in the region on remembering Holocaust victims are analyzed in each chapter of the book. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of The Sound of Economics, host Rebecca Christie speaks with Bruegel's first Director and co-founder, Jean Pisani-Ferry, Senior fellow and co-founder Nicolas Véron, and Board member Caroline de Gruyter on the occasion of the think tank's 20th anniversary. Their conversation takes us on a journey that spans fateful lunches and parliamentary dramas, choosing a location and funding model, and key inspirations from across the pond. Aside from being the story of Bruegel, it doubles as a story of Europe: how have different parts of the continent worked together over the two decades? What was the gap that Bruegel filled? And finally, did you know that one works for a think-tank if one wishes to change the world? 

Reading with an "I" to the Heavens: Looking at the Qumran Hodayot Through the Lens of Visionary Traditions (de Gruyter, 2018) examines the collection of prayers known as the Qumran Hodayot (= Thanksgiving Hymns) in light of ancient visionary traditions, new developments in neuropsychology, and post-structuralist understandings of the embodied subject. The thesis of this book is that the ritualized reading of reports describing visionary experiences written in the first person "I" had the potential to create within the ancient reader the subjectivity of a visionary which can then predispose him to have a religious experience. This study examines how references to the body and the strategic arousal of emotions could have functioned within a practice of performative reading to engender a religious experience of ascent. In so doing, this book offers new interdisciplinary insights into meditative ritual reading as a religious practice for transformation in antiquity. Learn more about your ad choices.

The thesis of this book is that the ritualized reading of reports describing visionary experiences written in the first person "I" had the potential to create within the ancient reader the subjectivity of a visionary which can then predispose him to have a religious experience. This study examines how references to the body and the strategic arousal of emotions could have functioned within a practice of performative reading to engender a religious experience of ascent. In so doing, this book offers new interdisciplinary insights into meditative ritual reading as a religious practice for transformation in antiquity. Learn more about your ad choices.

Born in the 13th century, Pietro d'Abano was referred to variously as “the Great Lombard,” “the Conciliator,” and, in at least one case, a “great necromancer.” This scholar and physician faced various troubles relating to heresy or sorcery, and stories swirl around him of calling on demons or magically making spent coins return to his purse.

Is research on antisemitism even necessary in countries with a relatively small Jewish population? Absolutely, as Antisemitism in the North: History and State of Research (de Gruyter, 2019) shows. Compared to other countries, research on antisemitism in the Nordic countries (Denmark, the Faroe Islands, Finland, Greenland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden) is marginalized at an institutional and staffing level, especially as far as antisemitism beyond German fascism, the Second World War, and the Holocaust is concerned. Furthermore, compared to scholarship on other prejudices and minority groups, issues concerning Jews and anti-Jewish stereotypes remain relatively underresearched in Scandinavia - even though antisemitic stereotypes have been present and flourishing in the North ever since the arrival of Christianity, and long before the arrival of the first Jewish communities.This volume aims to help bring the study of antisemitism to the fore, from the medieval period to the present day. Contributors from all the Nordic countries describe the status of as well as the challenges and desiderata for the study of antisemitism in their respective countries.

Was migration to Germany a blessing or a curse? The main argument of this book is that the Greek state conceived labor migration as a traineeship into Europeanization with its shiny varnish of progress. Jumping on a fully packed train to West Germany meant leaving the past behind. However, the tensed Cold War realities left no space for illusions; specters of the Nazi past and the Greek Civil War still haunted them all.  Adopting a transnational approach, The Greek Gastarbeiter in the Federal Republic of Germany (1960–1974) (de Gruyter, 2024) retargets attention to the sending state by exploring how the Greek Gastarbeiter's welfare was intrinsically connected with their homeland through its exercise of long-distance nationalism. Apart from its fresh take in postwar migration, the book also addresses methodological challenges in creative ways. The narrative alternates between the macro- and the micro-level, including subnational and transnational actors and integrating a diverse set of primary sources and voices. Avoiding the trap of exceptionalism, it contextualizes the Greek case in the Mediterranean and Southeast European experience. Learn more about your ad choices.

At this point of the scholarly debate on the nature of Second Temple pseudepigraphy, one may ask why another look at the problem is needed.  Second Temple Pseudepigraphy: A Cross-cultural Comparison of Apocalyptic Texts and Related Jewish Literature (de Gruyter, 2014) is not the definitive answer to that problem but it proposes different paths - or better still, a two-fold path: on one hand to understand Second Temple pseudepigraphy as a mystical experience and on the other, for lack of a suitable ancient example, to compare it to modern-day automatic writing.

As the predominantly Muslim Chinese who claim ancestry from Persian and Arabic-speaking regions in Central Asia and the Middle East, the Hui people in China have received relatively little attention in anthropology. According to the 2010 census, the Hui are the largest Muslim group in China and its third largest ethnic minority with a total population of 10.6 million. Due to their extensive geographic distribution and long-term acculturation by the atheist Han majority, the question of Hui identity is rarely raised in humanities and social sciences both in China and abroad. This book examines Hui iden­tity in the rural area of Ningxia Hui Auto­no­mous Region, while taking account of China's rapid modernization and industrialization in the twenty-first century. Speci­fi­cally, it focuses on the massive internal migra­tion of rural popu­la­tions, which has been playing an essen­tial role in the socioe­co­nomic life of Chinese peasants in the past few decades. Based on field data collected between 2011 and 2013 among the Jahriyya Hui, Wang seeks to clarify the impacts of migra­tion on the Hui's ethno­re­li­gious iden­tity by inves­ti­ga­ting three key issues: the Hui's purity concept, fasting and their belief in the after­world. In rela­tion to these refe­rence points, reli­gious rituals, inclu­ding comme­mo­ra­tion cere­mo­nies and the Ramadan fast as well as their chan­ging forms and values, are illu­s­t­rated and analyzed. Muslim Chinese - the Hui in Rural Ningxia (de Gruyter, 2019) shows that Islam conti­nues to play a crucial part in drawing boun­da­ries and main­tai­ning iden­tity for the Hui both before and after migra­tion. However, popu­la­tion move­ments in Ningxia are resul­ting in increased inter­ac­tions between Hui and Han popu­la­tions as well as between Hui from diverse “menhuan” (Sufi paths). Conse­qu­ently, the Hui's unique “menhuan” aware­ness is being weakened and their purity concept subjected to many queries, doubts, ambi­gui­ties, and tensions. Xiaoming Wang currently works as a librarian in the East Asia Department of the Berlin State Library. She holds a PhD in Social and Cultural Anthropology from the Free University of Berlin. Her research interests include the anthropology of Islam, identity and migration, power structure, and rural transformation. Yadong Li is a PhD student in anthropology at Tulane University. His research interests lie at the intersection of economic anthropology, medical anthropology, hope studies, and the anthropology of borders and frontiers.
