    A Hypertextual Commentary

    by Bartosz Adamczewski ...
    Series Book 16 - European Studies in Theology, Philosophy and History of Religions
    This monograph presents an entirely new solution to the synoptic problem. It demonstrates that the Acts of the Apostles functioned as the structure-giving hypotext for the Gospel of Matthew.

This strictly sequential, hypertextual dependence on Acts ... Read more

    Edited by Michaela Holdenried, Barbara Korte, Carlotta von Maltzan ...
    Series Book 128 - Jahrbuch fuer Internationale Germanistik - Reihe A
    Kriminalliteratur bietet seit längerem ein Forum für die Behandlung schon ‚klassischer‘ postkolonialer Themen. So lassen sich die ProtagonistInnen vielfach als hybride Subjekte beschreiben, und die Suche nach ‚historischer Wahrheit‘ bedarf einer anderen Substruktion als der einfachen Antithetik von Gut und Böse. Darüber hinaus sind die im Verschwinden begriffenen ehemals klar getrennten kolonialen ... Read more

It argues that a sense of crisis in the modern foundation of selfhood explains the heightened interest in ... Read more

  • Trading Women, Traded Women

    A Historical Scrutiny of Gendered Trading

    Edited by Gönül Bakay, Mihaela Mudure ...
