Maja Zehfuss'' book offers a fundamental critique of constructivism, focusing on the work of Wendt, Onuf and Kratochwil. Using Germany''s shift towards participation in international military operations as an illustration, she demonstrates why each version of constructivism fails in its own project and comes apart on the basis of its own assumptions. Inspired by Derridean thought, this book highlights the political consequences of constructivist representations of reality. Each critique concludes that constructivist notions of key concepts are impossible, and that this is not merely a question of theoretical inconsistency, but of politics. The book is premised on the notion that the ''empirical'' and the ''theoretical'' are less separate than is acknowledged in international relations, and must be read as intertwined. Zehfuss examines the scholars'' role in international relations, worrying that, by looking to constructivism as the future, they will be severely curtailing their ability to act responsibly in this area.

A parody of a travel guidebook written during the Siege of Sarajevo from 1992-1993.

"Ich musste mich über den Regen ärgern." Ich habe viele verschiedene Namen, aber keiner scheint mein eigener zu sein. Ich sehe die Menschen, aber höre sie nicht. Und wenn ich sie höre, dann versteh ich sie nicht. Meine Hoffnung ist gestorben, nur noch ein längst vergangener Traum. Ich verachte die Menschen, aber beneide sie zugleich. Und dann frage ich mich: Ist es denn wirklich einfacher ich selbst zu sein, anstelle von jemand anderem? Bin denn ich dieser Gott, der das Schicksal plant? Die Frage nach der eigenen Identität, der Menschlichkeit und der Bedeutung des Lebens.

New study of the Christian Topography, a sixth-century illustrated treatise, and its intellectual milieu.

This is an abridged reprint in gender-neutral language of a 19th century translation of "Ethica Ordine Geometrico Demonstrata" by Benedict de Spinoza (Baruch Spinoza, 1632-1677) first published in 1677. The 1883 translation by William Hale White (1831-1913), was rendered gender-neutral by Dr. Maja Trochimczyk. This second volume of Moonrise Press''s Classic Wisdom Book Series, consists of five parts: I. Of God; II. Of The Nature and Origin of the Mind, III. Of The Origin and Nature of the Affects; IV. Of Human Bondage, or of the Strength of the Affects. And V. Of The Power of the Intellect, or Of Human Liberty. Born in a Jewish-Portuguese family in Amsterdam in 1621, at 23, Spinoza was expelled from the Jewish community and is buried in a Christian church in The Hague (he died at 44, in 1677). He was neither Jewish nor Christian in his views, and, from today''s perspective may be called one of the Classics of Awakened Wisdom, aware of the intrinsic unity of the Universe with God, the Source of all.

Tracing cultural representations of queerness in the Dominican Republic from the 1950s to the present In this book, Maja Horn examines the evolution of queer Dominican literary and cultural production from the 1950s to the present, challenging simplistic developmental narratives of LGBTIQ+ progress. Through an analysis of literature, theater, and activism, Horn traces how same-sex desire and gender nonconformity have been negotiated both tacitly and overtly across the years. Beginning with early forerunners, Horn looks at literary representations in works by Hilma Contreras and Pedro René Contín Aybar during the 1930–1961 dictatorship of Rafael Trujillo. Horn goes on to explore the emergence of queer nightlife spaces during the Balaguer years through novels by Rita Indiana Hernández and Rey Emmanuel Andújar. Horn discusses how the work of playwright Waddys Jáquez challenges reductive mainstream representations of trans subjects and HIV/AIDS in the new democratic era. The book concludes with a discussion of groundbreaking recent texts that have expanded portrayals beyond Santo Domingo and introduced new perspectives. Throughout Queer Genealogies in Dominican Literature and Culture, Horn shows how class, race, and gender have shaped access to public space and strategies for negotiating sexuality. Horn also reveals the coexistence of different ways of expressing queer identities. Recognizing the influence of coloniality and narratives of identity in the global North, Horn celebrates the shifting geographies and multiplicities of a uniquely creole Dominican queerness.

After her previous book, Rethinking Our World, eloquently untangled the complex world we live in, Maja Göpel delivers the encouragement and the tools we need to go into action and build the world we want to live in. Humanity is undergoing a massive process of transformation, and the way we live will change fundamentally, because things we have taken for granted about the environment, the economy, politics, society, and technology are crumbling. In We Can Do Better, Maja Göpel explains how we can understand such complex developments and use this knowledge to achieve a better world. There have always been great transformations in history, triggered by humans -- thus, we can also shape them. Our window to the future is as open as never before. With this attitude, structural change is not an imposition, but an opportunity. It is time that we -- each of us individually, but also society as a whole -- allowed ourselves to think anew, to dream, and to ask two related, radical questions: Who do we want to be, and how do we want to live?
