Post-Imperial Brecht
Post-Imperial Brecht challenges prevailing views of Brecht's theatre and politics. Most political theatre critics place Brecht between West and East in the Cold War, and a few have recently explored Brecht's impact as a Northern writer on the global South. Loren Kruger is the first to argue that Brecht's impact as a political dramatist, director and theoretical writer makes full sense only when seen in a post-imperial framework that links the East/West axis between US capitalism and Soviet communism with the North/South axis of postcolonial resistance to imperialism. This framework highlights Brecht's arguments with theorists like Benjamin, Bloch, and Lukacs. It also shows surprising connections between socialist East Germany, where Brecht's 1950s projects impressed the emerging Heiner Müller, and apartheid-era South Africa, where his work appeared on the apartheid as well as anti-apartheid stage.

Discovering the Ice Ages
Tobias Krüger explores the discovery of the Ice Ages, how the idea was received, and what further research it stimulated. The approach used in Discovering the Ice Ages is uniquely sweeping. The contemporary debates on the subject are compared from an international perspective. Krüger retraces the arguments advanced from the middle of the 18th century to the threshold of the 20th century. The positions held by defenders of the glacial theory as well as those by its most important opponents are set within the context of the then current understanding of geology. In an interdisciplinary overview Krüger then focuses on the impetus gained from early ice-age research. The most prominent examples worth mentioning are the discovery of trace gases and the greenhouse effect.

Strauss-Krüger Correspondence
This book presents the first full translation of the correspondence of Leo Strauss and Gerhard Krüger, showing for each the development of key and influential ideas, along with seven interpretative essays by leading Strauss scholars. During the early to mid-1930’s, Leo Strauss carried on an intense, and sometimes deeply personal, correspondence with one of the leading intellectual lights among Heidegger’s circle of recent students and younger associates. A fellow traveler in the effort to “return to Plato” and reject neo-Kantian conventions of the day, Krüger was also a serious student of Rudolf Bultmann and the neo-orthodox movement in which Strauss also took an early interest. During the most intense years of their correspondence, each underwent significant intellectual development: in Krüger’s case, through a penetrating series of studies of Kant and Descartes, respectively, ultimately leading to Krüger’s conversion to Catholicism; and, in Strauss’s case, through the complex stages of what he subsequently called his “reorientation,” involving what he for the first time calls “political philosophy.” Readers interested in tracing the development of Strauss’s thoughts regarding a theological alternative that he found helpfully challenging—if not ultimately compelling—will find this correspondence to be an accessible point of entry.

Mehrsprachigkeit Tuerkischer Schueler in Frankreich Und Deutschland
Der Band widmet sich der Mehrsprachigkeit und den sprachlichen Repertoires von Schülern mit Migrationshintergrund in Frankreich und Deutschland. Im ersten Teil dieser soziolinguistischen Studie steht die Analyse von Interviews mit Grundschülern türkischer Herkunft in den Regionen zu beiden Seiten des Oberrheins im Mittelpunkt. Dabei richtet sich die Aufmerksamkeit sowohl auf den Ausbau der sprachlichen Repertoires in der Schule als auch auf den Sprachkontakt in Schule und Familie. Ausgehend von diesen Analysen liegt im zweiten Teil der Studie der Akzent auf der Schulsprachenpolitik in Frankreich und Deutschland, die einen Erklärungsrahmen dafür darstellt, wie sich bei den Kindern türkischer Herkunft der Ausbau des sprachlichen Repertoires entwickelt. So wird der Frage nachgegangen, welche Stellung den Sprachen und welche Räume der Mehrsprachigkeit in Schulprogrammen, in offiziellen Texten zum muttersprachlichen Unterricht und in innovativen Projekten in der grenzüberschreitenden Untersuchungsregion zugewiesen werden.
