Overview: Die hohe Minne und die höfische Liebe bestimmen unser Bild der Liebeslyrik, das durch die Textauswahl der Philologen sowie ihre Urteile entscheidend geprägt wurde. Die 27 Beiträge dieses Bandes behandeln - mit romanistischem Schwerpunkt - Gedichte aus acht europäischen Literaturen und neun Jahrhunderten. Sie zeigen, daß bereits im Mittelalter die irdischen Aspekte der Liebe bis hin zur Gewalttätigkeit dargestellt wurden, und dies nicht nur in Sammlungen wie den Carmina Burana, sondern auch in den Gesängen der Troubadours. Die Anbetung einer idealen Geliebten ist nur eine mögliche Hal

Overview: Thema dieses Buches ist eine breite Darstellung des Gebietes Arbeitsmarktökonomik, wie sie bisher in der deutschsprachigen Literatur kaum zu finden ist. Es analysiert den Stand der wissenschaftlichen Diskussion in den 90er Jahren, wobei ein besonderes Gewicht auf eine Verzahnung von theoretischen mit empirischen Aspekten gelegt wird. So beginnen die meisten Kapitel mit einer Diskussion wichtiger Fakten, die erklärungsbedürftig erscheinen. Es folgt dann eine Übersicht über neuere theoretische Erklärungsansätze. Abschließend werden Resultate ökonometrischer Tests der in den vorangegang

Overview: Christoph Willibald Gluck komponierte in den 70er Jahren des 18. Jahrhunderts ein fast hundert Jahre altes Libretto nahezu unverändert. Anders als in der italienischen Oper, wo Mehrfachvertonungen die Regel waren, sind bei »Armide« Quinaults Text und Lullys ursprüngliche Musik untrennbar miteinander verbunden. Glucks künstlerisches Interesse an Quinaults Text muss vor dem Horizont des spezifisch französischen Theaterlebens verstanden werden: der diskursive Umgang mit »Armide« führt von den dramatischen Parodien der Pariser Sprechbühnen bis hin zu vielfältigen Ausprägungen musikdramat

Overview: This book deals with adsorption and catalysis on the surface of transition elements and their compounds, many of which are in­ teresting because of their particular electronic structure. The authors have worked through a vast body of experimental evi­ dence on the structure and properties of surfaces of transition metals and relevant oxides. Consideration is given mostly to simple (as opposed to mixed) oxides of transition elements, to common metals and to the adsorption of simple gases. A great deal of attention is paid to the nature of active surface sites responsible for chemisorp
