On 26 August 1914 the worldfamous university library in the Belgian town of Louvain was looted and destroyed by German troops The international community reacted in horror and the behavior of the Germans at Louvain came to be seen as the beginning of a different style of war without the rules that had governed military conflict up to that pointa more total war in which enemy civilians and their entire culture were now legitimate targets As awardwinning historian Alan Kramer shows in this gripping and insightful volume the destruction at Louvain was simply one symbolic moment in a vast wave of cultural destruction and mass killing that swept across the map of Europe at the time of the First World War Using a wide range of examples and striking eyewitness accounts from England France Germany and elsewhere Kramer brings home the reality of the Great War painting a picture of an entire continent plunging into a chilling new world of mass mobilization total warfare and the celebration of nationalist or ethnic violenceoften directed expressly at the enemys civilian population Kramer examines the psychological impact of trench warfare addresses the question of German atrocities were the Germans particularly barbaric or was savage behavior common on all sides and offers a disturbing summation of the wars impact on European culture From the Western Front to the Balkans from Italy to the war in the East the First World War was the most apocalyptic the world had ever known This book tells you how and why the civilized nations of Europe descended into unprecedented orgy of destruction

A former student and collaborator of Jacques Derrida Catherine Malabou has generated worldwide acclaim for her progressive rethinking of postmodern Derridean critique Building on her notion of plasticity a term she originally borrowed from Hegels Phenomenology of Spirit and adapted to a reading of Hegels own work Malabou transforms our understanding of the political and the religious revealing the malleable nature of these concepts and their openness to positive reinvention In French to describe something as plastic is to recognize both its flexibility and its explosivenessits capacity not only to receive and give form but to annihilate it as well After defining plasticity in terms of its active embodiments Malabou applies the notion to the work of Hegel Heidegger Levinas LeviStrauss Freud and Derrida recasting their writing as a process of change rather than mediation between dialectic and deconstruction Malabou contrasts plasticity against the graphic element of Derridas work and the notion of trace in Derrida and Levinas arguing that plasticity refers to sculptural forms that accommodate or express a trace She then expands this analysis to the realms of politics and religion claiming against Derrida that the event of justice and democracy is not fixed but susceptible to human action

The massive intentional destruction of cultural heritage during the 19921995 Bosnian War targeting a historically diverse identity provoked global condemnation and became a seminal marker in the discourse on cultural heritage It prompted an urgent reassessment of how cultural property could be protected in times of conflict and led to a more definitive recognition in international humanitarian law that destruction of a peoples cultural heritage is an aspect of genocide Yet surprisingly little has been published on the subject This wideranging book provides the first comprehensive overview and critical analysis of the destruction of BosniaHerzegovinas cultural heritage and its farreaching impact Scrutinizing the responses of the international community during the war including bodies like UNESCO and the Council of Europe the volume also analyses how after the conflict ended external agendas impinged on heritage reconstruction to the detriment of the broader peace process and refugee return It assesses implementation of Annex 8 of the Dayton Peace Agreement a unique attempt to address the devastation to Bosnias cultural heritage and examines the treatment of war crimes involving cultural property at the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia ICTY With numerous case studies and plentiful illustrations this important volume considers questions which have moved to the foreground with the inclusion of cultural heritage preservation in discussions of the right to culture in human rights discourse and as a vital element of postconflict and development aid

Assured Destruction Building the Ballistic Missile Culture of the US Air Force documents the rapid development of nuclear ballistic missiles in the United States and their equally swift demise after the Cuban Missile Crisis revealing how these drastic changes negatively influenced both the Air Force and the missile community The book contends that the creation of nuclear ballistic missiles threatened both the dominance of the United States during an intensifying Cold War and the strategic airpower mission of the newly created Air Force The response to these threats led to political infighting and interservice squabbles to control the new weapon before the Soviets could build their own version and annihilate the United States This highly politicized and hurried process prevented the successful longterm operational integration of ballistic missiles into the US Air Force The book reveals the strenuous efforts required to create and prepare a missile arsenal before the Cuban Missile Crisis which occurred only five years after the first missile was declared operational It uses the personal recollections of former missileers and the professional military education theses they wrote to highlight some of the concerns that have faced the missileers who operated and worked on these powerful weapons from 1957 to the present The highlight of the book however is the personal stories of the missileers who served during the missile crisis revealing the efforts that they went to in order to prepare these unique and untried weapons for what many thought might become the third world war

How does the regime of Slobodan Milošević and his Socialist Party of Serbia SPS remain in power Since legitimizing its power in 1990 the SPS has never received a majority of votes in an election Furthermore it has been defeated in three military conflicts produced more than 500000 refugees presided over the most extreme hyperinflation in modern times and failed in its original defining promise to see all Serbs in one state In The Culture of Power in Serbia Eric Gordy explores how the Milošević government prolongs its tenure despite failures and setbacks that would have brought down most other regimes Gordy finds the answer in everyday life The Milošević regime has largely succeeded in making alternatives to its rule unavailable By controlling key aspects of daily life including politics media and popular music it has undermined opposition by closing off alternative voices The result is an atmosphere in which people feel they have lost control over their private life and cultural environmentNevertheless Gordy finds reason to be optimistic about the longterm prospects for Serbia The regimes forays into popular music have largely failed and it has had only partial success in controlling the media suggesting that the present strategy will not work forever In Gordys judgment the Milošević regime has a limited futureThe Culture of Power in Serbia provides fresh perspective for readers interested in contemporary Eastern Europe in the strategies and tactics of authoritarian regimes in the sociology of everyday life and in the political potential of culture
