Auf den völkerrechtswidrigen Angriffskrieg Russlands gegen die Ukraine reagierte die NATO mit einer Stärkung ihrer Ostflanke, Schweden und Finnland streben seither die NATO-Mitgliedschaft an. Die NATO-Ostflanke deckt nach der Erweiterungsphase des Bündnisses bis 2009 einen Großteil Ostmitteleuropas ab. Diese Region war in der europäischen Geschichte sowohl umkämpftes Grenzgebiet als auch ein Raum des friedvollen Zusammenlebens unterschiedlicher Nationalitäten und Religionen. Derzeit ist die Ukraine Austragungsort einer Systemkonfrontation zwischen dem freiheitlich-demokratischen und einem autokratisch-imperialen Politik- und Gesellschaftsmodell. Der Krieg hat Auswirkungen auf Europa und die Welt, sein Ausgang wird das Miteinander der Staatengemeinschaft verändern. Der »Wegweiser zur Geschichte. Ukraine und Ostmitteleuropa« versammelt Beiträge von renommierten Expertinnen und Experten aus verschiedenen wissenschaftlichen Fachdisziplinen, die über die Geschichte und die Gesellschaften der Region schreiben, aber ebenso die aktuellen Konfliktlinien und Herausforderungen analysieren. Die Texte sind allgemeinverständlich formuliert. Der Band ist mit zahlreichen Bildern, Karten, Grafiken und einem umfassenden Anhang ausgestattet.

Shaftesbury, Akenside, and the Discipline of the Imagination
Eighteenth-Century Stoic Poetics: Shaftesbury, Akenside, and the Discipline of the Imagination offers a fresh perspective on the eighteenth-century poetics of Lord Shaftesbury and Mark Akenside. This book traces the two authors’ debt to Roman Stoic spiritual exercises and early modern conceptions of the care of the self, which informs their view of the poetic imagination as a bundle of techniques designed to manage impressions, cultivate right images in the mind and rectify judgement. Alexandra Bacalu traces the roots of this articulation in early modern writings on the imagination, as well as in Restoration and Augustan debates on wit, exploring the fruitful tension between ideas of imaginative enthusiasm and imaginative regulation that it provokes.

The book presents a new history of the Slavs during the Middle Ages. Based on in-depth source analysis, it describes on the one hand the ‘factual’ historical structures that can be discerned behind the phenomenon of ‘the Slavs’ – from the ‘early Slavic’ population groups and their first formations of power in the 7th to 9th centuries, through the Slavic-speaking realms and nationes of the 10th to 12th centuries, to the late medieval societies of the 13th to 15th centuries. On the other hand, it analyzes external Byzantine, Latin and Arabic perceptions, as well as ‘Slavic’ self-imagery, with which the Slavs have been conceptualized or imagined as a cultural construct since the 6th century. Mühle further demonstrates that these images were already being instrumentalized for historical-political purposes in various contexts and for different purposes in the Middle Ages.

Studies of Mimesis and Materials in Nature, Art and Science
Mimesis or imitation comes in many forms, from animal and plant mimicry to artistic copies ‘from life’. This book offers eighteen essays addressing mimesis from diverse perspectives. From the recreation of galaxies to Iron Age torcs, from counterfeit dragons to modern waxworks, each chapter explores facets of material mimesis from prehistory to the present day. The Matter of Mimesis invites readers to compare practices of imitating, faking, and synthesising materials and objects in nature, art and science, raising questions about skills, techniques and politics of making that transcend historical and disciplinary boundaries and inform both our past and future worlds.
