Holmes and the Ripper: Versus Narratives (Crime Files)
by Lucyna Krawczyk-ŻywkoIn versus narratives Sherlock Holmes is fighting or otherwise engaging Jack the Ripper. These texts pit the archetypal detective against the archetypal serial killer using established formulas as well as new narrative and generic features, a combination that results in their mass appeal among authors and audiences alike. The list of primary sources includes 120 titles – novels, short stories, plays, fanfiction, ‘Grand Game’ studies, movies, TV shows, video and board games – which are treated as a dialogic network of transfictional and transmedial texts. This study unpacks the versus corpus in its media dispersal by analysing Sherlock Holmes and Jack the Ripper as serial figures and culture-texts emphasising the increasing palimpsestousness of the former and the multidirectional polymorphousness of the latter, and tracing the overlapping Doylean culture-text. It also addresses the way character constellations are represented, negotiated, and fed back into the versus network, contextualising them within the coalescence of fact and fiction, Gothic and crime fiction frames, cultural memory, neo-Victorianism, and biofiction.
Textbook of Tinnitus
by Winfried Schlee Berthold Langguth Dirk De Ridder Sven Vanneste Tobias Kleinjung Aage R. MøllerThis book describes the theoretical background of the different forms of tinnitus (ringing in the ears) and detailed knowledge of state-of-the-art treatments of tinnitus. Tinnitus has many forms, and the severity ranges widely from being non-problematic to severely affecting a person’s daily life. How loud the tinnitus is perceived does not directly relate to how much it distresses the patient. Thus, even tinnitus very close to the hearing threshold can be a disabling symptom. It can reduce the quality of life by generating anxiety and concentration problems, impairing the ability to do intellectual work, making it difficult to sleep, causing depression and sometimes even leading to suicide.Textbook of Tinnitus has filled a void by providing a comprehensive overview about the different forms of tinnitus, their pathophysiology and their treatment. However, since the publication of the first edition of the Textbook of Tinnitus in 2011, tinnitus research has dramaticallyevolved. In view of the substantial increase in knowledge, most chapters in this second edition are newly written and a few original chapters have had major updates. This edition has nine sections, covering the basics of tinnitus, the neurobiology of tinnitus, pathophysiological models, animal research, diagnosis and assessment, various forms of management and treatment, and finally, a look at the future of tinnitus and tinnitus research. The book will be of great interest to otolaryngologists, neurologists, psychiatrists, neurosurgeons, primary care clinicians, audiologists and psychologists, and students. Because of its organization and its extensive subject index, Textbook of Tinnitus, Second Edition can also serve as a reference for clinicians who do not treat tinnitus patients routinely.

The Genesis and Transformation of Social Consciousness: An Attempt at the Construction of Social Naturalism
by Yang ChenThis book focuses on the formation of human social consciousness and develops a naturalist approach to social normativity. Beginning from Marx's uncompleted concept of social consciousness, the book retrospects the studies about collective intentionality in the area of philosophy of mind and social ontology. Specifically, a reinterpretation of social consciousness with respect to collective intentionality can offer us a new, naturalistic approach to the social formation and normativity. According to the naturalistic approach, we can discern the inner structure of social consciousness as a systematic pattern of Intentionality. Social consciousness involves three levels of development: subjective, objective and absolute. With this new pattern of social consciousness, the “naturalism” of the young Karl Marx can be revived. And by grasping the most essential ability of human Intentionality as the source of social formation, it also makes an interdisciplinary study of social philosophyand philosophy of mind possible.

Rezipienten als Straf- und Kunstrichter: Oszillationen zwischen Urteil und Deutung (Literatur und Recht #11)
by Nursan Celik Sebastian SpethRechtsprechung steht unter dem Diktat der Urteilspflicht und muss Mehrdeutigkeit daher einhegen und urteilend auflösen. Literatur hält Formen und Prozesse von Mehrdeutigkeit dagegen ohne Schwierigkeit aus. Sie werden als Potenzierung der ästhetischen Qualität sogar gerühmt und forciert. Die Beiträge des vorliegenden Bandes sind Texten und Rezeptionszusammenhängen gewidmet, die Rezipientinnen und Rezipienten explizit in eine Richterposition setzen. Konkret geht es um literarische Phänomene, bei denen Rezipierende nicht bloß verstehen und deuten, sondern (be- und ver-)urteilen – zum einen im engen (juristischen) und zum anderen im weiten (ästhetischen) Sinne des Urteilsbegriffs. Zu unterscheiden sind hierbei Laienurteile in Strafsachen und die Einforderung professioneller Urteile, bei denen Leserinnen und Leser (metaphorisch) als Kunstrichter angesprochen, konstruiert oder zu agieren verpflichtet werden. Das literaturgeschichtliche Spektrum reicht dabei vom 18. Jahrhundert bis zur Gegenwart, mit einem Schwerpunkt im frühen 20. Jahrhundert.
