• Sommario/riassunto: Zeit ist eine Grundbedingung unserer Existenz. Ihre Konstruktions- und Wahrnehmungsbedingungen stehen seit einiger Zeit verstärkt im Fokus wissenschaftlichen wie auch gesellschaftlichen Interesses. Zeitvorstellungen, die von ihrer linearen logisch-objektiven Messbarkeit ausgehen, sind in Frage gestellt worden, während die Erkenntnis, dass Zeit eine bedeutende subjektive, aus sozialen Zusammenhängen heraus entstehende Kategorie ist, an Gewicht gewonnen hat. Von aktuellen Fragen angeregt, beleuchtet der Band abstrakte Zeitkonzeptionen des frühen und hohen Mittelalters, die durch biblische Vorgaben und exegetische Denkmuster geprägt sind. Dabei entsteht ein Bild von zeitgebundenen Wahrnehmungsweisen, die in politische und soziale ; Handlungen überführt werden konnten, und von Zeitmodellen, die in komplexe Systeme von zyklischer, linearer und geschichteter Zeit gefasst wurden.

Spectres of Bruce Lee -- Chapter Seven. Re-Enter the Dragon, beyond Bruce Lee -- Bibliography -- Index
• Sommario/riassunto: In order to understand Bruce Lee, we must look beyond Bruce Lee to the artist's intricate cultural and historical contexts. This work begins by contextualising Lee, examining his films and martial arts work, and his changing cultural status within different times and places. The text examines Bruce Lee's films and philosophy in relation to the popular culture and cultural politics of the 1960s and 1970s, and it addresses the resurgence of his popularity in Hong Kong and China in the twenty-first century. The study also explores Lee's ongoing legacy and influence in the West, considering his function as a shifting symbol of ethnic politics and the ways in which he continues to inform Hollywood film-fight choreography. Beyond Bruce Lee ultimately argues Lee is ; best understood in terms of "cultural translation" and that his interventions and importance are ongoing.
