Sommario/riassunto

This book reveals subversive representations of gender, race and class in detective dime novels (1860-1915), arguing that inherent tensions between subversive and conservative impulses—theorized as contamination and containment—explain detective fiction's ongoing popular appeal to readers and to writers such as Twain and Faulkner.

Sommario/riassunto

The paper examines fiscal sustainability issues for the case of Eritrea but has wider implications for addressing fiscal and debt sustainability. It begins with a formal definition and explanation of analytical sustainability indicators, followed by an assessment of the causes of fiscal deficits and their impact on the usual indicators of fiscal and external debt sustainability. The paper then goes beyond the usual analytical indicators by attempting to identify how and through which channels fiscal and other economic policies have affected the behavior of endogenous variables that in one way or another influence sustainability.

This report of an Institute of Medicine study presents a balanced view of guidelines--their strengths, their limitations, and how they can be more effectively used to benefit health care. It offers recommendations and a proposed framework for strengthening the development and use of guidelines, numerous illustrations of guidelines, a ready-to-use



instrument for assessing the soundness of guidelines, and six case studies exploring issues involved in the day-to-day use of guidelines. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Sommario/riassunto

Die Arbeit rekonstruiert die epistemische Verschiebung von Kants transzendentaler Erkenntnis zu Hegels absolutem Wissen; erstmals im



systematisch-historischen Zusammenhang der frühromantischen Texte Friedrich Schlegels.Ankerpunkt der Untersuchungen ist dabei der von Schlegel erkenntnispositiv gewendete Gebrauch dialektischer Verfahren. Mit seiner paradigmatischen Umdeutung der „Transzendentalen Dialektik“ Kants werden erkenntnistheoretische Muster freigelegt, die der Einheit des Widerspruchs logischen Vorrang gewähren und den späteren Einsichten Hegels vorausgehen. Dialektik bestimmt dabei drei wesentliche Positionen im Umgang mit dem Absoluten: als transzendentale Idee bei Kant, als unendlicher Darstellungsverlauf bei Schlegel und als bewusstgewordene Einsicht in seine Selbstexplikation bei Hegel.
