| Title: Archives, Access and Artificial Intelligence |
| Sub-title: Working with Born-Digital and Digitized Archival Collections |
| Edited by: Lise Jaillant |
| ISBN10-13: 3837655849 : 9783837655841 |
| Digital archives are transforming the Humanities and the Sciences. Digitized collections of newspapers and books have pushed scholars to develop new, data-rich methods. Born-digital archives are now better preserved and managed thanks to the development of open-access and commercial software. Digital Humanities have moved from the fringe to the center of academia. Yet, the path from the appraisal of records to their analysis is far from smooth. This book explores crossovers between various disciplines to improve the discoverability, accessibility, and use of born-digital archives and other cultural assets. |

| Title: Are We Comparing Yet? |
| Sub-title: On Standards, Justice, and Incomparability |
| Series: BiUP General |
| By (author): Haun Saussy |
| ISBN10-13: 3837649776 : 9783837649772 |
| Debates about the possibility of an open culture â or indeed about the possibility of an open debate about the openness of culture â often turn on questions of standards. But since no benchmark can be absolute, judgement is a proliferation of comparisons.Through a series of case studies in everyday and academic comparison (literature, history, politics, philosophy), Haun Saussy calls out the typical vices of comparison and proposes ways to unseat them. For however much it is abused, distorted, and manipulated, comparison retains an essential link to the idea of justice. |

| Title: Biodiversity â Handbook of the Anthropocene in Latin America II |
| Series: The Anthropocene as Multiple Crisis: Perspectives from Latin America |
| Edited by: Olaf Kaltmeier, Antoine Acker, León Enrique à vila Romero, Regina Horta Duarte |
| ISBN10-13: 3837670120 : 9783837670127 |
| Biodiversity should not be understood in biological terms only and as a thing apart from society, but rather as biocultural diversity present in the social world and in various cultures. Such a perspective might allow to relieve social conflicts as well as abuses of power, and slow the appropriation of the biosphere. This volume of the Handbook "The Anthropocene as Multiple Crisis" focuses on biodiversity in the main macro-regions of Latin America from the colonial regime to the contemporary era of the Anthropocene. The contributions enrich contemporary debates surrounding the genealogy of the Anthropocene in Latin America with critical perspectives from the social sciences and the humanities. |

| Title: Climate Change â Handbook of the Anthropocene in Latin America III |
| Edited by: Eleonora Rohland, Virginia GarcÃa Acosta, Anthony Goebel McDermott, Javier Taks |
| ISBN10-13: 3837670155 : 9783837670158 |
| Societies have culturally framed and interacted with historical climate variability or anthropogenic climate change and climatic extremes, thereby becoming more or less vulnerable to the impacts of these events. This volume of the Handbook "The Anthropocene as Multiple Crisis" focuses on climate change and its socio-climatic and socio-environmental entanglements in the main macro-regions of Latin America from the colonial regime to the contemporary era of the Anthropocene. The contributions enrich contemporary debates surrounding the genealogy of the Anthropocene in Latin America with critical perspectives from the social sciences and the humanities. |

| Title: Communicative AI in (Inter-)Action |
| Sub-title: Investigating Human-Machine Encounters outside the Laboratory |
| Edited by: Florian Muhle, Indra Bock |
| ISBN10-13: 3837675017 : 9783837675016 |
| So far, human-machine encounters have primarily been tested and monitored in controlled laboratory settings. However, the first robots that are used in care, service and education are already being sold commercially. The contributors grapple with methodological challenges in investigating communicative AI systems in (inter-)action. They investigate how these studies can be composed and what kinds of insights such research can provide. With this, the anthology brings together contributions from a growing community of researchers who are committed to exploring communicative AI "in (inter-)action" by using and adapting qualitative (and mostly ethnographic) methods. |

| Title: Comparing and Change |
| Sub-title: Orders, Models, Perceptions |
| Edited by: Antje Flüchter, Kirsten Kramer, Rebecca Mertens, Silke Schwandt |
| ISBN10-13: 3837672662 : 9783837672664 |
| Comparisons affect various ways of perceiving and interpreting the world, characterized by distinct legitimization strategies and knowledge application routines by different actors. The contributors to this volume explore the link between change and practices of comparing, focusing on order, representation, and models. They delve into how comparing influences knowledge production, but also focus on persisting orders of knowledge. This collection centers on the role of models and modeling in relation to practices of comparing, thus highlighting the representational and operational force of comparing as a way to form and organize reality. |

| Title: Faith in Development |
| Sub-title: Mixed-Method Studies on Worldviews and Religious Styles |
| Series: BiUP General |
| Edited by: Heinz Streib, Ralph W. Hood Jr. |
| ISBN10-13: 3837671232 : 9783837671230 |
| How has faith developed in the US and German societies across the last decades? In a three-wave longitudinal investigation of faith development, this study presents the changes of worldview and meaning-making that people associate with their religious, spiritual, agnostic and atheist identifications. For almost two decades, research teams in Chattanooga (USA) and Bielefeld (Germany) have invited and re-invited hundreds of people to participate in a personal interview and to answer an extensive questionnaire in order to better understand the reasons and the consequences of their continuity or discontinuity in religious, spiritual, or non-theistic faith. |

| Title: Geographical Research in the Digital Humanities |
| Sub-title: Spatial Concepts, Approaches and Methods |
| Edited by: Finn Dammann, Dominik Kremer |
| ISBN10-13: 3837669181 : 9783837669183 |
| The richness of social and cultural theory in the humanities offers countless opportunities for using theory-informed concepts in data-based analysis workflows. The contributors to this volume thus encourage further research utilizing out-of-the-box models and approaches to space and place in the field of Digital Humanities. The collection follows the two complementary goals of providing promising conceptualisations of space and place for a broad audience from Digital Humanities, and of presenting current work in Digital Humanities using different conceptualisations of space and place or offering innovative methods for their analysis. |

| Title: Global Contestations of Gender Rights |
| Edited by: Alexandra Scheele, Julia Roth, Heidemarie Winkel |
| ISBN10-13: 3837660699 : 9783837660692 |
| Across the globe, a growing number of social movements, such as demonstrations in support of equal civil status or reproductive freedom and against sexualized violence, show that women's and gender rights are highly contested. Against the backdrop of a long history of unequal rights implementation, the contributors to this volume deal with the questions of why and in which ways gender equality has become contested in various political contexts. Local case studies examine the relevant structural, institutional, and socio-cultural causes of the global challenges to equality. This book follows an interdisciplinary approach and unites scholars from law, linguistics, cultural studies, history, social sciences, and gender studies in diverse contexts. |
