Reviews

»Durch diese wissenschaftliche Aufbereitung lässt sich verfolgen, wie mit fortschreitender Globalisierung das Einzelne und Besondere weiter zu existieren vermag, wie es sich verändert oder aber auch im Austausch mit anderen Kulturen verloren geht.

Die Kurzbiografien der beteiligten Autoren lassen erkennen, wie vielseitig das Herangehen an die Thematik erfolgte.«
