Books
Ernst Kurth und Sergej Taneev
The emergence of Linearity at the beginning of the 20th century represents a remarkable but yet rarely dealt with phenomenon in music history. Two main protagonists of the time were Ernst Kurth (Bern) and Sergei Taneev (Moscow), whose counterpoint theories formed the basis for the work of numerous musicians of the time. Although concerning the same subject, both theories show fundamental differences, in music-theoretical as well as in music-aesthetic respect. It turns out that these different philosophies are reflected in numerous works by composers such as Ernst Křenek, Artur Schnabel, Alexander Scriabin and Nikolaj Metner.
Lords of the Mountains
With his authoritative monograph, Lords of the Mountains. Pre-Islamic Heritage along the Upper Indus in Pakistan, Harald Hauptmann brought decades of research in the Karakoram region of northern Pakistan to an impressive conclusion. In a sense, this book (completed before his sudden death in 2018) is the scientific legacy of the last phase of his career. The book was edited by Luca M. Olivieri of Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, head of the ISMEO and Ca’ Foscari’s Italian Archaeological Mission in Pakistan.

Digital Stylistics in Romance Studies and Beyond
Digital Stylistics is an area of research at the intersection of Literary Studies, Linguistics, Digital Humanities, and Computational Literary Studies. It is concerned with the computational and statistical analysis of literary style and of style in language use. This volume brings together research in Digital Stylistics from Romance Studies and beyond, contributing to new methods and applications in different language contexts and literatures. All the research results are based on the empirical, computational analysis of literary corpora chosen to analyze major genres or subgenres of poetry, drama, and prose from the nineteenth to the twenty-first century.
