Negotiating Comics with David B.'s Epileptic
Jörn Ahrens
With Epileptic, French comics artist David B. presents a graphic novel as innovative in style as it is experimental in content.

Contradictory Concepts
An Essay on the Semantic Structure of Religious Discourses
Lucian Hölscher
The widespread opinion among conceptual historians is that political concepts are always contested in their actual usage. Religious concepts in modernity are also not only contested; they are constructed on an ontological contradiction. They imply that the object to which they refer exists, and at the same time that it does not. I demonstrate this idea using four religious concepts: religion, God, the beyond, and spirit. I conclude with discussion on the reality status of religious concepts in modern historiography and religious studies.
