Die Auseinandersetzung mit der Angemessenheit des deutschen Namens wird in diesem Buch eingehend untersucht. Es beleuchtet die kulturellen und historischen Kontexte, die mit Namen verbunden sind, und reflektiert die Identität und das Selbstverständnis der Menschen. Durch persönliche Geschichten und gesellschaftliche Analysen wird ein tiefes Verständnis für die Bedeutung von Namen in der deutschen Sprache und Kultur vermittelt. Leser werden dazu angeregt, über die eigene Namenswahl und deren Auswirkungen auf das Leben nachzudenken.

"As a species, we have become profoundly talented architects of our own future. And yet, we so often struggle to come to terms with what this means and the responsibility that comes with this ability. As our world is driven along by the breakneck speed of innovation and rapidly-shifting norms and expectations, we sometimes need to find a still, quiet place to pause and think. Future Rising sets out to create such a quiet place, where we can take advantage of our species' knowledge of the environment, world history, and the importance of science to piece together a positive picture of the future."--Publisher's description

The Working Group (WG) on Exonyms of the United Nations Group of Experts on Geographical Names was established in 2002. The papers in this volume of Name & Place, marking the 19th Meeting of the WG in Prague in 2017, represent a cross-section of the knowledge acquired after 15 years of collective activities, in which the WG has developed – and hopefully enhanced – its understanding and appreciation of the subject of exonyms with the sub-themes usage, standardization, definitions, and criteria. All of them have been examined in this book series. In this volume we return to the subject of exonym usage, through papers which reveal a survey of the circumstances under which exonyms are deployed in individual countries today.

Focusing on key concepts and ethical frameworks, this book equips students with the philosophical insights necessary for their academic and professional development. It aims to enhance their understanding, enabling them to approach their assessed work with greater competence and informed perspectives.

Es werden in fachlich hervorragender Weise Schwerpunkte umrissen, mit welchen Herr Asche sich in seiner von zahlreichen Höhepunkten geprägten wissenschaftlichen Karriere beschäftigte.

Authors and editors of maps, atlases and all kinds of text publications, including articles in newspapers, as well as journalists of the electronic media, frequently face the problem of which name to use for a geographical feature outside their own country or linguistic community. If a choice of names is available, should they choose a name used by the community residing in or near the feature (endonym), or a name used by the author’s or editor’s community (exonym)? In which situations communication by using the exonym is likely to be more successful than by using the endonym? Which kind of place name (endonym or exonym) should be used in domestic communication, and which is better for international use? Which feature types are first candidates for exonyms? Which of the two categories would be preferable in school atlases, on road maps, or on city plans? The discussion on these criteria is reflected by the chapters of this book, documenting papers presented at a meeting of the United Nations Group of Experts (UNGEGN) in 2015.
