Perilous Futures
Since his death, the writings of Carl Schmitt (1888-1985) have been debated, cited, and adopted by political and legal thinkers on both the left and right with increasing frequency, though not without controversy given Schmitt's unwavering support for National Socialism before and during World War II. InPerilous Futures, Peter Uwe Hohendahl calls for critical scrutiny of Schmitt's later writings, the work in which Schmitt wrestles with concerns that retain present-day relevance: globalization, asymmetrical warfare, and the shifting international order. Hohendahl argues that Schmitt's work seems to offer solutions to these present-day issues, although the ambiguity of his beliefs means that Schmitt's later work is a problematic guide.
Focusing on works Schmitt published after the war-includingThe Nomos of the Earth,Theory of the PartisanandPolitical Theology II-as well as his posthumously published diaries, Hohendahl reads these works critically against the backdrop of their biographical and historical contexts, he charts the shift in Schmitt's perspective from a German nationalist focus to a European and then international agenda, while attending to both the conceptual and theoretical continuities with his prewar work and addressing the tension between the specific circumstances in which Schmitt was writing and the later international appropriation. Crossing disciplines of history, political theory, international relations, German studies, and political philosophy, Hohendahl brings Schmitt's later writings into contemporary discourse and forces us to reexamine what we believe about Carl Schmitt.

The political discourse of Carl Schmitt
Carl Schmitt is a key figure in modern political thought, but discussion of his work often focuses upon specific elements or themes within his texts. This book provides a wide-ranging discussion of Carl Schmitt’s discourse and provides a new perspective on his contribution, presenting the idea of Nomos of the Earth as the key idea that organizes his political and legal discourse This book creates a ‘reverse genealogy’ of Schmitt’s theoretical system, starting from his legal and political concept of nomos so as to reconstruct his understanding of order. It connects the different topics the Carl Schmitt developed along his intellectual trajectory, which have generally been approached in separate ways by scholars: the legal theory, the concept of the political, the theory of international relations and political theology. The text considers the whole of Carl Schmitt’s work including writings that have been previously unknown to the English speaking academy; old journals with just three or four pages, newspaper articles, manuscripts of conferences, and Festschrifts. It provides a balanced examination of the whole complex of Carl Schmitt’s political discourse.

Invisible love
In this latest collection, two young lovers secretly love the child they will never be able to have; an esteemed physician and survivor of the Nazi concentration camps finds inner peace thanks to the love of a faithful dog; a man loves his wife through the memories of her first husband; and a mother rediscovers love for her child when someone tries to take that child from her. And finally, Sâeverine and Benjamin understand that they have lost the love of their lives when they see themselves through the eyes of a young terminally ill girl. Love is not easy, and not always easy to find; at times, it is obliged to circumvent social norms, and thus transform them; it must be desired, sought, defended. We cannot know what life has in store for us, but we do know that whatever it is, it will only be meaningful if borne on the wings of love. Schmitt's sublime stories remind us how true this is.

The
Due to the many warnings at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic of an increased transfer of power to governments and the subsequent impending demise of democracy, this article presents a theological response to a persistent theory of autocratic power. Employing, but reinterpreting the semantics of the concepts of the jurist and theorist of state Carl Schmitt, the theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer redirects the former’s rhetoric regarding history, rule, nothingness, creation ex nihilo and miracle. As a result, Bonhoeffer responds to a secular method with faith in Christ’s cross and provides for a reality that can serve as a constant grounding for a new life carried by ultimate hope.

Nazi Spatial Theory: The Dark Geographies of Carl Schmitt and Walter Christaller
The concern with space and, more fundamentally, the formulation of a larger, guiding spatial theory, was central to achieving Nazi objectives during the Third Reich. We disclose critical elements of that theory, focusing on two contributions: the first by the jurist and international legal and political theorist Carl Schmitt (1888-1985) and the second by the geographer Walter Christaller (1893-1969). Applying the perverted biopolitical logic of National Socialism required the military accomplishment and bureaucratic management of two interrelated spatial processes: deterritorialization and reterritorialization. Deterritorialization involved moving non-Germanized Germans (mainly Jews and Slavs) off conquered Eastern lands to create an \"empty space\" that was then \"reterritorialized\" by the settlement of \"legitimate\" Germans (although often not German citizens). Although many German academics were involved in designing and implementing these spatial strategies, we single out two. Carl Schmitt provided a politico-judicial justification for reterritorialization involving the geographical expansion of the Third Reich: Großraum (greater space). Conceived four months before Germany's Blitzkrieg invasion of Poland that triggered World War II, Großraum provided the (literal) grounds for Nazi reterritorialization. Walter Christaller brought his peculiar spatial imaginary of formal geometry and place-based rural romanticism in planning the \"empty space\" of the East after non-Germanized inhabitants were removed. His central place theory re-created the Nazis' territorial conquests in the geographical likeness of the German homeland.

A Schmitt-Trigger-Based Low-Voltage 11 T SRAM Cell for Low-Leakage in 7-nm FinFET Technology
This paper proposes a modified Schmitt-trigger (ST)-based single-ended 11 T (MST11T) SRAM cell. The proposed cell is best suited to ultra-low voltage applications. Two ST-based cross-coupled inverters comprise the storage cell of the proposed MST11T bit cell. In comparison with conventional inverters, ST-based inverters have sharp voltage transfer characteristics. As a result, the proposed bit cell’s stability performance increases. The proposed SRAM cell’s leakage power consumption is reduced because of the use of stacked N-type transistors. For the read operation of the proposed bit cell, the read decoupled technique is used. As a result, the read static noise margin (RSNM) has greatly improved. The proposed bit cell’s write static noise margin (WSNM) is increased by adopting feedback-cutting methodology. The performance of the proposed bit cell is compared with that of conventional 6 T, conventional 8 T, Schmitt-trigger 10 T (known as ST2), modified PMOS-PMOS-NMOS-based cell core 10 T (MPPN10T), feedback-cutting 11 T (FC11T), Schmitt-trigger 11 T (ST11), and Schmitt-trigger 12 T (ST12T) cells. According to the simulation results, the proposed MST11T SRAM cell has RSNM of 2.42, 1.18, 1.71, 1.30, and 1.80 times higher when compared to 6 T, FC11T, ST2, MPPN10T, and ST12T, respectively. The WSNM of the proposed bit cell has been increased by 1.56, 2.44, 1.28, 1.71, 1.35, 1.52, and 1.02 times, respectively, over 6 T, 8 T, ST2, MPPN10T, FC11T, ST11T, and ST12T. Furthermore, the suggested cell has a read delay that is 1.32, 1.79, and 1.53 times lower than ST11T, FC11T, and ST12T, respectively. The proposed bit cell has a write delay that is 1.14 and 1.63 times lower than FC11T and ST11T, respectively. The proposed MST11T bit-cell consumes 3.74, 1.56, 4.59, 5.38, and 4.83 times less leakage power than the 8 T, ST2, MPPN10T, FC11T, and ST12 bit-cells, respectively. When compared to 8 T/ST2/MPPN10T/ST12T at 0.2 V supply voltage, the enhanced facts incur a 4.87/3.79/3.78/1.97 penalty in write delay. The figure of merit (FOM) is derived as a result of this extensive access to the revolutionary SRAM cell performance, i.e., offering greater values at a 0.2 V DC supply voltage. In addition, the paper examines the impact of manufacturing process and temperature changes on MST11T cell enactment, as well as the circuit robustness using HSPICE with 7-nm FinFET technology.
