These new and evolving patterns require a renewed and interdisciplinary understanding of how co-creation enables organizations to reshape business and society. With contributions from industrial and academic experts, this book provides deep insights into the theory and practice of bottom-up economics, and ad...

Wahrend sich mehrere Ausstellungen anlasslich des 100. Todestags von Paula Modersohn-Becker (1876&1907) auf den Vergleich mit franzosischer Kunst, auf das Kunstlerpaar und die Bedeutung der Mumienportrats fur das Spatwerk der Malerin konzentrierten, setzt dieser Band einen neuen Schwerpunkt. Im ersten Teil geht es um junge Kunstlerinnen aus aller Welt, die wie Paula Modersohn-Becker um 1900 nach Paris gingen, um, inspiriert von Marie Bashkirtseff oder Friedrich Nietzsche, Freiheit und neue Impulse fur ihre Arbeit zu gewinnen, ferner um die Figur der Kunstlerin in der zeitgenossischen Literatur. Im Mittelpunkt des zweiten Teils stehen das Pariser Umfeld von Modersohn-Becker, die Bedeutung der dort entstandenen Selbstakte und schliesslich die Rolle von Otto Modersohn als Witwer und Nachlassbetreuer. Im dritten Teil werden erstmals Collagen der Berliner Kunstlerin Ruth Tesmar prasentiert. Sie erkunden die Beziehung zwischen Kunst und Literatur sowie den geistigen Raum, in dem Modersohn-Becker ihre Themen entwickelte.
Fat Studies beschäftigen sich mit hohem Körpergewicht, ohne es auf die Wahrnehmung als Gesundheitsgefahr zu reduzieren. Sie fokussieren auf den gesellschaftlichen Umgang mit ›Übergewicht‹ als Ordnungs- und Herrschaftskategorie und analysieren, wie dicke Körper normiert und pathologisiert werden. International bereits weit entwickelt, sind die Fat Studies im deutschsprachigen Raum noch kaum bekannt. Die multidisziplinären und internationalen Beiträger*innen des Glossars präsentieren erstmals eine breite Palette zentraler Begriffe dieser jungen Disziplin: von A wie Aktivismus über I wie Intersektionalität bis Z wie Zucker.
