"Darling" ist ein unverblümter Roman über die Schattenseiten Frankfurts. Zwischen hartem Sex und schnellem Geld löst sich die Moral rasch auf und für tiefe Gefühle bleibt wenig Platz – das muss der Taxifahrer Adrian Baumann auf bittere Weise erfahren. Er trifft die Liebe seines Lebens, aber auch das kann manchmal die falsche Frau sein. Hanna Hartmann schreibt schnell und ohne Rücksicht. Ihr Buch ist wie eine Fahrt durch eine bizarre Achterbahn. Der Frankfurter Taxifahrer Adrian Baumann hat jede Menge privater Probleme – doch als eine unbekannte Schöne in sein Taxi einsteigt, scheinen sie wie weggeblasen. Er folgt ihr heimlich, und ein Albtraum beginnt: Erst entdeckt er, dass die Frau bizarre Filme dreht, dann wird er Zeuge eines Mordes. Auf der Suche nach einer Erklärung taucht er immer tiefer in eine Welt ein, in der man mit Demütigung und Dominanz viel Geld verdienen kann. Am Ende weiß er mehr, als er vielleicht wissen wollte. Hanna Hartmanns Debüt führt durch ein abseitiges und fremdartiges Frankfurt. Die Autorin und Politikerin zeigt in ihrem Buch, wie gut sie die Stadt am Main kennt.
Privacy is one of the most contested concepts of our time. This book sets out a rigorous and comprehensive framework for understanding debates about privacy and our rights to it. Much of the conflict around privacy comes from a failure to recognise divergent perspectives. Some people argue about human rights, some about social conventions, others about individual preferences and still others about information and data processing. As a result, ‘privacy’ has become the focus of competing definitions, leading some to denounce the ‘disarray’ in the field. But as this book shows, disagreements about the role and value of privacy obscure a large amount of agreement on the topic. Privacy is not a technical term of law, cybersecurity or sociology, but a word in common use that adequately expresses a few simple and related ideas.
This is an open access book. In the current situation of rapid economic development, the competition in the market is increasingly fierce. The drawbacks of traditional enterprise management and the backward management concept have seriously hindered the normal development of enterprises. In order to improve their competitive advantages and market share, enterprises must optimize their management methods and build a modern business administration system. In this situation, enterprises can only promote their development process by improving their business management mode and formulating scientific business management policies. Data science is one of the most important tools for optimizing busi...
The data behind a distinct form of racism in online dating The Dating Divide is the first comprehensive look at "digital-sexual racism," a distinct form of racism that is mediated and amplified through the impersonal and anonymous context of online dating. Drawing on large-scale behavioral data from a mainstream dating website, extensive archival research, and more than seventy-five in-depth interviews with daters of diverse racial backgrounds and sexual identities, Curington, Lundquist, and Lin illustrate how the seemingly open space of the internet interacts with the loss of social inhibition in cyberspace contexts, fostering openly expressed forms of sexual racism that are rarely exposed ...
Das neue unionale Datenschutzrecht ist, entgegen mancher Befurchtung, kein law of everything. Vielmehr mussen unterschiedliche Rechtsmaterien ineinandergreifen, um eine sachgerechte Regelungsstruktur im Schnittbereich von Datenschutzrecht und Privatrecht aufzubauen. Philipp Hacker bestimmt das Verhaltnis dieser Rechtsmaterien, insbesondere von DS-GVO und BGB. Denn die Verschrankung unterschiedlicher Technologieformen fordert mehr denn je ein rechtsbereichsubergreifendes Verstandnis von juristischer Dogmatik und ein interdisziplinar fundiertes Konzept von Regulierung. Auf Basis des geltenden Rechts entwirft er ein integriertes Marktordnungsrecht fur digitale Austauschverhaltnisse. Die Untersuchung schliesst mit Reformperspektiven, die aufzeigen, wie die informierte Einwilligung durch eine technologische ersetzt werden kann, um eine privatautonome Gestaltung von Rechtsverhaltnissen unter den Bedingungen der digitalen Wirtschaft zu ermoglichen.
A behavioral scientist explores love, belongingness, and fulfillment, focusing on how modern technology can both help and hinder our need to connect. A Next Big Idea Club nominee. Millions of people around the world are not getting the physical, emotional, and intellectual intimacy they crave. Through the wonders of modern technology, we are connecting with more people more often than ever before, but are these connections what we long for? Pandemic isolation has made us even more alone. In Out of Touch, Professor of Psychology Michelle Drouin investigates what she calls our intimacy famine, exploring love, belongingness, and fulfillment and considering why relationships carried out on techn...
There is a pervasive ideology that claims America is a land of unlimited opportunity, and people get out of the system what they put into it based on talent, attitude, hard work, and character. The Meritocracy Myth: Who Gets Ahead and Why deconstructs this idea by identifying factors that suppress, neutralize, or negate merit-based traits. These include economic inheritance, who you know (social capital) and “fitting in” (cultural capital), being at the right place at the right time, unequal access to educational opportunities, and discrimination based on race, sex, age, sexual orientation, physical disability, religion, and physical appearance. Discussion questions at the end of each ch...
