Der Band widmet sich postmigrantischen und widerständigen Stimmen sowie künstlerischen Verfahren, die darauf abzielen, hegemoniale Verhältnisse zu irritieren und zu subvertieren. Vielfältige Strategien des (Re-)Claiming, der Aneignung bzw. Wiederaneignung, werden zum einen anhand unterschiedlichster Formen wehrhafter Kunst untersucht: etwa mit Blick auf literarische und filmische Gegennarrative, neu angeeignete Theaterstücke und -räume oder Musik, die sich mithilfe intertextueller Bezüge selbstermächtigend positioniert. Zum anderen werden Debatten, Proteste und Widerständigkeiten im öffentlichen, privaten sowie institutionellen Raum beleuchtet: in den Sozialen Medien, beim Adbustin...
Das Mittelmeer inspiriert seit jeher das europäische Dichten und Denken. Es ist ein paradigmatischer Raum für Interkulturalitätsforschung. Das Schwerpunktheft, herausgegeben von Tomislav Zelic, widmet sich den kulturellen Imaginationen des Mediterranen und der Interkulturalität in der klassischen Moderne, insbesondere bei Gottfried Benn, Hermann Hesse und Anna Seghers. Die Beiträge unterziehen den Kanon dabei einer doppelten Revision: Einerseits werden mitunter vergessene oder wenig beachtete Werke untersucht. Andererseits wird gezeigt, wie sich das Mittelmeer als das Andere Mitteleuropas verstehen lässt und dabei als Fremdes zwar in Staunen versetzt, während es als solches zugleich konstitutiv für die Konstruktion des Eigenen ist.

Named one of the best books of the year by The Sunday Times of London, and already a bestseller in England, Noreena Hertz's The Silent Takeover explains how corporations in the age of globalization are changing our lives, our society, and our future -- and are threatening the very basis of our democracy. Of the world's 100 largest economies, fifty-one are now corporations, only forty-nine are nation-states. The sales of General Motors and Ford are greater than the GDP (gross domestic product) of the whole of sub-Saharan Africa, and Wal-Mart now has a turnover higher than the revenues of most of the states of Eastern Europe. Yet few of us are fully aware of the growing dominance of big busine...
Occupying Memory investigates the forces of trauma and mourning as deeply rhetorical in order to account for their capacity to seize one’s life. Rather than viewing memory as granting direct access to the past and being readily accessible or pliant to human will, Trevor Hoag exposes how the past is a rhetorical production and that trauma and mourning shatter delusions of sovereignty. By granting memory the posthuman power to persuade without an accompanying rhetorician, and contending the past cannot become a reality without being written, this book highlights rhetoric’s indispensability while transforming its relationship to memorialization, trauma, narrative, death, mourning, haunting,...

Marketing and consumer research has traditionally conceptualized consumers as individuals- who exercise choice in the marketplace as individuals not as a class or a group. However an important new perspective is now emerging that rejects the individualistic view and focuses on the reality that human life is essentially social, and that who we are is an inherently social phenomenon. It is the tribus, the many little groups we belong to, that are fundamental to our experience of life. Tribal Marketing shows that it is not individual consumption of products that defines our lives but rather that this activity actually facilitates meaningful social relationships. The social ‘links’ (social r...
