Unsichtbare Geschichte(n) sichtbar machen
Taube und schwerhörige Menschen sind eine oft übersehene gesellschaftliche Minderheit, die von der hörenden Mehrheit vorrangig durch ihre Art der Kommunikation getrennt sind – nämlich durch Gebärdensprachen oder visuell gestützte Lautsprachen. Die Analyse ihrer Geschichte verdeutlicht die kulturellen und historischen Einflüsse, die dazu führen, dass manche Sinneswelten und Kommunikationsformen als natürlich und vollwertig gelten, andere aber nicht. In Fallbeispielen vom frühen 19. Jahrhundert bis zur Gegenwart untersuchen die Autorinnen und Autoren die Bedeutung von Gebärdensprachen, die Geschichte von Gehörlosenverbänden, die wechselvolle Entwicklung der Gehörlosenbildung so...

A Strategic Fit Perspective on Family Firm Performance
Corinna M. Lindow substantiates, develops, and tests a strategic fit perspective on family firm performance in order to contribute to explaining previous inconclusive findings. In particular, she aims at investigating whether strategic fit determines family firm performance and what role family influence plays. Based on a sample of German family firms, the author indicates that, against expectations, family firms’ performance is not driven by strategic fit but through the effective use of family-specific factors such as family business governance and family culture. Further, the results suggest that family influence has important implications for strategy, organizational structure, and the achievement of strategic fit.
The Human Body in the Age of Catastrophe
The injuries suffered by soldiers during WWI were as varied as they were brutal. How could the human body suffer and often absorb such disparate traumas? Why might the same wound lead one soldier to die but allow another to recover? In The Human Body in the Age of Catastrophe, Stefanos Geroulanos and Todd Meyers uncover a fascinating story of how medical scientists came to conceptualize the body as an integrated yet brittle whole. Responding to the harrowing experience of the Great War, the medical community sought conceptual frameworks to understand bodily shock, brain injury, and the vast differences in patient responses they occasioned. Geroulanos and Meyers carefully trace how this emerging constellation of ideas became essential for thinking about integration, individuality, fragility, and collapse far beyond medicine: in fields as diverse as anthropology, political economy, psychoanalysis, and cybernetics. Moving effortlessly between the history of medicine and intellectual history, The Human Body in the Age of Catastrophe is an intriguing look into the conceptual underpinnings of the world the Great War ushered in.
