Northern Sun, Southern Moon
Until the 1960s American jazz, for all its improvisational and rhythmic brilliance, remained rooted in formal Western conventions originating in ancient Greece and early Christian plainchant.

Worlds in Common?
Worlds in Common? examines the newly emerging forms of language used in satellite television programmes, exploring a wide range of genres including twenty-four hour news broadcasting, culture channels, talk shows, local TV and European news. Focusing on the experiences of British and German viewers, the authors discuss these new forms of communication brought about by the technological and economic upheavals in Europe in the late 1990s.

Statt eines Vortrags bzw. einer Führung wählte er das Format eines gemeinsamen Gesprächs und verknüpfte eine fachliche Auseinandersetzung mit Bildungsansprüchen. Er wendete sich damit an ein Laienpublikum, da...
