Winkler
But it is brought to an abrupt end when he is humiliated at a village cricket match, suffers racial abuse, assaults a peer of the realm and is arrested for a terrible crime. "Winkler" is a comic account of one man's search for meaning, identity and a suitable response to the burden of history. Coren's examination of the horrors of urban life and the lies we tell to survive is wild, dark, messy, frightening and brave.
And Still We Wait
In response to the recent critiques made against Balthasar’s interpretation of Christ’s descent into hell on Holy Saturday, this book argues that Balthasar does not intend to present a radical reinterpretation of the doctrine in contrast to the traditional teachings but rather intends to fully appreciate the in-betweenness of Holy Saturday as the day of transition from the cross to the resurrection, from the old aeon to the new. The book further argues that this awareness of the “in-betweenness” can be detected throughout Balthasar’s theological corpus and provides a clue to interpret his thoughts on Christian discipleship and suffering. After all, the Christian existence is also characterized by the transition from the old aeon to the new, from suffering to victory. The Christian believes that their victory is already here and not here yet. In this sense, the Christian still lives in Holy Saturday. Eventually, we can deepen our understanding of Christian discipleship and suffering in the light of Holy Saturday. In short, we could patiently endure our Holy Saturday because of Christ’s Holy Saturday in hell.
Night Waking
Anna hasn't slept in months. Stranded on a Hebridean island with two small children, she struggles to write or think without a room of her own. When her son finds a baby's skeleton buried in the garden, Anna must confront the island's troubled past, while finding a way to live with the complex demands of motherhood.
Quiet Politics and Business Power
Does democracy control business, or does business control democracy? This study of how companies are bought and sold in four countries - France, Germany, Japan and the Netherlands - explores this fundamental question. It does so by examining variation in the rules of corporate control - specifically, whether hostile takeovers are allowed. Takeovers have high political stakes: they result in corporate reorganizations, layoffs and the unraveling of compromises between workers and managers. But the public rarely pays attention to issues of corporate control. As a result, political parties and legislatures are largely absent from this domain. Instead, organized managers get to make the rules, quietly drawing on their superior lobbying capacity and the deference of legislators. These tools, not campaign donations, are the true founts of managerial political influence.
A RUSSIAN RENDEZVOUS
David Hopkins' job as a chemist in a multinational company based in London involves regular travel to Eastern Europe at the height of the Cold War. His business trips behind the "Iron Curtain" come to the attention of British Intelligence who dupe him into acting as a courier on their behalf. He is persuaded by the "spooks" to smuggle Anna, a beautiful and mysterious Russian to the West. They fall in love and secretly marry in England against the express orders of the Security Services. In hiding, to protect his wife from MI6 who have plans for her that will place her in peril, David learns that her father is in internal exile deep in Southern Russia and in mortal danger. Acting independently of the Intelligence community, who he does not trust, he resolves to smuggle him out to the West with the help of a motley crew, which includes his wife. A gripping life and death drama unfolds across Southern Russia and the Transcaucasian Soviet Socialist Republics as David heads for the Iranian border and safety.
Inszenierungen Zeitgenössischer Propaganda
Fahr nicht betrunken Auto! Halte Dich (nicht) an Corona-Schutzmaßnahmen! - In den Medienöffentlichkeiten demokratischer Gesellschaften finden sich eindringliche audiovisuelle Appelle unterschiedlicher Akteur*innen, die im Namen des Gemeinwohls auf das Verhalten ihres Publikums abzielen. Das Buch entwickelt anhand solcher Social Advertisements und einer disziplinär vielseitigen theoretischen Auseinandersetzung einen diskursanalytischen Ansatz, der genuin filmisches Denken in sein Zentrum stellt und audiovisuelle Diskursformationen der Kritik zugänglich macht. An der Schwelle von Propaganda, Werbung und Öffentlichkeitsarbeit wird aus einer filmwissenschaftlichen Perspektive nach den Poeti...
