Wrestling – Kampfsport mit Emotionen. Über die Jahre hinweg kann man eine interessante Entwicklung verfolgen, wie aus dem Ringersport eine sportliche Unterhaltungsshow wird, das Wrestling. Bei genauerer Betrachtung erkennt man, dass es sowohl sportliche als auch theatrale Elemente vereint. Ebenso wie in Filmen oder Serien gibt es Figuren, welche bei den Rezipienten Sympathie oder Antipathie hervorrufen. Unter diesem Gesichtspunkt wurde diese Arbeit erstellt und handelt von der erfolgreichsten Figur im Wrestling-Universum, dem Undertaker. Hierfür wurde der Figurenaufbau und seine Entwicklung seit den 90er Jahren analysiert und erläutert. Bei diesem Buch handelt es sich um die erste rein wissenschaftliche Betrachtung dieses Fachbereichs und es soll der Motivation zukünftiger Arbeiten in diesem Themenbereich dienen.
What can the performance of a single play on one specific night tell us about the world this event inhabited so briefly? Alexander Nemerov takes a performance of Macbeth in Washington, DC on October 17, 1863—with Abraham Lincoln in attendance—to explore this question and illuminate American art, politics, technology, and life as it was being lived. Nemerov’s inspiration is Wallace Stevens and his poem "Anecdote of the Jar," in which a single object organizes the wilderness around it in the consciousness of the poet. For Nemerov, that evening’s performance of Macbeth reached across the tragedy of civil war to acknowledge the horrors and emptiness of a world it tried and ultimately failed to change.
"Detours" explores the reception of Kant's works in Vienna, Austria and Eastern Europe from a historical point of view and focuses on six topics: Kant and Censorship, Kant and Karl Leonhard Reinhold, who was the first Kantian born in Vienna and became a precursor for German and Austrian Kant reception in Jena, Kant and Eastern Europe, Kant and his Poets, Kant and Phenomenology and Kant and the Vienna Circle. In this way, the ambivalent perception of Kant in Austria becomes clearer: On the one hand Kant was censored and criticized harshly but on the other hand Kant's philosophy was studied actively in the "underground".

Silent Dialogues, by art historian Alexander Nemerov, is a probing, intimate reflection about photographer Diane Arbus, the author's aunt, and her brother, Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Howard Nemerov, the author's father. "I have no memories of Diane Arbus," begins Alexander Nemerov in the first of two meditative essays that comprise this book. "A Resemblance" examines Howard Nemerov's complicated responses to his sister's photography. "The School" focuses on a body of Arbus' work known as the Untitled series, photographs made at residences for the mentally disabled between 1969 and 1971, in the last years of her life. Through their work, the author explores the siblings' disparate and distinct sensibilities, and in doing so uncovers signs of an unexpected aesthetic kinship. Illustrations complementing the essays include numerous examples of Arbus' photographs; paintings by artists as diverse as Pieter Brueghel, Norman Rockwell, Paul Feeley and Johannes Vermeer; and a selection of poems by Howard Nemerov, chosen by his son.
