The Eternal Future of the 1950s
Science fiction cinema, once relegated to the undervalued "B" movie slot, has become one of the dominant film genres of the 21st century, with Hollywood alone producing more than 400 science fiction films annually. Many of these owe a great deal of their success to the films of one defining decade: the 1950s. Essays in this book explore how classic '50s science fiction films have been recycled, repurposed, and reused in the decades since their release. Tropes from Don Siegel's Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956), for instance, have found surprising new life in Netflix's wildly popular Stranger Things. Interstellar (2014) and Arrival (2016) have clear, though indirect roots in the iconic 1950s science fictions films Rocketship X-M (1950) and The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951), and The Shape of Water (2017) openly recalls and reworks the major premises of The Creature From the Black Lagoon (1954). Essays also cover 1950's sci-fi influences on video game franchises like Fallout, Bioshock and Wolfenstein.

Umbrüche
English summary: This edition of conference papers analyses in what ways Protestantism and the new social movements interacted with each other during the 1960s and 1970s, years that were marked by dynamism and liberalization. German description: Den Wechselwirkungen zwischen Protestantismus und neuen sozialen Bewegungen in den von Dynamik und Liberalisierung gepragten 1960er und 70er Jahren widmen sich die Beitrage dieses Bandes. Untersucht wird die gegenseitige Beeinflussung anhand verschiedener Gruppierungen (Studenten- oder Frauenbewegung, osteuropaische Reformbewegung), Personen (Helmut Gollwitzer, Helmut Thielicke, Dorothee Solle), Strukturen (Kirchen- und Gemeindeaufbau) oder Aktionsformen (Kirchentag, politisches Nachtgebet). Auch die weltweit entstandenen neuen theologischen Entwurfe dieser Zeit, Wechselwirkungen auf internationaler Ebene sowie die sich innerhalb der evangelischen Kirche formierende Gegenbewegung kommen zur Sprache.

Gaming and the Divine
This book formulates a new theological approach to the study of religion in gaming. Video games have become one of the most important cultural artefacts of modern society, both as mediators of cultural, social, and religious values and in terms of commercial success. This has led to a significant increase in the critical analysis of this relatively new medium, but theology as an academic discipline is noticeably behind the other humanities on this subject. The book first covers the fundamentals of cultural theology and video games. It then moves on to set out a Christian systematic theology of gaming, focussing on creational theology, Christology, anthropology, evil, moral theology, and than...
Die Politisierung des Protestantismus
Das Verhältnis zwischen Religion und Politik ist in jüngster Zeit wieder zu einem Thema von hoher öffentlicher und wissenschaftlicher Aufmerksamkeit geworden. Die Beiträger des vorliegenden Bandes beschäftigen sich mit Politisierungstendenzen im Protestantismus während der Reform- und Krisenjahre der Bundesrepublik. Sie fragen nach Ursachen, Erscheinungsformen und Auswirkungen dieser Entwicklungen und beleuchten auch die zeitgenössischen Diskurse über eine »Politisierung der Kirche«. Wie verhielt es sich mit dem politischen Selbstverständnis und Agieren von Laienchristen und kirchlichen Amtsträgern? Wie sahen die theologischen Entwürfe aus, die ein aktives, die Gesellschaft veränderndes Christentum propagierten? Wie gestaltete sich der innerkonfessionelle Polarisierungsprozess im Zeichen der »Linkspolitisierung«? Beiträge zum Katholizismus in der Bundesrepublik sowie zum Protestantismus in anderen Ländern West- und Osteuropas klären, ob es sich bei der neuen »Politisierung« von Religion, Kirche und Theologie um ein überkonfessionelles und ein transnationales Phänomen handelte.
