The Nazi War on Cancer
Collaboration in the Holocaust. Murderous and torturous medical experiments. The "euthanasia" of hundreds of thousands of people with mental or physical disabilities. Widespread sterilization of "the unfit." Nazi doctors committed these and countless other atrocities as part of Hitler's warped quest to create a German master race. Robert Proctor recently made the explosive discovery, however, that Nazi Germany was also decades ahead of other countries in promoting health reforms that we today regard as progressive and socially responsible. Most startling, Nazi scientists were the first to definitively link lung cancer and cigarette smoking. Proctor explores the controversial and troubling qu...

Knowing in Performing
How can performing be transformed into cognition? Knowing in Performing describes dynamic processes of artistic knowledge production in music and the performing arts. Knowing refers to how processual, embodied, and tacit knowledge can be developed from performative practices in music, dance, theatre, and film. By exploring the field of artistic research as a constantly transforming space for participatory and experimental artistic practices, this anthology points the way forward for researchers, artists, and decision-makers inside and outside universities of the arts.
The Oxford Handbook of Algorithmic Music
Featuring chapters by emerging and established scholars as well as by leading practitioners in the field, this Handbook both describes the state of algorithmic composition and also set the agenda for critical research on and analysis of algorithmic music.
Postgraduate Research in Music
Postgraduate Research in Music: A Step-by-Step Guide to Writing a Thesis is an essential text for music students who are undertaking postgraduate research. Unique in its approach and scope, this is a "how to" book, a practical guide that sets out, step-by-step, how to write a thesis. It discusses all key aspects of the research process in the order in which they are encountered, from the initial stages of a research project to completion of a thesis. It also offers a music-specific focus, with explanations and examples that are immediately relevant for all music research and which take into account the special characteristics of music as a discipline. At the same time, the book provides a us...
The History of Cancer and Emotions in Twentieth-Century Germany
Different people feel different emotions when they are diagnosed with cancer. Both today and a century ago, fear and hope, shame and disgust, sadness and joy are and were the emotions experienced by many cancer patients and their loved ones. But these emotions do not just have significance for the people who feel them. They have also exerted a surprisingly profound influence on how hospitals and laboratories dealt with cancer, how early detection campaigns portrayed it, and how doctors talked about it with their patients. Bettina Hitzer details the history of cancer and emotions in twentieth-century Germany and thus follows the cancer-associated transformations of emotional regimes, emotional politics, and emotional experiences through five different political systems. In doing so, the study underscores that political caesuras resonate in the immediate corporeality of the history of emotions.
Die Brauerei Zipf im Nationalsozialismus
Das Buch untersucht die Entwicklung der Brauerei Zipf im Rahmen der österreichischen Brauindustrie. Schwerpunkt dabei ist die Zeit des Nationalsozialismus, als der V2-Rüstungsbetrieb "Schlier" und ein KZ-Außenlager von Mauthausen den Betrieb der Brauerei maßgeblich beeinflussten sowie deren schwierige Abwicklung nach dem Krieg. Ausgehend von einer Analyse der Anfänge und des Wachstums der Brauerei Zipf von 1858 bis 1938 vor dem Hintergrund der Geschichte der österreichischen Brauindustrie untersucht das Buch die Entwicklung der Brauerei Zipf während der Zwischenkriegszeit. Anschließend wird auf die Umgestaltung des Wirtschaftslebens durch die neuen NS-Machthaber nach dem Anschluss 1938 ebenso eingegangen wie auf die Einquartierung des V2-Rüstungsbetriebes "Schlier" und die Errichtung des entsprechenden KZ-Außenlagers von Mauthausen. Die Rolle der Brauerei bei diesen Entwicklungen und die sich daraus für den Wirtschaftsbetrieb ergebenden Konsequenzen werden beleuchtet. Abgerundet wird die Studie von einer Besprechung der langwierigen Abwicklung des Rüstungsbetriebes sowie einem Überblick über die Entwicklung bis in die 1970er Jahre.
