We live in a digital Media Society, in which pictures are becoming more and more important. So, human communication is increasingly becoming a visual communication. That is not a new finding. But the new question is: What does this development mean for the law? Up to now the law is the part of the society which is most sceptical towards images. Law has still resisted the visual temptation. This will not last for ever. The rush of pictures in everyday life and in every part of the society is much too strong - and it is even getting stronger. The invasion of images will change the character of modern law deeply. Modern law will become a Pictorial Law.What are the chances and the risks of Pictorial Law and visual law communication? This is the topic of the book.

Was bisher im medienkritischen Diskurs fehlt, ist ein Reader, der klassische Positionen der Medienkritik dokumentiert und kommentiert, also eine Sammlung von Grundlagentexten der Klassiker dieser Disziplin. Um der Formvielfalt der Medienkritik gerecht zu werden, darf sich eine Auseinandersetzung mit ihr nicht auf Rekonstruktion bzw. Dokumentation beschränken, sondern muss diese mit aktuellen Perspektiven verbinden, also zeigen, wie klassische Argumentationslinien von aktuellen Ansätzen aufgegriffen, kritisiert oder weiterentwickelt werden. Der Aufgabe, diese Lücke zu schließen, allerdings aus sozialwissenschaftlicher, d.h. konkret soziologischer und politikwissenschaftlicher Perspektive, nimmt sich dieser Band an. Weiterhin soll in diesem Band die Basis für eine neue kritische Medienforschung geschaffen werden.
Sport during Cold War has recently begun to be studied in more depth. Some scholars have edited a book about the US and Soviet sport diplomacy and show ow the government of these two countries have used sport during this period, notably as a tool of "soft power" during the Olympic games. Our goal is to continue in this direction and to focus more on the sport field as a place of exchanges during the Cold War. Regarding this point, our aim is to show that there were events "beyond boycotts"many and that unknown connections existed inside sport. Morevoer, many actors were involved in these exchanges. Thus, it is important not only to focus on the action of States, but also on private actors (international sporting bodies and journalists), considering that they acted around sport (an "apolitic" field) as it was tool to maintain links between the two blocs. Our project offers a good opportunity for young scholars to present original research based on new materials (notably the use of institutional or personals archives). Morevoer, it is also a step forward with a view to conduct research within a global history paradigm, one that is still underused in sport academic fields.
