Translation Studies
A selection of 44 papers out of the 163 presented at the Translation Studies Congress, which was held in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Institut für Dolmetscher und Übersetzer Ausbildung in Vienna, shows how translation studies is moving away from purely linguistic analysis into LSP, psychology, cognition, and cultural orientations. The volume is divided into sections reflecting the focal subject areas at the Congress: Translation, history and culture; Interpreting theory and training; Terminology and special languages; Teaching and training in translation.

Nazi Propaganda Films
Hitler and the Nazis saturated their country with many types of propaganda to convince the German citizenry that the Nazi ideology was the only ideology. One type of propaganda that the Nazis relied on heavily was cinematic. This work focuses on Nazi propaganda feature films and feature-length documentaries made in Germany between 1933 and 1945 and released to the public. Some of them were Staatsauftragsfilme, films produced by order of and financed by the Third Reich. The films are arranged by subject and then alphabetically, and complete cast and production credits are provided for each. Short biographies of actors, directors, producers, and other who were involved in the making of Nazi propaganda films are also provided.

Letters and Papers from Prison
Despite Dietrich Bonhoeffer¿s earlier theological achievements and writings, it was his correspondence and notes from prison that electrified the postwar world six years after his death in 1945. The materials gathered and selected by his friend Eberhard Bethge in Letters and Papers from Prison not only brought Bonhoeffer to a wide and appreciative readership, especially in North America, they also introduced to a broad readership his novel and exciting ideas of religionless Christianity, his open and honest theological appraisal of Christian doctrines, and his sturdy, if sorely tried, faith in face of uncertainty and doubt.This splendid volume, in many ways the capstone of the Dietrich Bonh...
STiNT
19 Jahre, von 1987 bis 2006, hat die Zeitschrift STiNT existiert und war damit das am längsten je in Bremen erschienene Periodikum für Literatur. Nun haben Redakteure der ersten Generation zusammen mit einigen anderen Rückschau gehalten. Das dabei entstandene Buch enthält alte und neue Beiträge, eine Liste aller Autorinnen und Autoren, bisher unveröffentlichte Zeichnungen von Norbert Schwontkowski, die auch als separater Druck erhältlich sind, sowie viele Fotos und weitere Kunstbeiträge. STiNT war mehr als eine Literaturzeitschrift: In Zusammenarbeit mit der Sparkasse Bremen gab es zahlreiche Lesungen namhafter aber auch seiner Zeit noch wenig bekannter Autoren. Jede Ausgabe enthielt Beiträge bildender Künstler. Symposien und Reisen führten in die Umgebung sowie auch in die DDR. Der Ableger STiNT Verlag war u.A. verantwortlich für das Debüt von Artur Becker. Darüber hinaus gab es Kooperationen mit einigen Bremer Verlagen. STiNT wird als ein Bild Bremer Kultur in Erinnerung bleiben.
Between Mass Death and Individual Loss
Recent years have witnessed growing scholarly interest in the history of death. Increasing academic attention toward death as a historical subject in its own right is very much linked to its pre-eminent place in 20th-century history, and Germany, predictably, occupies a special place in these inquiries. This collection of essays explores how German mourning changed over the 20th century in different contexts, with a particular view to how death was linked to larger issues of social order and cultural self-understanding. It contributes to a history of death in 20th-century Germany that does not begin and end with the Third Reich.
