Gleichzeitig ungleich
Die dritte Welle der Covid-19-Pandemie im Frühjahr 2021 stand medizinisch gesehen ganz im Zeichen erweiterter Infektionsgefahr auf der einen und beschleunigtem Impftempo auf der anderen Seite. In ihrem Buch setzen sich Sarah Herbst, Rüdiger Mautz und Berthold Vogel soziologisch mit dieser Phase der Pandemie auseinander. Ihre Analysen zeigen, welchen spezifischen Belastungen einzelne Berufsgruppen während dieser Zeit ausgesetzt waren und wie sich die Wertschätzung für einzelne Berufe und Tätigkeiten verändert hat. Zudem analysieren die Autor:innen, welche Spuren die Pandemie in der Arbeitswelt und in den Erfahrungen der Menschen hinterlässt. Dabei zeigt sich, dass die dritte Welle eine Schlüsselphase der Covid-19-Krise war.
Myth in the Modern Novel
Myth in the Modern Novel: Imagining the Absolute posits a twofold thesis. First, although Modernity is regarded as an era dominated by science and rational thought, it has in fact not relinquished the hold of myth, a more "primitive" form of thought which is difficult to reconcile with modern rationality. Second, some of the most important statements as to the reconcilability of myth and Modernity are found in the work of certain prominent novelists. This book offers a close examination of the work of eleven writers from the late eighteenth century to the beginning of the twenty-first, representing German, French, American, Czech and Swedish literature. The analyses of individual novels reveal a variety of intriguing views of myth in Modernity, and offer an insight into the "modernizing" transformations myth has undergone when applied in the modern novel. The study shows the presence of the "subconscious", the mythic layer, in modern western culture and how this has been dealt with in novelistic literature.
Intermediality in European Avant-garde Cinema
The book proposes a new perspective on avant-garde cinema, utilising approaches from intermediality to explore how the spirit of experimentation, a hallmark of historical avant-garde and post-war artistic movements, is still present in contemporary filmmaking today. The volume explores how contemporary avant-garde filmmakers have brought innovation to modern cinema. Filmmakers, such as, Jean-Luc Godard, Lars von Trier, and Alexander Sokurov and their contemporary works will be analyzed, reflecting on their experimentation with cinematic techniques and the mixing of the film medium with other media, such as literature, theatre, and painting. Important research questions considered throughout ...
The McCartney Legacy
The follow-up to The McCartney Legacy, Volume 1, the most complete work on the life and work of Paul McCartney ever published. Volume 2 continues to paint the portrait of one of the world’s greatest musicians, his work post-Beatles, and his life from 1974 to 1980. By 1974 the Beatles were a distant memory, and Paul McCartney had already gone on to release a solo album and form a new band, Wings. By the end of the decade Wings would be the bestselling band of the 1970s. The McCartney Legacy, Vol. 2 begins in 1974 at the height of Wings popularity and the beginning of McCartney’s next chapter. Picking up immediately after The McCartney Legacy, Volume 1, authors Allan Kozinn and Adrian Sinclair have brought the same exhaustive research ethos to Volume 2 that made the first volume a critical success. Arguably the most authoritative text on the life of Paul McCartney, Volume 2 follows McCartney the man, establishing himself as a musician beyond Beatlemania and his legacy throughout the 20th century through the present day.
