STRENGTH THROUGH CRISES
In the year 2000, Marc Wallert, along with 20 other hostages, was kidnapped by terrorists and held captive in the Philippine jungle for 140 days. In this book, he recounts the survival strategies he employed and the lessons he learned from this harrowing experience. With brutal honesty, he also describes other life setbacks, including his burnout, underlining the fact that the strategies that helped him can also assist others in challenging times: the mental fortitude known as resilience. Resilience, though proven effective time and again, has seldom been discussed in such a riveting manner.
Mass-Mediated Terrorism
Mass-Mediated Terrorism, Second Edition, an in-depth look at terrorism, political violence, and mass media, shows how terrorists exploit global media networks and information highways to carry news of their violence along with "propaganda of the deed." To what extent is the media advancing or obstructing the propaganda and policy goals of terrorists and their targets? Has the Internet strengthened the hands of terrorists to organize, recruit, and spread propaganda? How have targets of terrorism used the media to manipulate public opinion and advance their own agendas? From U.S. cases to incidents abroad, this award-winning book explores the use of political violence for the sake of publicity...
Conflict in Moro land: Prospects for Peace? (Penerbit USM)
The civil war in the Islamic Southern Philippines is one of the longest-lasting conflicts in Southeast Asia.This book dates back to a workshop on that conflict at the Department of Political Science of the University of Gottingen, Germany. The particular interest in the Moro conflict in Gottingen is due to the fact that a family from that city was among those tourists who were kidnapped in Sipadan (Malaysia) by the Abu Sayyaf group in spring 2000 and held hostage on the island of Jolo (Sulu) for almost half a year. Although the geographical and cultural backgrounds of most of the contributors to this volume differ from the parties involved in the conflict, the editors hope that this volume offers adequate views, theoretical approaches, and methodologies, which prove helpful in understanding and eventually ameliorating the conditions of the people living in "Moro land".
Medien und Geiselnahmen
Christian Buck untersucht die Rolle der Medien bei einer Geiselnahme. Selten hat ein Fall so viel mediale Aufmerksamkeit erzeugt wie die Entführung der Göttinger Familie Wallert auf die philippinische Insel Jolo im Jahr 2000. Er wird hier aus verschiedenen Blickwinkeln - reales Geschehen, Medienberichterstattung und Regierungshandeln - umfangreich rekonstruiert und mit anderen Fällen verglichen: den "Sahara-Geiseln" in Algerien und Mali 2003, der Entführung von Susanne Osthoff im Irak 2005 und der Besetzung der US-Botschaft in Teheran 1979-81. Aus einer konstruktivistischen Perspektive wird anhand dieser Beobachtungen gezeigt, wie die Rolle der Medien den Handlungsrahmen von Regierungen einschränkt. Der Autor zeigt auch, wie Regierung und Medien ihre durchaus unterschiedlichen Aufgaben in einer solchen Situation erfüllen können.

The Man In The Fairy Tale Isle (Colored Version)
This is the life story of a man who caused a zoological sensation in the late sixties, being the first and only one who located the extremely rare and endangered Mountain Tapir in the jungles of South America. One of the last great collectors of wildlife and respected in the elite field of zoology, Martin Stummer had lived a dangerous and exciting life among unexplored jungle tribes, encountered bizarre sexual rituals and experienced the magical power of trees and their revelations. At the peak of his career, he gave up wildlife collection and retired to a small tropical island somewhere in the Indo-Pacific Ocean to build his own "fairy tale kingdom." Europeans might have seen him in ARD, ZDF, RTL and many other television stations while being interviewed about his exotic island NAGARAO where strange stories abound.
@-Theologie
@-Theologie ist eine Theologie der Medien bzw. der medienvermittelten Kommunikation, also eine Spielart der relationalen Theologie; sie diskutiert Probleme, Chancen und spezifische Aufgaben der Theologie in der globalisierten Informations- und Medienkultur und arbeitet die theologischen Herausforderungen und Anknüpfungspunkte von Medientheorien heraus. Der christliche Narrativ, sein Verständnis von Wirklichkeit als Widerständigkeit wird mit der nichtlinearen Struktur des Hypertextes und der Internet-Links sowie der Performativität virtueller Räume konfrontiert. Mit dem eingekreisten "a" bezeichnen die Psychoanalytiker J. Lacan und S. Žižek die Objekte a, Objekte des Begehrens. @-Theol...
