Science Centres and Science Events
The idea for this text stemmed from the fruitful experience gathered during the training course of 9 Nigerian university students organized in Naples from 3 to 18 September 2008 by the team of Fondazione IDIS-Città della Scienza under the project Science Centre Owerri. The training course turned out to be not only an educational opportunity to acquire knowledge and skills for these students, but also a real and practical tool that later led to the realization of the first Science Festival of Owerri in Nigeria in May 2009. This in turn sparked the idea of creating a highly practical handbook for those who want to face the challenge of developing new projects for the dissemination and sociali...
The Sustainable Museum
The Sustainable Museum is the first book to outline a coherent strategy for the direction of museums, as it relates to sustainability in the museum and heritage sector. Arguing that museums must place sustainability at the centre of all their activities, if they are to become key actors with a clear societal role, Garthe considers the issues that museums will likely face as they take on their new roles. Presenting case studies from a wide range of museums around the world, the book considers different ways of implementing sustainability in different types and sizes of institutions. Whilst the book clearly outlines the need for change, it also provides guidance about how to change. Garthe doe...
Knowledge Capitalism
In his newest book, Stehr builds on his classic book Knowledge Societies (1994) to expand the concept toward one of knowledge capitalism for a now, much-changed era. It is not only because of the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic that we are living in a new epoch; it is the idea that modern societies increasingly constitute comprehensive knowledge societies under intensive capitalism, whereby the legal encoding of knowledge through national and international law is the lever that enables the transformation of the knowledge society into knowledge capitalism. The Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights agreement, negotiated between 1986 and 1994 as part of the World Trade Organization, is the backbone of the modern society and marks a clear historical demarcation, and although knowledge capitalism is primarily an economic development, the digital giants who are in the driver’s seat have significant effects on the social structure and culture of modern society.
Das nachhaltige Museum
Nachhaltigkeit muss zum zentralen Bezugspunkt in der Museumspraxis werden - programmatisch, ökologisch und gesellschaftlich. In 17 illustrierten Kapiteln zeigt Christopher Garthe, wie das geht, und liefert den Bezugsrahmen für eine umfassende Beschäftigung mit Nachhaltigkeit in Museen und Ausstellungen. Dazu vereint er die Darstellung konkreter Instrumente mit Eigenschaften eines Nachschlagewerks und übersetzt die vom ICOM initiierte Diskussion um die Zukunft des Museums in das erste vollständige Kompendium zum nachhaltigen Museum. Vom Facility-Management bis zur Kunstvermittlung, von nachhaltiger Konservierung bis zur Citizen Science - das Museum der Zukunft muss sich neu erfinden.
Wissenskapitalismus
Moderne Wissensgesellschaften nehmen die Gestalt des Wissenskapitalismus an. Obwohl es sich bei diesem in erster Linie um eine wirtschaftliche Entwicklung handelt, besteht der begründete Verdacht, dass er erhebliche Auswirkungen auf die soziale Struktur und die Kultur der modernen Gesellschaft hat. Dennoch ist eine zukunftsfähige und nachhaltige Gesellschaft, die keine breit aufgestellte Wissensgesellschaft ist, kaum vorstellbar. Die komplexen kulturellen, sozio-ökonomischen, ökologischen und politischen Probleme der modernen Gesellschaft als Wissenskapitalismus werden in Nico Stehrs Studie im Detail analysiert.
Better Together
The Holiday meets The Parent Trap in this clever comedic whirlwind brimming with romance, and just a touch of magic. Estranged sisters Jamie and Siri are quarter-life crisis-ing: hard. With adulthood breathing down their necks, suddenly their promising career aspirations feel way out of reach, and romance — completely implausible. After thirteen years apart, on opposite coasts, the sisters run into each other at a nature retreat. Desperate for a change of pace, they decide to go home in each other’s stead to see how the other half lives. It doesn't take long to realize: swapping lives might be more than they bargained for. Turns out, pretending to be a sister you hardly know can really complicate your previously non-existent love life. Navigating their new surroundings proves to be a precarious task, but turns out there’s no better way to learn about yourself than by trying to live as someone else.
