Disruption in the Arts
The volume examines from a comparative perspective the phenomenon of aesthetic disruption within the various arts in contemporary culture. It assumes that the political potential of contemporary art is not solely derived from presenting its audiences with openly political content, but rather from creating a space of perception and interaction using formal means: a space that makes hegemonic structures of action and communication observable, thus problematizing their self-evidence. The contributions conceptualize historical and contemporary politics of form in the media, which aim to be more than mere shock strategies, which are concerned not just with the ‘narcissistic’ exhibition of art...

First Letters After Exile by Thomas Mann, Hannah Arendt, Ernst Bloch, and Others
In the study of the National Socialist State and its aftermath, two unusual aspects continue to occupy historians and social science commentators. First, a factor important enough to enter into the very definition of totalitarianism is the thoroughgoing mobilization, coercive if needed, of the population of writers, teachers, professors journalists and other intellectual workers, securing cooperation – or at the least passive concurrence – in the mass-inculcation of the population in the destructive Fascist ideology. Second is the central place of dissident members of these populations in the exile. Since webs of communications with others, the majority of whom had remained in Germany, had constituted their own memberships in the populations at issue, the question of their roles in the post-war era depended importantly on the ways and means by which they restored – or refused to restore – communications with those who had remained.

Sexueller Missbrauch in Familie und Institutionen
Sexueller Missbrauch findet sowohl im familiären Kontext als auch in Institutionen statt. Er bedeutet immer Machtmissbrauch an Kindern und Jugendlichen, die auf Schutz und Fürsorge in tragfähigen Beziehungen angewiesen sind. Nach Bekanntwerden von Missbrauchsskandalen und nachfolgenden Aufdeckungs- und Verarbeitungswellen wird das Thema in der Öffentlichkeit und in Fachkreisen diskutiert. Je mehr Wissen zur Opfer-Täter- und Institutionsdynamik sowie über Richtlinien zur Prävention sexuellen Missbrauchs in Institutionen und den entsprechenden gesetzlichen Grundlagen vorhanden ist, desto eher wird professionell reagiert und reflektiert. Das Buch liefert dafür notwendiges Grundwissen zur Psychodynamik und veranschaulicht anhand von Fallbeispielen aus unterschiedlichen Institutionen wirksame Maßnahmen zur Intervention und Prävention.
