German Women's Writing in the Twenty-first Century
Essays in this volume rethink conventional ways of conceptualizing female authorship and re-examine the formal, aesthetic, and thematic terms in which German women's literature has been conceived.
Epistemic Justice and Creative Agency
Foundational theories of epistemic justice, such as Miranda Fricker's, have cited literary narratives to support their case. But why have those narratives in particular provided the resource that was needed? And is cultural production always supportive of epistemic justice? This essay collection, written by experts in literary, philosophical, and cultural studies working in conversation with each other across a range of global contexts, expands the emerging field of epistemic injustice studies. The essays analyze the complex relationship between narrative, aesthetics, and epistemic (in)justice, referencing texts, film, and other forms of cultural production. The authors present, without seeking to synthesize, perspectives on how justice and injustice are narratively and aesthetically produced. This volume by no means wants to say the last word on epistemic justice and creative agency. The intention is to open out a productive new field of study, at a time when understanding the workings of injustice and possibilities for justice seems an ever more urgent project.

Are Books Still 'Different'?
The famous 1962 precedent at the Restrictive Practices Court of the United Kingdom, 'Books are different,' is still the reasoning behind many cultural policies around the world, building on longstanding assumptions surrounding 'the book'. As this suggests, the 'difference' of the book as a unique form of cultural (rather than economic) production has acquired a powerful status. But are books still different? In (somewhat provocatively) asking this question from a network-oriented and interdisciplinary perspective (book studies/literary studies), this Element inquires into the notion of 'difference' in relation to books. Challenging common notions of 'bibliodiversity,' it reconsiders the lack of diversity in the publishing industry. It also engages with the diversifying potentials of the digital literary sphere, offering a case study of Bernardine Evaristo's industry activities and activism, the Element concludes with thoughts on bookishness, affect and networked practice. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
The Short Story in German in the Twenty-first Century
Since the 1990s, the short story has re-emerged in the German-speaking world as a vibrant literary genre. This volume aims to establish a framework for further research into this rich field. The introduction and six thematic chapters discuss theories of the short-story form, literary-aesthetic questions, and key trends in the twenty-first century. Seven chapters on significant literary figures from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland then offer a range of theoretical and thematic approaches to individual stories and collections. Finally, two original translations showcase contemporary short-story writing in German.
Research Handbook on Intellectual Property and Cultural Heritage
This important Research Handbook offers a comprehensive analysis of the intersections between intellectual property (IP) and cultural heritage law. It explores and compares how both have evolved and sometimes converged over time, how they increased tremendously in significance, as well as in economic value, despite the fact that the former mainly pertains to the private sphere, whilst the latter is considered a ‘common good’.
Global eBook 2017
The Global eBook Report 2017 is highlighting, and measuring the relevant international trends: - Tracking main market developments and the diversity of relevant drivers in North and South America, Europe, and Asia; - The segmentation of book markets in print and digital; - European ebook markets in great and previously unavailable detail, based on in depth data provided by leading distributors; - Ebooks in the context of the overall transformation in international publishing; - Global players, and their impact on re-shaping the international business of books. By 2017, ebooks are so much more than yet another format and edition of printed books. Instead, in a global perspective, with in depth data analysis allow a realistic and precise understanding of how consumer publishing has become a highly diverse and segmented business, with hugely different developments in the big English language countries, in continental Europe and in emerging economies.
Ein Predigerbruder, der Seuse hieß
Der dritte Band des Heinrich-Seuse-Forums "Ein Predigerbruder, der Seuse hieß" bietet sieben Beiträge aus dem Themenfeld der Schriften und der Spiritualität Heinrich Seuses. Alle Aufsätze entstammen der Festschrift "Heinrich Seuse, Studien zum 600.

Auf einhelligen Rat und Zustimmung maßgeblicher Fachautoritäten haben wir uns zu einer ausgewählten Neuausgabe entschlossen. Weitere Mitarbeiter an diesem Band sind: Sr. Nikola Richter OSB, Dr. Burkhard Talebitari.
