„Stell Dir vor, es ist 1942 auf Instagram …“
Historisches ist in sozialen Medien omnipräsent. Doch bislang stellt die Erforschung der Rezeption geschichtskultureller Phänomene in den sozialen Medien ein Desiderat dar. Die vorliegende Arbeit widmet sich diesem Desiderat und analysiert die Kontroverse um den Instagram-Kanal ichbinsophiescholl. Dabei geht diese Arbeit zunächst der Frage nach, wie dieser Kanal eine Geschichte Sophie Scholls und der Weißen Rose (re-)konstruiert. Anschließend wird anhand von Instagram-Kommentaren und Tweets untersucht, wie Nutzer:innen diese Repräsentationsform von Historischem rezipieren.
Geschichtskulturelle Transformationen
Historisches ist in der Öffentlichkeit omnipräsent und zugleich oft heftig umstritten. Geschichtskultur ist daher keine monolithische Einheit, sondern Ausdruck heterogener Orientierungs- und Identitätsbedürfnisse. Fortwährend konfrontieren uns verschiedene geschichtskulturelle Akteur:innen mit Historischem, stellen konkurrierende historische Deutungen zur Diskussion und tragen so dazu bei, dass Geschichtsvorstellungen sich immer wieder verändern. Diese Transformationsprozesse betreffen nicht nur bestimmte Themen, Konzepte und Kategorien, sondern auch das Selbstverständnis der Historiographie als akademischer Disziplin im Spannungsfeld von Wissenschaft, Politik und Öffentlichkeit. Der vorliegende Band thematisiert Bereiche der Geschichtskultur, die in jüngerer Zeit besonders starke Transformationen erfahren haben. Dabei werden sowohl Kontroversen in den Blick genommen, die sich daran entzündet haben, als auch die Akteur:innen und (Zeit-)Praktiken, die Teil dieser Veränderungen sind.
Cull of the Wild
LONGLISTED FOR THE WAINWRIGHT PRIZE FOR WRITING ON CONSERVATION Investigating the ethical and practical challenges of one of the greatest threats to biodiversity: invasive species. Across the world, invasive species pose a danger to ecosystems. The UN Convention on Biological Diversity ranks them as a major threat to biodiversity on par with habitat loss, climate change and pollution. Tackling this isn't easy, and no one knows this better than Hugh Warwick, a conservationist who loathes the idea of killing, harming or even eating animals. Yet as an ecologist, he is acutely aware of the need, at times, to kill invasive species whose presence harms the wider environment. Hugh explores the comp...
Celebrating the Past and Future of Marketing and Discovery with Social Impact
For the 50th Anniversary of the Academy of Marketing Science, the 2021 AMS Annual Conference and Marketing World Congress celebrates the history of marketing while also exploring its future. This includes research on possible new theory discoveries and findings that could lead to more efficient and impactful responses by marketers to the current multi-faceted global challenge array. The volume proposes that marketers strive to continue to offer value in a socially responsible way to the consumers within. Articles in this volume explore the influence of marketing innovations leveraged by the rising influence of artificial intelligence, virtual reality, mechanamorphics, a proliferation of data...
State-of-the-Art Upcycling Research and Practice
This book presents the proceedings of the first International Upcycling Symposium 2020, held on 4th September 2020 at De Montfort University (DMU) in Leicester, UK (online), as a joint effort between DMU, Lund University, Nottingham Trent University and Newcastle University. This book presents state of the art of research and practice in “upcycling” at the international level. The subject of this book, upcycling, is a term to describe the processes of creating or modifying a product from used or waste materials, components and products, which is of equal or higher quality or value than the compositional elements. This book describes new theories, approaches and scientific research findin...
Storying Multipolar Climes of the Himalaya, Andes and Arctic
This book initiates multipolar climate/clime studies of the world’s altitudinal and latitudinal highlands with terrestrial, experiential, and affective approaches. Framed in the environmental humanities, it is an interdisciplinary, comparative study of the mutually-embodied relations of climate, nature, culture, and place in the Himalaya, Andes, and Arctic. Innovation-driven, the book offers multipolar clime case studies through the contributors’ historical findings, ethnographic documentations, and diverse conceptualizations and applications of clime, an overlooked but returning notion of place embodied with climate history, pattern, and changes. The multipolar clime case studies in the...
World Development Report 2013
Jobs provide higher earnings and better benefits as countries grow, but they are also a driver of development. Poverty falls as people work their way out of hardship and as jobs empowering women lead to greater investments in children. Efficiency increases as workers get better at what they do, as more productive jobs appear, and less productive ones disappear. Societies flourish as jobs bring together people from different ethnic and social backgrounds and provide alternatives to conflict. Jobs are thus more than a byproduct of economic growth. They are transformational —they are what we earn, what we do, and even who we are. High unemployment and unmet job expectations among youth are th...
Advances in Endophytic Fungal Research
Plant endophytes are a potential source for the production of bioactive compounds that can fight against devastating diseases in both plants and humans. Among these endophytic microorganisms, endophytic fungi are one of the dominant group of microorganisms with a potential role in plant growth promotion and the discovery of noble bioactive natural products. Endophytic fungi possess several bioactivities like anticancer, antimicrobial, insecticidal, plant growth stimulants, crop protection, phytoremediation, etc. Presence of modular biosynthetic genes clusters like PKS and NRPS in several endophytic fungi underscores the need to understand and explore such organisms. This volume presents and ...
From Ethnic to Transnational
In the transnational world, travel and migratory movements result in new and highly complex human interactions between cultures. This study focuses on the personal relationships that emerge as Indian American families make their home in the United States and attempt to cope with challenging cultural differences. The analyses of Mira Nair's Mississippi Masala (1991) and The Namesake (2006), as well as Nisha Ganatra's Chutney Popcorn (1999) illustrate how transnational films reinforce, but also effectively subvert, established cultural practices and the conventions of Hollywood cinema to mediate the influences of the ethnic.
