There are Two German States and Two Must Remain?
In the night of 9 November the images of thousands of Eastern Germans pouring into Berlin security checkpoints at Bernauerstraße and West Berliners knocking the first brick out of the Wall literally travelled around the world. More than any other frontier, the division of Berlin as its physical representation epitomized in peoples mind the ultimate sign of the division of Europe into spheres of influence. More than any other event in Central Eastern Europe, the Berlin Walls demolition contributed to reshape both geographical maps and ideological camps. It is, therefore, not in the least surprising that these events captured the attention of millions of Europeans, ranging from present-day ob...
Towards a Philosophy of Cinematography
This book presents three interrelated essays about cinematography which offer a theoretical understanding of the ways that film practitioners orchestrate light in today’s post-digital context. Cinematography is a practice at the heart of film production which traditionally involves the control of light and camera technologies to creatively capture moving imagery. During recent years, the widespread adoption of digital processes in cinematography has received a good deal of critical attention from practitioners and scholars alike, however little specific consideration about evolving lighting practices can be found amongst this discourse. Drawing on new-materialist ideas, actor-network theory and the concept of co-creativity, these essays examine the impact of changing production processes for the role and responsibilities of a cinematographer with a specific focus on lighting. Each essay advances a new perspective on the discipline, moving from the notion of light as vision to light as material, from technology as a tool to technology as a network, and from cinematography as an industry to cinematography as a collaborative art.
The Militant Middle Ages
In The Militant Middle Ages, historian Tommaso di Carpegna Falconieri delves into common perceptions of the Middle Ages and how these views shape contemporary political contexts. Today more than ever, the medieval era is mined from across the political spectrum for symbols, examples, allegories, and models to represent and interpret the present. From “new crusades” to fantasy literature and cosplay, from Catholic Traditionalism to environmentalism, from neo-Vikings to medieval tourism and festivals, Carpegna Falconieri leads us in an impassioned and often disquieting journey through the “Modern Middle Ages.” The first book-length study dedicated to the broad phenomenon of political medievalism, The Militant Middle Ages offers a new lens for scrutinizing contemporary society through its instrumentalization of the medieval past. First published in Italian as Medioevo militante. La politica di oggi alle prese con barbari e crociati - © 2011 Giulio Einaudi editore s.p.a., Torino.

Im Brennpunkt
Das Schicksal literarischer Übersetzungen wird von einer Vielfalt von Faktoren bestimmt. ÜbersetzerInnen und ihre translationstheoretischen Überzeugungen sowie die oft präzisen Vorgaben von Verlagen - z.B. bezüglich Umfang der Publikation, Anmerkungsapparat, sprachlicher Färbung - haben erheblichen Einfluss auf die Gestalt der Texte. Deren Rezeption wiederum wird nachhaltig etwa durch Besprechungen in der Presse oder durch wichtige Auszeichnungen, die einem/r Übersetzer/in verliehen werden, gesteuert. Die Beiträge illustrieren das Zusammenwirken solcher Aspekte an unterschiedlichen Konstellationen, wobei das Panorama der Texte von antiken Klassikern über frühneuzeitliche Reiseberichte bis zu zeitgenössischer Höhenkammliteratur - z.B. Elfriede Jelinek - reicht. Das Spektrum der Zielsprachen umfasst neben Deutsch auch Italienisch und die Kreolsprache Papiamentu.

Seelenpfade
Als Journalist jettete Sebastian Schoepp zwei Jahrzehnte lang rastlos durch die Welt. Bis er eine Depression in sich hochkriechen spürt und sich fragt: Brauche ich das? Geht es nicht auch langsamer? Er beginnt, Deutschland zu Fuß zu erkunden und findet auf den einsamen Höhen der Mittelgebirge, abseits der touristischen Hotspots, nicht nur seine Seelenpfade - sondern im Vorbeigehen auch die Antwort auf allerlei Fragen: Wer hat das Wandern erfunden? Wie entstehen eigentlich Pfade? Warum tut Wandern so gut in Zeiten des Beschleunigungsdiktats? Und ist langsames Gehen gar ein subversiver Akt, eine Art stiller Protest gegen das Immermehr, das unseren Planeten an den Rand des Kollapses gebracht hat? So wird aus dem schrulligen Hobby der erste Schritt in ein neues, bewussteres Leben.
