Erlesenes von Georg Ruppelt
Sie ist eine Institution genau wie ihr Autor: Die Glosse unseres langjährigen und verdienten Autors Dr. Georg Ruppelt in unserer Fachzeitschrift b.i.t.online. Seit dem Heft 1/2009 erfahren wir in den Glossen von Georg Ruppelt in jeder Ausgabe von b.i.t.online Neues, Amüsantes und Lesenswertes aus der bunten Welt der Bibliotheken und ihrer Bestände: also aus der Literatur schlechthin. Die Beiträge unseres Glossisten haben meist einen historischen Rahmen. Es sind häufig Rückblicke und Eindrücke. Immer jedoch stellt Georg Ruppelt einen Bezug her zur Gegenwart, zu aktuellen Fragen unserer Profession oder zu einem anderen, aktuell diskutierten Thema. Hin und wieder nahm uns der Glossist au...
Der Stille auf der Spur
Die Autorin untersucht aus persönlicher Perspektive – gestützt auch durch chronologische Geräuschaufzeichnungen und die Kartierung von Geräuschquellen – in ihrer ethnografischen Arbeit Geräuschkulissen, (innen-)architektonische Aspekte wie Raumgestaltung und Einrichtung, Lärmregulierung durch die Einrichtung bzw. Selbstregulierung. Am Beispiel von zehn Bibliotheken in Großbritannien und Deutschland zeigt sie auf, mit welchen Mitteln Bibliotheken eine akustische Zonierung zu erreichen versuchen und welche unterschiedlichen Lösungen zur Schaffung von verschiedenen Ruhezonen gewählt werden, um den Ansprüchen der Nutzer gerecht zu werden.
Life after Tragedy
Much has been written on the centenary of the First World War; however, no book has yet explored the tragedy of the conflict from a theological perspective. This book fills that gap. Taking their cue from the famous British army chaplain Geoffrey Studdert Kennedy, seven central essays--all by authors associated with the cathedral where Studdert Kennedy first preached to troops--examine aspects of faith that featured in the war, such as the notion of "home," poetry, theological doctrine, preaching, social reform, humanitarianism, and remembrance. Each essay applies its reflections to the life of faith today. The essays thus represent a highly original contribution to the history of the First ...
We are the Machine
An investigation of attitudes toward -- and unease with -- Information Technology, as reflected in recent German-language literature. Despite our embrace of the sheer utility and productivity it has made possible, the revolution in Information Technology has led to unease about its possible misuse, abuse, and even its eventual domination of humankind. That German culture is not immune to this sense of disquiet is reflected in a broad variety of German-language fiction since the 1940s. This first study of the literary reception of IT in German-speaking lands begins with an analysis of a seminal novel from the beginning of the computer age, Heinrich Hauser's Gigant Hirn (1948), then moves to i...

The Politics of Aesthetics
This book suggests that modern cultural and critical institutions have persistently associated questions of aesthetics and politics with literature, theory, technics, and Romanticism. Its first section examines aesthetic nationalism and the figure of the body, focusing on writings by Benedict Anderson, J. G. Fichte, and Matthew Arnold, and arguing that uneasy acts of aestheticization (of media technology) and abjection (of the maternal body) undergird the production of the national body as “imagined community.” Subsequent chapters on Paul de Man, Friedrich Schlegel, and Percy Shelley explore the career of the gendered body in the aesthetic tradition and the relationship among aesthetics, technics, politics, and figurative language. The author accounts for the hysteria that has characterized media representations of theory, explains why and how Romanticism has remained a locus of extravagant political hopes and anxieties, and, in a sequence of close readings, uncovers the “anaesthetic” condition of possibility of the politics of aesthetics.
The Politics of Literature in Nazi Germany
This is the most comprehensive account to date of literary politics in Nazi Germany and of the institutions, organizations and people who controlled German literature during the Third Reich. Barbian details a media dictatorship-involving the persecution and control of writers, publishers and libraries, but also voluntary assimilation and pre-emptive self-censorship-that began almost immediately under the National Socialists, leading to authors' forced declarations of loyalty, literary propaganda, censorship, and book burnings. Special attention is given to Nazi regulation of the publishing industry and command over all forms of publication and dissemination, from the most presitigious publishing houses to the smallest municipal and school libraries. Barbian also shows that, although the Nazis censored books not in line with Party aims, many publishers and writers took advantage of loopholes in their system of control. Supporting his work with exhaustive research of original sources, Barbian describes a society in which everybody who was not openly opposed to it, participated in the system, whether as a writer, an editor, or even as an ordinary visitor to a library.
Early Printed Books as Material Objects
The papers collected in this volume discuss descriptive methods and present conclusions relevant for the history of the book production and reception. Books printed in Europe in the 15th and 16th century still had much in common with manuscripts. They are not mere textual sources, but also material objects whose physical make-up and individual features need to be taken into account in library projects for cataloguing and digitization.
