The Homosexuality of Men and Women
One of the founders of the scientific study of sex, Magnus Hirschfeld (1868-1935) led the field with his pioneering objective examinations of homosexuality, tranvestism, and gender identity. "The Homosexuality of Men and Women" was designed to provide a unified, comprehensive description of homosexuality while ridding heterosexuals of gay prejudice and allowing homosexuals to confront their isolation and accept themselves. Opening with a definition and a detailed biological discussion of sexual orientation, including the childhood and adolescent phases, Hirschfeld addresses the physical, mental, and emotional life of homosexuals while explaining the inborn nature of homosexuality and bisexuality. In the second half of the book, Hirschfeld looks at sociology, community life, bonding, roles in society, history, persecution, victimisation, and the law. His documentation of gays in the miliary and the "new technology" of his day -- such as the telephone and aeroplanes and their affect on the lives of homosexuals -- offers farsighted observations that strongly parallel today's national debates and new developments.
Chinese Film Festivals
This book is the first anthology of research devoted to the booming world of Chinese film festivals, covering both mainstream and independent films.

The book asks how Chinese film festivals function as sites of translation, translating Chinese culture to the world and world culture to Chinese-speaking audiences, and also how the international film festival model is being transformed as it is translated into the Chinese-speaking world.

Der Feind im Innern
Psychotherapeutinnen und Psychotherapeuten, die mit Gewaltüberlebenden arbeiten, müssen sich auch mit den bösartigen Gedanken-, Gefühls- und Verhaltenszwängen ihrer Klienten beschäftigen – mit ihren Täterintrojekten. Während sich Wissenschaftler darüber streiten, ob nicht alle Gewalttäter „krank“ seien und eher in die Forensik als ins Gefängnis gehörten, ringen Therapeuten darum, Wege der Integration für ihre Klientinnen zu finden: Wie lassen sich zerstörerische Impulse unter Kontrolle bringen? Welche Möglichkeiten gibt es, rechtzeitig zu verhindern, dass jemand zum Täter wird? Michaela Huber bündelt in diesem Buch ihre Erfahrungen, die sie mit traumatisierten Menschen gemacht hat. In eigenen Texten und in zahlreichen Interviews mit Fachkolleginnen und -kollegen und Betroffenen ergründet sie, wie das „innere Monster“ denkt, was „die dunkle Seite“ will und wie der „Feind im Innern“ funktioniert. Und sie fragt, wie man ihn zur inneren Kooperation bewegen kann, damit er sich vom Zerstörer in einen inneren Beschützer verwandelt, der sich nicht mehr gewalttätig äußern muss.
Buying Respectability
In 19th-century Leipzig, Toronto, New York, and Boston, a newly emergent group of industrialists and entrepreneurs entered into competition with older established elite groups for social recognition as well as cultural and political leadership. The competition was played out on the field of philanthropy, with the North American community gathering ideas from Europe about the establishment of cultural and public institutions. For example, to secure financing for their new museum, the founders of the Metropolitan Museum of Art organized its membership and fundraising on the model of German art museums. The process of cultural borrowing and intercultural transfer shaped urban landscapes with the building of new libraries, museums, and social housing projects. An important contribution to the relatively new field of transnational history, this book establishes philanthropy as a prime example of the conversion of economic resources into social and cultural capital.
