Classical Concert Studies
Classical Concert Studies: A Companion to Contemporary Research and Performance is a landmark publication that maps out a new interdisciplinary field of Concert Studies, offering fresh ways of understanding the classical music concert in the twenty-first century. It brings together essays, research articles, and case studies from scholars and music professionals including musicians, music managers, and concert designers. Gathering both historical and contemporary cases, the contributors draw on approaches from sociology, ethnology, musicology, cultural studies, and other disciplines to create a rich portrait of the classical concert’s past, present, and future. Based on two earlier volumes published in German under the title Das Konzert (The Concert), and with a selection of new chapters written for the English edition, this companion enables students, researchers, and practitioners in the classical and contemporary music fields to understand this emerging field of research, go beyond traditional disciplinary boundaries and methodologies, and spark a renaissance for the classical concert.
Non-Visitor Research
Although many studies are available on visitors to cultural institutions, the infrequent or non-visitors are largely unexplored. However, they make up the majority of the population. Their motivation for not visiting is therefore the focus of this volume. This volume provides an in-depth overview of the international state of nonvisitor research. Building on this, extensive quantitative and qualitative analyses are conducted on reasons for non-visitation. This is followed by an empirically based, practice-oriented theory of visitor attraction. The authors thus present the first comprehensive work on non-visitor research in Germany. This book is a translation of the original German 1st editio...
Theatre in Transformation
Are artists seismographs during processes of transformation? Is theatre a mirror of society? And how does it influence society offstage? To address these questions, this collection brings together analyses of cultural policy in post-apartheid South Africa and actors of the performing arts discussing political theatre and cultural activism. Case studies grant inside views of the State Theatre in Pretoria, the Market Theatre in Johannesburg and the Baxter Theatre in Cape Town, followed by a documentation of panel discussions on the Soweto Theatre. The texts collected here bring to the surface new faces and voices who advance the performing arts with their images and lexicons revolving around topics such as patriarchy, femicide and xenophobia.

Handbuch zur Evaluation
Ziel dieses Buches ist es, kompakt und nutzerfreundlich Grundkenntnisse für die Planung, Durchführung und Anwendung von Evaluationen zu vermitteln. Hierfür greift es auf die inhaltlichen Konzepte und Unterlagen zahlreicher Kurse zur Evaluation im In- und Ausland zurück.

Es dient sowohl Personen, die Evaluationen selbst durchführen als auch Entscheidungsträgern, die Evaluationen in Auftrag geben, aber auch denjenigen, die evaluiert werden. Alle Beteiligten an einer Evaluation sollten wissen, welche Charakteristika und Standards eine professionell und kompetent durchgeführte Evaluation auszeichnen. Die zweite Auflage wurde vollständig überarbeitet und um ein Kapitel zum Monitoring und einen Einblick in den politischen Kontext erweitert.
