After the strikingly beautiful Peony Pavilion, how could one write about love and the ideal of emotional authenticity (qing) in the chuanqi genre? This book presents a group of creative dramatists who confronted this challenge by giving the romantic theme of chuanqi their unique comic twists.

By highlighting the crucial but understudied role that the comic plays, this book enriches our understanding of the intellectual depth and critical scope of the chuanqi genre.
The first book of poems by the great Japanese surrealist to be published in English In 1923, Shuzo Takiguchi’s first year at Tokyo’s Keio University was cut short by the Great Kanto Earthquake, which nearly destroyed the Japanese capital.

He eventually became a major Japanese artistic and cultural figure whose collected works number fourteen volumes. In A Kiss for the Absolute, Mary Jo Bang...

Die Digitale Transformation führt zu tiefgreifenden Veränderungen in Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft, wobei Leadership eine zentrale Rolle spielt. Die Partizipation von Frauen an der Gestaltung der Digitalisierung, insbesondere auf Führungsebene, ist hierbei essenziell. In diesem Zusammenhang werden neben der Diskussion des Begriffs des Female Leadership auch Führungsstile von Frauen, ihre Karrierepfade, Persönlichkeitseigenschaften, Kompetenzen sowie die vielfältigen Einflussfaktoren analysiert. Denn weibliche Führungskräfte sehen sich sowohl hemmenden als auch förderlichen Einflussfaktoren gegenüber, weshalb Maßnahmen auf gesellschaftlich-struktureller, branchenspezifischer, organisationaler und individueller Ebene erforderlich sind, um den Frauenanteil in Führungspositionen zu erhöhen. Dieses Buch liefert dazu Handlungsempfehlungen.

Eye health is an important part of public health. It is estimated that more than 40 million people are blind and more than 550 million people suffer from mild to severe visual impairment by 2020.
