Crisis Cinema in the Middle East
In recent years, the Arab world and Iran have been afflicted by cataclysmic events, among them brutal state crackdowns of revolutions. Yet, filmmakers have persisted in their desire to tell their stories, against the odds, in creative acts that attest to their imagination, courage and resilience. In this book, Shohini Chaudhuri examines a broad range of films made during the tumultuous period since 2009, ranging from internationally award-winning festival favourites, such as For Sama (2019), Capernaum (2018) and Taxi Tehran (2015), to lesser-known films from the region. While freedom of expression is often understood through the lens of state censorship, she reveals the different types of ob...
Asghar Farhadi
The winner of two Academy Awards for Best Foreign Film in only five years, Asghar Farhadi (b. 1972) has become Iran’s most prominent director since the late Abbas Kiarostami. Around the world, especially in the international festival circuit, Farhadi is considered one of the great dramatist filmmakers of his generation.

This volume offers a unique perspective into Farhadi's career in several key respects. Beginning with his work in television, the interviews collected here chart his rise from theater student to Iranian dramatist to celebra...
Das Schätzen von Längen und Fassungsvermögen
Lisa-Marleen Heid widmet sich der anspruchsvollen kognitiven Tätigkeit des Schätzens und untersucht, welche Strategien Viertklässlerinnen und Viertklässler nutzen, um unterschiedliche Aufgaben zum Schätzen von Längen und Fassungsvermögen zu lösen. Dazu diskutiert sie aufgaben- und personenspezifische Einflussfaktoren auf die Strategiewahl, überprüft diese quantitativ und zeigt Zusammenhänge zur Schätzgenauigkeit auf. Die empirische Studie liefert außerdem Erkenntnisse über die spezifischen Merkmale guter Schätzerinnen und Schätzer sowie Schwierigkeiten der Schülerinnen und Schüler, mentale Vergleichsprozesse durchzuführen.
