Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Today, when darkness of all kinds, cast by humans, is trying to prevail and is endangering prosperous life on the planet, we need a reflection on how to reconcile the darkness with light of living. Tatjana Capuder Vidmar examines four perspectives on the topic through four masterpieces of art: László Moholy-Nagy's »Das Lichtrequisit«, Daniel Libeskind's »Der Holocaust Turm«, Senenmut's »Temple of Queen Hatshepsut«, and Alvar Aalto's »Studio Aalto« in Helsinki. Architecture can contribute to a better world. To do so, architecture needs to be relational and sunlight has a special role in it. The volume is illustrated with the author's artworks, which are interpretations of beautiful light - shadow relations in tectonics of natural structures. 82 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -In our era of rapid, breathless change, we need concepts of human education that promise sustainability, along with a corresponding architecture of learning. The pursuit of knowledge has always been regarded as a key to a better life - both individually and collectively -, and the social value of learning is reflected most vividly in the environments where it takes place. What kind of architecture do we need for a holistic concept of education that anticipates future developments And how can the built environment support the transformation of accumulated knowledge into lived experience and embodied wisdom Answers to such questions have often found meaningful expression in the typology of the library - and continue to do so today. This book addresses vital questions of education, human epistemics, knowledge, and their architectural settings from diverse disciplinary perspectives. 305 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Debates on cultures of remembrance are repeatedly at the center of contestation in Germany. The mandate to anchor remembrance and critical engagement with histories of injustice and violence in Germany's past within collective and public commemoration remains undisputed. At the same time, remembrance of Germany's three decades of colonial rule continues to be treated as peripheral. To date, there is no official national site of learning and remembrance dedicated to German colonialism. The publication Memory in Motion documents an eponymous two-year process in which an international network of experts from academia, activism, art, architecture, civil society, museums, cultural heritage and the public sector engaged with the enduring effects of what is often referred to as »colonial amnesia.« The network shared perspectives and developed ideas regarding the potential creation of one or several sites of learning and remembrance dedicated to colonialism in Germany. 272 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Questions about the goals, possibilities, scope and limits of education date back to ancient times. However, addressing educational issues from the perspective of the Critical Theory in the sense of the Frankfurt School is a new and still underdeveloped enterprise. From the perspectives of educational philosophy and educational sociology the contributions to this volume critically analyse highly pressing issues such as the erosion of democracies, populism, and the (im)possibility of educating individuals to become mature and autonomous. This interdisciplinary approach offers nuanced and fresh answers to questions of normative orders. 300 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Since the early 2000s, creatives in UK grime music and attendant genres have voiced and displayed dissent toward neoliberal politics and violent inner-city planning through the medium of music video. Julian Wacker shows that music videos produced for artists such as Dizzee Rascal, Jorja Smith, Kano, Kojey Radical, and Scarlxrd reframe politically disenfranchised and culturally stigmatized council estates as unruly and malleable spaces on the move, ultimately disrupting exclusionary patterns stratified across the neoliberal city. Reading these music videos also provides insights into how they intervene in stereotyping narratives surrounding Black British 'urban' culture in the UK. 300 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Bisexual people of the Christian faith are a sector of the LGBT+ community that is under-researched, under-represented and often misunderstood. Either omitted from lesbian and gay Christian anthologies altogether, or subsumed within the homosexual community, this volume marks the first comprehensive attempt to chart the lived experiences of this group. Each chapter portrays the story from one person's unique perspective, focusing on different main topics and using their own words. The contributors have diverse backgrounds relating to several factors, such as denomination, age, gender, or relationship status. …

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Today, the neo-Anatolian pop music scene is thriving, and there is an abundance of reissues of Anatolian pop from the 1960s and 1970s. Sparked by U.S. hip-hop beat diggers in 2006, this trend has also led to a growing musicological interest in Anatolian pop and rock. This volume compiles over 15 years of research on Turkish music focusing on productions from Turkey and Germany. Key questions include the conditions that led to the emergence of Anatolian pop as a hybrid style and its relationship with other styles, such as arabesk, belly dance, folk, and hip-hop. The status of Turkish music in Germany is also examined, asking why this vast music production was ignored and excluded from the German music market and media for decades.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Konsum ist persönlich und unvermeidbar, gleichzeitig ist fast jede Form von Konsum auf Gesellschaft angewiesen. Es ist also wenig überraschend, dass reichlich Anforderungen und Ansprüche an den Konsum gestellt werden. Die Beiträger\*innen befassen sich mit dieser Vielfalt moderner Konsumtion. Dabei legen sie verschiedene sozialwissenschaftliche Theorieansätze zugrunde, um so unterschiedliche Fälle wie Ernährung, Lebensmittelproduktion, Popmusik, Vertical Farming oder Werbung zu analysieren - und kommen so den Besonderheiten des Konsums in der modernen Gesellschaft auf den Grund, die sich zwangsläufig aus seiner sozialen Bedingtheit ergeben. 198 pp. Deutsch.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -The global border regimes threaten to escalate, and state-controlled refugee camps dominate the discourse while contrary viewpoints seem to be missing. Focusing on autonomous settlements in France, Italy, and Chile, Melanie Garland follows how communities on the move transform so-called non-places into social places through practices of inbetweenness, resisting border regimes and creating sites of belonging and political imagination. Attuned to the oceans connecting these places, her study draws on artistic and multimodal anthropology to develop a holistic approach that combines sensory and affective methods to explore these urban practices. It offers insights for social sciences, the arts, and readers interested in urban future-making shaped by collective agency. 350 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Sommerhäuser sind in der deutschsprachigen Gegenwartsliteratur eindrücklich präsent und eng mit der nach wie vor steigenden Popularität des Ländlichen verknüpft. Als eine Form der Gegenwelt und als Kompensation zu bestehenden Ordnungen verkörpern sie Gegenentwürfe, die zwischen Stadt und Land, Alltag und Gegenwelt, Arbeit und Freizeit, Utopie und Dystopie, aber auch zwischen Gemeinschaft und Isolation changieren. Anhand ausgewählter literarischer Texte von Christa Wolf, Jenny Erpenbeck und Judith Hermann knüpft Sara Maatz an die hochaktuelle Stadt-Land-Forschung an und führt sie mittels der Perspektivierung des Sommerhauses literaturwissenschaftlich weiter. Dabei wird deutlich, dass das Sommerhaus nicht weniger sein soll als eine Antwort auf die Frage »Wo und wie leben «. 300 pp. Deutsch.…
