Copyright is everywhere. Your smartphone incorporates thousands of items of intellectual property. Someone owns the reproduction rights to photographs of your dining table. At this very moment, battles are raging over copyright in the output of artificial intelligence programs. Not only books but wallpaper, computer programs and cuddly toys are now deemed to be intellectual properties - making copyright a labyrinthine construction of laws covering almost all products of human creativity.Copyright has its roots in eighteenth-century London, where it was first established to limit printers' control of books. Principled arguments against copyright arose from the start and nearly abolished it in the nineteenth century. But a handful of little-noticed changes in the late twentieth century concentrated ownership of immaterial goods into very few hands.Who Owns This Sentence? is an often-humorous and always-enlightening cultural, legal, and global history of the idea that intangible things can be owned, and makes a persuasive case for seeing copyright as an engine of inequality in the twenty-first century.

Participation is a core value of the U.S.-American concept of the nation. The promise of participation encompasses full and equal access to participate in political, social, cultural, religious, and economic activities. At the same time, exclusion from social participation has been salient in the history of the U.S., and recently even a decline in participation alongside growing polarization can be observed. The notion of participation, however, is more comprehensive than such a narrow political perspective may suggest. Forms of literary production and reception can likewise be understood as social practices of participation. This volume sheds light on how participation has been debated in contemporary Americanist scholarship. The papers included explore the idea of participation beyond its function as a political principle in a democratic nation-state, which will help to understand in more detail the diverse relationships between the literary, the cultural, and the political.

Der vorliegende Band präsentiert die Ergebnisse der Abschlusstagung ,Von Neuem', die die DFG-Forschungsgruppe 2305 ,Diskursivierungen von Neuem. Tradition und Novation in Texten und Bildern des Mittelalters und der Frühen Neuzeit' im Juni 2022 an der Freien Universität abgehalten hat. Die Gruppe hat seit 2016 Artefakte innerhalb der genannten Epochengrenzen auf das komplexe Verhältnis hin untersucht, das ,alte' und ,neue' Elemente und Dimensionen in ihnen einnehmen, und in einer dynamischen Relation solcher Elemente die Spezifik literarischer und künstlerischer Praxis und Produktion ausgemacht. Zur Abschlusstagung waren ausgewiesene Expert:innen aus der germanistischen Mediävistik und Frühneuzeitforschung, aus der Romanistik, der Neueren Geschichte und Kunstgeschichte eingeladen, einschlägige Forschungsfragen ,von Neuem' zu debattieren und eigene Perspektiven aus aktueller Arbeit einzubringen. Der Band bietet ein breites Panorama grundlegender Untersuchungen zu literarischen, philosophischen und bildkünstlerischen Novationsdynamiken zwischen dem 13. und dem 18. Jahrhundert.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of ¿societal deception¿ - how and why people are deceived and led to believe fake news. Coherently blending critical political economy and sociology, the author provocatively examines how corporations, political parties, the media, think tanks and assorted 'influencers' seek to manipulate public opinion to achieve their goals. This book spans an array of contemporary topics and issues not normally tackled by a single writer ¿ the media, genetic engineering, fast food, environmental pollution, climate change, economic inequality, political manipulations, sports, and religion. While critical in subject matter, and replete with easily accessible and reliable sources, this book is highly readable and entertaining for the general as well as academic audience interested in current global issues.

Im Kontext des Cultural Heritage Booms sind Erinnerungsorte an Versklavung und Kolonialismus ein Feld gesellschaftlicher Konflikte . Das wurde im Jahr 2020 in der Black Lives Matter Bewegung sichtbar . In der International Decade for People of African Descent (2015-2024) wird in Europa, Afrika und den Amerikas diskutiert, wie an Versklavung erinnert werden soll, wer sich bei wem entschuldigen soll und wer wen entschädigen soll. Die Autorin untersucht historische Schauplätze von Versklavung und Profittransfer, Museen, Monumente und Gedenkzeremonien in Frankreich und Spanien, Martinique und Kuba. In Interviews in den europäischen Haupt- und Hafenstädten hat sie eruiert, wer sich für oder gegen das Gedenken an die afrikanischen Gefangenen engagiert hat. In der Karibik hat die Autorin hat mit Nachfahren von versklavten Menschen über ihre Erinnerungen an die Versklavung, Erfahrungen mit Rassismus und die lokalen Gedenkorte gesprochen. Als Erbe der Versklavung trat dabei die rassistisch geprägte soziale Ungleichheit zu Tage. Das Buch richtet sich nicht nur an Forschende und Studierende der Geschichte und verwandter Disziplinen, sondern an alle, die sich für die Dekolonialisierung von Erinnerungskultur und Geschichtspolitik interessieren.

An inside look at the unique balance the Amish strike between tradition and the demands of the modern world.From technology to social forces, the Amish face an evolving modern world. Their facility in determining whether to accept, reject, or bargain with the options that challenge them allows for measured change that sustains their social fabric and beliefs. In Dancing on the Devil's Playground, James A. Cates employs a sociocultural model to analyze this negotiation and its applications in Amish culture. Cates, a clinical psychologist, draws on his extensive experience working with Amish families and communities as a mental health professional, as well as the scholarship of Donald B. Kraybill, a leading Amish expert who developed the "negotiation with modernity" model. Cates uses this paradigm to examine the Amish's principles of assessment and evaluation, their cautious tempo in response to change, and their strategies of critical analysis during negotiations. Dancing on the Devil's Playground features seven fascinating case studies of how the Amish interact with legal, health care, and civil authorities and will help readers better understand Amish perspectives on medical, social, and emotional aspects of life. These case studies include, for example, negotiation with the telephone, services for special medical needs, substance abuse, child sexual abuse, and domestic violence. These essays illustrate the negotiation techniques the Amish use to protect their unique culture while adapting to the needs of the modern world. The Amish adopt, adapt, defer, or decline the changes they face, all while maintaining their traditions and a unique identity that includes an appropriate distance from the rest of the world.

'I laughed and cried a little, reading the book with Pam's voice in my head. A true inspiration on every level as a memoir and, as only Pam can, tells us all what we need to do' - ANGELA HARTNETT OBEWhen world-class chef Pam first opened Inver, her restaurant on the shores of Loch Fyne, she set out to discover what makes 'modern Scottish food' - or if it even existed. This book traces Pam's journey to answer that question and in doing so reveals what we can all gather from our culinary heritage. Part memoir, part manifesto on the future of feeding the world and a feminist critique of the food business, it documents the difficult early days of her now multiple award-winning restaurant, reflecting on how the immersive experience of 'destination restaurants' can both help and hinder our understanding of wider land and food culture.From the soil to the kitchen, Between Two Waters interrogates the influences on what we eat: capitalism, colonialism and gender, as well as our own personal and cultural histories. Yet it also captures with real heart all that the dinner table has to offer us: sustenance, both physical and imaginative, challenges and adventure and, most importantly, communion with others.More than anything, it is a blisteringly original work from one of the world's most innovative thinkers about food, sustainability and landscape.

Can you remember the first time you encountered true darkness? The kind that remains as black and inky whether your eyes are open or closed? Where you can't see your hand in front of your face?Jacqueline Yallop can. It was in an unfamiliar bedroom while holidaying in Yorkshire as a child, and ever since then she has been fascinated by the dark, by our efforts to capture or avoid it, by the meanings we give to it and the way our brains process it.Taking a journey into the dark secrets of place, body and mind, she documents a series of night-time walks, exploring both the physical realities of darkness and the psychological dark that helps shape our sense of self. Exploring our enduring love-hate relationship with states of darkness, she considers how we attempt to understand and contain the dark, and, as she comes to terms with her father's deteriorating Alzheimer's, she reflects on how our relationship with the dark can change with time and circumstance.Darkness captivates, baffles and appals us. It's a shifty thing of many textures and many moods. It can be an absence and a presence, a solace and a threat, a beginning and an end. Into the Dark is the story of the many darks that fascinate and assail us. It faces the darkness in all its guises and mysteries, celebrating it as a thing of beauty while peering into the void.

A beautifully illustrated global history of collage from the origins of paper to todayWhile the emergence of collage is frequently placed in the twentieth century when it was a favored medium of modern artists, its earliest beginnings are tied to the invention of paper in China around 200 BCE. Subsequent forms occurred in twelfth-century Japan with illuminated manuscripts that combined calligraphic poetry with torn colored papers. In early modern Europe, collage was used to document and organize herbaria, plant specimens, and other systems of knowledge. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, collage became firmly associated with the expression of intimate relations and familial affections. Fragmentary Forms offers a new, global perspective on one of the world’s oldest and most enduring means of cultural expression, tracing the rich history of collage from its ancient origins to its uses today as a powerful tool for storytelling and explorations of identity.Presenting an expansive approach to collage and the history of art, Freya Gowrley explores what happens when overlapping fragmentary forms are in conversation with one another. She looks at everything from volumes of pilgrims’ religious relics and Victorian seaweed albums to modernist papiers collés by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque and quilts by Faith Ringgold exploring African-American identity. Gowrley examines the work of anonymous and unknown artists whose names have been lost to history, either by accident or through exclusion.Featuring hundreds of beautiful images, Fragmentary Forms demonstrates how the use of found objects is an important characteristic of this unique art form and shows how collage is an inclusive medium that has given voice to marginalized communities and artists across centuries and cultures.

ANMELDELSER HAR VÆRET en del af den offentlige samtale om kunsten, siden oplysningstiden fejede hen over Europa og omdannede enevælde til demokrati.I dag er dagblade og ugeaviser, som siden 1700-tallet har tilbudt anmeldelser som udgangspunkt for en offentlig diskussion af kunsten, under hastig forandring. Trykte aviser forvandles til netmedier, og mængden af anmeldelser er dalende. Det gælder også på kompositionsmusikkensområde – er det godt eller skidt?De 16 tekster, der udgør denne antologi, belyser og diskuterer musikkritikkens opkomst, udvikling og formål med fokus på klassisk og ny kompositionsmusik i Danmark.Foruden debatskabende tekster af musikpersonligheder som Nikolaj Szeps-Znaider og Karl Aage Rasmussen og portrætter af berygtede musikkritikere som Hansgeorg Lenz rummer antologien skønlitterære bidrag af bl.a. UrsulaAndkjær Olsen. Med tekster af anmeldere og forskere giver den eksempler på, hvordan musikkritik har været udøvet, bør udøves – og kunne udøves i fremtiden.

Underholdende kulturbog om tysk fodbold og nationalfølelse er den begavede ledsager til alle sportsidioter ved sommerens EM-­slutrunde.Fodbold er et simpelt spil.22 mand jagter en bold i 90 minutter.Og til sidst vinder Tyskland.Den engelske fodboldlegende Gary ­Lineker har formuleret slutrundernes uskrevne grundlov. At tyskerne altid dominerer, når de bedste landshold mødes i kampen om en plads i historiebøgerne. Die National­mannschaft – den traditionsrige tyske landsholdstrup – har deltaget i samtlige VM-slutrunder siden 1954. Over halvdelen af gangene har det nået mindst semifinalen. Fire gange har de vundet VM-titlen. Tre gange EM.Men de senere år har ført til hurtige og pin­agtige exit. Ved VM i 2018, ved EM i 2021 og mest traumatiserende ved VM i 2022 med nederlaget til fodboldminiputten Japan. For første gang har det tyske fodboldforbund fyret en siddende Bundestrainer. Og nu, i den dybeste fodboldskrise nogensinde, står fodboldmastodonten med værtskabet for EM.Mikael Busch er tysklandskender og fan af Fußball siden sin barndom, dengang Beckenbauer gjorde sine landsmænd fodboldgale og knæsatte en nationalsport i et land lammet af skam over nazismen. Med sin bog om tysk landsholdsfodbold siden krigen får du den ultimative og uundværlige introduktion til tysk fodbold, tysk kultur, de største spillerprofiler, fra Der Kaiser til Klinsi og Jogi – og ikke mindst de bedste anekdoter fra banen og udenfor.

Lorraine Daston er en af vor tids største videnskabshistorikere. Hendes studier er kendetegnet ved at fokusere på det, der traditionelt har været betragtet som uvedkommende for naturvidenskaberne: Følelser, moralitet, æstetik eller sågar monstre og engle. Derudover har hun demonstreret historiciteten ved ellers hævdvundne idéer som objektivitet og natur.I dette nummer af SLAGMARK undersøges denne udvidede videnskabshistorie, som Daston selv har foreslået at benævne videnshistorie. Udover et interview med Daston om “Videnskabshistoriens fremtid” og en oversættelse af Dastons artikel “Videnskabshistorie og videnshistorie” indeholder nummeret fire artikelbidrag, der alle finder inspiration i Dastons videnshistoriske metode. Fra oversættelsen af levende træer til målbar skovdrift i 1800-tallets Danmark over kolonialhistoriske arkivpraksisser i Danmarks Nationale Herbarium og den historiske kontingens i erkendelsen af dybhavets forunderlige skabninger til H.C. Ørsteds fremmaning af oldtidens ånder i digtsamlingen Luftskibet. Disse forskellige perspektiver understreger bredden i Dastons bidrag til historievidenskaberne.Med SLAGMARK #87 præsenterer vi forskellige bud på, hvordan Lorraine Dastons studier kan inspirere og informere ny forskning. Foruden interview, oversættelse af Dastons artikel og fire artikelbidrag indeholder nummeret endvidere tre anmeldelsesessays. Et oplagt nummer til såvel nye som gamle Daston-kendinge!

This contributed volume identifies how the information processes of public institutions and citizens have changed throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, within a new context that emerged: the infodemic disorder. Public debate is largely characterized today by a crisis of the legitimacy of institutions, accompanied by a crisis of authority in public communication, leading to the emergency of a state of information disorder due specifically to the need to find information related to the coping of the pandemic. This condition is characterized by growing attention to issues related to ¿fake news¿, ¿misinformation¿, and ¿media manipulation¿, that are intertwined in digital platform ecosystems, and the effects of which on democracy, public communication and research, and the sharing of information in the civic sphere are broad and far-reaching. This volume analyzes the links between communication strategies of public institutions, and the resulting citizen communication, in an attempt to tease out how communication processes have changed during the pandemic. It was decided to investigate this infodemic disorder as it appeared in three different geographical contexts: Europe, Canada and Mexico and, at the same time, to bring out the formal and informal coping strategies implemented by public institutions and citizens. Beginning with an introduction to the crisis of information created by the pandemic, the contributors build a theoretical framework, provide contagion data, and subsequently, for each of the geographical contexts analyzed, explore the public communication strategies and those activated by citizens seeking to share information.

Kritische Relationalität interveniert in Ordnungen des Denkens, die Kritik als Operation des Trennens und Auseinanderhaltens entworfen und damit die modernen Dualismen von Menschlichem und Nicht-Menschlichem, Subjekten und Objekten, Organischem und Technischem, Natur und Kultur geprägt haben. Ausgehend von multiplen, verschränkten Krisen suchen die Beiträge dieses Bandes konkrete Szenen auf, in denen das kritische Potenzial von Verbindungen und Verstrickungen anschaulich wird. Das Ausloten von Relationalität wird dabei zu einem analytischen Modus, der für die Produktivität von Verbindungen sensibilisiert und zugleich ihre differenziellen Dimensionen anerkennt.

This book connects clinical sociology to the food justice movement through gardens in incarcerated settings. Situated within the larger food justice movement, the authors highlight the shortcomings of the global food system and the inequalities produced by the lack of adequate nutrition, particularly in the context of marginalized populations, such as those in carceral institutions. The book provides an up-to-date overview of horticulture programs in different incarcerated settings in the US, including prisons and community correction units, and provides in-depth discussion on innovative best-practice models. It also features a detailed analysis of an ongoing multi-site research project on gardening in incarcerated settings for women at local, state, and federal levels. Unlike other literature on prison and jail horticulture, this book contextualizes gardening in incarcerated settings with critical historical analysis, presenting the theoretical background to sociological action research projects. Serving as a starting point for establishing gardening as an evidence-based practice in prisons and jails, it is essential reading for researchers and practitioners of clinical sociology and social work, criminologists, prison and corrective institution administrators, and citizen groups interested in therapeutic gardening and alternatives to industrial prison food.

¿Der Medienjournalismus als fachjournalistische Disziplin ist landläufig mit einem Nischenstempel behaftet. Seit seinen Anfängen als klassische Medienseite in (überregionalen) Tageszeitungen hat er sich stark ausdifferenziert und tritt mit neuen Angebotsformen inzwischen verstärkt im Social Web auf. Die Forschungsarbeit systematisiert und reflektiert erstmals Innovationsstrukturen im öffentlich-rechtlichen Medienjournalismus. In Leitfadeninterviews gewähren Medienjournalist*innen von ARD und Deutschlandradio Einblicke in ihre (innovative) Programmgestaltung und formateigenen Zielgruppenvorstellungen. Als Forschungsgegenstand werden neun genuine Medienmagazine betrachtet, darunter ¿ZAPP¿ (Norddeutscher Rundfunk), ¿@mediasres¿ (Deutschlandfunk) oder ¿Töne, Texte, Bilder¿ (Westdeutscher Rundfunk). Mit Blick auf den öffentlich-rechtlichen Auftrag messen die Befragten dem Medienjournalismus in öffentlich-rechtlicher Verantwortung eine große Bedeutung bei ¿ sowohl im Lichte einer kritischenBegleitung von journalismus- bzw. medienspezifischen Themen und Spannungsfeldern als auch bei der Wandelbarkeit von tradierten Programmmustern.

Forfatteren og teologen Mitri Raheb føjer med denne bog endnu et perspektiv til forståelsen af den årelange konflikt mellem israelere og palæstinensere. Med Hamas’ massakre den 7. oktober 2023 og Israels efterfølgende sønderbombning af Gaza og nedlukning af Vestbredden er endnu et grufuldt kapitel i gang med at blive skrevet i Israel-Palæstina-historien. I Afkonoliser Palæstina giver Mitri Raheb læseren et historisk perspektiv på baggrunden for Israels besættelse af Vestbredden og ser konflikten som et udtryk for en nutidig imperial politik. Dermed skriver Raheb sig ind i rækken af forfattere, der anlægger en post-kolonial synsvinkel på det, der sker i Palæstina og Israel.Mitri Raheb, palæstinensisk teolog, uddannet i Tyskland. I 1988 vendte han tilbage til sin fødeby Betlehem, hvor han blev præst ved den lutherske Julekirke. Han er forfatter og redaktør på adskillige bøger. På dansk er udkommet Betlehem under belejring (Boedal/Unitas 2005) og Troen og Imperiet (Unitas 2014), og Forfølgelsens politikker (Eksistensen 2022).

Mit diesem Open-Access-Buch zeigt Stefan Lüder auf, dass die Geschichte der Himalaya-Region mit der übrigen Welt weitaus verflochtener ist als bisher angenommen wird.Die historische Legitimationsforschung ist bisher durch europa- und amerikazentrische Perspektiven geprägt. Auch wenn in den letzten Jahren vereinzelt auch die Zentren Asiens, insbesondere China und Indien, zunehmend in den Fokus genommen werden, bleibt die Himalaya-Region, trotz ihrer steigenden Bedeutung für Geopolitik und Klimawandel, in dieser Hinsicht bisher gänzlich unerforscht und wird in Medien, Politik und Wissenschaft weiterhin als unzugängliche Grenzregion wahrgenommen. Dies ist ein Open-Access-Buch.
