In den Bildmedien religiöser Frauenge­meinschaften der Frühen Neuzeit war das Herz von besonderer Bedeutung. Maria Schaller analysiert Porträts und bildtragende Schmuckstücke, die im 17. und 18. Jahrhundert in katholischen Nonnenklöstern und protestantischen Damenstiften entstanden sind und Vorstellungen wie die Einwohnung, das Einprägen oder die Einschreibung des Göttlichen in das menschliche Herz thematisieren. Untersucht wer­den Rückgriffe auf die Herzvisionen spätmittelalterlicher Mystiker/­innen, aber auch bemerkenswerte Neuse­mantisierungen wie die Konstruktion der Genealogie einer "ewigen Herzenswunde". Im Zentrum steht die Frage, inwiefern die präsentierten Körperbilder und Imaginationen des Herzens Aushandlungsprozesse im Spannungsfeld von Konfession, Stand und Geschlecht widerspiegeln. Grundlegender Beitrag zur Genderforschung und Körpergeschichte der Frühen Neuzeit Bilder des Herzens in verschiedenen christlichen Konfessionen

Born in southern Germany, Philipp Jakob Straub is one of the most important representatives of 18th century Austrian Baroque sculpture. For the first time, his extensive oeuvre is brought together here from an international perspective and subjected to an in-depth analysis. Some previous attributions to the artist have now been retracted, making his work appear more homogeneous. However, previously unknown works have also been reassigned to him, resulting in a considerable catalog of works that clearly illustrates the artist's stylistic genesis. This enables a fresh look at his oeuvre and the diverse stylistic influences of his new hometown of Graz. His important position within Austrian Baroque sculpture is also redefined. First completely stylistically analyzed, international catalog of works by Philipp Jakob Straub Investigation of the influences from the Cisalpine region on Graz Baroque sculpture Distinction from the work of the other Straub brothers and contemporaries

Bei dem Goldenen Esel (Titel in den Handschriften: Metamorphoses) des Apuleius (2. Jh. n. Chr.) handelt es sich um den einzigen vollständig erhaltenen Prosaroman der römischen Literatur und um einen der ganz großen der Weltliteratur. Das von einem Ich-Erzähler dargebotene Geschehen gleicht dem eines pikaresken Romans und hat neuzeitliche Romanciers immer wieder inspiriert. Breite Nachwirkung erlebten auch die eingelegten, z. T. überaus pikanten Novellen, allen voran das "Märchen" von Amor und Psyche, u. a. in Boccaccios Decamerone. Reges Interesse hat auch stets die Beschreibung des Isis-Kults im letzten der elf Bücher geweckt. Eine neue Tusculum-Ausgabe - die alte stammt von 1958 - ist ein Desiderat, weil der Text erst seit den achtziger Jahren des 20. Jahrhunderts auf der Basis der modernen Literaturwissenschaft interpretiert wird (zuletzt von einer international renommierten Forschergruppe in Groningen) und die Resultate dieser Forschung unbedingt bei der Textredaktion, Übersetzung und Erschließung des Werks berücksichtigt werden sollten. Die deutsche Wiedergabe orientiert sich an der Zielsprache, ist aber anders als diejenige der Vorgänger so wörtlich wie möglich und erfüllt somit den Anspruch an eine moderne Bilingue.

Tomás Gutiérrez Alea's Memories of Underdevelopment (1968) is a classic of Cuban revolutionary culture, and is hailed as a prime example of a radical style of 1960s political filmmaking that became known worldwide as Latin American "new cinema." Darlene J. Sadlier's detailed study approaches this much-written-about film from a new perspective. Her analysis situates the film in its historical context, considering how Cuban political history affected and informed the production of the film, particularly its use of archival footage. She discusses the film as an adaptation of Edmundo Desnoes's novel Memorias del subdesarrollo (1965), exploring how the novel itself is "re-written" in significant ways by the film. Sadlier goes on to analyse the curious opening of the film on an outdoor scene of Afro-Cubans dancing to the "new" music of Pello del Afrokán, arguing that this opening scene prefaces the film's exploration of both class and race. She focuses on the unique style of the film, particularly the use of voiceover, music and documentary footage to show how the themes of ennui, isolation, writing, and remembering are depicted. In doing so, she highlights the film's lasting impact and its role in defining Latin American "new cinema".

The role of general counsel and in-house lawyers is changing continually. Legal is now considered a vital component of leadership in most enterprises, and it is increasingly common for the GC to be called on for strategic input prior to important business decisions. Added to this is the convergence of social and political trends driving new demand for legal advice and service delivery; an increasing focus on productivity and efficiency; pressure to demonstrate the value of legal to the business in order to gain budget support; and the need to adapt and advance digitally. The competencies required of the general counsel and their increasingly multi-disciplinary team are also growing with responsibilities expanding to encompass reputational risk, government relations, data privacy, ESG and interacting with diverse stakeholders including regulators.Edited by E Leigh Dance and Christoph H Vaagt, both with distinguished careers advising legal departments and teams for more than two decades, the second edition of General Counsel in the 21st Century offers general counsel and all in-house legal professionals a variety of expert perspectives on the evolution of the role of the GC and the corporate legal department. Chapters are written by an international group of well-known general counsel, corporate legal leaders, and other experts, and cover important topics for general counsel today, including: The evolution of the general counsel's role;Legal operations as a competitive advantage;How adaptive legal functions are embracing technology;Managing change in a legal department; andDoing more with less.This title provides guidance on how legal departments can best support the businesses they serve, identify and address areas where change is necessary, and anticipate developments on the horizon. Readers - whether in-house counsel or private practitioners - will gather best practices and learn new and perhaps surprising lessons to help them succeed in their jobs as leaders at the intersection of law and business.
