Niedersachsen, August 1961. Der Klassenlehrer Walter Wilke wird in seiner Dorfschule aus dem Unterricht abgeholt und später in einem der ersten großen Prozesse über deutsche Verbrechen in Osteuropa verurteilt. In seinem kleinen Ort wird über die Sache nicht gesprochen. Später kehrt der Mann zurück und lebt bis zu seinem Tod 1989 zurückgezogen im Dorf. Seine Frau, mit der er über Jahre in Bigamie gelebt hatte, ist die beliebte Landärztin. Jürgen Gückel, mehrfach ausgezeichneter Gerichtsreporter, geht einer Spur nach. Einer Geschichte, die ihn seit der Schulzeit beschäftigt, denn Walter Wilke war sein erster Lehrer. Gückel rekonstruiert einen einzigartigen Lebensweg: Walter war in Wahrheit Artur Wilke, der die Identität seines gefallenen Bruders angenommen hatte. Artur selbst war studierter Theologe und Archäologe, im Dritten Reich der SS beigetreten, nachweislich an Massenerschießungen von Juden beteiligt, galt als gefürchteter Partisanen-Jäger und wurde nach dem Krieg dann Volksschullehrer. Sein Name ist mit grauenhaften Kriegsverbrechen verbunden, doch zur Rechenschaft gezogen wurde er für seine Taten im Partisanenkampf nie. Das Buch zeichnet nicht nur eine spektakuläre deutsche Biografie im 20. Jahrhundert nach die Entwicklung eines Intellektuellen zum Täter und die Verneinung jeglicher persönlicher Schuld, das Wegsehen der Gesellschaft. Es zeigt auch auf, wie schwierig das Erinnern ist, wie unterschiedlich Erlebtes bewertet wird und wie schwer die Erarbeitung historischer Wahrheit letztlich ist. Auch nach der Sichtung mehrerer zehntausend Seiten Gerichtsakten und anderer Dokumente bleiben scheinbar einfache Fragen offen. Eine wahre Geschichte über Bigamie und Theologie, Verbrechen und Vertuschung, über die deutsche Nachkriegsgesellschaft und über eine familiäre Tragödie.

Die Tischreden gehören zu den meist zitierten Texten Martin Luthers - und doch auch zugleich zu denjenigen, deren kritische Analyse noch in den Anfängen steckt. Die schon im 16. Jahrhundert geformte Tradition ist bis heute bestimmend für die Wahrnehmung und Auswertung dieser Quellen. Dabei sind ihre Entstehungsbedingungen, Überlieferungsgeschichte und literarischen Verknüpfungen ebenso schwierig zu erhellen wie die hermeneutischen Bedingungen für ihre angemessene Deutung im Horizont gegenwärtiger theologischer, historischer und erinnerungskultureller Forschung. Der vorliegende Band, der auf eine 2010 an der Universität Jena abgehaltene Tagung zurückgeht, stellt eine Annäherung an diese komplexe Lage aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven dar. Die Autoren der hier gesammelten Beiträge sichern den Bestand - der über die in der Weimarer Ausgabe vorliegende Dokumentation deutlich hinaus geht - und diskutieren Möglichkeiten der Auslegung wie der weiteren Arbeit an den Tischreden und ihrer Edition.

From moving images on the Internet to giant IMAX displays: The number of screens in the public and private sphere has increased significantly during the last two decades. While this is often taken to indicate the "death of cinema," this volume attempts to reconsider the limits and specifics of film and the traditional movie theater. It analyzes notions of spectatorship, the relationship between cinema and the "uncinematic," the contested place of installation art in the history of experimental cinema, and the characteristics of the high definition image. Further contributions discuss the ways in which cinema interacts with other arts and media such as theater and television. Contributors include Raymond Bellour, Victor Burgin, Vinzenz Hediger, Tom Gunning, Ute Holl, Ekkehard Knörer, Thomas Morsch, Jonathan Rosenbaum and the editors.

Als zentraler Künstler der frühen Moderne hat Alexej von Jawlensky (1864 geboren in Torschok/Russland, 1941 in Wiesbaden gestorben) die Möglichkeiten der Malerei wesentlich erweitert. Von einer expressiv farbigen Aneignung der Welt aus entfaltete er das Bild durch die Reduktion der Form und die Steigerung der Farbe zum Ausdruck einer immateriellen und geistigen Wahrheit. Trotz der großen Individualität seines Wegs hat er der Malerei bis zur Gegenwart im Blick auf die Bedeutung der Farbe, des Seriellen und Spirituellen wichtige Anregungen gegeben. Ausstellung und Katalog präsentieren eine exemplarische Auswahl von rund 70 Gemälden und Zeichnungen und vollziehen die Entwicklung der drei großen Themen „Gesicht, Landschaft, Stillleben" nach, auf die sich Jawlensky in seinem Schaffen konzentriert hat.

The collection at hand is a subjective, but representative selection of articles in German and English on the representation of bellicose acts in modern times. The wide range of wars treated in these essays begins with the Canudos Civil War in the Brazilian state of Bahia in 1896-97. The various articles include new perceptions and interpretations of the First World War, the Spanish Civil War of 1936-39, the Holocaust, the Second World War, the Korean War, the wars in the former Portuguese colonies of Africa, and the Balkan Wars of the last decade of the 20th century, and close with the current war in Afghanistan, which began in 2001. The wars discussed, although having different origins, such as national pride, territorial expansion, fanatic religiousness, ethnic and racial conflicts, great social differences, the process of decolonization, and terrorism, have one thing in common: their significant and constant repercussion in the print and broadcast media over a long period of time. These modern wars have therefore often been the object of new readings and reinterpretations until today. The history of these wars could not have been written without the development of journalism, the mass media, and new technologies of war reporting in the 20th century.

Cultures as well as individuals continually balance the demands of nostalgia and sustainability as they construct historical narratives of "futures worth preserving". The aim of this volume is to explore those narratives and the underlying assumptions which inform them. Drawing on a range of disciplines from the humanities and social sciences, the chapters investigate cultural assumptions about which aspects of the past deserve to be remembered and which aspects of the present should be sustained for the future. In the process, they reveal how contemporary definitions of sustainability are informed by a nostalgic yearning for the past, and how nostalgia is motivated by a reciprocal longing to sustain the past for the future.

This handbook shares profound insights into the main principles and concepts of integrated care. It offers a multi-disciplinary perspective with a focus on patient orientation, efficiency, and quality by applying widely recognized management approaches to the field of healthcare. The handbook also highlights international best practices and shows how integrated care can work in various health systems. In the majority of health systems around the world, the delivery of healthcare and social care is characterised by fragmentation and complexity. Consequently, much of the recent international discussion in the fields of health policy and health management has focused on the topic of integrated care. “Integrated” acknowledges the complexity of patients’ needs and aims to meet them by taking into account both health and social care aspects. Changing and improving processes in a coordinated way is at the heart of this approach. The second edition offers new chapters on people-centredness, complexity theories and evaluation methods, additional management tools and a wealth of experiences from different countries and localities. It is essential reading both for health policymakers seeking inspiration for legislation and for practitioners involved in the management of public health services who want to learn from good practice.

Barsauma was a fifth-century Syrian ascetic, archimandrite, and leader of monks, notorious for his extreme asceticism and violent anti-Jewish campaigns across the Holy Land. Although Barsauma was a powerful and revered figure in the Eastern church, modern scholarship has widely dismissed him as a thug of peripheral interest. Until now, only the most salacious bits of the Life of Barsauma—a fascinating collection of miracles that Barsauma undertook across the Near East—had been translated. This pioneering study includes the first full translation of the Life and a series of studies by scholars employing a range of methods to illuminate the text from different angles and contexts. This is the authoritative source on this influential figure in the history of the church and his life, travels, and relations with other religious groups.

Prozessionen sind mehrdimensionale soziale Praktiken. Sie dienen der Dar- wie Herstellung soziokultureller Ordnungen und Werte. Sie kommunizieren sowohl Religiöses wie Soziales als auch Politisches. Aufgrund dieses Ineinander von Macht, Religion und Kultur sind Prozessionen angelegt auf ritualdynamische Experimente und religionskulturelle Weiterentwicklungen. Diese Entwicklungen rekonstruiert der Band, indem er städtische Prozessionen auf das dynamische Verhältnis von "Religiös-Sakral" und "Säkular-Profan" bezieht. Im Zentrum stehen solche Prozessionen und Umzüge, deren Anlass und Funktion sich nicht unmittelbar dem religiösen Kult und der kirchlichen Liturgie verdanken, also z.B. Triumphzüge, politische Demonstrationen, Universitätsumzüge, Trauerzüge etc. Die Nachzeichnung des rituellen Verhältnisses des "Religiösen" und "Säkularen" erfolgt sowohl epochenübergreifend wie interdisziplinär.

The Self-Propelled Island is the first unabridged English translation of Jules Verne’s original story featuring a famous French string quartet that is abducted by an American businessman and taken to Standard Island to perform for its millionaire inhabitants. The quartet soon discovers that Standard Island is not an island at all, but an immense, futuristic ship possessing all the features of an idyllic haven. Equipped with the most opulent amenities, Standard Island travels the Pacific Ocean, traversing the south archipelagos and stopping at many “sister” islands for the pleasure of its well-heeled inhabitants. These inhabitants soon meet with the danger, in its various forms, that is inherent in ocean travel. Meanwhile, the French quartet is witness to the rivalry that exists between the two most powerful families onboard, a rivalry that keeps the future of the island balancing on the edge of a knife. First published in English in 1896, the novel was originally censored in translation. Dozens of pages were cut from the story because English translators felt they were too critical of Americans as well as the British. Here, for the first time, readers have the pleasure of reading The Self-Propelled Island as Verne intended it.

Text in English & German. The way we sit simultaneously defines privileges, social status, power, and taboos. Parallel to the presentation of China as the guest of honour at the Frankfurt Book Fair 2009, the Museum für Angewandte Kunst in Frankfurt presents a panorama of Chinese sitting culture through a period of five centuries. Exclusive, noble Ming chairs stand side by side with chairs of the 18th and 19th century used by the middle class of that time. Limited sitting sculptures by renowned artist designers such as Shao Fan, Freeman Lau, Kenneth Cobonpue, XYZ-Design and Ji Liwei, who is also in charge of the interior design of the Chinese pavilion at the book fair, are confronted with the bourgeois sofas and sitting of the Chinese middle class of today. The "Bastard Chairs" of migrant workers and the homeless, day-to-day seats improvised out of pure need and made of trash and leftover materials, are commented in the sitting contexts of celebrities: emperors and courtesans, politicians and pop stars, athletes and students of product design show how sitting was done formerly and is done today. It ranges from a man of letters from the Ming era to the Qianglong emperor on the throne to Mao and Nixon in characteristic armchairs in Mao's best room. The most famous contemporary Chinese artist, Ai Weiwei, will also be represented with an excerpt of his grandiose chair performance at the Dokumenta XII. Of course, product piracy, which -- as the typical Chinese dipping figure "Shanzhai" -- has mean-while adopted characteristics that define society, is also dealt with.
