Brigitte-Kronauer-Handbuch
Die bedeutende Gegenwartsautorin und B�chner-Preistr�gerin Brigitte Kronauer (1940-2019) ist immer noch ein Stiefkind der literaturwissenschaftlichen Forschung und auch der literaturinteressierten �ffentlichkeit nur wenig bekannt. Das m�chte das vorliegende Handbuch �ndern. Es stellt erstmalig Kronauers umfangreiches Gesamtwerk aus Romanen, Erz�hlsammlungen und werkreflexiven Essays - �ber ihr eigenes Schreiben sowie �ber die f�r sie wichtigen Autoren und K�nstler - vor. Dazu werden die wenigen relevanten und zum Teil an entlegenen Orten publizierten Forschungsarbeiten �ber ihr eigenwilliges Oeuvre zusammengef�hrt und auf dem neuesten Stand fortgeschrieben. Wesentliche Stichworte erl�utern Kronauers Poetologie und ihr Realismus-Verst�ndnis sowie die Verankerung in wissens-, kultur-, gesellschafts- und mediengeschichtlichen Kontexten ihrer Zeit. Da die einzelnen Beitr�ge beinahe durchweg genuine Grundlagenforschung zu Kronauer und ihrem Werk bieten, liefert das Handbuch die Basis f�r weitere Forschungen und er�ffnet neue Forschungsperspektiven.

Brigitte Kowanz
This volume presents art with light in all its facets – using mirrors, black light, neon tubes, and bottles, Brigitte Kowanz creates objects and spatial artworks in which she showcases light. "What is light?" is the central question of her oeuvre. "Light is what you see," is the artist's answer.Light helps us see; it makes everything visible, yet remains invisible itself. Brigitte Kowanz explores this paradox in her art of light. This volume offers a retrospective of the work of the artist, who died in 2022. In addition to her central works, it presents iconic works in which she addressed current topics such as digitalization and new communication media in an information society as early as the 1980s.

Öffentliche Experten
Der Stellenwert von Experten, die Ereignisse in den Medien kommentieren und analysieren, wurde in den letzten Jahren immer wieder diskutiert: Greifen Journalisten heute stärker auf Expertenquellen zurück? Wie entstehen mediale Expertenfiguren und welche Interessen verfolgen sie bei Medienauftritten? Brigitte Huber hat zwei Tageszeitungen im Zeitraum 1995 bis 2010 analysiert. Die Ergebnisse weisen auf eine zunehmende Bedeutung von Expertenquellen hin. Auf Basis von Interviews mit Journalisten und Experten zeichnet die Autorin Etablierungsprozesse von medialen Expertenfiguren nach und identifiziert neben kommunikativenFähigkeiten auch Netzwerke und Vertrauen als zentrale Komponente. Die Motive der Experten, in die Medienöffentlichkeit zu treten, sind heterogen und reichen von der Bereicherung des öffentlichen Diskurses bis hin zur Werbung für eigene Bücher, das eigene Unternehmen oder den Auftraggeber. Journalisten sind gefordert, diese Motive zu hinterfragen und dem Rezipienten transparent zu machen.

Live Fast
Winner of the Prix Goncourt A powerful autobiographical novel of loss, the incandescent love that remains, and the small decisions that define the course of fatePaced and structured with the inevitable suspense of a countdown, Brigitte Giraud’s tense and haunting novel follows one woman’s quest to comprehend the motorcycle accident that took the life of her partner Claude at age 41.The narrator of Live Fast recounts the chain of events that led up to the fateful accident, tracing the tiny, maddening twists of fate that might have prevented its tragic outcome. Each chapter asks the rhetorical question, “what if,” departing from an image or memory from early years in Algeria during the war, to moving to the suburbs of Lyon, buying and renovating a home where they could “put down their suitcase for a whole life.” A sensitive elegy to her husband and a subtle, precise vision of a lasting love, Live Fast is a moving and electrifying portrait of two people caught up in the mundane activities of life, forgetting that living itself can be dangerous.

Film, a latecomer to the realm of artistic media, alludes to, absorbs, and undermines the discourses of the other arts--literature and painting especially--in order to carve out a position for itself among them. Exposing the anxiety in film's relation to its rival arts, Brigitte Peucker analyzes central issues involved in generic boundary crossing as they pertain to film and situates them in a theoretical framework. The figure of the human body takes center stage in Peucker's innovative study, for it is through this figure that the conjunction of literary and painterly discourses persistently articulates itself. It is through the human body, too, that film's consciousness of itself as a hybrid text and as a "machine for simulation" makes itself deeply felt. In films ranging from Weimar cinema through Griffith, Hitchcock, and Greenaway, Peucker probes issues in aesthetics problematized by Diderot and Kleist, among others. She argues that the introduction of movement into visual representation occasioned by film brings with it an underlying tension suggestive of castration and death.Peucker goes on to demonstrate how the encounter between narrative and image is both gendered and sexualized, rendering film a "monstrous" hybrid. In a final section, she explores in specific cinematic texts the permeable boundary between the real and representation, suggesting how effects such as tableau vivant and trompe l'oeil figure sexuality and death.

Gender und Leadership
Wer an eine Führungskraft denkt, denkt (noch) an einen Mann. Frauen sind in wichtigen Managementpositionen nach wie vor unterrepräsentiert. Dieses Buch zeigt auf, welche (unsichtbaren) Barrieren Frauen benachteiligen und dass diese ebenso für nicht-binäre Menschen und Männer, die sich in traditionellen Vorstellungen von Führung nicht wiederfinden, gelten. Es leistet einen Beitrag zum 5. Nachhaltigkeitsziel der UN (SDG 5, Geschlechtergleichheit), indem es auf Ungleichheiten hinweist und neue Wege aufzeigt. So diskutiert Brigitte Biehl Geschlechterstereotype und Rollenbilder sowie deren Auswirkungen auf die Karriere. Da Führung nicht nur von der Position der Vorgesetzen abhängt, sondern auch von der Bereitschaft anderer Menschen, diesen zu folgen, betrachtet die Autorin auch die Wahrnehmung von Führungsstilen und Körpern sowie die Macht der Sprache.Basierend auf Erkenntnissen aus der internationalen Managementforschung zeigt Brigitte Biehl Möglichkeiten für Führung jenseits der etablierten Klischees auf und eröffnet Perspektiven für solidarisches und gemeinschaftliches Handeln.

Wo die Liebe hinfällt
Prominente Paare, aber auch „normale“ Paare, bei denen die Frau wesentlich älter ist als der Mann, rücken durch publikumswirksame Medien zunehmend in den Blick der Öffentlichkeit. „Ungleiche“ Paare sind in der Wirklichkeit angekommen. Dennoch zeigt sich das Umfeld im Allgemeinen irritiert und ortet Skandalfähigkeit. Die Sozialwissenschaften machten bisher einen großen Bogen um die Frage, was „ungleiche“ Paare zusammenführt und zusammenhält. Brigitte Brandstötter untersucht in ihrer Studie die gesellschaftlichen Rahmenbedingungen, die „ungleiche“ Paarbeziehungen erst möglich machen bzw. sie behindern. Welches neue Rollen- und Sittenbild zeigt sich durch die Verbindung „Frau mit jüngerem Partner“? Welche gesellschaftlichen Rahmenbedingungen beeinflussen diese Paarkonstellation? Geben „ungleiche“ Paare Stoff für eine neue Variante romantischer Liebe?

Because They Hate
A New York Times bestseller, "Because They Hate" is a political wake-up call told through a very personal memoir frame. Brigitte Gabriel lost her childhood to militant Islam. In 1975, she was ten years old and living in Southern Lebanon when militant Muslims from throughout the Middle East poured into her country and declared jihad against the Lebanese Christians. "Because They Hate" warns that the U.S. is threatened by fundamentalist Islamic theology in the same way Lebanon was - radical Islam will stop at nothing short of domination of all non-Muslim countries. Gabriel saw this mission start in Lebanon, and she refuses to stand by silently while it happens in America. Gabriel sees in the West a lack of understanding and a blatant ignorance of the ways and thinking of the Middle East. She also points out mistakes the West has made in consistently underestimating the single-mindedness with which fundamentalist Islam has pursued its goals over the past thirty years.Fiercely articulate and passionately committed, "Because They Hate" tells Gabriel's personal story as well as outlines the history, social movements, and religious divisions that have led to this critical historical conflict.

Relative Races
In Relative Races, Brigitte Fielder presents an alternative theory of how race is ascribed. Contrary to notions of genealogies by which race is transmitted from parents to children, the examples Fielder discusses from nineteenth-century literature, history, and popular culture show how race can follow other directions: Desdemona becomes less than fully white when she is smudged with Othello's blackface, a white woman becomes Native American when she is adopted by a Seneca family, and a mixed-race baby casts doubt on the whiteness of his mother. Fielder shows that the genealogies of race are especially visible in the racialization of white women, whose whiteness often depends on their ability to reproduce white family and white supremacy. Using black feminist and queer theories, Fielder presents readings of personal narratives, novels, plays, stories, poems, and images to illustrate how interracial kinship follows non-heteronormative, non-biological, and non-patrilineal models of inheritance in nineteenth-century literary culture.

They Must Be Stopped
"They Must Be Stopped" is "New York Times" bestselling author Brigitte Gabriel's warning to the world: We can no longer ignore the growth of radical Islam-we must act soon, and powerfully. Gabriel challenges our western and politically-correct notions about Islam, demonstrating why radical Islam is so deadly and how we can halt its progress.Brigitte Gabriel speaks her mind: Islam is a religion rooted in 7th century teachings that are fundamentally opposed to democracy and equality; Radical Islamists are utterly contemptuous of all 'infidels' (non-Muslims) and regard them as enemies worthy of death; There are madrassas in America, and they are just one part of a growing radical Islamic army.Radical Islam exploits our legal system, our fairness, and our tolerance, by using our protection of religion to spread its hatred for western values; and, we must effectively organize a unified voice that says 'enough' to political correctness, and demands that government officials and our elected representatives do what is necessary to protect us.

Räumliche Dimensionen der Büroarbeit
Brigitte Petendra beschäftigt sich mit der räumlichen Dimension von Arbeit in einer flexibilisierten Arbeitswelt. Als Analysefall zieht sie den spezifischen Ort „Büro“ heran, der im Zuge des Abbaus bürokratischer und fordistisch-tayloristischer Arbeitsweisen sowie der Pluralisierung von Arbeitsorten zunehmend reorganisiert wird. Ausgehend von diesen Reorganisationsprozessen wird das moderne Büro als symbolisch-materielles Arrangement der Flexibilisierung von Arbeit betrachtet. Anhand von Interviews, Kognitiven Karten und Ortserkundungen werden vier Fälle komparativ analysiert und Wahrnehmungsprozesse sowie Alltagspraktiken der Büroarbeiter geschildert. Die Autorin arbeitet die Ambivalenz und Heterogenität der räumlichen Flexibilisierung von Arbeit heraus, die als Spannungsverhältnis zwischen der Auflösung traditioneller büroräumlicher Strukturen und deren Relokalisierungen beschrieben wird.

Hitler's Vienna
What turned Adolf Hitler, a relatively normal and apparently unexceptional young man, into the very personification of evil? To answer this question, acclaimed historian Brigitte Hamann has turned to the critical, formative, years that the young Hitler spent in Vienna. For it was here, behind the glittering curtain of artistic creativity, liberalism and prosperity, that the architect of the Holocaust was born. As a failing, bitter and desperately poor artist, Hitler experienced only the dark underbelly of Vienna, which was seething with fear, racial prejudice, anti-semitism and conservatism. Drawing on previously untapped sources - from personal reminiscences to the records of shelters where Hitler slept - Hamann vividly recreates the dark side of fin de siecle Vienna and paints the fullest and most disturbing portrait of the young Hitler to date - the genesis of the most terrifying dictator the world has ever known.
