Beyond the Hero
Go Beyond the Hero's Journey––and Unlock the Real Secret of Writing Successful ScreenplaysHave you ever wondered what it takes to write a great movie script? Studied your favorite films to see what makes them so magical? Beyond the Hero: Relationship-Driven Screenwriting and the Secret to Hollywood’s Greatest Scripts is a how-to screenwriting guide built on the foundational idea that great movies—across all genres and styles—are driven by a core relationship between two central characters. Using this fresh alternative to the singular “Hero’s Journey” approach dominating most screenwriting instruction and theory, unlock patterns in the movies we love to reveal a vast gallery of dramatic duos and gain a new perspective on creating your own engrossing, compelling scripts. Beyond the Hero readers will understand that what truly captures the attention and emotion of an audience is the fate of this dramatic couple, with audiences wondering “what will happen to them next?” Through workshop-style lessons and exercises, author and screenwriter Michael Weiss offers step-by-step guidance—from brainstorming, outlining, and writing a first draft, to revising, time management, and pitching—teaching screenwriters how to craft their own relationship driven screenplays from premise to sale. First-time screenwriters and industry veterans alike will find a new set of useful tools to take their scripts to the next level and create more powerful, Hollywood-ready screenplays.

Die politische Philosophie Michael Walzers
Anliegen dieses Buches ist es, das politische Denken des amerikanischen Theoretikers Michael Walzer systematisch zu rekonstruieren. Statt einer vorgängigen Zuordnung Walzers zu "Kommunitaristen" oder "Liberalen" wird seine politische Philosophie aus ihrem inneren Zusammenhang heraus verstanden. Das Einleitungskapitel wendet sich Walzers Sicht der gegenwärtigen Aufgabe einer in der Tradition der demokratischen Linken stehenden politischen Theorie zu, wie er sie noch vor dem Ausbruch der Kommunitarismusdebatte dargestellt hat. Walzers selbstgestecktes Ziel, trotz des Verzichtes auf ein gesellschaftstheoretisch oder moralphilosophisch abgesichertes Fundament zur Formulierung einer "kohärenten Perspektive" zu gelangen, wird als theoretischer Ausgangspunkt der folgenden Überlegungen genommen. Inhaltlich wird bei Walzers Plädoyer für eine an der moralischen Alltagserfahrung orientierte Gesellschafts- und Herrschaftskritik sowie für eine egalitäre Politik der Gemeinschaft angesetzt. Im ersten Teil wird der metatheoretische Standpunkt Walzers analysiert, das heisst seine Vorstellung von einer interpretativ verfahrenden politischen Philosophie und Gesellschaftskritik sowie seine Sicht des moralischen Universalismus. Der zweite Teil behandelt Walzers Stellungnahmen zu zentralen Problemen, Begriffen und Konzepten der politischen Theorie wie "politische Gemeinschaft", "Krieg und Frieden", "Liberalismus", "Demokratie" und "zivile Gesellschaft". Gegenstand des dritten Teils ist Walzers Gerechtigkeitstheorie. Abschließend fragt der Autor nach der Bedeutung Walzers im Rahmen der politischen Philosophie der Gegenwart.

Michael A. Weinstein
This book is a major reassessment of Michael Weinstein’s political philosophy. It situates his singular contribution, designated as "critical vitalism," in the context of both canonical American and contemporary continental theory. Weinstein is presented as a philosopher of life and as an American Nietzsche. Yet the contributors also persuasively argue for this form of thinking as a prescient prophecy addressing contemporary society’s concern over the management of life as well as the technological changes that both threaten and sustain intimacy. This is the first full scale study of Weinstein’s work which reveals surprising aspects of a philosophic journey that has encompassed most of the major American (pragmatic or vitalist) or Continental (phenomenological or existential) traditions. Weinstein is read as a comparative political theorist, a precursor to post-structuralism, and as a post-colonial border theorist. A different aspect of his oeuvre is highlighted in each of the book’s three sections. The opening essays comprising the "Action" diptych contrasts meditative versus extrapolative approaches; "Contemplation" stages a series of encounters between Weinstein and his philosophic interlocutors; "Vitalism" presents Weinstein as a teacher, media analyst, musician, and performance artist. The book contains an epilogue written by Weinstein in response to the contributors.
