Humanities & Social SciencesFebruary 2012The personalisation of politics in the UK
Mediated leadership from Attlee to Cameron
by Ana Langer
What does it mean to say that modern politics is personalised? To what extent is it more personalised than in the past, what is distinctive about contemporary forms of personalisation and are these changes enduring? This book addresses these questions. It re-thinks the concept of personalisation and develops an analytical framework for its study, in the process challenging current theorisation and bridging the political science and media studies approaches to the subject. Moreover, it presents new, rich and rigorous empirical data about how personalisation has developed over time in the UK, from 1945 to 2009. Its conceptual depth and empirical range makes the book a must-read for anyone researching the phenomenon of personalisation internationally, and a benchmark for future studies. It is also highly accessible to undergraduate and graduate students in political communication, British politics and media studies. ;

December 2015Frauen, die wir lieben
Filmdiven und ihre heimlichen Verehrer
by Freddy Langer
Von Ava Gardner, Katharine Hepburn und Romy Schneider, über Marilyn Monroe und Audrey Hepburn hin zu Catherine Deneuve und Charlotte Rampling – die Grandes Dames der Kinoleinwand, die als unwiderstehliche Ikonen, betörende Schönheiten und verwegene Femmes fatales in die Geschichte des Films eingingen, begeistern nicht nur Filmenthusiasten immer wieder aufs Neue, sie haben seit jeher auch Männerherzen höherschlagen lassen. Freddy Langer versammelt in diesem Band die schönsten Liebeserklärungen von Schauspielern, Autoren, Filmemachern, Musikern, Malern, Journalisten, Regisseuren – die geistreich, subtil, direkt, leidenschaftlich, witzig oder tiefsinnig, dabei aber immer ganz ehrlich ihre Verehrung zum Ausdruck bringen. Mit Texten von Volker Schlöndorff, Harry Rowohlt, Peter Härtling, Markus Kavka und vielen anderen.

September 2021Kamala Harris
Ein Porträt
by Marie-Astrid Langer
Im suffragettenweißen Anzug tritt Kamala Harris am 7. November 2020 auf die Bühne in Wilmington, Delaware, als erste Vizepräsidentin der Vereinigten Staaten. Ihre Worte gehen um die Welt, sie selbst wird zur Ikone … Die US-Korrespondentin Marie-Astrid Langer gibt Einblick in die entscheidenden Momente auf dem Lebensweg von der Einwanderertochter zur mächtigsten Schwarzen Frau in Washington. Ihre Mutter aus Indien, ihr Vater aus Jamaika, beide zum Studieren in das Land der unbegrenzten Möglichkeiten gekommen, beide in der Bürgerrechtsbewegung aktiv, und so bekommt Kamala Harris den Kampf für Gleichberechtigung vom ersten Tag an in die Wiege gelegt. Als Grenzgängerin zwischen der harten Realität der Schwarzen Communities und den linken Eliten Kaliforniens entwickelt sie früh ihr politisches Denken, ihr Engagement, ihren Ehrgeiz. Und mit einer Vision von Freiheit, Toleranz und Gerechtigkeit, tief geprägt von der afroamerikanischen Geschichte, macht sie sich an einen unvergleichlichen Aufstieg, der mehr als einmal an den Widersprüchen und Ungleichheiten eines Landes zu scheitern droht.
