        Coline Serreau

        by Brigitte Rollet

        Coline Serreau became famous in 1985 when her third film, Trois hommes et un couffin (Three Men and a Baby), the most successful French film of the 1980s. She was already known in France for her major contribution to feminist documentaries with the acclaimed Mais qu'est-ce qu'elles veulent?, a series of interviews with French women made between 1975 and 1977. She is now a key figure in French cinema and drama, with international hits including Romuald et Juliette (1989) and La Crise (1992). This appraisal of her work situates her films within the social, cultural and political context of France since May 1968, and assesses th emajor impact of the women's movement on French society and culture. Politics and sexual politics, two key aspects of Serreau's films and plays, are thoroughly examined. This book also considers the cultural influences of her work, and provides an overview of her films and filmic skills. Special attention is given to comedy, the cinematographic genre favoured by Serreau and the French audience, which is apprehended from a historical and gendered perspective. The clarity of the style and the wide-ranging analysis of Serreau's films and filming techniques make this book relevant both to students of film and film enthusiasts.

        Postdemokratie revisited

        by Colin Crouch, Frank Jakubzik

        Mit seinem Buch Postdemokratie sorgte Colin Crouch 2008 in Deutschland für Furore. In seiner so pointierten wie scharfsinnigen Analyse konstatiert er, dass die Demokratie in den westlichen Gesellschaften im Begriff sei, zur bloßen Hülle zu werden: demokratische Wahlen und Institutionen würden zwar aufrechterhalten, politische Entscheidungen jedoch de facto in den Chefetagen der Wirtschaft getroffen. Das Buch wurde zum Überraschungserfolg. Colin Crouch hatte eine Debatte um den Verfall der repräsentativen Demokratie losgetreten und ihr mit ›Postdemokratie‹ einen Namen gegeben.Jetzt legt Crouch eine Bestandsaufnahme seiner Thesen vor: Wie gut haben verschiedene Demokratien die Corona-Pandemie bewältigt? Wie hat der Aufstieg des Rechtspopulismus demokratische Erosionsprozesse beeinflusst? Und welche Rolle spielen feministische Forderungen im Kampf gegen die Postdemokratie?

        Gig Economy

        Prekäre Arbeit im Zeitalter von Uber, Minijobs & Co.

        by Colin Crouch

        Ob Foodora, Deliveroo oder Uber – die Unternehmen der Plattformökonomie bieten denen, die für sie arbeiten, oft das Schlechteste aus beiden Welten: die Unfreiheit von Angestellten gepaart mit der Unsicherheit von Freelancern. Die sogenannte Gig Economy ist allerdings nur die Spitze des Eisbergs. Längst ist auch das Standard-Beschäftigungsmodell in die Krise geraten: Minijobs und aufgeweichter Kündigungsschutz, unfreiwillige Teilzeit und Zeitarbeit sind allesamt Facetten einer Entwicklung, die den Arbeitsmarkt des globalen Nordens seit den späten siebziger Jahren erschüttert. Colin Crouch liefert eine differenzierte Analyse und bietet Vorschläge für zeitgemäße Reformen, mit denen die Unsicherheiten auf dem Arbeitsmarkt abgefedert werden könnten.

        Ist der Neoliberalismus noch zu retten?

        Ist der Neoliberalismus noch zu retten?

        by Colin Crouch

        Dass es den Neoliberalismus gar nicht gibt, dass es sich dabei nur um einen »Kampfbegriff« handelt, ist zu einem Hauptargument (dem letzten?) seiner Verteidiger geworden. Kaum ein Autor hat dabei so viel zum Verständnis dieses Konzepts beigetragen wie Colin Crouch. Angesichts des rechtspopulistischen Widerstands gegen die marktradikale Form der Globalisierung, angesichts von wachsender Ungleichheit und von Tragödien wie der Brandkatastrophe im Londoner Grenfell Tower stellt Crouch nun die Frage, ob der Neoliberalismus noch zu retten ist. Jenseits polemischer »Dämonologie« und ohne das Kind mit dem Bade auszuschütten, analysiert er die Schwachpunkte dieses Ansatzes. Mit der ihm eigenen Blindheit für seine sozialen Nebenfolgen ist der, so Crouch, Neoliberalismus endgültig selbstzerstörerisch geworden. Werden die Konzerne und Individuen, die bislang von ihm profitieren, das einsehen und endlich umsteuern?

        The family tree detective

        Tracing your ancestors in England and Wales

        by Colin Rogers

        The long-awaited fourth edition of this best-selling manual continues to offer up-to-date guidance both to newcomers and to the more experienced, on how to make best use of the labyrinth of genealogical sources in England and Wales. It takes into account recent, and even some future, changes to the civil registration system, and incorporates many of the vast sources newly available on the internet. There is also a substantial bibliography for those who discover that their ancestors migrated from other countries. New appendices provide research into underregistration of birth and death, and hitherto unpublished details from the 1915 and 1939 National Registers. The family tree detective remains an indispensible source of information on how to locate births, marriages and deaths, and alternative strategies if those searches fail. Dr Colin D. Rogers is a Fellow of the Society of Genealogists, a member of AGRA (the Association of Genealogists and Researchers in Archives), and was for thirty years the Hon. General Editor of the Lancashire Parish Register Society. He runs a consultancy helping banks and solicitors to identify and locate beneficiaries. ;

        Über das befremdliche Überleben des Neoliberalismus

        Postdemokratie II

        by Colin Crouch, Frank Jakubzik

        Spätestens als Lehman Brothers im September 2008 Insolvenz anmelden mußte, hatte es für einen kurzen Moment den Anschein, als habe die letzte Stunde des Neoliberalismus geschlagen: Nachdem das Mantra vom Markt und von der Privatisierung seit den siebziger Jahren in aller Munde war, sollten nun die Regierungen eingreifen, um systemrelevante Banken zu retten. Die Kompetenz der Wirtschaftsführer stand massiv in Frage. Heute, nur drei Jahre später, bekommen die Manager wieder riesige Boni. Zur Refinanzierung der Rettungspakete werden Sozialleistungen gekürzt. Die Logik des radikalen Wettbewerbs und des unternehmerischen Selbst prägt nach wie vor unsere Mentalität. Wie ist das möglich? Diese Frage stellt Colin Crouch in seinem großen neuen Essay. Der Autor des vielbeachteten Bestsellers »Postdemokratie« zeichnet die Ideengeschichte des Neoliberalismus nach und betont, daß der Konflikt Staat vs. Markt zu kurz greift: Es sind die gigantischen transnationalen Konzerne, unter denen die Demokratie »und« das Marktmodell leiden. Doch wir können uns wehren, indem wir uns auf unsere Werte und unsere Macht als Verbraucher besinnen. Das ist Crouchs optimistische Vision einer sozialen und demokratischen Marktwirtschaft.

        Don't Believe Everything You Think

        How to stop making decisions that let you down, lead you astray and keep you from success

        by Colin J Browne

        When it comes to making great decisions, the way you think about things is usually a lot more influential than what you actually think. If you ever hired a person who ‘looks the part’, dated someone who ‘gives you a good feeling’, voted for the party that ‘speaks the most sense’ or got into an investment that ‘cannot be missed’, only to realise you made a horrible mistake, you might have wondered how you ever talked yourself into it. Yet, still bearing the bruises, you’re likely to make exactly the same decision the next time. The beliefs that guide your ideas and the instincts that drive your actions, are all informed by your unconscious biases (and literally every single one of us has them), which irrationally tell us one thing is good and another is bad; one thing is absolutely true and another is utterly false; and make you act less smartly than you should. But the good news is that you can learn to see them, to manage them and ultimately overcome them. In Don’t Believe Everything You Think, Colin J Browne shows you how biases work, why they matter, and how to reframe your thinking to make well-founded decisions about life and work, relationships and investing, and much else in between, to vastly improve your chances of success.

        In the shadow of Enoch Powell

        Race, locality and resistance

        by Shirin Hirsch, John Solomos

        Fifty years ago Enoch Powell made national headlines with his 'Rivers of Blood' speech, warning of an immigrant invasion in the once respectable streets of Wolverhampton. This local fixation brought the Black Country town into the national spotlight, yet Powell's unstable relationship with Wolverhampton has since been overlooked. Drawing from interviews and archival material, this book offers a rich local history through which to investigate the speech, bringing to life the racialised dynamics of space during a critical moment in British history. What was going on beneath the surface in Wolverhampton and how did Powell's constituents respond to this dramatic moment? The research traces the ways in which Powell's words reinvented the town and uncovers highly contested local responses. While Powell left Wolverhampton in 1974, the book returns to the city to explore the collective memories of the speech which continue to reverberate. In a contemporary period of new crisis and national divisions, revisiting the shadow of Powell allows us to reflect on racism and resistance from 1968 to today.

        Climate Change and Global Health

        by Colin Butler

        There is increasing understanding, globally, that climate change will have profound and mostly harmful effects on human health. This authoritative book brings together international experts to describe both direct (such as heat waves) and indirect (such as vector-borne disease incidence) impacts of climate change, set in a broad, international, economic, political and environmental context. This unique book also expands on these issues to address a third category of potential longer-term impacts on global health: famine, population dislocation, and conflict. This lively yet scholarly resource explores these issues fully, linking them to health in urban and rural settings in developed and developing countries. The book finishes with a practical discussion of action that health professionals can yet take. Now with added chapter updating key changes affecting climate change and health through 2015, culminating with UN secretary general Ban Ki Moon's hopeful comment "What was once unthinkable is now unstoppable". Climate change, now clearly worsening, is triggering a powerful social and technological response. Will this response be sufficient to avert its potentially catastrophic "tertiary" health effects? ; In this authoritative book, international experts examine long-recognised areas of health concern for populations vulnerable to climate change, describing effects that are both direct, such as heat waves, and indirect, such as via vector-borne diseases. ; a: Contributorsb: Acronymsc: Acknowledgementsd: Dedication - Colin D.

        The militant Irish republican movement in America, 1923–45

        by Gavin Wilk

        This book examines the militant Irish republican movement in the United States from the final months of the Irish Civil War through to the Second World War. The narrative carefully and creatively intertwines the personalities, events and policies that shaped the activism during this period and shows the evolution of its inherently transnational nature. Through a bottom-up historical analysis that incorporates an examination of more than eighty archival collections in the US, Ireland and Britain, the book presents for the first time an account of the anti-Treaty IRA veterans who arrived in the US after the Irish Civil War. Upon their settlement in Irish-American communities, these republicans directly influenced and guided the US-based militant republican organisation, Clan na Gael, transformed the overall dynamics of militant Irish republicanism in America and provided leadership and co-ordination for an IRA bombing campaign. With the inclusion of these veterans' stories, the book provides a fresh interpretation of the inter-war movement in America that shows it to be far from as stagnant, wayward and detached from Irish affairs as has previously been claimed. ;

        Tadeusz Kowalik and Poland’s return from socialism to capitalism

        Full circle

        by Gavin Rae

        Tadeusz Kowalik lived through ten decades and three economic and political systems in Poland. He combined his academic study of economic ideas with his socialist ideals of building a fairer and more just society. This book covers the intellectual and political work of Kowalik, within the context of modern Polish history. Kowalik was part of a Polish School of critical left-wing political economists, that included Michal Kalecki and Oskar Lange. Kowalik contributed to the body of work produced by this group, which included his interpretation of their work. Kowalik participated in some of the most momentous events in post-war Polish history, helping to organise a group of intellectuals to advise the shipyard workers at the Gdansk shipyards in 1980. He became a vehement opponent of Poland's neoliberal form of capitalism and left a body of work that illuminates our understanding of capitalism and socialism today.
