May 1990Sozialstruktur und Kultur
Herausgegeben von Hans Haferkamp
by Hans Haferkamp, Geoff Hunter
Die Wiederbesinnung der soziologischen Analyse auf den Erklärungsfaktor Kultur Ende der siebziger Jahre gründete nicht auf der Unterstellung der Dominanz der Kultur. Zwar legte sie besonderes Gewicht auf die Untersuchung der kulturellen Bedingtheit sozialen Geschehens, bestritt aber keineswegs den Einfluß von Sozialstruktur auf Kultur, mit anderen Worten: die soziale Bedingtheit der Kultur. Der Band »Sozialstruktur und Kultur«, in dem namhafte Vertreter verschiedener europäischer Theoriesektionen als Autoren vertreten sind, greift die Verknüpfung beider Analysestränge explizit auf. Ausgehend von der Frage nach dem Sinn und der Tragfähigkeit der analytischen Unterscheidung von Struktur und Kultur und der Darlegung der interkulturellen Besonderheiten in der Konzeptualisierung, erhalten wir Einblick sowohl in die grundlegende Theoriediskussion in Europa als auch in empirisch faßbare Materialisationen von Struktur und Kultur in einzelnen Ländern.

November 2020Hunter Peak
by Chen Yingsong
Through five years of meticulous preparation and hard work in the mountains, the author has gained more than 200,000 words of hard work. In the mountainous area of Shennongjia, Hubei, people believe that people are livestock for two hours a day. In today's world, humans and beasts are upside down, and humans and beasts are mixed, which is exactly what the people of Shennongjia say. In the novel "Hunter Peak", several generations of hunters with Bai Xiu at the core are fighting against the mountain, against the creatures in the mountain, against the people outside the mountain, and in this cruel fight or ups and downs in the changing times. Either twisted, surviving, or dying, they are no longer the objects of praise and worship in the traditional concept, but are also full of contradictions and loss, distortions and sacrifices. The work narrates a battle between humans and beasts encountered with wild boars, a modern legend of deep mountains and old forests, the great poetry of hunting, and the great mystery of survival. All are described and displayed incisively and vividly here.

Humanities & Social SciencesJanuary 2025The Strand
A biography
by Geoff Browell, Eileen Chanin
The first history of one of London's most extraordinary streets. Running along the Thames's northern shore and spanning three-quarters of a mile from Trafalgar Square to Temple Bar, the Strand has been a witness to London's growth and change from the earliest years of the city's existence. In The Strand: A biography, Geoff Browell and Eileen Chanin uncover the deep history of this remarkable street. Tracing its origins in the Roman era, they reveal how it grew in importance as authority shifted from church to aristocracy, then to commerce, media and law. Over time, everything that mattered converged on the Strand: tradition and ceremony clashed with rebellion and destitution. By 1910, the street was known as the 'centre of the world'. Drawing on remarkable archival discoveries, Browell and Chanin present the most complete and compelling history of the Strand ever written. Filled with surprising, untold stories, The Strand: A biography is a must-read for lovers of one of the world's greatest cities.

The ArtsApril 2011Roy Ward Baker
by Geoff Mayer, Brian McFarlane, Neil Sinyard
This book traces the career of Roy Ward Baker, one of the great survivors of the British film and television industry. He directed the landmark British film Morning Departure (1949), worked at Twentieth Century Fox in Hollywood in the early 1950s where he directed Marilyn Monroe's 'breakthrough' film (Don't Bother to Knock), and followed this with a succession of fine films for Rank, culminating in the best version of the Titanic disaster, A Night to Remember in 1958. Yet within three years he was unable to secure a job in the British film industry and he moved to television series such as The Avengers, The Saint and Minder. Later Baker re-emerged as a major director of science-fiction (Quatermass and the Pit) and horror films (Asylum). Geoff Mayer provides an industrial and aesthetic context in which to understand the interrelationship between a skilled classical director and the transformation of the British film industry in the 1950s. ;

March 2024Erinnerung an Hans
by Hermann Hesse, Volker Michels
Um sich den Verlust besonders nahestehender Menschen erträglicher zu machen, hatte Hermann Hesse die Gewohnheit, nachdem deren Todesnachricht ihn erreicht hatte und der Schmerz am empfindlichsten war, seine Erinnerungen an die Verstorbenen aufzuzeichnen. Denn eine der wichtigsten Funktionen der Literatur war für ihn das Aufbewahren des Vergänglichen im Wort, das Heraufbeschwören des Gewesenen durch möglichst genaue Schilderung. Solche Rückblicke, genannt »Gedenkblätter«, waren nicht nur Würdigungen der Verstorbenen, sondern stets auch Bestandteile seiner eigenen Lebensgeschichte. Zu den ergiebigsten dieser Aufzeichnungen gehören die Erinnerungen an seinen fünf Jahre jüngeren Bruder Hans, dem letzten der acht Nachkommen aus den beiden Ehen seiner Mutter. Wie es dazu kommen konnte, dass Hans sich im Alter von 43 Jahren das Leben nahm, berichtet der Dichter in dieser ergreifenden autobiografischen Erzählung. Das Nachwort schildert die Vorgänge aus anderen Quellen, ergänzt um die beiden Gedichte, die Hesse dem Bruder gewidmet hat.
