Humanities & Social SciencesMay 2009Governance as social and political communication
by Henrik Bang, Martin Hargreaves
Governance is among the most used of new ideas in the social sciences, most notably in the fields of political science, public administration, sociology, social and political theory. As ever, debates within disciplines rarely transcend disciplinary boundaries. This volume, newly available in paperback, brings together authors from these fields to elaborate on the development of governance analysis in new conceptions of political and democratic communication. It not only seeks to identify, describe and evaluate the contribution of each discipline to a theory of communicative governance, but also lays the foundation of a multidisciplinary framework for studying the mediation in communicative governance of societal concerns for effectiveness, order and participation. The book is theoretical and comparative, drawing on authors and research in Britain, Denmark, France, Germany, the Netherlands and the US. It adopts an anti-foundational approach to deconstruct the essentialist discourses endemic in each discipline and the disciplinary traditions of each country. Notions such as steering and control in public administration, identities and domination in sociology, and the community and self in social and political theory are analysed in depth. The book will demonstrate clearly how the distinctive traditions of each discipline lead them to construct overlapping, loosely coupled, and sometimes incommensurable ideas about the institutions, politics and policies of governance. ;

February 2007Das weiße Haus/Das graue Haus
Zwei Romane
by Herman Bang, Walter Boehlich, Walter Boehlich
Herman Bang, der große dänische Erzähler, wurde 1857 als Sohn eines Pfarrers geboren. Seine Kindheit im weißen Haus verklärt sich in seiner Erinnerung zum Zustand reinen, lichtdurchfluteten Glücks, eng verbunden mit der Beziehung zur Mutter. Das graue Haus hingegen steht für Alter, Verfall und Unglück und ist mit der Person des Großvaters verknüpft. Man kann die beiden autobiographischen Romane, es sind Bangs bekannteste Werke, jeden für sich lesen, aber sie gehören zusammen.

Exzentrische Existenzen
Erzählungen und Reportagen
by Herman Bang, Ulrich Sonnenberg, Ulrich Sonnenberg, Ulrich Sonnenberg
Furios war Herman Bangs Start ins literarische Leben: Bereits als Fünfundzwanzigjähriger hatte er acht Bücher und 140 Feuilletons geschrieben und einen Pornographieskandal überstanden. Tatsächlich kam der 1857 geborene Pastorensohn eher notgedrungen zum Schreiben. Nach dem Tod seiner Eltern war er gezwungen, sich einen Broterwerb zu suchen, um sein dandyhaftes Leben aufrechterhalten zu können. Innerhalb kurzer Zeit wurde er zu einem der bekanntesten Journalisten Kopenhagens – aber auch zu einem der umstrittensten. Denn seine exzentrische Lebensweise und seine offen gelebte Homosexualität provozierten die bürgerliche Gesellschaft. Der vorliegende Band versammelt Erzählungen aus allen Schaffensperioden in einer neuen, der kraftvollen Sprache Bangs gerecht werdenden Übersetzung, so die psychologische Studie Irene Holm, das Eifersuchtsdrama Die vier Teufel oder die bissige Satire Ein schöner Tag. Ergänzt wird der Band durch Reportagen, unter anderem über den Brand von Schloß Christiansborg oder den Besuch im belgischen Gheel, der »Stadt der Wahnsinnigen«. Herman Bang, der mit seinen Romanen Das graue Haus und Das weiße Haus berühmt wurde, entwirft in seinen Erzählungen genaue Porträts von Menschen, oft am Rande der Gesellschaft. In seinen Reportagen, die hier großenteils zum ersten Mal in deutscher Übersetzung erscheinen, erweist sich Bang als kritischer Beobachter seiner Zeit.

EconomicsApril 2000CAP Regimes and the European Countryside
by Edited by Floor Brouwer, Philip Lowe

It focuses on the role of agricultural policy in reducing harmful effects and/or creating benefits to the physical environment, landscape and nature. Emphasis is given to comparative studies, rather than any limited to one country. The commodity regimes of the CAP – e.g. the beef, wine and olive oil regimes – are considered in detail.

Humanities & Social SciencesFebruary 2024‘Survival Capitalism’ and the Big Bang
Culture, contingency and capital in the making of the 1980s financial revolution
by Emma Barrett
This book about the Thatcher government and the City of London tells the compelling human story of the people and processes that made Britain's 1980s financial revolution. Fusing insider testimony with new archival discoveries, it examines high stakes and networked solutions, and uncovers new objectives that drove reforms. In so doing it demystifies a major shift in capitalism. This has implications for our understandings of government and capitalism, from the way we think about the origins of subsequent financial crises to today's growing inequalities. Survival Capitalism offers new insights into the last major restructuring of the City, disrupts myths surrounding the logics of the market, and pays attention to people and processes at a time when the City of London again faces major change as Britain seeks to find its place outside the European Union in the wake of Brexit.

Humanities & Social SciencesJanuary 2025Out of the depths
The first collection of Holocaust songs
by Joseph Toltz, Anna Boucher
Available for the first time in English translation, this collection of songs is a powerful memorial to the victims of the Holocaust. In June 1945, before the full devastation of the Holocaust had emerged, a team of researchers embarked on a remarkable project. While documenting the experiences of Jewish refugees, they began to collect songs composed and sung in the Nazi camps and ghettos. The resulting book, Mima'amakim (Out of the depths), was published in a short run of 500 copies. Today, only a handful survive. Out of the depths: The first collection of Holocaust songs presents the contents of this extraordinary document for a new generation of readers. Based on a copy of Mima'amakim discovered in 2013, it contains not only the songs' melodies and lyrics, the latter in a new translation by Joseph Toltz, but also short biographies of the composers, drawn from painstaking original research. Introductory essays provide historical and musicological background, deepening our knowledge of this terrible event and the creative means by which the Jewish people responded to and endured it. Described by the original editor, Yehuda Eismann, as a 'memorial stone for Polish Jewry', the songbook is a timeless document of a people's despair, hope and strength.
