September 2023Warum Klasse zählt
by Erik Olin Wright, Philipp Hölzing, Oliver Nachtwey
Was sind soziale Klassen? Was kennzeichnet sie, wie entstehen sie und wie wirken sie sich auf das Leben der Menschen aus? Der amerikanische Soziologe Erik Olin Wright hat sich ein Leben lang mit diesen Fragen beschäftigt und die bedeutendste sozialwissenschaftliche Neuformulierung der Klassentheorie vorgelegt. Sein klassischer Aufsatz »Klasse verstehen« sowie ein ausführliches Interview mit Wright darüber, warum Klasse zählt, liegen mit diesem Band nun erstmals in deutscher Übersetzung vor. Die Klassentheorie kennt drei große Traditionen: Stratifizierungsansätze definieren Klasse anhand individueller Eigenschaften und Lebensbedingungen, weberianische Ansätze anhand von Mechanismen der Chancenhortung und marxistische Ansätze anhand von Mechanismen der Ausbeutung und Herrschaft. Für Wright besteht die zentrale Aufgabe nun darin, diese Mechanismen zu verstehen, um sie in einem Erklärungsmodell zu vereinen, das die Mikroebene der Klasseneffekte, die sich an Eigenschaften von Individuen zeigen, mit den Wirkungen der Makroebene, die durch die Art der strukturellen Positionen auf dem Markt und in der wirtschaftlichen Produktion generiert werden, verbindet. Ein Meilenstein der Klassentheorie!

Film theory & criticismOctober 2013The child in Spanish cinema
by Sarah Wright
In this, the first full-length treatment of the child in Spanish cinema, Sarah Wright explores the ways that the cinematic child comes to represent 'prosthetic memory'. The central theme of the child and the monster is used to examine the relationship of the self to the past, and to cinema. Concentrating on films from the 1950s to the present day, the book explores religious films, musicals, 'art-house horror', science-fiction, social realism and fantasy. It includes reference to Erice's The Spirit of The Beehive, del Toro's Pan's Labyrinth, Mañas's El Bola and the Marisol films. The book also draws on a century of filmmaking in Spain and intersects with recent revelations concerning the horrors of the Spanish past. The child is a potent motif for the loss of historical memory and for its recuperation through cinema. This book is suitable for scholars and undergraduates working in the areas of Spanish cinema, Spanish cultural studies and cinema studies.

September 2016Kill your Darling!
13 Trennungsstorys, die Geschichte machten
by Jennifer Wright, Jenny Merling
Stell dir vor, du sitzt mit einer Packung Eiscreme in der einen, einer Flasche Gin in der anderen Hand auf dem Sofa, Tränen rinnen deine Wangen hinab und du wiederholst mantrahaft, wie sehr du deinen Ex geliebt hast. Lass dir gesagt sein: Es könnte viel schlimmer sein! Du könntest beispielsweise von deinem Verflossenen enthauptet werden, aus Rache fremde Männer kastrieren oder das Leben mit einer Sexpuppe verbringen. In Kill your Darling! präsentiert die New Yorker Journalistin Jennifer Wright die dreizehn skurrilsten und blutigsten Schlussmachepisoden der Geschichte – vom Massenmörder Nero bis hin zu Oskar Kokoschka –, boshaft-ironisch und doch mit der richtigen Dosis Empathie. Ein Buch für alle, die geliebt haben und verlassen wurden; für alle, die spätnachts zu viele Wut-E-Mails an ihre Verflossenen geschickt haben. Mit diesen Storys wird schnell klar: Was auch immer passiert ist, es hätte noch viel, viel schlimmer kommen können …

July 1970Über Gewißheit
by Ludwig Wittgenstein, Georg Henrik Wright, G. E. M. Anscombe, Rush Rhees
Der Jubiläumsband 250 der Bibliothek Suhrkamp ist ein durch und durch philosophisches Buch. Ludwig Wittgenstein (1898-1951) – in der angelsächsischen Welt als »der größte Philosoph des 20. Jahrhunderts« geachtet, während bei uns die Diskussion über ihn erst beginnt – zieht in diesem Buch eine Summe. Er stellt die Frage: was und wie können wir wissen? Welche Grundgewißheiten gibt es in unserer Sprache, in unserem Denken, denn nur wenn wir sie wissen, können wir miteinander sprechen und uns verstehen. Die Aufzeichnungen zielen auf die Grenzen unserer Erfahrung und die Möglichkeit des Erkennens. ›Über Gewißheit‹, zum ersten Mal aus dem Nachlaß veröffentlicht, in den letzten Lebensmonaten Wittgensteins entstanden, die letzte Seite zwei Tage vor seinem Tod. Henrik von Wright schrieb: »Noch zwei Tage vor seinem Tode schrieb er neue Gedanken. Diese gehören zum Besten, was er gedacht hat.«

The European or Mediterranean cultivated olive (Olea europaea L., subsp. europaea, var. europaea) is one of the most ancient cultivated fruit tree crops. Today, hundreds of olive varieties are grown to produce high-quality fruit for oil and for table olives consumption. The olive industry has undergone profound innovations in the past 30 years, due to scientific and technical advances, particularly in genomics, breeding, orchard management, mechanization and agro-ecology, although not all these developments are yet available to smaller producers. Olive cultivation has also spread to many countries outside the Mediterranean Basin, where it ihas been traditionally present for over 6,000 years. These new olive-growing countries are experiencing further expansion of the industry, due to increased awareness of the nutritional and health properties of extra virgin olive oil. This book is a much-needed update on olive biology and cultivation, with contributions from leading international experts, and includes: Biology Genetics and breeding Olive propagation and nursery Planting new olive orchards Horticultural management of olive orchards Plant protection Olive by-products (wood, leaves) Multifunctionality of olive groves and ecosystem services The Olive: Botany and Production is invaluable for researchers and students in horticulture and agriculture, as well as producers involved in olive orchard management.

Humanities & Social SciencesJanuary 2020The life–cycle in Western Europe, c.1300–c.1500
by S. H. Rigby, Deborah Youngs
This is the first study to examine the entire life cycle in the Middle Ages. Drawing on a wide range of secondary and primary material, the book explores the timing and experiences of infancy, childhood, adolescence and youth, adulthood, old age and, finally, death. It discusses attitudes towards ageing, rites of passage, age stereotypes in operation, and the means by which age was used as a form of social control, compelling individuals to work, govern, marry and pay taxes. The wide scope of the study allows contrasts and comparisons to be made across gender, social status and geographical location. It considers whether men and women experienced the ageing process in the same way, and examines the differences that can be discerned between northern and southern Europe. The fourteenth and fifteenth centuries suffered famine, warfare, plague and population collapse. This fascinating consideration of the life cycle adds a new dimension to the debate over continuity and change in a period of social and demographic upheaval.

Parasitology (non-medical)November 1998Physiology and Biochemistry of Free-living and Plant-parasitic Nematodes
by Edited by Roland N Perry, Denis J Wright
Accurate and detailed information on the fundamental biology of free-living and plant-parasitic nematodes has several important functions. It is needed to gain an understanding of their highly complex ecology and, since many plant-parasitic nematodes are major agricultural pests, it also greatly enhances attempts to implement crop protection strategies. In addition, information on physiology and biochemistry has particular relevance to studies of gene function in nematodes and the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has become established as one of the most important model organisms for molecular genetic studies. Written by leading research workers from Europe, USA, Australia and New Zealand, this is the only up-to-date reference book which reviews and integrates all the current research findings on the physiology and biochemistry of these organisms, including the molecular information which has accumulated in recent years. It is essential reading for researchers, advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students and lecturers in plant nematology, parasitology, plant pathology and agricultural zoology and will also be a valuable reference source for students of invertebrate biology, crop protection, and pest management.
