        Medientheorie 1888–1933

        Texte und Kommentare

        by Albert Kümmel, Petra Löffler

        Diese Anthologie dokumentiert umfassend weitgehend unbekannte Quellentexte zur frühen Medientheorie. Sie beschränkt sich nicht auf ein Einzelmedium, sondern thematisiert sowohl drahtlose Telegraphie als auch Photographie, Kino, Radio, Bildfunk und Fernsehen. Dabei wird Mediengeschichte als Diskursgeschichte rekonstruiert, indem diejenigen Debatten im Mittelpunkt stehen, die den Prozeß der Epistemologisierung von Medialität prägten. In dessen Zentrum stehen der Begriff der »Masse« und solche Begriffe, die Vermassungsphänomene in den Kontext der neuen Kommunikationsmöglichkeiten stellen. Kurze Kommentare und mehrfache Register ergänzen den Dokumentationsteil und bieten so ein praktisches Handbuch mit Quellentexten der Medientheorie. Petra Löffler und Albert Kümmel sind wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiter im Forschungskolleg »Medien und kulturelle Kommunikation« der Universitäten Aachen, Bonn und Köln.

        Martin Luther und Katharina von Bora

        Der rebellische Mönch, die entlaufene Nonne und der größte Bestseller aller Zeiten

        by Petra Gerster, Christian Nürnberger

        Ein unbekannter Mönch, der sich mit dem Papst anlegt, und eine adlige Ordensschwester, die aus dem Kloster flieht: Martin Luther und Katharina von Bora waren ein skandalträchtiges Paar! Christian Nürnberger und Petra Gerster begeben sich auf die Spuren des Paares. Sie zeigen, wie Luther die katholische Kirche und die gesamte damalige Welt zum Wanken brachte und wie sich das bis heute auf unser Leben auswirkt. Und welch große Unterstützung dieser mutige und unbeirrbare Mann von seiner Frau Katharina von Bora erhielt – sie war ihm eine ebenbürtige, geistreiche Gesprächspartnerin, hielt ihm den Rücken frei und regelte den häuslichen Alltag und die finanziellen Angelegenheiten der Familie. »Eine beeindruckende, unterhaltsame und lehrreiche Lektüre zu Luther und seiner Zeit, die aus der Vielzahl der zum Jubiläumsjahr schon erschienenen Titel heraussticht.« Jury des EMYS-Sachbuchpreises
