        Does Movement Really Make Us Smart?

        by Petra Jansen, Stefanie Richter

        Media reports often praise movement as a cure-all. But apart from its undisputed positive effect on health, does movement really make us smarter? Consider a national football team, for example – are these excessively sports-driven players automatically the smartest people? Should we simply replace all school subjects with sports? The authors provide a detailed summary of the latest scientific findings on the influence of movement on cognitive ability. They describe the effects of movement, on old age, embodiment, emotion, school as well as other factors that influence cognition. Target Group: teachers, lecturers, psychologists, psychiatrists, neurologists, psychotherapists, movement therapists.

        Chantal Akerman

        by Marion Schmid, Diana Holmes, Robert Ingram

        Chantal Akerman is widely acclaimed as one of the most original and important directors working in Europe today. A towering figure in women's and feminist film-making, she has produced a diverse and intensely personal body of work ranging from minimalist portraits of the everyday to exuberant romantic comedies, and from documentaries and musicals to installation art. This book traces the director's career at the crossroads between experimental and mainstream cinema, contextualising her work within the American avant-garde of the 1970s, European anti-naturalism, feminism and the post-modern aesthetics. While offering an in-depth analysis of her multi-faceted film style, it also stresses the social and ethical dimension of her work, especially as regards her representation of marginal groups and her exploration of exilic and diasporic identities. Particular attention is given to the inscription of the Holocaust and of Jewish memory in her films. ;

        The rise and fall of the Scottish cotton industry, 1778–1914

        'The secret spring'

        by Anthony Cooke

        This is the first full-length history of the Scottish cotton industry, from its beginnings in the late eighteenth century to its premature decline in the years leading up to the First World War. The book examines the industry chronologically and through themes such as precursors, technology, capital and employers, markets, labour and work, placed within their broader economic and scoial contexts. Its account of the cotton industry is set within important historiographical debates such as proto-industrialisation, the speed of industrial change, the diffusion of technology, the labour process, paternalism, workplace control, entrepreneurship and theories of industrial decline. Cotton was Scotland's premier industry during the Industrial Revolution and this book will be wlecomed by specialists, students and interested readers alike. ;

        Über das Politische

        Wider die kosmopolitische Illusion

        by Chantal Mouffe, Niels Neumeier

        In westlichen Gesellschaften sind post-politische Konzepte des Dritten Weges derzeit en vogue. Sie propagieren eine konsensuelle Form von Demokratie jenseits der politischen Opposition von rechts und links. Chantal Mouffe kritisiert daran, daß diese Konzepte die antagonistische Dimension des Politischen und die Ambivalenz der menschlichen Natur leugnen. Nach einer Analyse des Begriffs des Politischen, die sich auf Carl Schmitt stützt, übt Mouffe Kritik an Habermas, Rorty, Giddens und Beck. Unter Bezug auf aktuelle Probleme wie den Terrorismus deckt sie Defizite und politische Gefahren post-politischer Konzepte auf und argumentiert zwingend gegen die Möglichkeit eines universalen rationalen Konsenses und für den antagonistischen Charakter von Politik. Über das Politische ist eine kritische Auseinandersetzung mit dem aktuellen Zustand und der Zukunft der Demokratie. Chantal Mouffe ist Professorin für Politische Theorie am Centre of the Study of Democracy an der Universität Westminster.
