The ArtsApril 2010Humphrey Jennings
by Keith Beattie, Brian McFarlane, Neil Sinyard
Humphrey Jennings has been described as the only real poet that British cinema has produced. His documentary films are remarkable records of Britain at peace and war, and his range of representational approaches transcended accepted notions of wartime propaganda and revised the strict codes of British documentary film of the 1930s and 1940s. Poet, propagandist, surrealist and documentary filmmaker - Jennings' work embodies an outstanding mix of startling apprehension, personal expression and representational innovation. This book carefully examines and expertly explains the central components of Jennings' most significant films, and considers the relevance of his filmmaking to British cinema and contemporary experience. Films analysed include Spare Time, Words for Battle, Listen to Britain, Fires Were Started, The Silent Village, A Diary for Timothy and Family Portrait. ;

July 2000Golgatha. Aller Seelen
Traumspiel. Stücke und Materialien
by Werner Fritsch
Aller Seelen: Allerseelen 1943: Ein Mann wird vor Jen Augen seines kleinen Sohnes von Wehrmachtssoldaten unweit der slowenischen Grenze erschossen. Sie verdächtigen ihn, Partisanen unterstützt zu haben. Allerseelen 1945 die gleiche Szene in Deutschland: Aber dieses Mal wird der Mann von ehemaligen KZ-Häftlingen ermordet, die blindwütig Rache nehmen. Dazwischen liegt die Hölle eines KZs, datiert Allerseelen 1944. Golgatha: Pastor Kurt, ein Mann der Friedensbewegung und Verteidiger der Schwachen, wird des Mordes an seiner Frau Corinna angeklagt. Alles spricht dafür, daß er sie bestialisch umgebracht hat. In seinem Stück zeigt Werner Fritsch den Kampf des gesellschaftlich am Pranger stehenden Geistlichen, ohne sich ein Urteil über dessen Schuld oder Unschuld anzumaßen.

April 2018Imaginierte Zukunft
Fiktionale Erwartungen und die Dynamik des Kapitalismus
by Jens Beckert, Stephan Gebauer
Im kapitalistischen Wirtschaftssystem richten Konsumenten, Investoren und Unternehmerinnen ihr Handeln auf die Zukunft aus. Diese birgt Chancen und Risiken, ist aber vor allem eines: ungewiss. Wie gehen die Akteure mit dieser Ungewissheit um? Ökonomen beantworten diese Frage mit verschiedenen Theorien, die auf die Berechenbarkeit des Marktes setzen. Dadurch wird die Nichtvorhersagbarkeit der Zukunft unterschätzt. Jens Beckert nimmt die temporale Ordnung des modernen Wirtschaftslebens ernst und entwickelt einen neuen Blick auf die Dynamik des Kapitalismus. Im Mittelpunkt seiner Untersuchung stehen die fiktionalen Erwartungen der Akteure – Imaginationen und Narrative darüber, was die Zukunft bringt. Mit den Instrumenten der Soziologie und der Literaturtheorie liefert er eine umfassende Typologie dieser Erwartungen, untersucht ihre Funktionsweisen in Bereichen wie Geld, Innovation und Konsum und zeigt vor allem, wie mächtig sie sind. Fiktionale Erwartungen sind der Treibstoff der Ökonomie, können diese aber auch in tiefe Krisen stürzen, wenn sie als hohle Narrative entlarvt werden. Dann platzt die Blase. Ein fulminantes Buch.

May 2025Stress-Resilient Crops
Coordinated omics-CRISPR-nanotechnology strategies
by Jen-Tsung Chen
Climate change and the increase in environmental stress that it causes has made the need for more stress-tolerant crops to be developed worldwide. This book presents cutting-edge coordinated "omics-CRISPR-nanotechnology" strategies for combating diverse stressors and complicated or multiple stress conditions experienced by crops today. It covers both abiotic and biotic stresses including salinity, temperature, drought, heavy metals, pests and pathogens, and proposes ways to develop stress-tolerant crops with high-yield and high-quality traits through the integration or coordination of three mainstream technologies (multiple omics, CRISPR/Cas9, and nanotechnology). This book is a valuable reference and guide to crucial aspects of methods, applications, and future directions and it opens the door for students and researchers to efficiently view these critical subtopics of plant science and technology and inspire ideas for future experiments.
