    Abstract: Written by the insider who headed sales for Lucasfilm across distribution markets and managed the release of Star Wars Episode III, this is the first book to show how all related media distribution markets, including television, video and online, work together and independently to finance and maximize profits on productions. It demystifies how an idea moves from concept to profits and how distribution quietly dominates an industry otherwise grounded in high profile elements (production, marketing, creative, finance, law). The book provides a unique apprenticeship to the business, illuminating at a macro level how an idea can move from concept to generating $1 Billion, relating theory and practice in the context of the maturation of global market segments, and exposing the devil in the detail that impacts bottom line profits. Producers, media executives, students and entertainment attorneys in specific niches will benefit from this wide-ranging look at the business across various distribution outlets, including theatrical, video, television, online, merchandising, video-on-demand, etc. This book is officially endorsed by Variety magazine. * Covers the entire range distribution outlets; learn how your speciality relates to the big picture * The definitive book on how studios and networks make money; apply the knowledge and concepts to your business - endorsed by Variety magazine! * Demystifies net and gross: learn how/when you get the money once you've produced a film *Includes perspectives from leading industry executives from studios, networks and online leaders, including Fox, Paramount, MGM, ABC, Lucasfilm, Pixar, YouTube, Hulu, Amazon, etc. *Illustrates historical film windows, the economic drivers behind them, and how online and digital delivery applications are changing the landscape * Relates economic theory, in the trenches practices, market history and current trends *Explores and highlights online influences to each sub-distribution market (e.g., film, video, TV) throughout the development, production, financing, marketing and distribution chain

    Abstract: Wehr's Hermes on Two Wheels examines an interesting social phenomenon closely in order to derive insights about the contradictions and challenges of our accelerated era of laptop capitalism. He shows that the Internet-driven post-Fordist era cannot dispense with actual people, who dodge traffic in order to deliver important pulp documents on time. In this, he brilliantly opposes technological optimism, which assumes that utopia is a chatroom. Bicycle messengers, an edgy crew, live on the edges of our fast society and help us see it more clearly. This book is very much in the tradition of Walte

Hierzu gehören prominente Fachvertreter, die Institute, Zeitschriften oder Fachgesellschaften gründeten, weichenstellende Kongresse abhielten, Standardwerke verfassten, Theorien entwickelten oder provozierende Hypothesen aufstellten. Aber auch wenig bekannte, zu ihrer Zeit und in ihrem Bereich jedoch nachhaltig wirkende Persönlichkeiten sowie Außenseiter, denen die Sexualwissenschaft wichtige Impulse verdankt, sind im vorliegenden Lexikon zu finden - ebenso bekannte Philosophen und Soziologen wie etwa Michel Foucault, Norbert Elias oder Niklas Luhmann. Ein besonderes Anliegen ist den Herausgebern die Erschließung des Werkes jener jüdischen Sexualwissenschaftler, die der Naziterror aus Deutschland vertrieben hat. Es gibt kein vergleichbares Werk weltweit. Volkmar Sigusch, Arzt und Soziologe, ist einer der angesehensten Sexualwissenschaftler der Gegenwart. Er hatte bis zu seiner Emeritierung den Frankfurter Lehrstuhl für Sexualwissenschaft inne und gründete das gleichnamige Institut. Günter Grau, Medizinhistoriker, arbeitete an den medizinhistorischen Instituten der Universität Leipzig und der Charité Berlin sowie am Institut für empirische und angewandte Soziologie der Universität Bremen.

    Abstract: Examine the cultural and political implications of male-to-female gender performance! The Drag Queen Anthology: The Absolutely Fabulous but Flawlessly Customary World of Female Impersonators examines the phenomena of male-to-female gender performance and the people who live it. This provocative collection of original essays explores the possibilities, limitations, ironies, and controversies surrounding men who perform as women to an audience that knows the truth but celebrates the illusion. The book's contributors call on extensive backgrounds in sociology, anthropology, theater, literature - even military studies - and use a variety of approaches to address common themes and genres of presentation, performance, and style in a wide range of historical settings and cultures."--Jacket

    Abstract: Fashion is bound up with promoting the 'new', concerned with constantly changing aesthetics. The favoured styles or looks of a season arise out of the work of a vast range of different actors who collectively produce, select, distribute and promote the new ideals, before moving on to next season. How, then, are fashionable commodities stabilized long enough for them to be selected, distributed and sold? Since there are few studies that actually examine the work that goes on inside the world of fashion, we know little about these processes. This book addresses this gap in our knowledge by exami

    Abstract: Welche langfristigen Konsequenzen hat die imperiale Herrschaft für die Menschen auf der Südseite des Globus? Wie kann man Feminismus interkulturell ausbuchstabieren, ohne dabei voreilig die (aus westlicher Sicht) „andere" Frau auf eine passive Opferrolle festzulegen? Wie relevant ist Marx Kapitalismuskritik für die Arbeiterinnen auf der Südhälfte des Globus? Dies sind die Kernfragen der indischstämmigen Kulturwissenschaftlerin Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak. Dieses Buch stellt das Werk dieser vielseitigen und ausgesprochen anspruchsvollen Denkerin erstmals einem deutschsprachigen Publikum vor. Es

    Abstract: Das spätmittelalterliche Mediterraneum war geprägt von komplexen Gesellschaften mit einem hohen Grad kultureller Heterogenität. Menschen mit unterschiedlichen ethnischen, religiösen und linguistischen Hintergründen lebten zum Teil schon seit Generationen, zum Teil erst kurzfristig mit- oder nebeneinander und kamen auf unterschiedlichen Ebenen miteinander in Kontakt. Die Erforschung dieser spätmittelalterlichen mediterranen "hotspots" kultureller Diversität verspricht wichtige Erkenntnisse über die Konstruktion von sozialen und kulturellen Identitäten und über die integrativen und desintegrativen Prozesse in komplexen pluralen Gesellschaften. Dieser international und interdisziplinär zusammengestellte Sammelband behandelt Aspekte interkultureller Kommunikation, wie sie in Architektur, Bildkunst, Handwerksproduktion und Schrifttum reflektiert werden, untersucht die Genese hybrider Kunstformen sowie Kulturpraktiken und fragt nach der Rolle und Selbstverortung spezifischer Personen und Korporationen in interkulturellen Kontaktsituationen.

    Abstract: Does the American Jewish experience represent a singular communal circumstance, or does it repeat, with obvious and unavoidable variation, the older European pattern of Jewish existence? In 2004, on the occasion of the 350th anniversary of the establishment of the American Jewish community, this question seemed well worth revisiting. To explore it more fully, the Elie Wiesel Center for Judaic Studies at Boston University brought together a distinguished group of expert scholars on the main areas of American Jewish life, stretching from the colonial Jewish experience to the image of Jews in con

    Abstract: This publication is based on the results of piloting the African Gender and Development Index (AGDI) in 12 African countries across the five subregions of the continent. Making a case for countries to invest in sex disaggregated data collection, the outcomes provide an indication of the general situation of women across the continent. The result of the AGDI trials demonstrate that countries have shown commitment to international, regional and subregional treaties affecting women through overwhelming ratification. The report confirms existing MDG status reports which indicate remarkable progress being made with respect to MDG2 on universal Access to Basic Education. With the aid of systematic collection of sex aggregated data, the report calls for enhanced commitment towards accelerated implementation of gender equality as outlined in frameworks such as the ICPD+15, Beijing+15, the Convention of the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women and the African Women's Protocol.--Publisher's description

    Abstract: In the early years of the Republic, as Americans tried to determine what it meant to be an American, they also wondered what it meant to be an American child. A defensive, even fearful, approach to childhood gave way to a more optimistic campaign to integrate young Americans into the Republican experiment. In this work, historians unearth the experiences of and attitudes about children and youth during the decades following the American Revolution. Beginning with the revolution itself, the contributors explore a broad range of topics, from the ways in which American children and youth participated in and learned from the revolt and its aftermaths, to developing notions of ideal childhoods as they were imagined by new religious denominations and competing ethnic groups, to the struggle by educators over how the society that came out of the Revolution could best be served by its educational systems. The volume concludes by foreshadowing future child saving efforts by reformers committed to constructing adequate systems of public health and child welfare institutions. Rooted in the historical literature and primary sources, this book is a resource in our understanding of origins of modern ideas about children and youth and the conflation of national purpose and ideas related to child development

    Abstract: This is a collection of invited papers that honours Professor Jacob Mey on the occasion of his eightieth birthday. Professor Mey is, and has for a long time been, at once one of the most respected, enterprising, industrious, scholarly and, now, avuncular members of the numerous linguistics communities in which he has worked. He has made, over a distinguished working life, significant contributions to all of the sub-disciplines of linguistics, from phonetics, through phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics and especially pragmatics. He has sought to make connections between these sub-disciplines and broader areas of thought. These connections have resulted in ground breaking advances in, for example, Japanese sociolinguistics, pragmatics and artificial intelligence, Marxist linguistics, pragmatics and therapy, pragmatics and machine-processed information, gender and language, literary pragmatics and societal pragmatics. The collection ends with an in-depth discussion between Professor Mey and one of the editors in which Professor Mey speaks fully and frankly about his life in language and language in life

    Abstract: Zeven jaar nadat minister De Geus de voltooiing van de emancipatie van 'autochtone' vrouwen afkondigde en de bevrijding van de 'allochtone' vrouwen aankondigde, maken vrouwelijke auteurs van diverse komaf en generaties een totaal andere balans van multicultureel Nederland op.Niet met achterstandspercentages, want emancipatie is geen rechte weg met voorlopers en achterblijvers. Wel met verhalen over de verschillende levensroutes en voor de hand liggende en onverwachte dwarsverbindingen tussen groepen vrouwen.Trefwoord voor het vinden van de verschillen en overeenkomsten is autonomie.

    Keywords: Power (Social sciences) ; Social theory ; Political science & theory ; Political Science ; General ; Power (Social sciences) ; Electronic books ; Electronic books
    Abstract: It is an exciting time to consider changes in the field of comparative-historical sociology, as the discipline seeks to accommodate both old and new trends as well as the transforming spatial scales in which political power and social theory are increasingly embedded. Volume 20 of "Political Power and Social Theory" starts the ball rolling by showcasing articles that pursue similar themes. The question of what is old and what is new hovers over most of the contributions, particularly the peer-reviewed chapters in parts I and II, which consider such long-standing socio-historical concerns as power structure theory, class-based collective action, and empire - but examine them through new conceptual, methodological, and historical lenses. This year's volume also offers a critical treatment of the spatial or territorial dynamics of state hegemony, class power, ideologies of governance, and citizenship - with the latter theme most well developed in debate over the new geographies of citizenship in the Scholarly Controversy Section as well as in part-II's guest-edited section on Empire and Colonialism

    Abstract: Drawing on texts written by and about European and Euro-American captives in a variety of languages and genres, this book explores the role of captivity in the production of knowledge, identity, and authority in the early modern imperial world. The practice of captivity attests to the violence that infused relations between peoples of different faiths and cultures in an age of extraordinary religious divisiveness and imperial ambitions

    Abstract: When players play, there is a transactional process at work, whether for children on a teeter-totter or pandas playing with peers. In this edited volume, nine experts on play show how play transactions are an important dynamic of play across cultures, agegroups, even species. A rich array of play contexts is evident across the nine chapters, encompassing varied continents, age groups, and sorts of players. The play processes of giant pandas, of home-visiting therapists, of Polynesian women, and of autistic kids are included here. The healthy interchange of ideas about play, one of the hallmark

    Abstract: If personal and national identity is often constructed in terms of place, how do our identities and values change as places themselves are transformed? What happens to the spaces in which we live as societal values and identities change? These questions can be asked of almost any discipline, whether one is taking a photograph or mapping a literary topography, tracing linguistic change in a geographic region or language's importance to our conception of a political territory, building a house

Writing media history is no longer a matter of charting the historical development of an individual medium such as film or television. Instead, now that various media from blockbuster films to everyday computer use intersect regularly via convergence, scholars must find new ways to write media history across multiple media formats. This collection of€eighteen new essays by leading media historians and scholars examines the issues today in writing media history and histori

    Abstract: America is the most punitive nation in the world, incarcerating more than 2.3 million people--or one in 136 of its residents. Against the backdrop of this unprecedented mass imprisonment, punishment permeates everyday life, carrying with it complex cultural meanings. In The Culture of Punishment, Michelle Brown goes beyond prison gates and into the routine and popular engagements of everyday life, showing that those of us most distanced from the practice of punishment tend to be particularly harsh in our judgments. The Culture of Punishment takes readers on a tour of the sites where culture an

    Abstract: "Gender and colonial space is a trenchant analysis of the complex relation between social relations, including notions of class, nationality and gender, and spatial relations, landscape, architecture and topography -- in post-colonial contexts." "Arguing against much of the psychoanalytic focus of much current post-colonial theory Mills aims to set out in a new direction, drawing on a wide range of literary and non-literary texts to develop a more materialist approach. She foregrounds gender in this field where it has often been marginalised by the critical orthodoxies demonstrating its importance not only in spatial theorising in general, but in the post-colonial theorising of space in particular." "Concentrating on the period of high British colonialism at the close of the nineteenth century, she examines a range of contexts, looking at a range of colonial contexts such as India, Africa, America, Canada, Australia and Britain, illustrating how relations must be analysed for the way in which different colonial contexts define and constitute each other."--Jacket

    Abstract: Focuses on a series of critical questions concerned with the restructuring of work under capitalism at the beginning of the 21st century. This book addresses a wide array of workplace settings, from traditional manufacturing settings to 'knowledge work' in high tech and university contexts, Analysts are generally agreed - dramatic changes are unfolding in the character of work, managerial authority, and the employment relationship. However, there is little agreement as to precisely how such changes are reshaping people's working lives, the nature of their careers, and the distribution of opportunity among members of different classes, genders, and ethnic groups. Confronting these issues head on, this text focuses on a series of critical questions concerned with the restructuring of work under capitalism at the beginning of the 21st century. The papers collected here address a wide array of workplace settings, from traditional manufacturing settings to 'knowledge work' in high tech and university contexts. The volume devotes attention to the impact of production concepts in various national settings, ranging from Germany to Mexico and Australia. Among other themes, the volume also examines the linkage between gender inequality and efforts to establish innovative, 'flexible' forms of work organization

    Abstract: Gerade im höheren Lebensalter ist die Vielfalt der Alterns- und Lernstile besonders groß, auch die Leistungspotenziale sind verschieden. Sylvia Kade rückt die Zeitdimension des Lernens in den Mittelpunkt und entwirft eine Didaktik der differentiellen Bildung. Für ihre Lernmodelle berücksichtigt sie die historische Entwicklung im Umgang mit Alter genauso wie die Diskussion um die demografische Entwicklung, die Lebensstile und Bildungsprofile des Alterns oder die institutionellen Angebote der Altersbildung.   Biographische Informationen Sylvia Kade leitete zwischen 1982 und 2002 Projekte zur Altersbildung beim Deutschen Institut für Erwachsenenbildung (DIE).   Reihe Erwachsenenbildung und lebensbegleitendes Lernen - Grundlagen & Theorie - Band 7.

Daraus kann allerdings nicht der Schluss gezogen werden, Kindesaussetzung sei in der Zeit der Antike ein ganz alltägliches Phänomen gewesen. Zum einen lässt sich über deren Häufigkeit aus der Distanz von mehr als zweitausend Jahren nichts Sicheres sagen. Zum anderen gab es eine namhafte Zahl an Texten antiker Schriftsteller, in denen Kritik an der Kindesaussetzung geübt wird. Die entsprechenden Quellen sind in der vorliegenden Studie erstmals gesamm

    Abstract: Sharon Zukin argues that the rapid and pervasive demand for authenticity--and the consequent escalating real estate prices--has helped drive out the very people who first lent a neighborhood its authentic aura: immigrants, the working class, and artists. Zukin traces this economic and social evolution in six archetypal New York areas--Williamsburg, Harlem, the East Village, Union Square, Red Hook, and the city's community gardens--and shows that for followers of Jane Jacobs, this transformation is a perversion of what was supposed to happen.

    Abstract: Dying and death are topics of deep humane concern for many people in a variety of circumstances and contexts. However, they are not discussed to any great extent or with sufficient focus in order to gain knowledge and understanding of their major features and aspects. The present volume is an attempt to bridge the undesirable gap between what should be known and understood about dying and death and what is easily accessible. Included in the present volume are chapters arranged in three sections. First, there are chapters on aspects of dying, written by people who have professional experience and

    Abstract: As South Africa consolidates its democracy, chieftaincy has remained a controversial and influential institution that has adapted to recent changes. J. Michael Williams examines the chieftaincy and how it has sought to assert its power since the end of apartheid. By taking local-level politics seriously and looking closely at how chiefs negotiate the new political order, Williams takes a position between those who see the chieftaincy as an indigenous democratic form deserving recognition and protection, and those who view it as incompatible with democracy. Williams describes a network of formal and informal accommodations that have influenced the ways state and local authorities interact. By focusing on local perceptions of the chieftaincy and its interactions with the state, Williams reveals an ongoing struggle for democratization at the local and national levels in South Africa.

    Abstract: Dimensions of Social Exclusion focuses largely on social exclusion in the context of communities and social groups who have or have not been considered in discussing the benefits of mainstream inclusive society or development. Contemporary understanding of social exclusion has revived great interest among academics, researchers and policy makers in understanding problems from the perspectives of social exclusion. The decision to adopt the perspective of social exclusion has not been universal

    Abstract: This intellectual biography of Lev Shternberg (1861-1927) illuminates the development of professional anthropology in late imperial and early Soviet Russia. Shortly after the formation of the Soviet Union the government initiated a detailed ethnographic survey of the country's peoples. Lev Shternberg, who as a political exile during the late tsarist period had conducted ethnographic research in northeastern Siberia, was one of the anthropologists who directed this survey and consequently played a major role in influencing the professionalization of anthropology in the Soviet Union
