    Die Lesbarkeit der Romantik
    What is Romanticism? To answer this question, it is not enough to perpetuate the established views propagated in literary studies. Instead, this volume is concerned with making readable a knowledge culture for Romanticism and its semiotic systems. The chapters reflect in an interdisciplinary manner the communication on offer from Romanticism of its own understanding of literature and art and reconstruct how in different media, discourses and aesthetic processes the â??Romanticisation of the worldâ? is projected and effected as an ordering of knowledge. Thus they provide an opportunity for the exemplary formulation of a versatile cultural hermeneutics.Was Romantik sei, ist jenseits wissenschaftlicher Auffassungen und literaturgesellschaftlicher Übereinkünfte eine stimmig kaum zu beantwortende Frage. Die Beiträge dieses Sammelbandes zielen darauf, der Romantikforschung neue Impulse zu geben und versuchen aus einer übergreifenden, disziplinär sich kreuzenden Konzeption heraus, exemplarische Lektüren zu entwickeln. Das Kommunikationsangebot romantischer Selbstverständigung über Literatur und Kunst wird sowohl im werkbezogenen Entstehungshorizont wie auch als historisch weiter wirkendes Potenzial gelesen. Das Anliegen, die Welt zu romantisieren, veränderte materiell, medial, diskursiv und ästhetisch den Umgang mit Wissen und dem zugehörigen Zeichenrepertoire. Die Eigenart dieser vielschichtigen, mit dem Unbestimmten spielenden Epochenbewegung und die damit verbundene Problematik eines möglichen Verstehens ihrer ebenso reichhaltigen wie widersprüchlichen Produktivität fordern dazu heraus, über kulturhermeneutisch optimierte unddifferenzierte Zugangsoptionen nachzudenken. Das Ergebnis solchen Nachdenkens zielt auf eine multiple Wissensordnung der Romantik und deren Lesbarkeit.

    Bloody Women (eBook, ePUB)
    Bloody Women traces changing gender dynamics in the horror film industry to explore how women have played a crucial role in defining the genre of horror understood as a scholarly discipline, cultural institution, and site of pleasure. While acknowledging that women in the industry face ongoing challenges, this book focuses on their diverse contributions as creators, consumers, and critics of horror, showing how women have been essential in shaping the goals and methods of the genre. Aimed at both scholarly and general readers, the chapters bring together the expertise of filmmakers, festival programmers, and scholars to argue that women have effected a reimagining of horror. To this end, the volume considers a range of historical and theoretical issues relevant to gender and the genre of horror, broadly conceived. The collection explores, for example, female-directed horror films as a distinctive enterprise, one that is potentially marked by unique cinematic techniques and topical concerns. The book also moves into a more public domain, probing how the cultural experience of horror is transformed when the genre's major festivals and conventions are developed and directed by women. Together, these essays offer a wide-ranging investigation into the stakes of women's growing prominence in the horror industry. Most centrally, Bloody Women analyzes how the ethics, investments, and objectives of the genre shift when women deploy horror for their own enjoyment.

    Post Merger Integration Management
    Seminar paper from the year 2010 in the subject Business economics - Investment and Finance, grade: 1,7, University of Applied Sciences Berlin, language: English, abstract: Today's economy is shaped by globalization with market conditions changing rapidly and com-petition growing in many areas. In order to stay competitive, in every region of the world very often companies try to merge with other companies from either within their own market or from other regions or markets. Mergers and acquisitions (M&A), the term itself is used for diverse kinds of cooperation between companies, received a lot of public attention during the past dec-ades as several major M&A transactions have been effected. Although during the current worldwide economic struggles the global M&A transaction volume declined, expansion through M&As remains a central corporate growth strategy tool.To merge companies successfully, integration and harmonization processes which require a lot of attention and resources are very important in order to align the previously separate compa-nies' operations, strategies and culture. As only very few M&A transactions generate satisfying results and achieve their strategic and financial objectives, subject of this paper is to determine the requirements for successful post merger integration. After describing the range of motives for companies to engage in M&A, I will explain the challenges and the importance of post merger integration management (PMI) and provide guidelines how it can contribute to make a M&A transaction a success.

    Trouble with Dragons: Wizard Series, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 310min
    Jason stood in front of the gravestone of Coach Mossberg. The coach had been a mentor and protector to him. His sudden loss effected the whole community. Chills went down Jason's spine. It was an eerie feeling, like someone was looking at him. A voice from behind him said, "He's not here you know." Jason turned to see a short, straight-backed man standing there. "Talcott? Is that you? What are you doing here?" "I've come to bring you back." Jason shook his head vigorously. "I don't want to go back." The wizard's face reddened and his eyes flashed with anger. "You are the hero of the land, and the land needs you. You have no choice." Jason stepped back. He hadn't wanted to upset Talcott. He was just speaking the truth. Taking a deep breath, Talcott relaxed his shoulders. "There are dragons in the land. Coach Mossberg tried to help, but he's been captured by them and now sits behind bars in the dungeon. The evil king is free and sits again on the throne." "What happened, I thought the coach was dead?" "He is very much alive, but you need to save him and slay the dragons." "Dragons?" Jason's thought his heart would burst out of his chest it was beating so hard. "Fear not, you are the hero. The slayer of the Osgarth." "I'm just a high school kid." Talcott heaved a large sigh. "I thought you might come willingly this time. It matters not, you will still come." Then he turned and walked away, leaving Jason alone. Dejected, Jason walked home. I can't kill dragons.

This is the art of living in true happiness, as stoic principles guide us to live in harmony and flow with life's many challenges.

    The Crusader: Ronald Reagan and the Fall of Communism , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 832min
    Based on extraordinary research, here is a major reassessment of Ronald Reagan's lifelong crusade to dismantle the Soviet Empire, including shocking revelations about the liberal American politician who tried to collude with the USSR to counter Reagan's efforts. God and Ronald Reagan made presidential historian Paul Kengor's name as one of the premier chroniclers of the life and career of the 40th president. With The Crusader, Kengor returns with the one book about Reagan that has not been written: the story of his lifelong crusade against communism and of his dogged and ultimately triumphant effort to overthrow the Soviet Union. Drawing upon reams of newly declassified presidential papers as well as untapped Soviet media archives and new interviews with key players, Kengor traces Reagan's efforts to target the Soviet Union from his days as governor of California to the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of what he famously dubbed the "Evil Empire". The result is a major revision and enhancement of what historians are only beginning to realize: that Reagan not only wished for the collapse of communism but had a deep and specific understanding of what it would take and effected dozens of policy shifts that brought the USSR to its heels within a decade of his presidency. The Crusader makes use of key sources from behind the Iron Curtain, including one key memo that implicates a major American liberal politician in a scheme to enlist Soviet premier Yuri Andropov to help defeat Reagan's 1984 reelection bid. Such new finds make The Crusader not just a work of extraordinary history but a work of explosive revelation that will be debated as hotly in 2006 as Reagan's policies were in the 1980s. ungekürzt.

    The Integrated Self (eBook, ePUB)
    Well before his entry into the religious life in the spring of 386 C.E., Augustine had embarked on a lengthy comparison between teachings on the self in the philosophical traditions of Platonism and Neoplatonism and the treatment of the topic in the Psalms, the letters of St. Paul, and other books of the Bible. Brian Stock argues that Augustine, over the course of these reflections, gradually abandoned a dualistic view of the self, in which the mind and the body play different roles, and developed the notion of an integrated self, in which the mind and body function interdependently.Stock identifies two intellectual techniques through which Augustine effected this change in his thought. One, lectio divina, was an early Christian approach to reading that engaged both mind and body. The other was a method of self-examination that consisted of framing an interior Socratic dialogue between Reason and the individual self. Stock investigates practices of writing, reading, and thinking across a range of premodern texts to demonstrate how Augustine builds upon the rhetorical traditions of Cicero and the inner dialogue of Plutarch to create an introspective and autobiographical version of self-study that had little to no precedent.The Integrated Self situates these texts in a broad historical framework while being carefully attuned to what they can tell us about the intersections of mind, body, and medicine in contemporary thought and practice. It is a book in which Stock continues his project of reading Augustine, and one in which he moves forward in new and perhaps unexpected directions.

    Korsun Pocket: The Encirclement and Breakout of a German Army in the East, 1944 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 746min
    During the second half of 1943, after the failure at Kursk, Germany’s Army Group South fell back from Russia under repeated hammer blows from the Red Army. Under Erich von Manstein, however, the Germans were able to avoid serious defeats, while at the same time fending off Hitler’s insane orders to hold on to useless territory. Then, in January 1944, a disaster happened. Six divisions of Army Group South became surrounded after sudden attacks by the first and second Ukrainian Fronts under command of generals Nikolai Vatutin and Ivan Konev around the village of Korsun (near the larger town of Cherkassy on the Dnieper). The Germans’ greatest fear was the prospect of another Stalingrad, the catastrophe that had occurred precisely one year before. This time, though, Manstein was in control from the start, and he immediately rearranged his Army Group to rescue his trapped divisions. A major panzer drive got underway, led by General der Panzertruppen Hans Hube, a survivor from Stalingrad pocket, which promptly ran up against several soviet tank armies. Leading the break-in was Franz Baeke with his Tiger and Panther-tanks. Due to both weather and ferocious resistance, the German drive stalled. Ju-52s still flew into Korsun’s airfield, delivering supplies and taking out wounded, but it soon became apparent that only one option remained for the beleaguered defenders: breakout. Without consulting Hitler, on the night of February 16, Manstein ordered the breakout to begin. Led by the strongest formation within the pocket, SS Wiking, the trapped forces surged out and soon rejoined the surrounding panzer divisions who had been fully engaged in weakening the ring. When dawn broke, the Soviets realized their prey was escaping. Although the Germans within the pocket lost nearly all of their heavy weapons and left many wounded behind, their escape was effected. Stalin, having anticipated another Stalingrad, was left with little but an empty bag, as ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dick Hill.
