Wer und was ist der 'schreibende Mann'? In der heutigen Geschichtslandschaft begründen 'schreibende Frauen' fast ein eigenes Genre (populär-)wissenschaftlicher Anthologien. Männliches Schreiben aber, das Männlichkeitsvorstellungen vermutlich stärker formte als jede andere kulturelle Praxis, erfährt nur selten historiografiegeschichtliche Aufmerksamkeit. Diese Beobachtung ist für den Band Ausgangspunkt eines Nachdenkens über historiografische Perspektivität: Wo und wie schrieben Männer über sich selbst und über das Selbst im Anderen? Der Band erkundet in einer Reihe essayistischer Beiträge Selbstzeugnisse von Männern und auto-/biografisches Schreiben in Bezug auf Geschlecht. Who and what is a 'male writer'? While 'writing women' are almost a genre in their own right, represented in popular and scholarly anthologies, 'male' writing, which has probably shaped ideas of masculinity more than any other cultural practice, rarely receives historiographical attention. This observation is the starting point for the volume's reflections on historiographical perspective: Where and how have men written about themselves and about the self in the other? In a series of essays, the volume explores men's self-documentation and autobiographical writing in relation to gender

"Das sowohl politische wie jüdische Opfer, das ich war und bin, kann nicht schweigen, wenn unter dem Banner des Anti-Zionismus der alte miserable Antisemitismus sich wieder hervorwagt." Jean Amérys Essays, die zwischen 1969 und 1976 geschrieben wurden, erschrecken geradezu durch ihre Aktualität. Sie lesen sich in ihrer Prägnanz, als wären sie für den heutigen Tag geschrieben. Ausgehend von seinem Judesein, das ihm von den Nürnberger Gesetzen aufgezwungen wurde, beschreibt Jean Améry seine existentielle Bindung an Israel, seine Solidarität ist jedoch nicht bedingungslos. Und doch ist für ihn Israel das Land, das allen entrechteten Juden der Welt den aufrechten Gang gelehrt hat. Hier spricht sein Schmerz, weil er, von jeher ein Linker, die Neue Linke, die Israel als kolonialistisch betrachtet, nicht mehr erreichen kann: Ihr selbstgerechter Antizionismus steht ihm als unausrottbarer Antisemitismus klar vor Augen.

"This edited volume brings together a diverse group of leading scholars in communication, media studies, political science, sociology, and related fields to analyze the relationship between media and the events of January 6, 2021. The authors in this volume argue that the attempted coup at the U.S. Capitol was a politically significant event that laid bare both America's tortured democratic history and the constellation of threats to its future as a multi-racial democracy. These scholars also argue for the important role of media, not only news media but platforms and social media, in creating the conditions that led to January 6th. This is especially important given that U.S. governmental reports have often failed to substantially take up the role of media in the political violence at the U.S. Capitol. The volume is organized around three key questions: How Should We Understand January 6, 2021? What should research look like after January 6, 2021? And, how can we prevent another January 6, 2021? It concludes with an assessment of where we should go from here if we share a commitment to democracy in the United States. The scholarship collected here helps researchers, policymakers, journalists, and members of the public understand what happened on January 6th and the relationship of media to it, in addition to laying out ideas for preventing another attempted coup and bolstering multi-racial democracy"--

"Providing an overview of urban social movements from a diverse range of empirical and theoretical perspectives, this Handbook includes not only a critical analysis of the transformations that have occurred in the urban landscape recently, but also sheds light on the strategies implemented by social actors in various socio-political and cultural contexts. It focuses on better understanding how and to what extent collective action around urban issues remains relevant in our modern world. Top international scholars introduce the main features of urban movements from countries and cities around the world, including across Africa, Asia, Europe and North and South America, to highlight their diversity as well as the multiple scales through which they are employed. The Handbook first documents the concrete forms of contemporary urban movements, before highlighting new developments in the field, particularly in the face of new forms of communication, and finally examines the specificity of contemporary urban movements in the context of emerging unexpected local and global challenges. With a broad range of case studies and in-depth coverage of key issues, this Handbook is critical reading for urban studies and social movement studies scholars. The practical advice offered throughout also makes this an invigorating read for representatives of international institutions working on urban policies and development, as well as urban activists looking for a more in-depth study of the field"--
