Bernhard Vogel repräsentiert wie kein anderer die Bundesrepublik und seine Partei, die CDU. Er übte das Amt des Ministerpräsidenten als bislang Einziger in zwei Bundesländern, in Rheinland-Pfalz und in Thüringen, aus, mehr als 23 Jahre, so lange wie niemand sonst. Sein beeindruckendes Erbe zeichnet sich durch außergewöhnliches politisches Engagement aus, das stets dem Gemeinwohl verpflichtet war. In diesem Buch öffnet der Autor die Tür zu seiner Kindheit und Jugend und die Zeit des Studiums. Vor allem aber beschreibt er seinen Werdegang in der Politik in West und Ost, die Begegnungen mit vielen Personen der Zeitgeschichte und die wichtigsten Wegmarken der bundesrepublikanischen Geschichte. Als Zeitzeuge von eminenter Bedeutung bietet er uns eine einzigartige Perspektive auf politische Ereignisse und Entwicklungen.

Film festivals around the world are in the business of making experiences for audiences, elites, industry, professionals, and even future cultural workers. Cinema and the Festivalization of Capitalism explains why these non-profit organizations work as they do: by attracting people who work for free, while appealing to businesses and policymakers as a cheap means to illuminate the creative city and draw attention to film art. Ann Vogel's unprecedented systematic sociological analysis thus provides firm evidence for the 'festival effect', which situates the festival as a key intermediary in cinema value chains, yet also demonstrates the impact of such event culture on cultural workers' lives. By probing the various resources and institutional pillars ensuring that the festivalization of capitalism is here to stay, Vogel urges us to think critically about publicly displayed benevolence in the context of cinema—and beyond.

The Corona pandemic has shown us more than any other recent event that when it comes to a global crisis, we are all in the same boat. In a complex world, we need cooperation to meet global challenges. Networks can provide a structure that enables cooperation and offers promises of being flexible and adaptable. This paper will focus on transnational and transdisciplinary knowledge networks formed by alumni – people who have experienced collective training at the start of their network journeys. Through this shared experience, I see a special potential for these types of networks to engage in collaborative work and create a wider impact in society. The overall question of this paper is: How can knowledge networks fully develop their transformative potential through strategic alumni management? This question is of interest to network facilitators, especially of alumni networks. In order to address the challenge, the paper first presents findings from the alumni management literature focusing on the definition of alumni management, its relevance and the life stages of ideal alumni. This is complemented by insights from the social movement area that highlight the development paths of networks as well as the success factors for social impact networks. Empirical examples from existing alumni networks elaborate the success factors within their work. From these three areas, five recommendations are deduced. [...]

"Peruvian migrant workers began migrating to South Korea in large numbers in the early 1990s, eventually becoming one of the largest groups of non-Asians in the country. Migrant Conversions shows how Peruvians have come to see Korea as their divine destiny. Faced with looming departures, Peruvians develop cosmopolitan plans that transform them from economic migrants into pastors, lovers, and leaders. Set against the backdrop of the 2008 world economic crisis, Vogel explores the intersections of three types of conversions--money, religious beliefs, and cosmopolitan plans--to argue that conversions are how migrants negotiate the meaning of their lives in a constantly changing Korean context. At the convergence of cosmopolitan projects spearheaded by the state, Protestant churches, and other migrants, Peruvians change the value and meaning of their migration. Yet, in attempting to make themselves at home in the world, they also create potential losses. As Peruvians help carve out social spaces, they create complex and uneven connections between Peru and Korea that challenge a global hierarchy of nations and migrants"--
