        Kanaillen-Kapitalismus

        Eine literarische Reise durch die Geschichte der freien Marktwirtschaft

        by César Rendueles, Raul Zelik

        Nach dem Erscheinen seines Essays Soziophobie schrieb die taz, César Rendueles verbinde »eine antikapitalistische Haltung mit einem abgeklärten Wissen um die Komplexität von Gesellschaften«. Wissen darüber, wie die Welt vor der freien Marktwirtschaft aussah und wie die ökonomische Logik nach und nach alle Lebensbereiche durchdrungen hat, entstammt immer auch der Lektüre fiktionaler Literatur. In seinem neuen Buch erkundet Rendueles seine persönliche Lesebiografie. Anhand von Klassikern wie Robinson Crusoe und Kultbüchern wie American Psycho zeichnet er nach, wie der Kapitalismus sich uns einverleibt hat. Doch zugleich kann in Büchern, das zeigt Rendueles etwa an Kleists Michael Kohlhaas und an Science-Fiction-Romanen, auch der Geist der Revolte und solidarischer Utopien stecken.

        Femicide

        Violence against women

        by Julia Cruschwitz, Carolin Haentjes

        In Germany, 132 women were murdered by their (ex-)partners over the past year, according to police statistics. An attempted murder happened every other day – the real figure is in all probability much higher. Julia Cruschwitz and Carolin Haentjes unveil their book on femicides in Germany with research from interviews with academics, criminologists, police officers, social workers, lawyers, survivors, witnesses and relatives and their analysis of scientific reports. Their work highlights how the issue of femicides affects the whole of society, but there are sensible ways to protect women more effectively from male violence. All we must do is take steps to follow these.

        The Surname Detective

        Investigating surname distribution in England since 1086

        by Colin Rogers

        From the author of The Family Tree Detective, this guide provides the amateur genealogist or family historian with the skills to research the distribution and history of a surname. Colin Rogers uses a sample of 100 names, many of them common, to follow the migration of people through the centuries. Each of the 100 names is mapped since the Doomsday book in 1086. For those whose name is not among the sample, the book shows how to find out where namesakes live now, how they moved around the country through time, and how the name originated from a placename, a nickname or an occupation. Colin Rogers finishes this work by showing how the distribution of surnames can be studied irrespective of the size of the surrounding population, and reaches some interesting conclusions about which names are more reliable guides to migration since the 14th century. ;

        Das Selbst im Lebenszyklus

        by János Paál, Hans-Peter Hartmann, Wolfgang Milch, Peter Kutter

        Für sämtliche Übergänge im Laufe des Lebens gelten die gleichen grundsätzlichen Prinzipien: das Selbst zu behaupten, aufrechtzuerhalten und ihm Ausdruck zu verleihen. Zu beobachten ist auch das Prinzip, daß einem Fortschritt zu einer höheren Integrationsstufe und höheren Werten eine Krise vorausgeht, eine vorübergehende Entidealisierung und Regression der bislang vorherrschenden Werte und Ideale und der mit ihnen verbundenen Selbstobjekt-Erfahrungen. Darüber hinaus ermöglicht die Tendenz, konkrete Selbstobjekte, also Personen, zunehmend durch abstrakte und symbolische Selbstobjekte zu ersetzen, verläßlichere und weniger enttäuschungsanfällige idealisierende Selbstobjekt-Erfahrungen.

        Demokratiedämmerung

        Zur Kritik der Demokratietheorie

        by Veith Selk

        »In der Theorie vielleicht eine gute Idee, versagt nur leider in der Praxis!« Was früher vom Kommunismus gesagt wurde, gilt heute für die Demokratie – sie wirkt zunehmend unglaubwürdig. Veith Selk zeigt in seinem scharf analysierenden Buch, warum sowohl die demokratische Politik als auch die sie begleitenden Demokratietheorien an der Wirklichkeit scheitern. Zwei Thesen werden dabei verfolgt: Der Niedergang der Demokratie ist keiner Regression geschuldet, sondern das Ergebnis der gesellschaftlichen Fortentwicklung. Das damit eingeläutete Ende der Demokratie führt auch zum Verfall der Demokratietheorie, die als akademische Disziplin anachronistisch wird.
