August 2022Echt jetzt?! 99 bescheuerte Lügen über Jungs, die du nicht glauben solltest
by Felix Treder, Felix Treder, GbR Designdoppel, Uticha Marmon
Als Junge hat man am Anfang der Pubertät viele Fragen – hier kommt endlich ein moderner Ratgeber, der mit "Echte Kerle"-Rollenbilderquatsch aufräumt. Während weibliche Genderklischees langsam verschwinden, werden Jungs meist immer noch mit Survival-Tricks und Steinzeit-Ratschlägen abgespeist. Echt jetzt, 2021?? Doch Felix Treder knöpft sich die klassischen Lügen über Jungs vor, nimmt sie auseinander und verabschiedet sich mit einem Augenzwinkern von veralteten Rollenbildern und heteronormativen Denkmustern. Echt woke und gar nicht cringe, dieser Typ!

March 2026Was das Valley herrschen nennt
by Adrian Daub
Die von Elon Musk ins Leben gerufene Abteilung für Regierungseffizienz, DOGE, ist nur die Spitze des Eisbergs. In den letzten Jahren hat das Silicon Valley die Macht in den USA übernommen. Meta, Palantir & Co. bestimmen jetzt, wer reguliert, ja, wer regiert. Günstlinge der Tech-Milliardäre durchsetzen den Verwaltungsapparat. Energiepolitik wird fast nur noch für die Kryptobranche und KI-Startups gemacht. Und die anti-woke Agenda der Titanen münzt Trump eins zu eins in Dekrete um. In Investorenmeetings und in Hörsälen, in Science-Fiction-Büchern, Fortpflanzungskliniken und in Sadomaso-Kellern spürt Adrian Daub dem nach, was für diese Konzerne, was für ihre Lenker, Dominanz bedeutet. Sie haben die Herrschaft an sich gerissen. Aber verstehen sie überhaupt, was herrschen ist?

Literature & Literary StudiesJune 2025Critical games
On play and seriousness in academia, literature and life
by Tim Beasley-Murray
Critical Games is about the games we play (whether we know it or not), the ways we play them (for fun, but also to win, and to gain approval from others), and what happens when they get out of hand. The book interrogates the theory of play and gaming, with a particular focus on the games played by literary authors and literary critics. Drawing on (often self-critical) autobiography, as well as readings in texts across a range of languages, Tim Beasley-Murray plays with academic conventions to highlight what is at stake in them, turning to the Game of Literature, from Kafka to Carrère, to seek models and warnings of the outcomes of taking games too seriously, or not taking them seriously enough.
