Verrechtlichungsprozesse von Literatur stellen als Kollisionsfall von Kunstfreiheit und allgemeinem Persönlichkeitsrecht nicht nur für die Jurisprudenz eine Herausforderung dar. Auch…
die Fiktionstheorie findet im besonderen Redestatus und den Fiktionslizenzen der Literatur ein reiches Feld. Die vorliegende Studie widmet sich systematisch anhand tatsächlich verhandelter Fälle und mit Blick auf neuere Fiktionsansätze der Frage, ob fiktionalen Texten Persönlichkeitsrechtsverletzungen angelastet werden können. Hierfür wird ausgehend von der Referenzstruktur fiktionaler Literatur untersucht, in welchen Fällen sich Elemente in der Darstellung literarischer Figuren auf reale Personen beziehen lassen und infolgedessen justiziabel werden können.By Federal Aviation Administration. 2009

Stanford University student and Cuban American tennis prodigy Ramon Fernandez is outraged when a nearby mega-store hikes its prices the…
night of an earthquake. He crosses paths with provost and economics professor Ruth Lieber when he plans a campus protest against the price-gouging retailer--which is also a major donor to the university. Ruth begins a dialogue with Ramon about prices, prosperity, and innovation and their role in our daily lives. Is Ruth trying to limit the damage from Ramon's protest? Or does she have something altogether different in mind? As Ramon is thrust into the national spotlight by events beyond the Stanford campus, he learns there's more to price hikes than meets the eye, and he is forced to reconsider everything he thought he knew. What is the source of America's high standard of living? What drives entrepreneurs and innovation? What upholds the hidden order that allows us to choose our careers and pursue our passions with so little conflict? How does economic order emerge without anyone being in charge? Ruth gives Ramon and the reader a new appreciation for how our economy works and the wondrous role that the price of everything plays in everyday life. The Price of Everything is a captivating story about economic growth and the unseen forces that create and sustain economic harmony all around us.By Alexandre Wickham. 2001

This book investigates how culture and economics define novel forms of cosmopolitanism and cosmopolitan fiction. Tracing cosmopolitanism’s transition from universalism…
to vernacularism, the book opens up new avenues for reading cosmopolitan fiction by offering a precise and convenient set of terminology. The figure of the cosmoflâneur identifies a contemporary cosmopolitan character’s urban mobility and wandering consciousness in interaction with the global and the local. Posthuman cosmopolitanism also extends the meaning of cosmopolitan which comes to embrace the nonhuman alongside the human element. Defining narrative glocality, political hyper-awareness, and narrative immediacy, the book thoroughly explores how cosmopolitan narration forges direct responses to the contemporary world in postmillennial cosmopolitan novels. All of these concepts are elaborated in Ian McEwan’s Saturday (2005), Zadie Smith’s NW (2012), Salman Rushdie’s The Golden House (2017), and Kazuo Ishiguro’s Klara and the Sun (2021), to which world-engagement is central.By Henri Troyat. 1976
