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.Aviation Instructor's Handbook: FAA-H-8083-9B (Asa Faa Handbook Ser.)

George Clayton Johnson was an up-and-coming short story writer who broke into Hollywood in a big way when he co-wrote…
the screenplay for Ocean’s Eleven. More legendary works followed, including Logan’s Run and classic scripts for shows like The Twilight Zone and Star Trek. In the meantime, he forged friendships with some of the era’s most visionary science fiction writers, including Ray Bradbury, Theodore Sturgeon, Richard Matheson, and Rod Serling. Later in life, Johnson befriended comics journalist and artist Henry Chamberlain, and the two had long chats about his amazing life and career. Now Chamberlain pays tribute to his late friend in the graphic novel George’s Run, which brings Johnson’s creative milieu to life in vividly illustrated color panels. The result feels less like reading a conventional biography and more like sitting in on an intimate conversation between friends as they recollect key moments in pop culture history, as well as the colorful band of writers known as the “Rat Pack of Science Fiction.”Lizensur: Was darf fiktionale Literatur?

By Dagmar Stöferle. 2022
There is a prehistory of the adultery novel, which became a pan-European literary paradigm in the second half of the…
19th century. In the wake of the French Revolution, secular marriage legislation emerges, producing a metaphorical surplus that is still effective today. Using legal history and canonical literary texts from Rousseau to Goethe and Manzoni to Hugo and Flaubert, this book traces how marriage around 1800 became a figure of reflection for the modern nation-state. In the process, original contributions to the philology of the individual texts emerge. At the same time, law and literature are made fruitful for a historical semantics of society and community.This book is a translation of an original German 1st edition “Ehe als Nationalfiktion” by Dagmar Stöferle, published by J.B. Metzler, imprint of Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature in 2020. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). The author (with the support of Chris Owain Carter) has subsequently revised the text further in an endeavour to refine the work stylistically.FAR/AIM 2018: Federal Aviation Regulations And Aeronautical Information Manual (includes Changes 1 And 2) (FAR/AIM Federal Aviation Regulations)
