half of the twentieth century. This period was a crucial time of nation-building for both countries. Antonio Bibbò illustrates the various images of Ireland that circulated in Italy, focusing on political and cultural discourses and examines the laborious formation of an Irish literary canon in Italy. The center of this analysis relies on books and articles on Irish politics, culture, and literature produced in Italy, including pamplets, anthologies, literary histories, and propaganda; translations of texts by Irish writers; and archival material produced by writers, publishers, and cultural and political institutions. Bibbò argues that the construction of different and often conflicting ideas of Ireland in Italy as well as the wavering understanding of the distinctiveness of Irish culture, substantially affected the Italian responses to Irish writers and their presence within the Italian publishing field. This book contributes to the discussion on transnational aspects of canon formation, reception studies, and Italian cultural studies.Die ersten 100 Tage als Führungskraft erfolgreich bewältigen: Was neue Führungskräfte beachten sollten (essentials)

By Brenda Ayres, Sarah E. Maier. 2021
A Vindication of the Redhead investigates red hair in literature, art, television, and film throughout Eastern and Western cultures. This…
study examines red hair as a signifier, perpetuated through stereotypes, myths, legends, and literary and visual representations. Brenda Ayres and Sarah E.

viral spread of disinformation poses in the age of social media and twenty-four-hour news. From climate change denialism to the frenzied conspiracy theories and racist mythologies that fuel antidemocratic white nationalist movements in the United States and abroad, What Would Cervantes Do? is a lucid meditation on the key role the humanities must play in dissecting and combatting all forms of disinformation.David Castillo and William Egginton travel back to the early modern period, the first age of inflationary media, in search of historically tested strategies to overcome disinformation and shed light on our post-truth market. Through a series of critical conversations between cultural icons of the twenty-first century and those of the Spanish Golden Age, What Would Cervantes Do? provides a tour-de-force commentary on current politics and popular culture. Offering a diverse range of Cervantist comparative readings of contemporary cultural texts – movies, television shows, and infotainment – alongside ideas and issues from literary and cultural texts of early modern Spain, Castillo and Egginton present a new way of unpacking the logic of contemporary media.What Would Cervantes Do? is an urgent and timely self-help manual for literary scholars and humanists of all stripes, and a powerful toolkit for reality literacy.John Galsworthy’s Compassion: All Beings Great and Small

tropes and metaphors used by writers of short fiction. Focusing on the literary city and literary representations of urban experience throughout the nineteenth century, the works discussed incorporate supernatural occurrences in a European city and the supernatural of these stories stems from and belongs to the city. The argument is structured around three primary themes. “Architectures”, “Encounters” and “Rhythms” make reference to three axes of city life: material space, human encounters, and movement. This thematic approach highlights cultural continuities and thus supports the use of the label of “urban fantastic” within and across the European traditions studied here.Viele Menschen nutzen täglich die Vorteile des digitalen Zeitalters: wenn sie mal eben ihr Zugticket mit dem Smartphone buchen, sich…
von ebendiesem zum vereinbarten Treffpunkt navigieren lassen und dann per Textnachricht erfahren, dass die werten Kolleg*innen ein paar Minuten zu spät kommen, der Tisch im Restaurant online schon reserviert wurde und das „Tisch-Ticket“ per QR-Code gleich mitsenden. Viele Menschen erfahren sich bei aller Erleichterung zunehmend reizüberflutet, überfordert und in der Folge gestresst.Der Begriff und Zustand „Stress“ (heutzutage im Sprachjargon als diffus definierter Normalzustand verankert und schon lange in der Mitte der Gesellschaft angekommen) ist allerdings tatsächlich ein Zustand, der vielfältigen Leidensdruck verursacht und krank macht.Die Autorin unterstützt allgemeinverständlich, anschaulich sowie naturwissenschaftlich und psychologisch fundiert bei der Auseinandersetzung mit Stress, Stressoren und Prozessen der Langzeitgedächtnisbildung. Letztere sind nicht unwesentlich an unserem chronischen Stresslevel beteiligt. Langzeitgedächtnisse, die, häufig schon in der Kindheit geformt, starke negative Glaubenssätze beinhalten. Diese negativen Glaubenssätze erfahren durch die Herausforderungen der digitalen Welt permanente Verstärkung und begünstigen dadurch chronischen Stress - mit seinen für viele Menschen spürbaren Folgen.Das Buch lädt ein, klärt auf und gibt fundierte, anschauliche und handlungsorientierte Ansätze zur Selbstreflexion und Entwicklung einer gesunden Handlungskompetenz gegenüber dem eigenen Stresslevel, folglich der eigenen Gesundheit und dem eigenen Glück.Human Perception of Visual Information: Psychological and Computational Perspectives
By Bogdan Ionescu, Wilma A. Bainbridge, Naila Murray. 2022
Recent years have witnessed important advancements in our understanding of the psychological underpinnings of subjective properties of visual information, such…
as aesthetics, memorability, or induced emotions. Concurrently, computational models of objective visual properties such as semantic labelling and geometric relationships have made significant breakthroughs using the latest achievements in machine learning and large-scale data collection. There has also been limited but important work exploiting these breakthroughs to improve computational modelling of subjective visual properties. The time is ripe to explore how advances in both of these fields of study can be mutually enriching and lead to further progress.This book combines perspectives from psychology and machine learning to showcase a new, unified understanding of how images and videos influence high-level visual perception - particularly interestingness, affective values and emotions, aesthetic values, memorability, novelty, complexity, visual composition and stylistic attributes, and creativity. These human-based metrics are interesting for a very broad range of current applications, ranging from content retrieval and search, storytelling, to targeted advertising, education and learning, and content filtering.Work already exists in the literature that studies the psychological aspects of these notions or investigates potential correlations between two or more of these human concepts. Attempts at building computational models capable of predicting such notions can also be found, using state-of-the-art machine learning techniques. Nevertheless their performance proves that there is still room for improvement, as the tasks are by nature highly challenging and multifaceted, requiring thought on both the psychological implications of the human concepts, as well as their translation to machines.Memorialising Shakespeare: Commemoration and Collective Identity, 1916–2016 (Palgrave Shakespeare Studies)
By Edmund G. C. King, Monika Smialkowska. 2021
This book is the first comprehensive account of global Shakespeare commemoration in the period between 1916 and 2016. Combining historical…
analysis with insights into current practice, Memorialising Shakespeare covers Shakespeare commemoration in China, Ukraine, Egypt, and France, as well as Great Britain and the United States. Chapter authors discuss a broad range of commemorative activities—from pageants, dance, dramatic performances, and sculpture, to conferences, exhibitions, and more private acts of engagement, such as reading and diary writing. Themes covered include Shakespeare’s role in the formation of cultural memory and national and global identities, as well as Shakespeare’s relationship to decolonisation and race. A significant feature of the book is the inclusion of chapters from organisers of recent Shakespeare commemoration events, reflecting on their own practice. Together, the chapters in Memorialising Shakespeare show what has been at stake when communities, identity groups, and institutions have come together to commemorate Shakespeare.Organisationstheorien von Weber bis Weick

By Heidi Möller, Jannik Zimmermann. 2022
Coaches encounter a range of situations in their professional practice that they experience as difficult. The challenges have different sources.…
They can come from the coaches themselves, the coachees or the commissioning organization. But how do these situations present themselves in detail? How can coaches understand them and respond appropriately? Using real case studies collected online, this book takes a closer look at difficult situations. In doing so, renowned coaches present for discussion their theoretical and methodological perspectives and their recommendations for action. This book is a translation of the original German 1st edition Schwierige Situationen im Business-Coaching by Heidi Möller and Jannik Zimmermann, published by Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden GmbH, part of Springer Nature in 2020. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation. Springer Nature works continuously to further the development of tools for the production of books and on the related technologies to support the authors.Literature is often assumed to be monolingual: publishing rights are sold on the basis of linguistic territories and translated books…
are assumed to move from one “original” language to another. Yet a wide range of contemporary literary works mix and meld two or more languages, incorporating translation into their composition. How are these multilingual works translated, and what are the cultural and political implications of doing so?In Literature in Motion, Ellen Jones offers a new framework for understanding literary multilingualism, emphasizing how authors and translators can use its defamiliarizing and disruptive potential to resist conventions of form and dominant narratives about language and gender. Examining the connection between translation and multilingualism in contemporary literature, she considers its significance for the theory, practice, and publishing of literature in translation. Jones argues that translation does not conflict with multilingual writing’s subversive potential. Instead, we can understand multilingualism and translation as closely intertwined creative strategies through which other forms of textual and conceptual hybridity, fluidity, and disruption are explored.Jones addresses both well-known and understudied writers from across the American hemisphere who explore the spaces between languages as well as genders, genres, and textual versions, reading their work alongside their translations. She focuses on U.S. Latinx authors Susana Chávez-Silverman, Junot Díaz, and Giannina Braschi, who write in different forms of “Spanglish,” as well as the Brazilian writer Wilson Bueno, who combines Portuguese and Spanish, or “Portunhol,” with the indigenous language Guarani, and whose writing is rendered into “Frenglish” by Canadian translator Erín Moure.Keeping It Unreal: Black Queer Fantasy and Superhero Comics (Sexual Cultures)

are part of a growing cohort of black superheroes on TV and in film. Though comic books are often derided as naïve and childish, these larger-than-life superheroes demonstrate how this genre can serve as the catalyst for engaging the Black radical imagination.Keeping It Unreal: Comics and Black Queer Fantasy is an exploration of how fantasies of Black power and triumph fashion theoretical, political, and aesthetic challenges to—and respite from—white supremacy and anti-Blackness. It examines representations of Blackness in fantasy-infused genres: superhero comic books, erotic comics, fantasy and science-fiction genre literature, as well as contemporary literary “realist” fiction centering fantastic conceits.Darieck Scott offers a rich meditation on the relationship between fantasy and reality, and between the imagination and being, as he weaves his personal recollections of his encounters with superhero comics with interpretive readings of figures like the Black Panther and Blade, as well as theorists such as Frantz Fanon, Eve Sedgwick, Leo Bersani, Saidiya Hartman, and Gore Vidal. Keeping It Unreal represents an in-depth theoretical consideration of the intersections of superhero comics, Blackness, and queerness, and draws on a variety of fields of inquiry.Reading new life into Afrofuturist traditions and fantasy genres, Darieck Scott seeks to rescue the role of fantasy and the fantastic to challenge, revoke, and expand our assumptions about what is normal, real, and markedly human.
