All our production is self-managed and strongly independent. The books we make are carefully thought through. In every release, the aesthetic care put in the edition, its narrative, illustrations, and photographs, seek to create an attractive object, aimed to inspire the desire to be included in every library.

        Alternative Fakten

        Zur Praxis der kommunikativen Erkenntnisverweigerung

        by Nils C. Kumkar

        Begriffe wie »postfaktisch« und »alternative Fakten« haben Konjunktur. Sie verweisen darauf, dass in vielen Gesellschaften ein Kampf um die Wirklichkeit der Wirklichkeit entbrannt zu sein scheint. Der Soziologe Nils C. Kumkar betrachtet diese Phänomene jedoch aus einem anderen Blickwinkel: Ausgehend von Fallstudien zu den Auseinandersetzungen um Corona, den Klimawandel und die Größe des Publikums bei der Amtseinführung Donald Trumps, plädiert er dafür, »alternative Fakten« nicht primär als Versatzstücke einer Parallelwelt zu verstehen, sondern als diskursive Nebelkerzen im Kontext polarisierter Debatten. Sie wirken, so Kumkar, nicht als Beitrag zur Konstruktion einer alternativen Realität, sondern als kommunikative Realitätsdestruktion, die es erlaubt, wider besseres Wissen weiterzumachen wie bisher.

        Right-Wing Judges in Germany

        AfD judges, prosecutors and jurors: a danger to democracy?

        by Joachim Wagner

        — How politics are increasingly influencing the rule of law in Germany — Systematic failures of democracy to protect itself — Based on numerous interviews with different members of Germany's legal system Ever since the right-wing party “Alternative for Germany” (AfD) secured representation in the Bundestag and in all state parliaments, Germany’s judiciary is facing a new challenge for which it is unprepared: AfD-affiliated judges and public prosecutors are attracting attention through right-wing biased decisions and investigations. Other members of the legal system cause further damage by ignoring the right-wing extremist and anti-Semitic background of crimes and thus punishing offenders too leniently or not at all. Both the judiciary and policy-makers have so far underestimated the new danger from the right. As a result protection against the appointment of right-wing legal professionals has been insufficient. Joachim Wagner systematically analyses numerous examples from German courts in recent years. He calls on the democratic judiciary to remember the principles of a well-fortified democracy.

        Alternative Systems for Poultry

        Health, Welfare and Productivity

        by Edited by Victoria Sandilands, Paul M. Hocking.

        Recent interest in how poultry are housed and managed in order to ensure profitability, sustainability, and good levels of animal welfare, are challenging issues that commercial poultry keepers face, particularly where legislation is bringing about legal requirements for housing. This book compares and contrasts alternative housing with conventional and traditional systems for commercial poultry (laying hens, meat chickens, turkeys, waterfowl and gamebirds) with regards to welfare, disease, health, nutrition, sustainability and genotype-environment interaction.

        Briefe

        1929–1951

        by Hermann Broch, Robert Pick, Daniel Brody

        Die in diesem Bande veröffentlichte Auswahl aus Hermann Brochs Briefen stellt einen unerläßlichen Kommentar zu seinen Schriften dar. Die Briefe gewähren Einblick in den Entstehungsprozeß seiner Werke, und der Leser wird durch eingehende theoretische Darlegungen vom Dichter selbst in ihren Problemkreis und ihre künstlerischen Tendenzen eingeführt. Berechtigung und Aufgabe des Dichterberufes in der gegenwärtigen Zeit ist der Fragenkomplex, der Broch dauernd beschäftigt hat. Das Bedürfnis, sich als Dichter zu verantworten und seinen erstrebten‚ Standort zu umzeichnen, veranlaßte ihn zu zahlreichen literar- wie zeitkritischen Erörterungen in seinen Briefen. Sie sind zugleich ein Spiegel des Zeitgeschehens und der zeitgenössischen Literatur, wodurch ihnen weit über den Kreis des persönlichen Lebenslaufs und dichterischen Werkbereichs im engeren Sinn hinaus eine große Bedeutung zukommt. Zudem sind sie als Ergänzung zu den nur fragmentarisch vorhandenen erkenntnistheoretischen Schriften besonders wertvoll. Über das werkgeschichtliche und literarkritische Interesse hinaus haben die Briefe aber auch hohen Wert als Dokumente menschlicher Größe. Sie sind – und darin besteht ein wesentlicher Teil ihrer besonderen Anziehungskraft – echte, nicht zur Veröffentlichung bestimmte Zwiegespräche des Dichters mit Freunden und Zeitgenossen, denen er sich im Sterben verwandt fühlte. Mehr als über die biographischen Stationen seines Lebens – Industrieller, Dichter, Emigrant, Philosoph und Sozialwissenschaftler –, die Broch selber für nebensächlich hielt, geben die Briefe Zeugnis von einer überragenden geistigen Persönlichkeit.

        Anthropological approaches to rural Western Europe today

        by Jeremy Macclancy

        A fresh anthropological look at a central but neglected topic: the profound changes in rural life throughout Western Europe today. As locals leave for jobs in cities they are replaced by neo-hippies, lifestyle-seekers, eco-activists, and labour migrants from beyond the EU. With detailed ethnographic examples, contributors analyse new modes of living rurally and emerging forms of social organisation. As incomers' dreams come up against residents' realities, they detail the clashes and the cooperations between old and new residents. They make us rethink the rural/urban divide, investigate regionalists' politicisation of rural life and heritage, and reveal how locals use EU monies to prop up or challenge existing hierarchies. They expose the consequences of and reactions to grand EU-restructuring policies, which at times threaten to turn the countryside into a manicured playground for escapee urbanites. This book will appeal to anyone seriously interested in the realities of rural life today.
