May 2022Unter den Menschen
Roman
by Mathijs Deen, Andreas Ecke
Jan lebt allein auf einem Hof am Rande der Nordsee, das Leben geht seinen Gang, aber die Einsamkeit nagt an ihm. Ein bisschen Gesellschaft wäre schön, eine Frau, Gespräche, Sex, vielleicht sogar eine eigene Familie? Jan gibt eine Anzeige auf und erhält Antwort von Wil. Wil jedoch, so stellt sich heraus, verfolgt einen ganz eigenen Plan – sie sucht keine Liebe, sondern ein Haus mit Blick aufs Meer. Zwei Menschen, die unterschiedlicher nicht sein könnten, versuchen zusammenzufinden. Kann das gutgehen? Atmosphärisch, lakonisch und mit einem feinen Gespür für das Skurrile beschreibt Mathijs Deen den Weg zweier einsamer Menschen in eine ungewöhnliche Partnerschaft – charmant, unterhaltsam und tragikomisch.

October 2022Der Schiffskoch
Roman | Wie eine Ziege eine Schiffsbesatzung in den Wahnsinn treibt | Mit lakonischem Humor und literarischem Tiefgang
by Mathijs Deen, Andreas Ecke
Statt die Weltmeere zu bereisen und fremde Länder zu erkunden, fristet die Crew des Feuerschiffs Texel ein Leben an der Ankerkette. In der öden Alltagsroutine bilden die ausgefallenen Gerichte des verschrobenen Schiffskochs die einzigen Lichtblicke. Doch das Ziegenböckchen, das der Koch als Hauptzutat seines nächsten Menüs lebendig mit auf das Schiff bringt, setzt eine unerwartete Dynamik in Gang: Für Teile der Mannschaft wird es vom Proviant zum Kameraden, anderen gegenüber zeigt es seine diabolische Seite und löst inmitten dichter Nebelschwaden Chaos an Bord der Texel aus. Und als der Nebel sich endlich lichtet, offenbart sich ein mysteriöser Todesfall ... Mit lakonischem Humor und literarischem Tiefgang entführt uns Mathijs Deen auf sein fest verankertes Narrenschiff, auf eine Reise ohne Ziel, über ein Meer von skurrilen Begebenheiten.

Syria's Socially Mediated Civil War
by Marc Lynch, Deen Freelon, Sean Aday
Syria has been the most socially mediated conflict in history. Compared with previous conflicts, an exceptional amount of what the outside world knows—or thinks it knows—about the nearly three-year-old conflict has come from videos, analysis, and commentary circulated through social networks. These materials have informed international relief efforts, assessments of the identity and character of the rebel fighting groups, and debates about international intervention. But how credible was such information? How was it produced? Why did some gain attention and other, equally intriguing, information fade into obscurity? How did such information actually flow through the rapidly changing online social media? This report combines a broad survey of pathbreaking work on social media in conflict zones with unique new research findings based on analysis of discussions of Syria on Twitter.

New Media and Conflict after the Arab Spring
by Sean Aday, Henry Farrell, Marc Lynch, John Sides, John Kelly, Deen Freelon
An extraordinary wave of popular protest swept the Arab world in 2011. Massive popular mobilization brought down long-ruling leaders in Tunisia and Egypt, helped spark bloody struggles in Bahrain, Libya, Syria, and Yemen, and fundamentally reshaped the nature of politics in the region. Internet-based social media such as Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube played a visible role in many of these movements, especially for foreign audiences experiencing the turmoil vicariously through real-time Twitter feeds and YouTube videos posted to Facebook pages. There is a strong commonsense case that these new media mattered in the Arab uprisings. But did it matter and, if so, how? This report expands on a 2010 study titled Blogs and Bullets: New Media in Contentious Politics by applying that report’s five-level analytical framework to understanding the role of new media in the Arab Spring protests of 2011–12.
