December 2017Reclaim Autonomy
Selbstermächtigung in der digitalen Weltordnung
by Jakob Augstein
Vor nicht einmal zwanzig Jahren nährte die Digitalisierung noch die Hoffnung auf eine universelle Befreiung der Menschen. Geblieben ist davon nicht viel: Die Furcht vor Überwachung ist zu einem ständigen Begleiter geworden. Mit Facebook, Twitter und anderen sozialen Medien hielt eine neue Form von Hetze Einzug in die Öffentlichkeit. Und auf die permanente Verfügbarkeit von Informationen folgte der Kampf der etablierten Medien gegen den digitalen Dauerbeschuss mit Fake News. Höchste Zeit also für eine kritische Bestandsaufnahme. In diesem Band gehen einige der wichtigsten Denkerinnen und Denker der Gegenwart drängenden Fragen nach: Wie lässt sich der digitale Kapitalismus zähmen? Stellt das Internet eine Gefahr für die Demokratie dar? Und wie können wir in einer digitalisierten Welt Autonomie (zurück)erobern? Mit Beiträgen von Martin Schulz, Jakob Augstein, Gerhart Baum, Yvonne Hofstetter, Evgeny Morozov u. v. a.

May 2015Technologischer Totalitarismus
Eine Debatte
by Frank Schirrmacher
Die Digitalisierung aller Lebensbereiche verändert unsere Gesellschaften ähnlich radikal wie die industrielle Revolution vor 200 Jahren: Internet-Konzerne sichern sich die Kontrolle über ganze Branchen; Spähprogramme stellen das Recht auf informationelle Selbstbestimmung infrage. Und wenn Google-Chef Eric Schmidt schreibt, das Unternehmen wisse, wo wir sind, und könne mehr oder weniger sagen, was wir gerade denken, werden endgültig die düstersten Voraussagen der Science-Fiction Realität. Angesichts dieser historischen Herausforderung ergriff Martin Schulz, der Präsident des Europäischen Parlaments, im Februar 2014 mit einem kämpferischen Appell in der Frankfurter Allgemeinen Zeitung das Wort. An der von Schulz angestoßenen Diskussion beteiligten sich seither zahlreiche prominente Persönlichkeiten aus Wirtschaft, Wissenschaft und Politik. Der Band enthält die Beiträge dieser längst überfälligen Debatte. Mit Texten von Mathias Döpfner, Hans Magnus Enzensberger, Sigmar Gabriel, Sascha Lobo, Evgeny Morozov, Frank Schirrmacher, Eric Schmidt, Juli Zeh und vielen anderen.

Humanities & Social SciencesJanuary 2009Adapting to European integration?
Kaliningrad, Russia and the European Union
by Stefan Ganzle, Emil Kirchner, Guido Müntel, Thomas Christiansen, Evgeny Vinokurov
Following the restoration of Lithuania's independence and the dismantlement of the Soviet Union, the Kaliningrad region is now an exclave surrounded by EU member states. Departing from the analytical framework of Europeanisation, this book analyses the interaction between Russia and its Kaliningrad region on one side, and their European partners on the other side, thus assessing the region's potential to serve as Russia's main opening to the EU. How do EU relations 'feed back' into Kaliningrad's domestic arena, or, put differently, does Kaliningrad become 'Europeanised' - at least to some extent? In particular, do EU standards and norms impact on the exclave and in what ways? The book not only offers thorough case studies of a number of policy areas affected by the EU (environmental, economics and higher education), it also refines our way of thinking about Europeanisation 'beyond' Europe. ;

True stories of heroism, endurance & survivalMay 2020Stalin's Mountaineers
by Cédric Gras
The unpublished story of the Abalakov brothers, two mountaineers working for the glory of the Soviet regime. Vitali and Evgeni were Siberian orphans who enjoyed rock climbing before becoming expert mountaineers. They carried out many expeditions between Caucasus and Central Asia, culminating in the 1930s with their ascents of the impressive “Stalin Peak” and “Lenin Peak” in the name of power. In a culture where mountaineering was dictated by the ideology of a new world, by conquering new territories and war, Vitali Abalakov would still become a victim of the Great Terror and the purges in 1938. He was eventually released. Despite having lost several fingers to a high-altitude snowstorm, he returned to mountaineering and achieved elite status again, heading up Spartak. His brother Evgeni meanwhile was found dead in 1948 when he was preparing to climb Everest.

Travel writingVitali's Ireland
Time Travels in the Celtic Tiger
by Vitali Vitaliev
Vitali’s Ireland offers a unique perspective on 21st century Irish cultural identity, delivered in a style rich with his typical sardonic wit. Ukrainian-born Vitali Vitaliev, an award-winning travel writer and journalist, uses his outsider’s perspective to recount his Irish adventures. A renowned cultural observer, he muses on the nation’s quirks and stereotypes, whilst his reference to mid-19th century guide books provides an insightful historical comparison. The result is an affectionate if slightly perplexed portrait of a nation in transition.
