April 2004Diskursökonomie
Versuch über die innere Ökonomie der Medien
by Hartmut Winkler, Hartmut Winkler
"Zwischen ökonomie und Medienwissenschaften gibt es fraglos zahlreiche überschneidungen. Aber lassen sich ökonomische Modelle konkret für die Medienwissenschaften erschließen? Hartmut Winkler zeigt in seinem Buch, daß sich die Zirkulation der Waren als Modell für den Weg der Zeichen durch das Netz der Gesellschaft eignet. ökonomischer Tausch und Austausch/Kommunikation sind auf vielfältige Weise untereinander verbunden. Dabei geht es nicht primär um die geldökonomische Seite der Medien; Winkler nimmt vielmehr an, daß es eine Art von »innerer ökonomie« der Medien gibt, die bis in semiotische Mechanismen hineinreicht. Darüber hinaus soll aber auch eine Grenze gezogen werden: Wenn die ökonomie immer weitere Teile des Gesellschaftlichen bestimmt, scheint es dringlich, auch das Spezifische der Medien neu zu beschreiben."

March 2012Weltbeziehungen im Zeitalter der Beschleunigung
Umrisse einer neuen Gesellschaftskritik
by Hartmut Rosa
Mit der Beschleunigung des sozialen Lebens in der Moderne ändert sich auch die Art und Weise, in der der Mensch »in die Welt gestellt« ist. Hartmut Rosa analysiert aus unterschiedlichen Blickwinkeln die Veränderungen in der Welterfahrung, der Weltbeziehung und der Weltbearbeitung moderner Subjekte. Dabei entsteht umrißhaft das Programm einer kritischen Soziologie, in deren Zentrum die Bestimmung derjenigen sozialen Bedingungen und Voraussetzungen steht, die eine gelingende individuelle und kollektive Weltaneignung möglich machen.

March 2011Krank und pleite?
Das deutsche Gesundheitssystem
by Hartmut Reiners
Sind unsere Krankenkassen wirklich pleite? Können wir es uns bald nicht mehr leisten, krank zu werden? Daß unser Gesundheitssystem keine Wohltätigkeitsveranstaltung ist, sondern ein mächtiger Wirtschaftszweig, haben wir längst begriffen. Aber wer profitiert hier eigentlich? Und warum zahlen wir als Versicherte immer mehr drauf? Hartmut Reiners, einer der erfahrensten Gesundheitsökonomen, eilt dem verwirrten Patienten nun zu Hilfe und entlarvt in dieser kritischen Einführung Schritt für Schritt die Mythen unseres Gesundheitssystems. Am Ende werden Sie endlich verstehen, worüber sich die Spezialisten des Gesundheitswesens bei Anne Will, Maybrit Illner oder Frank Plasberg eigentlich streiten. Was in unserem Gesundheitssystem schiefläuft und wie es wirklich reformiert werden könnte, zeigt einer der führenden Gesundheitsökonomen Deutschlands.

October 2020Unverfügbarkeit
by Hartmut Rosa
Das zentrale Bestreben der Moderne gilt der Vergrößerung der eigenen Reichweite, des Zugriffs auf die Welt: Diese verfügbare Welt ist jedoch, so Hartmut Rosas brisante These, eine verstummte, mit ihr gibt es keinen Dialog mehr. Gegen diese fortschreitende Entfremdung zwischen Mensch und Welt setzt Rosa die »Resonanz«, als klingende, unberechenbare Beziehung mit einer nicht-verfügbaren Welt. Zur Resonanz kommt es, wenn wir uns auf Fremdes, Irritierendes einlassen, auf all das, was sich außerhalb unserer kontrollierenden Reichweite befindet. Das Ergebnis dieses Prozesses lässt sich nicht vorhersagen oder planen, daher eignet dem Ereignis der Resonanz immer auch ein Moment der Unverfügbarkeit.

Devouring Himself, Starting with His Feet
by Abdallah Al-Zioud
Despite its small size, it managed to take its place among the best modern literature books in recent years. From the title and cover, going through its amazing preface and eloquent language, and to the element of surprise and unexpected ending. Abdallah Al-Zioud was able to make the reading journey of this novel a meaningful journey despite its shortness; a journey introduces readers to new terms that manipulate their imaginations and puts them in the eye of the event through a visual language that conveys the reader from paper to the visual world of the novel. It teaches them some of writing tricks and simplifies what seems complicated at the beginning so that the reader believes in its ordinary before discovering that he has fallen victim to fraud.I can say that the most beautiful thing about this novel is that it was not written in a style and did not follow a context. it rebelled against the ordinary, uniquified in style, and combined simplicity and complexity in a way predicting an amazing ability and counted in its writer favor.
