Der Fürstenhof des Ancien régime war ein ganz eigenes soziales Gebilde: Am »Hofe« waren oft viele Tausende von Menschen zur Bedienung, Beratung und Gesellschaft des Königs versammelt, von dessen Willen ihr Schicksal ebenso abhing wie ihr Rang, ihr Unterhalt oder ihr Auf- und Abstieg. Eigentümliche Zwänge, eine mehr oder weniger feste Rangordnung und eine genaue Etikette verband sie untereinander.Welches war der Aufbau des sozialen Feldes, in dessen Zentrum sich die Figuration »höfische Gesellschaft« herausbilden konnte? Welche Verteilung der Machtchancen, welche gesellschaftlich gezüchteten Bedürfnisse, welche Abhängigkeitsverhältnisse bewirkten, daß sich Menschen über Generationen hinweg immer von neuem als höfische Gesellschaft zusammenfanden? Diese und weitere Fragen untersucht Elias in seiner klassischen Studie, auf deren Hintergrund sich ein erweitertes Verständnis der heutigen Gesellschaft eröffnet.

Einst gab es in Bayern rund 300 Klöster, die über eine eigene Brauerei verfügten. Dann kam in den Jahren 1802/03 die Säkularisation und mit ihr die Auflösung der allermeisten Klöster. Auch für die Brauereien bedeutete dies in der Regel das Aus. Heute gibt es nur noch ganz wenige Klosterbrauereien, die trotz aller regionalen Unterschiede zwei Dinge gemeinsam haben: eine faszinierende Geschichte und hervorragendes Bier. Eine Reise zu den bayerischen Klosterbrauereien ist deshalb ein ebenso inspirierendes wie genussvolles Erlebnis

In a book full of playful irony and striking insights, the controversial social philosopher Gilles Lipovetsky draws on the history of fashion to demonstrate that the modern cult of appearance and superficiality actually serves the common good. Focusing on clothing, bodily deportment, sex roles, sexual practices, and political rhetoric as forms of "fashion," Lipovetsky bounds across two thousand years of history, showing how the evolution of fashion from an upper-class privilege into a vehicle of popular expression closely follows the rise of democratic values. Whereas Tocqueville feared that mass culture would create passive citizens incapable of political reasoning, Lipovetsky argues that today's mass-produced fashion offers many choices, which in turn enable consumers to become complex individuals within a consolidated, democratically educated society. Superficiality fosters tolerance among different groups within a society, claims Lipovetsky.To analyze fashion's role in smoothing over social conflict, he abandons class analysis in favor of an inquiry into the symbolism of everyday life and the creation of ephemeral desire.Lipovetsky examines the malaise experienced by people who, because they can fulfill so many desires, lose their sense of identity. His conclusions raise disturbing questions about personal joy and anguish in modern democracy.
For most of human history, we have had a close relationship with the stars. Once they shaped our religious beliefs, power structures, scientific advances and even our biology. But over the last few centuries we have separated ourselves from the universe that surrounds us.And it comes at a cost. The Human Cosmos is a tour of this history: from the Hall of the Bulls in Lascaux to Tahitian sailors navigating by the stars; from medieval monks grappling with the nature of time to Einstein realising that space and time are the same. It shows we need to rediscover the universe we inhabit, its effect on our health, and its potential for inspiration and revelation.
2014 Reprint of Original 1918 Edition. Exact facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. According to Kidd, emotion rather than reason is held to be the source of power in life, not knowledge of intellect. The author's distrust of reason as a source of power, no doubt a casualty of World War I, and his doubts regarding the efficacy of knowledge are expressed throughout this work. The intellectual factor is held to be of slight, incidental value in the civilizing process. Kidd's interpretation of the failure of Western civilization is done convincingly and his constructive suggestions for the basis of a new social order are also interesting and thought provoking. The work contains elements of stimulus and challenge throughout.
Ausgezeichnet mit dem Preis der Leipziger Buchmesse 2019 Harald Jähners große Mentalitätsgeschichte der Nachkriegszeit zeigt die Deutschen in ihrer ganzen Vielfalt: etwa den "Umerzieher" Alfred Döblin, der das Vertrauen seiner Landsleute zu gewinnen suchte, oder Beate Uhse, die mit ihrem "Versandgeschäft für Ehehygiene" alle Vorstellungen von Sittlichkeit infrage stellte; aber auch die namenlosen Schwarzmarkthändler, in den Taschen die mythisch aufgeladenen Lucky Strikes, oder die stilsicheren Hausfrauen am nicht weniger symbolhaften Nierentisch der anbrechenden Fünfziger. Das gesellschaftliche Panorama eines Jahrzehnts, das entscheidend war für die Deutschen und in vielem ganz anders, als wir oft glauben.
Götz Aly zählt zu den bekanntesten Autoren zur Geschichte des Nationalsozialismus und des Holocaust - hier stellt er die zentrale Frage: Wie konnte das geschehen?In einer schweren Krise wurde die NSDAP 1932 zur mit Abstand stärksten Partei gewählt. Bald konnte sie die Macht übernehmen und auf wachsende gesellschaftliche Zustimmung bauen. Hitler brauchte den Krieg - das Volk fürchtete sich davor. Dennoch terrorisierten schließlich18 Millionen deutsche Soldaten Europa. Wie kam es dazu? Warum beteiligten sich Hunderttausende an beispiellosen Massenmorden?Die Antwort ist vielschichtig. Die NSDAP versprach den Deutschen Aufstieg und Wohlstand, zugleich hielt man die Menschen in Bewegung, keine Atempause, keine Zeit zum Nachdenken, so ging es Richtung Krieg. Als der Glaube an einen Sieg nachließ, wurde aus der Volksgemeinschaft eine Verbrechensgemeinschaft. Jeder konnte wissen, welche Schuld die Deutschen auf sich luden, die Angst vor dem, was nach einer Niederlage geschehen würde, wurde bewusst geschürt.Götz Aly schildert in einer fesselnden Erzählung die Herrschaftsmethoden, mit denen die NS-Machthaber Millionen Deutsche in gefügige Vollstrecker oder in vom Krieg abgestumpfte Mitmacher verwandelten - und von denen nicht wenige beängstigend aktuell sind.
