This open access book examines the conversations around gendered mental health in contemporary Western media culture. While early 21st century-media was marked by a distinct focus on happiness, productivity and success, during the 2010s negative feelings and discussions around mental health have become increasingly common in that same media landscape. This book traces this turn to sadness in women¿s media culture and shows that it emerged indirectly as a result of a culture overtly focused on happiness. By tracing the coverage of mental health issues in magazines, among female celebrities, and on social media this book shows how an increasingly intimate media environment has made way for a profitable vulnerability, that takes the shape of marketable and brand-friendly mental illness awareness that strengthens the authenticity of those who embrace it. But at the same time sad girl cultures are proliferating on social media platforms, creating radically honest spaces where those who suffer get support, and more capacious ways of feeling bad are formed. Using discourse analysis and digital ethnography to study contemporary representations of mental illness and sadness in Western popular media and social media, this book takes a feminist media studies approach to popular discourse, understanding the conversations happening around mental health in these sites to function as scripts for how to think about and experience mental illness and sadness

In response to the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the US Federal Reserve and central banks worldwide have deployed tools that past policymakers and economists might have considered radical. Programmes like large-scale securities purchases and a new policy framework remain a source of confusion for investors, journalists and ordinary citizens alike.Twenty-First Century Monetary Policy demystifies these opaque techniques to reveal how economic ideas, historical events and political forces have transformed the Fed's policies over several decades. From the stagflation of the 1970s to the Great Recession and the recent pandemic, Ben S. Bernanke masterfully examines how the Fed's policies-and the institution itself-may change as it grapples with persistently low interest rates, systemic financial risk, rapid technological change and polarised politics. With unparalleled depth of expertise and robust historical sweep, Twenty-First Century Monetary Policy is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding modern finance, investments or US economic policy.

Der Umgang mit Farbe ist ein komplexes Thema: Von Normen, Moden und Trends beeinflusst, leiten wir unsere Vorstellungen und Konzepte von Farbtheorien, der Intuition und von persönlichen Vorlieben ab. Heute übliche Farbfächer und Farbbeschreibungssysteme basieren auf rein quantitativen Grundlagen und umfassen weit mehr als 1500 Töne. Wie entscheiden wir uns für eine bestimmte Farbe? Nach der erfolgreichen Erstauflage legt Katrin Trautwein eine überarbeitete Auswahl von 225 Farben vor: einige Farben, die eine bemerkenswerte Schönheit im Schein des LED-Lichts entwickeln, durften andere ersetzen. Jede Farbe wird mit einem handgestrichenen Original-Farbmuster vorgestellt; neben Informationen zu ihrer Zusammensetzung und Herkunft werden ihre Potenziale sowie ihre Bedeutung in der Anwendung beschrieben.

Zusammen mit Pierre Baillot und Rodolphe Kreutzer begründete Pierre Rode Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts die bedeutende Französisch-Belgische Violinschule. Der europaweit gefeierte Geiger liefert mit seinen "24 Caprices en Forme d'Études" durch alle Tonarten ein beeindruckendes Zeugnis seiner Spielweise. Bei aller Konzentration auf das Einstudieren technischer Phänomene schuf er damit wertvolle Kompositionen, die an Paganinis Stücke gleichen Namens erinnern. Bis heute sind die "Caprices" ein Meilenstein in der Ausbildung eines jeden Violinisten (Hochschulniveau). Die Urtextausgabe des G. Henle Verlags klärt erstmals im Detail die Quellenlage (Erstausgabe und revidierte Ausgabe) und bietet den Notentext in der "Fassung letzter Hand" mit allen historischen Bezeichnungen. Der Geiger Friedemann Eichhorn hat als Rode-Spezialist ersten Ranges die Ausgabe prüfend begleitet und steuert für den modernen Violinunterricht geeignete Fingersätze und Strichbezeichnungen bei.

A richly drawn account of a single day in the Viking world, chronicling an hour in the life of 24 individuals from every corner of Viking society. From the bestselling 24 Hours series.Between the infamous Lindisfarne raid in 793 CE and the Norman conquest of 1066, the peoples we know now as the Vikings became one of the most far-ranging and influential civilizations in history. The Vikings are frequently portrayed as raiders, marauding across medieval Europe and Britain, but the culture and society of the medieval Nordic peoples was so much more diverse, multifaceted and influential than it is often depicted.In 24 Hours in the Viking World, author and Viking expert Kirsten Wolf chronicles an hour in the life of 24 individuals from every corner of Viking society over the course of a single day. From the warrior to the thrall, the shipbuilder to the farmer, the poet to the oracle, each chapter offers a snapshot of the world as it was in medieval Scandinavia, and an insight into how these people lived, loved, worked, fought and died.The latest entry in the bestselling 24 Hours series, 24 Hours in the Viking World presents an absorbing, grounded and tangible look at what it was really like to be alive during this pivotal era in history.Also available:24 Hours in Ancient Rome (9781789291278)24 Hours in Ancient Egypt (9781789293517)24 Hours in Ancient Athens (9781789293500)24 Hours in Ancient China (9781789296488)

Throughout its century of existence, every moment of Le Mans has been captured in countless photographs. From black & white to color, these particularly vivid images bring to life a whole world: that of the cars, naturally, but also of the many human players – drivers, engineers, mechanics – and the public, always numerous and varied. The authors summarize the moments and actions of the key characters, identifying five major periods: 1923-1929: The time of the pioneers 1930-1967: Reconstruction and globalization 1968-1981: In search of the right solution 1982-1999: The 21st century in sight 2000-2022: A Modern Race Text in English and French.

Ausgehend von dem schnell weltberühmt gewordenen Prélude cis-moll op. 3 Nr. 2, das bereits 1892 entstand, verfasste Rachmaninow bis 1910 zwei weitere Sammlungen von Préludes, die 1911 auch als Gesamtband publiziert wurden. Angelehnt an die entsprechenden Vorbilder von Chopin, Skrjabin oder dem großen Ahnherrn J.S. Bach, ergeben sie zusammen einen Zyklus von 24 Préludes in allen Dur- und Molltonarten, sind im Unterschied zu den vorigen aber nicht systematisch nach Tonarten angeordnet. Ein letzter Höhepunkt der spätromantischen Klaviermusik, an dem kein Pianist vorbeikommt! Mehr zu dieser Ausgabe im Henle-Blog.

Dont, Kreutzer, Rode: gleich drei der herausragenden Violinpädagogen des 19. Jahrhunderts sind hier in einem Titel vereint. Rodolphe Kreutzer und Pierre Rode verfassten Anfang des 19. Jahrhunderts jeweils epochemachende Etüdensammlungen (siehe HN 1177 und HN 1186); als Heranführung an diese beiden Standardwerke schrieb Jakob Dont 1852 seine überaus hilfreichen 24 Vorübungen op. 37, an denen bis heute kein Geiger im Unterricht vorbeikommt. Ihr Erfolg zeigt sich auch darin, dass im 20. Jahrhundert zahlreiche Neubearbeitungen von Geigern wie Hans Sitt, Carl Flesch oder Ivan Galamian erschienen. Die Urtextausgabe des G. Henle Verlags macht nun erstmals wieder das unverfälschte Original mit Donts authentischen Fingersätzen und Strichbezeichnungen zugänglich, in hervorragend lesbarem Notenbild. Der gesuchte Pädagoge Paul Roczak hat diese Ausgabe prüfend begleitet und die Fingersätze Donts behutsam ergänzt.

Herzschlagfinale beim 49. ADAC TOTAL 24h-Rennen auf der Nordschleife: Der siegreiche Manthey-Porsche hatte am Ende gerade einmal 8,817 Sekunden Vorsprung vor dem zweitplatzierten ROWE-BMW. Die Plätze drei bis sieben waren lediglich durch 5,6 Sekunden getrennt. Eine lange Unterbrechung wegen Nebels führte dazu, dass nach dem Restart nur noch dreieinhalb Stunden Fahrzeit auf der Uhr standen. Die Folge: Das 24-Stunden-Rennen wurde durch ein Sprintrennen entschieden. Tatsächlich stellte das Rennen mit einer Fahrzeit von knapp zehn Stunden einen neuen Minusrekord auf. Schuld daran waren einmal mehr die Wetterverhältnisse auf dem Nürburgring, die ein längeres Fahren nicht möglich machten. Am Ende ging es in vielen der 24 verschiedenen Klassen eng zu: Ob Porsche Cayman-Cup, Produktionswagen bis 2.000 ccm mit Turbo, Specials bis 2.600 ccm mit Turbo und bis 4.000 ccm mit Turbo, GT4 oder TCR: Hier fielen die Entscheidungen um den Sieg sehr knapp aus. Das Rahmenprogramm war erneut hochkarätig: Zum 30. Mal starteten die Young- und Oldtimer im 3h-Classic-Rennen, der Tourenwagen-Weltcup war zum siebten Mal dabei und die Rundstrecken-Challenge Nürburgring, Deutschlands älteste und größte Breitensportserie, eröffnete wie gewohnt das Renngeschehen am Donnerstagmorgen. Abgerundet wurde das Geschehen von einer Premiere: dem ersten Auftritt der Tourenwagen-Legenden aus der ehemaligen DTM. Das 24h-Jahrbuch beleuchtet auch in diesem Jahr ausführlich das Geschehen in allen 24h-Klassen sowie die Rennen des Rahmenprogramms und die Trainingssitzungen. Hunderte Fotos runden - ergänzt durch viele Tabellen und Statistiken - das Buch ab.

Was für ein Rennen! Die ADAC TotalEnergies 24h Nürburgring boten 2023 einmal mehr die ganze Bandbreite von Emotionen, die es eben nur bei diesem Langstreckenklassiker auf der längsten und schönsten Rennstrecke der Welt gibt. Nach der Doppel-Pole für Mercedes-AMG von Bilstein / GetSpeed wurde das Rennen zu einer Triumphfahrt für Frikadelli-Racing, deren gerade erst debütierter Ferrari 296 GT3 damit einen fulminanten Einstand feierte. Bis in die Schlussphase war der erste Sieg der Frikadelli-Mannschaft gefährdet, denn der am Ende zweitplatzierte ROWE-BMW sowie der aus der ersten Reihe gestartete GetSpeed-Mercedes-AMG hetzten die Mannschaft aus der Eifel bis zuletzt. Kein Wunder, dass die 235.000 Zuschauer am Wochenende deshalb die schnellsten 24h aller Zeiten erlebten: 162 Runden legten die Sieger zurück - das entspricht 4.035,102 Kilometern Vollgas! Natürlich sorgte aber nicht nur der spektakuläre Kampf um den Gesamtsieg für Hochspannung: Dass der zweitplatzierte BMW zuvor eine grandiose Aufholjagd bot oder dass nach dem Top-Qualifying in der Werkstatthalle von Frikadelli ein havarierter Konkurrent seinen Mercedes-AMG wieder flottmachte oder oder oder ... Es sind unzählige Geschichten, die wert sind, festgehalten zu werden. Dazu zählt selbstverständlich auch der Fight um Sekt und Selters in den 20 Klassen. Schließlich wird bei den 24h nicht nur an der Spitze des Feldes ultraspannender Motorsport geboten. 132 Fahrzeuge traten in diesem Jahr bei den 24h an, und jedes einzelne ist in diesem Buch zu finden. Und nicht nur das: Vom Adenauer Racing Day bis zum Siegersekt ist die ganze Veranstaltung dokumentiert, auch die 24h Classic, die Cup- und Tourenwagen-Trophy, die RCN sowie die Tourenwagen-Legenden dürfen nicht fehlen. Ein ausführlicher Statistik-Teil inklusive der Ergebnisse macht das Jahrbuch zum besten Schmöker und Nachschlagewerk für alle, deren Herz für die Grüne Hölle schlägt.

(Zweisprachige Ausgabe: Deutsch / Englisch) So präzise sich die Konkrete Kunst auch gibt, über die genaue Geburtsstunde ihrer Namensgebung lässt sich dagegen nur Ungefähres berichten. Mit seinem gleichnamigen Manifest führte Theo van Doesburg den Begriff 1930 zwar offiziell in die Kunsttheorie ein. Aber bereits 1924 soll ihn der niederländische Künstler, Architekt und Theoretiker erstmals formuliert und für eigene Werke verwendet haben. 100 Jahre später liefert dieses Jubiläum trotz aller Ungewissheit die passende Gelegenheit, die Generation heute junger, dieser Richtung stilistisch nahestehender Künstler/-innen eingehend nach ihrem Verhältnis zur Konkreten Kunst zu befragen. Welchen Einfluss haben die Anfänge der Kunstrichtung auf ihr eigenes bildnerisches Schaffen? Sind ihre Prinzipien auch heute noch aktuell? Und gilt Gleiches auch für ihren Namen? Ihre Statements bilden - neben einem kurzen historischen Überblick über die Anfänge der Konkreten Kunst - ein zentrales Element der Publikation. 100 Jahre Konkrete Kunst - Aktualität und Zukunft einer Kunstrichtung Künstler/-innen: Banz & Bowinkel, Carsten Beck, Anna-Maria Bogner, Nina Brauhauser, Martim Brion, Sebastian Dannenberg, Lena Ditlmann, Fabian Gatermann, Charlotte Giacobbi, Dave Grossmann, Vladiana Ghiulvessi, Toulu Hassani, Erika Hock, Marile Holzer, Silvia Inselvini, Patrizia Kränzlein, Schirin Kretschmann, Sali Muller, Catalin Pislaru, Fiene Scharp, Marco Stanke, Virginia Toma, Amalia Valdés, Jonas Weichsel Blick ins Buch

“A fascinating short book” on the perils of 21st-century capitalism and its near-complete takeover of our everyday lives (New York Times Magazine)24/7: Late Capitalism and the Ends of Sleep explores some of the ruinous consequences of the expanding non-stop processes of twenty-first-century capitalism. The marketplace now operates through every hour of the clock, pushing us into constant activity and eroding forms of community and political expression, damaging the fabric of everyday life.Jonathan Crary examines how this interminable non-time blurs any separation between an intensified, ubiquitous consumerism and emerging strategies of control and surveillance. He describes the ongoing management of individual attentiveness and the impairment of perception within the compulsory routines of contemporary technological culture. At the same time, he shows that human sleep, as a restorative withdrawal that is intrinsically incompatible with 24/7 capitalism, points to other more formidable and collective refusals of world-destroying patterns of growth and accumulation.

Buried deep below the everyday life of our society lives an underground world of nightmares-of violence and murder no one dares speak about. Contracts and laws weave the web of our culture together. Our Masters walk amongst us. They can be our friends, or the ones to make us disappear forever. Where I once had found peace within my existence, it all ended with the death of my cruel, yet caring owner. My world shattered and I was taken back to the one place I had hoped to never see again-the cells of Whitlock-a subterranean fortress for slaves who await their new placement. Now I have no rights. I have no say. My feelings and wellbeing are meaningless. Escape is impossible, but I have nothing left to lose. To stand any chance of survival, I must give my life as collateral to the highest bidder: Soul for Sale. slave 24690

This edited collection focuses on the first 25 years of experience with Internet and democracy. Involving scholars and perspectives from more than 20 countries across six continents it offers a comprehensive longitudinal and cross-national study on the impact of the Internet on democracy.The book starts with an overview of initial theoretical expectations about and democracy, focusing on digital opportunities. The Internet was in its early beginnings by many seen as a new information highway giving citizens access to an unprecedented amount of information and as a new agora for democratic debate, a weathercock for public opinion. 25 years later we have seen that such expectations were exaggerated. The Internet has not become the Shangri-La of democracy, enlightenment, and education. However, it has developed in other ways not expected and not explained in the original theories, changing information hierarchies, political ontologies, and daily political habits of citizens in unforeseen ways.
