Theater des Konsums: Vorstudien für eine Soziologie der Verbraucherbühnen (Konsumsoziologie und Massenkultur)
by Kai-Uwe HellmannDiese Aufsatzsammlung beschäftigt sich vornehmlich mit der Frage, unter welchen Bedingungen die Erfahrung gemacht wird, dass typische Verbraucherrollen, ob Käufer-, Kunden- oder Konsumentenrolle, in kommerziell organisierten Kauf- oder Konsumsituationen unangefochten ausgespielt werden können und den Interaktionsverlauf strukturell wie prozessual wesentlich bestimmen. Denn keineswegs überall, wo Kauf- oder Verbrauchsakte empirisch stattfinden, definieren diese die jeweilige Situation auch in Gänze, so dass nahezu sämtliche Aufmerksamkeit durch die damit verbundenen, kommerziell orientierten Erlebnisse und Handlungen physisch, psychisch und sozial okkupiert wird, bei weitgehender Neutralisierung aller sonstigen Rollenverpflichtungen. Immerhin müssen sich Verbraucherrollen angesichts einer funktional differenzierten Gesellschaft, in der das ständige Management einer Vielzahl von Publikumsrollen unausweichlich ist, die knapp bemessene Aufmerksamkeitsspanne mit zahlreichen weiteren Publikumsrollen teilen. Im Kern geht es bei diesem Konzept darum, kommerziell organisierte Settings zu identifizieren, die wie Gerichte, Kirchen, Klöster, Krankenhäuser, Schulen, Sportstadien usw., bei denen die jeweiligen Inklusionseffekte eine temporäre Transformation der Personen in Folge der Übernahme entsprechender Publikumsrollen auslösen können – nicht zu vergessen temporäre Transformationseffekte im Zuge der aktiven Partizipation an Zeugenvernehmungen, Gottesdiensten, Fastenritualen, Krankenbehandlungen, Unterrichtseinheiten, Sportwettbewerben usw. – funktional Äquivalentes bei der Ausübung von Verbraucherrollen bewerkstelligen. Als prototypisch für solche kommerziell organisierten Settings, hier verkürzt als ‚Verbraucherbühnen‘ bezeichnet, werden in der Konsum- und Serviceforschung übrigens die Freizeitparks der Walt Disney Company behandelt. Dabei erfordert die Erforschung solcher Verbraucherbühnen eine Kombination von Rollen-, Organisations- und Interaktionsanalysen, zudem eine kultur- und mediensoziologische Perspektive, wie sie für das Studium von Verbraucherleitbildern empfehlenswert erscheint. Denn wie schon die soziologische Rollentheorie festgestellt hatte, orientieren sich Rollenspiele immer an gewissen Images, Rationalitätsfiktionen, Stereotypen, d. h. Normen des Rollenverhaltens, die Richtung und Reichweite typischen Rollenverhaltens vorschreiben und anleiten.
Theatercontrolling: Trends, Herausforderungen und Perspektiven aus Theorie und Praxis
by Petra Schneidewind Tom Koch Bettina ReinhartDas Führen von Theatern und Orchestern ist heute möglicherweise so komplex wie nie zuvor. Die Auswirkungen von Corona-Krise, Inflation, Fachkräftemangel, Nachhaltigkeitsbestrebungen und viele weitere Faktoren stellen die Bühnenbetriebe vor enorme Herausforderungen. Das Controlling mit der zentralen Funktion der Zielsteuerung muss sich diesen Herausforderungen nicht nur reaktiv stellen, sondern neue, auch kreative und zukunftsweisende Lösungen finden. Es gilt, sich proaktiv auf die Herausforderungen der Zukunft einzustellen und strategisch zu positionieren. Anlässlich des zehnjährigen Bestehens des „Forum Theatercontrolling“ greifen Autor*innen aus Theorie und Praxis aktuelle Themen auf, anhand derer sie die Handlungsfelder und Potenziale für ein zukunftsorientiertes Theatercontrolling diskutieren. Dazu gehören neben an Bedeutung gewinnenden Aufgabenfeldern wie Nachhaltigkeits-, Risiko-, Personal- oder Marketingcontrolling auch methodische Fragen wie Agilität oder Digitalisierung im Controlling. Nicht zuletzt werden personelle Themen wie die strategische Rolle von Controller*innen, Generationenwechsel und Nachwuchskräfte oder lebenslanges Lernen behandelt.

Theatre and National Identity in Colonial India: Formation Of A Community Through Cultural Practice
by Sharmistha SahaThis book critically engages with the study of theatre and performance in colonial India, and relates it with colonial (and postcolonial) discussions on experience, freedom, institution-building, modernity, nation/subject not only as concepts but also as philosophical queries. It opens up with the discourse around ‘Indian theatre’ that was started by the orientalists in the late 18th century, and which continued till much later. The study specifically focuses on the two major urban centres of colonial India: Bombay and Calcutta of the 19th and early 20th centuries. It discusses different cultural practices in colonial India, including the initiation of ‘Indian theatre’ practices, which resulted in many forms of colonial-native ‘theatre’ by the 19th century; the challenges to this dominant discourse from the ‘swadeshi jatra’ (national jatra/theatre) in Bengal, which drew upon earlier folk and religious traditions and was used as a tool by the nationalist movement; and the Indian People’s Theatre Association (IPTA) that functioned from Bombay around the 1940s, which focused on the creation of one national subject – that of the ‘Indian’. The author contextualizes the relevance of the concept of ‘Indian theatre’ in today’s political atmosphere. She also critically analyses the post-Independence Drama Seminar organized by the Sangeet Natak Akademi in 1956 and its relevance to the subsequent organization of ‘Indian theatre’. Many theatre personalities who emerged as faces of smaller theatre committees were part of the seminar which envisioned a national cultural body. This book is an important contribution to the field and is of interest to researchers and students of cultural studies, especially Theatre and Performance Studies, and South Asian Studies.

Theatre and Residual Culture: J.M. Synge and Pre-Christian Ireland
by Christopher CollinsThis book considers the cultural residue from pre-Christian Ireland in Synge’s plays and performances. By dramatising a residual culture in front of a predominantly modern and political Irish Catholic middle class audience, the book argues that Synge attempted to offer an alternative understanding of what it meant to be “modern” at the beginning of the twentieth century. The book draws extensively on Synge’s archive to demonstrate how pre-Christian residual culture informed not just how he wrote and staged pre-Christian beliefs, but also how he thought about an older, almost forgotten culture that Catholic Ireland desperately wanted to forget. Each of Synge’s plays is considered in an individual chapter, and they identify how Synge’s dramaturgy was informed by pre-Christian beliefs of animism, pantheism, folklore, superstition and magical ritual.

Theatre Responds to Social Trauma: Chasing the Demons (Routledge Series in Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion in Theatre and Performance)
by Ellen W. KaplanThis book is a collection of chapters by playwrights, directors, devisers, scholars, and educators whose praxis involves representing, theorizing, and performing social trauma.Chapters explore how psychic catastrophes and ruptures are often embedded in social systems of oppression and forged in zones of conflict within and across national borders. Through multiple lenses and diverse approaches, the authors examine the connections between collective trauma, social identity, and personal struggle. We look at the generational transmission of trauma, socially induced pathologies, and societal re-inscriptions of trauma, from mass incarceration to war-induced psychoses, from gendered violence through racist practices. Collective trauma may shape, protect, and preserve group identity, promoting a sense of cohesion and meaning, even as it shakes individuals through pain. Engaging with communities under significant stress through artistic practice offers a path towards reconstructing the meaning(s) of social trauma, making sense of the past, understanding the present, and re-visioning the future.The chapters combine theoretical and practical work, exploring the conceptual foundations and the artists’ processes as they interrogate the intersections of personal grief and communal mourning, through drama, poetry, and embodied performance.
The Theatrical Spectaculum: An Anthropological Theory (Palgrave Studies in Literary Anthropology)
by Tova GamlielThis book offers a new mythic perspective on the secret of the allure and survival of a current-archaic institution—the Western theatre—in an era of diverse technological media. Central to the theory is the spectaculum—a stage “world” that mirrors a monotheistic cosmic order. Tova Gamliel here not only alerts the reader to the possibility of the spectaculum’s existence, but also illuminates its various structural dimensions: the cosmological, ritual, and sociological. Its cosmo-logical meaning is a Judeo-Christian monotheistic consciousness of non-randomness, an exemplary order of the world that the senses perceive. The ritual meaning denotes the centrality of the spectaculum, as the theatre repeatedly reenacts the mythical and paradigmatic event of Biblical revelation. Its social meaning concerns any charismatic social theory that is anchored in the epitomic structure of social sovereignty—stage and audience—that the Western theatre advances in an era characterized by hypermedia.
THEE PSYCHICK BIBLE
by Genesis Breyer P-Orridge Jason Louv Carl AbrahamssonThee Temple ov Psychick Youth (TOPY) will be remembered for its crucial influence on youth culture throughout the 1980s, popularizing tattooing, body piercing, "acid house" raves, and other ahead-of-the-curve cultic flirtations and investigations. Its leader was Genesis P-Orridge, co-founder of Psychick TV and Throbbing Gristle, the band that created the industrial music genre.The limited signed cloth edition of Thee Psychick Bible quickly sold out, creating demand for any edition of this 544-page book, which will be available in a handsome smyth-sewn paperback edition with flaps and ribbon. According to author Genesis Breyer P-Orridge, "this is the most profound new manual on practical magick, taking it from its Crowleyan empowerment of the Individual to a next level of realization to evolve our species."
The Theft of America’s Soul: Blowing the Lid Off the Lies That Are Destroying Our Country
by Phil RobertsonIt’s time to take back what the devil has stolen and put God back into our culture.Phil Robertson, patriarch of A&E’s Duck Dynasty and one of the most recognized voices of conservative Christianity in America, believes that little by little, generation by generation, America has allowed the lines of morality, decency, and virtue to be erased. Our values have disappeared as we began to believe lies—such as that God is dead, truth is relative, and unity is impossible—that have brought discord, division and protest. But Phil also believes that things can change.Writing with captivating storytelling and unflinching honesty, Phil shows how to make America a God-honoring nation once more: by dropping the ten central lies that rule our day and taking up the ten truths that will bring peace of mind, harmony, and prosperity back to our country. The Theft of America’s Soul is a prophetic wake-up call for all who desire to see our nation thrive. And it is also an invitation to experience the life-giving, peace-filling, wholly-transforming love of God.

Their Name Is Today: Reclaiming Childhood In A Hostile World
by Johann Christoph Arnold Mark ShriverThere's hope for childhood. Despite a perfect storm of hostile forces that are robbing children of a healthy childhood, courageous parents and teachers who know what's best for children are turning the tide. Johann Christoph Arnold, whose books on education, parenting, and relationships have helped more than a million readers through life's challenges, draws on the stories and voices of parents and educators on the ground, and a wealth of personal experience. He surveys the drastic changes in the lives of children, but also the groundswell of grassroots advocacy and action that he believes will lead to the triumph of common sense and time-tested wisdom. Arnold takes on technology, standardized testing, overstimulation, academic pressure, marketing to children, over-diagnosis and much more, calling on everyone who loves children to combat these threats to childhood and find creative ways to help children flourish. Every parent, teacher, and childcare provider has the power to make a difference, by giving children time to play, access to nature, and personal attention, and most of all, by defending their right to remain children.
Them: Why We Hate Each Other—and How to Heal
by Ben SasseThis New York Times bestseller “argues that Americans are richer, more informed and ‘connected’ than ever—and unhappier, more isolated and less fulfilled” (George Will, The Washington Post).Something is wrong. We all know it.American life expectancy is declining. Birth rates are dropping. Nearly half of us think the other political party isn’t just wrong; they’re evil. We’re the richest country in history, but we’ve never been more pessimistic. What’s causing the despair? In Them, former US senator Ben Sasse argues that, contrary to conventional wisdom, our crisis isn’t really about politics. It’s that we’re so lonely we can’t see straight—and it bubbles out as anger.Local communities are collapsing. Across the nation, little leagues and Rotary clubs are dwindling, and in all likelihood, we don’t know the neighbor two doors down. Work offers less security, few lifelong coworkers, shallow purpose. Stable families and enduring friendships—life’s fundamental pillars—are in statistical freefall. As a result, we rally against common enemies so we can feel part of a team. Foreign adversaries use technology to exploit these toxic divisions by sowing misinformation and mistrust, to confuse us, exhaust us, make us angry—and thereby make us weaker.Reversing our decline requires something radical: a rediscovery of real places and human-to-human relationships. Even as technology nudges us to become rootless, Sasse shows how only a recovery of rootedness can heal our lonely souls. America wants you to be happy, but more urgently, America needs you to love your neighbor and connect with your community. Fixing what’s wrong with the country depends on it.“Sasse is highly attuned to the cultural sources of our current discontents and dysfunctions. . . . an attempt to diagnose and repair what has led us to this moment of spittle-flecked rage. . . . a step toward healing a hurting nation.” —National Review“Perhaps at last we have a politician capable of writing a good book rather than having a dull one written for him.” —The Wall Street Journal“Unpretentious, thoughtful, and at times, quite funny . . . his arguments are worth reading—as are his warnings about what our country might become.” —NPR

Themenkarrieren in der Wissenschaft: Die Entstehung der Themen Stadtschrumpfung und Klimawandel in der Raumforschung (Organization & Public Management)
by Andreas GravertDiese Open-Access-Publikation ist ein Plädoyer, das Verständnis von Themenkarrieren als integralen Bestandteil der Wissenschaft zu vertiefen und für die Reflexion wissenschaftlicher und planerischer Praxis zu nutzen.Welchen Gegenständen die Wissenschaft besondere Aufmerksamkeit beimisst, unterliegt einem dynamischen Wandel. Einige Themen, die lange Zeit Desinteresse und Ablehnung hervorriefen, rücken schlagartig in den Fokus um anschließend wieder abnehmende Aufmerksamkeit zu verzeichnen. Weder die Ursache noch der Zeitraum der anfänglichen Ignoranz, des abrupten Durchbruchs oder der anschließenden Ermüdung kann jedoch aus „rein wissenschaftlichen“ bzw. vermeintlich „objektiven“ Selektionskriterien erklärt werden. Wie also entstehen Themen in der Wissenschaft?Anhand der Themenkarrieren Schrumpfende Städte und Klimawandel wird untersucht, wie Aufmerksamkeit für ein Thema entsteht, welche sozialen Mechanismen dem Themenverlauf zugrunde liegen und welche Auswirkungen Themenkarrieren auf die planungswissenschaftliche Disziplin haben. Hierbei werden quantitative Methoden der Bibliometrie und der Netzwerkanalyse mit qualitativen Methoden der empirischen Sozialforschung in einer institutionalistischen Perspektive vereint.

The Theming Of America: Dreams, Visions, And Commercial Spaces
by Mark GottdienerMark Gottdiener explores the nature of social change as it has developed since the 1960s as reflected in the "theming" of America, from Graceland to Dollywood, from Las Vegas to Disney World, from the Mall of America to your local mall. Nowhere can modern Americans escape the profusion of recognizable symbols and signs attached to virtually every aspect of their culture constantly reminding them that they are on familiar and comforting grounds. "Just come in, friend, and buy; make yourself at home," these symbols seem to say, thus tying media culture and the seduction of consumerism to the production of ingeniously designed symbolic spaces. This is the first book to explore the origins, nature, and future of themed spaces in our information-overloaded world. Gottdiener begins with a brief historical account of the shifting importance of themes in the construction of built space. He then evaluates the economic basis for the increasing reliance on symbols in the marketing of commercial enterprises and analyzes contemporary trends in themed restaurants, malls, airports, theme parks, museums, and war memorials. Final chapters are devoted to examining such critical issues as the disappearance of public space, the relation between themes and mass media industries, and the future of symbolic spaces.

Then and Now: Egypt's Story
by Hussein ShabkaA sociologist examines the history of Egypt from the pharaohs to the present, shedding light on its cultural deterioration and the dilemmas it faces today.The story of Egypt’s long history is one of gradual descent from a wealthy, organized, sophisticated society to its contemporary milieu of corruption and poverty. For more than four thousand years, it earned the moniker om el donya, mother of the world. But when Cleopatra died, the independent rule of the pharaohs died with her. This seismic event not only transferred power to Rome, but also shattered the foundations of Egyptian society.For the following two millennia, a succession of foreign occupations and despotic rulers undermined Egypt’s national identity. They exported her wealth, imported a new language and culture, and spawned social values that are inimical to the very notion of modernity. Understanding these developments provides one possible route to getting a handle on the social and cultural situation in Egypt today.
Theologia poetica im 21. Jahrhundert: Die kriminalliterarische Wirklichkeitssicht des Heinrich Steinfest (pop.religion: lebensstil – kultur – theologie)
by Friederike JaekelDas vorliegende Buch zielt auf eine theologische Sensibilisierung für explizit nicht religiös qualifizierte Literaturformen. Durch eine interdisziplinäre und kulturhermeneutische Konzeption wird ein Beitrag für die Praktische Theologie, den aktuellen literaturtheologischen Forschungsdiskurs sowie für die Gestaltung von Kirche und Predigt sichergestellt. Im Rahmen einer exemplarischen Auseinandersetzung mit dem kriminalliterarischen Werk des Schriftstellers Heinrich Steinfest wird der Frage nachgegangen, ob sich innerhalb eines literarischen Werks eine sogenannte unsichtbare Theologie ausmachen lässt, die sich als die Artikulation und Reflexion einer unsichtbaren Religion verstehen lässt und somit ein neues Licht auf die Frage nach der Umformung des christlichen Denkens in der Neuzeit wirft.
