Hamburg Climate Futures Outlook 2024
Many countries, communities, and social actors around the world are struggling to cope with the impacts of climate change. Adapting to climate change in a sustainable manner involves a huge collective effort and is barely happening. How can sustainable climate change adaptation become plausible? The Hamburg Climate Futures Outlook 2024 provides a unique systematic and global assessment of the context conditions for sustainable climate change adaptation, evaluating the social dynamics of deep decarbonization and the physical dynamics in regional climate variability and extremes. Through nine case studies across the globe, the assessment provides insights into key barriers and opportunities for sustainable climate change adaptation.
A Continent of Colleagues
In the wake of the First World War, Central Europe saw the birth of new republics and hope for democratic renewal. Women and working-class representatives entered parliaments for the first time, and lawmakers found themselves at the centre of a rapidly changing political landscape. This book explores the lives, work, and networks of interwar parliamentarians, focusing on their navigation of political sociability and their evolving roles on the international stage. Challenging the common narrative of the 1920s and 1930s as an era of insurmountable political division, A Continent of Colleagues delves into the behind-the-scenes world of European politics. Drawing on diaries, letters, calendars,...
Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained
Django Unchained is certainly Quentin Tarantino's most commercially-successful film and is arguably also his most controversial. Fellow director Spike Lee has denounced the representation of race and slavery in the film, while many African American writers have defended the white auteur. The use of extremely graphic violence in the film, even by Tarantino's standards, at a time when gun control is being hotly debated, has sparked further controversy and has led to angry outbursts by the director himself. Moreover, Django Unchained has become a popular culture phenomenon, with t-shirts, highly contentious action figures, posters, and strong DVD/BluRay sales. The topic (slavery and revenge), the setting (a few years before the Civil War), the intentionally provocative generic roots (Spaghetti Western and Blaxploitation) and the many intertexts and references (to German and French culture) demand a thorough examination. Befitting such a complex film, the essays collected here represent a diverse group of scholars who examine Django Unchained from many perspectives.
Von Zwanzig bis Dreißig - 1. Teil
Klassiker aus dem Jahr 2009 im Fachbereich Germanistik - Neuere Deutsche Literatur, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Vorwort*** Von Zwanzig bis Dreißig - unter diesem Titel gebe ich hier Autobiographisches, und zwar im Anschluß an schon früher veröffentlichte Mitteilungen, die, mit meinem zwölften Lebensjahre abschließend, sich Meine Kinderjahre betitelten. Es könnte danach beinahe scheinen, als ob ich, gewollt oder nicht gewollt, eine Lücke gelassen und einen Sprung über acht Jahre fort gemacht hätte. Dies ist aber nicht der Fall, weil ich vielfach auf die zwischenliegende Zeit von Zwölf bis Zwanzig zurückgegriffen habe. Noch häufiger freilich weit darüber hinaus, was denn auch sch...
