Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Today, death is marked by a paradoxical condition of absence and presence. People are hidden away in care homes or hospitals when they die. Professionals deal with death, making it invisible to non-professionals. At the same time, death is all around us via media images and popular cultural narratives. Whether in media reports from sites of war, televised royal funerals, gruesome murders in true-crime podcasts or fictional stories in films, death would seem to be everywhere. The pandemic also influenced our thinking about death.1 While the dead and dying were often even more separated from the living during this time - with care homes closed off and funerals limited to only a few people - death was very present in news reports, and online spaces provided new ways of mourning and remembering.2 Although this issue focuses on death, it is also concerned with life - as stories of death often are.25 The contributions all highlight that death, loss and mourning are fundamental aspects of being human, an insight often overlooked in contemporary cultures that tend to conceal death, which everyone must ultimately confront. Media and popular culture have a part to play in this encounter. But exactly what this role is - whether it provides comfort, disillusionment or perhaps more questions - varies according to social and cultural contexts as well as individual perceptions and preferences. 165 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -In an era when media and their narratives significantly shape public perceptions, it is imperative we examine and broaden our understanding of how Islam - a religious and cultural tradition of remarkable depth and diversity - is portrayed-on screen. For decades now, the depiction of Islam in film and television has often been reduced to a narrow set of stereotypes, often caricatures of Islam or Muslims portrayed as shadowy villains, sinister figures, and potential terrorists. This final, and frequent, portrayal is associated with the events of 9/11 and their aftermath and with various global political and social developments. Found across media, it was taken up in particular by the entertainment industry. This depiction was not entirely new, as a thorough survey of the representation of Islam in US-American cinema since 1979 has made evident, but only if Islam was a topic at all. However, the first decades of the twenty-first century have seen a deepening of the negative stereotypes.Current scholarship on this topic has pointed to the one-sidedness of such depictions and the problems they create. Indeed, one-dimensional narratives not only misrepresent the rich traditions and practices of Islam but also enhance the skewed perception of Islam in the West. This issue seeks to counter such tendencies, but without falling into the trap of being merely apologetic. To that end it provides a rich and diverse collection of contributions on aspects of how Islam and Muslims are presented on-screen.Faced with a remarkable response to the call for papers for this issue, we selected contributions that could be grouped together under specific headings. The first section of the issue contains articles focused on particular strands of the Islamic tradition or on a specific ethnicity in the Islamic world. The second section is devoted to the wider Islamic diaspora 'in the West', a topic on which we received the largest number of proposals, likely a reflection of the longer history of academic study of this particular theme. The thematic section of this issue concludes with a contribution on a Muslim filmmaker whose work is widely admired as an example of an alternative view on the Islamic tradition. 184 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Ein sechs Monate altes Baby wird aus der Wohnung seiner Mutter geraubt. Die kriminelle Handlung wird schon nach wenigen Tagen vom damaligen sozialistischen Staat legitimiert und das Kind wächst bei diesen fremden Adoptiveltern ohne Geschwister, ohne Großeltern und ohne weitere Verwandte auf. Die vermeintlichen Eltern erziehen es in ihrem Sinne und verschweigen seine Herkunft, bis das Kind eines Tages die alles offenbarende Entdeckung macht und das bestätigt findet, was es schon immer geahnt hat. Es ist die unglaubliche Geschichte der Autorin, die sich genau so, wie beschrieben, zugetragen hat. Das Buch zeigt auf, wozu Menschen fähig sind und was mit Hilfe eines autoritären Regimes möglich ist. 176 pp. Deutsch.
