Theories, Practices, and Cultures of Participation in Dissent
Is there an option to oppose without automatically participating in the opposed? This volume explores different perspectives on dissent, understanding practices, cultures, and theories of resistance, dispute, and opposition as inherently participative.
The book discusses aspects of the body as a political instance, the identity and subjectivity building of individuals and groups, (micro-)practices of dissent, and theories of critique from different disciplinary perspectives. This collection thus touches upon contemporary issues, recent protests and movements, artistic subversion and dissent, online activism as well as historic developments and elemental theories of dissent.

The Changing Face of Alterity | David J. Gunkel, Ciro Marcondes Filho, Dieter Mersch (Hg.) [E-Book PDF]
The figure of the ‚other‘ is fundamental to the concept of communication. Online or offline, communication, which is commonly defined as the act of sending or imparting information to others, is only possible in the face of others. In fact, the reason we communicate is to interact with others—to talk to another, to share our thoughts and insights with them, or to respond to their needs and requests. No matter how it is structured or conceptualized, communication is involved with addressing the other and dealing with the ontological, epistemological, and ethical questions of otherness or alterity. But who or what can be other? Who or what can be the subject of communication? Is the other always and only another human? Or can the other in these communicative interactions be otherwise? This book is about others (and other kinds of others). It concerns the current position and status of the other in the face of technological innovations that can, in one way or another distort, mask, or even deface the other. Ten innovative essays, written by an international team of experts, individually and in collaboration with each other, seek to diagnose the current situation with otherness, devise innovative solutions to the questions of alterity, and provide insight for students, teachers and researchers trying to make sense of the opportunities and challenges of the 21st century.

Constructions of Cultural Identities in Newsreel Cinema and Television after 1945 | Kornelia Imesch, Sigrid Schade, Samuel Sieber (eds.)
Bis in die 1960er Jahre prägten Wochenschauen in Kinos und Fernsehen die politische Landschaft und trugen zur Bildung nationaler und kultureller Identität bei. Sie beeinflussten massgeblich die Entwicklung heutiger effektvoller Fernsehformate. Die Archive der Wochenschau-Aufnahmen werden wiederholt verwendet, um vergangene Ereignisse und ihre Bedeutung zu illustrieren und reinszenieren. Die Publikation verhandelt Wochenschauen als ein Medium zur Bildung kultureller Identitäten in den verschiedenen nationalen Kontexten nach 1945.

3. Kreativwirtschaftsbericht Zürich (2010) | Christoph Weckerle, Hubert Theler [PDF]
Als 2003 der erste Kulturwirtschaftsbericht für die Schweiz veröffentlicht wurde, entstand ein neues, bemerkenswertes Bewusstsein: Für die kulturelle Vielfalt der Schweiz war der staatlich finanzierte Sektor ebenso wichtig wie der kommerzielle.
Um ein besseres Verständnis für die Rolle Zürichs innerhalb der kulturellen Vielfalt der Schweiz zu gewinnen, wurden drei Kreativwirtschaftsberichte in Folge (2005, 2008, 2010) mit dem Schwerpunkt Zürich veröffentlicht. Sie enthalten Daten und Fakten über die wirtschaftlichen Auswirkungen der Kultur- und Kreativwirtschaft auf den Grossraum Zürich sowie spezifische Charakteristika der Branche.
