Legal Drafts in Anthropocene Literature

1990: Fern liegt Bonn, die Hauptstadt des vereinigten Deutschlands.
Ost-Berlin hat ausgedient. Leipzig wird zum pulsierenden Drehkreuz einer Gesellschaft, die sich neu erfindet. Was hier 1989 auf den Straßen begann, verlangt nun Mut zum Machen: neue Politik, neue Verwaltungen, neue Unternehmen, neue Formen des Miteinanders. Inmitten dieses "wilden" ersten Jahres nach der friedlichen Revolution ringen Menschen aus Ost und West gemeinsam - oft gegeneinander und im Streit untereinander - um Wege in eine unbekannte Zukunft. Reinhard Bohse, selbst mittendrin als Akteur des Neuen Forums, Verleger und späterer Pressesprecher der Stadt, öffnet den Blick auf eine Zeit, in der alles möglich scheint und zugleich alles auf dem Spiel steht. Aus bisher unerschlossenen Archivfunden, Zeitungsausschnitten und persönlichen Dokumenten rekonstruiert er ein Jahr, das von klugen Entscheidungen, bitteren Enttäuschungen, überraschenden Enthüllungen und überwältigendem Engagement geprägt ist. Mit erzählerischer Präzision ruft Bohse die enorme Kraftleistung eines gesellschaftlichen Neuanfangs ins Gedächtnis - einer Pionierarbeit, für die es kein Vorbild gab und die bis heute zu wenig gewürdigt wird. Ein packendes Zeitdokument über den Mut, eine Zukunft zu schaffen, die noch niemand kannte.

Quitting gets a bad rap. It's what the lazy people do. It's synonymous with giving up. Winners don't quit.Except, that's not really true. This book shakes our perceptions and teaches a hard lesson: according to the research, working hard non-stop and persevering through pain isn't always the answer to everything.We live in a society that champions perseverance, sweat and tenacity no matter the cost. But what if our relentlessness results in failure, sunken costs and poor health, rather than success, happiness, and vitality? Lindsay Crouse, an award-winning reporter and writer for the New York Times, argues that our society has tricked us into thinking that staying the course is the ultimate achievement, despite the surprising cost to ourselves.She delves into the science of perseverance versus walking away from aspects of our lives, and relays a diverse blend of compelling personal stories, historical examples and psychological insights - from the origins of the self-help genre to the Finnish concept of sisu, resilience.For anyone at a crossroads in their personal or professional lives, The Case for Quitting is a groundbreaking guide that ruptures our core beliefs. Career seekers, athletes, entrepreneurs and anyone exploring new opportunities or feeling stuck in unproductive routines will appreciate its insights on the courage and - importantly - strategy involved in quitting.

Blind Date with a Book

Sound as world-making, music as metaphor: a critical inquiry into acoustheology, resonance, and the late-modern desire to hear the world as
unity.

Why has sound become one of the dominant metaphors of late modernity? From ASMR and data sonification to ecological theory and social philosophy, music and auditory perception increasingly promise connection, immersion, and meaning. In This is not music, Magdalena Zorn traces this acoustic turn through the concept of acoustheology: a mode of thinking in which sound becomes a substitute for theology, grounding worldviews, ethics, and social imaginaries.

Drawing on music history, sound studies, philosophy, and media theory, this book examines how composers, theorists, and artists since the mid-twentieth century have expanded music into a boundless explanatory model-often at the cost of critique, distance, and difference. Zorn challenges the widespread celebration of resonance, vibration, and sonic connectedness, revealing their political, epistemological, and affective implications. What appears as intimacy and togetherness, she argues, may also produce conformity, obedience, and exclusion.
This is not music is a rigorous intervention into contemporary debates on sound, ecology, and culture-insisting on reflection where immersion promises
comfort.
