Healthcare in Northern Ireland, 1921–73

In this book, Owen Cantrell focuses on politics and popular culture in the United States from 1980 to 2020 to argue that the twin structures of feeling of nostalgia and paranoia offered a pathway to address the changed relationship to history in this era that were a result of the backlash politics to the gains of the civil rights movement(s). Drawing on Bifo Berardi's contention that "the future is over" helps explain how the concept of the future effectively ended in this era and made the structures of paranoia and nostalgia eminently more desirable as a cultural response to political dilemmas. As the future lost its place as a locus of value, then, we entered a state of what Mark Fisher calls "a failed mourning" to describe how the narratives of paranoia and nostalgia offered compensation for a future that no longer felt relevant or even possible. Throughout the latter half of the twentieth century and the first two decades of the twenty-first century, the structures of paranoia and nostalgia mirrored the changing political relationship to history, race, and culture in the United States. From Back to the Future and The Matrix to Get Out and Black Panther, Cantrell demonstrates how paranoia and nostalgia have structured American political and cultural life over the past forty years Ultimately, this book addresses both how the structures of paranoia and nostalgia functioned in this era, as well as how popular films reflected the failure to imagine the future.

Edition Medienwissenschaft

In einer global vernetzten, digital durchdrungenen Welt genügt es nicht mehr, in geschlossenen Systemen zu denken. Der Blick richtet sich vielmehr auf das, was Systeme verbindet und definiert: das Spiel der Schnittstellen. Als Orte der Übertragung, Filterung, Übersetzung und Sinnbildung werden sie zu den zentralen Erkenntnisobjekten überhaupt. Zwischen Mensch und Maschine, Kultur und Technik, Sprache und Material ermöglichen sie nicht nur Austausch, sondern auch ständige Veränderung. Christian Stein führt interdisziplinäre Perspektiven aus&nbsp;Medien-, Kultur-, Technik- und Naturwissenschaften zusammen.&nbsp;So öffnet er ein neues Denken - eines, das Schnittstellen offenlegt und zu ihrer aktiven Mit- und Umgestaltung anregt.

Eine interdisziplinäre Theorie des Zwischen

In the 1940s, it was believed that homosexuality had been becoming more widespread in the aftermath of war. A moral panic ensued, centred around London as the place to which gay men gravitated. Peter Parker's fascinating new compendium explores what it was actually like for queer men in London in this period, whether they were well-known figures such as Francis Bacon, Joe Orton and Kenneth Williams, or living lives of quiet - or occasionally rowdy - anonymity in pubs, clubs, more public places of assignation, or at home. It is rich with letters, diaries, psychological textbooks, novels, films, plays and police records, covering a wide range of viewpoints, from those who deplored homosexuality to those who campaigned for its decriminalisation. This second volume, from 1960 to 1967, shows how key elements in British society gradually changed their views on homosexuality, resulting in the landmark 1967 act by which it was no longer considered a crime if it took place between adults in private. This did not end violence, discrimination and prejudice, but it at least curbed official persecution. Some Men in London is a testament to queer life and its thriving, joyous subculture - a subculture without which the 1960s would have been immeasurably impoverished.

A celebration of 75 years of publishing at Thames &amp; Hudson - a delight for bibliophiles, historians, art lovers and fans of the T&amp;H brand. In 1949 Walter and Eva Neurath founded Thames &amp; Hudson with a clear aim: to make art and scholarship more accessible through independent publishing that was prepared to risk being ahead of the curve. Seventy-five years later, their original vision of creating a 'museum without walls' still resonates. As well as publishing beautifully designed and produced books in collaboration with the world's leading artists, writers, museums, cultural institutions and fashion houses, T&amp;H continues to evolve and innovate, remaining relevant and reflecting the times we live in. This special publication, divided into three chronological chapters, provides a comprehensive delve into the company's history. An introduction and three essays by historian Anna Nyburg take us from its origins in Vienna on the cusp of the Second World War to the 1960s and a change in management, and to the new millennium and beyond. Thames &amp; Hudson's rich output of groundbreaking and award-winning titles - ranging across the subjects of art, archaeology and architecture; history, design, photography and fashion - is celebrated in stunning pictorial spreads, as beautiful and compelling as the books themselves. The Art of the Book will be a valuable resource for those interested in the history of bookmaking and T&amp;H's impact over the years, and a must-have for collectors, enthusiasts and anyone with an appreciation for the art and evolution of publishing.

The Bloomsbury History of Modern Germany Series

Dictatorships and Authoritarianism in Modern German History provides readers with a comprehensive overview of the history of dictatorships in Germany since the French Revolution. Dictatorships have been a defining feature of modern German history. The Nazi dictatorship between 1933 and 1945, which brought about the Second World War and the Holocaust, is still taught in schools and universities as the prime example of the destructiveness of ideologically driven regimes in the 20th century; the state-socialist regime in the German Democratic Republic that lasted for over 40 years bore many of the same dictatorial features. Understanding the factors that made these two regimes possible, their inner workings, but also their impact on the lives of many people, is key to understanding the course of modern German history as a whole and this is discussed at length in this absorbing volume. The book moves beyond the familiar historical narratives to incorporate analysis of key political thinkers and their interpretations of the problem of authoritarian and totalitarian rule. The discussion of these political dimensions is given further depth with the examination of the impact of dictatorship on German society as well as key figures of the 20th century.
