DIVTells the story of the women who fought for a voice in the construction of a German state system /div
Dissonant Lives is not a standard 'history of Germany' in the twentieth century, or even of the German dictatorships. It is concerned with the ways in which Germans of different ages and life stages lived through this terrible period in German history, and how they interpreted, confronted, and responded to the multiple challenges of their times. In volume two, Mary Fulbrook explores the move from the Nazi dictatorship to the communism that succeeded it, examining the experiences and perceptions of selected individuals, and how major historical events affected the course of their lives and their outlooks. In doing so, she provides a new understanding of the ways in which not only the character of the German state, economy, and social structure changed over the century, but also the very character of the German people themselves.

"The central aim of this book is to consider to what extent changes in organisations and in the nature of jobs are compatible with the need, increasingly expressed by employees, for greater integration between work and family life. The book questions what sort of dilemmas modern and future employees face, in terms of shaping their careers and organising their lives at home. The authors formulate answers to these problematic questions by shedding light on relevant developments in the European labour markets, the European workplaces, in (flexible) working patterns, changing preferences for working hours and in gender relations at work.".
Summary: Survival: The Saga of My Ancestors describes five generations that emanated from Germany and Italy. It is based on research through ancestry.com and other internet sources as well as interviews with relatives and discoveries in long-forgotten closets and scrapbooks. It includes tales of immigration, settling, and dealing with successes and failures. The people depicted are hard-working, most of them in the steel related industries of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. In addition to chapters on each of the four branches of the author's heritage, there are chapters that deal with the research process.
Einst wuchsen uns hier in Maróc die Trauben, Aprikosen und Feigen in den Mund. Seit wir enteignet wurden, müssen wir die Früchte unserer Erde mit Geld kaufen. Auf die gleiche Art, Enteignung, Verbote, Vertreibung und Flucht, wachsen noch immer Geldmenge, Schuldentragfähigkeit, der Reichtum der Provisionäre und die Macht über andere. Hegyhátmaróc hatte eine Basisdemokratie, genügte jedoch, wie fast alle Landstriche Europas in der ersten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts, nicht den fiskalen Erfordernissen. Die Folge waren fiskale Kriege, Kriege des Fiskus, demnach des Staates als Eigentümer des Staatsvermögens, getarnt durch ideologische Herrschaftsparadigmen, welche den Teufel an die Wa...
The 1990s are proving to be a time, quite literally, of shifting territories in Europe - East and West. Both the revolutions in Eastern Europe in 1989 and the breaking of economic boundaries in 1992 are creating a new Europe; a Europe in which old questions have to be re-asked and old assumptions revaluated. This Feminist Review special issue, Shifting Territories explores these political changes in all their complexity, and in particular looks at how these changes will affect women and feminism. Feminist Review employs its unique perspective to ask such pertinent questions as: how can we make sense of these major transformations? How should we respond to them? What part should feminists play in the new world order? Is it so 'new'? With articles covering the relationship between nationalism and feminism, the women's movement in Eastern Europe, feminism and the crisis of socialism, this Feminist Review special issue explores these shifting territories and tries to make sense of the reverberations affecting all our lives.
Knit robots, build spaceships, and shape the future. Extraordinary short stories about gender, artificial intelligence and the art of building something new.

From Pygmalion and Galatea to Frankenstein, Ex Machina and Person of Interest, the fictional landscape so often frames cisgender men as the creators of artificial life, leading to the same kinds of stories being told over and over. We want to bring some genuine revolution to the way that artificial intelligenc...
