Abstract

During the Russian Revolution and Civil War, amateur theater groups sprang up in cities across the country. Workers, peasants, students, soldiers, and sailors provided entertainment ranging from improvisations to gymnastics and from propaganda sketches to the plays of Chekhov. In Revolutionary Acts, Lynn Mally reconstructs the history of the amateur stage in Soviet Russia from 1917 to the height of the Stalinist purges. Her book illustrates in fascinating detail how Soviet culture was transformed during the new regime's first two decades in power.Of all the arts, theater had a special appeal for mass audiences in Russia, and with the coming of the revolution it took on an important role in the dissemination of the new socialist culture. Mally's analysis of amateur theater as a space where performers, their audiences, and the political authorities came into contact enables her to explore whether this culture emerged spontaneously "from below" or was imposed by the revolutionary elite. She shows that by the late 1920s, Soviet leaders had come to distrust the initiatives of the lower classes, and the amateur theaters fell increasingly under the guidance of artistic professionals. Within a few years, state agencies intervened to homogenize repertoire and performance style, and with the institutionalization of Socialist Realist principles, only those works in a unified Soviet canon were presented.

Abstract

This spirited volume explores the history and diversity of improvisation in the cinema, including works by Jean Renoir, Jean-Luc Godard, and Nobuhiro Suwa. Gilles Mouëllic examines improvisational practices that can be specifically attributed to the cinema and argues in favors of their powers as instigators of unprecedented forms of expression. Improvising Cinema reflects both on the permanence of attempting improvisation and the relationship between technology and aesthetics. Mouëllic concludes preservation becomes even more invaluable in the case of improvisation, as the creative act exists only within the brief time span of the performance.

Abstract

Der Glaube an die Segnungen, aber auch die Zwangsläufigkeit des technischen Fortschritts entwickelte sich in der Phase des Hochimperialismus zu einer wirkmächtigen Ideologie, von der auch deutsche Ingenieure profitierten.Das Buch legt den Schwerpunkt der Analyse auf die ehemaligen Kolonien Deutsch Ost- und Deutsch-Südwestafrika. Der Fokus liegt dabei auf der Gruppe der technischen Experten, die mit dem Bau von Eisenbahnen, Straßen und Häfen einen entscheidenden Anteil an der Machtsicherung, Erschließung und Ausbeutung der Kolonien hatten. Neben der Exotik, monetären Anreizen sowie dem Prestige, das eine Tätigkeit in Afrika versprach, zog es Ingenieure vor allem aufgrund einer speziellen "Ideologie der Erschließung" in die sogenannten Schutzgebiete. Die spezielle Gruppenidentität als Kolonialingenieure, die sich in der Folge herausbildete, lässt sich in Artikeln und Vorträgen bis in die 1940er Jahre nachweisen und wirkte sich selbst noch auf die Ansätze der frühen Entwicklungshilfe aus.

Abstract

Les pratiques amateur, foisonnantes et hétéroclites, restent largement méconnues, en particulier dans le domaine des médias et du journalisme, alors qu'elles représentent bien souvent une part importante des activités culturelles et sociales. Les recompositions récentes de l'espace public médiatique ont fait émerger la figure du « journaliste amateur », tantôt perçu comme le fossoyeur du journalisme professionnel, tantôt célébré comme un agent de démocratisation de l'expression publique. Cette publication entend faire avancer les connaissances empiriques et la réflexion théorique sur ce « journalisme amateur » et les pratiques de diffusion des biens culturels ordinaires par les médias. Les relations entre espaces profanes et espaces professionnels, les médiations techniques et sociales des pratiques amateur, les conditions et les effets de leur inscription dans la durée, constituent autant de points d'entrée privilégiés sur le matériau empirique diversifié de l'ouvrage : les publications alternatives en Tchécoslovaquie, un réseau de médias libres à Mexico, les correspondant locaux d'un titre de presse quotidienne régionale en France, une entreprise de production de logiciels éducatifs en Grande-Bretagne, ou encore des blogs musicaux, de cinéma ou de bande dessinée. À rebours des discours normatifs dont le « journalisme amateur » est le plus souvent l'objet dans des débats publics récurrents, les analyses proposées ici s'appuient sur une étude sociologique fine des individus et des groupes considérés, ainsi que des données de cadrage pour articuler étroitement l'étude des relations entre champs professionnels et espaces amateur, d'une part, et entre les sujets et les objets de leurs passions politiques ou culturelles, d'autre part.

Abstract

Although overlooked by most narratives of American cinema history, films made for purposes outside of theatrical entertainment dominated twentieth-century motion picture production. This volume adds to the growing study of nontheatrical films by focusing on the way filmmakers developed and audiences encountered ideas about race, identity, politics, and community outside the borders of theatrical cinema. The contributors to Screening Race in American Nontheatrical Film examine the place and role of race in educational films, home movies, industry and government films, anthropological films, and church films, as well as other forms of nontheatrical filmmaking.

Abstract

Mit Volker Braun, Lutz Seiler und Christa Wolf sind nur drei von zahlreichen Schriftsteller*innen genannt, die mit einem bis dato kaum beachteten Kulturphänomen verbunden sind - den »schreibenden Arbeitern« der DDR, die über 30 Jahre identitätsstiftend im politischen, kulturellen und gesellschaftlichen Ostdeutschland wirkten. Die Studie von Anne M. N. Sokoll arbeitet erstmals die Entwicklung von den Anfängen in den 1950er Jahren bis zur versuchten Neuetablierung im Deutschland nach 1990 sowie die Ästhetik und die Kulturpraxis der Laienautor*innen detailliert auf. Damit eröffnet sich ein Bezugshorizont zu aktuellen gesellschaftspolitischen und kulturellen Diskursen, die auch 30 Jahre nach der deutschen Wiedervereinigung virulent sind.

Abstract

The foundations of sports cardiology include promoting physical activity and providing a safe environment for training and competition for all athletes at all levels, from professional to recreational. To combine these two aims, reliable tools to perform preparticipation screenings are needed. Moreover, those at high risk of potentially life-threatening events should be advised to limit their training load, while others should be reassured that there is no exercise-related cardiovascular risk. We are currently witnessing the advent of new portable devices for remote and mobile heart monitoring and several new and promising biochemical markers, which can support athletes’ diagnostic processes. In this Special Issue of the Diagnostics journal entitled “Diagnostic Challenges in Sports Cardiology”, we present a series of 13 manuscripts, including eight original works, three reviews, and two case reports, which give a glimpse into the current research topics in the area of sports cardiology.
