Warum treten Medien auch als Möbel in Erscheinung? Ausgehend von der Beobachtung des Fernsehens als Möbel entwickelt Monique Miggelbrink eine eigene Herangehensweise für die Untersuchung von Medien des häuslichen Gebrauchs. Die »Vermöbelung« des Fernsehens zeigt sich weniger in Formen und Funktionen des technischen Geräts, sondern vielmehr an seinem Gehäuse-Design und entsprechenden Einrichtungspraktiken. Anhand von historischem Quellenmaterial aus Einrichtungs- und Programmzeitschriften, Werbeanzeigen und Fernsehfibeln geht die Studie in einem Kulturvergleich mit den USA den geschlechts- und schichtspezifischen Bedeutungen nach, die sich im Design und Gebrauch von Fernsehgeräten als Möbel in der Wohnkultur der BRD der 1950er- und 1960er-Jahre herausbilden. »Miggelbrinks Studie bietet Anregungen für Untersuchungen gegenwärtiger Medienlandschaften, die von Streamingangeboten und dem ›Internet of Things‹ geprägt sind, und in denen das Mediale gegenüber dem Möbel zu dominieren scheint.« Sophie Gerber, Technikgeschichte, 87/3 (2020) »Der wissenschaftliche Verdienst der Arbeit liegt im Besonderen in der tiefgreifenden Beschäftigung der Autorin mit den gängigen Theorien zur Verhäuslichung.« Petra Witting-Nöthen, Vierteljahresschrift für Sozial- und Wirtschaftsgeschichte, 1 (2019) »Das Buch [eröffnet] eine spannende Perspektive auf die Weise, wie der Mensch mit Technik interagiert und darauf, wieviel unsere Wohnungen und Einrichtungen sowie die sie verarbeitenden Medien über unsere Gesellschaft aussagen.« Elina Potratz, der architekt, 6 (2018) Besprochen in: www.hhprinzler.de, 01.12.2018, Hans Helmut Prinzler H-Soz-u-Kult, 05.03.2019, Jonathan Voges

Stravinsky in the Americas explores the "pre-Craft" period of Igor Stravinsky's life, from when he first landed on American shores in 1925 to the end of World War II in 1945. Through a rich archival trove of ephemera, correspondence, photographs, and other documents, eminent musicologist H. Colin Slim examines the twenty-year period that began with Stravinsky as a radical European art-music composer and ended with him as a popular figure in American culture. This collection traces Stravinsky's rise to fame-catapulted in large part by his collaborations with Hollywood and Disney and marked by his extra-marital affairs, his grappling with feelings of anti-Semitism, and his encounters with contemporary musicians as the music industry was emerging and taking shape in midcentury America. Slim's lively narrative records the composer's larger-than-life persona through a close look at his transatlantic tours and domestic excursions, where Stravinsky's personal and professional life collided in often-dramatic ways.

Funnybooks is the story of the most popular American comic books of the 1940's and 1950's, those published under the Dell label. For a time, "Dell Comics Are Good Comics" was more than a slogan-it was a simple statement of fact. Many of the stories written and drawn by people like Carl Barks (Donald Duck, Uncle Scrooge), John Stanley (Little Lulu), and Walt Kelly (Pogo) repay reading and rereading by educated adults even today, decades after they were published as disposable entertainment for children. Such triumphs were improbable, to say the least, because midcentury comics were so widely dismissed as trash by angry parents, indignant librarians, and even many of the people who published them. It was all but miraculous that a few great cartoonists were able to look past that nearly universal scorn and grasp the artistic potential of their medium. With clarity and enthusiasm, Barrier explains what made the best stories in the Dell comic books so special. He deftly turns a complex and detailed history into an expressive narrative sure to appeal to an audience beyond scholars and historians.
