Michalina Seekamp untersucht die Ursachen der Anpassungsträgheit der deutschen Musikindustrie im Angesicht disruptiver Technologien. Mittels einer empirischen Untersuchung weist sie nach, dass dieses im Extremfall existenzgefährdende Verhalten durch eine homogene Branchenkultur ausgelöst wird, deren zugrundeliegendes Weltbild die Akteure bei Unsicherheit dazu verleitet, auf bewährte Strategien zurückzugreifen. Um eine dynamische Adaption an technologischen Wandel zu fördern, empfiehlt sie verschiedene Maßnahmen und beleuchtet diese kritisch. Die gefundenen Ergebnisse der Untersuchung sowie die Handlungsempfehlungen haben in gleichem Maße auch für andere Branchen Relevanz, die mit den Auswirkungen neuer Technologien kämpfen.

This timely and engaging book addresses communicative issues that arise when science and technology travel across socio-cultural boundaries. The authors discuss interactions between different scientific communities; scientists and policy-makers; science and the public; scientists and artists; and other situations where science clashes with other socio-cultural domains. The volume includes theoretical proposals of how to deal with intercultural communication related to science and technology, as well as rich case studies that illustrate the challenges and strategies deployed in these situations. Individual studies explore Europe, Latin America, and Africa, thus including diverse Global North and South contexts.

This book investigates the global hub airport as an exemplar of cosmopolitan culture and space. A machine made for movement, itself perched at the crossroads of the world’s incessant mobility, the airport is both a symbol of and stage for the ways in which we construct and inhabit the world today. Taking an ethnographically-inflected approach, this study brings together knowledge of the moving body from dance and performance and the study of systems of mobility within cultural and mobilities studies, in order to call attention to the kinaesthetic experience of global space. What is the choreography of the global airport? How does it perform on us. How do we perform within it? Extending thinking about contemporary cosmopolitanism and cultural identity, and the performativity of places and identities, this book is essential reading for those interested in cultural debates around globalisation, the innovative application of performance theory towards everyday experience, and interdisciplinary methodologies.

This pivot offers an innovative, trans-local perspective on performance studies in the era of digital technology, considering a range of content from theater to opera, film, dance, and musical theatre. It examines theatre performing arts and film in terms of aesthetics, gender studies, and identity politics, and showcases the value of human accomplishments in theatre and film and their representative artistic works. It also addresses key issues within performance studies, such as gender, class, race, ethnicity, identity, and how minorities portray their ethnicity stories. This book links the trans-national and the trans-local and considers how emerging mobile geographies and new methodologies of interpreting performance in theatre and film reflect the transformations of our understanding of geopolitical time and space.
