Since his death André Hazes has become an increasingly prominent phenomenon within the contemporary popular culture of the Netherlands. In retrospect, the illustrious farewell concert André Dank, on 27 September 2004 in the Amsterdam ArenA, appears to have only kicked off a long succession of cultural productions associated with Hazes: biographies, a statue, commemorative concerts, television programs, a musical and soon a feature film. . The figure André Hazes apparently speaks far and wide to the imagination. But what makes Hazes so appealing? This booklet tries to answer that question. It is not so much about 'the man Hazes' or his life, but about what is referred to here as 'the phenomenon Hazes'. The Hazes phenomenon reveals a number of broader phenomena from contemporary Dutch society, of which the BN'er culture, sing-along culture and culture of remembrance are the most determining factors. In addition, Hazes provides an excellent illustration of the importance nowadays attached to "authenticity" or "authenticity," and its central role in emotion.

Although the idea of hindsight is frequently associated with the biases, distortions, and outright lies of memoryas in the infamous ""20-20"" scenario or the conviction that one ""knew it all along""Mark Freeman maintains that this process of looking backward over the terrain of the past can also serve as a profound source of insight, understanding, and self-knowledge. Consider Tolstoys harrowing tale of Ivan Ilych, revisiting his past on the eve of his death, only to realize that the life he had been living was a lie. Consider as well the many times in our own lives when, upon reviewing the p

A successful business deal maximizes value for all parties. Drawing on diverse case studies and decades of experience, Michael Klausner and Guhan Subramanian show how contracting parties can reach that goal through rigorous attention to incentives, information asymmetries, exit terms, moral hazard, and opportunism.

It is widely recognized that American culture is both exceptionally religious and exceptionally violent. Americans participate in religious communities in high numbers, yet American citizens also own guns at rates far beyond those of citizens in other industrialized nations. Since9/11, United States scholars have understandably discussed religious violence in terms of terrorist acts, a focus that follows United States policy. Yet, according to Jon Pahl, to identify religious violence only with terrorism fails to address the long history of American violence rooted in religion throughout the country’s history. In essence, Americans have found ways to consider blessed some very brutal attitudes and behaviors both domestically and globally.In Empire of Sacrifice, Pahl explains how both of these distinctive features of American culture work together by exploring how constructions along the lines of age, race, and gender have operated to centralize cultural power across American civil or cultural religions in ways that don’t always appear to be "religious" at all. Pahl traces the development of these forms of systemic violence throughout American history, using evidence from popular culture, including movies such as Rebel without a Cause and Reefer Madness and works of literature such as The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass and The Handmaid's Tale, to illuminate historical events. Throughout, Pahl focuses an intense light on the complex and durable interactions between religion and violence in American history, from Puritan Boston to George W. Bush’s Baghdad.
