Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -TikTok is one of the world's most popular digital platforms. Although it may seem unusual at first, many jazz musicians have large followings on this short-form video platform. Benjamin Burkhart examines how popular jazz musicians use TikTok and how jazz is represented on the platform. He investigates how the musicians deal with the platform's affordances, tailor their content to the short-form video format, and interact with the platform's algorithmic system. The study also examines the musicians' expectations regarding TikTok users' actions, and reveals which jazz-related content achieves the greatest visibility on the platform. Through interviews with popular content creators, the study shows that the socio-technical interaction between musicians and the platform leads to a very specific representation of jazz on TikTok. 273 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - What does really happen between the moment when a scientist is observing a bird in the wild and publishing a scientific chart Jana Thierfelder reveals the hidden life of field science through the 30-year archive of biologist Michael Griesser's work with Siberian jays in Sweden. Blending design, anthropology, and science studies, it uncovers the sketches, notes, tools, and sensory practices behind scientific knowledge. By tracing how scientific observation becomes publication, it shows that science is not just objective output - but lived, embodied, and relational work. It is about the people, places, and processes that shape knowledge. A call for more open, transdisciplinary approaches to how we understand and share science.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Over 85 billion animals are killed in slaughterhouses yearly to sustain a profit-driven meat production system - devastating animals, workers, and the environment. How did we get here How has capitalist society reshaped human-animal relations Elaborating a novel materialist and intersectional framework, Chiara Stefanoni conceptualizes the social form of human-animal relations and its centrality within the interconnected structure of domination in capitalist societies, especially in relation to gender and class. Through a historical analysis of industrial slaughterhouses, the study reveals how the human/animal divide and meat-based diet are not timeless facts, but concrete social solutions crucial for the reproduction of capitalist society.transcript Verlag, Hermannstraße 26, 33602 Bielefeld 222 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Russia's attack on Ukraine in 2022 was called a watershed in postwar European history. The West sees Putin's Russia on the way to restoring the former Soviet Union. But Putin's increasingly aggressive stance was also a reaction to Western politics. The real possibility of a new security and peace order in Europe opening in the 1990s was not pursued. Instead, NATO was enlarged to the east. Now, a massive arms build-up is on the way. Using historical sources, international news media, representative surveys, and personal interviews with people in Ukraine, Max Haller shows that this war has not been predetermined and - following Kant - peace initiatives are possible even now. In these, the European Union should assume a leading role. 326 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Soziale Medien lenken nicht nur ab, sondern verletzen auch - so die zentrale These von Geert Lovink. Er bezeichnet die vorherrschende Gefühlslandschaft im digitalen Raum als Copium, ein metaphorisches Opiat, das die Nutzer\*innen betäubt, die in Endlosschleifen von Scrolling, Untergang und Ablenkung gefangen sind. Die gegenwärtige Verfassung des Internets ist ein Zustand der Permakrise, in der Stagnation, Wut, Erstarrung, algorithmische Manipulation, KI-Slop und Technofeudalismus den Alltag bestimmen. Umso dringender braucht es diesen Appell zum kollektiven Rückzug aus den Sozialen Medien, der gleichzeitig dazu aufruft, die digitale Mündigkeit zu bewahren. 246 pp. Deutsch.…
