Verschwörungsideologien in Filmen und Serien: Erklärungsansätze und Chancen zur Intervention
by Denis Newiak Anastasia SchnitzerCorona als inszeniertes Unterdrückungsinstrument, geheim gehaltene Impftote oder kinderbluttrinkende Politiker: Spätestens seit dem Ausbruch der Covid-19-Pandemie haben Verschwörungsideologien Hochkonjunktur und schaden durch ihren Dogmatismus dem sozialen Frieden und der demokratischen Willensbildung. Sogenannte Verschwörungstheorien (conspiracy theories) erzeugen systematisches Misstrauen gegenüber den legitimierten politischen Institutionen und können zu gesellschaftlicher Polarisierung, gefährlichem Populismus und extremistischer Eskalierung beitragen. In Kinofilmen und Fernsehserien waren Verschwörungsideologien schon immer Thema, setzen sie sich doch durch ihre filmischen Mittel seit jeher mit der Beziehung zwischen Realität und Illusion, Wahrheit und Fiktion, Wirklichkeit und Traum, Sinn und Wahnsinn auseinander. Serien und Filme dienen dabei nicht nur als Diskursraum gesellschaftlicher Selbstverständigung, sondern unterbreiten auch durch ihre komplexen Narrative, Figurenkonstellationen und Ästhetiken eingängige Erklärungsansätze für das Entstehen und die Verbreitung von Verschwörungserzählungen. Zugleich unterbreiten sie dabei zum Teil erstaunlich konkrete Vorschläge zur Handhabung solcher kollektiver Wahnvorstellungen. Was können wir aus den fiktionalen Welten von Serien und Filmen für den Umgang mit diesem ganz realen Gegenwartsphänomen lernen?
Versified Prints
by W. Mcallister JohnsonThe term 'versified prints' is used to describe images that are accompanied by poetic explanatory text. They were immensely popular and diffused throughout Europe in the eighteenth century, and many were shown at the Salon du Louvre. Although not all print verses are signed, their authors include occasional poets and members of the Académie Française. These prints remain among the most accessible documents for the study of art and society, but have never been examined before for their historical and cultural context.With 112 full-page reproductions, Versified Prints offers an engaging and informative introduction to these intriguing works. W. McAllister Johnson's guide discusses print production, the nature of sources, and the relationship and transformations in both text and images. Proposing a typology and methodology for this artistic phenomenon, Versified Prints enhances our knowledge of this fascinating new area of research and lays the groundwork for future studies.

Vertical Urbanism: Designing Compact Cities in China (China Perspectives)
by Zhongjie Lin José L. GámezStudies of compact cities have evolved along with the rising awareness of climate change and sustainable development. Relevant debates, however, reveal that the prevailing definitions and practices of compact cities are tied primarily to traditional Western urban forms. This book reinterprets "compact city", and develops a ground-breaking discourse of "Vertical Urbanism", a concept that has never been critically articulated. It emphasizes "Vertical Urbanism" as a dynamic design strategy instead of a static form, distinguishing it from the stereotyped concept of "vertical city" or "towers in the park" dominant in China and elsewhere, and suggests its adaptability to different geographic and cultural contexts. Using Chinese cities as laboratories of investigation, this book explores the design, ecological, and sociocultural dimensions of building compact cities, and addresses important global urban issues through localized design solutions, such as the relationship between density and vitality, the integration of horizontal and vertical dimensions of design, and the ecological and social adaptability of combinatory mega-forms. In addition, through discussions with scholars from the United States, China, and Japan, this book provides an insight into the theoretical debates surrounding "compact city" and "Vertical Urbanism" in the global context. Scholars and students in architecture and urban planning will be attracted by this book. Also, it will appeal to readers with an interest in urban development and Asian studies.
Vertical: The City from Satellites to Bunkers
by Stephen GrahamA revolutionary reimagining of the cities we live in, the air above us, and what goes on in the earth beneath our feet Today we live in a world that can no longer be read as a two-dimensional map, but must now be understood as a series of vertical strata that reach from the satellites that encircle our planet to the tunnels deep within the ground. In Vertical, Stephen Graham rewrites the city at every level: how the geography of inequality, politics, and identity is determined in terms of above and below.Starting at the edge of earth's atmosphere and, in a series of riveting studies, descending through each layer, Graham explores the world of drones, the city from the viewpoint of an aerial bomber, the design of sidewalks and the hidden depths of underground bunkers. He asks: why was Dubai built to be seen from Google Earth? How do the super-rich in São Paulo live in their penthouses far above the street? Why do London billionaires build vast subterranean basements? And how do the technology of elevators and subversive urban explorers shape life on the surface and subsurface of the earth?Vertical will make you look at the world around you anew: this is a revolution in understanding your place in the world.From the Hardcover edition.

Vertigo: The Temptation of Identity
by Andrea CavallettiReading philosophy through the lens of Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo, Andrea Cavalletti shows why, for two centuries, major philosophers have come to think of vertigo as intrinsically part of philosophy itself.Fear of the void, terror of heights: everyone knows what acrophobia is, and many suffer from it. Before Freud, the so-called “sciences of the mind” reserved a place of honor for vertigo in the domain of mental pathologies. The fear of falling—which is also the fear of giving in to the temptation to let oneself fall—has long been understood as a destabilizing yet intoxicating element without which consciousness itself was inconceivable. Some went so far as to induce it in patients through frightening rotational therapies.In a less cruel but no less radical way, vertigo also staked its claim in philosophy. If Montaigne and Pascal could still consider it a perturbation of reason and a trick of the imagination which had to be subdued, subsequent thinkers stopped considering it an occasional imaginative instability to be overcome. It came, rather, to be seen as intrinsic to reason, such that identity manifests itself as tottering, kinetic, opaque and, indeed, vertiginous.Andrea Cavalletti’s stunning book sets this critique of stable consciousness beside one of Hitchcock’s most famous thrillers, a drama of identity and its abysses. Hitchcock’s brilliant combination of a dolly and a zoom to recreate the effect of falling describes that double movement of “pushing away and bringing closer” which is the habitual condition of the subject and of intersubjectivity. To reach myself, I must see myself from the bottom of the abyss, with the eyes of another. Only then does my “here” flee down there and, from there, attract me.From classical medicine and from the role of imagination in our biopolitical world to the very heart of philosophy, from Hollywood to Heidegger’s “being-toward-death,” Cavalletti brings out the vertiginous nature of identity.

Very Special Episodes: Televising Industrial and Social Change
by Jonathan Cohn Ron Becker Christine Becker David Scott Diffrient Brett Mills Jorie Lagerwey Mimi White Taylor Nygaard Reba Wissner Jennifer Porst Philip Scepanski Barbara Selznick Lindsay Giggey Erin Copple Smith Erin Giannini Apryl AlexanderVery Special Episodes examines how the quintessential “very special episode” format became a primary way in which the television industry responded to and shaped social change, cultural traumas, and industrial transformations. With essays covering shows ranging from the birth of Desi Arnaz, Jr. on I Love Lucy to contemporary examples such as a delayed episode of Black-ish and the streaming-era phenomenon of the “Very Special Seasons” of UnReal and 13 Reasons Why, this collection seriously and critically uses the “very special episode” to chart the history of American television and its self-identified status as an arbiter of culture.

Vestavia Hills
by Rebecca Cybulsky WaldenIn response to the explosive growth of industry in Birmingham, entrepreneurs and young families sought quieter areas to call home. The search led them to Shades Mountain, an area replete with flowering dogwood and pink honeysuckle--pure wilderness. There were no paved roads, no public services, and no merchants nearer than Homewood. Still, those seeking respite from the soot (of the steel mills) lingering over the "Magic City" persevered, establishing homesteads, stores, communities of worship, and basic public services. While the contributions of some of the area's early pioneers--men like Edgar S. Smyer, George Ward, and Charles Byrd--are well documented, Images of America: Vestavia Hills contains lesser-known stories of citizens who helped shape the "city on top of the mountain."
