Au risque d'un scandale (Un mystère signé Cole McGinnis)
by Rhys FordS&’être amouraché de Kim Jae-Min n&’est pas facile tous les jours, surtout avec la réserve de Jae sur une existence où il serait ouvertement homosexuel.

Il a une mission à accomplir. Scarlet, chanteuse de son état, réclame son aide pour retrouver Park Dae-Hoon, un homme gay qui a disparu depuis presque deux décennies. Cole se voit plonger dans le cercle délicat de la bourgeoisie coréenne, où les obligations et la politique demandent le sacrifie du bonheur personnel au profit de la sauvegarde d&’un empire financier. En peu de temps, les corps commencent sans suite logique à s&’empiler. À chaque avancée de Cole vers la localisation de Park Dae-Hoon, une nouvelle personne trouve la mort. À ce rythme, l&’un de ses proches pourrait bien être le suivant sur la liste du meurtrier.

Auction Theory: Introductory Exercises with Answer Keys (Springer Texts in Business and Economics)
by Felix Munoz-Garcia Pak-Sing ChoiThis textbook provides a short introduction to auction theory through exercises with detailed answer keys. Focusing on practical examples, this textbook offers over 98 exercises that predict bidders&’ equilibrium behaviour in different auction formats, along with the seller&’s strategic incentives to organize one auction format over the other. The book emphasizes game-theoretic tools, so students can apply similar tools to other auction formats. Also included are several exercises based on published articles, with the model reduced to its main elements and the question divided into several easy-to-answer parts. Little mathematical background in algebra and calculus is assumed, and most algebraic steps and simplifications are provided, making the text ideal for upper undergraduate and graduate students. The book begins with a discussion of second-price auctions, which can be studied without using calculus, and works through progressively more complicated auction scenarios: first-price auctions, all-pay auctions, third-price auctions, the Revenue Equivalence principle, common-value auctions, multi-unit auctions, and procurement auctions. Exercises in each chapter are ranked according to their difficulty, with a letter (A-C) next to the exercise title, which allows students to pace their studies accordingly. The authors also offer a list of suggested exercises for each chapter, for instructors teaching at varying levels: undergraduate, Masters, Ph.D. Revised and updated for the second edition, this textbook includes new and expanded exercises as well as a mathematical appendix to help students review basic math and statistical properties frequently used throughout the book. Providing a practical, customizable approach to auction theory, it is appropriate for students of economics, finance, and business administration. This book may also be used for related classes such as game theory, market design, economics of information, contract theory, or topics in microeconomics.

Audible Loss: New Music and the Crisis of Memory
by Andrea Zarafshon MooreAn innovative and much-needed critical work on music and memorialization in relation to AIDS, 9/11, and anti-Black violence in AmericaMusic has long served as a powerful medium for communal mourning and remembrance in times of crisis. Audible Loss examines musical responses to three major crises in US society at the turn of the twenty-first century: the AIDS epidemic, the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, and the ongoing conditions of anti-Black violence.Analyzing a range of works written to commemorate these losses, Andrea Zarafshon Moore explores how contemporary classical music (aka “new music”) frames and narrates these crises, gives voice to grief, imagines other possibilities, and makes loss audible. These crises are read alongside one another to reveal the ways they are mutually imbricated, while also recognizing the sheer commemorative dominance of 9/11 in this century. Attending to broader debates and discourses through which commemoration is always filtered and the ways interpretive consensus has been sought and articulated in both musical and other memorial forms, Moore probes the conventional claims of commemoration, particularly those for the necessity of remembrance to “healing” and the prevention of future crises.Audible Loss concludes by reflecting on the limits of existing commemorative forms and the possibility, even necessity, of new ones. Taking the COVID-19 pandemic as a case study, it proposes that while memorials of all kinds may provide outlets for collective remembrance and even mourning, their power to forge a sense of collectivity is diminished as public discourse grows more fragmented. Deeply informed yet highly approachable, Audible Loss is a major contribution to the fields of music and memory studies and essential reading for anyone interested in memory culture in the United States today.

Audiovisual Healing and Reparation: Recuperative Affect of Mediation (Routledge Research in Cultural and Media Studies)
by Özgür Çiçek Özlem SavaşAudiovisual Healing and Reparation gathers a collection of scholarly and creative voices that explore how audiovisual media can serve as a catalyst for healing, reparation, resilience, care and hope.The contributors critically engage with the audiovisual mediations of harsh histories and experiences of violence, discrimination, racism, sexism, colonialism, displacement, illness and death, all situated within diverse historical, geographical, social, and political contexts. Through a reparative approach to films, documentaries, digital and social media, and art, they examine how audiovisuality intervenes in and transforms trauma, rupture, loss and silence. This book examines audiovisual media as a rich aesthetic, social and political site for acknowledging wounds, seeking healing, and reparatively reimagining a broken world during troubling times. It argues for the recuperative affect of audiovisuality, which can unlock silenced or suppressed (personal) histories by integrating them into the fabric of mundane daily life. It analyses two major questions: What kind of recuperative potentials can emerge from audiovisual mediations of troubling times? How can we (re)imagine audiovisual mediums, narratives, aesthetics, and practices as reparative possibilities?This book will be of interest to scholars working in film and media studies, cultural studies, memory studies, performance studies, and affect studies and will also inspire practitioners of audiovisual media.

Audiovisuelle Diversität in Kinder- und Jugendmedien: Die Darstellung von Cartoon-Held:innen in der Animationsserie „She-Ra and the Princesses of Power“ (Medienbildung und Gesellschaft #54)
by Denis SasseAnimationsfilme und -serien bringen als audiovisuelle Erzähltexte eine kulturelle sowie gesellschaftliche Signifikanz mit sich - insbesondere im Hinblick auf die intendierte Zielgruppe von Kindern und Jugendlichen. Durch sie werden fiktionale Möglichkeitsräume präsentiert, in denen auf narrativer Ebene, durch Figurendarstellungen und symbolisches Material verschiedene Aspekte zur Selbstkonstitution, Selbstaktualisierung und Selbsterweiterung vermittelt werden. Dieses Buch untersucht aus medienpädagogischer Perspektive die Gestaltung audiovisueller Möglichkeitsräume und legt den Fokus auf die Animationsserie „She-Ra and the Princesses of Power&“, die zwischen 2018 und 2020 auf Netflix veröffentlicht worden ist. Es wird aufgezeigt, wie sich die Serie von der Reproduktion tradierter Zuschreibungen distanziert und anstelle einschränkender Rollen(vor)bildern vielfältige Identitätsentwürfe präsentiert: unterschiedliche sexuelle Orientierungen, variierende ethnische Zuschreibungen, diverse Körperbilder, Figuren mit psychischen Beeinträchtigungen und körperlichen Einschränkungen. Im Rahmen einer umfassenden filmanalytischen Untersuchung werden Handlung und Dramaturgie, die Figurenkonzeption sowie die im Erzähltext vermittelten Normen und Werte herausgearbeitet und aufgezeigt, wie jenseits stereotypisierender Reproduktionen und Restriktionen facettenreiche und divers gestaltete Frei- und Spielräume für individuelle Identitätsexplorationen eröffnet werden.

Audition: A Novel
by Katie Kitamura&“A tightly wound family drama that reads like a psychological thriller."—NPR&“Bold, stark, genre-bending, Audition will haunt your dreams.&”—The Boston GlobeOne woman, the performance of a lifetime. Or two. An exhilarating, destabilizing Möbius strip of a novel that asks whether we ever really know the people we love.Two people meet for lunch in a Manhattan restaurant. She&’s an accomplished actress in rehearsals for an upcoming premiere. He&’s attractive, troubling, young—young enough to be her son. Who is he to her, and who is she to him? In this compulsively readable, brilliantly constructed novel, two competing narratives unspool, rewriting our understanding of the roles we play every day – partner, parent, creator, muse – and the truths every performance masks, especially from those who think they know us most intimately. Taut and hypnotic, Audition is Katie Kitamura at her virtuosic best.
Audition: A Novel
by Pip AdamLonglisted for the 2025 Dublin Literary Award&“Profoundly anti-carceral, abundantly queer, and weird as f*ck, Audition will lead you to spine-tingling places if you are willing to navigate its corridors.&” —Casey Lucas, bad appleThe spaceship Audition is hurtling through the cosmos towards the event horizon. Squashed immobile into its largest room are three giants: Alba, Stanley, and Drew. If they talk, the spaceship keeps moving; if they are silent, they resume growing. So they talk, and as they do, Alba, Stanley, and Drew recover their shared memory of what has been done to their former selves—experiences of imprisonment, violence, and misrecognition, of disempowerment and underprivilege. Part science fiction, part social realism, Audition asks what happens when systems of power decide someone takes up too much room, and about how we live with each other&’s cruelties, imagine new forms of justice, and transcend the bodies and selves we are given.

Auerbach's Renaissance: Rebirths of an Aesthetic from Shakespeare to Ferrante
by Chris WarleyErich Auerbach's Mimesis is among the most admired works of literary criticism of the last hundred years. Amidst the horrors of the Second World War, Auerbach's prodigious learning managed – almost miraculously – to give voice to a delicate, subtle optimism. Focusing on Auerbach's account of Renaissance literature, Christopher Warley rediscovers the powerful beauty of Mimesis and shows its vitality for contemporary literary criticism. Analysing Auerbach's account of Renaissance love lyric alongside Woolf's To the Lighthouse, fifteenth-century Burgundian writing alongside Ferrante, and Shakespeare alongside Michelet, Ruskin and Burckhardt, Auerbach's Renaissance traces an aesthetic that celebrates the diversity of human life. Simultaneously it locates in Auerbach's reading of Renaissance writing a challenge to the pessimism of today, the sense that we live in an endless present where the future looms only as a threat. Auerbach's scholarship, the art he learns from Dante, Rabelais, Montaigne, and Shakespeare, is a Renaissance offering democratic possibility.

Aufgabenkatalog zum Arbeits- und Gesundheitsschutz: Unterstützung des Arbeitsschutzmanagements
by Joachim Schünemann Jörg HolzhäuserDie komplexen Vorschriften und Regelwerke enthalten vielfältige Vorgaben zum Arbeitsschutz. Jede Rechtsnorm enthält eine Sammlung von Straf- und Bußgeldvorschriften. Diese angedrohten Sanktionen sind in der jeweiligen Rechtsnorm relativ abstrakt dargestellt. Für die betroffenen Aufgabenträger in einer Betriebsorganisation ist damit in der täglichen Betriebspraxis ein Überblick zu den eigentlichen Pflichten nur schwer möglich. Der Ansatz dieses Buches ist betriebs- und organisationsfreundlich; auf der Grundlage der in den einschlägigen Gesetzen und den zugehörigen Verordnungen genannten Sanktionen wird eine Positivliste der Aufgaben abgeleitet. Der Nutzer erfährt, was er alles beachten muss, um Rechtsverstöße und damit verbundene Sanktionen zu vermeiden. Der Unternehmer soll erkennen, dass Aufgaben, Verantwortung und Kompetenz eine Einheit bilden und in der Betriebsorganisation hierarchisch von oben nach unten übertragen werden müssen.
Aufstiegschancen von Frauen: Eine Untersuchung der Karrierewege in der Unternehmensberatung
by Kim DedeDieses Open-Access-Buch beschäftigt sich mit den Einflüssen auf die Karrierewege von Frauen, die in der Beratungsbranche höhere Führungspositionen erreicht haben. Die Gleichberechtigung zwischen Männern und Frauen ist in Deutschland nach wie vor defizitär: Nur circa 12 % der höchsten Führungspositionen in Beratungsfirmen wurde 2023 von Frauen besetzt. Die Ergebnisse beruhen auf der Auswertung von zehn qualitativen Interviews mit Senior Managerinnen und Partnerinnen sowie einer Umfrage mit 555 Teilnehmerinnen aus der Branche. Die Studie bestätigt die bisherigen Erkenntnisse, dass das weibliche Geschlecht hinderlich für den Karriereweg in höhere Führungspositionen in der Beratungsbranche sein kann. Zu den Herausforderungen gehören gesellschaftlich geprägte Geschlechterstereotypen sowie die Erwartungen an Frauen bezüglich Care-Arbeit. Auf institutioneller Ebene zeigen sich Merkmale einer Male Gendered Organization, die Tokenism und die Rolleninkongruenz zwischen dem weiblichem Geschlecht und Führungspositionen verursachen. Auf Mikro-Ebene stehen Beraterinnen vor Herausforderungen bei der fairen Einschätzung ihrer Potenziale und Leistungen und damit unsichtbaren Bewertungsmaßstäben, die ihre Aufstiegschancen negativ beeinflussen.
