  4. Sébastien Tremblay on The Pink Triangle

    Sébastien Tremblay on The Pink Triangle

    In this Book Talk Dr. Tremblay tells us what personal situations during his early academic career made him consider writing about the Pink Triangle in the first place and how looking at the topic in global and transregional perspective helped shape his research and understanding of history. In the following discussion he and the series editors Dr. Sabrina Mittermeier and Dr. Bodie Ashton discuss looking at history through a “queer lens”, and how being mindful of language and heritage is a chance and problem for historical researchers on a global scale. The book "A Badge of Injury. The Pink Triangle as Global Symbol of Memory" analyses gay and lesbian transregional cultural communication networks from the 1970s to the 2000s, focusing on the importance of National Socialism, visual culture, and memory in the queer Atlantic. Provincializing Euro-American queer history, it illustrates how a history of concepts which encompasses the visual offers a greater depth of analysis of the transfer of ideas across regions than texts alone would offer. It also underlines how gay and lesbian history needs to be reframed under a queer lens and understood in a global perspective. A Badge of Injury pinpoints the roles of cultural memory and power in the creation of gay and lesbian transregional narrativ. ► Link to the book ► Contact us

    Podcasts & Geisteswissenschaften: A match made in Heaven?

    Ruhig statt hektisch, lang statt kurz, wort- statt bildlastig, langsam statt schnell, diskursiv statt plakativ: Podcasts sind das ideale Format, um geisteswissenschaftliche Fragen und Thesen zeitgemäß zu kommunizieren — aber wie?! Podcast-Macher*innen aus den Geisteswissenschaften sehen sich einer Reihe ähnlicher Herausforderungen gegenüber: Der Podcast-Markt ist übersättigt. Die Aufwände sind hoch, die Produktion erfordert vielfältiges Know-How. Denn Podcasting ist deutlich mehr, als einfach nur zwei Leute vor ein Mikrofon zu setzen. Und: Selbst der beste Podcast will vermarktet werden und braucht oft einen langen Atem, um sein Publikum zu finden. Zum Abschluss der ersten Staffel unseres Wissenschaftspodcasts WAGNIS WISSEN haben wir mit drei Expertinnen zu diesem Thema diskutiert. Auf dem Podium sprachen: - Isabel Woop - Head of Production, ACB Stories - Dr. Kristiane Hasselmann - Geschäftsführerin Sonderforschungsbereich Episteme in Bewegung, Produzentin Wissenschaftspodcast Hinter den Dingen - Franziska Walser - Journalistin, Moderatorin, Podcastentwicklerin, EINS.STUDIO, rbb, ARD Die Aufzeichnung ist Teil des rbb Medienmagazins vom 26.02.2024 (Autor: Philipp Nitzsche). Die komplette Sendung ist hier zu hören.

  7. David Lingelbach & Valentina Rodríguez on Oligarchs: Fusing Wealth and Power

    David Lingelbach & Valentina Rodríguez on Oligarchs: Fusing Wealth and Power

    Today, more than twenty oligarchs serve as heads of state or government in countries such as Russia, South Africa, Lebanon and El Salvador. Many have a net worth in excess of $1 billion, and they all – whether directly or indirectly – impact our daily lives.   Who are the oligarchs and how have they come to dominate our world? What difference does gender make? Is there something “good” to be found in them, or are they just “bad”? And what is it like to interview an oligarch and glimpse their human side? In this book talk, the authors of The Oligarchs’ Grip: Fusing Wealth and Power talk to Stefan Giesen, Editorial Director Business & Economics at De Gruyter. Entrepreneurship expert David Lingelbach and oligarch researcher Valentina Rodríguez Guerra draw upon more than 25 years of research (including conversations with Vladimir Putin and other oligarchs), 16 case studies, and dozens of historical examples in The Oligarchs’ Grip. They develop the first-ever model that reveals the strategies employed by oligarchs to fuse wealth and power and transition between the two.  David Lingelbach is Professor of Entrepreneurship at the Merrick School of Business, University of Baltimore. He was educated at MIT, London School of Economics and Political Science, and the University of Exeter, where he earned his Ph.D. Prior to becoming an academic, David served in senior roles in finance and international development, including as CEO of Bank of America’s businesses in the former Soviet Union. He was a Fulbright Scholar (Myanmar/Burma, 2018-19) and Fulbright Specialist (Colombia, 2021) and has been nominated twice for an Andrew Carnegie Fellowship.  Valentina Rodríguez Guerra is an author, oligarch researcher, and graduate student in business administration, Facultad de Ciencias Económicas, Universidad Nacional de Colombia. She has received awards for her work from NASA and the Colombian Ministry of Education.   Together, they are regular opinion contributors to The Hill on Vladimir Putin and other oligarchs.     Link to the book ► https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1515/9783111028255/html Contact us ► https://www.degruyter.com/publishing/about-us/contact?lang=en FOLLOW US ► Website: https://www.degruyter.com/ ► Blog: https://blog.degruyter.com/ ► Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/degruyter.publishers ► LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/de-gruyter ► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/degruyter_official ► Twitter: https://twitter.com/degruyter_pub ► YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/DegruyterPublishers ► SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/user-869529439 #DeGruyter #oligarch #oligarchy

  8. Modern Languages: Remapping a Shifting Landscape

    Modern Languages: Remapping a Shifting Landscape

    How do we produce knowledge? How do we present it? How can we better understand our societies, past and present? And, ultimately, what is it that makes us us? The study of Modern Languages tackles nothing short of these fundamental questions, exploring the very foundations of what it means to be human. Moreover, the field is inherently dynamic. Artificial Intelligence tools, such as ChatGPT, have rapidly changed our perspective on language as something uniquely human. Social media have created new ways of reading and consuming information. Concurrently, emerging forms of scholarship are reshaping the way we approach Modern Languages. We wanted to learn more about the discipline in an ever-changing and increasingly digital world, so we sat down with Professors Andy Byford and Claudia Nitschke from Durham University, UK. Andy Byford holds the position of Professor of Russian Studies, while Claudia Nitschke is a Professor of German at Durham’s School of Modern Languages and Cultures. Both have authored numerous publications and are serving as editors of the upcoming “Handbook of Modern Languages”, to be published by De Gruyter in 2024. Alexandra Koronkai-Kiss, Editorial Communications Manager at De Gruyter, conducted the interview, which is also available as a video and podcast.
