La Princesse de Clèves (BBC Radio 3: Drama on 3), Hörbuch, Digital, 73min
Madame de Lafayette's classic tale of intrigue and love, La Princesse de Clèves, was dramatised for BBC Radio 3 and originally broadcast in the Drama on 3 slot on 28 February 2010. Set in the 16th century, the play follows the life of a beautiful young lady newly presented to Court. It's the reign of Henri II, and Mary Queen of Scots is safely ensconced in France. It's a time of dangerous liaisons when one step out of line could ruin a woman and her family. Quickly married off, the naïve princess finds herself admired and taunted by those around her. And, whilst they gossip cruelly, she becomes helplessly and dangerously caught up in matters of love. Playfully adapted, this BBC Radio 3 dramatization offsets the princess’ painful conflict between duty and love with characters who delight in the wickedness of their world. La Princesse de Clèves stars Melody Grove as La Princesse, Candida Benson as her mother, and Liam Brennan as Clèves. Also featuring in the cast are Robin Laing, Laurie Brown, Meg Fraser, Irene MacDougall, Ralph Riach and Crawford Logan. Translated and dramatised by Jo Clifford and directed by Kirsty Williams. Language: English. Narrator: Melody Grove, Candida Benson, Liam Brennan. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/rt/bbcw/004496/rt_bbcw_004496_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.- Shop: Audible

Isa Genzken
A strikingly original analysis of Isa Genzken's move towards merging sculptural and architectural morphologies into the critique of commodity culture. Fuck the Bauhaus, made in the year 2000 out of quotidian objects and cheap materials foraged from New York City by the German artist Isa Genzken, marked a poetic and provocative departure from Genzken's earlier work. Since the 1970s, Genzken's "post-Minimalist" works had been like ruins in reverse, conjuring the haunting specters of recent catastrophe, destruction, and failure in the United States, while also playfully suggesting a degree of freedom and elevation. Analyzing how this mode gave way to a new penchant for appropriation, collage, and montage, André Rottmann offers a strikingly original analysis of Genzken's move towards merging sculptural and architectural morphologies into the critique of commodity culture. In this new addition to the One Work series, Rottmann draws on the writings of Deleuze and Guattari, Bruno Latour, and other contemporaneous theorists of "assemblage" to illuminate Genzken's work as a powerful reimagination of social relations in flux.- Shop: buecher

Entrepreneurship and the Creation of Organization (eBook, ePUB)
When re-imagining, re-thinking, and re-writing entrepreneurship in this book, the authors have come to the conclusion that the concept that describes it most precisely is one that signifies a process that includes imagining, seductively describing, playfully organizing, political agility in navigating common sense, and business sensibility before possible commerce. This book develops a process theory of entrepreneurship by exploring how key concepts in such a theory - affect, desire, assemblage - allow us to think about entrepreneurship differently. This makes a significant contribution to bridging the fields of entrepreneurship and organization studies. Using literature and literary characters and their stories as main sources, entrepreneurship research is here revitalized, and the result provides students of entrepreneurship processes with new conceptual opportunities. The book is also a contribution to a multi-disciplinary research tradition in social sciences more broadly where humanities is a key "conversation partner". Undergraduates in entrepreneurship, PhD students, and entrepreneurship and organization scholars will find this to be a refreshing renewal of research into entrepreneurship and the creation of organization.- Shop: buecher

Stepbrother Studs: Brian: A Stepbrother Romance , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 59min, (USK 18)
If you want it, you have to be a good girl and do what I say. Typical Brian. I laughed in spite of myself. "I'm always good." I looked up at him playfully, twirling a bit of my wet hair in my fingers. "I love my big brother. Let me show you how much." Jill's parents aren't home, it's the middle of the hottest summer on record, and there's a huge built-in swimming pool in the backyard. Well, what would you do? The only thing standing between her and the best party of the summer is her jerky older stepbrother, Brian. He says he's trying "protect" her, but he never lets her do anything fun! It looks like he's going to be a party-pooper this time too, until the perv decides to give her what she wants - with one caveat. Everyone who comes to the party has to come naked. Now the hottest party of the summer just got hotter, and Jill's about to find out that she's not too keen on the way all the other girls look at her sexy stepbrother. In fact, she's starting to look at him in an entirely different light herself.... ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Veronica Parker.
