| laura karasek: Pretty Happy Nena Schink, Vivien Wulf, 2021-03-05 Die wenigsten Frauen sind mit ihrem Äußeren zufrieden. Der Grund: Von klein auf wird ihnen suggeriert, dass Schönheit glücklich macht. Dabei fühlen sie sich in der Regel immer unglücklicher. Denn die Annahme Schönheit = Glück geht nicht auf und lähmt nicht nur in privater, sondern auch in beruflicher Hinsicht die eigene Entwicklung. Spiegel-Bestsellerautorin Nena Schink und Schauspielerin Vivien Wulf ist dieses Gefühl wohlbekannt. Sie haben den Glaubenssatz lange gelebt, ohne ihn zu hinterfragen. In ihrem Buch ermutigen sie Frauen, aus dieser Denkfalle auszubrechen und zeigen durch die Offenbarung ihrer eigenen Unsicherheiten, wie der Drang nach Schönheit mit dem Sein verknüpft ist und warum die Zeit reif ist, etwas dagegen zu unternehmen. Denn eines ist sicher: Wir schulden niemandem Schönheit! Fünf Kilo weniger machen nicht glücklicher und mehr Make-up führt nicht zu größerer Happiness. In ihrem Buch erforschen die beiden Autorinnen gemeinsam mit ihrer Leserin, was wirklich glücklich macht. PRETTY HAPPY ist eine großartige Liebeserklärung – an die Freiheit, Freundschaft und Selbstliebe. |
| laura karasek: Untaming Girlhoods Cristina Santos, 2023-03-31 This is an interdisciplinary examination of depictions of girlhoods through a comparative study of foundational fairy tales revised and reimagined in popular narrative, film, and television adaptations. The success of franchises such as The Hunger Games, Twilight and Divergence have re-presented the young heroine as an empowered female, and often a warrior hero in her own right. Through a selection of popular culture touchstones this empowerment is questioned as a manipulation of feminist ideals of equality and a continuation of the traditional vision of female awakening centering on issues of personal choice, agency, physical violence, purity, and beauty. By investigating re-occurring storytelling frameworks and archetypes, Untaming Girlhoods examines different portrayals of girlhoods in the 20th- and 21st-century Anglo-American cultural imaginary that configure modern girlhoods, beyond the fairy-tale princess or the damsel in distress, into refigurations that venture away from the well-trodden path for a new breakaway path to authentic selfhood. This will be a useful and enlightening text for students and researchers in Girlhood Studies, Gender Studies, Film Studies, Popular Culture and Media Studies. |
| laura karasek: Medien Frauen Macht Nadja Sarwat, 2019-08-12 Wer in den Medien präsent ist, bestimmt, wie wir die Welt sehen. Immer öfter sind Frauen die Machtfaktoren im Newsroom. Nadja Sarwat führte Interviews mit Medienfrauen aus Österreich und Deutschland (u.a. Susanne Beyer, Conny Bischofberger, Sabine Derflinger, Laura Karasek, Arabella Kiesbauer, Corinna Milborn, Armgard Seegers, Nana Siebert).

| laura karasek: Feministisch lesen Katja Kauer, 2024-10-14 Literatur, nicht nur die klassische, sondern sehr augenscheinlich auch die der Gegenwart, zeichnet ein buntes Bild von Geschlecht, das mit den herkömmlichen, patriarchalisch geprägten ,Lektürebrillen' nicht richtig erfasst werden kann. Obwohl die Gender Studies im akademischen Diskurs inzwischen eine wichtige Rolle spielen, hinkt eine praktisch orientierte Genderanalyse dem theoretischen Diskurs hinterher. Dieses Studienbuch zeigt anschaulich, wie hilfreich Gender Studies für die literaturwissenschaftliche Auseinandersetzung mit einzelnen Texten sein können, und nimmt Fragen in den Blick, die die Literatur in Bezug auf geschlechtlich basierte Anerkennungsprozesse stellt. Im Zentrum stehen praktische Lektüretools, die an konkreten gegenwartskulturellen Textbeispielen vorgestellt werden. Sie machen Bedeutungsebenen der Texte sichtbar, die sonst verborgen bleiben, und helfen, scheinbare Aporien und Widersprüche in der Figurierung zu erklären. Das Buch ist die erste Monografie im germanistischen Bereich, die diese Art von Lektüretools entwickelt. |

| laura karasek: Die Farbe der Sterne Curtis Briggs, Stefan Lukschy, 2024-07-06 Geld oder Liebe? Original oder Fälschung? Wandel oder Tradition? Gipfelstürmerei oder Höhenangst? Um all dies und noch viel mehr geht es in dieser turbulenten, romantischen Krimi-Komödie. Leo Sailer erbt ein marodes Grand Hotel am Kochelsee.

Leo und Julia geraten in einen Strudel von emotionalen, kriminellen und komödiantischen Verwicklungen, in die Immobilienhaie, Klein- und Groß-Kriminelle, eine hoffnungslos überforderte Polizei sowie ein intellektueller Marder entscheidend eingreifen ... Die Farbe der Sterne ist ein Mix aus Krimi, romantischer Liebesgeschichte und Komödie, der Spannung und Lachen perfekt kombiniert. |

Im freien Fall befindet sich auch Prometheus nach dem Tod seines besten Freundes. Wir treffen ihn, als er nach einer überstürzten Flucht vor Polizei, Familie und sich selbst am dänischen Strand aufschlägt. Der Mauersegler erzählt von einem Mann, der unter seiner Schuld zu zerbrechen droht. Und von zwei Frauen, die wenig Fragen stellen - wie alle Menschen, die ihre eigenen Geheimnisse haben. |

Die Lösungen Michael Nast, 2021-02-05 Michael Nast, seit seinem Nr.-1-Bestseller das Sprachrohr für die Generation Beziehungsunfähig, hat neue Nachrichten für seine Leserschaft: Den Traumpartner unserer Vorstellungen, der unseren mannigfaltigen Anforderungen entspricht, gibt es nicht! Die Gründe für das ständige Scheitern unserer Dates und Beziehungen sind unsere falschen Idealvorstellungen, gepaart mit dem eigenen Selbstoptimierungswahn und unserer Darstellungswut in den sozialen Medien.

In seinem neuen Buch Generation Beziehungsunfähig: Die Lösungen zeigt der Berliner, wie wir unser Verhalten ändern können – denn wir selbst ziehen uns die Nieten an Land. Um das zu vermeiden, müssen wir an uns arbeiten – aber eben nicht im Sinne der selbstdarstellerischen Selbstoptimierung! Sondern, indem wir uns selbst besser kennenlernen und verstehen. Michael Nast zeigt seinen Lesern und Leserinnen, dass sie mit ihren Problemen einen Partner zu finden nicht allein sind – und was Lösungswege aus dem Dilemma sein können. |

| laura karasek: Glückwunsch zum Baby, Sie sind gefeuert! Sandra Runge, Karline Wenzel, 2022-09-06 Kündigungen nach der Elternzeit, weniger Gehalt beim Wiedereinstieg, abwertende Bemerkungen bei Fehlzeiten aufgrund eines kranken Kindes – solche Fälle häufen sich laut der Antidiskriminierungsstelle des Bundes. Und das, obwohl zwanzig Millionen Eltern in Deutschland durch ihre Sorgearbeit den Grundstein für die langfristige Weiterentwicklung unserer Gesellschaft legen. Die Wertschätzung, die Eltern zukommen sollte, spiegelt sich derzeit nicht in den gesetzlichen Vorgaben wider. Vereinbarkeit von Familie und Beruf wird meistens so verstanden, dass Eltern möglichst viel arbeiten können. Die Frage sollte aber eigentlich lauten: Welche gesetzlichen Rahmenbedingungen brauchen berufstätige Menschen, um Kinder zu bekommen? Die Autorinnen Sandra Runge und Karline Wenzel haben es sich zur Aufgabe gemacht, dass Elternschaft als Diskriminierungsmerkmal in das Allgemeine Gleichstellungsgestetz aufgenommen wird. Mit ihrer Initiative #proparents haben sie große mediale Aufmerksamkeit erlangt und viele prominente Unterstützer*innen gewonnen. Ihr Buch skizziert anhand von Fallbeispielen die Vielzahl der Benachteiligungen und gibt Eltern Tipps, wie sie sich gegen Diskriminierung im Beruf wehren können. Darüber hinaus zeigen sie Wege auf, wie Betriebe elternfreundlicher werden können und formulieren konkrete Forderungen an die Politik. |
| laura karasek: Schwarz auf Grün! Caroline Bosbach, Torsten Weber, 2021-07-15 Eine junge Frau hat klare Vorstellungen von einer bürgerlichen Mitte. Ihr Credo: Es muss mehr Schwarz auf das Grün. Denn grüne Ideen blind umzusetzen, lässt die Menschen mit offenen Fragen und Befürchtungen zurück. Schwarz auf Grün ist eine packende Serie in Buchform. Erzählt wird, wie eine politisch engagierte junge Frau, Caroline Bosbach, die Idee einer zukunftsfähigen Republik umsetzen und Wähler gegen ausgeprägte Widerstände gewinnen will. Wir erleben sie in kontroversen Debatten (Wollen Sie uns jetzt auch noch das Fleisch wegnehmen!? oder Wie sicher sind wir eigentlich noch!?) und im intensiven Austausch mit Wissenschaftlern und Forschern. Unterstützt wird sie vom Kölner Nachhaltigkeitsprofessor Torsten Weber, der Meinungen sichtet, Fakten einordnet und den Blick auf die Zukunft richtet. Beide blicken auf Missstände und Herausforderungen – und entwerfen Ideen für eine moderne Republik. Aus dem Off sendet Radio Future kleine Features und Reportagen aus dem Jahr 2030. Schwarz auf Grün zeigt, was die Menschen dieses Landes heute bewegt. Welche Sorgen, Nöte und Hoffnungen ihnen wirklich auf den Nägeln brennen. Nicht zuletzt zeigt Schwarz auf Grün, wie die Politiktradition innerhalb einer Familie fortgeführt und erneuert wird. Denn Wolfgang Bosbach, Carolines Vater und das konservative Gewissen der CDU, spielt in dieser schwarz-grünen Serie ebenfalls eine Rolle. |

| laura karasek: New Ways of Organizing Work Clare Kelliher, Julia Richardson, 2011-10-06 New Ways of Organizing Work offers a broader understanding of changes to the way work is organized and the implications for relevant stakeholders. It brings together contributions from a well established group of international scholars to examine the nature and consequences of new ways of working. The book draws on studies of a variety of new forms of work, involving a diverse range of employees and drawing on experiences in a variety of countries. It includes three main empirical sections. The first focuses on different forms of work and working arrangements, stimulated by the use of technology, increased competitive pressure and media portrayal of work and working. In contrast to much other work in the field, a strong theme of this book is individuals’ experiences of new ways of working. The second empirical section examines this theme with a specific focus on remote workers and their responses to new ways of working. Exploring contemporary trends towards increasing use of global teams, the third section examines the implications of distributed teams and the challenges for managing performance and knowledge transfer. |

| laura karasek: Asking for It Kate Harding, 2015-08-25 In the era of #metoo, a clear-eyed, sharp look at rape culture, sexual assault, harassment and violence against women--and what we can do about it. A timely and brilliant book. (Jessica Valenti) Every seven minutes, someone in America commits a rape. And whether that's a football star, beloved celebrity, elected official, member of the clergy, or just an average Joe (or Joanna), there's probably a community eager to make excuses for that person. In Asking for It, Kate Harding combines in-depth research with a frank, no-holds-barred voice to make the case that twenty-first-century America supports rapists more effectively than it supports victims. From institutional failures in higher education to real-world examples of rape culture, Harding offers ideas and suggestions for how we, as a society, can take sexual violence much more seriously without compromising the rights of the accused. |
| laura karasek: Women in Chinese Martial Arts Films of the New Millennium Ya-chen Chen, 2012-04-12 Women and Gender in Chinese Martial Arts Films of the New Millennium, by Ya-chen Chen, is an excavation of underexposed gender issues focusing mainly on contradictory and troubled feminism in the film narratives. In the cinematic world of martial arts films, one can easily find representations of women of Ancient China released from the constraints of patriarchal social order to revel in a dreamlike space of their own. They can develop themselves, protect themselves, and even defeat or conquer men. This world not only frees women from the convention of foot-binding, but it also unbinds them in terms of education, critical thinking, talent, ambition, opportunities to socialize with different men, and the freedom or right to both choose their spouse and decide their own fate. Chen calls this phenomenon Chinese cinematic martial arts feminism. The liberation is never sustaining or complete, however; Chen reveals the presence of a glass ceiling marking the maximal exercise of feminism and women's rights which the patriarchal order is willing to accept. As such, these films are not to be seen as celebrations of feminist liberation, but as enunciations of the patriarchal authority that suffuses Chinese cinematic martial arts feminism. The film narratives under examination include Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (directed by Ang Lee); Hero (Zhang Yimou); House of the Flying Daggers (Zhang Yimou); Seven Swords (Tsui Hark); The Promise (Chen Kaige); The Banquet (Feng Xiaogang); and Curst of the Golden Flower (Zhang Yimou). Chen also touches upon the plots of two of the earliest award-winning Chinese martial arts films, A Touch of Zen and Legend of the Mountain, both directed by King Hu. |

Brown, 2010 The second edition of A Handbook for the Study of Mental Health provides a comprehensive review of the sociology of mental health. Chapters by leading scholars and researchers present an overview of historical, social and institutional frameworks. Part I examines social factors that shape psychiatric diagnosis and the measurement of mental health and illness, theories that explain the definition and treatment of mental disorders and cultural variability. Part II investigates effects of social context, considering class, gender, race and age, and the critical role played by stress, marriage, work and social support. Part III focuses on the organization, delivery and evaluation of mental health services, including the criminalization of mental illness, the challenges posed by HIV, and the importance of stigma. This is a key research reference source that will be useful to both undergraduates and graduate students studying mental health and illness from any number of disciplines. |
