Summary : "Familie gewinnt" lautet das Resümee dieses Buches. Es ist der Fortsetzungsband von "Familie bringt Gewinn", dem Gründungsmanifest der von der Bertelsmann Stiftung und dem Bundesministerium für Familie, Senioren, Frauen und Jugend initiierten "Allianz für die Familie". Angetreten ist die Allianz im Jahr 2003 als ein deutliches Bekenntnis starker gesellschaftlicher Akteure zur Familie und ihren Werten. Dieser Band bilanziert ihre Wirkungen für Unternehmen und Gesellschaft während der letzten vier Jahre. Prominente Partnerinnen und Partner der Allianz präsentieren hier ihr aktives Engagement: für mehr Familienfreundlichkeit in der Arbeitswelt, für zufriedenere Eltern und glücklichere Kinder in unserem Land. Renommierte Vordenker wie der Soziologe Hans Bertram, der Zeithistoriker Paul Nolte und der Publizist Warnfried Dettling stellen einführend dar, wie sich die Bedürfnisse von Familien im historischen Überblick verändern. Um diesen neuen Lebensrealitäten im 21. Jahrhundert gerecht zu werden, ist eine politische Gesamtstrategie erforderlich. Fachleute aus der Praxis zeigen die vielfältigen Möglichkeiten auf, Familienfreundlichkeit im Alltag umzusetzen. Edeltraut Glänzer, Mitglied im Hauptvorstand der IG BCE, Gisela Erler, Gründerin und Geschäftsführerin der pme Familienservice GmbH, oder Ludwig Georg Braun, Präsident des DIHK, weisen gangbare Wege und nennen gute Beispiele dafür, wie die Vereinbarkeit von Familie und Beruf besser gelingen kann. Eines wird in allen Beiträgen deutlich: Wir sind auf dem richtigen Weg.

Summary : "You always saw the world as your workplace." In 2009, this was how Reinhard Mohn--the man who turned Bertelsmann AG from an unremarkable, postwar German business into a successful, international media conglomerate--described the professional dedication of his wife, Liz Mohn. Born into a seemingly hopeless world, this girl from Wiedenbrück, Germany, grew into a proactive woman who, following her late husband's death, now represents the fifth generation of Bertelsmann's ownership. She sits on the company's supervisory board, where for decades she has brought unconventional ideas to a traditional media empire, and she also serves as vice chairwoman of the Bertelsmann Foundation's executive board. In her new book, Key Moments, Mohn tells her remarkable personal history, recalling with great candor the difficult early years in Gütersloh and how she grew into her role at the side of her influential husband. She met challenges with curiosity and a desire to learn from her mistakes. Through it all, she followed her life's motto: Try it. You can do it. An active philanthropist, Mohn highlights the importance of every individual being accountable to a greater good while appealing to the social responsibility of the political and economic sectors as well. She makes the case that each of us is called to contribute his or her part toward creating a successful future. This, of course, is what Liz Mohn has done all of her life. In light of her efforts and successes, she is often asked, "How do you do it all?" Key Moments gives readers a fascinating insight into the answer.

Summary : The increased use of digital tools for political activism has triggered heated debates about the effectiveness of digital campaigns for political change and feminist causes. While technology’s immediacy and transnational reach have broadened the potential impact of activism, it has, at the same time, complicated the goals, materiality, and consumption of feminist actions. In Awkward Politics, Carrie Smith-Prei and Maria Stehle suggest that awkwardness offers a means of engaging with twenty-first century feminist activism by accounting for the uncertainty of popfeminist moments and movements, its sometimes illegible meanings, affects, and aesthetics. By investigating transnational media ranging from popfeminist performance art, music, street activism, blogs, and hashtags to literature, film, academic theory, and protests, the authors demonstrate that viewing activist art through the lens of awkwardness can yield a nuanced critique. By developing awkwardness into a theoretical tool for intervention, a key concept of feminist politics, and a moving target, this innovative study dramatically alters the ways in which we approach activism, its forms, movements, and effects. It also suggests a broad range of applicability, from social movements to the academy. Breaking new ground through the intersections of technology, consumerism, and the political in popfeminist work, Awkward Politics highlights the urgency of feminist politics and activism.

Summary : The relative rise or decline of feminist movements across the globe has been debated by feminist scholars and activists for a long time. In recent years, however, these debates have gained renewed momentum. Rapid technological change and increased use of digital media have raised questions about how digital technologies change, influence, and shape feminist politics. This book interrogates the digital interface of transnational protest movements and local activism in feminist politics. Examining how global feminist politics is articulated at the nexus of the transnational/national, we take contemporary German protest culture as a case study for the manner in which transnational feminist activism intersects with the national configuration of feminist political work. The book explores how movements and actions from outside Germany’s borders circulate digitally and resonate differently in new local contexts, and further, how these border-crossings transform grass-roots activism as it goes digital. This book was originally published as a special issue of Feminist Media Studies.

Summary : What is it like to be young and religious in migration society? This volume presents research at the intersection of religion, age and race. The chapters' foci range from methodological challenges to conceptual work and empirical case studies. The authors present research on various religious traditions including contributions on young Alevis, Hindus, Buddhists and Muslims, and apply an array of theoretical angles among them feminist, post- and de-colonial perspectives. Furthermore, the volume engages in the debate over novel conceptual frameworks attuned to investigate contemporary manifestations of youth religiosity, for example in digital spaces. The methodological chapters advocate for reflexivity in the context of empirical research on religion in migration society and promote a self-evaluative assessment of researchers' positionalities.
