Modern Lusts

Ernest Borneman: Jazz Critic, Filmmaker, Sexologist

By: Detlef Siegfried

As a jazz musician, filmmaker, anthropologist, sexologist, and crime novelist, the boundlessly curious German autodidact Ernest Borneman exemplified the conflicting cultural and intellectual currents of the twentieth century. In this long-awaited English translation, acclaimed historian Detlef Siegfried chronicles Borneman’s journey from a young Jewish Communist in Nazi Berlin to his emergence as a celebrated (and reliably controversial) transatlantic polymath. Through an innovative structure organized around the human senses, this biography memorably portrays a figure whose far-flung obsessions comprised a microcosm of postwar intellectual life.

The Bit and the Pendulum

From Quantum Computing to M Theory--The New Physics of Information

Funny, clear, deep, and right on target. [Siegfried] lets us get a handle on ideas that are essential for understanding the evolving world." -K. C. Cole, author of The Universe and the Teacup "An eager, ambitious book. A stimulating, accessible introduction to scientific theory." -Dallas Morning News An award-winning journalist surveys the horizon of a new revolution in science Everything in the universe, from the molecules in our bodies to the heart of a black hole, is made up of bits of information. This is the radical idea at the center of the new physics of information, and it is leading to exciting breakthroughs in a vast range of science, including the invention of a new kind of quantum computer, millions of times faster than any computer today.

Audiovisions

Cinema and Television as Entr'actes in History

By: Siegfried Zielinski

De productie, de distributie, en de waarneming van bewegende beelden zijn onderhevig aan een radicale transformatie. Doordat steeds snellere computers en digitale technologie kracht bundelen, ontstaat er een nieuwe vorm van 'audiovisie'. Bijna niets zal hetzelfde blijven. De ooit 'normale' media voor het uitdragen van film - de bioscoop en de televisie - blijken niet meer te zijn dan een intermezzo in de geschiedenis van de audiovisuele media. Dit boek interpreteert de veranderingen niet als cultureel verlies maar als een uitdaging: de nieuwe 'audiovisie' moet anders benaderd worden om strategische interventie mogelijk te maken. 'Audiovisions' ondersteunt deze benadering op historische wijze. Door te kijken naar 100 jaar, van het eind van de negentiende tot aan het eind van de 20ste eeuw, laat het zien waarom de bioscoop en televisie als eindige, culturele vormen gezien moeten worden. Tevens is het boek een pleidooi voor ' blijvend kracht' van studies naar culturele technologie en de technologische cultuur van film. Essayistisch in stijl, is het boek gestructureerd rond verschillende historische fasen. De beelden en bij de tekst zorgen voor supplementaire informatie, contrast, en aanvullend commentaar.

Astronomy and Astrophysics Abstracts. which appears in semi-annual volumes, is devoted to the re cording, summarizing and indexing of astronomical publications throughout the world. It is prepared under the auspices of the International Astronomical Union (according to a resolution adopted at the 14th General Assembly in 1970).

Variations on Media Thinking

By: Siegfried Zielinski

A diverse, enriching volume of media analysis from a pioneering thinker in the field Expanding on Siegfried Zielinski’s groundbreaking inquiry into “deep time” of the media, the essays in Variations on Media Thinking further the eminent media theorist’s unique method of expanded hermeneutics, which means for him interpreting technical artifacts as essential parts of our cultural lives. Covering such topics as the televisualized “Holocaust,” the ubiquity of media today, the Internet, the genealogy of sound art, and history’s first hacker movement, these essays further diversify Zielinski’s insight into the hidden layers of media development, which he first articulated in his pioneering work Deep Time of the Media. Including many previously untranslated and scarce essays, these “written time machines” open new lines of investigation for cultural scholars. From the automata of the Arabic-Islamic Renaissance (800–1200) to the largest and loudest techno-event ever, known as The Symphony of Sirens—which transformed Baku in 1922 into an immense music box of modern noise—Variations on Media Thinking covers Zielinski’s inquiries since 1975. Richly illustrated and full of provocation, brilliant insight, and fascinating research, this volume is perfect for students of media archaeology, philosophy, and technology, as well as any adventurous, rigorous thinkers engaged with culture and media.

Knowledge Transfer in Service Research

Service Engineering in Startup Companies

By: Patrick Siegfried

Due to the influence of economic changes, young SMEs which are at the corporate identification stage of development must pay particular attention to general conditions such as the micro and macro environment. These often difficult starting points and problem situations make adjustment processes essential as there is freedom to act and the pursued strategies need to be reconsidered. Priority for all young SMEs is stable, sustainable and healthy growth. Therefore, it is a key management task to deal with the definition, planning, and implementation of strategies. The objective of this thesis was to generate practical knowledge for young SMEs in the area of strategic corporate planning and service engineering and establish a workable and applicable phase approach for management. The research results were systematized and evaluated to an action plan for a solution of the problem. The applications of the different instruments have been evaluated for their practicability using primary research in 17 multiple case studies over a two-year period. The evaluations of these case studies highlight the applicability of instruments in young SMEs. Based on these results, consequences were derived and future strategic challenges were pointed out.
