Download or read book Medienkultur als kritische Gesellschaftsanalyse written by Matthias Wieser and published by Herbert von Halem Verlag. This book was released on 2021-01-21 with total page 722 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medienkultur als kritische Gesellschaftsanalyse steht für einen relationalen Ansatz, der kulturelle und mediale Praktiken als soziale Auseinandersetzungen erforscht. Im Zentrum der Diskussion stehen die sich daraus ergebenden Transformationen sowie ihre interdisziplinäre Verortung an der Schnittstelle zwischen Medien- und Kulturtheorie, Cultural Studies, Soziologie und Populärkulturforschung. Der Band versammelt Studien zu unterschiedlichen (medien-)kulturellen Phänomenen wie Filmen, Videos, Kunst, Games, Selfies, Shitstorms, Fake News, digitale Selbstvermessung sowie anderen populären, Jugend- und Subkulturen. Die theoretischen, methodologischen und empirischen Beiträge • befassen sich mit der Frage, was das transdisziplinäre Projekt der Cultural Studies zu leisten vermag angesichts aktueller gesellschaftspolitischer Entwicklungen wie z.B. Globalisierung und Populismus, • analysieren Filme und Populärkulturen als Seismografen gesellschaftlicher Transformationsprozesse, • fragen nach dem Eigensinn von Kultur und ihren sozialen Akteur*innen, • behandeln den Zusammenhang von soziokulturellen Dynamiken und gegenwärtigem Medienwandel (Digitalisierung, Datafizierung) und • diskutieren neue mediale Öffentlichkeiten und digitale Partizipationsformen. Damit würdigt der Band das Werk von Rainer Winter, das eine gesellschaftskritische Medien- und Kulturanalyse vertritt.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This rich automotive history will engage car buffs for hours of learning and diversion, for the book differs from most chronicles of the evolution of the horseless carriage by focusing on one particular, and fascinating, aspect: the styling of cars--their 'overall shape, ornamentation and resulting aura.'

Download or read book Lancia Rally Group B written by Sergio Remondino and published by Giorgio NADA Editore. This book was released on 2021-09-30 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Group B cars marked one of the most thrilling yet most tragic periods in the history of world rallying and beyond. The 037, the S4, the EVC and the ECV2, "ephemeral player" of a still-born Group S, were the unforgettable protagonists of the 1982-1986 seasons that for the Lancia marque were constellated by a series of World, European and Italian titles, but also by terrible accidents that cost the lives of Attilio Bettega, Henri Toivonen and Sergio Cresto. Sergio Remondino, a historic journalist and great expert in the multifaceted field of rallying, traces that unforgettable era, year by year, through a text rich in anecdotes and thanks to the contribution of the engineer Sergio Limone, one of the artificers of the Group B cars. This invaluable book is completed by the evocative images of Reinhard Klein, one of the most successful rallying photographers.

Download or read book Formula 1 Car by Car 1950 59 written by Peter Higham and published by Formula 1 CBC. This book was released on 2020-07-14 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The formative years of the 1950s are explored in this fourth installment of Evro's decade-by-decade series covering all Formula 1 cars and teams. When the World Championship was first held in 1950, red Italian cars predominated, from Alfa Romeo, Ferrari and Maserati, and continued to do so for much of the period. But by the time the decade closed, green British cars were in their ascendancy, first Vanwall and then rear-engined Cooper playing the starring roles, and BRM and Lotus having walk-on parts. As for drivers, one stood out above the others, Argentine Juan Manuel Fangio, becoming World Champion five times. Much of the fascination of this era also lies in its numerous privateers and also-rans, all of which receive their due coverage in this complete work. Year-by-year treatment covers each season in fascinating depth, running through the teams -- and their various cars -- in order of importance. Alfa Romeo's supercharged 11⁄2-litre cars dominated the first two years, with titles won by Giuseppe Farina (1950) and Fangio (1951). The new marque of Ferrari steamrollered the opposition in two seasons run to Formula 2 rules (1952-53), Alberto Ascari becoming champion both times, and the same manufacturer took two more crowns with Fangio (1956) and Mike Hawthorn (1958). Maserati's fabulous 250F, the decade's most significant racing car, propelled Fangio to two more of his five championships (1954 and 1957). German manufacturer Mercedes-Benz stepped briefly into Formula 1 (1954-55) and won almost everything with Fangio and up-and-coming Stirling Moss. Green finally beat red when the Vanwalls, driven by Moss and Tony Brooks, won the inaugural constructors' title (1958). Then along came Cooper, rear-engine pioneers, to signpost Formula 1's future when Jack Brabham became World Champion (1959).

Download or read book Ultimate Ferrari 250 GTO written by James Page and published by . This book was released on 2021-06 with total page 632 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ultimate Ferrari GTO explores the story of this iconic family of cars in more detail and with more authority than ever before. Introduced in 1962 as the final evolutionary step in the long-running 250 GT series, the GTO was the last and best GT racer of the front-engine era. It remained at the forefront for three seasons, winning a hat-trick of World Championship titles for Ferrari. Ever since, GTOs have retained their exalted status not just because of their racing achievements but also their exquisite beauty, undoubted charisma and -- for those lucky enough to have experienced this -- peerless driveability. Indeed, the GTO's illustrative reputation has made it the world's most desirable car, as confirmed by the record-breaking prices repeatedly paid for the finest examples. Packed with superb photographs, many not previously published, this lavish two-volume production does true justice to this ultimate car.
