This is a true story of a dramatic, failed murder case launched by Margate Detectives in Kent, Thanet in 1993. The police blatantly, decided to ignore so much vital and interesting sea-side evidence. They never thought anyone at court would be able to defy their account of 'circumstantial evidence' against the accused.

What is Transmedia? The Transmedia Cultures companion demonstrates that transmedia, and indeed transmedia storytelling, are fundamental to the human experience of being in the world and creating the stories of who we are, both as individuals and communities. Transmedia is not just limited to the Star Wars or Harry Potter franchises nor narratives exclusive to new media platforms and devices, though both these areas will necessarily be discuss...

Dieses Werk befasst sich mit § 87 Abs. 2 AktG, einer Vorschrift, die in ihrer jetzigen Form im Zuge der Finanzkrise durch das so genannte VorstAG eingeführt wurde und in der Literatur zum Teil auf erhebliche Ablehnung gestoßen ist. Sie steht im Kontext des Prozesses zunehmender Verrechtlichung des Bereichs der aktienrechtlichen Vorstandsvergütung. Der Autor zeigt auf, inwieweit die Vorschrift in einem Spannungsverhältnis zur allgemeinen Zivilr...

¿Cómo se traduce la idea de constelación mitológica en los artefactos culturales de los distintos espacios del hispanismo en épocas históricamente recientes? Las respuestas no podrían concretarse de otra manera, sino mediadas por la transversalidad, ya sea desde el punto de vista plural de los enfoques disciplinarios o de la insolvencia de la linealidad histórica como método de acercamiento a las nuevas mitografías. Aunque la literatura desemp...

Die Zahl Kleiner Anfragen steigt seit mehreren Legislaturperioden immer weiter an. Der Autor nimmt damit zusammenhängende Klagen aus der Öffentlichen Verwaltung zum Anlass, um zu untersuchen, welche Auswirkungen diese Steigerung auf Arbeitsbelastung und Performanz sowie auf Einstellungen und Praxisverständnis von Beschäftigten der Ministerialbürokratie hat. Dazu analysiert er die Parlamentsstatistik und führt eine Umfrage in mehreren Bundesmin...

For more than 20 years now, the publishing industry has been highly influenced by innovations in digital technology. This is not the first time that technological changes affect the book trade. Both the printing press and industrialized production methods vitally changed the book industry in their time. With a macroscopic, comparative approach, this book looks at the transitional phases of the book of the fifteenth and nineteenth centuries to ...

In this fascinating reappraisal of the non-literary drama of the late 19th - early 20th century, Christopher Fitz-Simon discloses a unique world of plays, players and producers in metropolitan theatres in Ireland and other countries where Ireland was viewed as a source of extraordinary topics at once contemporary and comfortably remote: revolution, eviction, famine, agrarian agitation, political assassination. The form was the fashionable one ...

What are Monsters? Monsters are everywhere, from cyberbullies online to vampires onscreen: the twenty-first century is a monstrous age. The root of the word «monster» means «omen» or «warning», and if monsters frighten us, it's because they are here to warn us about something amiss in ourselves and in our society. Humanity has given birth to these monsters, and they grow and change with us, carrying the scars of their birth with them. This c...

The book is a comparative case study of collective memory in two small communities situated on two Central-European borderlands. Despite different pre-war histories, Ukrainian Zhovkva (before 1939 Polish Zólkiew) and Polish Krzyz (before 1945 German Kreuz) were to share a common fate of many European localities, destroyed and rebuilt in a completely new shape. As a result of war, and post-war ethnic cleansing and displacement, they lost almost...

Dan Ben-Amos famously ushered in the performance turn in folklore studies in the 1970s with his paradigm-changing definition of folklore as "artistic communication in small groups." He went on to make profound contributions to issues of folktale, folk speech, genre, cultural memory, biblical and Jewish folklore, African folklore, and historiography, and gain renown around the world as a leading figure in folklore studies. In Contexts of Folklo...

A manifesto for the systems-thinking-informed approach to incident and accident investigation, this accessible text is aimed at experts and generalists. A Glossary of Terms explains key concepts. The premise is both unoriginal and original. Unoriginal, because it stands on the shoulders of systems-thinking pioneers - Barry Turner, Bruno Latour, Charles Perrow, Erik Hollnagel, Diane Vaughan and other luminaries. Original, because it is populi...

What is Horror? Horror is an inherently sensational and popular phenomenon. Extreme violence, terrifying monsters and jarring music shock, scare and excite us out of our everyday lives. The horror genre gives shape to the particular anxieties of society but also reveals the fundamental nature of what it is to be human. This volume provides an introduction to horror in compact and accessible essays, from classics such as Stanley Kubrick's T...

A fascinating true story, where two criminal cases are engulfed in falsity. Effectively, this has created myths and grand public uncertainty for a number of years, while others have stayed silent. Unfortunately, media sensationalism seems to be more important than the basic facts, surrounding this case. For a long time, over a two decades, poor media behaviour has continually created a false understanding, for public perception. Is this fair? ...
