Questa serie di saggi attinge profondamente alla filosofia e alla teoria per sezionare una vasta gamma di argomenti culturali. Esamina la società contemporanea attraverso la lente del digitale, dell'erotico e delle strutture di potere. I testi provocatori offrono prospettive inedite sulla letteratura, la scrittura d'affari e le complesse passioni umane. È un'esplorazione di verità tempestive in modo spesso intempestivo.






In questo agile saggio, Byung-Chul Han analizza il controllo delle passioni e delle pulsioni nella società contemporanea come uno strumento essenziale attraverso il quale il potere “addomestica” e manipola la loro forza liberatoria, capace di turbare ogni ordine e modello. Assediato da questo controllo, l’individuo non è piú capace di amare e si abbandona a una sessualità sempre uguale. Stiamo diventando immuni all’eros?
Zur Poetik des Nationalsozialismus
Anfang 2016 wird Adolf Hitlers Mein Kampf im Rahmen einer wissenschaftlich kommentierten Edition zum ersten Mal seit Kriegsende wieder in Deutschland zu kaufen sein. Die Veröffentlichung bietet Anlass, aufs Neue den furchtbaren Erfolg der ›Bibel der Nazis‹ zu ergründen. Es ist nämlich keinesfalls klar, warum das politisch wirre, peinlich geifernde und eigentlich nicht ernstzunehmende Machwerk eine solche Wirkung erzielen konnte. Angesichts offensichtlicher inhaltlicher Absurditäten, die auch schon zu Zeiten der Originalveröffentlichung bemerkt wurden, nähert sich Albrecht Koschorke dem Buch mit literaturwissenschaftlichem Instrumentarium. Welche Erzählstrategien hat Hitler benutzt, welche Lesepraxis hat er angeregt? Und was hat es damit auf sich, dass das Buch trotz enormer Verbreitung, kaum gelesen wurde? Der literaturwissenschaftliche Blick enthüllt, dass es Hitler entgegen allem Anschein nicht in erster Linie um die fanatische Verbreitung einer Wahrheit ging, sondern darum, Anhänger wie Gegner zu einer Reaktion zu zwingen.

A philosopher considers entertainment, in all its totalizing variety- infotainment, edutainment, servotainment-and traces the notion through Kant, Zen Buddhism, Heidegger, Kafka, and Rauschenberg.
Corporations increasingly recognize the power of storytelling, with companies like Microsoft employing dedicated storytellers and others like IBM and Coca-Cola utilizing narrative techniques. Steve Jobs exemplified this approach, making narrative a vital communication tool for organizations. In 'Portrait of the Manager as a Young Author', Philipp Schoenthaler delves into the surprising connection between business and storytelling. The apparent contradiction lies in the notion that, as philosopher Hans Blumenberg suggests, stories are meant to pass the time, yet managers often appear pressed for time. Nevertheless, Schoenthaler highlights how narratives can simplify complexity, especially when digital information overwhelms our cognitive capacity. Both words and numbers serve as instruments of truth, revealing their interdependence within management. This raises questions about the implications of ubiquitous narratives and the commercialization of storytelling on literature. Schoenthaler examines the interplay between economics and literature through the lens of storytelling, presenting a unique perspective as an award-winning literary author. This work contrasts with typical business-focused storytelling literature by addressing how storytelling influences business and vice versa. Translated by Amanda DeMarco.
