"Scientists deserve public recognition. The ways that they are depicted, however, are severely limited in physical and personal traits, helping to establish and enhance stereotypes under the general title of 'scientist'. These stereotypes range from the arrogant researcher who wants to rule the world, to the lab coat wearing 'nerdy' genius, but all generally fall to an extreme view of an existing perception of what a scientist should look and be like. For example, the popular image of 'a scientist' overlooks the presence of women almost entirely unless attributed to specific subjects and/or with narrow character depictions. The implications can be far-reaching. Young people, being heavily swayed by what they see and hear in the media, may avoid scientific careers because of these limited or unflattering portrayals of the scientific community, regardless of whether they reflect real life. Based on findings from the Light'13 project, this book examines such stereotypes and questions whether it is possible to adjust people's perception of scientists and to increase interest in science and scientific careers through a series of specific actions and events."

Thanks to a linguistic comparison of travel notes by Fascist intellectuals in the USSR I have identified three interpretative models of the Soviet phenomenon: theories about the character of Russian people; the presence of analogies between Soviet industry and American Fordism; similarities between fascism and communism. The result is both a fracture and integration with the West: as a fracture, Soviet Russia was perceived as positively close to Fascist Italy, whereas the similarities with the American model of economic growth were considered negative.

This volume traces the history of antisemitism from antiquity through contemporary manifestations of the discrimination of Jews. It documents the religious, sociological, political and economic contexts in which antisemitism thrived and thrives and shows how such circumstances served as support and reinforcement for a curtailment of the Jews' social status. The volume sheds light on historical processes of discrimination and identifies them as a key factor in the contemporary and future fight against antisemitism.

Im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert wurde die Literatur zum Verhandlungsort jüdischer Weiblichkeitsentwürfe, zu einem Experimentierraum, in dem zeitge¬nössische Diskurse über und anhand jüdischer Frauenfiguren ausgetragen und erprobt wurden. Es entstand eine Wechselwirkung zwischen literarischen Texten und der Wahrnehmung jüdischer Frauen, zwischen einer meist männlichen Perspektive und einem weiblich-jüdischen Selbstbild. Denn literarischen Weiblichkeitsentwürfen war zumeist ein Schreiben über (jüdische) Frauen inhärent. Weiblich(-jüdisches) Schreiben blieb eine Randerscheinung. Das gilt insbesondere für das 20. Jahrhundert: Die Pathologisierung von Frauen(-körpern) im Fin de Siècle wirkte nach und nahm Einfluss auf alle Lebensbereiche; für jüdische Frauen galt das durch eine Engführung von Antisemitismus und Misogynie in besonderer Weise. Im Mittelpunkt dieser Untersuchung stehen daher literarische Präsentationen jüdischer Frauen – jüdische Weiblichkeit als Paradigma männlicher Autorschaft. In the nineteenth and, in particular, twentieth centuries, literature became a place to negotiate ideas of Jewish femininity, an experimental space in which contemporary discourses were carried out and tried out on and using female Jewish characters. Literary portrayals of Jewish women and therefore Jewish femininity as a paradigm of male authorship are thus at the center of this study.
