• Sommario/riassunto: In recent decades the Internet has played what may seem to be a unique role in international crises. This book reveals an interesting parallel in the late nineteenth century, when a new communications system based on advances in submarine cable technology and newspaper printing brought information to an excitable mass audience. A network of insulated copper wires connecting North America, the Caribbean, South America, and Europe delivered telegraphed news to front pages with unprecedented speed. Britton surveys the technological innovations and business operations of newspapers in the United

• Sommario/riassunto: Notions of the 'Nordic' have always been an issue in Norway's national identity building, both before and after it became a sovereign state in 1905. Accordingly, Norwegian music has expressed a sense of ambivalence towards being conceived as 'Nordic' from the outside: A strong sense of 'Norwegianness' (forged during the heroic age of cultural nation-building in the 19th century) was challenged by the advent of new, nationalistic currents in the 1930s, which used notions of the Nordic as a political weapon. This book shows how music expresses affirmation and ambivalence towards the 'Nordic' as an ingredient of Norwegian national identity across musical genres. Further, it explores the contingencies of national music and the dramatic changes in 20th-century European political history. At the same time, it sheds new light on the difference between musical nationalism and national music.; Die versammelten Aufsätze entfalten ein breites und facettenreiches Panorama, betreten mitunter genuines Forschungsneuland und eröffnen durch ihren Fallstudiencharakter zahlreiche Ansätze für künftige Untersuchungen, auch weit über die deutsch-norwegischen Musikbeziehungen hinaus. Zudem lenken sie den Blick auf die noch zu wenig aus vergleichender Perspektive betrachteten internationalen Musikbeziehungen im 20. Jahrhundert und insbesondere das Musikleben unter deutscher Besatzung, die erst allmählich größere Beachtung finden. Viele Beiträge zeichnen sich zudem durch intensive Arbeit mit teils unbekannten Archivquellen aus und sind durch faksimilierte Dokumente und Bildmaterial angereichert. - Tobias Reichard, in: H-Soz-Kult, 06.04.2021.

• Sommario/riassunto: En 2008, la Société des auteurs et compositeurs dramatiques (SACD) a versé 136 millions d’euros de droits à 17 700 auteurs et compositeurs dramatiques. Entre 1997 et 2008, les répertoires gérés par la SACD ont beaucoup évolué, en particulier celui de l’audiovisuel, du fait des mutations technologiques intervenues depuis la fin des années 1990 dans ce secteur : apparition puis généralisation de la télévision numérique terrestre (TNT), développement des chaînes thématiques, etc. Les auteurs se distinguent nettement les uns des autres selon le répertoire (audiovisuel ou spectacle vivant) auquel ils participent, leur durée et leur volume de production, leur niveau de contributions aux diffusions et aux représentations, ainsi par les montants de droits ; perçus. La population des auteurs et compositeurs dramatiques reste âgée et très masculine, bien que les femmes y soient de plus en plus nombreuses. In 2008, SACD, France’s society of dramatic authors and composers (Société des auteurs et compositeurs dramatiques) paid out 136 million euros in royalties to 17,700 dramatic authors and composers. Between 1997 and 2008, the repertoire range managed by SACD has changed considerably, particularly that within the audiovisual field, due to changing technologies within the field since the 1990s, such as France’s national digital terrestrial service TNT (Télévision Numérique Terrestre), the emergence of specialist channels etc. Authors are clearly differentiated from each other depending on their repertoire field (audiovisual or live entertainment), their career span and output, their level of contributions to broadcasts and productions, as well as the royalty amounts received. The dramatic author and composer population remains relatively old and markedly male, although its female contingent is growing.

• Sommario/riassunto: Based on years of careful ethnographic fieldwork in Hanoi, Haunting Images offers a frank and compassionate account of the moral quandaries that accompany innovations in biomedical technology. At the center of the book are case studies of thirty pregnant women whose fetuses were labeled "abnormal" after an ultrasound examination. By following these women and their relatives through painful processes of reproductive decision making, Tine M. Gammeltoft offers intimate ethnographic insights into everyday life in contemporary Vietnam and a sophisticated theoretical exploration of how subjectivities are forged in the face of moral assessments and demands.Across the globe, ultrasonography and other technologies for prenatal screening offer prospective parents new information and present them with agonizing decisions never faced in the past. For anthropologists, this diagnostic capability raises important questions about individuality and collectivity, responsibility and choice. Arguing for more sustained anthropological attention to human quests for belonging, Haunting Images addresses existential questions of love and loss that concern us all.
