Out of funds, Ralph Leslie jumps at the chance to sign aboard a luxurious yacht as steward of the After House. It was easy sailing until one summer night, when the dream voyage became a nightmare. Mary Roberts Rinehart (August 12, 1876 – September 22, 1958) was an American writer, often called the American Agatha Christie, although her first mystery novel was published 14 years before Christie's first novel in 1922. Rinehart is considered the source of the phrase "The butler did it" from her novel The Door (1930), although the novel does not use the exact phrase. Rinehart is also considered to have invented the "Had-I-But-Known" school of mystery writing, with the publication of The Circular Staircase (1908). She also created a costumed super-criminal called "the Bat", cited by Bob Kane as one of the inspirations for his "Batman".

The Defenders is a 1953 science fiction novelette by American author Philip K. Dick, and the basis for Dick's 1964 novel The Penultimate Truth. It is one of several of his stories to be expanded into a novel. The story was first published in the January 1953 issue of Galaxy Science Fiction. In 1956, the story was adapted for the radio program X Minus One by George Lefferts. Eight years ago a nuclear war began between the United States and the Soviet Union. American survivors evacuated to gigantic bunkers miles under ground. Sophisticated, radioactivity-immune robots called "leadys" continue fighting the war on the devastated surface that is far too dangerous for humans. The Soviets have similarly evacuated underground, and each side builds powerful weapons and vehicles for the remote-controlled war they only see from film that the robots deliver. The security department asks Taylor, an American war planner, to observe the interrogation of a leady regarding the progress of the war. Although the robot reports that lethal radioactivity and sophisticated new Soviet weapons continue to make the surface dangerous for humans, the observers find that the leady is not radioactive. Taylor learns that this is the second such robot the security department has found; it assigns him to an expedition, wearing lead suits, to investigate the truth about surface conditions. Taylor's group surprises the leadys at the surface and demands to see the outside. Although the robots attempt to delay the humans as long as possible, the group discovers outside the bunker an undamaged valley with forests, animals, and a farm. The leadys reveal that the war ended as soon as the humans evacuated because the robots could not see a rational purpose for it. Analyzing history, they found that groups of humans warred with each other until they matured to overcome conflict. Humanity is almost ready for a single culture, the current worldwide division into American and Soviet sides being the final step.

Wuthering Heights is Emily Brontë's only novel. Written between October 1845 and June 1846, Wuthering Heights was published in 1847 under the pseudonym "Ellis Bell"; Brontë died the following year, aged 30. Wuthering Heights and Anne Brontë's Agnes Grey were accepted by publisher Thomas Newby before the success of their sister Charlotte's novel, Jane Eyre. After Emily's death, Charlotte edited the manuscript of Wuthering Heights, and arranged for the edited version to be published as a posthumous second edition in 1850. Although Wuthering Heights is now widely regarded as a classic of English literature, contemporary reviews for the novel were deeply polarised; it was considered controversial because its depiction of mental and physical cruelty was unusually stark, and it challenged strict Victorian ideals of the day regarding religious hypocrisy, morality, social classes and gender inequality. The English poet and painter Dante Gabriel Rossetti, although an admirer of the book, referred to it as "A fiend of a book – an incredible monster [...] The action is laid in hell, – only it seems places and people have English names there." The novel has inspired adaptations, including film, radio and television dramatisations, a musical by Bernard J. Taylor, a ballet, operas (by Bernard Herrmann, Carlisle Floyd, and Frédéric Chaslin), and a 1978 song by Kate Bush.

Die Erfolgsgeschichte der deutsch-französischen Verständigung nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg ist ohne den Beitrag der Zivilgesellschaft nicht denkbar. Doch nicht nur staatlich geförderte Kultureinrichtungen, Bürgerengagement und intellektuelle Mittler machten diese Überwindung alter Konfrontationslinien möglich - sondern auch Akteure, Medien und Formate aus dem Feld der Populärkultur, etwa Musik und Film, Radio und Fernsehen, Zeitschriften, Comics und Karikaturen, neue Medien und Sport. Dieser Band geht den populärkulturellen Vermittlungsprozessen zwischen Deutschland und Frankreich nach und fragt nach ihrer Verflechtung mit gesamteuropäischen und transatlantischen Dynamiken.

In der Frühzeit von Phonographie, Reproduktionsklavier, Film und Radio wurden die damals neuen Medien nicht nur untereinander verknüpft, sondern auch mit der traditionellen musikalischen Praxis des Instrumentalspiels kombiniert. Der Band beleuchtet diese heute weitgehend vergessenen, vielfältig ausdifferenzierten Felder musikalischer Medienpraxis. Neben der Frage nach der musik- und medienhistoriographischen Relevanz solch ephemerer musikalischer Mediengemische widmen sich die Beiträge den komplexen Verflechtungen zwischen den neu entstandenen Reproduktions- und Übertragungsmedien, dem naturwissenschaftlichen und ästhetischen Denken der Zeit sowie den ökonomischen Entwicklungen. Darüber hinaus werden medienästhetische Strategien beleuchtet, mit denen die neuen technischen Geräte künstlerisch umgedeutet wurden.

Ausgangspunkt der Untersuchungen, die von Autorinnen und Autoren aus der Geschichts-, der Religions- und der Rechtswissenschaft, der Soziologie und der Philosophie vorgenommen werden, ist die Beobachtung, dass Religion seit dem letzten Drittel des 20. Jahrhunderts wieder als eine Geschichte und Gesellschaft gestaltende Kraft wahrgenommen wird. Dies geht keineswegs konflikt- und kontroversenfrei vonstatten: Um Religion wird vielmehr vehement öffentlich gestritten. Viele dieser Konflikte beschäftigen Juristen und Gerichte. Daher stellt sich prominent die Frage nach der Rolle des Rechts in der Entstehung, Bearbeitung und Lösung oder auch (gewaltsamen) Eskalation von Konflikten um Religion; doch auch die Rolle, die mediale Inszenierungen für den Verlauf der Auseinandersetzungen spielen, ist zu untersuchen. Die Autorinnen und Autoren des Sammelbandes gehen diesen Fragen nach. Die Beiträge gliedern sich in zwei Teile: Im ersten Teil werden einerseits religions- und rechtshistorische, andererseits religions- und rechtssoziologische Sondierungen vorgenommen. Im zweiten Teil werden ausgewählte Religionsrechtskonflikte und -kontroversen der jüngeren Zeit (darunter die Polemiken um die Regensburger Rede Papst Benedikts XVI., der Streit um das rituelle Schächten und die Debatten um die Erwähnung Gottes bzw. des religionsgeschichtlichen Erbes Europas in Verfassungstexten der Europäischen Union, aber auch der Kopftuchstreit, die Kontroverse um die »Satanischen Verse« Salman Rushdies, die polnischen Konflikte um den klerikalen Radiosender Radio Maryja, der Berliner Streit um den »Werteunterricht«, der lange Rechtsstreit der Zeugen Jehovas um Zuerkennung des Körperschaftsstatus) exemplarisch rekonstruiert und analysiert.
