On Screen and Off shows that the making of Nazism was a local
affair and the Nazi city a product of more than models and plans
emanating from Berlin. In Hamburg, film was key in turning this
self-styled "Gateway to the World" into a "Nazi city." The Nazi
regime imagined film as a powerful tool to shape National Socialist
subjects. In Hamburg, those very subjects chanced upon film culture
as a seemingly apolitical opportunity to articulate their own ideas
about how Nazism ought to work. Tracing discourses around film
production and film consumption in the city, On Screen and Off
illustrates how Nazi ideology was envisaged, imagined, experienced,
and occasionally even fought over. Local authorities in Hamburg,
from the governor Karl Kaufmann to youth wardens and members of the
Hamburg Film Club, used debates over cinema to define the reach and
practice of National Socialism in the city. Film thus engendered a
political space in which local activists, welfare workers, cultural
experts, and administrators asserted their views about the current
state of affairs, articulated criticism and praise, performed their
commitment to the regime, and policed the boundaries of the
Volksgemeinschaft. Of all the championed "people's products," film
alone extended the promise of economic prosperity and cultural
preeminence into the war years and beyond the city's destruction.
From the ascension of the Nazi regime through the smoldering
rubble, going to the movies grounded normalcy in the midst of
rupture.
This book challenges the idea that a sharp boundary should be drawn
between the state and civil society. Although this idea is
extremely common in modern capitalist societies, here it is turned
on its head through a study of the ways in which public funding
from the 1870s to the 1990s has enabled and shaped collective
action in Swedish popular education. Popular education has
generally been seen as independent of government control, with
strong connections to popular and labour movements; in this volume,
Berg and Edquist narrate a new story of its rise by analysing how a
government grant system was constructed to drive its development. A
key element in this government policy was to create and protect
popular education as an autonomous phenomenon, yet making it
perform state functions by regulating its bureaucratic make-up and
ideological content. The book will appeal to scholars and students
of history, education, and sociology, particularly those with an
interest in the workings of the capitalist state as well as the
history of education.

Over 12 million people with epilepsy have seizures that cannot be
controlled by antiepileptic drugs. The term "drug-resistance" is
abundantly used in the epilepsy literature but the definitions
proposed differ considerably. It is used indifferently in a number
of different settings: as a criterion for selection of patients
eligible for new antiepileptic drug trials, for the selection of
surgical candidates, for the design of epidemiological studies, for
the design of studies on quality of life, for the definition of the
epileptic encephalopathies (in comparison to more benign epilepsy
syndromes), to mention but a few. As a result, available studies
are usually not comparable and referral to epilepsy specialists is
unacceptably delayed. The volume includes several focused chapters
on all issues relating to drug-resistance and offers the basis for
a consensus on a clinically meaningful core definition.
