Menschliche Kommunikation ist auf wechselseitige Verstandigung hin angelegt. Diese kann gelingen, wenn die Kommunikationspartner universale Geltungsanspruche wie Verstandlichkeit, Wahrheit, Wahrhaftigkeit und Richtigkeit gemeinsam akzeptieren. Aufbauend auf diesem Grundgedanken hat Roland Burkart das Konzept der "Verstandigungsorientierten OEffentlichkeitsarbeit" entwickelt. Die Beitrage des vorliegenden Bandes diskutieren, modifizieren und erganzen die theoretischen und programmatischen Grundlagen dieses Konzepts. Empirische Fallstudien und Praxisberichte zeigen seine Bedeutung fur unterschiedliche Kommunikationsformen und Anwendungsfelder. Fur die zweite Auflage wurde der Band durchgesehen und uberarbeitet.

A leading voice in Lebanon's cultural diaspora, Rabih Mroue's acclaimed body of work addresses the contested memory of historical events that include the Lebanese civil war, the Arab Spring, and the Syrian Revolution. Spanning theatre, art, and literature, his diverse oeuvre is situated at the intersection of personal and political imaginaries, media critique, and concepts of authorship: through scripted conversations, confessions, reports, and questions, Mroue ceaselessly interrogates ways of speaking. Published on the occasion of his receipt of the Ernst Schering Foundation's Prize for Artistic Research in 2020, this anthology illuminates Mroue's work of the past 20 years through 20 interviews. New interviews and an introductory essay by the curator Nadim Samman draw a portrait of the artist.
