Public health is a key priority for developed and developing
nations. Indeed, many countries have sought strategies to promote
health and reduce health inequalities. A 'settings approach' to
promoting health has been endorsed by the World Health
Organization, which has seen settings such as workplaces, schools,
hospitals and prisons utilised to promote health. Alongside this,
sport has received increasing pressure to consider its social role
within the societies and communities in which it operates. Healthy
Stadia is a European focused initiative with lessons relevant for
global audiences to develop: (i) healthier stadium environments for
fans and non-matchday visitors (e.g. smoke-free environments), (ii)
healthier club workforces (e.g. bike to work schemes) and (iii)
healthier populations in local communities (e.g. child obesity
interventions). This book outlines lessons and insight from
practitioners and empirical research for those seeking to learn and
research stadia as a settings approach to health promotion. The
areas covered include: practical considerations for health
promotion in sports stadia; empirical research on the sports stadia
as a setting for public health promotion; research on physical
activity and health promotion programmes delivered by the outward
facing community trusts attached to sports clubs; an analysis of
the policy considerations for health promotion by sports clubs in
school based settings and critical insight and discussion
surrounding the use of physical activity and sport interventions to
promote physical activity and public health. The chapters in this
book originally published in a special issue of Sport in Society.
This study of the legendary Berlin literary and cultural journal
Sinn und Form (1949- ) has a twofold significance. Based on
extensive archival research and a detailed reading of the journal's
published face, it is a comprehensive history of "Sinn und Form",
whose founding editor was Peter Huchel and whose authors include
Bertolt Brecht, Ernst Bloch, Pablo Neruda, Romain Rolland, Peter
Weiss, Christa Wolf, Heiner Muller and Durs Grunbein. As such, it
offers a fascinating perspective on the cultural history of the GDR
and post-unification Germany. The study is also a first typological
analysis of the anatomy of such a journal, organised in seven
analytical categories: founding conception; cultural-political
context; institutional infrastructure; role of editors; network of
contributors; textual and compositional dimension; readership and
reception. Drawing on Pierre Bourdieu's sociology of culture, the
authors set out to explain how the journal acquired and maintained
its influence over the last 60 years. In turn, this
conceptualisation of the journal as an agent in the cultural field
opens the way for systematic research into literary and cultural
journals from a comparative perspective, synthesising sociological
and literary approaches.
This book seeks to move twentieth-century German literary history
away from its stubbornly persistent reliance on the political
turning-points of 1933 and 1945. In the first part of the book, the
authors analyze a synchronic corpus of literary journals,
identifying a restorative aesthetic mood in the years 1930-1960
which persists across political date boundaries. In the second
part, the careers of five writers are considered diachronically
against this prevailing restorative climate: Gottfried Benn,
Johannes R. Becher, Bertolt Brecht, Gunter Eich, and Peter Huchel.
Combining these two approaches, the authors show that a fresh
perspective that challenges established literary-historical
periodisations can shed light on the common cultural and aesthetic
ground shared by writers, editors and critics across the
ideological divides of the era.

In this study the author elaborates a comparative framework for
analysing literary texts from the Third Reich and the GDR in terms
of the extent of assent and/or dissent expressed through them
towards the National Socialist and SED regimes. The author maps out
areas of similarity and difference in the workings of cultural
policy in the two dictatorships. In the second part of the study,
Gunter Eich's work for the Nazi radio system and Bertolt Brecht's
cultural activities in the GDR act as case studies to illuminate
the patterns of interdependent assent and dissent generated under
the conditions of dictatorship.
