"From the mid-twentieth century onwards, televisual media has actively shaped relations between human bodies, health practices and market forces. By paying close critical attention to the nuances of these connections, Body, Capital and Screens makes an important intervention in the field of European and global health history, and presents a convincing argument for the value of engaging with visual resources in historiographic research."- Fiona Johnstone, Durham University, European Journal for the History of Medicine and Health (2021)
"Die beiden Wissenschaftler_innen, die bereits zuvor in Co-Autorenschaft veroeffentlichten, verbinden elf Beitraege, die auf der Mikroebene visuelle Kommunikationsformen analysieren. Dabei bearbeiten die Autor_innen dokumentarische Filme, Lehrfilme und Fernsehformate ebenso wie Amateurvideos. So passt sich das Buch perfekt in die Reihe "Media Matters" der Amsterdam University Press ein, die den Fokus auf die Verflechtungen von Materialitaet und Performativitaet in alten und neuen Medien legt. [...] Den Herausgeber_innen gelingt es, strategische Gesundheitskommunikation und Medienwissenschaft zu vereinen. Diese interdisziplinaere Forschungsperspektive findet im deutschsprachigen Raum erst selten Anwendung."
- Charmaine Voigt (Leipzig), MEDIENwissenschaft 03-04/2021
"Der von Christian Bonah und Anja Laukoetter herausgegebene Sammelband ist ein ueberaus gelungenes Beispiel fuer die Implementierung der Funktionsprinzipien des zeitgemaessen historisch-kulturwissenschaftlichen Denkens in eine interdisziplinaere und international ausgerichtete Veroeffentlichung. [...] Die immense Vielfalt an inhaltlichen Positionen und Ergebnissen, die vor diesem Hintergrund an konkreten thematischen Beispielen deutlich werden, macht den Sammelband in seiner Gaenze zu einem hoechst anregenden und lesenswerten Text."
- Stefan Zahlmann, Institut fuer Geschichte, Universitaet Wien, H-Soz-Kult, 2021

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Watermark-DRM, a „soft” copy protection. This means that there are no technical restrictions to prevent illegal distribution. However, there is a personalised watermark embedded in the eBook that can be used to identify the purchaser of the eBook in the event of misuse and to provide evidence for legal purposes.
