  Wheels of normality - Building...

  Norms and standards make it easier for companies and other organisations to reliably meet high expectations. They thus contribute to our trust in a normality that is characterised by quality, safety and comfort - and is therefore by no means "normal". As necessary and effective as norms and standards are for a society based on the division of labour and complexity, the public awareness of them is low. That is why this non-fiction book provides for the first time an overview of norms and standards systems in Switzerland.
  From a historical and a future-oriented perspective, the book takes up the following questions: Why and how have norms and standards become so important in recent decades? How exactly do they create their economic and social benefits? To what extent can they hinder or promote innovation and transformation - and what potential does this offer for sustainable development?
  Journalists, academics and other experts provide answers based on fundamental articles and case studies from companies and other organisations.

  Metamorphoses Volume 2

  Ovid’s Metamorphoses is a monumental narrative poem that chronicles the history of the world from creation to the deification of Julius Caesar, all through the lens of transformation. Composed of over 250 myths, the poem weaves together tales of gods, heroes, and mortals whose lives are changed—often through love, punishment, or fate—by physical metamorphosis. From Daphne turning into a laurel tree to escape Apollo, to Narcissus falling in love with his own reflection, Ovid’s elegant and often playful storytelling blends tragedy, humor, and wonder. His poetic vision explores themes of power, desire, identity, and the impermanence of life. Rich in imagery and emotional depth, Metamorphoses has profoundly influenced Western literature, art, and mythology, offering a vivid portrait of both divine caprice and human vulnerability.

  A look at the history of psychiatry’s foundational impact on the lives of queer and gender-variant people. 
    
  In the mid-twentieth century, American psychiatrists proclaimed homosexuality a mental disorder, one that was treatable and amenable to cure. Drawing on a collection of previously unexamined case files from St. Elizabeths Hospital, In the Shadow of Diagnosis explores the encounter between psychiatry and queer and gender-variant people in the mid- to late-twentieth-century United States. It examines psychiatrists’ investments in understanding homosexuality as a dire psychiatric condition, a judgment that garnered them tremendous power and authority at a time that historians have characterized as psychiatry’s “golden age.” That stigmatizing diagnosis made a deep and lasting impact, too, on queer people, shaping gay life and politics in indelible ways. In the Shadow of Diagnosis helps us understand the adhesive and ongoing connection between queerness and sickness.
