George R.R. Martin's acclaimed seven-book fantasy series A Song of Ice and Fire is unique for its strong and multi-faceted female protagonists, from teen queen Daenerys, scheming Queen Cersei, child avenger Arya, knight Brienne, Red Witch Melisandre, and many more. The Game of Thrones universe challenges, exploits, yet also changes how we think of women and gender, not only in fantasy, but in Western culture in general. Divided into three sections addressing questions of adaptation from novel to television, female characters, and politics and female audience engagement within the GoT universe, the interdisciplinary and international lineup of contributors analyze gender in relation to female characters and topics such as genre, sex, violence, adaptation, as well as fan reviews. The genre of fantasy was once considered a primarily male territory with male heroes. Women of Ice and Fire shows how the GoT universe challenges, exploits, and reimagines gender and why it holds strong appeal to female readers, audiences, and online participants.
The Piracy Years

The Piracy Years: Internet File Sharing in a Global Context is the first collection to provide an overview of digital piracy’s recent past and its potential futures. Combining research essays, interviews, and overviews, the volume brings together leading scholars and infamous digital pirates from China, Germany, the Netherlands, Nigeria, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States. In June 1999, the peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing website Napster transformed the availability of online content, but the site was quickly sued into oblivion. Despite the highly publicised shutdowns of a number of P2P websites, many continue to thrive, and digital piracy has become a global phenomenon. This book argues that any future media theory and research will have to contend with such web practices remaining an integral and politically formative part of the Internet. Offline and online piracies thrive on technological affordances in opposition to corporate efforts – in music, film, publishing, and academia – to label them as threatening to the economy and society. Therefore, this book explores piracy as a phenomenon navigating the conventions, norms, and boundaries of legality in digital cultures. Pirate networked sociabilities work within and outside the fringes of market economy through the lens of institutional and discursive power. By creating new ways that keep society moving and from stagnation, they ensure its continued existence - including the survival of the very areas they attack. The Piracy Years is an essential resource for researchers, post-graduate students, and anyone interested in the global spread and ever-increasing importance of digital piracy.
Raubkopien: šberblick und Handlungsm”glichkeiten
Raubkopien sind schon l„ngst zum Massenph„nomen geworden. Jeder ist schon einmal mit ihnen in Kontakt gekommen, obwohl das Verbreiten der Kopien illegal ist. Doch wie l„sst sich diese gewaltige Verbreitung erkl„ren? Welche Motive stecken dahinter? šber welche Infrastrukturen werden sie verbreitet? Und was k”nnen Unternehmen gegen die Raubkopien tun? Diese Studie gibt einen šberblick ber diese Themen und zeigt auf, wie der Markt und die jeweiligen Raubkopien in den Bereichen Film, Musik, Videospiele, Software und E-Books funktionieren und welche Alternativen es fr die betroffenen Unternehmen abseits von den erwiesenermaáen wenig erfolgreichen Methoden wie Strafverfolgung und Kopierschutz geben kann. Zus„tzlich bietet sich ein spannender Einblick fr jeden Interessierten in ein Thema, mit dem viele von uns fast t„glich in Kontakt kommen, aber ber das wir meist nur wenig wissen.
