More than Michael Moore: Contemporary Australian Book Reading Patterns and the Wars on Iraq and Afghanistan
Set in a period of heightened public debate in the 2000s and with predictions of the demise of printed books in the background, this study examines whether Australians turned to books in relation to some of the most heated international issues of the era: those associated with the wars on Iraq and Afghanistan. Analysis of the data reveals that over one and a half million books worth over AUS $50 million (AUS $50,213,000) which could be read directly in relation to debates about the wars were sold in the 6 years timeframe and far more if indirect reading is included. This research is one of the first major scholarly studies internationally to identify English-language contemporary reading patterns based on Nielsen BookScan sales data and is located in an illustrative timeframe (2003–2008): after the introduction of Nielsen BookScan in Australia and before the popularity of ebooks.

Erwachsenenerziehung durch Sachbücher?
Angesichts der aktuellen gesellschaftlichen Herausforderungen ist zu fragen, ob die pädagogische Ergänzung politischer Entscheidungen sich allein auf die Bildung Erwachsener stützen kann oder ob nicht auch erzieherische Formate notwendig sind. Diese stehen allerdings unter einem Entmündigungsverdacht. Einen Ausweg aus diesem Dilemma könnten Sachbücher mit einem erzieherischen Impetus bieten. Exemplarisch werden daher Sachbücher, die ihren Leserinnen und Leser rassismuskritische Sichtweisen unterbreiten und sie z. T. zu diesen erziehen, interpretiert. Deutlich werden hier nicht nur unterschiedliche pädagogische Adressierungen der Leserinnen und Leser, die vom Bildungsangebot bis zu inszenierten Erziehungsprozessen reichen, sondern auch neue Perspektive auf die Entmündigungsproblematik.
