Modern Jewish history is urban. In the wake of massive migratory movements and social transformations since the late 19th century, cities became the prime sites for the emergence and reconfiguration of modern Jewish identities and cultures. They served as hubs in transnational diasporic networks and as pivots of local Jewish communities. The unique framework of the modern metropolis facilitated an unprecedented diversification of Jewish cultural practices and expressions. Drawing from a rich variety of sources, Tales of Three Cities limns the complex reciprocities between cities and Jews and identifies paradigmatic elements of modern urban Jewish experiences. Investigating the encounters between established communities and Jewish immigrants arriving in late-Victorian London, the strategies to come to terms with the fluctuating and fragmented landscape of the modern city experienced by Berlin Jews during the Weimar Republic and the ambiguities of exile experienced by Jewish refugees in Paris during the waning years of peace, this innovative study calls for an integrated approach to Jewish history. Tobias Metzler convincingly shows that Jewish urban experiences can serve as a magnifying glass to assess both the complexities of modern cities and the ambiguities of modernity more generally.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2011 im Fachbereich BWL - Investition und Finanzierung, Note: 2,3, Technische Universität München, Veranstaltung: Seminar in Finance and Management Accounting, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: What are the similarities of a garden that can be hung with magnets on the wall, a fleet of pollution collecting sailing drones and a bracelet which merges with the iPod touch to a watch? All three have made the leap from an idea to a real product. And all three were financed by crowdfunding. In theory, before the discovery of crowdfunding, individuals have been indirectly financed projects by their savings. In doing so, banks acted as an intermediary between them who need the money and those who have it. The innovation in crowdfunding process is in comparison to other financing methods that it don¿t needs an intermediary, because the entrepreneurs seek their investors by themselves. The typical communication takes place via the internet.Crowdfunding is an option of financing which is especially used for artistic projects. It is also used to finance startups in information and communication, design, fashion or trade industry. The special thing about crowdfunding is the collection small amounts of money from many people by using the internet. Every amount is just a small part of the fund they need to achieve the project. If a project is successful, the investors might even receive interests on their deployed capital, but mostly they receive another form of reward.Crowdfunding it is not just to raise funds, it is also the collection of information. Moreover, it is often advantageous for the project that it passes through the crowd the process of funding a higher level of awareness. This is essential for the future commercialization. Furthermore, one gets the investors feedback that can be incorporated in the development. Since investors usually slip into the role of the customer, it can be seen as an exchange of information between the organization and the customers. Often it is not only a pure crowdfunding financing. It can be a hybrid financing, in which a certain proportion of the required funding is obtained via crowdfunding, and the other part is obtained by usual forms of financing.
