[For the entire collection see Zbl 0695.00012.] The author's introduction: ``We give an elementary introduction to the theory of mixed Hodge modules [the author, Publ. Res. Inst. Math. Sci. 24, No. 6, 849-995 (1988; Zbl 0691.14007); ibid. 26, No. 2, 221-333 (1990; Zbl 0727.14004)]. Philosophically the mixed Hodge modules are the objects in \(\text{char }0\) which correspond to the perverse mixed complexes in \(\text{char }p\) [cf. \textit{A. A. Bejlinson, Yu. I. Manin} and \textit{V. V. Shekhtman}, in \(K\)-theory, arithmetic and geometry, Semin, Moscow Univ. 1984-1986, Lect. Notes Math. 1289, 52-66 (1987; Zbl 0645.17008); \textit{A. A. Bejlinson, J. Bernstein} and \textit{P. Deligne}, Astérisque 100, 172 p. (1982; Zbl 0536.14011)] by the dictionary of \textit{P. Deligne} [Inst. Haut. Études Sci., Publ. Math. 40 (1971), 5-57 (1972; Zbl 0219.14007); ibid. 44 (1974), 5-77 (1975; Zbl 0237.14003)]. For the definition of mixed Hodge modules we have to use essentially the theory of filtered \(D\)-modules and vanishing cycle functors. But in this note we try to avoid the technical difficulties as much as possible; e.g. the knowledge of \(D\)-modules is not assumed in \(\S 1-2\)''.
