Sequential Art: Interdisciplinary Approaches to the Graphic Novel
This volume was first published by Inter-Disciplinary Press in 2016. No matter whether you call it picture book, manga, strip, graphic novel, or simply comic, it is undeniable that over the past thirty years, the image of sequential art in all its varieties has changed from a cheap form of entertainment for youngsters to a medium as cherished as novels and films. This timely publication aims to engage critically with issues in and around the production and perception of all types of graphic narratives. Mirroring the hybridity and complexity of graphic novels themselves, this essay collection brings together the works of scholars from various fields ranging from literature and culture to history, from social science to art. From manifold perspectives, it elaborates on topics like the perception and production of comics in and by different cultures, intertextuality and narrative techniques, the construction of identities within and by graphic narratives as well as the interpretation and depiction of historical landmarks by comic book artists.
Multimodality
This textbook provides the first foundational introduction to the practice of analysing multimodality, covering the full breadth of media and situations in which multimodality needs to be a concern. Readers learn via use cases how to approach any multimodal situation and to derive their own specifically tailored sets of methods for conducting and evaluating analyses. Extensive references and critical discussion of existing approaches from many disciplines and in each of the multimodal domains addressed are provided. The authors adopt a problem-oriented perspective throughout, showing how an appropriate foundation for understanding multimodality as a phenomenon can be used to derive strong methodological guidance for analysis as well as supporting the adoption and combination of appropriate theoretical tools. Theoretical positions found in the literature are consequently always related back to the purposes of analysis rather than being promoted as valuable in their own right. By these means the book establishes the necessary theoretical foundations to engage productively with today’s increasingly complex combinations of multimodal artefacts and performances of all kinds.

The US Sports Film: A Genre of American Dream Time
Sports and film are media that create time. They are temporal not only in the sense that they are defined and regulated by certain temporalities as a result of processes of social negotiation, but also in the sense of modulating and intervening in these processes in the first place. They are determined by multiple temporalities referring to and aligning along perceptual corporeality; but at the same time, they also produce time through and along temporalities of bodily expression and perception. Thus, as much as we perceive and understand sports and film by means of our culturally coded conceptions of time, this comprehension is itself already the product of these media’s fabrication and m...
Familie und Comic
Als popkulturelles Medium bieten gerade Comics vielfältige Perspektiven auf zeitgenössische und historische Familienkonzepte und -metaphern. Die interdisziplinären Beiträge der Publikation reflektieren kritisch, welche medienspezifischen narrativen, (produktions-)ästhetischen und/oder pädagogischen Potentiale und Funktionen Comics aufweisen, um un/gewöhnliche Familienkonzepte und -strukturen in Text und Bild zu de/konstruieren.

Audiovisuelle Rhetorik als politische Intervention
Dieses Buch plädiert für die Relevanz von Filmanalyse und Medienreflexion in der interdisziplinären Untersuchung gesellschaftlicher Kommunikation. Angesichts der Präsenz audiovisueller Positionierungen und ihres Einflusses auf politische Diskurse steht eine spezifische Erfahrung im Fokus: Filme und Videos erheben oder provozieren Einspruch. Durch das Widersprechen prägen sie die Wahrnehmung politischer Krisen – vom Kinodokumentarfilm zu Massakern der 1960er Jahre in Indonesien über Spielfilme in Zeiten von #BlackLivesMatter und einer ‘alternativen rechten’ Mobilisierung anlässlich der Finanzkrise in den USA bis hin zu politischer Kommunikation zur Klimakrise und dem Regierungsha...

Schule im deutschen Spielfilm
Darstellungen von Schule in deutschen Spielfilmen scheinen immer wieder auf ähnliche Bilder und Semantiken von Bildung, Erziehung und sozialer Selektion zurückzukehren, selbst bei Filmen, die zeitlich weit voneinander entfernt produziert wurden. Woran liegt das? Wie es zum audiovisuellen Austausch zwischen Filmen aus verschiedenen Epochen kommt und wie neue Filme sich alte Schuldbilder immer wieder neu aneignen, untersucht diese Monografie. Dabei sieht das Buch die Darstellungen von Schule als sinnliche Erforschung einer gemeinsam geteilten Wahrnehmungswelt, welche sich erst durch Aneignungen von und Bezüge zu anderen Filmen und Fiktionen herstellt. Der wissenschaftliche Ansatz dieser poetologischen Analyse baut maßgeblich auf den politikwissenschaftlichen Theorien Jacques Rancières, Hannah Arendts und Richard Rortys auf und verbindet dabei film- und kulturwissenschaftliche, soziologische wie bildungswissenschaftliche Perspektiven. Dieses Buch ist die erste größere filmhistoriografische Publikation, die sich dem Thema aus einer umfänglichen Perspektive widmet und dabei exemplarische Werke aus über 100 Jahren gemeinsamer und geteilter deutscher Filmgeschichte analysiert.
Inszenierungen zeitgenössischer Propaganda
Hans Bausch Mediapreis 2024 "Don't drink and drive!", "Respect Covid regulations!", or "Don't get the vaccine!": In the public spheres of democratic societies, there are many insistent audiovisual messages that appeal to the public in the name of the "common good". This monograph examines such social advertisements against a multi-disciplinary field of theoretical reference in order to develop a discourse-analytical approach. By analyzing films serving "mundane" purposes as cinematic forms of meaning-making, it opens up audiovisual discourse formations to aesthetic and political critique. This film studies perspective sheds new light on media practices where propaganda, advertising, and publ...
