National Stereotyping, Identity Politics, European Crises
The articulation of collective identity by means of a stereotyped repertoire of exclusionary characterizations of Self and Other is one of the longest-standing literary traditions in Europe and as such has become part of a global modernity. Recently, this discourse of Othering and national stereotyping has gained fresh political virulence as a result of the rise of “Identity Politics”. What is more, this newly politicized self/other discourse has affected Europe itself as that continent has been weathering a series of economic and political crises in recent years. The present volume traces the conjunction between cultural and literary traditions and contemporary ideologies during the crisis of European multilateralism. Contributors: Aelita Ambrulevičiūtė, Jürgen Barkhoff, Stefan Berger, Zrinka Blažević, Daniel Carey, Ana María Fraile, Wulf Kansteiner, Joep Leerssen, Hercules Millas, Zenonas Norkus, Aidan O’Malley, Raúl Sánchez Prieto, Karel Šima, Luc Van Doorslaer,Ruth Wodak
Media Agoras
Media Agoras: Democracy, Diversity, and Communication is a collection of essays presenting some of the most up-to-date perspectives on the study of the role media play in the construction of a more inclusive and respectful society. From theoretical debates on the role played by media in fostering participatory practices in the public sphere to more empirically based analyses of the media policy, production, content, and reception in relation to democratic possiblities and diversity, this book presents a critical overview of such crucial debates in contemporary European societies.
Migration
Recent debates on migration have demonstrated the important role of concepts in academic and political discourse. The contributions to this collection revisit established analytical categories in the study of migration such as border regimes, orders of belonging, coloniality, translation, trans/national digital culture and memory. Exploring notions, images and realities of migration in their cultural framings, this volume sheds light on the powerful work of these concepts. Including perspectives on migration from history, visual studies, pedagogy, literary and cultural studies, cultural anthropology and sociology, it explores the complex scholarly and popular notions of migration with particular focus on their often unspoken assumptions and political implications. Revisiting established analytical tools in the study of migration, the interdisciplinary contributions explore new approaches and point to the importance of conceptual nuance extending beyond academic discourse.
German #MeToo
This volume of new essays represents a collective, academic, and activist effort to interpret German literature and culture in the context of the international #MeToo movement, illustrating and interrogating the ways that rape cultures persist.
Kids online
As the internet and new online technologies are becoming embedded in everyday life, there are increasing questions about their social implications and consequences. Children, young people and their families tend to be at the forefront of new media adoption but they also encounter a range of risky or negative experiences for which they may be unprepared, which are subject to continual change. This book captures the diverse, topical and timely expertise generated by the EU Kids Online project, which brings together 70 researchers in 21 countries across Europe. Each chapter has a distinct pan-European focus resulting in a uniquely comparative approach.
Popularizing National Pasts
Popularizing National Pasts is the first truly cross-national and comparative study of popular national histories, their representations, the meanings given to them and their uses, which expands outside the confines of Western Europe and the US. It draws a picture of popular histories which is European in the full sense of this term. One of its fortes is the inclusion of Eastern Europe. The cross-national angle of Popularizing National Pasts is apparent in the scope of its comparative project, as well as that of the longue durée it covers. Apart from essays on Britain, France, and Germany, the collection includes studies of popular histories in Scandinavia, Eastern and Southern Europe, nota...
The SAGE International Encyclopedia of Mass Media and Society
The SAGE International Encyclopedia of Mass Media and Society discusses media around the world in their varied forms—newspapers, magazines, radio, television, film, books, music, websites, social media, mobile media—and describes the role of each in both mirroring and shaping society. This encyclopedia provides a thorough overview of media within social and cultural contexts, exploring the development of the mediated communication industry, mediated communication regulations, and societal interactions and effects. This reference work will look at issues such as free expression and government regulation of media; how people choose what media to watch, listen to, and read; and how the influence of those who control media organizations may be changing as new media empower previously unheard voices. The role of media in society will be explored from international, multidisciplinary perspectives via approximately 700 articles drawing on research from communication and media studies, sociology, anthropology, social psychology, politics, and business.
Medialität und Realität
Niemand wird ernsthaft bestreiten, dass Medien eine sozialisierende Wirkung entfalten. Die Frage ist jedoch, wie radikal dies aufgefasst werden muss? Einerseits stehen Medien als eine Sozialisationsinstanz neben anderen. Zum anderen ist festzustellen, dass Sozialisation immer medial oder mindestens medial induziert stattfindet, dass Sozialisation also immer auch und schon mediale Sozialisation ist. Verschiedene Theorien bieten unterschiedliche Möglichkeiten, um die Frage nach der konstitutiven Kraft der Medien zu diskutieren. Im Rahmen dieser Publikation werden hierzu ausgewählte theoretische Perspektiven vorgestellt und erörtert.
Medienwelten im Wandel
Die Autorinnen und Autoren dieses Bandes präsentieren zum einen kommunikationswissenschaftliche Positionierungen sowie theoretische Auseinandersetzungen mit medien- und kommunikationswissenschaftlichen Fragestellungen. Zum anderen zeigen sie die Perspektiven kommunikationswissenschaftlicher Forschung im Kontext von Interdisziplinarität und Internationalität auf oder leuchten die kommunikationswissenschaftliche Forschung aus der Perspektive anderer Disziplinen aus. Auch die bereits existierende und potentiell wechselseitige Bereicherung der‚ Disziplinen‘ wird hier diskutiert. Im abschließenden Teil werden die Relevanz von beziehungsweise die Schlussfolgerungen aus interdisziplinär und international angelegter kommunikationswissenschaftlicher Forschung für die Gesellschaft in den Mittelpunkt gestellt.
