The Antechamber
Helmut Puff invites readers to visit societies and spaces of the past through the lens of a particular temporal modality: waiting. From literature, memoirs, manuals, chronicles, visuals, and other documents, Puff presents a history of waiting anchored in antechambers—interior rooms designated and designed for people to linger. In early modern continental Western Europe, antechambers became standard in the residences of the elites. As a time-space infrastructure these rooms shaped encounters between unequals. By imposing spatial distance and temporal delays, antechambers constituted authority, rank, and power. Puff explores both the logic and the experience of waiting in such formative spac...
Playing Oppression
A striking analysis of popular board games’ roots in imperialist reasoning—and why the future of play depends on reckoning with it. Board games conjure up images of innocuously enriching entertainment: family game nights, childhood pastimes, cooperative board games centered around resource management and strategic play. Yet in Playing Oppression, Mary Flanagan and Mikael Jakobsson apply the incisive frameworks of postcolonial theory to a broad historical survey of board games to show how these seemingly benign entertainments reinforce the logic of imperialism. Through this lens, the commercialized version of Snakes and Ladders takes shape as the British Empire’s distortion of Gyan Chau...

Künstliche Welten zwischen Multisensorik und Multimedialität
Kunst und Kultur des 21. Jahrhunderts sind dominiert von multimedialen wie multisensorischen Sinneserfahrungen und Wahrnehmungsprozessen. Allerdings fehlt es an wissenschaftlichen Begriffen und Analyseinstrumentarien zur systematischen Untersuchung dieser Prozesse, die tradierte Vorstellungen von Erzählen, Fiktionalität und Rezeption herausfordern. Relevante Fragen in diesem Kontext sind beispielsweise, inwiefern die sinnliche Komponente der Werke ein narratives Potential aufweist und an der Erzählung der Geschichte mitwirkt, wie sie Bedeutung erzeugen kann, wie sich das Verhältnis zwischen Medienspezifik und Medienzusammenspiel fassen lässt, welche Mehrwerte sich aus der Kombination mehrerer medialer Darbietungsformen ergeben, wie sich das sprachlich oft nur schwer fassbare sinnliche Erleben bei der Rezeption konzipieren lässt und welche Konsequenzen sich für den Werkbegriff ergeben. Zur Beantwortung dieser und weiterer Fragen setzt sich der Band mit Beispielen multimedialer wie multisensorischer Kunst aus unterschiedlichen disziplinären Perspektiven auseinander.
Parodistische Konstellationen von Nationalsozialismus und Holocaust
Soll die Erinnerungskultur zu Nationalsozialismus und Holocaust mehr als das politische Abtragen von vergangener Schuld sein, muss sie gegenwartsrelevant und anschlussfähig für das medienkulturelle Gedächtnis der aktuellen Generationen sein. Die hier untersuchten Gegenstände aus Literatur, Film, Kunst und Comic (Christian Kracht: Faserland, Thomas Meinecke: Hellblau, Alexander Kluge/Gerhard Richter: Dezember, Quentin Tarantino: Inglourious Basterds, Jean-Luc Godard: Histoire(s) du cinéma, Zbigniew Libera: Lego. Concentration Camp, Walter Moers: Adolf. Äch bin wieder da!!, Der Bonker) bilden eine Poetik parodistischer Konstellationen aus, die die historische Katastrophe des Holocaust als radikale Alterität anerkennt und diese mittels popkultureller und postmoderner Verfahren in ihrer Unverfügbarkeit sichtbar und zugänglich macht. Die auf diskursive Öffnung zielenden parodistischen Konstellationen widerlegen damit die scheinbare Unvereinbarkeit von Popkultur/Postmoderne und Erinnerungskultur.
