Emerging Genres in New Media Environments
This volume explores cultural innovation and transformation as revealed through the emergence of new media genres. New media have enabled what impresses most observers as a dizzying proliferation of new forms of communicative interaction and cultural production, provoking multimodal experimentation, and artistic and entrepreneurial innovation. Working with the concept of genre, scholars in multiple fields have begun to explore these processes of emergence, innovation, and stabilization. Genre has thus become newly important in game studies, library and information science, film and media studies, applied linguistics, rhetoric, literature, and elsewhere. Understood as social recognitions that embed histories, ideologies, and contradictions, genres function as recurrent social actions, helping to constitute culture. Because genres are dynamic sites of tension between stability and change, they are also sites of inventive potential. Emerging Genres in New Media Environments brings together compelling papers from scholars in Brazil, Canada, England, and the United States to illustrate how this inventive potential has been harnessed around the world.
Cultural Transfer Reconsidered
Examining the cultural dynamics of translation and transfer, Cultural Transfer Reconsideredproposes new insights into both epistemological and analytical questions. With its focus on the North, the book opens perspectives mainly implying textual, intertextual and artistic practices and postcolonial interrelatedness.
Fluchtlinien der Sprache(n)
Migration bedeutet eine - häufig physisch und psychisch traumatisierende - Zäsur, die vor multiple Verlusterfahrungen stellt. Diese sind mitunter schwer artikulierbar, sei es aufgrund sprachlich-kultureller Hürden, sei es aufgrund des Umstandes, dass das Erlebte das Vorstell- und Sagbare übersteigt. Derartige 'Fluchtlinien der Sprache' stellen nicht zuletzt das (westliche) Gesundheitswesen vor Herausforderungen, das sich aktuell mehr denn je mit Migrant: innen konfrontiert sieht. Gerade wenn es um die Wiedererlangung von (sprachlicher) Handlungsmacht geht, kommt künstlerischen Ausdrucksformen besonderer Stellenwert zu: verstanden als liminaler in-between space eröffnet die grenzübersc...
On Migration
This volume is based on the section “Transnationalities – Transidentities – Hybridities – Diasporization”, organized by the Ibero-American and Francophone Research Centres of the University of Leipzig as part of the First Annual Conference of the Centre for Area Studies at the University of Leipzig. By now, already a decade has passed since our conference section took place and it is due to various circumstances that this volume has not been published earlier. It carries along, in some sense, its own migration trace. Nevertheless, the questions examined in the contributions have reached even more relevance since then in both, the Old World and the New, due to the various political,...
TransArea
Ottmar Ette’s TransArea proceeds from the thesis that globalization is not a recent phenomenon, but rather, a process of long duration that may be divided into four main phases of accelerated globalization. These phases connect our present, across the world’s widely divergent modern eras, to the period of early modern history. Ette demonstrates how the literatures of the world make possible a tangible perception of that which constitutes Life, both of our planet and on our planet, which may only be understood through the application of multiple logics. There is no substitute for the knowledge of literature: it is the knowledge of life, from life. This English translation will be of great...
