Sprachgebrauch im Kontext
In den letzten Jahren führte der intensive akademische Austausch zwischen Deutschland und Brasilien zu einer erhöhten Nachfrage nach Deutschunterricht in Brasilien, wobei der Erwerb der Wissenschaftssprache eine besondere Herausforderung darstellt. Doch Deutsch und deutsche Dialekte sind schon länger, vor allem seit der deutschen Einwanderung im 19. Jahrhundert, in Brasilien präsent und werden in einigen Regionen von Generation zu Generation weitergegeben. Dieser Band leistet einen wichtigen Beitrag zur germanistischen Linguistik aus brasilianischer Perspektive. Im Mittelpunkt steht dabei die Analyse des Sprachgebrauchs im Kontext seiner unterschiedlichen Facetten, so beispielsweise der ...
The European Handbook of Central Asian Studies
This handbook is the first collection of comprehensive teaching materials for teachers and students of Central Asian Studies (CAS) with a strong pedagogic dimension. It presents 22 chapters, clustered around five themes, with contributions from more than 19 scholars, all leading experts in the field of CAS and Eurasian Studies. This collection is not only a reference work for scholars branching out to different disciplines of CAS but also for scholars from other disciplines broadening their scope to CAS. It addresses post-colonial frameworks and also untangles topics from their ‘Soviet’ reference frame. It aims to de-exoticize the region and draws parallels to European or to historically...
Metaphorical Conceptualizations
The book deals with the important shift that has been heralded in cognitive linguistics from mere universal matters to cultural and situational variation. The discussions examine cognitive and cultural linguistics’ theories in relation to the following areas of research: (i) metaphorical conceptualization; (ii) the influence of culture on metaphor, metonymy and conceptual blends; (iii) the impact of culture and cognition on metaphorical lexis; (iv) the interface of pragmatics and cognition when metaphor is studied in situ, that is, in face-to-face as well as in virtual multimodal interaction; (v) the application of insights from metaphorical conceptualizations to language teaching, and (vi) recent methods for revealing (inter)cultural metaphorical conceptualizations (corpus-based approaches, gesture studies, etc.). The book brings together cognitive, functional, and (inter)cultural approaches.
Korea, the Iron Silk Road and the Belt and Road Initiative
Korea as a "middle power" in the last decades saw a growing importance, partly through greater economic clout, partly through greater cultural and soft power ("K-pop"), and partly through collective action in institutions like G 20. However, recent instability in Northeast Asia, plus growing trade conflicts and political conflicts in the region and worldwide, endanger this position. Moreover, the tremendous rise of China in economic, geo-political and cultural terms overshadowed the Korean development. However, also here the Chinese Belt and Road Initiative seems to dominate the headlines, as well as the policy fora and practical business decisions. Therefore, this book discusses an urgent, indeed pressing topic: how can middle powers like South Korea and Germany benefit from closer economic and political linkages across the Eurasian landmass, in particular the Belt and Road Initiative dominated by China.? Should they rather jump on the bandwagon or should they follow distinct own initiatives, either in their region or inter-regionally?
KulturConfusão – On German-Brazilian Interculturalities
The analyses of German and Brazilian cultures found in this book offer a much-needed rethinking of the intercultural paradigm for the humanities and literary and cultural studies. This collection examines cultural interactions between Germany and Brazil from the Early Modern period to the present day, especially how authors, artists and other intellectuals address the development of society, intervene in the construction and transformation of cultural identities, and observe the introduction of differing cultural elements in and beyond the limits of the nation. The contributors represent various academic disciplines, including German Studies, Luso-Afro-Brazilian Studies, Cultural Studies, Li...
