Politics, Satire, and Historical Consciousness in Contemporary American Novel
What is the role of the historical and political novel in our lives? Is it just a story from the past, or does it shape our historical consciousness? Can we rely on the information within this type of fiction? According to many historicists, we cannot. However, we can also question numerous ideologically shaped history books that look more like fiction than scientific sources. Hence, historically and politically loaded fiction has an equal chance in the formational process of our historical consciousness. Besides, through satire and humor, which a scientist omits in a history book, a novelist manages to affect its reader on a different scale and leave a deeper trace. As E.,L. Doctorow once s...
Der deutsch-türkische Mehrsprachigkeitskontext
Die türkische Einwanderung nach Deutschland brachte und bringt eine migrantische Welt hervor, die sowohl die deutsche Sprache als auch die Gesellschaft seit vielen Jahrzehnten in vielfältiger Weise beeinflusst. Jede Generation türkischer Migranten bringt ein neues kulturelles Selbstdarstellungsmuster hervor und verändert – positiv wie auch negativ – die Migrationsgeschichte. Ausgehend von diesem Leitgedanken untersucht die Autorin eben jene generationellen Spuren, die die polarisierenden Grenzen zwischen der Migrations- und Mehrheitsgesellschaft neu konturieren. Auf der Grundlage eines umfangreichen Korpus wird analysiert, welcher spezifischen Variationsmechanismen sich die einzelnen Generationen als Ausdruck ihrer soziokulturellen Identität bedienen, inwiefern die generationelle Zugehörigkeit das Sprachverhalten beeinflusst und in welchem Ausmaß einzelne Generationen die Prozesse des Sprachwandels im deutsch-türkischen Mehrsprachigkeitskontext prägen.
Temporary Shelter
TEMPORARY SHELTER is based on the life of Russian poet Anna Akhmatova. It begins during during turbulent political times when Anna meets poet Nikolay Gumilev. Nikolay charms Anna into falling in love with him. He also creates a place for her in his free-spirited, Bohemian world. She forges her identity as a poet through love and loss, longing and tragedy. While society is undergoing a transformation, Anna is experiencing a personal one. She can't always rely on Nikolay. She must learn to rely on herself and her poetry. A scintillating and poetic novel, brimming with imagination, historical details, and profound emotional truths.--Jennifer Croft A thoroughly timely novel about the past. Jennings envisions Anna Akhmatova struggling against gender expectations and heteronormativity-even among fellow bohemians in 1910s St. Petersburg. Through many challenges, Akhmatova in TEMPORARY SHELTER remains committed to her individual identity and purpose. The novel is gorgeously written; Jennings's background as a poet and translator shines with imagery that is at once surprising and precise, sparse and sensuous.--Olga Livshin Fiction

Theorizing Historical Consciousness
Our understanding of the past shapes our sense of the present and the future: this is historical consciousness. While academic history, public history, and the study of collective memory are thriving enterprises, there has been only sparse investigation of historical consciousness itself, in a way that relates it to the policy questions it raises in the present. With Theorizing Historical Consciousness, Peter Seixas has brought together a diverse group of international scholars to address the problem of historical consciousness from the disciplinary perspectives of history, historiography, philosophy, collective memory, psychology, and history education. Historical consciousness has serious ...
