Postmigrant Turn

Der Band will mit dem Begriff des 'Postmigrant Turn' eine Debatte anstoßen: Wie kann die postmigrantische Perspektive für kulturwissenschaftliche Untersuchungen als Analysekategorie nutzbar gemacht werden? Die Argumentation für eine postmigrantische Theoriewende soll der Steigerung von Sichtbarkeit marginalisierter künstlerischer Praktiken und Stimmen zuarbeiten und – an der Schnittstelle von Wissenschaft und Gesellschaft – kritische wie produktive Diskussionen rund um das Themenfeld Postmigration anstoßen. Deshalb sollen auch solche Stimmen zu Wort kommen, die sich außerhalb des Universitären mit der Bezeichnung 'postmigrantisch' identifizieren und die noch stärker in akademisch...

Reclaim!

Der Band widmet sich postmigrantischen und widerständigen Stimmen sowie künstlerischen Verfahren, die darauf abzielen, hegemoniale Verhältnisse zu irritieren und zu subvertieren. Vielfältige Strategien des (Re-)Claiming, der Aneignung bzw. Wiederaneignung, werden zum einen anhand unterschiedlichster Formen wehrhafter Kunst untersucht: etwa mit Blick auf literarische und filmische Gegennarrative, neu angeeignete Theaterstücke und -räume oder Musik, die sich mithilfe intertextueller Bezüge selbstermächtigend positioniert. Zum anderen werden Debatten, Proteste und Widerständigkeiten im öffentlichen, privaten sowie institutionellen Raum beleuchtet: in den Sozialen Medien, beim Adbustin...

Between Two Waves

You think we are like, actually all fucked? Like rising seas, and hurricanes and judgement and shit? Having lost a lifetime of research in the worst floods Sydney has witnessed, Daniel -- a climatologist and advisor to the government -- isn't in the mood for appreciating the irony of what he should have predicted. Paralysed by the knowledge that the world is consuming itself, Daniel takes little joy in planning for his future -- somewhat of a problem for his spirited other half, Fiona. When Fiona tells Daniel they're about to start a family, Daniel must choose between what he knows and what he loves. Between Two Waves asks an anxious, warming world: how do we find happiness in the face of an uncertain future? (1 act, 2 male, 2 female).

The Essential Cult TV Reader

The Essential Cult TV Reader is a collection of insightful essays that examine television shows that amass engaged, active fan bases by employing an imaginative approach to programming. Once defined by limited viewership, cult TV has developed its own identity, with some shows gaining large, mainstream audiences. By exploring the defining characteristics of cult TV, The Essential Cult TV Reader traces the development of this once obscure form and explains how cult TV achieved its current status as legitimate television. The essays explore a wide range of cult programs, from early shows such as Star Trek, The Avengers, Dark Shadows, and The Twilight Zone to popular contemporary shows such as Lost, Dexter, and 24, addressing the cultural context that allowed the development of the phenomenon. The contributors investigate the obligations of cult series to their fans, the relationship of camp and cult, the effects of DVD releases and the Internet, and the globalization of cult TV. The Essential Cult TV Reader answers many of the questions surrounding the form while revealing emerging debates on its future.
