An Emotional History of the United States
Emotions lie at our very core as human beings. How we process and grapple with our emotions, how and what we emote, and how we respond to the emotions of others, constitute the essence of our social universe. In a very real sense, we exist only through the prism of our emotions. And yet the profound effect of human emotion on history, politics, religion, and culture, remains underexamined. While the influence of emotion in such realms as American foreign policy has been well-documented, other emotional aspects of American history have escaped notice. What role, for instance, does emotion have in the practice of African American religion? How do shame and self- hatred influence American conce...
Crossing Textual Boundaries in International Children’s Literature
“As the first part of the title indicates, my interest in looking at intertextuality and transformation still maintains a prominent place throughout this book as well. If we believe that ‘no text is an island,’ then we will understand that the relationships between and within texts across the years become a fascinating place for academic inquiry.

Conceptions of Postwar German Masculinity
This groundbreaking work examines the long-ignored issue of masculinity and masculine identity in German culture, society, and literature, from 1945 to the present. Utilizing emerging men's studies theories, feminism, psychoanalysis, and literary studies, the book provides a resource for understanding how masculinity informs homosocial, male-female, and adult-child relations. Psychologists, literary scholars, and philosophers survey the current state of men's studies in the German academy, the representation of masculinity in postwar German literature, the psychic legacies of fascism, Turkish-German masculinities, Jewish-German masculinities, Neo-Nazi masculine identity, and the relationship between child sexual abuse and masculinity. Most significantly, the book offers tools for critical reflection on how men maintain power over women and other less powerful groups.
Kinder- und Jugendliteratur heute
Was leistet Kinder- und Jugendliteratur (KJL) im 21. Jahrhundert? Welche Stoffe und Themen greift sie auf? Und welche Darstellungsformen nutzt sie? Diesen und weiteren Fragen zum Handlungs- und Symbolsystem KJL wendet sich der vorliegende Band zu, der im ersten Teil theoretische Überlegungen zu aktuellen Entwicklungen und Tendenzen in der KJL entwickelt. Die Beiträge im zweiten Teil gehen ausgewählten Romanen analytisch auf den Grund. Ihr Anliegen ist es, über die Auseinandersetzung mit dem »Was« und »Wie« des Erzählens die Rolle der Texte in einer globalisierten Mediengesellschaft zu diskutieren. Der dritte Teil versammelt Beiträge zu Ehren von Prof. Dr. Benno Pubanz, der sich als...
