A History of German Literary Criticism, 1730-1980
First published in Germany in 1985, Geschichte der deutschen Literaturkritik was quickly recognized as the most original and comprehensive study to date of a proud critical tradition including such giants as Lessing, Goethe, and Heine. Now translated into English, it will serve as a model for a new approach to literary history in America and elsewhere, one emphasizing the connections of criticism with other public discourse. The editor, Peter Uwe Hohendahl, has provided an introduction and a chapter, "Literary Criticism in the Epoch of Liberalism,"translated by Jeffrey S. Librett. Filling in the history of German criticism from the Enlightenment to the present are Klaus L. Berghahn of the University of Wisconsin, "From Classicist to Classical Literary Criticism, 1730-1806," translated by John R. Blazek; Jochen Schulte-Sasse, University of Minnesota, "The Concept of Literary Criticism in Romanticism"; Russell A. Berman, Stanford University, "Literary Criticism from Empire to Dictatorship, 1870-1933,"; translated by Simon Srebrny; and Bernhard Zimmerman, University of T_bingen, "Developments in German Literary Criticism from 1933 to the Present," translated by Franz Blaha.
Americanization and Anti-Americanism
The ongoing discussions about globalization, American hegemony and September 11 and its aftermath have moved the debate about the export of American culture and cultural anti-Americanism to center stage of world politics. At such a time, it is crucial to understand the process of culture transfer and its effects on local societies and their attitudes toward the United States. This volume presents Germany as a case study of the impact of American culture throughout a period characterized by a totalitarian system, two unusually destructive wars, massive ethnic cleansing, and economic disaster. Drawing on examples from history, culture studies, film, radio, and the arts, the authors explore the...
Theories of Literary Realism
Realism has not only shaped important schools and periods in literary history, but has also been a fundamental constant of all literature, its first theoretical formulation being the principle of mimesis in Aristotle's Poetics. Realism can be considered by extension one of the main aspects of literary theory, the aims of which must be to define its concepts clearly and to neutralize the imprecision, polysemy, and ambiguity that often characterized the application of realism.
Lifestyle Journalism
Lifestyle journalism has experienced enormous growth in the media over the past two decades, but scholars in the fields of journalism and communication studies have so far paid relatively little attention to a field that is still sometimes seen as "not real journalism". There is now an urgent need for in-depth exploration and contextualisation of this field, with its increasing relevance for 21st century consumer cultures. For the first time, this book presents a wide range of studies which have engaged with the field of lifestyle journalism in order to outline the various political, economic, social and cultural tensions within it. Taking a comparative view, the collection includes studies ...
Die Funktion des Wissenschaftsjournalismus
Mit diesem Band wird erstmalig eine vollständige Darstellung der deutschsprachigen und anglo-amerikanischen Wissenschaftsjournalismus-Forschung vorgelegt. Bilanz dieser kritischen Bestandsaufnahme: Die journalistische Berichterstattung über Wissenschaft, Technik und Medizin wird stets einseitig auf eine wissenschaftszentrierte Aufklärung der Gesellschaft verpflichtet. Der Autor zeigt die Unangemessenheit dieser normativen Aufgabenbestimmung. In konstruktiver Auseinandersetzung mit der aktuellen Journalismustheorie entwickelt er einen neuen Entwurf zur Funktion des gesellschaftlichen Journalismussystems und leitet daraus die Funktion journalistischer Beobachtung von Wissenschaft ab. Der Band leistet somit auch einen wichtigen Beitrag zu einer systemtheoretisch orientierten Journalismustheorie.
