Mediterrane Räume
Das europäische ebenso wie das globale Selbstverständnis bestimmt sich maßgeblich über Räume - seien sie abstrakt, konkret, historisch oder aktuell. Das gilt besonders für die europäische Auseinandersetzung mit dem Mittelmeerraum und der mediterranen Kultur, die paradigmatisch für die Erforschung von Phänomenen der Interkulturalität steht. In der Gegenwart kommt diesem Raum mit Blick auf Fragen von Flucht und Migration eine spezielle Bedeutung zu. Die Beiträger*innen beleuchten interdisziplinäre Zugänge zur mehrsprachigen, multikulturellen Region des Austauschs, Handels und Konflikts und bieten so einen profunden Überblick über Sprache, Literatur und Kultur des Mittelmeerraums vom Altertum bis zur Neuzeit.
Sprache, Kultur, polyphone Narration
Mehrsprachigkeit und Plurikulturalität sind in der heutigen postmigrantischen Gesellschaft keineswegs eine Ausnahme, sondern der Normalfall. Die sprachliche und kulturelle Vielfalt steht auch im Mittelpunkt von Beate Baumanns Publikation zum Zusammenhang zwischen postmigrantischen Diskursen und sprachlichen, kulturellen sowie künstlerischen Praktiken. Die Autorin beleuchtet diese aus kulturwissenschaftlich-linguistischer und macht- und differenztheoretischer Perspektive. Das offenbart postmigrantische Rekonfigurationen sowie widerständige Praxen und erlaubt deren Analyse. Mögliche Implikationen und Chancen, die sich aus den gesellschaftsrelevanten sprachlichen und kulturellen Praktiken für anwendungsorientierte Bereiche wie den Unterricht im Fach Deutsch als Fremdsprache ergeben, bilden einen weiteren thematischen Schwerpunkt dieses Buches. Anhand essayistischer und literarischer Texte sowie Interviews kommen die Akteurinnen und Akteure zudem selbst zu Wort und bringen ihre Positionen und Visionen zum Ausdruck.
Powerful Prose
What makes a reading experience »powerful«? This volume brings together literary scholars, linguists, and empirical researchers who tackle the question by investigating the effects and reader responses generated by selected extracts of literary prose. The twelve contributions theorize this widely-used, but to date insufficiently studied notion, and provide insights into the therefore still mysterious-seeming power of literary fiction. The collection explores a variety of stylistic as well as readerly and psychological features responsible for short- and long-term effects – topics of great interest to those interested or specialized in literary studies and narratology, (cognitive) stylistics, empirical literary studies and reader response theory.
Comparative Practices
Comparisons not only prove fundamental in the epistemological foundation of modernity (Foucault, Luhmann), but they fulfil a central function in social life and the production of art. Taking a cue from the Practice Turn in sociology, the contributors are investigating the role of comparative practices in the formation of eighteenth-century literature and culture. The book conceives of social practices of comparing as being entrenched in networks of circulation of bodies, artefacts, discourses, and ideas, and aims to investigate how such practices ordered and changed British literature and culture during the long eighteenth century.
The Voices of Suspense and Their Translation in Thrillers
The volume aims to be a reference work for all researchers interested in the study of fictional dialogue and its translation in suspense novels and films as well as in related genres. The volume also aims to determine the interplay between the creation of suspense and fictional dialogue. The particular interest in dialogue comes from the host of roles it plays in fiction. It helps create suspense and arouses a whole range of feelings in the reader or the audience related to the development of the plot. Fictional dialogue is the discursive method of evoking orality, conferring authenticity and credibility on a plot and giving fictional characters a voice. As a narrative strategy, dialogue is ...
Campus Medius
Campus Medius explores and expands the possibilities of digital cartography in cultural and media studies. Simon Ganahl documents the development of the project from a historical case study to a mapping platform. Based on the question what a media experience is, the concepts of the apparatus (dispositif) and the actor-network are translated into a data model. A time-space of 24 hours in Vienna in May 1933, marked by a so-called "Turks Deliverance Celebration" (Türkenbefreiungsfeier), serves as an empirical laboratory. This Austrofascist rally is mapped from multiple perspectives and weaved into media-historical networks, spanning from the seventeenth century up to the present day.

Women Children (other) Vulnerable Grouhb
In an era of almost boundless individual opportunities, vulnerability, paradoxically, has gained significant attention. Undoubtedly this book significantly contributes to the debates on this very complex phenomenon, dealing with both the specific aspects of vulnerable individuals and groups' legal positions, as well as presenting the concept of vulnerability in international law. This book brings together scholars engaging with legal and actual positions of women, children and other vulnerable persons. Authors in detail discuss - among others - such issues as: political violence, motherhood in prison, age assessing of foreigners, infanticide or exclusion of the elderly. It will be of interest for academics in the fields of law and sociology, as well as vulnerability-oriented practitioners.
