Abstract

Im Horizont der Germanistik haben sich gerade in den vergangenen Jahren die Postkolonialen Studien als ein lebendiges und vielfältiges Forschungsparadigma etablieren können. Im Anschluss daran macht sich der Band eine (inter-)mediale Ausweitung der postkolonialen Perspektive zur Aufgabe - verknüpft mit der Frage, wie dies Chancen zur Überschreitung der doch starken Schriftzentriertheit in der Postkolonialen Germanistik bieten kann. Die Beiträge beschäftigen sich vor allem kritisch mit der Darstellung kultureller Fremdheit in Literatur, Musik, Fotografie, Theater und Film im 20./21. Jahrhundert sowie ihren intermedialen Schnitt- und Grenzbereichen.

Abstract

"Folkloresque introduces a new concept to explore the dynamic relationship between folklore and popular culture. Folkloresque describes the phenomenon were folklore is vaguely referenced for its power to connect beyond a product--tropes in the domain of popular culture that deploy folkloristic themes but outside academic folklore."-- "This volume introduces a new concept to explore the dynamic relationship between folklore and popular culture: the "folkloresque." With "folkloresque," Foster and Tolbert name the product created when popular culture appropriates or reinvents folkloric themes, characters, and images. Such manufactured tropes are traditionally considered outside the purview of academic folklore study, but the folkloresque offers a frame for understanding them that is grounded in the discourse and theory of the discipline.Fantasy fiction, comic books, anime, video games, literature, professional storytelling and comedy, and even popular science writing all commonly incorporate elements from tradition or draw on basic folklore genres to inform their structure. Through three primary modes--integration, portrayal, and parody--the collection offers a set of heuristic tools for analysis of how folklore is increasingly used in these commercial and mass-market contexts.The Folkloresque challenges disciplinary and genre boundaries; suggests productive new approaches for interpreting folklore, popular culture, literature, film, and contemporary media; and encourages a rethinking of traditional works and older interpretive paradigms.

Abstract

Throughout its early history, photography's authenticity was contested and challenged: how true a representation of reality can a photograph provide? Does the reproduction of a photograph affect its value as authentic or not? From a Photograph examines these questions in the light of the early scientific periodical press, exploring how the perceived veracity of a photograph, its use as scientific evidence and the technologies developed for printing it were intimately connected. Before photomechanical printing processes became widely used in the 1890s, scientific periodicals were unable to reproduce photographs and instead included these photographic images as engravings, with the label 'from a photograph'. Consequently, every image was mediated by a human interlocutor, introducing the potential for error and misinterpretation. Rather than 'reading' photographs in the context of where or how they were taken, this book emphasises the importance of understanding how photographs are reproduced. It explores and compares the value of photography as authentic proof in both popular and scientific publications during this period of significant technological developments and a growing readership.

Abstract

L'irruption du livre de poche aux États-Unis est à la fois un phénomène économique (à l'image de l'aventure de Gervais Charpentier en France au XIXe siècle), social (en permettant aux armées de se divertir), moral (de par les conceptions parfois tapageuses des couvertures) et politique. Écrit dans un style qui relève du récit journalistique, cet ouvrage a paru aux États-Unis en 1984. Il couvre la période 1939 à 1982, et est consacré à ce phénomène, devenu maintenant tout à fait quotidien, qui a bouleversé le monde de l'édition et, plus largement, de la culture et de l'éducation, notamment en démocratisant la lecture. Cette chronique de la « révolution du livre de poche » retrace l'histoire des auteurs, éditeurs, libraires et lecteurs qui la menèrent – et de ce que cela révéla pour l'Amérique. Dans sa préface, Bertrand Legendre éclaire les enjeux de cette nouvelle forme éditoriale et pose les bases d'une étude comparée avec ce que la création du poche en France, dans les années 1960, a déclenché. Pour la première fois traduit en français, cet essai vient enrichir l'histoire de l'édition contemporaine. Kenneth C. Davis est un grand historien de la culture populaire étasunienne, célèbre pour sa série Don't Know Much About..., qui a touché un large public dans les années 1990 et 2000 en développant aussi bien des sujets sur les pionniers, l'histoire américaine, ou encore les présidents américains.

Abstract

This groundbreaking anthology examines the phenomenon of crime and our historical understanding – and misunderstanding – of the criminal mind through the lens of the humanities, unpacking foundational concepts in criminology and criminal investigative analysis through disciplines such as the visual arts, cultural studies, religious studies, and comparative literature. Edited by two key figures in this burgeoning field who are also pre-eminent experts in both forensic semiotics and literary criminology, this book breathes new life into the humanities disciplines by using them as a collective locus for the study of everything from serial homicide, sexual disorders, and police recruiting and corruption to the epistemology of criminal insanity. Using a multidisciplinary framework that traverses myriad pedagogies and invokes a number of methodologies, this anthology boasts chapters written by some of the world’s key scholars working at the crossroads of crime, media, and culture as broadly defined.
