Hauptbeschreibung This book asks if Barack Obama's election as the 44th President of the United States represented a paradigmatic shift in the political and cultural tides. It works to move beyond a renewed acknowledgement of the extraordinary symbolic value of a black man having become president in a country still rife with racial problems. Specifically, 'Obama and the Paradigm Shift' investigates those areas of cultural politics in which Obama's election to the U.S. presidency were expected to make the greatest impact. These include racial politics, normative forms of masculinity

This volume combines narratological analyses with an investigation of the ideological ramifications of the use of narrative strategies. The collected essays do not posit any intrinsic or stable connection between narrative techniques and world views. Rather, they demonstrate that world views are inevitably expressed through highly specific formal strategies. This insight leads the contributors to investigate why and how particular narrative techniques are employed and under what conditions.

Counterfactuality is currently a hotly debated topic. While for some disciplines such as linguistics, cognitive science, or psychology counterfactual scenarios have been an important object of study for quite a while, counterfactual thinking has in recent years emerged as a method of study for other disciplines, most notably the social sciences. This volume provides an overview of the current definitions and uses of the concept of counterfactuality in philosophy, historiography, political sciences, psychology, linguistics, physics, and literary studies. The individual contributions not only engage the controversies that the deployment of counterfactual thinking as a method still generates, they also highlight the concept's potential to promote interdisciplinary exchange without neglecting the limitations and pitfalls of such a project. Moreover, the essays from literary studies, which make up about half of the volume, provide both a historical and a systematic perspective on the manifold ways in which counterfactual scenarios can be incorporated into and deployed in literary texts.

Die Konstellationen rund um Reproduktion sind hoch dynamisch und stets erklärungsbedürftig. Das zeigen die Debatten und Konflikte um Entscheidungsprozesse rund um Schwangerschaft und Geburt, die Kritik am Status quo von Versorgungsinfrastrukturen sowie die Aushandlungen von Sorgearbeit. Die Beiträger*innen des Bandes loten ein weites Spektrum an Politiken der Reproduktion aus und fragen aus intersektional-feministischer Perspektive nach Verbindendem und Spezifischem in Feldern der Regulierung und des Erlebens von Körpern, Wissen und Lebenschancen. Die interdisziplinären Perspektiven ermöglichen dabei einen Dialog zwischen Wissenschaft, Praxis und Aktivismus.
