In Body Language in Literature, Barbara Korte has produced an important interdisciplinary study, by establishing a general theory that accounts for the varieties of body language encountered in literary narrative, based on a general history of the phenomenon in the English language. By focusing on major works of literature, including stories by D.H. Lawrence, Margaret Atwood, and J.D. Salinger, Korte shows body language to be a vital yet unexplored method of communication in literature.

This is the first study to explore the connections between the development of travel and the rapid expansion of the periodicals market in the second half of the nineteenth century in Britain. By the 1860s, travel articles had become a staple of the periodicals market and reached readers who might never have travelled far themselves or bought a travel book. This monograph demonstrates that the representation of travel in Victorian periodicals came in forms and with cultural functions that differed from book publication, and that this media-specific representation helped to inscribe travel into the Victorian lifeworld. Based on a corpus of several general-interest periodicals targeted at different audiences, this book investigates how different readers - the family, women, young people and the working classes - engaged with travel. It argues that travel articles in periodicals performed significant cultural work because they accommodated readers to travel. Barbara Korte is Professor of English Literature at the University of Freiburg, Germany, with a special interest in culture and media. She has published widely on travel writing and Victorian periodicals, including English Travel Writing: From Pilgrimages to Postcolonial Explorations (Palgrave Macmillan, 2000).

Geschichte hat gegenwärtig Konjunktur - besonders populäre Präsentationen prägen das Geschichtsbild nachhaltig. Dennoch ist das Forschungsfeld populärer Geschichtskulturen bisher wenig bearbeitet worden. Die Beiträge des Bandes beschäftigen sich aus inter- und transdisziplinärer Perspektive mit Geschichtsdarstellungen in Print, Film und Fernsehen. Hinzu kommen Analysen von Medien und Genres, die bisher kaum erforscht wurden, etwa Geschichtstheater, Computerspiele oder Stadtrundgänge. »[Der Band hinterlässt] den positiven Eindruck, fundierte Einblicke in wichtige Phänomene populärer Geschichtskultur zu vermitteln und neue Fragen aufzuwerfen.« Olaf Hartung, H-Soz-u-Kult, 30.10.2009 Besprochen in: Studienkreis Deutscher Widerstand 1933-1945, informationen 72 (2010)
