This volume deals with the American production Spartacus. In the discussion of the present, a turn to Greek or Roman antiquity can be observed again and again. To find there the roots of Western society for politics, economics or philosophy, or to derive comparative arguments for expansionist efforts or decline, is not just part of the rhetorical commonplace. From a media cultural studies and media ethics perspective, specific ways of looking at responsibility, the transmission of values, loyalty, education, self-discipline, and religion can be identified in TV series, which can be evaluated as self-statements of the present or the producers. The content The historical Spartacus and the medial Spartacus.- The series Spartacus.- Entertainment in the Roman Republic and in the series.- Identity, persona and questions of recognition.- Body enactments and corporeality.- Everyday use of violence and experience of violence.- Composed copulatory settings: sex, eroticism and love.- Understanding of freedom and freedom as conflict.- "Fuck the Gods: morality, religion and religiosity.- Experience and experiential eroticism. Composed copulatory settings: sex, eroticism, and love.- Understandings of freedom and freedom as conflict.- "Fuck the Gods": morality, religion, and religiosity.- Experience and experiential extremism.- The myth and Spartacus - the myth of Spartacus.- Media and history. The target groups Lecturers and students of media and communication studies, cultural studies and film studies The author Dr. Thomas Wilke is Professor of Cultural Education at the Ludwigsburg University of Education. This book is a translation of an original German edition. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation.

Die Bedeutung von Populären Kulturen sowie von Popkulturen kann nicht ohne einen Bezug auf Performativität und Medialität begriffen werden. Mit diesem Bezug bilden sich zugleich Kulturen des Performativen und Medialen heraus. Dieses Thema ist bisher im Kontext der Forschungen zur Performativität von Kulturen nicht systematisch erforscht worden. Vor diesem Hintergrund geht es um die Beantwortung der Frage, inwieweit sich in Populären Kulturen sowie Popkulturen Aspekte, Prozesse, Transformationen, Manifestationen von Medialität und/oder Performativität niederschlagen, beobachten und beschreiben lassen, wie Populäre Kulturen sowie Popkulturen mitformen bzw. allererst durch Erscheinungen Populärer Kulturen sowie Popkulturen eine spezifische Bedeutung erhalten. Die Aufgabe besteht darin, nicht einfach bereits etablierte Konzepte zur Performativität und Medialität in ihrer Tragkraft am Beispiel Populärer Kulturen und Popkulturen zu veranschaulichen, sondern im Gegenteil, gegenstandsorientierte Konzepte von Performativität und Medialität durch ein sowie Popkulturen close reading Populärer Kulturen zu erarbeiten – interdisziplinär und intermedial. Dr. Marcus S. Kleiner lehrt Medienwissenschaft an der Universiät Siegen am Seminar für Medienwissenschaft. Dr. Thomas Wilke lehrt Medien- und Kommunikationswissenschaft an der Universiät Halle-Wittenberg, Department für Medien- und Kommunikationswissenschaften. Zielgruppen Lehrende und Studierende der Medien-, Kultur-, Theater-, Film, Literatur-, Sozial- und Kunstwissenschaften Popwirtschaft und Pop-Akademien Medien- und Kulturmangement.

Ancient lakes are exceptional freshwater environments that have continued to exist for hundreds of thousands of years. They have long been recognized as centres of biodiversity and hotspots of evolution. During recent decades, speciation in ancient lakes has emerged as an important and exciting topic in evolutionary biology. The contributions in this volume deal with patterns and processes of biological diversification in three prominent ancient lake systems. Of these, the famous East African Great Lakes already have a strong tradition of evolutionary studies, but the two other systems have so far received much less attention. The exceptional biodiversity of the European sister lakes Ohrid and Prespa of the Balkans has long been known, but has largely been neglected in the international literature until recently. The rich biota and problems of its evolution in the two central lake systems on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi, in turn, have only lately started to draw scientific attention. This volume aims at deepening the awareness of the unusual biological diversity in ancient lakes in general, and of the role of these lakes as natural laboratories for the study of speciation and diversification in particular. It should stimulate further research that will lead to a better understanding of key evolutionary processes in these lakes, and to knowledge that might help in mitigating the deterioration of their diversity in the future.
