Das Buch befasst sich mit der Bedeutung und Relevanz eines Fangegenstandes (Star Wars) für die Konstitution der (Fan-)Identität seiner AnhängerInnen. Star Wars als ein – wenn nicht sogar „das“ – populärkulturelle[s] Phänomen zu bezeichnen, ist keine Übertreibung, hat es doch nicht nur die Art und Weise verändert, wie im modernen Kino Geschichten, durchaus auf spektakuläre Weise, erzählt werden und den Begriff des Blockbusterkinos geprägt. Was fasziniert Menschen an Star Wars? Warum beschäftigen sie sich so leidenschaftlich und intensiv mit diesem Thema? Diese Arbeit handelt von genau den Menschen, die ihr Leben und ihren Alltag mit Star Wars und einer Leidenschaft für dieses Universum verbinden und mit anderen teilen. Dabei wird insbesondere dargestellt, wie ein mediales Erzeugnis – etwa Filme, Serien oder Bücher – die Star Wars-AnhängerInnen seit vielen Jahren, gar Jahrzehnten begleitet und diese Erzählung ein Teil ihres Lebens wurde. Es geht darum, zu ergründen, wie Star Wars – um es mit einem zentralen Begriff der Sozialwissenschaften zu benennen – ein Teil der Sozialisationserfahrungen wurde. Der Inhalt Das Star Wars-Universum und seine Hintergründe • Fan-Sein und die Identität des Star Wars Fans Die Zielgruppen Erziehungs-, Kultur- und Medienwissenschaftler • SoziologInnen • Studierende • Star Wars Fans und die thematisch interessierte Öffentlichkeit Der Autor Dr. Matthias Völcker ist wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter am Institut für Erziehungswissenschaft der Georg-August-Universität Göttingen.

This collection offers new approaches to theorizing Asian film in relation to the history, culture, geopolitics and economics of the continent. Bringing together original essays written by established and emerging scholars, this anthology transcends the limitations of national borders to do justice to the diverse ways in which the cinema shapes Asia geographically and imaginatively in the world today. From the revival of the Silk Road as the “belt and road” of a rising China to historical ruminations on the legacy of colonialism across the continent, the authors argue that the category of “Asian cinema” from Turkey to the edges of the Pacific continues to play a vital role in cutting-edge film research. This handbook will serve as an essential guide for committed scholars, students, and all those interested in the past, present, and possible future of Asian cinema in the 21st century. .

In this book, Tal S. Shamir sets out to identify cinema as a novel medium for philosophy and an important way of manifesting and developing philosophical thought. The volume presents a comprehensive analysis of the nature of philosophy’s potential—or, more strongly put, its need—to be manifested cinematically. Drawing on the fields of cinema, philosophy, and media studies, Cinematic Philosophy adds film to the traditional list of ways through which philosophy can be created, concentrating on the unique potential of the cinematic medium to effectively put forward and create philosophy. In the process, the book opens up innovative horizons for new types of knowledge and wisdom grounded in contemporary contexts and philosophical thought. Philosophy, best characterized as the love of wisdom, is not dependent on a specific medium nor solely situated within written text or oral lectures. Shamir asserts that philosophy can, should, and must be manifested and identified in a range of different platforms. .
