Die gesellschaftliche Bedeutung populärkultureller Formate wie der TV-Serie hängt nicht nur von den ästhetischen Medienprodukten selbst ab, sondern auch von ihrer kommunikativen Verarbeitung in der Interaktion. Dabei bieten Serien in hohem Maße ein identitäts- und gemeinschaftsstiftendes Potential, dem sich die vorliegende Studie aus gesprächsanalytischer Perspektive widmet. Anhand von videographierten Gesprächen über Serien und Serienrezeption zwischen Schüler/-innen wird erörtert, wie sich die Teilnehmenden miteinander vergemeinschaften und voneinander abgrenzen, in welchem Zusammenhang dabei interaktive Bewertungskonstruktionen und der relative Wissensstatus stehen und welchen Einfluss die medialen und ästhetischen Ressourcen der Serien für interaktionale Positionierungspraktiken haben. Umfangreiche Detailanalysen werden in einem Analysemodell zusammengeführt, das dabei helfen kann, sowohl die Komplexität von Serienkommunikation als auch die sozialisatorische Relevanz von Serienrezeption in jugendlichen Peer-Groups besser zu verstehen. Die Arbeit schließt an zentrale Forschungslinien der Konversations- und Diskursanalyse an und bietet Anknüpfungspunkte für künftige Untersuchungen zu medienbezogenen Interaktionen. One of the reasons for the social significance of pop-cultural formats like TV series is how they are communicatively processed in interactions. This book uses video recordings of conversations between students about series to develop an analytical model that allows researchers to investigate community-forming activities and knowledge construction, and to relate them to the media and aesthetic resources of series for practices of positioning.

Through the themes of social class and heroism, this thesis aims to analyse how HBO's "Rome" tells stories of war without relying on showing the actual war, but rather focusing on its preparation and consequences.

Serialized storytelling provides intriguing opportunities for critical representations of age and aging. In contrast to the finite character of films, television narratives can unfold across hundreds of episodes and multiple seasons. Contemporary viewing practices and new media technologies have resulted in complex television narratives, in which experimental temporalities and revisions of narrative linearity and chronological time have become key features. As the first of its kind, this volume investigates how TV series as a powerful cultural medium shape representations of age and aging, such as in »Orange Is The New Black«, »The Wire« or »Desperate Housewives«, to understand what it means to live in time. »Die Darstellung des menschlichen Alterungsprozesses sowie von alten Menschen in den Narrativen des Mainstream-Fernsehens ist häufig unkonventionell - gleichzeitig jedoch wird diese Neuartigkeit immer noch mit stereotypen Elementen aufgeweicht. Es ist ein großer Verdienst dieser Publikation, dass in den elf durchweg sehr guten Aufsätzen beide Aspekte differenziert herausgearbeitet werden.« Vincent Fröhlich, MEDIENwissenschaft, 4 (2016) »The book can thus be read as a first step in this direction, and it clearly outlines the desiderata to be dealt with in future studies.« Andreas Hudelist, www.theaterforschung.de, 08.04.2016 Besprochen in: tv diskurs, 1 (2017), Lothar Mikos

The essays collected in this new volume reveal Isaiah Berlin at his most lucid and accessible. He was constitutionally incapable of writing with the opacity of the specialist, but these shorter, more introductory pieces provide the perfect starting-point for the reader new to his work. Those who are already familiar with his writing will also be grateful for this further addition to his collected essays. The connecting theme of these essays, as in the case of earlier volumes, is the crucial social and political role--past, present and future--of ideas, and of their progenitors. A rich variety of subject-matters is represented--from philosophy to education, from Russia to Israel, from Marxism to romanticism--so that the truth of Heine's warning is exemplified on a broad front. It is a warning that Berlin often referred to, and provides an answer to those who ask, as from time to time they do, why intellectual history matters. Among the contributions are "My Intellectual Path," Berlin's last essay, a retrospective autobiographical survey of his main preoccupations; and "Jewish Slavery and Emancipation," the classic statement of his Zionist views, long unavailable in print. His other subjects include the Enlightenment, Giambattista Vico, Vissarion Belinsky, Alexander Herzen, G.V. Plekhanov, the Russian intelligentsia, the idea of liberty, political realism, nationalism, and historicism. The book exhibits the full range of his enormously wide expertise and demonstrates the striking and enormously engaging individuality, as well as the power, of his own ideas. "Over a hundred years ago, the German poet Heine warned the French not to underestimate the power of ideas: philosophical concepts nurtured in the stillness of a professor's study could destroy a civilization."--Isaiah Berlin, Two Concepts of Liberty, 1958. This new edition adds a number of previously uncollected pieces, including Berlin's earliest statement of the pluralism of values for which he is famous.
