Abstract

Welches Potenzial hat feministische Wissensproduktion für die kritische Medienforschung? In gegenwärtigen Medienkulturen sind die gesellschaftlich stets umkämpften Prozesse der Herstellung, Legitimierung, aber auch Transformation von Macht- und Herrschaftsverhältnissen unübersehbar mit medialen Repräsentationen, Technologien und Praktiken des Medienhandelns verwoben. Der Band stellt wegweisende Beiträge feministischer Theoriebildung (u.a. von Adrienne Rich, bell hooks, Donna Haraway und Judith Butler) vor, die von ausgewiesenen Autor_innen in ihrer Bedeutung für eine gesellschaftstheoretisch fundierte Medienforschung gewürdigt werden.

Abstract

In recent decades, what could be considered a gamification of the world has occurred, as the ties between games and activism, games and war, and games and the city grow ever stronger. In this book, Anne-Marie Schleiner explores a concept she calls 'ludic mutation', a transformative process in which the player, who is expected to engage in the preprogramed interactions of the game and accept its imposed subjective constraints, seizes back some of the power otherwise lost to the game itself. Crucially, this power grab is also relevant beyond the game because players then see the external world as material to be reconfigured, an approach with important ramifications for everything from social activism to contemporary warfare.

Abstract

Der Anspruch, Kommunikationswissenschaft als kritische Gesellschaftsanalyse zu betreiben, verbindet die Beiträge des Bandes in ihrer Auseinandersetzung mit Strukturen und Akteur_innen journalistischer Praxis. Statt sich mit dem Gegebenen abzufinden, werden angebliche Gewissheiten, Kategorisierungen und Dualismen hinterfragt. Das ermöglicht andere Perspektiven auf Medien und Öffentlichkeit, Journalismus, Geschlechter oder soziale Ungleichheit und zielt darauf ab, Handlungsspielräume zwischen Gegebenem und Möglichem sichtbar werden zu lassen.

Abstract

Reveals the diversity crisis in children's and young adult media as not only a lack of representation, but a lack of imagination. Stories provide portals into other worlds, both real and imagined. The promise of escape draws people from all backgrounds to speculative fiction, but when people of color seek passageways into the fantastic, the doors are often barred. This problem lies not only with children’s publishing, but also with the television and film executives tasked with adapting these stories into a visual world. When characters of color do appear, they are often marginalized or subjected to violence, reinforcing for audiences that not all lives matter. The Dark Fantastic is an engaging and provocative exploration of race in popular youth and young adult speculative fiction. Grounded in her experiences as YA novelist, fanfiction writer, and scholar of education, Thomas considers four black girl protagonists from some of the most popular stories of the early 21st century: Bonnie Bennett from the CW’s The Vampire Diaries, Rue from Suzanne Collins’s The Hunger Games, Gwen from the BBC’s Merlin, and Angelina Johnson from J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter. Analyzing their narratives and audience reactions to them reveals how these characters mirror the violence against black and brown people in our own world. In response, Thomas uncovers and builds upon a tradition of fantasy and radical imagination in Black feminism and Afrofuturism to reveal new possibilities. Through fanfiction and other modes of counter-storytelling, young people of color have reenvisioned fantastic worlds that reflect their own experiences, their own lives. As Thomas powerfully asserts, “we dark girls deserve more, because we are more.”
