Publication Access status: Open Access , Wirklichkeitsmodelle und Postfaktizität(2023)The aim of this thesis is to set up a differentiated, media-epistemological description model, with the help of which the moralizing perceptions of a post-factual assertion logic are countered. Descriptive programs structured purely in binary logic fail when attempting to adequately explain current states of reality. The search is therefore on for an epistemological middle position that takes the compositional differential order of media texts as a model. Only with this can the recently eroding fact-/fiction-relationship be reconciled. To this end, the study links media-philosophical and media-epistemological issues with media-analytical methods. The significance of this study lies in the dissolution of excluding ideas with the help of a compositionally set up descriptive model.Source Type:Doctoral ThesisSeries:Reihe MedienwissenschaftenVolume number:212 10 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Publication Access status: Open Access , Populismus 2.0?(2020)In Zeiten von twitternden US-Präsidenten, Shitstorms, Cybermobbing und Fake-News, verbreitet über die beinahe omnipräsenten sozialen Medien, fällt die politische Meinungsbildung zunehmend schwerer. Erst recht, wenn Politiker die neuen Möglichkeiten ungefilterter, beliebig skalierbarer Online-Kommunikation für populistische Agitation nutzen. Die vorliegende Publikation geht der Frage nach, ob soziale Medien Populismus befördern und damit die Polarisierung politischer Diskurse begünstigen. Dafür wird die Twitter-Kommunikation aller Bundestagsabgeordneten im Vorfeld der Europawahl 2019 mittels kritischer Diskursanalyse nach Siegfried Jäger (2012) untersucht, wobei das Untersuchungsinstrument um ein neu entwickeltes, auf soziale Medien zugeschnittenes Analyseinstrument zur Erkennung von Elementen des populistischen Diskurses erweitert wird.Source Type:BookSeries:Reihe MedienwissenschaftenVolume number:2014 13 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Publication Access status: Open Access , Die argumentative Funktion und Geltung naturwissenschaftlicher Rekurse bei Friedrich Kittler(2020)Medienwissenschaften kommen als kritisch-theoretische oder soziologisch-empirische Untersuchung von Kommunikationstechnologie nicht umhin, mit natur-, geistes- und sozialwissenschaftlichen Konzepten zu operieren. Welche Probleme solch disziplinäres Grenzgängertum mit sich bringen kann, zeigte die berüchtigte Sokal-Affäre, im Zuge derer der „elegante Unsinn“, der in der geisteswissenschaftlichen Postmoderne mit Rekursen auf Mathematik und Naturwissenschaften getrieben wird, ins kritische Scheinwerferlicht rückte. Wie und wann beziehen sich Medienwissenschaftler auf Naturwissenschaften und was bedeutet das für eine Disziplin, deren Curricula keinerlei mathematische Ausbildung vorsehen? Am Beispiel des Werkes Friedrich Kittlers diskutiert diese Arbeit, wie naturwissenschaftliche Rekurse in den Medienwissenschaften nicht nur wegen eines notwendig interdisziplinären Gegenstandes, sondern mit argumentativ-diskursiver Funktion, und damit zumindest potentiell missbräuchlich im Sinne Sokals, eingesetzt werden.Source Type:Master ThesisSeries:Reihe MedienwissenschaftenVolume number:195 12 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Publication Access status: Open Access , Die Inszenierung von Autorschaft bei Uwe Timm(2020)This dissertation addresses the question of how authorship is presented in the works of Uwe Timm. To explore this issue, four different “accompanying” genres have been considered: journals and newspapers, travel writings, autobiographies and poetic lectures, all of which are to be understood as “Media of Authorship” according to Urs Meyer. The discussion revolves around two aspects, the forms of media on the one hand, and the representational techniques on the other. Through Pierre Bourdieu’s concept of literary field and habitus, Uwe Timm’s multiple author images have been highlighted: the politically engaged author, the author as an ethnologist, the author as a memory worker of the collective memory and the author as a storyteller.Source Type:Doctoral ThesisSeries:Reihe MedienwissenschaftenVolume number:181 46 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Publication Access status: Open Access , Dubrovnik intermedial(2020)Ragusa, now Dubrovnik, is unique. The city republic was independent for over six centuries (between 1204 and 1808) in the midst of the great powers of Venice/Austria-Hungary/Ottoman Empire. Although even Shakespeare (1564-1616) knew of Illyria (Ragusa), as seen in the comedy Twelfth Night (1623), interest in Ragusa in the German-speaking world only awakened in the 19th century. Napoleon (1769-1821) was to blame for this: in 1808 the Republic of Ragusa was abolished by the Napoleonic Marshal Marmont (1774-1852). In 1815, after the fall of Napoleon, at the Congress of Vienna, it was awarded to the Habsburg Monarchy and remained an integral part of the Illyrian Province until the end of the First World War. From the beginning of the 19th century, there was an increased interest in the former Republic of Ragusa in German-speaking countries, also reflected in literary circles. While in the previous centuries it was described as an idyllic place, as for example by Marin Držić (1508-1567), William Shakespeare or Ivan Gundulić (1589-1638), 19th century authors preferred to see it as a place of catastrophe: At the beginning of the novella Der Findling (1811) by Heinrich von Kleist (1777-1811) and in the dramatic narrative Marino Caboga (1814) by Achim von Arnim (1781-1831). And how is it today? Since the 19th century Dubrovnik has been a tourist and media metropolis, as shown by Hermann Bahr (1863-1934) and Miroslav Krleža (1893-1981), but also by the US series Game of Thrones (2011-2019). So, it is not only since today that Dubrovnik has been contributing to a global history of literature, culture and media. The book follows this media history of Dubrovnik.Source Type:BookSeries:Reihe MedienwissenschaftenVolume number:172 10 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Publication Access status: Open Access , Crossover literature and age in crisis at the turn of the 21st century : Harry Potter’s kidults and the Twilight moms(2018)At the turn of the 21st century, the widely visible popularity of children’s and young adult literature with adult readers lead literary and social critics to ask whether the inhabitants of Western culture were refusing to grow up. Whilst books had been crossing over the line between the adult and children’s book market ever since the separation into two markets had been introduced, the perceived rise in this traffic led to a felt crisis concerning age and identity. At the example of the Harry Potter and the Twilight novels, Maria Verena Peters analyzes the discourse about childhood, coming of age and adulthood inside and outside the pages of children’s and young adult literature as the 20th century came to an end and a new millennium was beginning. Her analysis suggests that this discourse was determined by an anxiety that without the patriarchal, heterosexual, nuclear family, age cannot serve to produce meaningful identity categories. Beyond the policing of gender and sexuality, the discourse of age in crisis – as the examples of Harry Potter’s kidults and the Twilight moms serve to show – also functions to naturalize notions of class and consumption. In addition to the prominent two novel series of the title, the PhD thesis covers a wide range of popular culture artefacts, from Near Dark to Buffy the Vampire Slayer and from The Big Bang Theory to Hotter than my Daughter. It builds upon key findings of fan studies to uncover the intersectionality of age, gender, class and consumption in the marketing, reception and critique of children’s and young adult literature.Source Type:Doctoral ThesisSeries:Reihe MedienwissenschaftenVolume number:156 44 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Publication Access status: Open Access , Paragone 1900 : Studien zum Futurismus(2018)The twentieth century can be defined as a new century of insecurity and uncertainty. Within media studies, people often speak about a crisis of gestures and movement in pictures and texts at the beginning of the 20th century, which accompanies the development of the new media. This refers to a new paragone, a comparison of the old arts and the new media, as can be observed in the First Italian Futurism (1909–1918). The new media photography and film compete with the much older arts painting and sculpture. In this intermedial and comparative study, the author analyzes the new technical and medial developments as a change in perceptual patterns in Italian Futurism and in the artistic developments which followed.Source Type:HabilitationSeries:Reihe MedienwissenschaftenVolume number:145 21 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Publication Access status: Open Access , Weiblichkeit und nationales Selbstverständnis : die Darstellung der Frau und ihre Funktion in der vietnamesischen Filmkunst von den 60er Jahren bis heute(2018)The Second Indochina War (the so-called ’Vietnam War’) and its consequences are an omnipresent theme in Vietnamese cinema. As such, Vietnamese film can be seen as a counterpart to western, especially American war film. This study deals with Vietnamese film from its beginnings to the present. It provides an overview of characteristics of Vietnamese cinema with a special focus on the unique conception and constellation of characters, which forms a clear contrast to the concepts found in western (war) movies. On the basis of an analysis of Vietnamese culture and history and analyses of selected film examples, the author seeks to explain the large number of female heroes and discusses whether the Vietnamese films under investigation can be considered examples of ’feminist film’.Source Type:Doctoral ThesisSeries:Reihe MedienwissenschaftenVolume number:134 8 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Publication Access status: Open Access , Ein Jahrhundert der Verunsicherung : medienkomparatistische Analysen(2017)According to Susan Sontag, the 20th century ”was born and died in Sarajevo“. After the two World Wars, the Cold War and the Yugoslav War, this fact seems to be relevant through the whole of Europe. It shows its implications in the aesthetics of terror. The book primarily analyses works from the Alps-Adriatic region, which use these aesthetics as an anticipation, as an explanation, as a warning, as an appeal (works by Stefan Zweig, Gabriele d´Annunzio, Miroslav Krleža, Thomas Mann, Roman Polanski, Władysław Szpilman, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Michelangelo Antonioni, Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Tarsem Singh, Derek Jarman, Giuseppe Tornatore, Ferdinand von Schirach, Slavenka Drakulić, Jasmila Žbanić, Danis Tanović, Oliviero Toscani, U2). These various works unmask the 20th century as a successor to the 16th century, as a century of insecurity and uncertainty.Source Type:HabilitationSeries:Reihe MedienwissenschaftenVolume number:122 14 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Publication Crossover Literature and Age in Crisis at the Turn of the 21st Century(2018-05-30)At the turn of the 21st century, the widely visible popularity of children’s and young adult literature with adult readers lead literary critics and cultural commentators to ask whether the inhabitants of Western culture were refusing to grow up.
