Die Arbeit beschaftigt sich mit Viktor Pelevins Roman Capaev i Pustota und ruckt dabei die literarischen Verfahren des Autors, die seinen Schreibstil charakterisieren, in den Mittelpunkt der Analyse. Auf der inhaltlichen Ebene des Romans wird die das Bewusstsein krank machende Wirkung der Medien aufgezeigt. In der asthetischen Form des Romans werden dagegen Strategien des Buddhismus verwirklicht, die als heilende Gegenmassnahme verstanden werden koennen. Methodisch geht die Arbeit zunachst werkimmanent vor und greift dabei auf die kommunikationstheoretisch fundierte Narratologie zuruck. Abschliessend wird der Roman im Ganzen als "literar-buddhistisch gepragter Antimedienroman" charakterisiert.

Im Rahmen der Debatte um Kompetenzen seit den PISA-Testungen 2000 und den sich anschliessenden Bildungsreformen will diese Arbeit den Entwicklungen im Bereich der schulischen Vermittlung und UEberprufung von Kenntnissen und Fahigkeiten am Beispiel literarischen Lernens nachgehen. Die Auseinandersetzung gilt zunachst der Frage nach einem tragfahigen Bildungsbegriff oeffentlicher Schulen im Spannungsfeld von Bildungstheorie, empirischer Bildungsforschung und bildungspolitischer Steuerung. In einem weiteren Schritt werden Chancen und Grenzen der empirischen wie fachdidaktischen Modellierung literarischer Rezeptionskompetenz beleuchtet. Vor diesem Hintergrund gibt die Untersuchung von Prufaufgaben fur den Mittleren Schulabschluss im Fach Deutsch Auskunft uber die bildungsadministrative Auslegung von Kompetenz im Umgang mit literarischen Texten. Im Anschluss werden Lernaufgaben aus Deutschlehrwerken fur die 10. Klasse auf ihre Konzeptualisierungen literarischer Kompetenz hin analysiert. Dabei lasst sich eine deutliche Ruckwirkung der Einfuhrung von Bildungsstandards und einer neuen Test- und Prufaufgabenkultur auf die Didaktisierung literarischen Lernens nachzeichnen.

Die Entwicklung der elektronischen Medien hat in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten den universitaren Alltag grundlegend verandert. Das gilt wohl in besonderem Masse fur die Forschung; unberuhrt von diesen Entwicklungen ist aber auch die Lehre nicht geblieben. Ein besonders wirksames Zauberwort dieser jungeren Entwicklung lautet eLearning. Damit verbinden sich Hoffnungen ganz unterschiedlicher Art, von einem hoeheren Mass an Anschauung uber motivationale Effekte bis hin zu mehr Eigenstandigkeit in der Aneignung von Wissen auf der Seite der Lernenden. Nach der anfanglichen Euphorie haben sich aber zunehmend auch kritische Stimmen zu Wort gemeldet. Welche Rolle die Neuen Medien fur die Erzeugung und Vermittlung mediavistischen Wissens spielen koennen, danach fragt dieser Band.

The school curriculum is a contested arena. There are competing pressures from those who advocate that it should be constructed on a subject specific basis, whereas at the other end of the continuum is the stance taken by this book, that learning, and especially learning in the arts, can transcend artificial boundaries between subjects. This book sets out a case for cross-curricular learning involving the arts in secondary schools.

Cross-Curricular Teaching and Learning in the Secondary School...The Arts argues for the development of a new, skilful pedagogy which embeds an authentic, cross-curricular approach to teaching and learning in the work of the individual teacher. Teachers are empowered to think about creative pedagogies, and pupils are able to engage in deep learning as a result.

Key features of the text include:

• theoretical examination of key issues
• curriculum planning materials and resources
• a wide range of case studies drawn from innovative practise
• frameworks for assessment and evaluation.

Part of the Cross-Curricular Teaching and Learning in the Secondary School series, this textbook breaks the boundaries between curriculum subjects and the arts. It is timely reading for all students on Initial Teacher Training courses as well as practising teachers looking to introduce cross-curricular themes in their own subjects.
