Im dokumentarischen Film - und Film im Netz - agiert der Filmtext dramaturgisch als eine unsichtbare Nebenfigur. Das Publikum spurt einen JEMAND - gleich ob Autorin oder Sprecher - und reagiert auf den Text wie auf eine Person. Diese Person-Wirkung entsteht immer, auch unbeabsichtigt und unbewusst vonseiten der Autoren. Unbewusst und unbeabsichtigt kann sie dem Inhalt und der Dramaturgie eines Film aber erheblich schaden. Daher ist die Textperson als bewusst gewahlte und sprachlich gestaltete Rolle die kreativ-handwerkliche Loesung. Sie ermoeglicht Filmautoren eine dramaturgisch und inhaltlich spannungsreiche Steuerung ihres dokumentarischen Films. 14 Textperson-Typen stehen fur die relevanten journalistischen Aufgaben zur Verfugung. Ein Textperson-Profil ist das Werkzeug, um Formulierung, Charakter und dramaturgischen Kontrast einer das Publikum uberzeugenden plausiblen Textperson zu gestalten.

Orietta Da Rold provides a detailed analysis of the coming of paper to medieval England, and its influence on the literary and non-literary culture of the period. Looking beyond book production, Da Rold maps out the uses of paper and explains the success of this technology in medieval culture, considering how people interacted with it and how it affected their lives. Offering a nuanced understanding of how affordance influenced societal choices, Paper in Medieval England draws on a multilingual array of sources to investigate how paper circulated, was written upon, and was deployed by people across medieval society, from kings to merchants, to bishops, to clerks and to poets, contributing to an understanding of how medieval paper changed communication and shaped modernity.

An innovative study of books and reading that focuses on papermaking in the Renaissance In The Nature of the Page, Joshua Calhoun tells the story of handmade paper in Renaissance England and beyond. For most of the history of printing, paper was made primarily from recycled rags, so this is a story about using old clothes to tell new stories, about plants used to make clothes, and about plants that frustrated papermakers' best attempts to replace scarce natural resources with abundant ones. Because plants, like humans, are susceptible to the ravages of time, it is also a story of corruption and the hope that we can preserve the things we love from decay. Combining environmental and bibliographical research with deft literary analysis, Calhoun reveals how much we have left to discover in familiar texts. He describes the transformation of plant material into a sheet of paper, details how ecological availability or scarcity influenced literary output in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, and examines the impact of the various colors and qualities of paper on early modern reading practices. Through a discussion of sizing-the mixture used to coat the surface of paper so that ink would not blot into its fibers-he reveals a surprising textual interaction between animals and readers. He shows how we might read an indistinct stain on the page of an early modern book to better understand the mixed media surfaces on which readers, writers, and printers recorded and revised history. Lastly, Calhoun considers how early modern writers imagined paper decay and how modern scholars grapple with biodeterioration today. Exploring the poetic interplay between human ideas and the plant, animal, and mineral forms through which they are mediated, The Nature of the Page prompts readers to reconsider the role of the natural world in everything from old books to new smartphones.

In diesem Essential stehen jene im Rampenlicht, die sonst eher ein Schattendasein fristen: die Fuhrungskrafte aus der zweiten Reihe. Stellvertretern kommt eine Schlusselrolle zu, wenn der digitale Wandel in den Unternehmen gelingen soll. Sie verstehen eine Menge davon, Teams durch Kommunikation und Motivation, durch Delegation und Beteiligung zu steuern. Sie sind Experten fur laterale Fuhrung und damit die potenziell besten Change-Manager und Projektleiter. Doch zu selten koennen Stellvertreter ihre volle Wirkungsmacht entfalten, wie eine neue empirische Untersuchung zeigt, die Redaktionsleitungen regionaler Zeitungsverlage in Deutschland unter die Lupe genommen hat. Dabei ist "ideale Stellvertretung" kein Hexenwerk. Wer in den Paradoxien, die in dieser Rolle stecken, mehr Chancen als Gefahren sieht, kommt der Loesung schon ganz nah.

Ephemeral city explores the rapid rise of cheap print and how it permeated Venetian urban culture in the Renaissance. It offers the first view of one of the city's most productive and creative industries from the bottom up and a new and unexpected vision of Renaissance culture, characterised by the fluid mobility and dynamic intermingling of texts, ideas, goods and people. Closely intertwined with oral culture and often peddled in the streets, cheap printed texts helped to open up new audiences for literature, providing information and entertainment to a diverse public and transforming the city into an epicentre of vernacular literature and performance. Examining the ways in which the production and dissemination of cheap print infiltrated Venice's urban environment and changed the course of its cultural life, the book also traces how local authorities responded by escalating censorship and control over the course of the sixteenth century. Ephemeral city will be of interest to scholars and students of early modern European and Italian Renaissance culture and society and the history of the book and communication. -- .

Of all the cultural "revolutions" brought about by the development of printing technology during the sixteenth century, perhaps the most remarkable but least understood is the purported rise of European vernacular languages. It is generally accepted that the invention of printing constitutes an event in the history of language that has profoundly shaped modernity, and yet the exact nature of this transformation—the mechanics of the event—has remained curiously unexamined. In The Prosthetic Tongue, Katie Chenoweth explores the relationship between printing and the vernacular as it took shape in sixteenth-century France and charts the technological reinvention of French across a range of domains, from typography, orthography, and grammar to politics, pedagogy, and poetics. Under François I, the king known in his own time as the "Father of Letters," both printing and vernacular language emerged as major cultural and political forces. Beginning in 1529, French underwent a remarkable transformation, as printers and writers began to reimagine their mother tongue as mechanically reproducible. The first accent marks appeared in French texts, the first French grammar books and dictionaries were published, phonetic spelling reforms were debated, modern Roman typefaces replaced gothic scripts, and French was codified as a legal idiom. This was, Chenoweth argues, a veritable "new media" moment, in which the print medium served as the underlying material apparatus and conceptual framework for a revolutionary reinvention of the vernacular. Rather than tell the story of the origin of the modern French language, however, she seeks to destabilize this very notion of "origin" by situating the cultural formation of French in a scene of media technology and reproducibility. No less than the paper book issuing from sixteenth-century printing presses, the modern French language is a product of the age of mechanical reproduction.

Highlights the transformative impact that book publishers had on the modernist movement Publishing houses are nearly invisible in modernist studies. Looking beyond little magazines and other periodicals, this collection highlights the importance of book publishers in the diffusion of modernism. It also participates in the transnational turn in modernist studies, demonstrating that book publishers created new markets for modernist texts in the United States, Europe and the rest of the world. Key Features: The first volume on Anglo-American book publishers that sold difficult modernist texts to a wide range of readers around the world Sheds new light on the relationship between publishers and major modernist writers Includes essays of broad significance written in an accessible prose Draws on extensive work in neglected archives

Getrieben durch das steigende Interesse von Medien, Sponsoren und Fans ist der Spitzensport fur Trainer zu einem gnadenlosen Wettbewerb geworden. Zur Beschreibung ihrer Position untersucht Jonas Schutzeneder zunachst mithilfe einer quantitativen Inhaltsanalyse die mediale Darstellung von Trainern. Danach folgen eine quantitative Online-Befragung unter knapp 200 deutschen Sportjournalisten und Leitfaden-Interviews mit zwoelf Pressesprechern aus dem Spitzensport. Dieser Methoden-Mix ermoeglicht einen intensiven Einblick in die aktuellen Entwicklungen im Spitzensport und zeigt, dass Trainer (und nicht mehr die Spieler) die pragenden Gesichter eines Vereins sind. Medien koennen hingegen einen Trainer "ins Abseits schreiben" und seine Entlassung forcieren. Unter diesen Aspekten liefert die vorliegende Arbeit neue Erkenntnisse, die vor allem durch die kritische Reflexion der befragten Akteure greifbar werden.

Crossmedialitat - das Kreuzen der Medien - ist einer der grossen Trends im Journalismus und in der Unternehmenskommunikation. Inhalte werden uber mehrere Plattformen publiziert, Organisation, Planung, Recherche und Qualitatssicherung passen sich an. Medienkonvergenz wird von einem theoretischen Konzept zur Medienpraxis. Dieser Band beschreibt den crossmedialen Wandel und erfasst dessen Stand. Dies erfolgt sowohl auf theoretischer als auch auf empirischer Ebene. Zudem werden die Auswirkungen des crossmedialen Wandels auf die Rezeption von Medien empirisch beschrieben und Konzepte dargestellt.

A step-by-step guide to crafting a compelling scholarly book proposal-and seeing your book through to successful publication The scholarly book proposal may be academia's most mysterious genre.
