Unter dem Rahmenthema Visionen und Illusionen fand am 4./5. April
2014 an der Universitat Goeteborg die 11. Arbeitstagung
schwedischer Germanistinnen und Germanisten Text im Kontext statt.
Der vorliegende Band versammelt ausgewahlte Beitrage, die in ihrer
Vielfalt zugleich einen Eindruck der Forschungsansatze und
-projekte der Germanistik in Schweden vermitteln. Das Spektrum der
Beitrage reicht von der Untersuchung fruhneuzeitlicher Kochbucher
zur Analyse des RAF-Manifests Die Rote Armee aufbauen; von der
Betrachtung der Sprachbiographie einer Spataussiedlerin zu
literaturwissenschaftlichen Textanalysen bzw. Interpretationen
jungerer Dramen von Christoph Hein, Simon Urbans Roman Plan D und
Pilgerinnenberichten uber den Jakobsweg. Eine Analyse des
Neologismus' "Sternenkind" und vergleichende Grammatikstudien
runden den Band ab. Die Begriffe Visionen und Illusionen
ermoeglichen Bruckenschlage zwischen Literaturwissenschaft und
Sprachwissenschaft und erscheinen nicht zuletzt aufgrund ihrer
gesellschaftlichen Dimension pradestiniert fur die OEffnung hin zu
kulturwissenschaftlichen Fragestellungen.
In Authenticating Whiteness: Karens, Selfies, and Pop Stars, Rachel
E. Dubrofsky explores the idea that popular media implicitly
portrays whiteness as credible, trustworthy, familiar, and honest,
and that this portrayal is normalized and ubiquitous. Whether on
television, film, social media, or in the news, white people are
constructed as believable and unrehearsed, from the way they talk
to how they look and act. Dubrofsky argues that this way of making
white people appear authentic is a strategy of whiteness, requiring
attentiveness to the context of white supremacy in which the
presentations unfold. The volume details how ideas about what is
natural, good, and wholesome are reified in media, showing how
these values are implicitly racialized. Additionally, the project
details how white women are presented as particularly authentic
when they seem to lose agency by expressing affect through
emotional and bodily displays. The chapters examine a range of
popular media-newspaper articles about Donald J. Trump, a selfie
taken at Auschwitz, music videos by Miley Cyrus, the television
series UnREAL, the infamous video of Amy Cooper calling the police
on an innocent Black man, and the documentary Miss
Americana-pinpointing patterns that cut across media to explore the
implications for the larger culture in which they exist. At its
heart, the book asks: Who gets to be authentic? And what are the
implications?
A broadly interdisciplinary study of the pervasive secrecy in
America cultural, political, and religious discourse.
The occult has traditionally been understood as the study of
secrets of the practice of mysticism or magic. This book broadens
our understanding of the occult by treating it as a rhetorical
phenomenon tied to language and symbols and more central to
American culture than is commonly assumed.
Joshua Gunn approaches the occult as an idiom, examining the ways
in which acts of textual criticism and interpretation are occultic
in nature, as evident in practices as diverse as academic
scholarship, Freemasonry, and television production. Gunn probes,
for instance, the ways in which jargon employed by various social
and professional groups creates barriers and fosters secrecy. From
the theory wars of cultural studies to the Satanic Panic that swept
the national mass media in the late 1980s and early 1990s, Gunn
shows how the paradox of a hidden, buried, or secret meaning that
cannot be expressed in language appears time and time again in
Western culture.
These recurrent patterns, Gunn argues, arise from a generalized,
popular anxiety about language and its limitations. Ultimately,
"Modern Occult Rhetoric" demonstrates the indissoluble relationship
between language, secrecy, and publicity, and the centrality of
suspicion in our daily lives.
Dieser thematische Sammelband enthalt Zwischenergebnisse aus
sprechwissenschaftlichen Forschungen und Praxisprojekten zur
Kommunikation zwischen fruhpadagogischen Fachkraften und Kindern in
Kindertageseinrichtungen. Der Fokus liegt dabei sowohl auf der
Analyse des Gesprachsverhaltens von Erzieherinnen und Kindern als
auch auf der Starkung von Sprachbildung und -foerderung. Untersucht
wird, wie authentische Gesprache zwischen Erzieherinnen und Kindern
verlaufen, worin sich Gesprachsfahigkeit von Erzieherinnen zeigt,
welche Bedeutung Sprachstandsfeststellungen haben und anderes mehr.
Aus den Erkenntnissen werden praxistaugliche Schulungsinhalte im
Sinne einer alltagsintegrierten Sprachbildung abgeleitet.
