Acta Germanica - German Studies in Africa (English, German, Paperback, New edition)

Die Schwerpunkte des 50. Bandes sind vielfaltig und reichen von der Analyse einer Reihe literarischer Texte aus unterschiedlichen theoretischen Perspektiven uber die Bewertung des Sprachgebrauchs in verschiedenen soziopolitischen Kontexten bis hin zu Untersuchungen des DaF-Unterrichts und der DaF-Theorie in Sudafrika und anderswo. Literarische Werke von Uwe Timm, Joseph Roth, Dirk Fleck, Daniel Kehlmann, Sharon Dodua Otoo, Grete von Urbanitzky, Natascha Wodin und Mithu Sanyal werden aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven betrachtet. Die jeweiligen Beitrage berucksichtigen unter anderem, wie kulturelles und autobiografisches Gedachtnis zum Ausdruck kommt. Postkoloniale Perspektiven und OEko-Kritik bilden weitere Ansatze, wie auch das Werk von Bruno Latour. Schliesslich werden Genretypologien und auch die Herausforderungen der UEbersetzung analysiert. Der Sprachgebrauch in der Medienberichterstattung und in der Politik sowie eine vergleichende Untersuchung sprachlicher Weltanschauungen bilden die Beitrage zur Sprachwissenschaft. The focus of the 50th volume is diverse, covering a spectrum from the analysis of a number of literary texts from a variety of theoretical perspectives, to the evaluation of language use in different socio-political contexts and examinations of DaF-teaching and theory both in South Africa and elsewhere. Literary works by Uwe Timm, Joseph Roth, Dirk Fleck, Daniel Kehlmann, Sharon Dodua Otoo, Grete von Urbanitzky, Natascha Wodin and Mithu Sanyal are examined from different perspectives. The respective contributions consider, among other things, how cultural and autobiographical memory is expressed. Postcolonial perspectives and ecocriticism represent further approaches, as does the work of Bruno Latour. Finally, genre typologies and the challenges of translation are analysed. Language use in media reporting and politics, as well as a comparative study of linguistic worldviews represent the contributions to language studies.
