Narrative in Culture (Paperback): Astrid Erll, Roy Sommer Narrative in Culture (Paperback)
Astrid Erll, Roy Sommer

The collection showcases new research in the field of cultural and historical narratology. Starting from the premise of the 'semantisation of narrative forms' (A. Nunning), it explores the cultural situatedness and historical transformations of narrative, with contributors developing new perspectives on key concepts of cultural and historical narratology, such as unreliable narration and multiperspectivity. The volume introduces original approaches to the study of narrative in culture, highlighting its pivotal role for attention, memory, and resilience studies, and for the imagination of crises, the Anthropocene, and the Post-Apocalypse. Addressing both fictional and non-fictional narratives, individual essays analyze the narrative-making and unmaking of Europe, Brexit, and the Postcolonial. Finally, the collection features new research on narrative in media culture, looking at the narrative logic of graphic novels, picture books, and newsmedia.

Alongside the recent cultural turn in the humanities, there has been a noticeable return to ethical considerations. With regard to literature as well as other media, this has rekindled awareness of a tension, antagonism, or even disparity between ethics and aesthetics. This volume of articles takes a more systematic and cross-disciplinary approach to the widely mooted ethical turn in literature and other media than has been pursued so far. It brings together a wide range of critical perspectives from literary studies, media and cultural memory studies, and philosophy, tracing the complex and sometimes conflicting relationship between ethics and aesthetics in theoretical contexts and individual case studies as diverse as colonial architecture, nineteenth-century literary histories, and postmodern writing and art.

A Companion to Cultural Memory Studies (Paperback): Astrid Erll, Ansgar Nunning A Companion to Cultural Memory Studies (Paperback)
Astrid Erll, Ansgar Nunning; Contributions by Sara Young
R871 Discovery Miles 8 710 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This handbook represents the interdisciplinary and international field of "cultural memory studies" for the first time in one volume. Articles by renowned international scholars offer readers a unique overview of the key concepts of cultural memory studies. The handbook not only documents current research in an unprecedented way; it also serves as a forum for bringing together approaches from areas as varied as sociology, political sciences, history, theology, literary studies, media studies, philosophy, psychology, and neurosciences. "Cultural memory studies" - as defined in this handbook - came into being at the beginning of the 20th century, with the works of Maurice Halbwachs on memoire collective. In the course of the last two decades this area of research has witnessed a veritable boom in various countries and disciplines. As a consequence, the study of the relation of "culture" and "memory" has diversified into a wide range of approaches. This handbook is based on a broad understanding of "cultural memory" as the interplay of present and past in sociocultural contexts. It presents concepts for the study of individual remembering in a social context, group and family memory, national memory, the various media of memory, and finally the host of emerging transnational lieux de memoire such as 9/11.

Mediation, Remediation, and the Dynamics of Cultural Memory (Hardcover): Astrid Erll, Ann Rigney Mediation, Remediation, and the Dynamics of Cultural Memory (Hardcover)
Astrid Erll, Ann Rigney; Contributions by Laura Basu, Paulus Bijl
R4,064 Discovery Miles 40 640 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This collection of essays brings together two major new developments in cultural memory studies: firstly, the shift away from static models of cultural memory, where the emphasis lies on cultural products, in the direction of more dynamic models where the emphasis lies instead on the cultural and social processes involved in the ongoing production of shared views of the past; and secondly, the growing interest in the role of the media, and their role beyond that of mere storage, within these dynamics. The specific concern of this collection is linking the use of media to the larger socio-cultural processes involved in collective memory-making. The focus rests in particular on two aspects of media use: the basic dynamics of "mediation" and "remediation". The key questions are: What role do media play in the production and circulation of cultural memories? How do mediation, remediation and intermediality shape objects and acts of cultural remembrance? How can new, emergent media redefine or transform what is collectively remembered? The essays of this collection focus on social, historical, religious, and artistic media-memories. The authors analyze the memory-making impact of news media, the mediation and remediation of lieux de memoire, the medial representation of colonial and postcolonial, of Holocaust and Second World War memories, and finally the problematization of these very processes in artistic media forms, such as novels and movies.

Film und kulturelle Erinnerung (German, Hardcover): Astrid Erll, Stephanie Wodianka Film und kulturelle Erinnerung (German, Hardcover)
Astrid Erll, Stephanie Wodianka; Contributions by Sandra Berger, Julia Schutze
R6,621 Discovery Miles 66 210 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

It is only through certain forms of social use that media become "Media of collective memory." The phenomenon of a "Remembrance film," too (e.g. Das Leben der Anderen, Hotel Ruanda, On connaA(R)t la chanson ) only comes about in a plurimedial context with its incorporation into a complex systemic media network that makes it into a remembrance film through various forms of reference. The volume analyses film using the methodology of studies in cultural memory to reveal the functioning of these constellations.

This interdisciplinary series addresses the relation between media and cultural memory. Its publications study how media construct, store, and disseminate memory. The series' focus is on different media and technologies, such as text and image, the cinema and the new digital media, on transmediality, intermediality, and remediation, as well as on the social (and increasingly transnational and transcultural) contexts of mediated memory. The aim of the series is to provide a vibrant international platform for research and scholarly exchange in the field of media and memory studies. Manuscripts submitted to the series are peer reviewed by expert referees. The editors, Astrid Erll (Goethe-Universitat Frankfurt am Main) and Ansgar Nunning (Justus-Liebig-Universitat Giessen), are working with an international editorial board of renowned scholars: Aleida Assmann (Universitat Konstanz), Mieke Bal (University of Amsterdam), Vita Fortunati (University of Bologna), Richard Grusin (University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee), Udo Hebel (Universitat Regensburg), Andrew Hoskins (University of Glasgow), Wulf Kansteiner (Binghamton University), Alison Landsberg (George Mason University), Claus Leggewie (Kulturwissenschaftliches Institut Essen), Jeffrey Olick (University of Virginia), Susannah Radstone (University of South Australia), Ann Rigney (Utrecht University), Michael Rothberg (University of Illinois), Werner Sollors (Harvard University), Frederic Tygstrup (University of Copenhagen), Harald Welzer (Kulturwissenschaftliches Institut Essen) To learn more about the series, also visit us at the MSA conference in Madrid, June 25 - 28, 2019.

'Gedachtnis' und 'Erinnerung' sind Leitthemen in der Wissenschaft und im gesellschaftlich-politischen Diskurs. - Dieser Band bundelt die verschiedenen Theorien, Terminologien und Methoden aus der Forschung zum individuellen und kollektiven Gedachtnis und geht insbesondere den folgenden Fragen nach: Wie unterscheidet sich der Gedachtnisbegriff in Geschichts- und Sozialwissenschaften, Literaturwissenschaft und Psychologie? Auf welche Weise kann die gedachtnisbildende Wirkung von Literatur und anderen Medien beschrieben und analysiert werden? Welche Folgen hat die 'transkulturelle und transnationale Wende' in der Gedachtnisforschung? - Ziel des Bandes ist es, das kaum mehr uberschaubare Feld der interdisziplinaren und internationalen Gedachtnisforschung zu kartieren und insbesondere kulturhistorisch interessierten Literaturwissenschaftler/innen nutzliche Analysekategorien zur Verfugung zu stellen. - Fur die dritte Auflage wurde der Band uberarbeitet, erweitert und aktualisiert. p>
