The use of literary texts in language classrooms is firmly
established, but new questions arise with the transfer to remote
teaching and learning. How do we teach literature online? How do
learners react to being taught literature online? Will new genres
emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic? Is the literary canon changing?
This volume celebrates the vitality of literary and pedagogic
responses to the pandemic and presents research into the phenomena
observed in this evolving field. One strand of the book discusses
literary outputs stimulated by the pandemic as well as past
pandemics. Another strand looks at the pedagogy of engaging
learners with literature online, examining learners of different
ages and of different proficiency levels and different educational
backgrounds, including teacher education. Finally, a third strand
looks at the affordances of various technologies for teaching
online and the way they interact with literature and with language
learning. The contributions in this volume take literature teaching
online away from static lecturing strategies, present numerous
options for online teaching, and provide research-based grounding
for the implementation of these pedagogies.
Among the many myths about the relationship of Nazism to the mass
of the German population, few proved more powerful in postwar West
Germany than the notion that the Wehrmacht had not been involved in
the crimes of the Third Reich. Former generals were particularly
effective in spreading, through memoirs and speeches, the legend
that millions of German soldiers had fought an honest and "clean"
war and that mass murder, especially in the East, was entirely the
work of Himmler's SS. This volume contains the most important
contributions by distinguished historians who have thoroughly
demolished this Wehrmacht myth. The picture that emerges from this
collection is a depressing one and raises many questions about why
"ordinary men" got involved as perpetrators and bystanders in an
unprecedented program of extermination of "racially inferior" men,
women, and children in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union during
the Second World War. Those who have seen these terrible photos of
mass executions and other atrocities, currently on show in an
exhibition in Germany and soon to be in the United States, will
find this volume most enlightening.
