Examines, then employs the metaphor of cultural impact in an effort
to understand how culture works in the German-speaking world. How
to gauge the impact of cultural products is an old question, but
bureaucratic agendas such as the one recently implemented in the UK
to measure the impact of university research (including in German
Studies) are new. Impact isseen as confirming a cultural product's
value for society -- not least in the eyes of cultural funders. Yet
its use as an evaluative category has been widely criticized by
academics. Rather than rejecting the concept of impact, however,
this volume employs it as a metaphor to reflect on issues of
transmission, reception, and influence that have always underlain
cultural production but have escaped systematic conceptualization.
It seeks to understand how culture works in the German-speaking
world: how writers and artists express themselves, how readers and
audiences engage with the resulting products, and how academics are
drawn to analyze this dynamic process. Formulating such questions
afresh in the context of German Studies, the volume examines both
contemporary cultural discourse and the way it evolves more
generally. It links such topics as authorial intention, readerly
reception, intertextuality, andmodes of perception to less commonly
studied phenomena, such as the institutional practices of funding
bodies, that underpin cultural discourse. Contributors: David
Barnett, Laura Bradley, Rebecca Braun, Sarah Colvin, Anne Fuchs,
Katrin Kohl, Karen Leeder, Jurgen Luh, Jenny McKay, Ben Morgan,
Gunther Nickel, Chloe Paver, Joanne Sayner, Matthew Philpotts, Jane
Wilkinson. Rebecca Braun is Executive Dean of the College of Arts,
Social Sciences, & Celtic Studies at the National University of
Ireland in Galway and Lyn Marven is Lecturer in German at the
University of Liverpool.
