Unnatural Narratives - Unnatural Narratology (Hardcover): Jan Alber, Rudiger Heinze Unnatural Narratives - Unnatural Narratology (Hardcover)
Jan Alber, Rudiger Heinze
R7,278 Discovery Miles 72 780 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

In recent years, the study of unnatural narratives has become an exciting new but still disparate research program in narrative theory. For the first time, this collection of essays presents and discusses the new analytical tools that have so far been developed on the basis of unnatural novels, short stories, and plays and extends these findings through analyses of testimonies, comics, graphic novels, films, and oral narratives. Many narratives do not only mimetically reproduce the world as we know it but confront us with strange narrative worlds which rely on principles that have very little to do with the actual world around us. The essays in this collection develop new narratological tools and modeling systems which are designed to capture the strangeness and extravagance of such anti-realist narratives. Taken together, the essays offer a systematic investigation of anti-mimetic techniques and strategies that relate to different narrative parameters, different media, and different periods within literary history.

This collection considers new phenomena emerging in a convergence environment from the perspective of adaptation studies. The contributions take the most prominent methods within the field to offer reconsiderations of theoretical concepts and practices in participatory culture, transmedia franchises, and new media adaptations. The authors discuss phenomena ranging from mash-ups of novels and YouTube cover songs to negotiations of authorial control and interpretative authority between media producers and fan communities to perspectives on the fictional and legal framework of brands and franchises. In this fashion, the collection expands the horizons of both adaptation and transmedia studies and provides reassessments of frequently discussed (BBC's Sherlock or the LEGO franchise) and previously largely ignored phenomena (self-censorship in transnational franchises, mash-up novels, or YouTube cover videos).

Melting Pots & Mosaics - Children of Immigrants in US-American Literature (Paperback): Rudiger Heinze Melting Pots & Mosaics - Children of Immigrants in US-American Literature (Paperback)
Rudiger Heinze
R1,288 Discovery Miles 12 880 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

In the past decades, children of immigrants have drawn increased attention not only in press and media, but also in a number of academic fields, among them sociology, history, or ethnology. Surprisingly, literary and cultural studies have been somewhat more reluctant to approach the topic. While there is work on individual authors or, at the very most, particular ethnic groups, comparative approaches are rare. This monograph aims to amend this. It provides an extensive discussion of US-American literature about children of immigrants, comparing different authors, different ethnic groups and different literary and historical contexts.

Remakes and Remaking - Concepts - Media - Practices (Paperback): Rudiger Heinze, Lucia Kramer Remakes and Remaking - Concepts - Media - Practices (Paperback)
Rudiger Heinze, Lucia Kramer
R938 Discovery Miles 9 380 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

From "Avatar" to danced versions of "Romeo and Juliet", from Bollywood films to "Star Wars Uncut": This book investigates film remakes as well as forms of remaking in other media, such as ballet and internet fan art. The case studies introduce readers to a variety of texts and remaking practices from different cultural spheres. The essays also discuss forms of remaking in relation to neighbouring phenomena like the sequel, prequel and (re-)adaptation. "Remakes and Remaking" thus provides a necessary and topical addition to the recent conceptual scholarship on intermediality, transmediality and adaptation.
