V&R unipress GmbH Parodistische Konstellationen von
Book SynopsisIf the culture of remembrance of National Socialism and the Holocaust is to be more than the political clearing away of past guilt, it must be relevant to the present and compatible with the media-cultural memory of current generations. The objects from literature, film, art and comics examined here (Christian Kracht: Faserland, Thomas Meinecke: Hellblau, Alexander Kluge/Gerhard Richter: December, Quentin Tarantino: Inglourious Basterds, Jean-Luc Godard: Histoire(s) du cinéma, Zbigniew Libera: Lego. Concentration Camp, Walter Moers: Adolf. Äch bin wieder da!!, Der Bonker) form a poetics of parodic constellations that recognize the historical catastrophe of the Holocaust as radical alterity and make it visible in its unavailability using pop-cultural and post-modern methods and makes accessible. The parodic constellations aimed at discursive opening thus refute the apparent incompatibility of pop culture/postmodernism and the culture of remembrance.

V&R unipress GmbH Ost-westlicher Kulturtransfer in der deutschsprachigen Kinder- und Jugendliteratur
Book SynopsisDer Band erkundet den wenig beachteten kulturellen Transfer in der deutschsprachigen Kinder- und Jugendliteratur und ihren Medien mit Mittel-, Südost- und Osteuropa. Es wird der Frage nachgegangen, wie sich der Austausch auf dem Buchmarkt vollzieht und wie kinder- und jugendliterarische Texte dabei sprachlich, diskursiv oder ideologisch adaptiert werden. Ins Blickfeld rücken die Semantik und Pragmatik des Übersetzens, die Rolle von multilingualen Vermittler: innen sowie mediale Aspekte der Illustrationskunst. Die Beiträge diskutieren kulturelle Aneignungsprozesse und Asymmetrien, die Spezifik bilateraler Literaturbeziehungen sowie die Wirkungsgeschichte einzelner Werke.The volume explores the cultural transfer in German Children's and Young Adult Literature with Central, Southeastern and Eastern Europe. So far, this process has received little attention. The volume therefore aims to provide insight into the complex circulation of literature on the book market and into the linguistic, discursive or ideological adaptation of the texts for children und young adults. In detail, it charts the processual logic of both selection and translation, the role of multilingual literary ambassadors and the aspects of illustration practice. The thorough analysis of cultural intersections and asymmetries allows conclusions about the popularity of certain works, the dynamics of their reception, and, above all, the specificity of literary relations.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht Sophistication: Zwischen Denkstil und Pose
Book SynopsisThere was always a promise of liberation in pop. But his anti-hierarchical moment was counteracted by his loudest advocates in the Federal Republic of the 80s. At that time, authors such as Diedrich Diederichsen, Rainald Goetz or Thomas Meinecke developed the pop-intellectual, performative discourse form of Sophistication, which juggled allusion with exquisite educational fruits from high and popular culture. Their witty combination of criticism and aesthetics was at the same time a proven elitistic means of narcissistic distinction. As a self-staging technique that relied on the weapons of taste, as the first fundamental analysis of this form of communication shows, it was closer to the exclusionist bourgeois habit of sophistication and the intellectual aristocratic attitude of some conservative revolutionaries of the interwar period than their representatives, who like to take on the politically progressive side, were closer On the rubble of the bourgeois cultural canons, which were attacked by the countercultures of the 1960s and 1970s, the new educated bourgeoisie of pop did not build comprehensive schools, but private boarding schools for those taste elites who could afford the school fees to be paid in the form of pop intellectual knowledge capital.

BIS Publishers B.V. Storytelling on Steroids: 10 stories that
Book SynopsisStorytelling is pop culture’s `weapon’ of choice to connect, engage and ultimately convince. Every TV ad a compelling movie? Every Facebook post a contagious piece of content? Every infographic a work of art? Yes, please. Tell me where to sign up! Right now, this very minute, a junior copywriter is adding “storyteller” to his Facebook profile. There is a gaming developer doing the same on LinkedIn. A PR agent is casually including “teller of stories” in his Twitter bio. Graphic designers, journalists, editors, broadcasters, coders, model makers, set designers, ginormous brands, ocean explorers, astronauts, schoolteachers, CEOs, marketing directors, creative consultants and trend watchers are peppering their websites, blogs and email signatures with the word “storytelling.” In Storytelling on Steroids, editor and adman John Weich finds out why. Where did all this storytelling come from? Why are so many professionals suddenly so eager to spread the storytelling gospel? And who blazed the trail for an Age of Storytelling in mainstream communication? In his compact, fast-moving book, Weich explores the iconic brands, cultural movements and social technologies that have contributed most to storytelling’s rise in mainstream creativity and communication. Along the way, he calls out countless pop culture darlings to make his case: Batman, Banksy, Tomb Raider, TED Talks, Radiohead, Jay-Z, BMW and New York Times infographics. He even raves about a powerful little campaign about the worst hotel in the world. What we’re experiencing isn’t a radical new movement but a storytelling renaissance, one fueled by addictive technologies, the abundance of choice and … you! You and the billion others engaged in the most massive and shamelessly personal storytelling experiment in the history of humankind: social media.Trade Review"Need to enhance your brand's performance? Take this steroid.” - Rob Schwarz, Global Creative President TWBA Worldwide "Storytelling on Steroids will give even the most ad-hardened civilians a great insight into how the modern world works." - Wallpaper magazine "John Weich has written an exceptionally well crafted book that delves into the motivation, craft, timing, culture, mechanics and myths of modern storytelling. By drilling down into specific case studies, he's provided insight to inspire rather than a roadmap to mindlessly follow. A must read for those looking to create and connect in this space." - Susan Bonds, CEO & Founder, 42 Entertainment
