| Title: (Dis)Orienting Media and Narrative Mazes |
| Series: Kultur- und Medientheorie |
| Edited by: Julia Eckel, Bernd Leiendecker, Daniela Olek, Christine Piepiorka |
| ISBN10-13: 3837623386 : 9783837623383 |
| (Dis)Orientation appears to be a phenomenon that is connected to media in numerous respects: today, finding your way in the world often means finding your way with the help of as well as within media, which in turn creates new virtual realms of (dis)orientation. This book deals with recent media technologies and structures (navigation devices, databases, transmediality) and unconventional narrative patterns (narrative complexity, plot twists, non-linearity), using the ambivalent concept of (dis)orientation as a shared focus to analyse various phenomena of contemporary media, thereby raising overarching questions about current mediascapes. |

| Title: (Re-)Framing the Arab/Muslim |
| Sub-title: Mediating Orientalism in Contemporary Arab American Life Writing |
| Series: Edition Kulturwissenschaft |
| By (author): Silke Schmidt |
| ISBN10-13: 3837629155 : 9783837629156 |
| Media depictions of Arabs and Muslims continue to be framed by images of camels, belly dancers, and dagger-wearing terrorists. But do only Hollywood movies and TV news have the power to frame public discourse? This interdisciplinary study transfers media framing theory to literary studies to show how life writing (re-)frames Orientalist stereotypes. The innovative analysis of the post-9/11 autobiographies "West of Kabul, East of New York", "Letters from Cairo", and "Howling in Mesopotamia" makes a powerful claim to approach literature based on a theory of production and reception, thus enhancing the multi-disciplinary potential of framing theory. |

"Although the book discusses only autobiographiesas an effective reframing tool, it stands out as an astounding monograph about Arab/Muslim American scholarship in general, and will be of use to diverse scholarsin pursuit of ethnic, transnational, and postcolonial studies." Ali A. Alhajji, Wiener Zeitschrift für die Kunde des Morgenlandes, 106 (2016)

| Title: »Love it or Loathe it« |
| Sub-title: Audience Responses to Tabloids in the UK and Germany |
| Series: Cultural Studies |
| By (author): Mascha K. Brichta |
| ISBN10-13: 3837618854 : 9783837618853 |
| Popular newspapers like the British "The Sun" and the German "Bild" regularly invite controversy over their morals and methods, power and responsibility, political and social impact. At best, their reporting is rejected as trivial, vulgar and tasteless; at worst, it is deemed hazardous to the workings of democratic society. Yet, the papers are able to attract large audiences, and contribute significantly to the daily lives of millions of readers. This book looks at popular newspapers from an audience point of view. Examining the crucial relationship between news and entertainment, it provides timely empirical evidence for the values tabloids really have for readers and modern day Britain and Germany. Contradicting common myths and stereotypes, the book calls for fresh perspectives on the popular media and their audiences.With a foreword by Peter Dahlgren, Lund University, Sweden. |

| Title: »Sicher in Kreuzberg« |
| Sub-title: Constructing Diasporas: Turkish Hip-Hop Youth in Berlin |
| Series: Kultur und soziale Praxis |
| By (author): Ayhan Kaya |
| ISBN10-13: 3933127718 : 9783933127716 |
| This book examines the construction and articulation of diasporic cultural identity among the Turkish working-class youth in Kreuzberg (Little Istanbul), Berlin. This work primarily suggests that the contemporary diasporic consciousness is built on two antithetical axes: particularism and universalism. The presence of this dichotomy derives from the unresolved historical dialogues that the diasporic youths experience between continuity and disruption, essence and positionality, tradition and translation, homogeneity and difference, past and future, 'here' and 'there', 'roots' and 'routes', and local and global. |

| Title: Active Audience |
| Sub-title: A New Materialistic Interpretation of a Key Concept of Cultural Studies |
| Series: Cultural Studies |
| By (author): Huimin Jin |
| ISBN10-13: 383761896X : 9783837618969 |
| Despite a number of retrospective works on cultural studies, to date no other book dedicates itself to the historical and theoretical examination of British cultural studies' engagement with the "active audience theory" of the Birmingham School and its legacies.However, this book is no mere reconstruction of active audience theory as Huimin Jin develops new theoretical insights initially through a critical review of Stuart Hall's classical model of "encoding/decoding" and close readings of David Morley's groundbreaking ethnographic audience studies. Questioning the discourse model of the active audience proposed by Hall and Morley, Jin elaborates a new materialistic concept of audiences for the twenty-first century. |

| Title: After the Storm |
| Sub-title: The Cultural Politics of Hurricane Katrina |
| Series: American Culture Studies |
| Edited by: Simon Dickel, Evangelia Kindinger |
| ISBN10-13: 3837628930 : 9783837628937 |
| "After the Storm" traces the cultural and political responses to Hurricane Katrina. Ever since Katrina hit the Gulf coast in 2005, its devastating consequences for the region, for New Orleans, and the United States have been negotiated in a growing number of cultural productions â among them Spike Lee's documentary film "When the Levees Broke", David Simon and Eric Overmyer's TV series "Treme", or Natasha Trethewey's poetry collection "Beyond Katrina". This book provides interdisciplinary perspectives on these and other approaches to Hurricane Katrina and puts special emphasis on the intersections of the categories race and class. |

| Title: Aged Young Adults |
| Sub-title: Age Readings of Contemporary American Novels and Films |
| Series: Aging Studies |
| By (author): Anita Wohlmann |
| ISBN10-13: 3837624838 : 9783837624830 |
| When Toula's father in "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" says to his daughter (age 30) "you look so old" or when Don DeLillo's protagonist (age 28) "feels old" in "Cosmopolis", these young characters are attributed an age awareness that has received little attention in age studies so far. Leaving aside chronological or biological dimensions of age, this study approaches age as a metaphoric practice, suggesting that "feeling old" is not to be taken literally but metaphorically. The book examines the cultural meanings of age and aging for characters who are in their twenties and thirties and challenges often-quoted labels such as late-coming-of-age story or perpetual adolescence. |

| Title: Animal Minds & Animal Ethics |
| Sub-title: Connecting Two Separate Fields |
| Series: Human-Animal Studies |
| Edited by: Klaus Petrus, Markus Wild |
| ISBN10-13: 3837624625 : 9783837624625 |
| Animal minds and animal ethics â different origins, connecting similarities. Philosophers working on questions of animal ethics usually draw on research into animal cognition and subscribe to strong positions regarding animal minds. Whereas philosophers interested in the question of animal minds sometimes draw ethical conclusions from the positions they argue for. In spite of such overlaps, these two areas of research have grown up separately. One reason for this separation stems from the institutional distinction between theoretical and practical philosophy.The principal aim of this anthology is to build bridges between the fields and different philosophical approaches of animal ethics and of animal minds and cognition. |

| Title: Art History and Fetishism Abroad |
| Sub-title: Global Shiftings in Media and Methods |
| Series: Image |
| Edited by: Gabriele Genge, Angela Stercken |
| ISBN10-13: 3837624110 : 9783837624113 |
| By focusing on the various modes and media of the fetishised object, this anthology shifts the debates on thingness into a new global art historical perspective. The contributors explore the attention given to those material images, in both artistic and cultural practice from the heyday of colonial expansion until today. They show that in becoming vehicles and agents of transculturality, so called "fetishes" take shape in the 17th to 19th century aesthetics, psychology and ethnography - and furthermore inspire a recent discourse on magical practice and its secular meanings requiring altered art historical approaches and methods. |
