Transdisziplinäre Popkulturstudien

Popkultur und politische Populismen stehen in einem komplexen Verhältnis zueinander: Popkultur ist Seismograph politischer Entwicklungen, Artikulationsraum politischer Positionen und eine wichtige Instanz für die Herausbildung politischer Identitäten. Die Beiträger*innen des Bandes fragen mit besonderer Dringlichkeit nach Wechselwirkungen, Passungen und Widersprüchen: In welcher Weise bedient sich einerseits der Populismus popkultureller Strategien, etwa zur Vermittlung politischer Botschaften oder zur Personalisierung von Inhalten? Wo und wie tragen andererseits popkulturelle Medientexte wie Musik, Film oder Literatur und popkulturelle Akteur*innen zur Entstehung und Verbreitung populistischer Positionen bei?

The concept of the Black Atlantic has been used to look at Black culture on all sides of the Atlantic in the context of migration, diaspora, and hybridity. This two-volume publication explores philosophical notions and aesthetic forms of temporality in the Black Atlantic. The authors trace a transnational political and aesthetic emancipation movement of intellectuals and artists from the 1930s to the 1980s and beyond.In the first volume, Gabriele Genge deals with artistic contributions in a transnational understanding of Négritude. She provides insights into a fundamental artistic interest in debating and transcending modern ideas about time. A transcultural horizon emerges that counters the racist and ethnological time regimes of modernity with polychronic manifestations of African thought and knowledge.

Societies and Political Orders in Transition

Romania is the sixth-largest country in the European Union by population. However, after decades of democratization and integration into the Euro-Atlantic organizations, many Romanian voters now seem willing to abandon this path of development. Does this change of direction indicate the beginning of a transition to a new era? This book summarizes how politics and society in Romania changed after the 1989 revolution and how these changes were connected to the country’s EU accession. It also examines old and new challenges. In doing so, it provides fresh insights into various research fields and issues. Readers interested in the extent to which politics can be guided by law will find relevant material here. The same applies to scholars who ask if political actors can effectively shape the development of a polity and society. The book is also relevant for those who seek to understand whether the EU has an impact on domestic politics and society in its member states, as suggested by debates about its “transforming power.”&nbsp;The editorsProf. Dr. Astrid Lorenz is a Professor of German and European Politics at Leipzig University, Germany. She leads an international project team that is researching the rule of law, including the case of Romania.Daniela-Maria Mariș is a PhD student of Political Science at Leipzig University, Germany, researching Romanian politics.

Politics and Society in Romania

This book investigates the history of the Protestant voting blocs and associations in the Irish border counties of Cavan, Donegal and Monaghan, from 1920 to 2016. While there are many studies on the history of Irish Unionism and Protestantism, there has been a lack of research concerning the political history of the Protestant community in the border counties following partition. Many Protestant Unionists in counties Cavan, Donegal, and Monaghan felt betrayed by their six county counterparts breaking the Ulster Covenant in abandoning a nine-county Northern Ireland. However, the Unionist Associations of these counties evolved after the implementation of the Anglo-Irish Treaty in 1922 and adapted to their new political environment by becoming ‘Protestant’ Associations. The author seeks to explore how these Associations were established, and how they reacted to political changes during the twentieth century. Arguing that Protestant Associations arose as a Unionist shock response to Ireland’s partition in 1922, the author demonstrates how they aimed to ensure their political representation and the maintaining of Protestant interests. Support for these associations dwindled over time due to demographic change, a decline in membership of the Orange Order, and the gradual erosion of Southern Protestantism as a separate political identity over the course of multiple generations. Shedding light on why these associations lasted until the twenty-first century, and then disbanded, this book examines how former Southern Unionists in the border counties evolved their political identity following partition.Samuel Beckton is a historian of Modern Irish History. He has studied at Trinity College Dublin, Queen's University Belfast, and Ulster University in the UK, and has taught at the latter.

Palgrave Studies in Comedy

The book is about comedy, the nation, and resistance in Zimbabwe, following the fall of Robert Mugabe in 2017. It explores how satiric comedies and comic texts in post-Mugabe Zimbabwe contest hegemonic narratives of the nation and authorise alternative narratives from the margins. Drawing on postcolonial theories of the nation, it analyses subversive comedies and social media texts that contest official political narratives in Zimbabwe, including the comedies of four Zimbabwean comedians—Kapfupi and Marabha, Doc Vikela, and Sabhuku Vharazipi—as well as social media texts on President Mnangagwa’s Facebook Page and cartoons published by the Zimbabwean newspaper ZimDaily. Primarily found via social media platforms (Facebook and Youtube), these texts centre alternative views and narratives of ordinary citizens, contesting established truths and providing a counter-narration to official hegemonic discourses of the nation.Where existing scholarship on post-Mugabe politics in Zimbabwe focuses on issues such as the coup, militarisation, and discourses of "newness", little attention has been paid to the forms of resistance used in everyday discourse by Zimbabweans, and particularly via satire and comedy. These comic texts, shared by comedians and normal citizens on social media, can provide a useful alternative perspective to make sense of the politics and political performances that characterize the new political dispensation after Mugabe.Rodwell Makombe is Professor in the Department of English at the North-West University, South Africa.

This nonfiction book addresses the question of what relevance religiosity still holds today and where psychologists set up warning signs. Religions today have a Janus-faced character: On the one hand, they offer emotional support and assistance (not only) in crisis situations – on the other hand, suicide attacks are carried out in their name, and under their guise, sexual abuse of children has flourished (or continues to do so). Religions have lost their innocence worldwide. But what exactly are religions? How did they arise? How have they changed over time? What are the positive aspects of religions – and what are the problematic ones? Where do they help, and where do they harm? What distinguishes them – and what do they have in common?Contents:Religions: World-explaining and meaning-making systems that almost always consider themselves the one true, eternal, and ultimate explanation system. – They structure diffuse, subjective inner truths and unstructured situations, attempting to make the incomprehensible comprehensible. – Basic trust, symbols, ritual actions. – What are spiritual enlightenment experiences? – The origin of all religions is fear, emptiness, meaninglessness, and death. – Religions are good guides in the dark of night – during the day, it’s better to rely on your own eyes.About the author:Werner Gross, Dipl.-Psych., psychotherapist, supervisor, and coach.

 Die New Yorkerin Liv Olsen war schon immer fasziniert von nordischer Mythologie. Als der jungen Kuratorin ein Job in Norwegen angeboten wird, zögert sie nicht. Vor Ort wird Liv vom Museumsdirektor in Empfang genommen: Tristan sieht aus wie die Sünde, und eisiger als sein Blick ist nur sein Charakter. Anstelle einer eigenen Unterkunft soll Liv in Tristans Villa einziehen. Auf engem Raum merkt Liv schnell, dass nichts ist, wie es scheint. Vor allem nicht ihr neuer Boss. Denn die alten Götter herrschen in Vonn, und Tristan ist einer von ihnen. Und seine Bestimmung ist, sie zu töten. Doch mit der ungeheuren Anziehung zwischen ihnen hat keiner gerechnet ...

I Want to Escape from Princess Lessons 02

On the eve of its subject's centennial, this richly illustrated and meticulously researched catalogue celebrates - and reconsiders - one of the most significant artistic movements of the twentieth century. Gustav F. Hartlaub's 1925 exhibition "Neue Sachlichkeit" (New Objectivity) for the Kunsthalle Mannheim was a pivotal event that showcased a new artistic movement in Germany, characterized by its critical realism, social commentary, and detailed depiction of contemporary life; it marked a significant departure from Expressionism's emotional intensity. But it was divided by two philosophies-the unflinching and socially critical Verists (Otto Dix, George Grosz, Georg Scholz, and others) and the Classicists (Alexander Kanoldt, Georg Schrimpf, and Christian Schad) who focused on harmony and beauty. This wide-ranging survey explores the tension between these camps and interprets it as a coherent chapter in art history. Essays by leading experts shed new light on the movement through the lens of regionality while considering a wide spectrum of media: architecture, design, drawings, film, paintings, photography, and philosophy. Their illuminating texts are accompanied by stunning reproductions of works such as Otto Dix's Portrait of the Lawyer Dr. Fritz Glaser; Georg Scholz's Of Things to Come; and Marcel Breuer's Chair B 33. Impeccably produced and researched, this volume captures the ways that the New Objectivity proponents mirrored the Weimar period's cultural, political, and social complexities.

Philosophy from Imperial Times to the End of Antiquity

The main objective of this book is to show that Porphyry extends moral concern to harmless living beings in his account of justice in On Abstinence. Miira Tuominen argues that while Porphyry shares some commonalities with the Platonists, Stoics and Theophrastus on the nature of justice, he develops an original notion of justice also attributing it to external actions. As an attribute of actions, justice consists in refraining from harming harmless animate creatures including animals and plants. Porphyry’s account is entangled with his polemic with opponents of vegetarianism and his quotations from other authors in that polemic. By unravelling these inner complexities of the treatise, this book shows the surprising modernity of his discussions.
