TY - JOUR A1 - Küttner, Uwe-Alexander T1 - Tying sequences together with the [that’s + wh-clause] format BT - on (retro-)sequential junctures in conversation JF - Research on language and social interaction N2 - This article explores a sequence organizational phenomenon that results from the use of a loosely specifiable turn format (viz., That's + wh-clause) for launching (next) sequences while at the same time connecting back to a prior turn. Using this practice creates a sequential juncture, i.e., a pivot-like nexus between one sequence and a next. In third position, such junctures serve to accomplish seamless sequential transitions from one sequence into a next by presenting the latter as locally occasioned. The practice may, however, also be deployed in second position to launch actions that have not been made relevant or provided for by the preceding action and exhibit response relevance themselves. The sequential junctures then become retro-sequential in character: They transform the projected trajectory of the sequence in progress and create interlocking sequential structures. These findings highlight that sequence is practice, while pointing to understudied interconnections between tying and sequentiality. Data are in English.

Wie aber realisiert sich diese Funktion in den einzelnen Fächern an der Universität Potsdam und welche Folgen ergeben sich für die Ausbildung der Lehramtsstudierenden ? Zur Beantwortung dieser Frage wurde eine Analyse der Verankerung der FTP in allen Studienordnungen hinsichtlich qualitativer (Inhalte und Ziele, Prüfungsformen, Belegungsvoraussetzungen) und quantitativer (Leistungspunkte, Semesterwochenstunden) Kriterien durchgeführt. Leitfadengestützte Interviews mit verantwortlichen Fachdidaktikerinnen und Fachdidaktikern dienten der Untersuchung der konkreten Umsetzung und der Relevanzzuschreibung. Ziel war es, durch das Zusammenführen beider Zugänge – der realiter existierenden Curricula, der individualisierten Praktiken sowie der subjektiven Überzeugungen – ein Verständnis eben jener „studienleitenden Funktion“ zu erlangen und anschließend Diskussions- und Handlungsfelder für die Weiterentwicklung des FTP herauszuarbeiten. N2 - The teaching internship (FTP) in the bachelor’s degree program has always been one core element of the Potsdam model of teacher education, which is assigned nothing less than a “study guiding function”. But how is this function interpreted and put into practice by the different departments of the University of Potsdam, and what are the consequences for the training of pre-service teachers ? In order to answer these questions, this article examines how the FTP is implemented in the study regulations with regard to qualitative criteria (contents and goals, forms of examination, requirements for enrollment) and quantitative criteria (credit points, workload). It also asks for the relevance of the FTP by conducting guided interviews with responsible lecturers. Combining both approaches – the analysis of existing curricula and the individualized practices as well as the subjective believes of the lecturers – we gain an understanding of the so-called “study guiding function” of the FTP and are thus able to elaborate areas for discussion for the development of the FTP.

Wilde's implicit ideas around world literature can be understood as being closely related to his broader endeavour of redirecting and revaluing the pejorative discourse around 'decadence' in art and literature. More specifically, the arch-aesthete preferred to use the word 'romance' rather than 'decadence' (a term he hardly used at all in his writings), signalling a sensitivity attuned to what he called the 'love of things impossible'. This reconceptualization of the decadent outlook was to inspire a critical ideal of literature which relied on creatively activating the other as Other, culminating in a vision of intersubjective, transcultural and unlimited literary communication. Wilde's thought can be more specifically understood as anticipating central tenets of Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak's evocations of the planetary, thus preparing the way for an alterity-oriented understanding of literary cosmopolitanism.

How are subject positions determined by the subject’s relationship to money and work? How fair is a society that predicates social inclusion upon employment? And what happens when full employment is impossible? The volume traces how literary authors and social theorists have answered these questions in different social and historical contexts from the nineteenth century to the present day. The contributions confront the imperatives of productivity, notions of success and failure, the construction of work cultures and environments, the (in)visibility of certain labour groups, and the implications of the body as a productive site.

Far from being merely fodder for horror, the characters significantly contribute to the generation of meaning, including that of the supernatural entity or phenomenon itself. The same holds for the narrators' (implicitly) political perspectives on the world of which they are part. Much of the perspective propounded in Lovecraft's cosmic horror stories partakes of myth, adopting in particular the latter's universal view and pronounced sidelining of humanity as a whole, which it intensifies to the point of horror. Appearances to the contrary notwithstanding, this universal perspective is consistent with the racism permeating and structuring Lovecraft's writing. Though eschewing racism and universalism, the cosmic horror of Kiernan's "Tidal Forces" negotiates literary reflections of colonialism from an unreflective white perspective.

The book takes a longue durée perspective to uncover how Europe’s colonial history continues to shape the high-tech political present and has morphed into EU border migration policies, border security, and surveillance apparatuses. It exposes the racial hierarchies and power relations that form these systems and highlights key moments when the past and present interact and collide, such as in panoptic surveillance, biopolitical registers, biometric sorting, and deterrent media infrastructure.

Language change is always tacitly at work in all languages of the world and at all levels of a given language, be it phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, etc. It has been suggested that it is precisely the capacity to constantly change and adjust that allows language to keep serving the communicative goals of its users, from ancient to modern times (Fauconnier & Turner, 2003, p. 179). This thesis investigates an especially salient pattern of lexicogrammatical change, namely word-formation of verbs from animal nouns by zero-derivation, in the process of which such nouns as, for example, dog, horse, or beaver change their usage and meaning to produce animal verbs: to dog ‘to follow someone persistently and with a malicious intent’, to horse about/around ‘to make fun of, to ‘rag’, to ridicule someone’ and to beaver away ‘to work at working with great enthusiasm’ respectively. In the previous literature this pattern of language change has been termed verbal zoosemy (e.g. Kiełtyka, 2016), i.e. metaphorical construal of human actions by means of linguistic material from the domain of animals. The approach taken in this study is not to simply report on the objective changes in the morphology, syntactic distribution and meaning of such linguistic units before and after conversion, but to uncover the complexity of cognitive mechanisms which allow the speakers of English to reclassify such well-established nominal units as animal noun into verbs. It is assumed that the grammatical change in these lexical units is predicated on and triggered by preceding semantic change. Thus, the study is set in the framework of Cognitive Historical Semantics and employs the Conceptual Metaphor and Metonymy Theory (CMMT) to untangle the intricacies of the semantic change making the grammatical change of animal nouns into verbs possible and acceptable in the minds of English speakers. To this end, this study employed the Oxford English Dictionary Online (OED Online) to compile a glossary of 96 denominal animal verbal forms tied to 209 verbal senses (most verbs in the dataset displayed polysemy). The data collected from the OED Online included not only the senses of the verbs, but also the date of the earliest recorded use of the verbal form with the given sense (regarded in the study as the date of conversion), the earliest usage examples for individual senses and morphologically or semantically related linguistic units from the lexical field of the respective parent noun which were amenable to explaining the observed instances of semantic change. Each instance of zoosemisation, i.e. of the creation of a separate metaphorical verbal sense, was then carefully analysed on the basis of the data collected and classified with the help of the CMMT. In the final stage, a comprehensive and systematic classification of the senses of animal verbs in accordance with the cognitive mechanisms of their creation (metaphor, metonymy, or a combination thereof) was produced together with a timeline of the first appearance of individual metaphorical senses of animal verbs recorded in the OED. The results show that animal verbs are produced through the interaction of conceptual metaphor and metonymy. Specifically, it was established that two major patterns of metaphor-metonymy interaction underpinning the process of verbal zoosemisation are metaphor from metonymy and metonymy from metaphor. In the former pattern, either an already existing metonymic animal verb is expanded to include the target domain PEOPLE, or the animal noun itself acts as a metonymic vehicle to a certain element of the idealised cognitive model of the given animal, which is metaphorically projected onto people. In the latter mechanism, a metaphorical projection of an animal term initially enters the lexicon in the form of a metaphorical animal noun referring to a human entity, and later in the course of language development it comes to metonymically stand for the action, which the given entity either performs or is involved in. Secondarily, it was observed that individual animal nouns can undergo multiple rounds of zoosemic conversion over time depending on the semantic frame in which the given linguistic unit undergoes denominal conversion, and that results in the polysemy of most animal verbs. N2 - Die Masterarbeit untersucht das Phänomen der verbalen Zoosemie im Englischen. Der Begriff verbale Zoosemie steht für Nullableitung von substantivischen Tiernamen zu Verben, die sich metaphorisch auf hauptsächlich von Menschen (aber zum Teil auch von nicht belebten Entitäten oder Tieren) ausgeführte Handlungen beziehen, z.B. von beaver ‚Bieber‘ zu to beaver away ‚fieberhaft an etwas arbeiten‘ oder von horse ‚Pferd‘ zu to horse around ‚rumalbern, rumblöden‘. Das Ziel dieser Untersuchung ist es im Rahmen der kognitiven Linguistik, und insbesondere einer ihrer Tochterdisziplinen, nämlich historischer Semantik, zu bestimmen, welche kognitiven Mechanismen solche Phänomene des Sprachwandels für die Sprecher verständlich machen bzw. ermöglichen. Dafür wurden 96 zoosemische Verben, samt den vom Oxford English Dictionary Online angebotenen Definitionen und datierten Beispielsätzen, zusammengetragen und unter Anwendung der kognitiven Methapher- und Metonymietheorie analysiert. Im Anschluss wurde eine Klassifizierung der zoosemischen Verben im Englischen unternommen. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Nullableitung von substantivischen Tiernamen zu Verben auf zwei grundsätzliche kognitive Mechanismen zurückzuführen ist, nämlich Metonymisierung gefolgt von Metaphorisierung oder Metaphorisierung gefolgt von Metonymisierung. Im ersten Fall wird entweder ein bereits lexikalisiertes metonymisches Verb oder der substantivische Tiername, der metonymisch für ein Attribut des Tieres steht, metaphorisch auf Menschenhandlungen projiziert, z.B. von to hound ‚etwas mithilfe eines Jagdhunds jagen’ zu to hound ‚wie ein Jagdhund verfolgen’ bzw. von rabbit ‚Karnickel’ zu to rabbit ‚sich wie Karnickel vermehren’. Im zweiten Fall wird der Tiername zunächst als metaphorisches Substantiv, das sich auf eine Person oder einen Gegenstand bezieht, lexikalisiert, z.B. rat ‚Verräter, Petze’ bzw. pony ‘Spickzettel’. Im weiteren Verlauf des Sprachwandels wird dieses Substantiv durch die Metonymie AGENT FOR ACTION oder OBJECT INVOLVED IN ACTION FOR ACTION zum Verben abgeleitet, z.B. to rat ‚verpetzen, verpfeifen’ bzw. to pony ‚spicken’. Zur Metaphorisierung gefolgt von Metonymisierung gehört eine weitere Subkategorie von zoosemischen Verben, nämlich die Verben die metonymisch für ganze metaphorische Redewendungen stehen, z.b. to wolf für to cry wolf ‚falschen Alarm geben’. Eine Erklärung zu dieser Art von metonymischer Verknüpfung zwischen der Semantik einer ganzen idiomatischen Redewendung und dem Bedeutungsinhalt eines ihrer substantivischen Elemente, das zum Verben konvertiert wird, konnte in der einschlägigen Literatur nicht gefunden werden. Daher bedarf dieser Mechanismus metonymischen Bedeutungstransfers weiterer Forschung. Die quantitative Analyse der identifizierten kognitiven Mechanismen im untersuchten Datensatz von 96 Tierverben hat ergeben, dass die metaphorische Projektion eines Tiernamens, der metonymisch für ein Attribut des Tieres steht, als der prototypische Mechanismus des Bedeutungstranfers der Englischen Zoosemie zu werten ist.

Addressing a readership that spans countries and continents, this kind of writing functions as a viable tributary to world literature. On the other hand, a new boom of Indian mass fiction in English has emerged that, while targeting a strictly domestic audience, is always already implicated in the dynamics of world literature as well, albeit in a very different way: As they deploy, appropriate and adopt a wide range of globally available templates of popular genres, these texts have globality inscribed into their very textures even if they do not circulate internationally.

The author enquires into the kinds of contexts that are habitually considered irrelevant when a specimen of natural history is treated as an object of taxonomic information only. In case of this particular specimen human and non-human history become entangled in ways that link the fate of this one small Australian bird to the German revolutionary generation of 1848, to Germany’s nineteenth-century colonial aspirations, to settler–Indigenous relations, to the cruel realities that underpinned the production of scientific knowledge in colonial Australia, and to a present-day interest in reconstructing Indigenous knowledges.

The debates crystallise how deeply divided German scientific discourses still are over the question of whether the historical and moral obligations of colonial injustice should be accepted or whether researchers should continue to profess scientific ‘disinterest’. The debates also reveal an almost unanimous disavowal of Indigenous Australian knowledges and mnemonic conceptions across all camps. The bitter ironies of this disavowal become evident when Indigenous Australian quests for the remains of their ancestral dead lost in the limbo of German scientific collections are juxtaposed with white Australian (fictional) quests for the remains of Ludwig Leichhardt, lost in the Australian interior.

Drawing on theories from the fields of Atlantic and Pacific studies, I argue that the changing Arctic, characterized by melting ice and increased accessibility, must be understood both as a space of transit that connects Atlantic and Pacific worlds in unprecedented ways, and as an oceanic world and contact zone in its own right. I examine both functions of the Arctic via a reading of the dispute over the Northwest Passage (which emphasizes the Arctic as a space of transit) and the contemporary assessment of new models of sovereignty in the Arctic region (which concentrates on the circumpolar Arctic as an oceanic world). However, both of these debates frequently exclude indigenous positions on the Arctic. By reading Canadian Inuit theories on the Arctic alongside the more prominent debates, I argue for a decolonizing reading of the Arctic inspired by Inuit articulations of the "Inuit Sea." In such a reading, Inuit conceptions provide crucial interventions into theorizing the Arctic. They also, in turn, contribute to discussions on indigeneity, sovereignty, and archipelagic theory in Atlantic and Pacific studies.

Mobile people of African descent use this term to address their own lived realities creatively, which often includes countering stereotypical notions of being African. Afropolitan practices are enormously heterogeneous and malleable, which constitutes its strengths and, at the same time, creates tensions. This book traces the theoretical beginnings of Afropolitanism and moves on to explore Afropolitan practices in London and Berlin. Afropolitanism can take different forms, such as that of an identity, a political and ethical stance, a dead–end road, networks, a collective self–care practice or a strategic label. In spite of the harsh criticism, Afropolitanism is attractive for people to deal with the meanings of Africa and Africanness, questions of belonging, equal rights and opportunities. While not a unitary project, the vast variety of Afropolitan practices provide approaches to contemporary political problems in Europe and beyond. In this book, Afropolitan practices are read against the specific context of German and British colonial histories and structures of racism, the histories of Black Europeans, and contemporary right–wing resurgence in Germany and England, respectively.

However, the one exotic plant species that preoccupied the British cultural imagination more than any other remained conspicuously absent from the collection: the banyan tree, whose non-transferability left a significant gap in the ‘text’ of the garden, thereby effectively puncturing the illusion of comprehensive global command that underpins the biopolitical designs of what Richard Grove has aptly dubbed ‘green imperialism’. This article demonstrates how, in the 19th and early 20th centuries, the banyan tree became an object of fascination and admiration for British scientists, painters, writers and photographers precisely because of its obstinate non-availability to colonial control and visual or even conceptual representability.

Smith’s story articulates an ethics of reading that is grounded in the recipient’s openness to the singular, unpredictable, and unverifiable text of the other. More specifically, Smith’s account enables the very event that it painstakingly stages: the encounter with alterity and newness, which is both the theme of the narrative and the effect of the text on the reader. At the same time, however, the text urges to move from an ethics of literature understood as the responsible reception of the other by an individual reader to a more explicitly convivial and political ethics of commitment beyond the scene of reading.

While Europe tends to be used as shorthand, often interchangeable with the 'West', neither the 'West' nor 'Europe' are homogeneous spaces. Though postcolonial studies have long been debunking Eurocentrism in its multiple guises, there is still work to do in fully comprehending how its imaginations and discursive legacies conceive the figure of Europe, as not all who live on European soil are understood as equally 'European'. This volume explores this immediate need to rethink the axis of postcolonial cultural productions, to disarticulate Eurocentrism, to recognise Europe as a more diverse, plural and fluid space, to draw forward cultural exchanges and dialogues within the Global South. Through analyses of literary texts from East-Central Europe and beyond, this volume sheds light on alternative literary cartographies - the multiplicity of Europes and being European which exist both as they are viewed from the different geographies of the global South, and within the continent itself. Covering a wide spatial and temporal terrain in postcolonial and European cultural productions, this volume will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of literature and literary criticism, cultural studies, post-colonial studies, Global South studies and European studies" Y1 - 2022 SN - 978-0-367-72225-8 SN - 978-0-367-77271-0 SN - 978-1-00-041097-6 PB - Routledge CY - London ER - TY - THES A1 - LeGall, Yann A1 - Mboro, Mnyaka Sururu T1 - Remembering the dismembered BT - African human remains and memory cultures in and after repatriation N2 - This thesis – written in co-authorship with Tanzanian activist Mnyaka Sururu Mboro – examines different cases of repatriation of ancestral remains to African countries and communities through the prism of postcolonial memory studies. It follows the theft and displacement of prominent ancestors from East and Southern Africa (Sarah Baartman, Dawid Stuurman, Mtwa Mkwawa, Songea Mbano, King Hintsa and the victims of the Ovaherero and Nama genocides) and argues that efforts made for the repatriation of their remains have contributed to a transnational remembrance of colonial violence. Drawing from cultural studies theories such as "multidirectional memory", "rehumanisation" and "necropolitics", the thesis argues for a new conceptualisation or "re-membrance" in repatriation, through processes of reunion, empowerment, story-telling and belonging. Besides, the afterlives of the dead ancestors, who stand at the centre of political debates on justice and reparations, remind of their past struggles against colonial oppression. They are therefore "memento vita", fostering counter-discourses that recognize them as people and stories.

N2 - Diese Studie untersucht Erinnerungskulturen während und nach der Rückführung menschlicher Überreste zu afrikanischen Gemeinschaften und Ländern. An der Schnittstelle von memory studies, postkolonialer Ethnographie und kritischer Museumsforschung zeigt diese Arbeit, wie die Rückführung von Überresten ehemaliger Widerstandskämpfer*innen und namenloser Vorfahren in ihre Gesellschaften gegen das Fortbestehen kolonialer Ungerechtigkeit angeht. In diesen Prozessen – von Rückgabeforderungen bis nach der Wiederbestattung der Überreste – intervenieren Nachfahren von Opfern, community leaders, Künstler*innen und Medien. Sie ermöglichen dadurch eine transnationale Auseinandersetzung mit der Geschichte der antikolonialen Bewegungen und der Rassenanthropologie. Durch Methoden der partizipativen Ethnographie zeigt die Arbeit auf, wie Überlieferung, Gedenkstätten, lokale Kulturprojekte, Theater, Film und Reportagen die Tatorte erneut aufgreifen und die zuvor von der Anthropologie objektifizierten Überreste „rehumanisieren“ (Rassool), mit anderen Worten, ihnen ihre menschliche Würde zurückgeben. Doch auch die sog. „afterlives“ der Opfer, deren Überreste so lange in Museen und Universitätssammlungen lagen, haben zu wichtigen Diskussionen über postkoloniale Gerechtigkeit, Museumsethik und transnationale Erinnerung geführt. Sollen sie in Gewahrsam einer staatlichen Institution oder an einem von den Nachkommen der Opfer gewählten Ort begraben werden? Was bedeuten diese zurückgeführten Vorfahren in dem gegenwärtigen Kampf um Anerkennung kolonialer Gewalt und Genozids, aber auch um Entschuldigung und Wiedergutmachung? Und wie sind diese Rückgabeprozesse (auch „Repatriierung“ genannt) generell in Narrative der kolonialen Vergangenheit eingebettet, wie zu verstehen im Kontext ihrer körperlichen und diskursiven Gewalt? All diese Fragen werden hier in Fallstudien und von unterschiedlichen Perspektiven aufgegriffen: die Geschichte des Kopfs und des Zahns vom Mhehe antikolonialen Mtwa Mkwawa (Tansania); die Rückkehr von Sarah Baartman von Frankreich nach Südafrika; der Geist von Dawid Stuurman, der 2017 von Australien zurück nach Südafrika begleitet wurde; die verschiedene Repatriierungen von Ovaherero and Nama Ahnen von Deutschland nach Namibia zwischen 2011 und 2018; der Fall von Xhosa König Hintsa, dessen Kopf angeblich in Großbritannien verschleppt wurde; und die Abwesenheit vom Kopf des Ngoni Nduna Songea Mbano, der während des Majimaji Kriegs von den Deutschen ermordet wurde. Die Körper und Geister dieser Toten sind ein heterogener Korpus. Dennoch drehen sich alle Fallstudien dieser Arbeit um zwei entscheidende Fragen: Erstens, wer hat die Deutungshoheit über die Geschichte der kolonialen Gewalt? Welche Erinnerung der Totenbleibt? Zweitens, was sind angemessene Entschädigungen für Mord, Völkermord, koloniale Unterdrückung und Ausbeutung? Als Beitrag im Feld der memory studies argumentiert diese Arbeit für ein erweitertes Verständnis der „remembrance“ (übersetzt als Erinnerung aber auch „Zusammenbringen der Körperteile“). In diesen materiellen und immateriellen Prozessen, wird wiedervereint, was durch jahrzehntelange physische und epistemische Gewalt gebrochen, beschädigt oder getrennt wurde: einerseits Knochen, Zähne und Körper, und andererseits Familien wieder zu vereinen, Subjektpositionen zu reparieren, Würde wiederherzustellen und Ansprüche auf Selbstbestimmung und Selbsterzählung zu erheben. Die Arbeit zeigt, dass bilaterale und transnationale politische und kulturelle Projekte die Geschichten der Toten “multidirektional“ erzählen (Rothberg), nämlich in Beziehung zueinander. Sie untersucht auch, in welchen Kontexten die Vergangenheit nicht mehr als Last, sondern als Werkzeug zum Verständnis und zur Heilung der Wunden angesehen wird. Es sind Trittsteine für Wege der Versöhnung und mögliche Wiedergutmachung, die auf Trauer, Anerkennung und Sühne, aber auch Zusammenarbeit ausgerichtet sind. Dank Repatriierungen können Nachfahren und communities endlich eine Geschichte(n) erzählen, die auf mehr als nur Verlust und Abwesenheit aufbauen. Das Buch hat zwei Autoren und verschiedene Mitwirkende, die zusätzliche Perspektiven auf die Geschichten kolonialer Gewalt ermöglichen. Diese Polyphonie in der ethnographischen Arbeit bezieht sich auf Vincent Crapanzanos Technik der Juxtaposition und Alexander Weheliyes Argument für „fragmentarisches“ Schreiben. Da lokale Akteur*innen zu dieser Wissensproduktion beigetragen haben, zielt die Arbeit auch darauf ab, sie sichtbar zu machen. Das Wissen, das diese ethnographische Forschung generiert hat, soll auch weiterhin verfügbar sein und an diejenigen zurückgegeben werden, die diese Forschung überhaupt erst ermöglicht haben. Deswegen führen eingebettete QR-Codes zu den Audioquellen der vielfältigen Interventionen von Nachfahren und Gemeinschaftsmitgliedern.

Responding to an influential view shaping this debate, that Glissant’s work can be categorised into an early political and late apolitical phase, this dissertation claims that this division is based on a narrow conception of 'engaged political writing' that prevents a more comprehensive view of the changing political strategies Glissant pursued throughout his life from emerging. Proceeding from this conceptual basis, the dissertation is concerned with re-reading the dimensions of Glissant's work that have hitherto been relegated as apolitical, literary or poetic, with the aim of conceptualising the politics of relation as an integral part of his overall poetic project. In methodological terms, the dissertation therefore proposes a relational reading of Glissant’s life-work across literary genres, epochs, as well as the conventional divisions between political thought, writing and activism. This perspective is informed by Glissant's philosophy of relation, and draws on a conception of political practice that includes both explicit engagements with established political systems and institutions, as well as literary and cultural interventions geared towards their transformation and the creation of alternatives to them. Theoretically the work thus combines a poststructuralist lens on the conceptual difference between 'politics' and 'the political' with arguments for an inherent political quality of literature, and perspectives from the Afro-Caribbean radical tradition, in which writers and intellectuals have historically sought to combine discursive interventions with organisational actions. Applying this theoretical angle to the analysis of Glissant's politics of relation results in an interdisciplinary research framework designed to explore the synergies between postcolonial political and literary studies. In order to comprehensively describe Glissant's politics of relation without recourse to evolutionary or digressive models, the concept of an intellectual marronage is proposed as a framework to map the strategies making up Glissant's political archive. Drawing on a variety of historic, political theoretical and literary sources, intellectual marronage is understood as a mode of radical resistance to the neocolonial subjugation for which the plantation system stands historically and metaphorically, as an inherently innovative political practice invested in the creation of communities marked by relational ontologies, and as a commitment to fostering an imagination of the world and the human that differs fundamentally from the Enlightenment paradigm. This specific conception of intellectual marronage forms the basis on which three key strategies that consistently shape Glissant's political practice are identified and mapped. They revolve around Glissant's engagement with history (chapter 2), his commitment to fostering an imagination of the Tout-Monde (whole-world) as a political point of reference (chapter 3), and the continuous exploration of alternative forms of community on the levels of the island, the archipelago and the Tout-Monde (chapter 4). Together these strategies constitute Glissant's personal politics of relation. Its abstract characteristics can be put in a productive conversation with related theoretical traditions invested in exploring the political potentials of fugitivity (chapters 5), as well as with the work of other postcolonial actors whose holistic practice warrants to be described as a politics of relation (chapter 6). N2 - Diese Dissertation befasst sich mit der politischen Dimension des Werks von Édouard Glissant (1928-2011), der zu den einflussreichsten aus der frankophonen Karibik stammenden postkolonialen Theoretiker*innen gezählt wird. Durch eine Kombination von literatur- und politikwissenschaftlichen Ansätzen wird Glissants Werk als Ganzes studiert und auf seine politischen Potenziale geprüft. Kennzeichnend für den verfolgten Rechercheansatz ist ein weites Verständnis des Politischen, das sich von gängigen Vorstellungen der Auseinandersetzung mit politischen Systemen und Machtkämpfen unterscheidet, in dem es literarischer und kultureller Arbeit dezidiert politische Bedeutung zuschreibt. Das Konzept der Politik der Relation aufgreifend, welches in Glissants späteren Schriften erscheint, befasst sich diese Arbeit mit den Fragen, was ist die Politik der Relation? Wie kann sie beschrieben werden? Und welche Verbindungen lassen sich zwischen ihr und verwandten politischen Praktiken nachzeichnen? Die Forschungsarbeit kommt dabei zu dem Ergebnis, dass mit der Politik der Relation sowohl die diversen politischen Praktiken beschrieben werden können, die das Werk Glissants durchziehen, als auch außerhalb dieses Bereichs postkoloniale politische Praktiken analysiert werden können. Im erstgenannten Kontext bezieht sich der Begriff auf eine ganzheitliche und vielschichtige Praxis eines Dichters und Intellektuellen, dessen politisches Engagement in erster Linie auf Veränderungen im Bereich des Imaginären und der Erschaffung alternativer Gemeinschaften abzielte, der jedoch darüber hinaus wiederholt diskursiv und organisatorisch in bestehende Institutionen und Gemeinschaften intervenierte, um Relationen herzustellen, die von bestehenden Diskursen und politischen Strukturen unterbunden wurden. Im zweiten Kontext, also außerhalb von Glissants eigenem politischen Denken und Handeln, wird die Politik der Relation zudem als ein Begriff vorgeschlagen, der die Praxis bestimmter postkolonialer Akteure beschreiben kann, deren Handeln jeweils ein ganzheitlicher Anspruch zugrunde liegt, bei dem Leben und Schreiben, Inhalt und Form, Mittel und Zwecke nicht voneinander getrennt werden können. Ihre politische Praxis orientiert sich an der radikalen Diversität und Vernetzung aller Kulturen der Welt, sie schöpft aus ihr Kraft und strebt an, sie zu beschützen. Indem die Dissertation Verbindungen zwischen diesen beiden Ebenen aufzeigt, ist sie methodisch ebenfalls relational angelegt.

In order to analyse two case studies of longevity published in the early twentieth century, the American psychologist G. Stanley Hall's book Senescence (1922) and the British dramatist Bernard Shaw's play cycle Back to Methuselah (1921), the essay draws on an outline of theories of longevity from the Enlightenment to the present. The analysis of the two case studies illustrates that evolutionary and cultural perspectives on ageing and longevity are ambivalent and problematic. In Hall's and Shaw's texts this is related to a crisis narrative of culture and civilization against which both writers place their specific solutions of individual and species longevity. Whereas Hall employs autobiographical accounts of artists as examples of longevity to strengthen his argument about wise old men as exclusive repositories of knowledge, Shaw in his vision of longevity as an extended form of midlife for both genders encounters the limits of age representation.

Throughout their talk, Bala and Kerrigan engage with the legacy of Haitian anthropologist Michel-Rolph Trouillot. Specifically, they focus on his approach of looking from small units, such as small villages in Dominica, outwards to larger political structures such as global capitalism, social inequalities and the distribution of power. They also share insights from their own research on embodied practices in the Caribbean, Europe and India and answer questions such as: What can research on and through embodied practices tell us about systems of power and domination that move between the local and the global? How can performance practices which are informed by multiple locations and cultures be read and appreciated adequately? Sharing insights from his research into Guyanese prisons, Kerrigan outlines how he aims to connect everyday experiences and struggles of Caribbean people to trans-historical and transnational processes such as racial capitalism and post/coloniality. Furthermore, he elaborates on how he uses performance practices such as spoken word poetry and data verbalisation to connect with systematically excluded groups. Bala challenges naïve notions about the inherent transformative potential of performance in her research on performance and translation. She points to the way in which performance and its reception is always already inscribed in what she calls global or planetary asymmetries. At the conclusion of this conversation, they broach the question: are small places truly as small as they seem? N2 - “Embodied Practices – Looking From Small Places” ist das editierte Transkript eines Gesprächs zwischen der Theaterwissenschaftlerin Sruti Bala (Universität Amsterdam) und dem Soziologen und Kriminologen Dylan Kerrigan (University Leicester), welches als Online-Veranstaltung unter gleichem Titel im November 2020 stattfand. Zentraler Ausgangspunkt des Gesprächs ist die Auseinandersetzung mit dem Werk des haitianischen Anthropologen Michel-Rolph Trouillot und insbesondere seinem Ansatz ausgehend von kleinen Einheiten, wie etwa kleinen Dörfern auf Dominica, auf große politische Zusammenhänge zu schauen, wie die Weltwirtschaft oder aber auch die Verteilung von Macht und sozialen Ungleichheiten. Davon ausgehend, geben die beiden Wissenschaftler*innen Einblicke in ihre eigenen Forschungen zu verkörperten, performativen Praktiken in der Karibik, in Europa oder in Indien. Sie verhandeln Fragen wie etwa: Wie kann Forschung zu und mit performativen Praktiken unser Verständnis von Macht- und Herrschaftssystemen schärfen, die gleichzeitig lokal und global wirksam sind? Wie könnte eine angemessene und wertschätzende Auseinandersetzung mit performativen Praktiken aussehen, die sich aus unterschiedlichen geografischen und kulturellen Kontexten speisen? Kerrigan führt aus wie er in seiner Forschung zeigt, dass alltägliche Erfahrungen und Kämpfe in der Karibik nicht außerhalb von historischen und transnationalen Prozessen wie racial capitalism sowie Post/Kolonialität zu denken sind. Darüber hinaus berichtet er, wie er performative Praktiken wie spoken word oder data verbalisation einsetzt, um mit systematisch marginalisierten Personen in Kontakt zu treten. Bala legt dar, dass sie in ihrer Forschung, beispielsweise zu Performance und Übersetzung, darum bemüht ist, naive Vorstellungen von dem scheinbar inhärent transformativen Potential von Performance zu dekonstruieren. Aufführungen und deren Rezeption seien vielmehr immer schon eingeschrieben in das, was Bala globale oder planetarische Asymmetrien nennt. Schließlich verhandeln sie die Frage wie klein sogenannte “kleine Orte” tatsächlich sind.

Smith’s story articulates an ethics of reading that is grounded in the recipient’s openness to the singular, unpredictable, and unverifiable text of the other. More specifically, Smith’s account enables the very event that it painstakingly stages: the encounter with alterity and newness, which is both the theme of the narrative and the effect of the text on the reader. At the same time, however, the text urges to move from an ethics of literature understood as the responsible reception of the other by an individual reader to a more explicitly convivial and political ethics of commitment beyond the scene of reading.

Du Bois’s The Quest of the Silver Fleece and Dark Princess JF - Thesis eleven : critical theory and historical sociology N2 - While W.E.B. Du Bois’s first novel, The Quest of the Silver Fleece (1911), is set squarely in the USA, his second work of fiction, Dark Princess: A Romance (1928), abandons this national framework, depicting the treatment of African Americans in the USA as embedded into an international system of economic exploitation based on racial categories. Ultimately, the political visions offered in the novels differ starkly, but both employ a Western literary canon – so-called ‘classics’ from Greek, German, English, French, and US American literature. With this, Du Bois attempts to create a new space for African Americans in the world (literature) of the 20th century. Weary of the traditions of this ‘world literature’, the novels complicate and begin to decenter the canon that they draw on. This reading traces what I interpret as subtle signs of frustration over the limits set by the literature that underlies Dark Princess, while its predecessor had been more optimistic in its appropriation of Eurocentric fiction for its propagandist aims.

And yet, critiquing the narratives that structure worlds and discourses is key to the activities of the (literary) critic in this time of crisis. If this crisis manifests as a ‘crisis of imagination’ (e.g. Ghosh), I argue that this not so much a crisis of the absence of texts that address the environmental disaster, but rather a failure to comprehend the presences of the Anthropocene in the present. To interpret (literary) texts in this framework must entail acknowledging and scrutinising the extent of the incapacity of the privileged reader to comprehend the crisis as presence and present rather than spatially or temporally remote. The readings of the novels Carpentaria (2006) and The Swan Book (2013) by Waanyi writer Alexis Wright (Australia) trace the uneven presences of Anthropocenes in the present by way of bringing future worlds (The Swan Book) to the contemporary (Carpentaria). In both novels, protagonists must forge survival amongst ruins of the present and future: the depicted worlds, in particular the representations of the disenfranchisement of indigenous inhabitants of the far north of the Australian continent, emerge as a critique of the intersections of capitalist and colonial projects that define modernity and its impact on the global climate.

The main argument of this article is that Glissant’s work offers an alternative epistemological and normative framework through which the contemporary political issues arising around the phenomenon of repressive border regimes can be studied. To demonstrate this point, this article works with Glissant’s border thought as an analytical lens and proposes a pathway for studying the contemporary German border regime. Particular emphasis is placed on the identification of potential areas where a Glissantian politics of relation could intervene with the goal of transforming borders from impermeable walls into points of passage. By exploring the political implications of his border thought, as well as the larger philosophical context from which it emerges, while using a transdisciplinary approach that borrows from literary and political studies, this work contributes to ongoing debates in postcolonial studies on borders and borderlessness, as well as Glissant’s political legacy in the twenty-first century.

To this day, the identity of many islands on the chart, and the logic of their arrangement have posed a riddle to researchers. Drawing in part on archival material hitherto overlooked, in this long essay we propose a new understanding of the chart’s cartographic logic, offer a detailed reconstruction of its genesis, and thus for the first time present a comprehensive reading of Tupaia’s Map. The chart not only underscores the extent and mastery of Polynesian navigation, it is also a remarkable feat of translation between two very different wayfinding systems and their respective representational models.

The text thus announces itself as an afterthought, a supplement appended to some complete larger textual body, from which it is, however, unmoored as it is launched as an independent self-standing text that, moreover, does not indicate to what it is an addendum but instead, on what it speaks. By this token, the Postscript unhinges the conventional notion according to which a supplement signals “the addition of something to an already complete entity” (Attridge 1992: 77). By marking his text as the adjunct to an absent main body, Deleuze appears to concede and at the same time emphatically embrace the necessary incompleteness of this short précis on the post-disciplinary regime. My argument in the following will be that the supplementary status of the Postscript does not so much signal some subversive or dissident gesture in the name of the minor or the molecular (even though it does that, too); instead, it primarily serves to keep at bay and contain an exteriority that it aims to ‘confine by exclusion’1; and that exteriority, I will argue, is the Third World.

This takes world literature from the postcolonial South as, following Pheng Cheah, instantiating a modality of world literature in which the need for imagining worlds with alternative centres to those determined by coloniality is particularly acute. A response to this is facilitated and illustrated by a reading of Bengali poet Rabindranath Tagore’s Letters from Russia (1930), and South African writer/activist Alex La Guma’s A Soviet Journey (1978). By drawing forward connections between the postcolonial South and the former Soviet Union, this complicates traditional colonial arrangements of the colonial ‘centre’ as cradle of civilisation and culture, as well as postcolonial scholarship’s cumulative fetishisation of ‘Europe’, by allowing a reshuffling of the co-ordinates determining ‘centres’ and ‘peripheries’ and a more nuanced grasp of ‘Europe’ simultaneously. These imaginative journeys destabilise ‘Europe’ as closed category and call forth Eurasia as a more appropriate categorical–cartographical framework for thinking this space and the connections and (hi)story-telling it stages and fosters.

Conducting rhythmic analyses appears helpful in this regard, in that they disclose rhythmic regularities which suggest a speaker's orientation towards a projected turn continuation. In this particular case, rhythmic analyses can therefore be shown to meaningfully complement sequential analyses and analyses of turn-design, so as to gather additional evidence for participant orientations. In conclusion, I will point to possibly more extensive relations between rhythmicity and projection and proffer a tentative outlook for the usability of rhythmic analyses as an analytic tool in CA and IL.

The concept of postcolonial justice shared by the essays in this volume carries an unwavering commitment to difference within and beyond Europe, while equally rejecting radical cultural essentialisms, which refuse to engage in "utopian ideals" of convivial exchange across a plurality of subject positions. Such utopian ideals can no longer claim universal validity, as in the tradition of the European enlightenment; instead they are bound to local frames of speaking from which they project world.

The debates crystallise how deeply divided German scientific discourses still are over the question of whether the historical and moral obligations of colonial injustice should be accepted or whether researchers should continue to profess scientific ‘disinterest’. The debates also reveal an almost unanimous disavowal of Indigenous Australian knowledges and mnemonic conceptions across all camps. The bitter ironies of this disavowal become evident when Indigenous Australian quests for the remains of their ancestral dead lost in the limbo of German scientific collections are juxtaposed with white Australian (fictional) quests for the remains of Ludwig Leichhardt, lost in the Australian interior.

Yet, a genuine will for dialogue to work through colonial violence is found lacking in the European public sphere. Looking at local remembrance of the Majimaji War (1905-07) in the south of Tanzania and a German-Tanzanian theatre production, this article demonstrates how the spectre of colonial headhunting stands at the heart of claims for repatriation and acknowledgement of this anti-colonial movement. The missing head of Ngoni leader Songea Mbano haunts the future of German-Tanzanian relations in culture and heritage. By staging the act of post-mortem dismemberment and foregrounding the perspective of descendants, the theatre production Maji Maji Flava offers an honest proposal for dealing with stories of sheer colonial violence in transnational memory.

They relate nation and utopia not by describing perfect societies, but by writing about attempts to immediately live radically different lives. Signposting the respective communal history, the readings provide a literary perspective to communal studies, and add to a deeply necessary historicization for strictly literary approaches to US utopianism, and for studies that focus on Pilgrims/Puritans/Founding Fathers as utopian practitioners. This book therefore highlights how the authors evaluated the USA’s utopian potential and traces the nineteenth-century development of the utopian imagination from various perspectives.

Reihe Literaturwissenschaft N2 - Today’s focus on the 1930s as a time of radical politics paving the way for the apocalypse of the Second World War ignores the complexity of the decade’s cultural responses, especially those by British women writers who highlighted gender issues within their contemporary political climate. The decade’s literature is often understood to capture the political unrest, either narrating people’s chaotic movement or their paralysed shock. This book argues that 1930s novels collapse the distinction between movement and standstill and calls this phenomenon Dynamic Stasis. This Dynamic Stasis thematically and structurally informs the novels of Nancy Mitford, Stevie Smith, Rosamond Lehmann and Jean Rhys. By disrupting the oft-repeated cliché of the 1930s as the age of political extremes, gender politics and negotiations of femininity can emerge from the discursive periphery. This book therefore corrects a persistent gender blind spot, which opens up a (re)consideration of authors that have been overlooked in literary criticism of 1930s to this day.

It analyzes the ways in which U.S. legal texts as “legal fictions” narratively press to affirm the United States’ territorial sovereignty and coherence in spite of its reliance on a variety of imperial practices that flexibly disconnect and (re)connect U.S. sovereignty, jurisdiction and territory. At the same time, the book acknowledges Indigenous life writing as legal texts in their own right and with full juridical force, which aim to highlight the heterogeneity of U.S. national territory both from their individual perspectives and in conversation with these legal fictions. Through this, the book’s analysis contributes to a more nuanced understanding of the coloniality of U.S. legal fictions, while highlighting territoriality as a key concept in the fashioning of the narrative of U.S. imperialism.

Press CY - Sydney ER - TY - THES A1 - Oduor, Tony Laban T1 - Recalibrations of Childhoods in Eastern African Literatures and Cultures N2 - The idea of critical childhood studies is a relatively young disciplinary undertaking in eastern Africa. And so, a lot of inquiries have not been carried out. This field is a potential important socio-political marker, among others, of some narratives, that have emerged out of eastern Africa. Towards this end, my research seeks out an archaeology of childhood in eastern Africa. There is a monochromatic hue which has often painted the eastern African childhood. This broad stroke portrays the childhood as characterized by want. The image of the eastern African childhood is composed in terms of the war-child, poverty, disease-ridden, and aid-begging. The pitfall of this consciousness is that it erases a differentiated and pluralist nature of the eastern African childhood. Therefore, I hypothesise that childhood is a discourse from which institutional vectors become conduits of certain statement-making both process-wise and content-wise. As such a critical childhood study is a theatre of staging and unearthing its joys, tribulations, cultural constructions, and even political interventions. To this end childhood and its literatures not only reflect but also contribute to meaning making and worldliness thereof. As an attempt to move from an un-nuanced depiction, which is often monodirectional, I seek to present a chronologically synchronic and diachronic analysis of childhood in the eastern Africa. Accordingly, I excavate a chronological construction of childhood within this geopolitical region. The main conceptual anchorage is Francis Nyamnjoh who tells of the African occupying a life on convivial frontiers. He theorises an Africa that is involved in technologies of self-definition that privilege conversations, fluidity of being and relational connections on a globalised scale. I also appropriate the notion of Bula Matadi from the Congo as a decolonialist epistemological exercise to break apart polarising representations and practices of childhood in eastern Africa. This opens a space for an unbounded reconfiguration of childhood in eastern Africa. This book works on and with archival matter, in a cross-disciplinary manner and ranges from pre-colonial to post-colonial eastern Africa. It is an exploration of the trajectory of the discourse of childhood in eastern Africa, in order to eclectically investigate childhood in eastern Africa, in fictional and non-fictional representations.

It ultimately leads up to a reflection on what Ravi Sundaram coined as “pirate modernity,” which challenges us to rethink notions of artistic authorship and authority, hegemony and subversion, culture and theory in the postcolonial world of today.

To this end, Oromo-Americans, an ethnic group originally located within the national borders of Ethiopia, will be compared to Armenian-Americans, British-Pakistanis and Somali-Americans. Despite different circumstances, all four groups share the experience of displacement owing to war and destitution. Additionally, all groups are confronted with the ramifications of a visible minority status. In the process of comparing these groups, their degrees of homogeneity in regard to language and religion - central aspects of culture and cultural identity - will be examined and juxtaposed at a macro level. Based on the correlative relationship of group homogeneity and social cohesion, I argue that the more homogeneous a group is in terms of language and religion, the more close-knit it will be. Consequently, exiled minorities who share the same language and religion are more likely to develop and retain a strong ethnic orientation than groups who are heterogeneous with regard to language and/or religion.

To this end, it systematically reconsiders the conversational practice of using the lexico-syntactic format oh that’s right to implicitly claim “just-now” recollection of something previously known, but momentarily confused or forgotten. The analyses reveal that this practice typically occurs as part of a larger sequential pattern that the participants orient to and which serves as a procedure for dealing with, and generating an account for, one participant’s production of an inapposite action. As will be shown, the instantiation and progressive realization of this sequential procedure requires local inferential work from the participants. While some facets of this inferential work appear to be shaped by the particular context of the ongoing interaction, others are integral to the workings of the sequence as such. Moreover, the analyses suggest that participants’ understanding of oh that’s right as embodying an implicit memory claim rests on an inference which is based on a kind of semanticpragmatic compositionality. The paper thus illustrates how inferences in conversational interaction can be systematically studied and points to the merits of combining an interactional and a linguistic perspective.

Specifically, the prosody and phonetics of talk-in-interaction have become a field of study in its own right, with the majority of work to date focussing on the structuring of talk, turn-taking, and the contextualization of social practices, actions, genres, styles, affect etc. This volume presents an introduction to basic terms and concepts of prosodic-phonetic research as well as new contributions by young and established researchers in the field, for example, in the area of prosody and phonetics of affect display, public performance, institutional interaction, and sequence organisation. At the same time, it provides a survey of the methods currently employed and is thus aimed at students of language and interaction from a wide range of backgrounds as well as more experienced researchers and novices alike. N2 - Phonetik und Prosodie werden seit langem als fundamentale Aspekte des gesprochenen Diskurses behandelt. Insbesondere Prosodie und Phonetik natürlicher Alltagssprache haben sich zu einem eigenen Forschungsbereich entwickelt. Das Hauptaugenmerk lag dabei bisher auf Gesprächstruktur, Turn-Taking und die Kontextualisierung von sozialen Praktiken, Handlungen, Genres, Stilen und Affekten. Dieser Band präsentiert sowohl eine Einführung in Grundbegriffe und -konzepte der prosodisch-phonetischen Gesprächsforschung, als auch neue Befunde junger und etablierter ForscherInnen. Die einzelnen Kapitel behandeln unter anderem Prosodie und Phonetik von Affektdarstellungen, Theatervorstellungen, institutioneller Interaktion und Sequenzorganisation. Gleichzeitig bietet der Band einen Überblick über die Methoden, die in diesem Forschungsbereich genutzt werden. Der Band richtet sich damit an alle, für deren Arbeit die Erforschung von Sprache und Interaktion eine Rolle spielt, seien es Studierende oder erfahrene ForscherInnen.

BT - An initial observation on rhythmicity and projection JF - Prosodie und Phonetik in der Interaktion = Prosody and phonetics in interaction N2 - This paper reports a problematic case of unequivocally evidencing participant orientation to the projective force of some turn-initial demonstrative wh-clefts (DCs) within the framework of Conversation Analysis (CA) and Interactional Linguistics (IL). Conducting rhythmic analyses appears helpful in this regard, in that they disclose rhythmic regularities which suggest a speaker's orientation towards a projected turn continuation. In this particular case, rhythmic analyses can therefore be shown to meaningfully complement sequential analyses and analyses of turn-design, so as to gather additional evidence for participant orientations. In conclusion, I will point to possibly more extensive relations between rhythmicity and projection and proffer a tentative outlook for the usability of rhythmic analyses as an analytic tool in CA and IL.

Case studies ranging from the German reception of James Cook’s voyages through to the legacies of 19th- and 20th-century settler colonialism foreground the highly ambiguous roles played by explorers, missionaries, intellectuals and other individuals, as well as by objects and things that travelled between worlds – ancestral human remains, rare animal skins, songs, and even military tanks. The chapters foreground the complex relationship between science, religion, art and exploitation, displacement and annihilation.

The answers given by business people from different cultural backgrounds to these questions are likely to differ from the standard answers found in business manuals. In her book, Milene Mendes de Oliveira investigates how Brazilian and German business people conceptualize and act out business negotiations using English as a Lingua Franca. The frameworks of Cultural Linguistics, English as a Lingua Franca, World Englishes, and Business Discourse offer the theoretical and methodological grounding for the analysis of interviews with high-ranking Brazilian and German business people. Moreover, a side study on e-mail exchanges between Brazilian and German employees of a healthcare company serves as a test case for the results arising from the interviews, and helps understand other facets of authentic intercultural business communication. Offering new insights on English as a Lingua Franca in international business contexts, Business Negotiations in ELF from a Cultural Linguistic Perspective simultaneously provides a detailed cultural-conceptual account of business negotiations from the viewpoint of Brazilian and German business people and a secondary analysis of their pragmatic aspects.

Eine Analyse der Konzeption und der Durchführung des Masterstudiengangs Anglophone Modernities in Literature and Culture” befasst sich mit kolonialen Mustern in der Hochschulbildungspraxis, arbeitet einen theoretisch-fundierten Rahmen für Dekolonisierung akademischer Lehr-/Lernpraxis auf den mikro- und mesodidaktischen Handlungsebenen aus und schlägt konkrete Lösungswege und Dekolonisierungspraktiken vor, die besonders für Studiengänge, deren inhaltlichen Ausrichtungen sich postkolonialen Thematiken widmet, von großer Relevanz sind. Anders als typische postkoloniale Studien, besteht die Arbeit nicht nur aus einer theoretischen Ausarbeitung, sondern auch aus einer eigenen empirischen Untersuchung (Triangulation zwischen Dokumentenanalyse und einer Umfrage). In der Arbeit wird die These vertreten und entlang der Arbeit begründet, dass Bildung von kolonialen Mustern befreit werden soll, damit Partizipation für alle möglich wird. Substanz für die Argumentation zur These liefern unterschiedliche Konzeptionen von kritischer Pädagogik, wie z.B. Ausarbeitungen von Paulo Freire und bell hooks, und deren Verschränkung mit Konzeptionen über anthropologische Modalitäten des Lernens Erwachsener (u.a. Mezirow’s transformatives Lernen; Arnold’s Deutungsmusteransatz) und modernen Ausarbeitungen, die Lernen und sozialer Gerechtigkeit zu verbinden suchen (u.a. der in dem US-amerikanischen Raum verbreitete Ansatz des Social Justice Learning). Weitere Thesen der Abschlussarbeit sind, dass (1) die vorzufindenden Ungleichhalt-erhaltenden Dynamiken an westlichen Hochschulen eine Erbe der kolonialen Zeit und Denkweise darstellen, die im Bildungsbereich weiterhin wirken und im Kontext von Internationalisierung, Migration und Partizipation zur Multiplizierung von sozialer Ungleichheit führen; (2) dass alle, aber besonders diejenigen Studiengänge, die sich inhaltlich mit Ungleichheitsphänomenen, gesellschaftlicher und kultureller Vielfalt, Macht und herrschaftskritischen Thematiken sowie mit postkolonialer Kritik befassen, bemüht sein sollten, im selbst-verantworteten Lernraum Prämissen von Equity und Ausgleich von Machtverhältnissen sowie Chancengleichheit für Lehrende und Studierende zu verkörpern, um glaubwürdig zu bleiben; (3) dass Dekolonisierung vom Bildungsraum durch entsprechendes didaktisches Handeln auf den Meso- (Institution) und Mikroebenen (Lehr-/Lernarrangements) bei ausreichender Wille und Bereitschaft verantwortlicher Fachkräfte an Hochschulen möglich sind. Das Thema wird auch in einer empirischen Untersuchung bearbeitet. Durch Sichtung von repräsentativen Dokumenten mithilfe der Methode ‚close reading‘, die der Studiengang veröffentlicht hat, durch die exemplarische Analyse der Konzeption einer Lehr-/Lernveranstaltung sowie anhand von einer Studierendenumfrage wird untersucht, inwiefern der Masterstudiengang „Anglophone Modernities in Literature and Culture“ an der Universität Potsdam Anforderungen an einer dekolonisierten Hochschulbildung erfüllt bzw. Wille für dekoloniale Bildungsarbeit wahrnehmbar ist. Die Untersuchungsergebnisse zeugen vom Bedarf für stärkere normative Positionierung vonseiten des Studiengangs, während viele Praktiken identifiziert wurden, die für das Bekenntnis des Studiengangs zur Partizipation, sozialer Gerechtigkeit und Diversity zeugen. Im letzten Kapitel werden die Ergebnisse der theoretischen Ausarbeitung und der empirischen Untersuchung in dem Konzept einer auf Integrität basierenden Pädagogik gebündelt und Vorschläge für die Unterrichtspraxis im Studiengang formuliert, die helfen sollen, die Diskrepanz zwischen Wille und Praxis zu überwinden, und für das Anstoßen dekolonisierender Entwicklungen an anderen Lehrstühlen auch aufschlussreich sein könnten. Ein zentrales Ergebnis der Masterarbeit ist die interdisziplinäre Herangehensweise im Forschungsdesign, welche postkoloniale Theorien zu Erwachsenenbildung auf der bestehenden akademischen Bildungspraxis bezieht sowie exemplarisch an einer Hochschule in der Form von Fallstudie für einen Studiengang konkret überprüft. Des Weiteren liefert die Ausarbeitung Theorie-abgeleiteten Kriterien für die Analyse von Studiengängen in Hinblick auf koloniale Praktiken bzw. Dekolonisierung sowie einen Katalog von Schritten, die implementiert werden können, wenn sich ein Studiengang im Rahmen von internen Entwicklungsprozessen von Ungleichheitspraktiken befreien möchte. In der theoretischen Ausarbeitung wird der bestehende Begriff der traditionellen bzw. nicht-traditionellen Studierenden weiterentwickelt, so dass dadurch Überlegungen über Differenzlinien und Diversität von Studierenden differenzierter aufgestellt werden können, als wenn dabei lediglich Race, Class, Gender-Kriterien in Betracht gezogen würden. Darüber hinaus wird in der Arbeit der Begriff der Integritätspädagogik (Pedagogy of Integrity) entwickelt und begründet, was einen konkreten Umgang mit Dekolonisierung der Hochschulbildungspraxis vorschlägt und normative sowie praxis-bezogene Implikationen beinhaltet. Dadurch sucht die Abschlussarbeit, einen konkreten Beitrag zur gerechten Gestaltung vom Lehr-/Lernraum im deutschen Hochschulbereich zu leisten, welcher sich unabhängig von sozio-ökonomischer, sozial-kultureller, religiöser Herkunft sowie unabhängig von Nationalität, Hautfarbe, Geschlecht, sexueller Orientierung und Alter der Menschen an der Hochschule förderlich auswirkt und allen Lehrenden und Studierenden in gleicher Weise ermöglicht, sich akademisch zu entwickeln und den wissenschaftlichen Diskurs in ihren jeweiligen Disziplinen durch tatsächliche, gelebte Partizipation, mitzugestalten. N2 - The master thesis “Pedagogy of Integrity: an Analysis of the Conceptualization and Implementation of the MA Program Anglophone Modernities in Literature and Culture” deals with colonial patterns in higher education practices. It provides a theoretical framework for decolonization of academic teaching-learning practices on the micro- and meso-didactic levels and suggests concrete solutions for the decolonized education practices, especially for degree programs, which content focuses on post-colonial issues. Besides, through the exemplary analysis of the conceptualization and implementation of the MA Program Anglophone Modernities in Literature and Culture the work explores patterns of colonial heritage as well as will to decolonise these. The main thesis claims that (higher) education should be liberated from colonial patterns, so that real participation for all students in the collective knowledge production becomes possible. In the theoretical elaborations different concepts of critical and radical pedagogy, e.g. the ones of Paulo Freire and bell hooks, in combination with concepts about modalities of adult learning (e.g. transformative learning) and approaches to education, seeking to combine learning and social justice (e.g. Social Justice Learning) are systematised and explored for their substance and potential to contribute to a criteria catalogue for decolonised educational practises. Besides, attention is paid on higher education research results, which reveal, that students, who belong to underrepresented groups at university (non-traditional students) in their societies of origin, face more difficulties and discrimination as international students at Western universities, than ‘traditional’ international students do. Based on the theoretical elaborations, the work claims that: (1) the homogeneity-preserving dynamics, found in Western colleges, are an inheritance of colonial time and mindsets, which continue to function in education and multiply social inequality in the context of internationalization, migration, and participation; (2) all, but especially those higher educational programs, dealing explicitly with inequality phenomena, social and cultural diversity, power relations and issues of domination, as well as with postcolonial criticism, should establish premises of equity and provide de-facto equal opportunities for participation through embodiment of social justice as a way to remain credible; (3) decolonization of the educational space can be enabled through appropriate didactic action both on the meso- (institution) and micro-didactical (teaching-learning arrangements) agency levels with sufficient will and willingness of responsible professionals at. By examining representative documents, published by the MA Program Anglophone Modernities in Literature and Culture, using the 'close reading' methodology, as well as through the exemplary analysis of the concept of a teaching-learning program’s event and a student survey, the work seeks to examine wo what extent the Master's Degree Program represents a space of decolonised higher education. The results of the analysis indicate the need for stronger normative value-positioning of the Study program, while many practices that show commitment to participation, social justice and diversity, have been identified. In the last chapter, the results of the theoretical elaboration and the program’s analysis are synthesized in the concept of an integrity-based pedagogy conceptualisation, called Pedagogy of Integrity, and suggestions are formulated for the teaching practice in the study program, which are meant to help overcome the discrepancy between will and practice towards decolonised educational space.

For this purpose, the utilization of affect and emotion in evangelicalism towards the mobilization of its members will be examined in order to find out what similarities to their employment in late modern capitalism can be found. Different examples from within the evangelical spectrum will be analyzed as affective economies in order to elaborate how affective mobilization is crucial for evangelicalism’s worldwide success. Pivotal point of this text is the exploration of how evangelicalism is able to activate the voluntary commitment of its members, financiers, and missionaries. Gathered here are examples where both spheres—evangelicalism and late modern capitalism—overlap and reciprocate, followed by a theoretical exploration of how the findings presented support a view of evangelicalism as an inner-worldly narcissism that contributes to an assumed re-enchantment of the world. N2 - Diese Arbeit ist ein Beitrag zur Erforschung des weltweiten Erfolges des evangelikalen Christentums und bietet eine neue Perspektive auf die Beziehung zwischen spätmodernem Kapitalismus und Evangelikalismus. Zu diesem Zweck wird untersucht, wie Affekt und Emotion im Evangelikalismus eingesetzt werden, um seine Mitglieder zu mobilisieren und inwieweit ähnliche Mobilisierungsstrategien im spätmodernen Kapitalismus wiedererkennbar sind. Ausgewählte Beispiele aus dem evangelikalen Spektrum werden als Affektökonomien analysiert, um herauszuarbeiten, inwieweit die affektive Mobilisierung eine zentrale Bedeutung für den weltweiten Erfolg des evangelikalen Christentums hat. Ein zentraler Punkt dieser Untersuchung ist die Frage, wie der Evangelikalismus seine Mitglieder, Förderer und Missionare zu ihrem außergewöhnlichen Engagement motiviert. Die hier präsentierten Beispiele zeigen auf, in welchen Bereichen sich spätmoderner Kapitalismus und Evangelikalismus überlagern und austauschen. Darauf aufbauend folgt eine theoretische Erkundung, inwieweit die hier präsentierten Ergebnisse eine Beschreibung des Evangelikalismus als innerweltlichen Narzissmus erlauben und einer angenommenen Wiederverzauberung der Welt Vorschub leisten.

It was drawn by Tupaia, an arioi priest, chiefly advisor and master navigator from Ra‘iātea in the Leeward Society Islands in collaboration with various members of the crew of James Cook’s Endeavour, in two distinct moments of mapmaking and three draft stages between August 1769 and February 1770. To this day, the identity of many islands on the chart, and the logic of their arrangement have posed a riddle to researchers. Drawing in part on archival material hitherto overlooked, in this long essay we propose a new understanding of the chart’s cartographic logic, offer a detailed reconstruction of its genesis, and thus for the first time present a comprehensive reading of Tupaia’s Map. The chart not only underscores the extent and mastery of Polynesian navigation, it is also a remarkable feat of translation between two very different wayfinding systems and their respective representational models.

Die drei zugrundeliegenden Forschungsfragen sind: Wie oft werden Schimpfwörter benutzt? Wie werden diese von den Lesern aufgenommen? Beeinflusst das Thema einer Konversation die Reaktion der Leser und die allgemeine Häufigkeit der Nutzung? Die zugrundeliegenden Daten beinhalten fast 900 Millionen Wörter und stammen aus dem Februar 2017. Sie sind damit höchstaktuell und repräsentativ. Im Vergleich zu anderen Untersuchungen ist das Korpus damit wesentlich größer. Zusätzlich werden im theoretischen Teil die linguistischen Grundlagen zu Schimpfwörtern erörtert. Dazu gehören u.a. Konzepte wie die Höflichkeitstheorie, das Thema Tabu und die dazugehörenden Worte und Zensur. Dies wird getan um die Faktoren, die die Benutzung und Verwendung von Schimpfwörtern beeinflussen darzulegen. Dabei wird herausgestellt, was Schimpfwörter so besonders im Vergleich zu anderen Wortgruppen macht. Zudem werden weitere Forschungsergebnisse, die aus anderen Korpora stammen dargelegt und hinterher mit den Resultaten verglichen. Dies beinhaltet Korpora die sich ebenfalls aus Onlinekommunikationen zusammensetzen, sowie Korpora die gesprochene Sprache wiedergeben. Die Ergebnisse aus allen dargestellten Korpora behandeln Ergebnisse aus der englischen Sprache. Die Ergebnisse dieser Studie weisen daraufhin, dass die Schimpfwörter auf Reddit ungefähr gleichhäufig wie auf anderen Plattformen benutzt werden. Die Reaktionen auf diese Schimpfwörter ist überdurchschnittlich positiv, was darauf schließen lässt, dass die Benutzung von Schimpfwörtern auf Reddit nicht als unhöflich aufgefasst wird. Zudem konnte ein Einfluss des Diskussionsthemas auf die Häufigkeit und Rezeption von Schimpfwörtern festgestellt werden. N2 - The paper deals with the usage of swear words on the online forum "reddit". Three research questions are dealt with: How often are swear words used? How are these swear words received by other users? Does the topic of the conversation have an influence on the reception and amount of usage of swear words? The corpus from which the results are taken comprises almost 900 million words. The words are taken from February 2017. Compared to other, similar studies, the corpus is considerably larger and contempory. In addition, the theoretical part discusses the linguistic basics of swear words. These include concepts such as the theory of politeness, the topic of taboos and its corresponding words and censorship. This is done to explain the factors that influence the use and application of swear words and to explain why swearwords are so special in comparison to other word groups. In addition, further research results from other corpora are presented and compared with the results afterwards. This includes corpora that are also composed of online communication, as well as corpora that reproduce spoken language. The results from all the corpora presented deal with results from the English language. The results of this study indicate that the swear words on "reddit" are used approximately as often as they are on other platforms. The perception of these swear words is mostly positive, which suggests that the use of swear words on "reddit" is not perceived as impolite. In addition, an influence of the discussion topic on the frequency and reception of swear words could be determined.

Im Rahmen dessen wird ein Schulbuch (English G 21 A2) daraufhin untersucht ob es kompatibel mit aktuellen Theorien zum Zweitspracherwerb ist. Zu Beginn der Arbeit werden historische und aktuelle Auffassungen zur Grammatikvermittlung zusammengefasst und im Anschluss der aktuelle Rahmenlehrplan auf seine Aussagen hinsichtlich der zu vermittelnden Grammatik im Fremdsprachenunterricht untersucht. Hierbei wird deutlich dass der Rahmenlehrplan des Landes Brandenburg wenige Vorgaben bezüglich der grammatischen Phänomene, die behandelt werden sollen, gibt. Dies erklärt unter anderem den hohen Stellenwert, den Lehrbücher im Fremdsprachenunterricht haben. Sie dienen den Lehrenden als Materialquelle und gleichzeitig als Richtlinie dafür, welche Themen wie und in welcher Reihenfolge unterrichtet werden können. Es folgt eine Übersicht über kognitive Theorien des Zweitspracherwerbs und des Sprachunterrichts, u.a. Krashens Monitorhypothese, R. Ellis‘ Weak Interface Modell oder Pienemanns Processability Theory. Auf der Basis dieser Theorien werden Kriterien für die Gestaltung von Schulbüchern, die einen möglichst aktuellen Erkenntnissen folgenden Grammatikunterricht unterstützen herausgearbeitet. Dazu gehören das Anbieten von viel zielsprachlichem Input, Bereitstellung von Übungen (practice) und bewusstmachenden Aktivitäten (consciousness-raising activities), das Beachten der Erwerbssequenz und das Bereitstellen eines diagnostischen Instruments sodass die Schülerinnen und Schüler herausfinden können, wo sie im Fremdsprachenerwerb stehen und woran sie noch arbeiten müssen. Auch das Anbieten vieler Gelegenheiten zur (individuellen) Wiederholung wird als sehr wichtig herausgestellt. All diese Vorgaben stehen natürlich unter dem Vorbehalt dass Schulbücher den Unterricht nur in begrenztem Maße beeinflussen können und die endgültigen Entscheidungen von den Lehrenden in der Situation getroffen werden. Für den Analyseteil wird eine kommunikative Absicht, die in der Regel im Englischunterricht der Sekundarstufe 1 behandelt wird, herausgegriffen. Es handelt sich dabei um die Fähigkeit, über die Zukunft zu sprechen. Dazu werden zunächst die Möglichkeiten im Englischen über die Zukunft zu sprechen beschrieben und in der didaktischen Analyse für die Vermittlung im Unterricht reduziert. Nach einer Beschreibung des betrachteten Schulbuchs und der Behandlung dieses Themas in diesem Buch wird dies mit den ausgearbeiteten Kriterien verglichen. Hierbei stellt sich heraus, dass das Buch in vielen Punkten durchaus mit aktuellen Zweitspracherwerbstheorien kompatibel ist (z.B. bezüglich des Einarbeitens von Erklärungen zu grammatikalischen Strukturen) in anderen jedoch noch Raum für Verbesserungen besteht (z.B. bezüglich der Fülle des Inputs und der Anzahl an bewusstmachenden Aktivitäten). N2 - This paper deals with the teaching of grammar in the English as a foreign language (EFL) classroom. In this context, a course book (English G 21 A2) is examined in regard to whether it is compatible with current theories about second language acquisition (SLA). At the beginning of this paper, views on grammar teaching from the past and the present are summarized and this is followed by an analysis of the current curriculum concerning its guidelines for grammar teaching in the foreign language classroom. This analysis concludes that the curriculum of Brandenburg hardly gives any recommendations regarding the question of which grammatical phenomena should to be taught. This explains, at least partly, the important position course books take in the foreign language classroom. Teachers use them as a source of material as well has a guideline for which topics can be taught and in which order. The following part gives an overview of cognitive models of SLA and foreign language teaching, among others Krashen’s Monitor Hypothesis, R. Ellis’ Weak Interface Model and Pienemann’s Processability Theory. On the basis of these models criteria for the ideal design of a course book, which would support grammar teaching according to current findings, are developed. Among those criteria are the offering of a lot of input in the target language, provision of practice activities and consciousness-raising activities, taking into consideration the sequence of acquisition and the provision of a diagnostic tool which enables the students to find out in which areas of the target language they need to improve. Furthermore, the inclusion of opportunities for (individual) revision is regarded as essential. All of those criteria are of course given under the reservation that the influence of course books on the happenings in the classroom is restricted as the final decisions are made by the teacher in the teaching situation. In the analysis, one communicative intention which is usually a topic in the English lessons between the third and sixth year of learning is focused on. This communicative intention is talking about the future. First, the possibilities to express futurity in the English language are analysed and reduced for the use in teaching. The chosen course book is then described and analysed and the way the book deals with the topic of talking about the future is compared to the criteria which where specified earlier in the paper. This comparison showed that the book is compatible with SLA theories in many ways (e.g. concerning the explanations of grammatical structures) but that there is still room for improvement (e.g. concerning the amount of input and the number of consciousness-raising activities).

Eliot: Four Quartets as a Multimedia Performance T2 - Zeitschrift für Anglistik und Amerikanistik N2 - This article explores a recent performance of excerpts from T.S. Eliot’s Four Quartets (1935/36–1942) entitled Engaging Eliot: Four Quartets in Word, Color, and Sound as an example of live poetry. In this context, Eliot’s poem can be analysed as an auditory artefact that interacts strongly with other oral performances (welcome addresses and artists’ conversations), as well as with the musical performance of Christopher Theofanidis’s quintet “At the Still Point” at the end of the opening of Engaging Eliot. The event served as an introduction to a 13-day art exhibition and engaged in a re-evaluation of Eliot’s poem after 9/11: while its first part emphasises the connection between Eliot’s poem and Christian doctrine, its second part – especially the combination of poetry reading and musical performance – highlights the philosophical and spiritual dimensions of Four Quartets.
