Serial murder is a global entertainment industry where the serial killer emerges as one of the most significant cultural figures of our time. No longer an exclusively Anglo-American phenomenon, narratives of serial killing are widespread in India, China, Japan, and other cultures. This book asks why this is the case, and how serial violence has been aestheticized in different contexts. It raises important questions regarding the ethics of spectatorship, complicity, and resistance. Unique in its transnational reach, it covers both novels and visual media, both West and East, both perpetrators and witnesses.
Expressive Minds and Artistic Creations: Studies in Cognitive Poetics presents multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research papers describing new developments in the field of cognitive poetics.

The authors have diverse disciplinary backgrounds, but all of them embrace theories and research findings from multiple perspectives, such as linguistics, psychology, literary studies, music, art, neuroscience, and media studies. Several autho...

Building upon recent German Studies research addressing the industrialization of printing, the expansion of publication venues, new publication formats, and readership, Market Strategies maps a networked literary field in which the production, promotion, and reception of literature from the Enlightenment to World War II emerges as a collaborative enterprise driven by the interests of actors and institutions. These essays demonstrate how a network of authors, editors, and publishers devised mutually beneficial and, at times, conflicting strategies for achieving success on the rapidly evolving nineteenth-century German literary market. In particular, the contributors consider how these actors shaped a nineteenth-century literary market, which included the Jewish press, highbrow and lowbrow genres, and modernist publications. They explore the tensions felt as markets expanded and restrictions were imposed, which yielded resilient new publication strategies, fostered criticism, and led to formal innovations. The volume thus serves as major contribution to interdisciplinary research in nineteenth-century German literary, media, and cultural studies.
Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2022 im Fachbereich Literaturwissenschaft - Moderne Literatur, Note: 2,3, Bergische Universität Wuppertal, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Diese Arbeit soll sich mit den Ansichten der männlichen Figuren auf die damaligen professionellen und nicht-professionellen Prostituierten, in Form der Dirnen und sogenannten süßen Mädel, beschäftigen. Es stellt sich die Forschungsfrage: Nutzt Arthur Schnitzler in seinem Drama Reigen die Perspektivstruktur und Kontrast- und Korrespondenzrelationen, um die Frauenfiguren aus der Sicht der männlichen Figuren zu beurteilen? Arthur Schnitzlers Drama Reigen erschien 1900 zunächst nur als limitierter Privatdruck, da die Thematik de...

Ausgehend von den bekannten medialen sowie textsortenspezifischen Präferenzen der nhd. Tempora geht die Studie der Frage nach, inwieweit die Tempusverteilung im Mhd. in Verbindung mit der Kontinuität gesprochensprachlicher Muster bzw. einem Konzept ,,Historischer Mündlichkeit" gebracht werden kann. Auf der Basis einer detaillierten Analyse des Tempussystems um 1200 und einer grundlegenden methodisch-theoretischen Diskussion des Konzepts von ,,Mündlichkeit" im historischen Kontext wird diesbezüglich ein indirekter Zusammenhang aufgezeigt: Die empirisch nachweisbare Präferenz der mhd. Tempora zu dialogischen gegenüber nicht-dialogischen Passagen und die daraus funktional ableitbare Binarisierung des Tempussystems wird auf die Trennung zweier unterschiedlicher Diskursmodi zurückgeführt, deren Grundopposition im möglichen Zusammenfall der Referenzzeit mit dem origo-deiktischen Standort des Sprechers zu sehen ist. Vor diesem Hintergrund wird eine neue Perspektive auf die methodische wie theoretische Erfassung eines Zusammenhangs von Tempus und ,,Historischer Mündlichkeit" eröffnet.
