Komparatistik online 2019: Berühren. Relationen des Taktilen in Literatur, Philosophie und Theater
(2019)
Körper und ihre Sinneswahrnehmung gehören zu den Voraussetzungen von Literatur und, Philosophie; die Bestimmung ihrer Funktion zählt zugleich zu einer der schwierigsten und umstrittensten Aufgaben dieser Künste und Disziplinen. Der Komplex um das Berühren, zu dem Haptik, Taktilität und Gefühl, Motorik, Sensorik und Affektivität gleichermaßen gehören, ist in der Körper- und Sinnesgeschichte notorisch von Vernachlässigung bedroht, hat in den Kultur- und Medienwissenschaften aber zuletzt neue Aufmerksamkeit erfahren. Philologische Ansätze befinden sich derzeit noch am Rand dieser Debatten, obwohl ihre Begriffe und Verfahren sogar als besonders 'berührungsaffin' gelten können. Genaue philologische Lektüren bieten die Möglichkeit, das je singuläre Verhältnis von Affektion und Sinnlichkeit und die Bedeutung des Tastsinns im Zusammenspiel mit anderen Sinnen zu erfassen. Philologische Verfahren können das metaphorische Potenzial des Berührens ebenso ausloten wie sein Verhältnis zum 'Realen'. Die Beiträge dieses Bandes zur europäischen Literatur, aber auch zur Philosophie von der Antike bis ins späte 20. Jahrhundert untersuchen das Berühren als relationale Figur, in der poetische Gestaltung und Materialität, Bildlichkeit und Buchstäblichkeit, Begreifen und Ergreifen, Anschauung und Affizierung in Beziehung treten. Im Zentrum stehen Fragen nach dem Verhältnis von Gemeinschaft und Individualität, von Literatur und Philosophie sowie nach der Funktion von Ansteckungs- und Distanzierungsverfahren in diesen Zusammenhängen. Dabei geraten gerade auch Wahrnehmungsräume in den Blick, die zumeist unter dem Primat des Visuellen verhandelt wurden. In Re- und Gegenlektüren schlagen die Beiträge eine Ausweitung der Sinnesbezüge vor.
On the one side there is book culture, centered on the printed book as a material object; on the other digital culture, centered on what is displayed on a screen, by now more often than not that of a mobile phone. In the cultural imaginary, the two practices are separated by far more than just media technology. The girl in Delevingne's picture, in choosing to read a book rather than participate in the social media arena, opts (as the black-and-white blocking of the caption neatly reflects) for a commendable type of media use: She sharpens her intellect and exercises her imagination, she digs deep rather than staying on the surface, and she engages – in a seemingly disinterested manner – with valuable content rather than obsessing over how to present herself in the best light. Her absorption is a badge of honor, much different from the 'bad' absorption of digital media users, a recurring trope that is artistically represented, for example, in the much-acclaimed surrealist photo series "SURFAKE" by the French photographer Antoine Geiger, which represents mobile phone users whose faces are sucked into their devices.
The adaptation of disaster: representations of environmental crises in climate change fiction
(2019)
In light of climate change, the attempt to overcome the gap between the 'Two Cultures' appears more urgent than ever. With climate change being only one of the environmental crises marking the so-called Anthropocene, knowledge production and representations are constantly challenged. The very reason that led to the idea of proclaiming a new geological epoch can be taken as evidence for the collapse of the Cartesian dichotomy between nature and culture. The Anthropocene marks an epoch in Earth's history in which the human species has become a geological force. That is, the effects of industrialized civilization are now forming geological strata that irreversibly change the face of the planet and its future. However, if nature and culture cannot be meaningfully distinguished anymore, how, one might ask, is a divide within academia still of concern? Would it not naturally perish with the insight that what has been regarded as nature has now been thoroughly pervaded by remnants of human actions? To the contrary, the persistence of the gap between the sciences and the humanities is one of the main reasons that complicates the representation and, ultimately, hinders the understanding of the problems which characterize the new epoch. Inability or unwillingness to change behavior on a collective level will most probably lead to environmental, political and social disaster on an unprecedented scale.
In this article, I will argue for a different notion of adaptation as a form of appropriation that allows a more productive analysis of the literary works of German author Rainald Goetz. Therefore I will draw on a specific understanding of pop music, which derives from Diedrich Diederichsen 'Über Pop-Musik' (On pop music). According to Diederichsen, pop-music is not limited to certain kinds of music, but moreover to the practices pop-music entails.
In the early 21st century, scientists once more declared God a delusion and announced the end of faith, boosting the current critique of religious belief known as 'New Atheism'. Yet the contemporary British and Irish novel engage with religion in various forms, and religion has indeed "returned", Andrew Tate argues, "to the study of literature". The Bible in particular proves a rich source for novelists as different as Colm Tóibín, Zadie Smith, and Philip Pullman among others. Where Colm Tóibín's 'The Testament of Mary' (2012) offers a fictional memoir by the mother of God, depicting the Virgin Mary as "a powerful, unsparing figure" ('Guardian'), Zadie Smith's 'NW' (2012) describes the lives of its two female protagonists against the backdrop of the stories of Mary and Elizabeth in the Gospel of Luke. And Philip Pullman's bestselling trilogy 'His Dark Materials' (1995- 2000) is a re-writing of Milton's 'Paradise Lost' (1667) that "only really makes sense" according to Tate "if the reader has a detailed knowledge of the biblical scriptures against which it writes". Despite being written from a very critical, ironic or atheist stance, all these novels rely on the Bible as an intertext in crucial ways. The Bible, in other words, is once more living up to its ancient reputation as "the Book of Books", "the Urtext of Western literature".
The discipline of adaptation studies has come a long way from its academic inception in novel-to-film studies. Since George Bluestone's seminal 1957 study Novels into Film, often regarded as the starting point of modern day Anglo-American adaptation studies, the discipline has seen a continual widening of its methodology as well as of the material scholars are willing to regard as adaptations. Particularly since the turn of the 21st century and the increasing institutionalization of the discipline as distinct from literary or film studies, adaptation scholars have widened the scope to include a broad range of media, encompassing not only the traditional adaptations from novels and drama into film, but also novelizations of various other media, video game and comic adaptations, TV series, opera, theme parks and tie in vacations, and many more. Others have included the study of media franchises as dependent on adaptation. As part of this redefinition of the discipline, scholars have also widened their discussion to bring to the centre aspects that were not originally the main focus of adaptation researchers' comparative textual analyses, including industrial structures, legal frameworks, and, most frequently and emphatically, questions of intertextuality and the cultural and ideological embeddedness of adapted texts.
Informationen zu Bildern des Afghanistankriegs werden im Internet auf den Seiten, auf denen sie veröffentlicht werden, ausschließlich durch die das Bild ergänzende Bildunterschrift geliefert. Im Internet gelten spezifische Regeln der Publikation von Bildern, die Einfluss auf Bildmotive und deren Reichweite nehmen. Es existiert eine Informationslücke hinsichtlich der Bildquelle, der innewohnenden Deutungen sowie der Bedingungen ihrer Entstehung und Verbreitung im Internet. Die eigens für Bilder im Internet entwickelte Methode des verfeinerten Netzscans legt die Regularien der Bildveröffentlichungen und Bildproduktionen frei, welche durch den eingebetteten Journalismus, neue netzinhärente Gatekeeping-Prozesse sowie die Suchmaschine Google bestimmt werden und schafft Zugangsweisen der Decodierung von Bildern und deren Quellen.

Preclinical studies point to a pivotal role of the orexin 1 (OX1) receptor in arousal and fear learning and therefore suggest the HCRTR1 gene as a prime candidate in panic disorder (PD) with/without agoraphobia (AG), PD/AG treatment response, and PD/AG-related intermediate phenotypes. Here, a multilevel approach was applied to test the non-synonymous HCRTR1 C/T Ile408Val gene variant (rs2271933) for association with PD/AG in two independent case-control samples (total n = 613 cases, 1839 healthy subjects), as an outcome predictor of a six-weeks exposure-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in PD/AG patients (n = 189), as well as with respect to agoraphobic cognitions (ACQ) (n = 483 patients, n = 2382 healthy subjects), fMRI alerting network activation in healthy subjects (n = 94), and a behavioral avoidance task in PD/AG pre- and post-CBT (n = 271). The HCRTR1 rs2271933 T allele was associated with PD/AG in both samples independently, and in their meta-analysis (p = 4.2 × 10−7), particularly in the female subsample (p = 9.8 × 10−9). T allele carriers displayed a significantly poorer CBT outcome (e.g., Hamilton anxiety rating scale: p = 7.5 × 10−4). The T allele count was linked to higher ACQ sores in PD/AG and healthy subjects, decreased inferior frontal gyrus and increased locus coeruleus activation in the alerting network. Finally, the T allele count was associated with increased pre-CBT exposure avoidance and autonomic arousal as well as decreased post-CBT improvement. In sum, the present results provide converging evidence for an involvement of HCRTR1 gene variation in the etiology of PD/AG and PD/AG-related traits as well as treatment response to CBT, supporting future therapeutic approaches targeting the orexin-related arousal system.
