Are books different? : Die Auswirkungen des Falls der Buchpreisbindung in Großbritannien 1995 - 2006
(2013)
Sicherlich gibt es im Buchhandel wie in jeder anderen Branche Zeiten der Krise und des Umsatzrückgangs, aber grundsätzlich legen die Zahlen nicht nah, dass das Ende bevorsteht. Es stellt sich also die Frage, ob zutrifft, was Richter Buckley in seinem zum geflügelten Wort gewordenen Urteil feststellte: Sind Bücher wirklich anders, oder anders gefragt, braucht der Buchhandel den Schutz des Staates, um seine Funktion erfüllen zu können?
Um eine Antwort auf diese Fragen zu finden, soll in dieser Arbeit das Hauptaugenmerk auf die Entwicklung des britischen Buchhandels im Zeitraum von 1995 (dem Jahr der faktischen Abschaffung des Net Book Agreement bis 2006 gelegt werden. Nach dem beinahe hundertjährigen Bestehen der Buchpreisbindung waren diese Jahre richtungweisend für die Neuorientierung des britischen Buchhandels auf die Bedingungen eines freien Marktes, und es soll untersucht werden, welche Umwälzungen sich daraus für die Branche ergeben haben.
Metrical patterning and rhyme are frequently employed in poetry but also in infant-directed speech, play, rites, and festive events. Drawing on four line-stanzas from nineteenth and twentieth German poetry that feature end rhyme and regular meter, the present study tested the hypothesis that meter and rhyme have an impact on aesthetic liking, emotional involvement, and affective valence attributions. Hypotheses that postulate such effects have been advocated ever since ancient rhetoric and poetics, yet they have barely been empirically tested. More recently, in the field of cognitive poetics, these traditional assumptions have been readopted into a general cognitive framework. In the present experiment, we tested the influence of meter and rhyme as well as their interaction with lexicality in the aesthetic and emotional perception of poetry. Participants listened to stanzas that were systematically modified with regard to meter and rhyme and rated them. Both rhyme and regular meter led to enhanced aesthetic appreciation, higher intensity in processing, and more positively perceived and felt emotions, with the latter finding being mediated by lexicality. Together these findings clearly show that both features significantly contribute to the aesthetic and emotional perception of poetry and thus confirm assumptions about their impact put forward by cognitive poetics. The present results are explained within the theoretical framework of cognitive fluency, which links structural features of poetry with aesthetic and emotional appraisal.
