'Bücher wie ...' Fanliteratur von Buch-Influencern
No full textDer Beitrag beschäftigt sich mit Texten, die zwischen Fanfiction- und Genre-Literatur stehen. Von Verlagen und in digitalen Buch-Communities werden diese Texte damit beworben, dass sie an berühmte Klassiker der Genreliteratur wie Harry Potter, Twilight oder Die Tribute von Panem erinnern. Sie stammen überwiegend von Buchbloggern und Buchinfluencerinnen, die im Zuge wachsender Follower-Zahlen von lesenden zu schreibenden Fans wurden. Für Verlage sind sie attraktive Debütanten, da sie bereits eine große Community mit gemeinsamen Geschmacksvorlieben besitzen. Die Übertragung findet aber nicht nur auf der Inhaltsebene statt. Auch die Vermarktungsstrategien der Vorbilder werden teilweise übernommen. Die epigonalen Bücher werden so präsentiert, als handle es sich bereits um Kultbücher oder Klassiker. In der Rezeption geht dieses Kalkül allerdings nicht immer reibungslos auf. Die digitalen Fan-Gemeinschaften erweisen sich im Hinblick auf die Frage, welche Adaptionen zulässig und originell, welche unoriginell und einfallslos sind, und inwiefern die Anforderungen an das Genre erfüllt wurden, als differenzierte Leserinnen und Leser.This article deals with texts that are somewhere between fan fiction and genre literature. By publishers and in digital book communities, these texts are advertised as being based on famous classics of genre literature such as Harry Potter, Twilight , or The Hunger Games . They come predominantly from book bloggers and book influencers who, as their follower numbers were growing, turned from reading fans to writing fans. For publishers, they are attractive debutants because they already have a large fan community with common taste preferences. However, the transfer does not only take place on the content level. The marketing strategies of the originals are also adopted in part. The epigonal books are presented as if they were already cult books or classics. In terms of reception, however, this calculation does not always work out smoothly. The digital fan communities prove to be differentiated readers with regard to the question of which adaptations are permissible and original, which are unoriginal and unimaginative, and to what extent the requirements of the genre have been met.Open Access funding enabled and organized by Projekt DEAL.Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (1024
Indigenous Australia in the Anthropocene
No full textThis work settles among transdisciplinary perspectives on Anthropocene era Indigenous relations to the settler state, carbon economy, fire and ongoing struggles for Country. Climate change is creating more destructive fires. Indigenous land owners/managers are engaging in the carbon economy through reintroducing nuanced use and management of fire, concomitantly forging greater access to their Country – collectively about 70 per cent of the land area of north Australia is under Savanna Burning (emissions abatement) projects. In the process, Indigenous land managers are reknitting cultural landscapes across borders. Working in the carbon economy requires ‘two-toolbox’ partnerships, incorporating local and Indigenous Knowledge and Western style Science. Fire is a central feature of looking after Country, it is bound by holistic systems of connection, knowledge and belief. Western Knowledge provides emissions accountability needed to access the carbon economy. From the outset of the ranger movement and subsequent engagement with the carbon economy traditional owners have sought firstly to care for their Country, kin and culture. Government support and then carbon dollars have been a means to this end. With the passing of senior cultural leaders core values are increasingly challenged by the need to meet external KPIs and ‘burning for money’. This collaboration produces precious visits to Country, supports on-Country life projects, homelands, refreshes cultural knowledge, language, psychological well-being and resilience. It creates new science, and helps stem global warming. These globally priceless benefits are available only if the state apparatus, policymakers, and industry commentators can loosen an ethnocentric colonial strangle-hold long enough to recognise this mutual value
