Mapping current literary research on textual space and space texts
No full textMit dem Handbuch Literatur & Raum liegt eine innovative Orientierungshilfe im Bereich der interdisziplinären literaturwissenschaftlichen Forschung zu Texträumen und Raumtexten vor. An aktuellen Forschungsfragen ausgerichtet, überzeugt das Handbuch vor allem durch seine gut lesbaren, fachlich sehr informativ und dicht geschriebenen Artikel. Gezielte Rückgriffe auf den Kanon der raumtheoretischen Texte verdeutlichen die in den exemplarischen Analysen von Primärtexten genutzten theoretischen Zugänge. So bildet das Buch den aktuellen Stand der literaturwissenschaftlichen Raumforschung ab.The Handbook to Literature & Space (Handbuch Literatur & Raum) provides an innovative guide to the field of interdisciplinary literary research on textual spaces and space texts. Following up-to-date research questions, the handbook offers comprehensible texts which are nevertheless informative and written densely. Single entries have been interlinked extensively. Exemplary analyses of primary texts are illustrated by specific recourse to the canonical texts of spatial theory. The book therefore offers insight especially into current research on space in literary studies

Siren Songs and Echo’s Response: Towards a Media Theory of the Voice in the Light of Speech Synthesis
No full textIn contrast to phonographical recording, storage, and reproduction of the voice, most media theories, especially prominent media theories of the human voice, neglected the aspect of synthesizing human-like voices by non-human means. This paper takes this lacuna as a starting point for an inquiry into the media theory of (non)human voices under the premise that the epistemological difference between techn(olog)ical voice production and its mere re-production is illuminated by the mythological motifs of the Sirens and Echo, respectively. Interestingly, the interconnection between terror and tempting nonhuman voices, which is implemented in the cultural imaginary through the Sirens’ song, can be identified in the media history of speech synthesis, which challenges the idea(l) of the human voice as an anthropological constant. The main concerns here are to re-read the critique of Derrida’s Of Grammatology and other theories of the human voice in the light of speech synthesis and show how the oft-used term ‘disembodied voice’ is inadequate when it comes to describing phonographical, radiophonic, and telephonic hearing situations
Embodied, Relational Practices of Human and Non-Human in a Material, Social, and Cultural Nexus of Organizations
No full textThis article explores the significance of materiality and non- or other-human, especially the role of body and embodiment in relation to intra- and inter-practices in organizations and their culture from a phenomenological perspective and cross-disciplinary approach. Following a Merleau-Pontyian approach, the non-human is discussed in relation to cultural practices in organizational life-worlds. Based on a critique of physicalist empiricism and idealistic rationalism, impasses and limitations of naturalist and constructionist approaches towards culture are problematized. Showing the co-constitutive role of the in(ter)-between and inter-corporeality allows interpreting the corporeal nexus of material, social, and cultural phenomena of inter-practices within a continuum of the human and non-human, thus as an entangled ‘non-+-human’ web. Finally, the paper discusses some implications and perspectives on the ‘non-+-human’ in the study and practice of culture by particularly outlining an ethos of ‘engaged releasement’ (‘Gelassenheit’). This orientation will be presented as a letting be-come in relation to things and thinking for mediating a living sustainable ‘bodiment’ of human and more-than-human dimensions

Two Tales of A Single City - New Urban Cultural Studies Perspectives on New York City
Get PDFDie Monographien von James Peacock und Christoph Lindner eint ihre Beschäftigung mit der Metropole New York City, gleichwohl sich ihr inhaltlicher Fokus als auch ihre interdisziplinäre Methodik stark unterscheiden. Während sich James Peacocks Brooklyn Fictions: The Contemporary Urban Community in a Global Age vor allem durch seinen Fokus auf Brooklyn und damit auf einen in der bisherigen Forschung unterrepräsentierten Teil New Yorks hervortut, zeichnet sich Christoph Lindner’s Imagining New York City: Literature, Urbanism, and the Visual Arts, 1890-1940 im Besonderen durch seine innovative und originelle Struktur und seinen überzeugenden interdisziplinären Ansatz aus. So gelingt es beiden Werken einen wert- und gehaltvollen Beitrag sowohl zur interdisziplinären Stadtforschung als auch zur Erforschung New York Citys beizusteuern.The monographs of James Peacock and Christoph Lindner both add to the urban studies scholarship on the city of New York, yet with two distinctly different foci and respective interdisciplinary approaches. James Peacock’s Brooklyn Fictions: The Contemporary Urban Community in a Global Age marks the first treatment of the New York City borough of Brooklyn and literary representations of it as singular and separate from its dominant neighboring borough, Manhattan, thus closing a gap in existing scholarship on New York City. By contrast, Christoph Lindner’s Imagining New York City: Literature, Urbanism, and the Visual Arts, 1890-1940, as should be apparent from its title, takes the whole city of New York as its field of inquiry while impressing with an innovative structure and a convincing interdisciplinary approach
