    Stereotypes, prejudices, hostile images and clichés are different forms of self-images and images of others. This paper establishes stereotypes as a scalable concept to distinguish them from other forms of fixed attributions. It features a comparison of national stereotypes about Germany, the Germans and the German language from a Dutch and Russian perspective and discusses the use of stereotypes in foreign language teaching, which are aimed at culturally reflective learning.Stereotypes, prejudices, hostile images and clichés are different forms of self-images and images of others.

    Zwischen Sprachen en culturen

    Full text link
    Zwischen dem deutschen und niederländischen Sprachraum existieren seit jeher umfassende kulturelle Wechselbeziehungen. Insbesondere sprachliche und literarische Einflüsse sowie der Austausch von Wissen auf zahlreichen Gebieten belegen den intensiven Kulturtransfer. Dieser beschränkt sich jedoch nicht auf das Grenzgebiet zwischen Deutschland, den Niederlanden und Flandern/Belgien, sondern zieht weite Kreise über Hamburg, Frankfurt oder Paris bis nach Indonesien und in den Süden Afrikas. Literatur-, Sprach- und Übersetzungswissenschaftler, Historiker und Übersetzer aus den genannten Ländern beleuchten ausgewählte Aspekte dieses Transfers in ihrer eigenen Sprache. Auf diese Weise eröffnet der Band transdisziplinäre Untersuchungsperspektiven auf die ausgeprägten Wechselbeziehungen im niederländischen, deutschen und afrikaansen Sprachgebiet vom Mittelalter bis zur Gegenwart

    Erinnerungskultur – Vielfalt der Perspektiven

    No full text
    The way in which people look back on past eras or events is decisive for their political and social self-image. This volume deals with various concepts of remembrance and the struggle for historical memory from different perspectives. The focus is on the culture of remembrance in the Netherlands, Belgium and Flanders, Luxembourg and Germany. Practices of remembrance of the Nazi era and the Second World War, the Reformation and the uprising against Spain in Belgium and Luxembourg, the Dutch War of Independence and the history of Flanders are addressed. Rupture lines emerge with regard to the genocide in Srebrenica (1995) and the German-Dutch rivalry in soccer. It also deals with a heated scholarly dispute in the Netherlands over an 18th century Duisburg disputation, the reception of works by the writer Carmen Sylva, a princess with Lower Rhine roots, in the Netherlands around 1900 and the National Socialist Rhineland State Farmers' Council, which has been neglected in historical research to date

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
