The fascination of apocalypse: A cultural comparison of Canadian and Central European imaginations
No full textThe modern time seems to be fascinated by the imagination of apocalyptic scenarios. This
master thesis aims to analyse apocalyptic fiction from authors of Canada, Austria and
Germany and draw a comparison between the subject of the stories, the linguistic style as well
as cultural implications made within the narration.
As theoretical basis the work is using cultural and historical implications in the chosen
countries as well as Klaus Vondungs theory of a ‘kupierte Apokalypse’- the apocalypse
without the biblical revelation - which builds the foundation of the analysis. The methodical
approach is using the ‘Cultural Theory’ by Mary Douglas and the ‘6 Dimension Model of
National Culture’ by Geert Hofstede to analyse cultural characteristics in the different
countries examined, and represents the question of cultural coded specifics of apocalyptic
fiction.
Five narrations form the basis of the interpretative work and represent the countries listed
above. ‘Die Arbeit der Nacht’ written by Thomas Glavinic and ‘die alarmbereiten’ by Kathrin
Röggla represent the Austrian literature; ‘Station Eleven’ by Emily St. John – Mandel and
Oryx and Crake written by Margaret Atwood stand for the Canadian literature. The last novel
‘Der Schwarm’ by Frank Schätzing is the only apocalyptic narration written by a German
author during the 21st century and is broaching the issue of a lack of German literature in this
field since the end of the last century. The analysis is showing the correlation of the cultural
background of the author and its imagination of the end of the world. It is possible to find
clear evidence of a cultural code implemented in the narrations which is showing different
point of views and various focal points.
The final chapter of the thesis is broaching the issue of literature as interpretative medium for
social issues as well as preservation of cultural and historical specifics. It is following an
application on the Corona Virus crisis during 2020 and is showing how wording is draws a
comparison between the pandemic and an apocalyptic situation

Television in Literature
No full textIn this master thesis I discuss a topic which is highly neglected. We do see people reading all the time. When we see a person holding a book in his or her hands in the bus, we associate this person as being smart and educated as this person is not staring in his or her mobile phone. We also see actors reading a book in a movie, or talk shows about people discussing books, for example Das Literarische Quartett. There is a unclear amount of literary films, for example Das Buch der Vorleserin, Harry Potter and many more. But while reading a book yourself, one barely reads about a character watching television.
There are many analyses and discussions about the importance of literature for television, but there is barely research about the role of television in literature. This thesis occupies this niche as it discusses the function of television in literature.
In order to create a deeper understanding for the medium television, I reconstruct the history of television since the Second World War. I sum up technical advances and analyze its effect on the society, and how the human medium behavior changed over the past 50 years. I stop the reconstruction at the turn of the millennium as the rise of the internet revolutionised human media behavior, which opens a new field of research.
I analyze the function of literature in four novels: Botho Strauß (1977): „Die Widmung“, Eckard Henscheid (1984): „Beim Fressen beim Fernsehen fällt der Vater dem Kartoffel aus dem Maul“, Matthias Zschokke (1982): „Max“, and Jean-Philippe Toussaint (2001): „Fernsehen“. These were the only novels I could find which mention a television in any matter. I studied the novels and scrutinized every reference of television as an object and as an action, when a character was watching television. I analyzed the importance of the medium (television) or the action (watching television) for the story, the relationship between the characters and the medium, and between the narrator or author and the medium, and the connotation of the words, which described the scene.
While I was considering the different circumstances of the time of origin of the novels, I summed up differences and similarities between the novels. Outstanding was the fact, that all four novels presented bad effects of the medium television and watching TV. In my last chapter I try to answer the question, why there are a few books, which mention a television in their story and why the narrator and/ or the author of the book is blackguarding television in all cases. I want to answer the question, if the answer lies in the never ending competition between literature and television. The duo literature and television has a difficult past filled with periods of approximation and alienation, which I also reconstruct within the introduction. Is there a connection to the fact that the writers ignored television for years
»Adorno war mein Held« : der Politikwissenschaftler Prof. Bassam Tibi besuchte nach über 50 Jahren wieder das Studienkolleg an der Goethe-Universität. Diskussion mit Geflüchteten
No full textEr kam als junger Syrer Anfang der 60er Jahre nach Frankfurt. Am Studienkolleg der Goethe-Universität lernte er Deutsch, später dann studierte er bei Theodor W. Adorno und Iring Fetscher politische Philosophie. Mit 28 wurde Bassam Tibi Professor für Politikwissenschaft an der Universität Göttingen. Mittlerweile ist er emeritiert, aber seine Expertise ist nicht nur beim Thema Islam immer noch gefragt. Anfang Dezember diskutierte Tibi auf Einladung des Studienkollegs mit Geflüchteten des Academic Welcome Program. Und der Besuch des Adorno-Denkmals auf dem Campus Westend war für den 72-Jährigen natürlich Ehrensache
