Jan Wagner Dezember 1914 "One of the Nuts Belonging to the Regiment
Unterrichtsmaterialien Januar 2014, „Krieg und Frieden“ Jan Wagner dezember 1914 "One of the nuts belonging to the regiment got out of the trenches and started to walk towards the German lines." 01 natürlich dachten wir, dass sie plemplem 02 geworden waren, als sie ungeschützt 03 aus ihrer deckung traten, nur mit plum- 04 pudding und mistelzweig - doch kein geschütz 05 schlug an. wir trafen sie im niemandsland, 06 unschlüssig, was zu tun sei, zwischen gräben 07 und grenzen, schlamm und draht, und jede hand 08 an ihrer hosennaht. bis wir die gaben 09 verteilten: einer hatte zigaretten 10 dabei und einer bitterschokolade, 11 ein dritter wusste mittel gegen ratten 12 und läuse. die an diesem punkt noch lade- 13 hemmung hatten, zückten nach dem rum 14 familienfotos, spielten halma 15 und standen lärmend, wechselten reihum 16 adressen, uniformen, helme, 17 bis kaum etwas im schein der leuchtspurgarben 18 auf diesem aufgeweichten, nackten anger 19 zu tauschen übrig blieb außer den gräben 20 im rücken, ihrem namenlosen hunger. (aus: Jan Wagner, „ACHTZEHN PASTETEN“, Berlin Verlag, Berlin 2007) Unterrichtsmaterialien Januar 2014, „Krieg und Frieden“ Der Beginn des Ersten Weltkrieges jährt sich 2014 zum hundertsten Mal. Anlässlich dieses Ereignisses wurde das Leitmotiv „Krieg und Frieden“ ausgewählt. Seitdem es die Menschheit gibt, werden Kriege geführt. Ursachen mögen verschieden sein, Auswirkungen sind ähnlich. Ein Krieg zerstört und vernichtet Städte, Landstriche, Menschenleben, und hat auch enorme Auswirkungen auf gesellschaftliche und kulturelle Traditionen. Der Erste Weltkrieg gilt als „Urkatastrophe des 20. Jahrhunderts“. Auch das Schicksal der modernen Kunst ist eng damit verbunden. Die prägenden Jahre von 1914 bis 1918 waren Endpunkt und Neubeginn zugleich. -

The project was ably overseen by Igballe Rogova from start to finish and indeed would not have been possible without her able leadership and the support of Kosovo Women’s Network staff, especially including Besa Shehu, Nexhmije Cuca Fetahu and Alba Loxha. The KWN research team responsible who researched and interviewed respondents in 2007 included Dafina Beqiri, Ali Misimi, Albana Lumi and Elizabeth Carolan. Nicole Farnsworth helped with interview coding and Deakin University’s International Relations programme funded Jasenka Imsirovic as an additional research assistant. Dafina Beqiri and Jasenka Imsirovic substantially edited the initial draft. This report was compiled and written by Lynne Alice, an international consultant to the Kosovo Women’s Network who teaches human rights and humanitarian law at Deakin University in Australia.

Prelaunch WeserburG 21. mai veranstalter: hochschule bremen | radio bremen Liebe Leserin, lieber Leser, um die Lyrik muss einem nicht bange sein. So ist der Bremer Literaturpreis in diesem Jahr erstmals an zwei Gedichtbände vergeben worden. Wie groß das Interesse an dieser Literaturgattung ist, zeigt auch die Nachfrage an den Lesungen des Festivals ›poetry on the road‹, das nun schon zum 16. Mal in Bremen stattfindet. Anfangs waren die Abende im Schauspielhaus ausverkauft, dann mussten die Veranstalter, Radio Bremen und die Hochschule Bremen, schon in das Theater am Goetheplatz ausweichen. Auch in diesem Jahr werden wieder weltbekannte Lyrikerinnen und Lyriker präsentiert, darunter der Nobelpreisträger Günter Grass, der als außer- gewöhnlich guter Rezitator und Interpret seiner Texte bekannt ist. Erwartet werden auch Michael Krüger, Durs Grünbein, Bei Dao, Nicolas Mahler, Nora Gomringer, Gerhard Rühm, Jan Wagner und Helmut Krausser, auf deren Texte und Vorträge man sich freuen kann. Nadja Küchenmeister, die in diesem Jahr den Förderpreis des Bremer Literaturpreises für ihren Band ›Unter dem Wacholder‹ erhalten hat, wird ein weiteres Mal in Bremen lesen. Der Erfolg von ›poetry on the road‹ resultiert wesentlich aus der Idee, Gäste POETRY ON THE ROAD 2015 einzuladen, die mit ihren ungewöhnlichen Auftritten ihr Publikum bannen. 16. Internationales Literaturfestival Bremen So umfasst das Programm neben klassischer Poesie auch Spoken Word, 28. mai bis 1.

Representations of Social Media in Popular Discourse
REPRESENTATIONS OF SOCIAL MEDIA IN POPULAR DISCOURSE REPRESENTATIONS OF SOCIAL MEDIA IN POPULAR DISCOURSE By PAMELA INGLETON, B.A. (Hons), M.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy McMaster University © Copyright by Pamela Ingleton, December 2017 McMaster University DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (2017) Hamilton, Ontario (English and Cultural Studies) TITLE: Representations of Social Media in Popular Discourse AUTHOR: Pamela Ingleton, B.A. (Hons) (Queen’s University), M.A. (McMaster University) SUPERVISOR: Professor Lorraine York NUMBER OF PAGES: ix, 248 ii Lay Abstract This sandwich thesis of works published from 2010 – 2017 considers how we talk and write about social media in relation to a variety of other concerns: authorship and popular fiction, writing and publishing, archives and everyday life, celebrity and the opaque morality of media promotion. The project addresses social networking platforms (primarily Twitter and Facebook) and those who serve and critique their interests (authors, readers, academics, “everyday people,” national archives, celebrities and filmmakers), often focusing on the “meta” of the media they take as their focus: “extratexts,” reviews and interviews, tweets about books and books about tweets, critical reception, etc. By examining writing on and about social media, this work offers an alternative, context-specific approach to new media scholarship that, in its examination of things said and unsaid, will help inform our contemporary understanding of social media and, by extension, our social media experience. iii Abstract This sandwich thesis of works published from 2010 – 2017 takes up the discursive articulation of “social media” as a mobilizing concept in relation to a variety of other concerns: authorship and popular fiction, writing and publishing, archives and everyday life, celebrity and the opaque morality of media promotion. -

Ralf Schell and Jochen Schubert et. al., Kiepenheuer & Witsch Verlag, Cologne, 2009 “One thinks Heidelberg by day—with its surroundings—is the last possibility of the beautiful; but when he sees Heidelberg by night, a fallen Milky Way, with that glittering railway constellation pinned to the border, he requires time to consider upon the verdict.” Mark Twain A Tramp Abroad Following the Equator, Other Travels, Literary Classics of the United States, Inc., New York, 2010 “The banks of the Neckar with its chiseled elevations became for us the brightest stretch of land there is, and for quite some time we couldn’t imagine anything else.” Zsuzsa Bánk Die hellen Tage S.
