Communicative Figurations TRANSFORMING COMMUNICATIONS – STUDIES IN CROSS-MEDIA RESEARCH Andreas Hepp Andreas Breiter Uwe Hasebrink COMMUNICATIVE FIGURATIONS Transforming Communications in Times of Deep Mediatization Transforming Communications – Studies in Cross-Media Research Series Editors Uwe Hasebrink Hans Bredow Institute for Media Research University of Hamburg Germany Andreas Hepp ZeMKI University of Bremen Germany We live in times that are characterized by a multiplicity of media: Traditional media like television, radio and newspapers remain important, but have all undergone fundamental change in the wake of digitalization. New media have been emerging with an increasing speed: Internet platforms, mobile media and the many different software-based com- munication media we are recently confronted with as ‘apps’. This pro- cess is experiencing yet another boost from the ongoing and increasingly fast sequence of technological media innovations. In our modern social world, communication processes take place across a variety of media. As a consequence, we can no longer explain the infuences of media by focusing on any one single medium, its content and possible effects. In order to explain how media changes are related to transformations in culture and society we have to take into account the cross-media charac- ter of communications. In view of this, the book series ‘Transforming Communications’ is dedicated to cross-media communication research. It aims to sup- port all kinds of research that are interested in processes of communica- tion taking place across different kinds of media and that subsequently make media’s transformative potential accessible. With this profle, the series addresses a wide range of different areas of study: media produc- tion, representation and appropriation as well as media technologies and their use, all from a current as well as a a historical perspective. The series ‘Transforming Communications’ lends itself to different kinds of publication within a wide range of theoretical and methodological backgrounds. The idea is to stimulate academic engagement in cross- media issues by supporting the publication of rigorous scholarly work, text books, and thematically-focused volumes, whether theoretically or empirically oriented.

  • Germany 2020 Human Rights Report
    GERMANY 2020 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Germany is a constitutional democracy. Citizens choose their representatives periodically in free and fair multiparty elections. The lower chamber of the federal parliament (Bundestag) elects the chancellor as head of the federal government. The second legislative chamber, the Federal Council (Bundesrat), represents the 16 states at the federal level and is composed of members of the state governments. The country’s 16 states exercise considerable autonomy, including over law enforcement and education. Observers considered the national elections for the Bundestag in 2017 to have been free and fair, as were state elections in 2018, 2019, and 2020. Responsibility for internal and border security is shared by the police forces of the 16 states, the Federal Criminal Police Office, and the federal police. The states’ police forces report to their respective interior ministries; the federal police forces report to the Federal Ministry of the Interior. The Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution and the state offices for the protection of the constitution are responsible for gathering intelligence on threats to domestic order and other security functions. The Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution reports to the Federal Ministry of the Interior, and the state offices for the same function report to their respective ministries of the interior. Civilian authorities maintained effective control over security forces. Members of the security forces committed few abuses. Significant human rights issues included: crimes involving violence motivated by anti-Semitism and crimes involving violence targeting members of ethnic or religious minority groups motivated by Islamophobia or other forms of right-wing extremism.

  • Kristin Rebien Burned Bridges. the Rise and Fall of the Former BBC
    Kristin Rebien Burned Bridges. The Rise and Fall of the Former BBC Journalist Karl-Eduard von Schnitzler in East Germany Schnitzler’s journalistic career was closely intertwined with larger political developments. Its vicissitudes indicate major shifts in the role of politics in broadcasting. Declared anti-Nazism enabled Schnitzler to receive journalistic training at the BBC German Service during World War II. It also allowed him to rise to a central position in British-controlled post-war radio in Germany. Declared Communism caused him to lose this position at the onset of the Cold War. Schnitzler’s relocation to the East was part of a larger regional concentration of political elites. Parallel to the pressure curve of the Cold War, his career went through a second complete cycle of success and subsequent failure. When the Allies seized Germany in 1945, they brought with them not only their collective visions for a new German state, but also their national cultural beliefs. Traditional regional differences within Germany were now crisscrossed with new lines of difference between the four zones of occupation. Not only was Lower Saxony traditionally different from Bavaria, but new cultural differences arose between the British and the American, the Soviet and the French zone. This new type of regionalism became particularly virulent in the field of radio broadcasting that had to be rebuilt from scratch in all four zones. Post-war broadcasting was, in administrative organization and programming, fundamentally different from National Socialist radio. It also did not revert to the practices of Weimar Republic radio. In the vacuum that arose in 1945, each zone of occupation established its own broadcasting model.

  • 1 the Wall of Words: Radio and the Construction of the Berlin Wall Kate
    The Wall of Words: Radio and the construction of the Berlin Wall Kate Lacey, University of Sussex This paper draws on the BBC monitoring reports of radio stations in the West and East to examine how the building of the Berlin Wall was discursively constructed in the weeks leading up to the overnight closure of the inner city frontier on 13 August 1961. It draws specifically on files relating to broadcasts from both East and West Germany over the summer months to see how the closure of the frontier hung in the airwaves. Background Of course the story of the postwar division of Germany and its capital Berlin into 4 zones is very well known, as is the fact that there had been growing tension and repeated flashpoints as the Cold War set in, from the Soviet blockade of the Western sectors of Berlin and the Berlin Airlift in 1948 that saw the end of the joint administration and led to the foundation in 1949 of the two German states. East Berlin remained as capital of the German Democratic Republic, while the capital of the Federal Republic moved to Bonn, leaving West Berlin formally to remain a territory under Allied supervision, but with open borders to the East. In May 1953 the border was closed between East and West Germany, but not between the two halves of Berlin. Five years later, Kruschchev claimed that Bonn had ‘erected a wall between the two parts of Germany’ (Wilke, p.149) and delivered his Berlin Ultimatum, demanding the withdrawal of Western troops from West Berlin so that Berlin could become a ‘free city’ in a move towards a confederation of the two Germanies.

Heute müssten PolizeibeamtInnen besonders in Ballungsgebieten an fast jedem Wochenende „ihre Haut zu Markte tragen“.

  • They Are Taking Our Women! ?
    They are taking our women! ? Analysing the changes in representations of men with an “Oriental” immigrant background as sexual predators in the Bremen newspaper Weser Kurier before and after the New Year’s night in Cologne 2015/2016 International Migration and Ethnic Relations Bachelor Thesis 15 credits Spring 2018 Miriam Schenk 19941230 - 9628 Supervisor: Anne Sofie Roald Word count: 10 053 Abstract Representing “Oriental” men as sexual predators in the media is a recurring theme that has proliferated since the New Year’s night in Cologne in 2015/2016. This study investigates how the representation of men with an immigrant background as sexual predators has developed in the year before and after the New Year’s night in Cologne in 2015/2016 in the Bremen local newspaper Weser Kurier. The aim of the study is to find out in what ways the representation of “Oriental” man has changed, how a moral panic is established, and how an idea of fear is created. To reach this aim Critical Discourse Analysis will be used in combination with theories concerned with “Othering”, moral panic and Orientalism. Because of the limited scope of this study, it should be considered as a base for future research into the field.
