Integration: The ulturC al Politics Of Migration And Nation In The ewN German Public Abstract This dissertation examines public discourse on culture and integration and asks how do mediated public discussions about integration reproduce norms of national culture and identity that operate to represent and manage “Other” (immigrant, minority, etc.) populations in the German context? Through a case study approach, this dissertation uses critical discourse theory to analyze public campaigns, media events, and mediated controversies since the mid-2000s that sought to define the qualifications for cultural citizenship. Although in recent years an increasing number of publications have addressed Germany’s diverse and transnational population, examinations of processes and policies of integration have tended to focus either on the level of the government or on the level of everyday life. Although ideas about integration and multiculturalism are predominantly forged through events and the surrounding representations in the media, the mid-level processes of the media sphere have been neglected in scholarship.

  • HAPPY FOO YEAR: “NO SON of MINE” SECOND TRACK from FORTHCOMING 10Th ALBUM out NOW MEDICINE at MIDNIGHT AVAILABLE for PRE-ORD
    HAPPY FOO YEAR: “NO SON OF MINE” SECOND TRACK FROM FORTHCOMING 10th ALBUM OUT NOW MEDICINE AT MIDNIGHT AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER AT http://foofighters.co/MAM Foo Fighters are ringing in 2021—literally—with the ear-ringing new “No Son of Mine.” The second track to be revealed from the band’s forthcoming 10th album Medicine at Midnight (out February 5th on Roswell Records/RCA Records), “No Son of Mine” is now available to stream or download, or as an instant grat track with pre-orders placed at foofighters.co/MAM “No Son of Mine” ignites the second half of Medicine at Midnight with a lightning strike of a riFF that builds into the album’s most full-on barnstormer. Replete with nods to familiar FF influences from Queen's "Stone Cold Crazy” to Ace of Spades/Iron Fist-era Motörhead to Metallica's Kill ‘Em All, “No Son of Mine” features a streamlined, minimalist chassis of searing Grohl, Smear and Shiflett licks atop a steel-trap-tight Hawkins/Mendel rhythmic frame. "This is the kind of song that just resides in all of us and if it makes sense at the time, we let it out,” Grohl explains, adding, "Lyrically it’s meant to poke at the hypocrisy of self-righteous leaders, people that are guilty of committing the crimes they’re supposedly against…” Medicine at Midnight is produced by Greg Kurstin and Foo Fighters, engineered by Darrell Thorp and mixed by Mark “Spike” Stent, and packs the following nine songs into a tight-ass 37 minutes: Making a Fire Shame Shame Cloudspotter Waiting on a War Medicine at Midnight No Son of Mine Holding Poison Chasing Birds Love Dies Young Foo Fighters are Dave Grohl, Taylor Hawkins, Nate Mendel, Chris Shiflett, Pat Smear, and Rami Jaffee.
