In a moment of intense uncertainty surrounding the means, ends, and limits of (countering) terrorism, this study approaches the recent theatres of war through theatrical stagings of terror. Theatre on Terror: Subject Positions in British Drama charts the terrain of contemporary subjectivities both 'at home' and 'on the front line'. Beyond examining the construction and contestation of subject positions in domestic and (sub)urban settings, the book follows border-crossing figures to the shifting battlefields in Iraq and Afghanistan. What emerges through the analysis of twenty-one plays is not a dichotomy but a dialectics of 'home' and 'front', where fluid, uncontainable subjects are constantly pushing the contours of conflict. Revising the critical consensus that post-9/11 drama primarily engages with 'the real', Ariane de Waal argues that these plays navigate the complexities of the discourse - rather than the historical or social realities - of war and terrorism. British 'theatre on terror' negotiates, inflects, and participates in the discursive circulation of stories, idioms, controversies, testimonies, and pieces of (mis)information in the face of global insecurities.

Bis heute befasst sich die deutschsprachige Literatur mit dem 11. September 2001. Doch wie kann (vom) Terror erzählt werden? Jesko Bender zeigt anhand von Texten von Ulrich Peltzer, Katharina Hacker und Paulus Hochgatterer, dass sie den Terror auf eine jeweils besondere Weise ausbuchstabieren - nicht zuletzt auch, indem sie ihn in einen spezifisch deutschen Kontext einschreiben. Während im politischen Diskurs Terror als das Ende der Kommunikation angesehen wird und die künstlerische Auseinandersetzung stets mit der Frage nach der ethisch-moralischen Zulässigkeit der Ästhetisierung konfrontiert ist, kann aus literaturwissenschaftlicher Perspektive konstatiert werden: Gerade dort, wo erzählt wird, wird es interessant. »Ein überzeugendes ›close reading‹ dreier Romane, deren Auswahl dann auch nicht auf Momenten der ›histoire‹ beruht, sondern eine Typologie der Textualität des Terrors entwirft.« Dana Bönisch, Germanistik, 60/3-4 (2019) O-Ton: »Das Unlesbare des Terrors lesbar machen« - Jesko Bender im Interview bei L.I.S.A. - Wissenschaftsportal Gerda Henkel Stiftung am 11.09.2018.

Obwohl die meisten Werbetexte, Anzeigen und Poster über ein hohes Maß an Literarizität verfügen, werden diese kommerziellen Formen des Schreibens für gewöhnlich von literarischen Texten abgegrenzt. Medienübergreifend werden in Werbeformen poetogene und narrative Strukturen eingesetzt. Umgekehrt ist Literatur heute ein milliardenschweres Konsumgut - und Literaturproduktion und -rezeption damit zwangsläufig von guter Werbung abhängig. Der Band versammelt literatur-, kultur- und medienwissenschaftliche Beiträge zur Funktion und Wirkmächtigkeit literarischer Sprache in Werbetexten, zu Literatur als Konsumgut sowie zu Werbung, Konsum und Überredungskunst als literarischen Topoi. Besprochen werden dabei so unterschiedliche Texte wie die TV-Serie »Mad Men«, die Romane von Émile Zola und die Filme Lars von Triers. Besprochen in: Erfurter Hefte zum angewandten Marketing, 55 (2018)

The experience of being a Muslim in Scotland today is shaped by the global and national post-9/11 shift in public attitudes towards Muslims, and is infused by the particular social, cultural and political Scottish ways of dealing with minorities, diversity and integration. This book explores the settlement and development of Muslim communities in Scotland, highlighting the ongoing changes in their structure and the move towards a Scottish experience of being Muslim. This experience combines a sense of civic and social belonging to Scotland with a strong religious and ideological commitment to Islam.

This book investigates the September 11, 2001 attacks as a case study of cultural trauma, as well as how the use of widely-distributed, easily-accessible forms of popular culture can similarly focalize evaluation of other moments of acute and profoundly troubling historical change. The attacks confounded the traditionally dominant narrative of the American Dream, which has persistently and pervasively featured optimism and belief in a just world that affirms and rewards self-determination. This shattering of a worldview fundamental to mainstream experience and cultural understanding in the United States has manifested as a cultural trauma throughout popular culture in the first decade of the twenty-first century. Popular press oral histories, literary fiction, television, and film are among the multiple, ubiquitous sites evidencing preoccupations with existential crisis, vulnerability, and moral ambivalence, with fate, no-win scenarios, and anti-heroes now pervading commonly-told and readily-accessible stories. Christine Muller examines how popular culture affords sites for culturally-traumatic events to manifest and how readers, viewers, and other audiences negotiate their fallout.
