"Intermedial Studies provides a concise, hands-on introduction to the analysis of a broad array of texts from a variety of media - including literature, film, music, performance, news, and videogames, addressing fiction and non-fiction, mass media and social media. The detailed introduction offers a short history of the field and outlines the main theoretical approaches to the field. Part one explains the approach, examining and exemplifying the dimensions that construct every media product. The following sections offer practical examples and case studies using many examples, which will be familiar to students, from Sherlock Holmes and football, to news, vlogs and videogames. This book is the only textbook taking both a theoretical and practical approach to Intermedial Studies. The book will be of use to students from a variety of disciplines looking at any form of adaptation, from comparative literature to film adaptations, fan fictions, and spoken performances. The book equips students with the language and understanding to confidently and competently apply their own intermedial analysis to any text"-- Provided by publisher.

Das Buch stellt den Anspruch, Phänomene, die man als "Klassiker" bezeichnet, besser zu verstehen und zugleich tradierter Vorstellungen darüber, was als klassisch gilt oder zu gelten hat, zu korrigieren. Dazu wird "Klassik" nicht, wie in den historischen und ideologiekritischen Debatten üblich, als Epochenbegriff verstanden, sondern als eine kulturelle Praxis, die in medialen und lebensweltlichen Adaptionen realisiert wird. Gefragt wird, kurz gesagt, wie und warum einige Autor*innen oder Werke über längere historische Perioden hinweg präsent bleiben und ein Kulturgut – in dem Fall exemplarisch die Ballade – so ausdrücklich prägen, dass sie als "Klassiker" wahrgenommen werden. Die Antwort geht von der These aus, dass dies – im Unterschied zu immer noch verbreiteten essentialistischen Erklärungsansätzen – nicht von der Qualität des Autors oder der Autorin bzw. ihrer Werke abhängt, sondern von soziokulturellen Bedarfskonstellationen.Im Ergebnis der Arbeit steht ein Zugriff, der "Klassik" nicht wiederholt als ein umstrittenes Konzept problematisiert, sondern als kulturwissenschaftliches Phänomen komplementär zum Kanon heuristisch profiliert und darüber hinaus ein Begriffsangebot zu dessen Analyse macht. For the last three centuries, prominent thinkers have been asking themselves what it is that constitutes a classic. This volume takes up this question and shows how cultural artifacts become and remain classics through transcultural circulation, i.e., through their adaptation in ever-changing media and the expansion of the cultural milieu in which they are received.

Located at the link between man and the nature that surrounds him, food overlaps in the cycle of production, preparation, consumption and excretion of biological necessity, cultural technique and cultural transformation. Against the background of cultural-scientific contexts, food is examined as an "art material", as a material and motif of art, and the material "metabolism" that can be grasped in it between cultural valuations and processes of decay. The anthology brings together questions, discussions and perspectives from the two-day conference "Metabolisms. Food in Art" at the Warburg House and the Dieter Roth Museum Hamburg in November 2017.

Strange as it may seem, Cervantes’s novel Don Quixote , Marc Forster’s film Stranger than Fiction , Shakespeare’s play A Midsummer Night’s Dream , Pere Borrell del Caso’s painting “Escaping Criticism” reproduced on the cover of the present volume and Mozart’s sextet “A Musical Joke” all share one common feature: they include a meta-dimension. Metaization – the movement from a first cognitive, referential or communicative level to a higher one on which first-level phenomena self-reflexively become objects of reflection, reference and communication in their own right – is in fact a common feature not only of human thought and language but also of the arts and media in general. However, research into this issue has so far predominantly focussed on literature, where a highly differentiated, albeit strictly monomedial critical toolbox exists. Metareference across Media remedies this onesidedness and closes the gap between literature and other media by providing a transmedial framework for analysing metaphenomena. The essays transcend the current notion of metafiction, pinpoint examples of metareference in hitherto neglected areas, discuss the capacity for metaization of individual media or genres from a media-comparative perspective, and explore major (historical) forms and functions as well aspects of the development of metaization in cultural history. Stemming from diverse disciplinary and methodological backgrounds, the contributors propose new and refined concepts and models and cover a broad range of media including fiction, drama, poetry, comics, photography, film, computer games, classical as well as popular music, painting, and architecture. This collection of essays, which also contains a detailed theoretical introduction, will be relevant to students and scholars from a wide variety of fields: intermediality studies, semiotics, literary theory and criticism, musicology, art history, and film studies.
