Zeitgeistjournalismus, wie er sich in Deutschland besonders in der »Tempo« zeigte, stellte in den 1980er Jahren einen wichtigen Kontext von Popliteratur dar. Er verstärkte und prägte die Lifestyle-Richtungen der Zeit, ihre Wertmaßstäbe sowie Darstellungsweisen und lieferte die ästhetischen Grundlagen für das Entstehen einer Oberflächenästhetik in der Literatur. Der bunte, leicht zu konsumierende, modische Prätext rückt die Unliebsamkeit der Popliteratur innerhalb der deutschsprachigen Literaturgeschichte erstmals in den Vordergrund. Kristin Steenbock schlägt einen neuen, kritischen und informierten Perspektivwechsel auf deutschsprachige Popliteratur vor und beleuchtet Themen wie Gender Bias, Postheroismus und den westdeutschen Blick über die wiedervereinigte Nation hinweg. »Kein populäres Sachbuch, aber Steenbock verzichtet auf Begriffsgeflexe [...]. Sie breitet ruhig ihre Fülle an Befunden aus, und diese lohnen die Sichtung allemal.« Andrea Diener, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, 22.07.2020 »Informative und gut recherchierte Studie.« Simon Sahner, www.54books.de, 10.06.2020

This book investigates the emergence of the modern concept of zeitgeist, the notion of a pervasive contemporary coherence, in the late 18th century. It traces zeitgeist's descent from genius saeculi and investigates its association with public spirit and public opinion before surveying its prominence around the Wars of Liberation in Germany and during the politically restless 1820s in England. This trajectory shows that zeitgeist emerged from the 18th-century discourses about culture and the public functioning of social collectives. Under the impact of the French Revolution the term came to describe social processes of political and cultural challenge. Zeitgeist was discussed as a social dynamic in which emerging elites disseminate new ideas which find enough public approval to influence cultural and political behaviour and practice. These findings modify the view that zeitgeist eludes critical grasp and is mainly invoked for manipulative purposes by showing that the zeitgeist discussions around 1800 contributed to the formation of modern politics and capture key aspects of how ideas are disseminated within societies and across borders, providing a way of reading history horizontally.

"Twenty-first century fashion practice has become increasingly borderless and diverse in the digital era, calling into question the very boundaries that define fashion in the Western cultural context. Borderless Fashion Practice: Contemporary Fashion in the Metamodern Age principally engages the work of four fashion designers -- Virgil Abloh, Aitor Throup, Iris Van Herpen, and Eckhaus Latta -- whose work intersects with other creative disciplines such as art, technology, science, architecture, and graphic design. They do their work in what Vanessa Gerrie calls the metamodern age -- the time and place where the polarization between the modern and the postmodern collapses. Used as a framework to understand the current Western cultural zeitgeist, Gerrie's exploration of the work of contemporary practitioners and theorists finds blurred borders and seeks to blur them further, to the point of erasure"--

Paul Danler nimmt sich dem klassischen Populismus Lateinamerikas in einem Dreischritt an: Zunächst beleuchtet er die Ursprünge des Populismus, ergründet und porträtiert daraufhin den klassischen Populismus Lateinamerikas, um schließlich der Frage nach allgemeinen Merkmalen des Populismus nachzugehen. Dabei gewährt die Politolinguistik als Untersuchungsmethode - die in ihrem Ansatz Interessen und Analysestrategien der Politik- und Sprachwissenschaft kombiniert - sowie als moderne und aufschlussreiche Teildisziplin der angewandten Linguistik völlig neue Einblicke in die Mechanismen der Sprache der Politik.

This book investigates a new form of fiction that is currently emerging in contemporary literature across the globe. 'Novels of the contemporary extreme' - from North and South America, from Europe, and the Middle East - are set in a world both similar to and different from our own: a hyper real, often apocalyptic world progressively invaded by popular culture, permeated with technology and dominated by destruction. While their writing is commonly classified as 'hip' or 'underground' literature, authors of contemporary extreme novels have often been the center of public controversy and scandal; they, and their work, become international bestsellers. This collection of essays identifies and describes this international phenomenon, investigating the appeal of these novels' styles and themes, the reasons behind their success, and the fierce debates they provoked
