Dieser Sammelband widmet sich dem komplexen Zusammenhang zwischen Sprachhandeln und Fachunterricht aus interdisziplinärer Perspektive: Er bringt fachdidaktische sowie bildungs-, sprach- und kulturwissenschaftliche Ansätze miteinander in den Dialog, fragt nach Voraussetzungen und Effekten von sprachlicher Interaktion in Lehr- und Lernprozessen und identifiziert so unterschiedliche Dimensionen von Sprachsensibilität als Chance und Herausforderung im schulischen Kontext. Er beleuchtet zudem die nicht selten impliziten sprachlichen Anforderungen des Fachunterrichts sowie deren normative Referenzen und spricht sich für eine stärkere Berücksichtigung der Sprachlichkeit von Fachunterricht in der Lehrkräftebildung aus.

All around the world and throughout history, resistance has played an important role - and it still does. Some strive to raise it to cause change. Some dare not to speak of it. Some try to smother it to keep a status quo. The contributions to this volume explore phenomena of resistance in a range of historical and contemporary environments. In so doing, they not only contribute to shaping a comparative view on subjects, representations, and contexts of resistance, but also open up a theoretical dialogue on terms and concepts of resistance both in and across different disciplines. With contributions by Micha Brumlik, Peter McLaren, and others.

Starting from an analysis of practices of participation in contemporary print and other media, the volume opens up a historical perspective, probing the potential of the concept of participatory cultures for the exploration of past forms of collaboration between individual and collective actors (i. e. authors, editors, publishers, fans, critics etc.). In doing so, the volume sheds new light on the historically, culturally, and medially specific forms and functions as well as on the economic, political and institutional parameters that contributed to the emergence and transformation of what turn out to be precarious alliances.

Focusing on the masques and court festivals from 1603 to 1640, this book explores their role in mirroring and shaping the dynamics of Stuart kingship. It delves into the cultural significance of these events, highlighting how they served as both entertainment and political commentary during a transformative period in British history. Through detailed analysis, the work illustrates the interplay between art, power, and royal image in the early modern era.

The book offers an in-depth analysis of the theatrical landscape in the decade prior to the Civil War, exploring how drama reflected and influenced societal tensions and issues of the time. It examines key plays, performances, and playwrights, shedding light on the cultural significance of theater as a medium for political and social commentary during this pivotal period in American history.

From a number of different perspectives, the contributions to this collection of essays set out to explore the media-specific aesthetics and the institutional 'framedness' of contemporary popular music and, in one way or the other, revolve around (but do not exclusively focus on) intermediality and institutionality as two main axes relevant to its analysis. Among other things, they examine the incorporation and/or remediation of popular music in other media, investigate into the ways in which various media appropriate forms and themes of popular music and/or adapt its specific musical poetics, assess the relevance of the music industry in the shaping of pop sounds, artists and fan communities and - against this backdrop - raise questions about the social and cultural significance of the sung word. By 'thick descriptions' of popular musical phenomena from diverse cultural contexts and decades, they contribute to a more thorough understanding of the social, political and economic embeddedness of popular music and help explain why it has so successfully pervaded our everyday lives and why it has become such an essential ingredient in the formation and expression of both individual and collective identities.

Schon seit jeher haben Protestbewegungen in den unterschiedlichsten Sprach- und Kulturräumen eine beträchtliche Anzahl von Liedern hervorgebracht, die gesellschaftliche, politische und ökonomische Missstände in Wort und Klang verarbeiten, kommentieren und kritisieren. Als Teil eines 'kulturpolitischen Gegenprogramms' tragen solche Lieder in der Funktion von Instrumenten radikaler Propaganda oder subtiler Sozialkritik dazu bei, ungehörte Stimmen hörbar zu machen und kollektive Identitäten von Minderheiten zu stärken. Die Beiträge von Literaturwissenschaftlerinnen und Literaturwissenschaftlern sowie von Linguisten aus der Germanistik, der Anglistik und Amerikanistik, der Romanistik und der Japanologie arbeiten heraus, welche lyrischen, musikalischen und performativen Strategien in politischen Liedern und ihren spezifischen historischen und kulturellen Kontexten zum Einsatz kommen und welchen Einfluss diese Strategien auf das Wirkungs- und Funktionspotential der Lieder haben. Durch diese Kultur- und Sprachräume übergreifende Perspektive wird einerseits der Kulturspezifik politisch motivierter Textmusik Rechnung getragen und andererseits deutlich gemacht, dass die gesungene Artikulation von Protest und Widerstand in der Tat ein kulturübergreifendes Phänomen ist.
