Sommario/riassunto

An important new collection of original essays that examine how



Ellison's landmark novel, Invisible Man (1952), addresses the social, cultural, political, economic, and racial contradictions of America. Commenting on the significance of Mark Twain's writings, Ralph Ellison wrote that ""a novel could be fashioned as a raft of hope, perception and entertainment that might help keep us afloat as we tried to negotiate the snags and whirlpools that mark our nation's vacillating course toward and away from the democratic ideal."" Ellison believed it was the contradiction between America's ""noble id

Sommario/riassunto

'Trolls for Trump', virtual rape, fake news - social media discourse, including forms of virtual and real violence, has become a formidable, yet elusive, political force. What characterizes online vitriol? How do we understand the narratives generated, and also address their real-world - even life-and-death - impact? How can hatred, bullying, and dehumanization on social media platforms be addressed and countered in a post-truth world? This book unpicks discourses, metaphors, media dynamics, and framing on social media, to begin to answer these questions. Written for and by cultural and media studies scholars,



journalists, political philosophers, digital communication professionals, activists and advocates, this book makes the connections between theoretical approaches from cultural and media studies and practical challenges and experiences 'from the field', providing insight into a rough media landscape.

Experimentalkulturen -- Vom Experimentieren in Städten -- Promotoren und Strategien der Experimentalkultur.

Sommario/riassunto

Die Beiträge des Bandes befassen sich mit den ständigen Veränderungsprozessen, denen Städte unterworfen sind. Sie sind geprägt von Aufbau und Zerfall, Chaos und Planung. In ihnen kumuliert das soziokulturelle und technische Gefüge moderner Gesellschaften.



Prägend sind dabei beispielsweise Symptome der zunehmenden Segregation oder der Verödung der Innenstädte. Anderseits erstarken soziale Innovationen, wie z.B. die Do-it-yourself-Bewegung in welcher verstärkt auch Kreativschaffende oder Künstler als Schnittstellenakteure fungieren und mit Ihren Aktivitäten in den öffentlichen Raum intervenieren. Die daraus entstehenden Narrationen, Atmosphären und deren Interpretationen prägen als soziokulturelle Ausdrucksformen den Körper einer Stadt und zeichnen Erzählungen des Wandels nach. Der Band setzt sich mit diesen Phänomenen sowohl theoretisch als auch empirisch auseinander. Der Inhalt Experimentalkulturen.- Vom Experimentieren in Städten.- Promotoren und Strategien der Experimentalkultur. Die Zielgruppe Studierende und Lehrende der Kultur- und Stadtsoziologie sowie kulturwissenschaftlicher und nachhaltigkeitswissenschaftlicher Studiengänge Die Herausgeberinnen Julia-Lena Reinermann ist wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin am Zentrum für Logistik und Verkehr und Doktorandin am Institut für Kommunikationswissenschaft der Universität Duisburg-Essen. Friederike Behr ist wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin am Kulturwissenschaftlichen Institut Essen und Doktorandin an der TU Dortmund, Fachbereich Raumplanung. .
