Sommario/riassunto

In this wide-ranging study of architecture and cultural evolution, the author argues that underlying the global environmental crisis is a general resistance to changing personal and social identities shaped by a technology-based culture and its energy-hungry products. The book traces the roots of that culture to the coevolution of Homo sapiens and technology, from the first use of tools as artificial extensions of the human body, to the motorised cities spreading around the world, whose uncontrolled effects are changing the planet itself. Advancing a new concept of the meme, called the 'technical meme', as the primary agent of cognitive extension and technical embodiment, the author proposes a theory of the 'extended self' encompassing material and spatial as well as psychological and social elements. Drawing upon research from philosophy, psychology and the neurosciences, the book presents a new approach to environmental and cultural studies that will appeal to a broad readership searching for insights into the crisis.

Sommario/riassunto

Anabel Ternès setzt sich kritisch mit den Theorien der Intertextualität auseinander und diskutiert dabei die Forschung, hier unter anderem Bachtin, Kristeva, Foucault, de Saussure, Genette sowie Lachmann. Das Hauptziel der Autorin liegt darin, eine Semiotik der Intertextualität zu entwickeln. Denn Wörter verändern ihre Bedeutung, tragen aber immer Traditionen der Verwendung in sich. Zusammengesetzt zu Texten ergibt sich ein Mosaik, eine Collage. Dazu diskutiert die Autorin vier Dimensionen von Intertextualität. Der Inhalt Theorien von Intertextualität Die vier Dimensionen der Intertextualität Die Zielgruppe Dozierende und Studierende der Kommunikationswissenschaften, Linguistik sowie Literaturwissenschaft An Sprach- und Literaturphilosophie, Psycholinguistik, Semiotik sowie Intertextualität interessierte Laien Die Autorin Prof. Dr. Anabel Ternès, Geschäftsführerin des Instituts für Nachhaltiges Management, Program Director Kommunikationsmanagement, E-Business und Social Media Management an der SRH Berlin, Co-Founder und Chefredakteurin der „Business Women International“.
