Merwin and Carolyn Forché / $rDietrich, René -- $t Backmatter 330 $aTaking as its point of departure Nelson Goodman's theory of symbol systems as delineated in his seminal book "Ways of Worldmaking", this volume gauges the possibilities and perspectives offered by the worldmaking approach as a model for the study of culture. Its main objectives are to explore the usefulness and scope of the approach for the study of culture and to supplement Goodman's philosophy of worldmaking with a number of complementary disciplinary perspectives, literary and cultural approaches, and new questions and applications. It focuses on three key issues or concepts which illuminate ways of worldmaking and their interdisciplinary relevance and ramifications, viz. (1) theoretical approaches to ways of worldmaking, (2) the impact of media on ways of worldmaking, and (3) narratives as ways of worldmaking. The volume serves to demonstrate how specific media and narratives affect the worlds that are created, and shows how these worlds are established as socially relevant. It also illustrates the extent to which ways of worldmaking are imbued with cultural values, and thus inevitably implicated in power relations. 410 0$aConcepts for the study of culture ;$v1. 606 $aMass media and culture 606 $aLanguage and culture 606 $aCulture in literature 606 $aDiscourse analysis, Narrative 606 $aCreation (Literary, artistic, etc.) 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMass media and culture. 615 0$aLanguage and culture. 615 0$aCulture in literature. 615 0$aDiscourse analysis, Narrative. 615 0$aCreation (Literary, artistic, etc.) 676 $a302.23 686 $aAK 18000$2rvk 701 $aNu?nning$b Vera$f1961-$01034893 701 $aNu?nning$b Ansgar$0426931 701 $aNeumann$b Birgit$0299082 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910458818603321 996 $aCultural ways of worldmaking$92454289 997 $aUNINA
