Der Band zielt auf eine Standortbestimmung der Mediävistik zwischen Texttheorie und Kulturanthropologie. Dabei werden die verschiedenen Versuche einer mediävistischen Anknüpfung an neuere Text- und Kulturtheorien in ihren Auswirkungen auf Fragen von Textkonstitution, literarischer Funktionsgeschichte, von Epochenbestimmung und Werkverständnis ausgelotet.

Text World Theory and Keats' Poetry: The Cognitive Poetics of Desire, Dreams and Nightmares (Advances in Stylistics)

by Marcello Giovanelli

Text World Theory and Keats' Poetry applies advances in cognitive poetics and text world theory to four poems by the nineteenth century poet John Keats. It takes the existing text world theory as a starting point and draws on stylistics, literary theory, cognitive linguistics, cognitive psychology and dream theories to explore reading poems in the light of their emphasis on states of desire, dreaming and nightmares. It accounts for the representation of these states and the ways in which they are likely to be processed, monitored and understood. Text World Theory and Keats' Poetry advances both the current field of cognitive stylistics but also analyses Keats in a way that offers new insights into his poetry. It is of interest to stylisticians and those in literary studies.

Textanfänge: Abgrenzungs- und Definitionsfragen am Beispiel verschiedener Textsorten (Linguistik in Empirie und Theorie/Empirical and Theoretical Linguistics)

by Anne-Laure Daux-Combaudon Ricarda Schneider

Ausgehend von der Annahme, dass ein Text das Ergebnis einer Kommunikationsabsicht ist, werden in den Beiträgen des Bandes eine Vielfalt von Textanfängen, die verschiedenen Textsorten angehören, und deren spezifische Besonderheiten untersucht. Den Beiträgen liegen sowohl schriftliche als auch mündliche Textkorpora zugrunde, die journalistische und politische Texte (Pressekommentare und Reden), Gebrauchstexte (Kochrezepte), Fachtexte (Verträge und Gesetze) sowie multimodale Texte (Werbeplakate und Direkt-Marketing-Texte) und Gespräche (Mutter-Kind-Interaktionen) einschließen. Die Analysen gehen von einem syntaktischen, semantischen, pragmatisch-sprechakttheoretischen, didaktischen und/oder textlinguistischen Standpunkt aus.

The Textbook and the Lecture: Education in the Age of New Media (Tech.edu: A Hopkins Series on Education and Technology)

by Norm Friesen

Why are the fundamentals of education apparently so little changed in our era of digital technology? Is their obstinate persistence evidence of resilience or obsolescence? Such questions can best be answered not by imagining an uncertain high-tech future, but by examining a well-documented past;¢;‚¬;€?a history of instruction and media that extends from Gilgamesh to Google. Norm Friesen looks to the combination and reconfiguration of oral, textual, and more recent media forms to understand the longevity of so many educational arrangements and practices.Friesen examines the interrelationship of reading, writing, and pedagogy in the case of the lecture and the textbook;¢;‚¬;€?from their premodern to their postmodern incarnations. Over hundreds of years, these two forms have integrated textual, oral, and (more recently) digital media and connected them with changing pedagogical and cultural priorities. The Textbook and the Lecture opens new possibilities for understanding not only mediated pedagogical practices and their reform but also gradual changes in our conceptions of the knowing subject and of knowledge itself.Drawing on wide-ranging scholarship in fields as diverse as media ecology and German-language media studies, Foucauldian historiography, and even archaeological research, The Textbook and the Lecture is a fascinating investigation of educational media.

Textbooks and War: Historical and Multinational Perspectives (Palgrave Studies in Educational Media)

by Eugenia Roldán Vera Eckhardt Fuchs

This volume reflects on the role played by textbooks in the complex relationship between war and education from a historical and multinational perspective, asking how textbook content and production can play a part in these processes. It has long been established that history textbooks play a key role in shaping the next generation’s understanding of both past events and the concept of ‘friend’ and ‘foe’. Considering both current and historical textbooks, often through a bi-national comparative approach, the editors and contributors investigate various important aspects of the relationships between textbooks and war, including the role wars play in the creation of national identities (whether the country is on the winning or losing side), the effacement of international wars to highlight a country’s exceptionalism, or the obscuring of intra-national conflict through the ways in which a civil war is portrayed. This pioneering book will be of interest and value to students and scholars of textbooks, educational media and the relationships between curricula and war.

Textil & Raum: Visuelle Poetologien in Gustave Flauberts Madame Bovary (machina #11)

by Kathrin Fehringer

Madame Bovary (1857) ist nicht nur die Geschichte einer stickenden Heldin, die sich mit Romanlektüren, mit Text und Bild, buchstäblich vergiftet. Gustave Flaubert inszeniert seine Protagonistin auch in Anspielung auf berühmte Handarbeiterinnen wie Homers Penelope, Ovids Arachne und die Heilige Maria. Dabei werden nun die geschlossenen (Garten-)Räume bedeutsam, in denen diese Frauenfiguren in Kunst und Literatur klassischerweise gezeigt werden. Kathrin Fehringers Studie zeichnet nach, wie der Autor - in seinem eigenen Inklusorium bei Rouen schreibend - sein Erzählen ebenfalls als textile Handarbeit versteht und sich damit in seiner Heldin selbst zu erkennen gibt. In meisterhafter Ironie setzt er sich, konfrontiert mit einer durch neue Reproduktionsverfahren hervorgerufenen Flut von Bildern, in seinem »Buch über nichts«, wie er berühmterweise sagte, mit der Moderne auseinander.

Texts and Cultural Change in Early Modern England (Early Modern Literature in History)

by Cedric C. Brown Arthur F. Marotti

This is a wide-ranging, closely-researched collection, written by scholars from both sides of the Atlantic, on the cultural placement and transmission of texts between 1520 and 1750. Material and historical conditions of texts are analysed, and the range of works is wide, including plays and the Lucrece of Shakespeare (with adaptations, and a discussion of 'reading' playtexts), Sidney's Arcadia, Greene's popular Pandosto (both discussed in the contexts of changing readerships and forms of fiction), Hakluyt's travel books, funerary verse, and the writings of Katherine Parr and Elizabethan Catholic martyrs.

Texts and Practices Revisited: Essential Readings in Critical Discourse Analysis

by Carmen Rosa Caldas-Coulthard Malcolm Coulthard

This is a second edition of the ground-breaking volume Texts and Practices: Readings in Critical Discourse Analysis, which was the first published collection of chapters presenting critical discourse analysis theory and practice. Critical discursive approaches have now become the main trend in most discursive and semiotic investigations. It was then, and is especially now, predominantly concerned with identifying, demystifying and resisting the ways language and semiotic systems are used to reflect, create and sustain inequalities in specific contexts. This new collection presents contributions by all six of the living authors who were central to the first edition: Norman Fairclough, Theo van Leeuwen, Teun van Dijk, Ruth Wodak, Caldas-Coulthard and Coulthard - plus an edited version of a jointly authored classic chapter originally authored by Roger Fowler and Gunther Kress. There are four new chapters written by the other leading members of the foundational 1990s European Critical Discourse Analysis group: Phil Graham, Jay Lemke, David Machin and Louisa Rojo and two by young critical discourse researchers who have risen to prominence more recently: Rodrigo Borba and German Canale. Texts and Practices Revisited: Essential Readings in Critical Discourse Analysis provides a representative collection of work which, while authored by the pioneering researchers of the first wave of CDA, illustrates their most recent concerns and their latest analytical techniques. It is an essential text for all advanced students of English language, linguistics, media and cultural studies.

Texts and readers in the Age of Marvell

by Matthew C. Augustine Christopher D'Addario

Texts and Readers in the Age of Marvell offers fresh perspectives from leading and emerging scholars on seventeenth-century British literature, with a focus on the surprising ways that texts interacted with writers and readers at specific cultural moments.

Texts and readers in the Age of Marvell

by Christopher D'Addario Michael Scoenfeldt Randy Robertston Derek Hirst Kathleen Lynch Nigel Smith Timothy Raylor Anne Cotterill Joad Raymond Matthew C. Augustine Michael McKeon Steven Zwicker

Texts and Readers in the Age of Marvell offers fresh perspectives from leading and emerging scholars on seventeenth-century British literature, with a focus on the surprising ways that texts interacted with writers and readers at specific cultural moments. With an eye to the elusive and complicated Andrew Marvell as tutelary figure of the age, the contributors have provided nuanced and sophisticated readings of a range of seventeenth-century authors, often foregrounding the uncertainties and complexities with which these writers were faced as the remarkable events of these years moved swiftly around them. The essays make important contributions, both methodological and critical, to the field of early modern studies and include examinations of prominent seventeenth-century figures such as John Milton, Andrew Marvell, John Dryden and Edmund Waller.

Texts and Textuality: Textual Instability, Theory, and Interpretation (Wellesley Studies in Critical Theory, Literary History and Culture)

by Philip G. Cohen

These essays deal with the scholarly study of the genesis, transmission, and editorial reconstitution of texts by exploring the connections between textual instability and textual theory, interpretation, and pedagogy.What makes this collection unique is that each essay brings a different theoretical orientation-New Historicism, Poststructuralism, or Feminism-to bear upon a different text, such as Whitman's Leaves of Grass, Faulkner's The Sound and the Fury, or hypertext fiction, to explore the dialectical relationship between texts and textuality.The essays bring some of the textual theories that compete with each other today into contact with a broad range of primarily literary textual histories. That texts are intrinsically unstable, frequently consisting of a series of determinate historical versions, has consequences for all students of literature, because different versions of a literary work frequently help shape different readings independently of the interpretations brought to bear upon them. Textual instability of the works is relevant to our understanding of how the meanings of texts are generated. The contributors build on the numerous challenges to the Anglo-American editorial tradition mounted during the past decade by scholars as diverse as Jerome McGann, D.F. McKenzie, Peter Shillingsburg, D.C. Greetham, Hershel Parker, and Hans Walter Gabler. The volume contributes to the paradigm shift in textual scholarship inaugurated by these scholars. Index.

Texts from the Querelle, 1521–1615: Essential Works for the Study of Early Modern Women: Series III, Part Two, Volume 1 (The Early Modern Englishwoman: A Facsimile Library of Essential Works Series III, Part Two)

by Pamela J. Benson

Misogyny and its opposite, philogyny, have been perennial topics in Western literature from its earliest days to the present day, but only at certain historic periods have pro-woman authors challenged fundamental negative assumptions about women by engaging in formal debate with misogynists and juxtaposing these two attitudes toward women in pairs or series of texts devoted exclusively to discussing womankind. This dialectic of attack on and defence of the female sex, known as the querelle des femmes (debate about women), was especially popular among authors and readers during the sixteenth and earlier seventeenth centuries in England. At least 36 texts exclusively devoted to attacking and/or defending women were published in the hundred years between 1540 and 1640. The works included in these two volumes exemplify the content and the methods of debate in England during those two centuries. Volume one includes texts from 1521 through to 1615.

The Texts in Elementary Classrooms

by James V. Hoffman Diane L. Schallert

This CIERA sponsored book is based on the premise that high-quality texts of all kinds are essential to good teaching in elementary classrooms. Experts on a variety of text-related topics were asked to summarize existing research and then apply it to literacy development in an "ideal" classroom. The most comprehensive and up-to-date book in its field, it moves progressively from an examination of discrete literacy processes and forms to a holistic overview and assessment of the classroom literacy environment. Content coverage in this outstanding new book includes: *Literacy Processes--Part I examines basic reading processes (instruction, comprehension, word recognition, fluency, and motivation) as they relate to text features.*Forms of Texts--Part II examines the wide variety of text types (fiction, nonfiction, leveled, local, and electronic) that comprise an effective classroom literacy program. Discussions include the nature of these texts, their qualities and quantities, how they fit into an instructional plan, and how a teacher might assess their effectiveness.*Text Selection--Part III examines special issues (linguistic diversity and teachers as censors) related to the selection of classroom texts.*Personal Applications--The final, hands-on chapter synthesizes the book's ideas and offers practical tools (checklists and inventories) whereby teachers can self-assess the literacy environment of their own classrooms.This book is suitable for anyone (graduate students, in-service reading specialists and curriculum directors, college faculty, and researchers) who deal directly with issues of classroom literacy.
