Zwischen âSchicksalâ, freiem Willen und instinktivem Verhalten. HybriditĂ€tsaspekte und Ansatzpunkte zu deren Vermittlung in Tom Tykwers: Lola Rennt
Trotz seines auĂerordentlichen Publikumserfolges und höchsten Ehrungen durch zahlreiche Filmpreise ist Tom Tykwers Lola Rennt bisher allenfalls marginal von der akademischen SekundĂ€rliteratur erfasst worden. Die FĂŒlle leicht zugĂ€nglicher populĂ€rwissenschaftlicher BeitrĂ€ge wĂ€chst demgegenĂŒber sehr schnell an und trĂ€gt dazu bei, eine insgesamt Ă€uĂerst begrenzte bis fehlerhafte Interpretationsgrundlage zu verbreiten, die Lola Rennt als Film ĂŒber âSchicksalâ, âZufallâ, âGlĂŒckâ und existentielle Probleme zeitgenössischer Jugendlicher fokussiert. Der folgende Beitrag bemĂŒht sich um eine Erweiterung und Korrektur solcher Interpretationsvorlagen, indem er das beachtliche Spektrum der im Film thematisierten ihm aber auch immanenten zeitgenössischen HybriditĂ€tsaspekte erarbeitet. Hierbei wird deutlich, dass die mechanische, von Zeitdruck und Stress geprĂ€gte Lebenswelt der Protagonisten keinesfalls fĂŒr ein anthropologisch oder religiös fundiertes âFatumâ sondern vielmehr fĂŒr einen normativ und diskursiv angelegten und darum grundsĂ€tzlich abwendbaren KausalitĂ€tsexzess symbolisch ist. Um so bedeutsamer wird das Spannungsfeld zwischen Selbst- und Fremdbestimmung, das die Protagonisten exemplarisch vorfĂŒhren. In diesem Kontext rekonstruiert Lola Rennt stereotypische Generationskonflikte, um diese mittels Parodisierung zu dekonstruieren
Blurring or shifting boundaries? Concepts of culture in TurkishâGerman migrant cinema
This paper aims to explore the developments of different concepts of culture in TurkishâGerman Migrant Cinema before and after German Unification. Key questions addressed will be:
1. How do these films express cultural differences and to what extent does this representation follow traditional concepts of culture?
2. How is the interconnectedness of cultures articulated and how far does this relate to current notions of interculturalism and transculturalism?
3. Which are the key differences of former migrantsâ cinematic representations in pre- and post-unified Germany?
Unlike common perceptions, this paper will argue that most films, including productions by celebrated directors such as Fatih Akın, continue to draw on traditional concepts of culture that break with the strong transcultural perspectives voiced by the same directors. While there is a development from rather separatist multicultural and intercultural representations in TurkishâGerman cinema before Unification towards more interconnected transcultural portrayals in post-Unification films, many contemporary productions maintain monocultural perspectives. All this seems to follow trends originating from German Cinema about migrants but there is also evidence that a traditional concept of âKanakenâ culture developed in and disseminated via Migrant Literature and Cinema has made its way into German film

Unschuldig schuldig? Zur Schuldfrage und Vermittlung von Schlinks Der Vorleser im DaF-Unterricht
Mit seinem Roman Der Vorleser ist Bernhard Schlink auf internationaler Ebene bekannt
geworden, aber neben einem auĂerordentlichen Publikumserfolg und einer ĂŒberwiegend
positiven Kritik kam es gerade in letzter Zeit wiederholt auch zu negativen Besprechungen, die eine vermeintliche Gleichsetzung von TĂ€tern und Opfern moniert haben. Die vorliegende Studie argumentiert gegen eine solche Kritik, und versucht Wege aufzuweisen, in denen das Potential des Romans auf Hochschulebene effizient erarbeitet werden kann. Grundlage der
didaktischen AusfĂŒhrungen sind Unterrichtsversuche mit internationalen Studierenden in DĂŒsseldorf und Cambridge
ErzÀhlen gegen den Strich: Ein Beitrag zur Geschichtsreflexion im mexikanischen Revolutionsroman
This study explores the Novel of the Mexican Revolution as a literary genre that elaborates alternative images to the political discourse of the Revolution cultivated and further developed by the governing parties PRI and PAN well into the 21st century. In this context, even early 20th century novels such as GuzmĂĄnâs The Eagle and the Serpent prepare the way for a demythification of official discourse which historians tend to avoid until post-Tlatelolco/post-1968 historiography cannot ignore the substantial gap between political rhetorics and actual policy any more.
The fact that in this case literary work anticipates historical criticism by several decades correlates with the writersâ focus on the exploration of local and collective mentalities, which breaks the boundaries of traditional historiography and links up to contemporary disciplines such as regional history and history of the mentalities. Key novels analysed in this study are, next to GuzmĂĄnâs work, AgustĂn Yåñezâs Al filo del agua (1947) and Juan Rulfoâs masterpiece Pedro PĂĄramo (1955)
Throwing off the shackles of colonialism? Continuities and discontinuities from Daniel Defoe's literary work to Robert Zemeckis's Cast Away
Daniel Defoeâs Robinson Crusoe has been widely discussed as a key example of 18th century British and â in the wider sense â European colonial writing that confirms the supremacy of Western culture while stressing transcultural desires and fears. Of particular interest is the relationship between Crusoe and Friday, which has been highlighted as a âparadigmatic colonial encounterâ (Said 1991). However, in some of the more contemporary âRobinson storiesâ that follow in the footsteps of Defoeâs novel, the traditional cultural encounter between the civilized Self and the primitive Other has been omitted, and Robert Zemeckisâs Hollywood movie Cast Away is a good example of this tendency. Focusing on Cast Away, this study explores 1) how far the omission of this encounter leads to a break with colonial dichotomies, and 2) which aspects of colonial discourse continue to be widely disseminated via Hollywood productions. By linking psychological research with postcolonial and transcultural theory, it amends current film analysis and interpretations of contemporary ârobinsonadesâ (e.g. Ingram 2001, Weaver-Hightower 2007 and 2006) while critically interrogating popular perspectives on transculturality and globalization (such as Welsch 1999). In particular, the essay reveals that, despite the loss of the encounter, a revision of traditional individualism and a certain dose of filmic parody, the neo-colonial capitalist identity promoted in the movie remains very much in line with Defoeâs colonial paradigm
