    Introduction to the Travel in Victorian Periodicals Database (TVPD) This database (TVPD) was compiled in the context of a research project on the representation of travel in Victorian periodicals conducted by Barbara Korte at the University of Freiburg. The results of the project will be published in a monograph: Travel in Victorian Periodicals, 1850-1900: Media Logic and Cultural Work. Over the course of four years, entries for the database were written and edited by Sophie Bantle, Sofia Guimarães, Janna Kaiser, Klara Machata, Özlem Sarica, Lara Trunz and Mona Zeuner (in alphabetical order). Victorian travel writing has been extensively studied for books, but the representation of travel in periodicals – in the form of travelogues, topographical descriptions and travel advice, in lengthy articles as well as short notes – has received little attention. It can be claimed, though, that periodicals had a greater impact on the Victorian culture of travel than books because they were a medium of daily life, addressed different sections of society, and engaged with travel in media-specific forms. With their own media logic, Victorian periodicals played a major role in accommodating their readers to the discourses and practices of contemporary travel. The database focuses on four widely read periodicals: o The Leisure Hour (1852–1905) was a long-lived and influential family magazine with a great number of travel-related articles. During its first two decades, the Leisure Hour’s address encompassed readers of the middle as well as the working classes. o Good Words (1860–1910) was a family magazine addressed to middle-class readers. Like the Leisure Hour it cultivated a Protestant tone. o The Englishwoman’s Domestic Magazine (1852–1882) was addressed to middle-class female readers and situated travel in the middle-class female lifeworld, also reflecting the cultural constraints to which women’s travel was exposed. o The Boy’s Own Paper (1879–1967) was targeted at young male readers. Its engagement with travel was ...

    The heroic becomes manifest in representations. In order to be socially effective, the heroic has to be articulated and communicated, and medialisation is therefore important for transmitting ideas of the heroic. Media and cultural studies assume that media contribute actively to the creation of meaning and that media have a dynamic of their own in the constitution of the heroic. The contribution of mediality to meanings and effects of the heroic is particularly strong in imaginative and artistic portrayals. Such representations not only serve social self-observation and self-interpretation, they also have the potential to remodel or even redefine notions of the heroic. The mediality of a particular representation can even disrupt traditions and thus contribute to the transformation of heroizations and heroisms. Each media product (a narrative, an image, a comic, a play, a video game, etc.) co-constructs and filters the particular figuration of the heroic through its inherent technical and historical specifics. The medium in which the portrayal occurs affects the form in which the heroic is aesthetically configured. Social and personal figurations, aesthetic form and media are interdependent in the creation of meanings of the heroic.

    Posthuman figures in contemporary popular culture have heroic potential: Their physical strength transcends human limitations, and some possess a more comprehensive intelligence. However, they can only develop this potential if they are granted agency beyond human control. In the 21st century, the unconditional control of the human being in a posthuman life-world has become increasingly negotiable. From a multitude of films and TV series with diverse posthuman characters, the most prominent are those that are situated in a world where the position of the human as the most intelligent being in a posthuman world is open to challenge. This article presents a spectrum of posthuman heroic figures and narratives using examples from anglophone literature, film and television.

    In the media and popular culture, talk of “hero stories” is omnipresent, and even recent scholarship ascribes to “hero narratives” a central role in heroization processes. In narratology, however, heroes and the heroic play only a marginal role. Here, the term “hero” is mostly used as a synonym for “protagonist”, which may include but is not limited to “heroic figures” in the narrow sense. On the one hand, this is regrettable, but on the other hand it offers the possibility of recasting this subject. The most prolific narratological categories with which the heroic can be apprehended are plot and figure. The one deals with typical plot structures and narrative sequences, the other with the narrative development of figures, in particular with their model ethical character that can be seen in that development. Of course, plot and figure mutually determine one another: there is no plot without figures and no figures without a plot. In this article, different narratological approaches for describing heroic figures and plot structures are summarised – including Hans Robert Jauß’s term “identification patterns” (Identifikationsmuster) and Patrick Hogan’s modelling of ‘heroic plot structures’ – and their analytical power illustrated using case studies.

    The ‘Nine Worthies’ (French: neuf preux) are a late mediaeval canon of individual heroes who were admired for their virtue and heroism. Initially appearing only as a literary topos, the Nine Worthies eventually also developed into a motif in art history that is found in different media such as painting, fresco, tapestry or sculpture. The selection and ordering of the figures did not follow any set tradition. In the depictions the nine heroes are elevated to ideal representations of knightly bravery whose fame and exemplariness is based on heroic deeds on the battlefield. The embodiment of knightly role models did not just have purely aesthetic or representative functions, but also pursued appellative and moralising aims.The Nine Worthies first appeared in literature at the beginning of the 14th century as a list of ideal knights, later giving rise to numerous portrayals in art. This group comprised Hector of Troy, Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar as three heroes of pagan antiquity; Judah Maccabee, King David and the prophet Joshua as the three representatives of the Old Testament; and King Arthur, Charlemagne and Godfrey of Bouillon as three figures representing Christendom. Starting in France the Nine Worthies found visual expression in Germany, Austria, Italy, England and Denmark.

    As the epitome of commitment and willingness to make sacrifices, the allegorical figure of the Unknown Soldier became the focal point of national memory in the period between the World Wars. The figure represented an idealised, collective and heroic imagining of the ordinary soldier who had lost his life for his fatherland. The figure of the Unknown Soldier contributed to the perpetuation of a certain type of soldier hero in the modern era and simultaneously served both the coalescence of national mourning and the retrospective legitimisation of the sacrifices made during the First World War.

    The nine heroines were a collection of figures that arose in the late Middle Ages as a counterpart to the older list of nine heroes. Like that male canon, the female figures claimed fame on the basis of their recorded deeds. Starting from France ('neuf preuses'), distinct traditions with a varying selection of women developed in England ('Nine Worthy Women' or 'Nine Ladies Worthy') and Germany ('Neun gute Heldinnen' or 'Neun beste Frauen'). Originating in literary sources, the nine heroines form an iconographic topos, which appears in all kinds of visual media. They are commonly portrayed together with the nine heroes in illuminated manuscripts, frescoes and panel paintings, as monumental sculptures, in tapestries, on playing cards and as part of festive entrées. The conceptualisation of the female canon was subject to a considerable number of changes in its reception history. As an element of the mediaeval aristocratic lifeworld, the nine heroines served representative purposes and embodied models of feminine rule and chivalry, while their later early modern conceptualisation found its way into early humanist discourses on virtuous heroism through the inclusion of ancient and biblical heroines.

    andererseits provides a forum for research, commentary, and creative work on topics related to the German-speaking world and the field of German Studies. Works presented in the publication come from a wide variety of genres including book reviews, poetry, essays, editorials, forum discussions, academic notes, lectures, and traditional peer-reviewed academic articles. In addition, we welcome contributions by journalists, librarians, archivists, and other commentators interested in German Studies broadly conceived. As a specifically transatlantic endeavor, we also highlight select topics in American Studies that impact German Studies. By publishing such a diverse array of material, we hope to demonstrate the extraordinary value of the humanities in general, and German Studies in particular, on a variety of intellectual and cultural levels. This issue features sections about German Studies approaches to media literacy, Stephen Dowden's book »Modernism and Mimesis« and the poetics of ambiguous memory.

    "The first ever collection of essays in English on Iacopone da Todi by a diverse group of international scholars, this book offers a contemporary critical assessment on this medieval Franciscan poet of the thirteenth century. Combining philological analyses with thematic studies and philosophical and theological interpretations of the original contents and style of Iacopone's poetry, the collection considers a wide range of topics, from music to prayer and performance, mysticism, asceticism, ineffability, Mariology, art, poverty, and the challenges of translation. It is a major contribution to the understanding of Iacopone's laude in the 21st century. Contributors are Erminia Ardissino, Alvaro Cacciotti, Nicolò Crisafi, Anne-Gaëlle Cuif, Federica Franzè, Alexander J.B. Hampton, Magdalena Maria Kubas, Matteo Leonardi, Brian K. Reynolds, Oana Salisteanu, Samia Tawwab, Alessandro Vettori, Carlo Zacchetti, and Estelle Zunino"--
