    What only a few decades ago would have been considered a totalitarian nightmare seems to have become reality: Surveillance practices and technologies have infiltrated all aspects of our lives, forcing us to reconsider established notions of privacy, subjectivity, and the status of the individual in society. The United States is central to contemporary concerns about surveillance. American companies are at the forefront of developing surveillance technologies; and government agencies, in the name of security and law and order, are monitoring our words and actions more than ever before. This book brings together an interdisciplinary group of scholars to explore the implications of what many consider to be a far-reaching social, political, and cultural transformation. ; Florian Zappe and Andrew S.

    Im Jahre 1789 eröffnete der britische Kupferstecher und Kunsthändler John Boydell (1719-1804) in London die „Shakespeare Gallery“: Mehr als 160 Gemälde nach Szenen und Figuren der Dramen William Shakespeares, die im Auftrag Boydells von renommierten Künstlern angefertigt wurden, machten seine Galerie nicht nur zu einem Zentrum des literarischen und künstlerischen Lebens in London, sondern sollten auch die Shakespeare-Illustration des gesamten 19. Jahrhunderts maßgeblich prägen. Die Göttinger Universitätsbibliothek erhielt die von Boydell herausgegebene gleichnamige Serie großformatiger Reproduktionsstiche als Geschenk des britischen Königs Georgs III. Der Prachtband zählt seither zu den besonderen Schätzen der Bibliothek. Zur Jahreswende 2007/2008 zeigte die Ausstellung „,Seht hier, auf dies Gemälde, und auf dies.‘ – Bilder aus John Boydells Shakespeare Gallery“ im Historischen Gebäude der Niedersächsischen Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek Göttingen Illustrationen der „Shakespeare Gallery“ zu vielen der Dramen Shakespeares. In diesem Band sind die wichtigsten der Vorträge des Rahmenprogramms zur Ausstellung versammelt, das die intensive Rezeption des Dramatikers an der Göttinger Universität, in Deutschland wie international beleuchtet. ; univerlag.uni-goettingen.de/handle/3/isbn-978-3-941875-02-9

    The inclusion of works in a canonical list creates a large body of exclusions. But among these neglected works there are not a few that nevertheless are worth reading. Literary worth is not necessarily aesthetic impeccability. A literary work recommends itself by a high degree of artistic achievement with elbowroom for historical importance. The present study focuses on Leo Rosten’s immigration novel The Education of Hyman Kaplan (1937) and Archibald MacLeish’s radio play Air Raid (1938). The first is more than the apparent compendium of language-based jokes. Read in the context of immigration policy from Presidents Theodore Roosevelt to F. D. Roosevelt and of Jewish-American humor, it displays Kaplan’s moral and intellectual growth, which extant commentary denies, and exhibits the “interior internationality” of an immigration country. Air Raid is one of the few achieved American radio plays to take a stand on foreign affairs in a context that does not only consist of broadcasting and Picasso’s collage-painting Guernica – the “screaming picture” which MacLeish transposed into the acoustic medium – but also of the historical saturation bombing of the Basque town. ; univerlag.uni-goettingen.de/handle/3/isbn-978-3-941875-95-1

    Entstand die altenglische Übersetzung der Historia Ecclesiastica Gentis Anglorum des Beda Venerabilis, des wohl bedeutendsten anglo-lateinischen Werkes des Mittelalters, auf Bestreben König Alfreds ‚des Großen‘ als Teil seines Übersetzungs- und Bildungsprogrammes? War die altenglische Historia vielleicht ein Gründungsmanifest des Königreichs der Angelsachsen? Dieses Königreich formierte sich schließlich in einer Zeit, als England sich eines äußeren Feindes zu erwehren hatte, der die politische Ordnung der angelsächsischen Königreiche bedrohte: der Wikinger. Um diese Frage zu beantworten, präsentiert Andreas Lemke ein in dieser Form einzigartiges Kompendium interdisziplinärer Ansätze und wirft ein neues Licht auf die altenglische Beda-Übersetzung, das Literatur- und Sprachwissenschaftler, Philologen und Historiker gleichermaßen anspricht. ; univerlag.uni-goettingen.de/handle/3/isbn-978-3-86395-189-4

  22. How The Pink Panther came alive and how The Thin Man grew fatter: Hungry franchises and the adaptation industry

    While entertainment franchises are usually not associated with engaging in adaptive work in the traditional sense of the term, the sheer necessity of creating new material for serialised properties makes adaptive work a necessity. Frequently, franchises will absorb other material, an aspect that has so far been neglected in studies of what Simone Murray calls the ‘adaptation industry’. This article discusses two entertainment properties that made a habit of lapping up cinematic trends and other properties in order to feed their appetite as ‘hungry franchises’: the Thin Man series (1934‐47) and the Pink Panther films (1963‐2009). They exhibit similar adaptive strategies to reconcile contemporary audience expectations and industrial trends with their needs as profitable studio properties. In the process, they also show somewhat Frankenstein-like tendencies towards monstrosity, eventually turning against their own creators.

    How do we see ourselves? How do we see each other? Questions of identity feature largely in our everyday lives: Advertisements try to sell us things to improve our lives because “they fit us”. A particular set of clothes is turned into a brand which a group of people uses to identify who belongs to them and who does not. In literature, too, questions of belonging somewhere – to a group, to a people, to a nation – are discussed widely, though this is sometimes not apparent from the very outset. In this volume, four essays discuss questions of identity and gender, of identity and nationality in English, Irish and Canadian/Sri Lankan texts ranging from the early nineteenth to the twentyfirst century. ; univerlag.uni-goettingen.de/handle/3/isbn-978-3-86395-033-0

    “What passing-bells for these who die as cattle? – Only the monstrous anger of the guns.” This is how the English poet Wilfred Owen gave words to the horrors of World War I in 1917. Written under the impression of the trench warfare in Flanders, he called the poem “Anthem for Doomed Youth”: To him and his fellow-soldiers the world had become a place of hopelessness and despair. Armed conflicts seem to be inextricably linked to human nature. They reduce men to mere animals and bring about utter despair; men “grope in the dark without light” (Job 12:25). Yet humans are by nature extremely vulnerable, with neither a crocodile’s plate armour nor an elephant’s tusks, weight and size: War should be essentially foreign to their nature. In spite of their claim to rationality, though, which supposedly distinguishes them from animals, humans continue trying to solve their problems by taking up arms against each other. Representations of conflicts have found their way into various art forms. The Bible, the written cornerstone of the Christian faith – with forgiveness and peacefulness as central tenets – , contains many tales of military engagements, of murder and conquest. Conflicts do not always imply the use of armed force, though. There are also less deadly, though not necessarily less fierce ‘wars’: wars of ideology, for example, or the ‘price wars’ of retailers. The papers in this volume explore a variety of different conflicts and their representations – among them the wars in Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan in American films – but also depictions of other kinds of hostilities closer to home, such as the ‘Shakespeare wars’. ; univerlag.uni-goettingen.de/handle/3/isbn-978-3-86395-129-0

    Taking media scholar Henry Jenkins’s concept of ‘convergence culture’ and the related notions of ‘participatory culture’ and ‘transmedia storytelling’ as points of departure, the essays compiled in the present volume provide terminological clarification, offer exemplary case studies, and discuss the broader implications of such developments for the humanities. Most of the contributions were originally presented at the transatlantic conference Convergence Culture Reconsidered organized by the editors at the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen, Germany, in October 2013. Applying perspectives as diverse as literary, cultural, and media studies, digital humanities, translation studies, art history, musicology, and ecology, they assemble a stimulating wealth of interdisciplinary and innovative approaches that will appeal to students as well as experts in any of these research areas. ; univerlag.uni-goettingen.de/handle/3/isbn-978-3-86395-217-4
