{"product_id":"9783110291872","title":"'Heimat' : At the Intersection of Memory and Space (Media and Cultural Memory)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis interdisciplinary series addresses the relation between media and cultural memory. Its publications study how media construct, store, and disseminate memory. The series' focus is on different media and technologies, such as text and image, the cinema and the new digital media, on transmediality, intermediality, and remediation, as well as on the social (and increasingly transnational and transcultural) contexts of mediated memory. The aim of the series is to provide a vibrant international platform for research and scholarly exchange in the field of media and memory studies. Manuscripts submitted to the series are peer reviewed by expert referees.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe concept of \u003cem\u003eHeimat \u003c\/em\u003ewith its seemingly pre- or anti-modern connotations of rootedness in a place of origin is central to a critical understanding of German history and culture. Over the course of the past fifteen years, scholars across a range of disciplines have found new ways to examine the changing notions of Heimat - its multifaceted cultural, literary, and visual history, its gendered connotations, and its national and ideological appropriations. \nThis anthology is the first to examine cultural manifestations of \u003cem\u003eHeimat \u003c\/em\u003eby giving special consideration to issues of memory and space. The contributions to this volume challenge static notions of place often associated with \u003cem\u003eHeimat\u003c\/em\u003e. Instead, they explore the social and cultural production of places of belonging as they emerge in literary and visual narratives ranging from 1800 to 2000 and beyond. \nAlthough the anthology includes historical perspectives on \u003cem\u003eHeimat\u003c\/em\u003e, its overall objective is not to trace its cultural or literary history, but to place this complex term into new conceptual contexts. Drawing attention to manifestations of \u003cem\u003eHeimat \u003c\/em\u003ewithin German literary and cultural studies provides a rich ground for exploring the transformation of locality in trans\/national contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFriederike Eigler,\u003c\/strong\u003e Georgetwon University, Washington DC, USA; \u003cstrong\u003eJens Kugele, \u003c\/strong\u003eLudwig-Maximilians-Universität München, Germany.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"De Gruyter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52363228250423,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":872.24,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0962\/3548\/7543\/files\/9783110291872-1.jpg?v=1783264344","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.my\/products\/9783110291872","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Malaysia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
