About this book

Die ersten beiden BeitrĂ€ge befassen sich mit der Vermittlung von Deutsch als Fremdsprache im sĂŒdafrikanischen Kontext. Zwei BeitrĂ€ge haben kollektives GedĂ€chtnis und/oder Gedenken im Fokus: Der erste bezieht sich auf GedĂ€chtnisregimes in Deutschland und der zweite auf die österreichische Erinnerungskultur. Die FlĂŒchtlingskrise in Europa wird einerseits unter besonderer BerĂŒcksichtigung der europĂ€ischen Perspektiven auf afrikanische FlĂŒchtlinge und andererseits unter Hinweis auf Beteiligung literarischer Texte am öffentlichen Diskurs ĂŒber diese Krise untersucht. Die thematischen ZusammenhĂ€nge zwischen den Werken von Bettina von Arnim und Sophie Mereau zu Politik und Menschenrechten, deuten auf die historische Rolle, die Soziopolitik immer gespielt hat. Zwei BeitrĂ€ge konzentrieren sich auf die Medien Film und Musik: F.W. Murnaus Nosferatu und zwei Lieder von M.-U. Kling und AnniKa von Trier werden diesbezĂŒglich analysiert. Die abschließenden drei Artikel haben klassische literarische Texte im Fokus: Die Kapuzinergruft von Joseph Roth, W. G. Sebalds Die Ringe des Saturn und Die Verwandlung von Franz Kafka.

The first two contributions in this book focus on the teaching of German as a foreign language in the South African context. Two contributions engage with collective memory and/or commemoration: the first considering memory regimes in Germany and the second focusing on Austrian memory culture. The refugee crisis in Europe is evaluated with specific reference to European perspectives on African refugees and by looking at different ways in which literary texts participate in the public discourse on this crisis. An investigation into the thematic connections between the work of Bettina von Arnim and Sophie Mereau on politics and human rights indicates the historical role socio-politics has always played. Two contributions focus on the media of film and music: F.W. Murnau's Nosferatu and two songs by M.-U. Kling and AnniKa von Trier are analysed from this perspective. The concluding articles have classic literary texts as its focus: Joseph Roth's Die Kapuzinergruft, W.G. Sebald's Die Ringe des Saturn and Franz Kafka's Die Verwandlung.
