Am Beispiel zweier Lehrender, die ihre Lehre im Sinne von Scholarship of Teaching
and Learning beforscht haben, wird nachvollzogen, wie sich Lehrende ein ihrer Forschungsfrage angemessenes Methodenrepertoire erschließen, indem sie facheigene
und fachfremde Zugänge abwägen.
Challenging the idea that processes of ‘closure’ function as primary means by which comics
involve their readers, this article investigates how Chris Ware’s Building Stories uses spectacle
as a symbolic form that disrupts narrative as much as it depends on it to engage its readers.
My reading of Building Stories serves to illustrate that some comics offer a visual pleasure that
is not strictly based on narrative and the sequentiality of their images. Spectacle in Building
Stories, I argue, functions as both an element of disruption and of orientation. I propose that,
by using spectacle, the book not only guides its readers through a hardly navigable narrative
web but also allows them to participate in acts of staring. By inviting readers to stare, Building
Stories turns the disability of its protagonist into a highly visible and disruptive element while,
at the same time, narrativizing it as a part of ordinary, everyday life.
Inklusion befähigt alle Angehörigen einer Universität, ihre Potenziale in Forschung, Lehre und Verwaltung in vollem Umfang zu entfalten. Somit ist gelingende Inklusion die Grundlage aller Bestrebungen um universitäre Exzellenz. An der TU Dresden wird dies durch ineinandergreifende Prozesse umgesetzt. Strategische „Top-down“-Prozesse werden nach Vorgabe der Universitätsleitung realisiert und „Bottom-up“-Prozesse, die alle Akteur*innen zu inklusivem Handeln motivieren und befähigen, werden gefördert. Um Inklusion in allen Bereichen des universitären Lebens und Handelns weiterzuentwickeln und umzusetzen, wird eine strategische inhaltliche Ausrichtung der Forschung angestrebt.
The book not only serves as an introduction to the field of Hitchcock scholarship for a wider audience, it also delivers in-depth assessments of his lesser-known early period, as well as new takes on canonical films like VERTIGO (1958) and FRENZY (1972).
All entries are signed, and each begins with a brief summary of the work and list of key information. The body of each essay provides an overview of the work and the subject’s life, and discussion of historical and cultural context, themes, and critical reception. All essays have one or two sidebars and a bibliography; half also have a photo.
Zwischen Emanzipation und Vereinnahmung", herausgegeben von David Brehme, Petra Fuchs, Swantje Köbsell, Rebecca Maskos, Carla Wesselmann und Michael Zander.
