Medienkulturwissenschaft: Eine Einführung
by Oliver Ruf Patrick Rupert-Kruse Lars C. GrabbeDer Band erklärt die Entstehung, Entwicklung und inhaltliche Breite der Medienkulturwissenschaft. Deren Felder werden ebenso demonstriert wie Forschungsfragen entworfen. Ein spezielles Augenmerk liegt auf interdisziplinären Verhältnissen, etwa zur Kommunikations- und Literaturwissenschaft. Zudem wird aus dieser Perspektive die Historie von Einzelmedien vorgestellt und ausgewählte Phänomene mit der medienkulturwissenschaftlichen „Brille“ skizziert. Dadurch kann die Geschichte und Philosophie der Medienkulturwissenschaft ebenso diskutiert werden wie deren Anwendungsfälle sowie ihre Positionen innerhalb eines Medienstudiums mit starkem Praxisbezug, bei dem die Theorien und Ästhetiken der Medien nicht außer Acht gelassen werden.
Medienmanagement und öffentliche Kommunikation: Der Einsatz von Medien in Unternehmensführung und Marketing
by Thomas BeckerWie setzt man Medien und Kommunikation ein, um unternehmerische Ziele zu erreichen? Das ist das Thema des Fachgebiets Medienmanagement. Im Medienmanagement unterscheidet man zwei Disziplinen: Medien und Kommunikation als Mittel der Unternehmensführung sowie Medien und Kommunikation als strategisches Instrument im Marketing. Beide Aspekte stellt das Lehrbuch Medienmanagement und öffentliche Kommunikation für Studium und Berufspraxis vor und dient damit als Kompass für die Anwendung erfolgreicher Unternehmenskommunikation.
Mediennutzung und virtuelle Realität: Erklärungsfaktoren der Akzeptanz und Nutzung von Virtual Reality im privaten Kontext
by Robin JanzikVirtual Reality (VR) gilt als zukunftsträchtige Medientechnologie mit innovativen Anwendungsmöglichkeiten für private Nutzer in den Bereichen Unterhaltung, Information und Kommunikation. Trotz des immensen Potenzials, zu verändern, wie Menschen mit Medien interagieren, bleibt die gesellschaftliche Diffusion von VR hinter den Erwartungen zurück. Das Verständnis darüber, welche Faktoren Einstellungen zu und die Nutzung von VR erklären, ist limitiert. Bisherige Forschung ist stark fragmentiert und hat sich kaum mit den Spezifika der Technologie im Hinblick auf die private Nutzung auseinandergesetzt. Vor diesem Hintergrund entwirft Robin Janzik ein auf Akzeptanz mit den Bezugspunkten Motivation, Vertrauen, Ressourcen und Umfeld basierendes Erklärungsmodell, das relevante weitere individuelle, technologische und soziale Faktoren berücksichtigt. Drei empirische Studien bestätigen die Eignung des Modells zur Erklärung der Akzeptanz und Nutzung von VR. Die Ergebnisse stützen die Rolle von Akzeptanz als zentralen Erklärungsmechanismus der Nutzung neuer Technologien und legen nahe, dass Einstellungen zu und die Nutzung von VR auf einem komplexen Zusammenspiel individueller, technologischer und sozialer Faktoren basieren. Diese Erkenntnisse decken den Bedarf nach einer weiteren kommunikationswissenschaftlichen Auseinandersetzung mit dem Medium VR auf.
Medienpharmakologie: Eine pharmazeutisch-politische Medientheorie
by Stavros ArabatzisMit diesem Band wird so etwas wie eine medienphilosophische Apotheke und Arztpraxis eröffnet. Medien werden nicht mehr bloß technologisch, ästhetisch oder begrifflich-philosophisch erklärt, vielmehr genealogisch in ihrer pharmazeutischen, epidemiologischen, ärztlichen und gesellschaftlichen Wirkung nachgegangen. Als Mittel sind sie kein begriffliches, ästhetisches oder technisches Instrument, sondern Pharmaka einer ärztlich-politischen Kunst und Wissenschaft, die – seit Platon – Heilmittel aber auch Gift heißen können.

Mediensoziologie: Eine systematische Einführung
by Hanno ScholtzWas haben Veränderungen in Gesellschaften und ihren Medien miteinander zu tun? Wo tragen Medien zu gesellschaftlichen Problemen bei und wo können sie diese lösen helfen? Wie wird darüber in der Wissenschaft diskutiert, und wie hängen diese Diskussionen zusammen? Ausgehend von Individuen mit ihren Wahrnehmungen und Handlungsentscheidungen, den von ihnen begründeten Institutionen, und einer knappen Definition von Medien bietet dieser Einführungsband in die Mediensoziologie eine systematische Darstellung, die einen Überblick ermöglicht und Probleme und im Fach geführte Diskussionen einordnen lässt.
Medienvielfalt - Religionsvielfalt: Facetten der Transformation von Medien und Religion (Medien • Kultur • Kommunikation)
by Anke OfferhausAusgehend von der kommunikativen Konstruktion von Religion analysiert der Band die grundlegende Fragen, welchen Stellenwert Medien für die Konstruktion religiöser sozialer Wirklichkeiten haben und in welchem Verhältnis dabei Medienwandel und der Wandel von Religion stehen. Der interdisziplinäre Sammelband zielt vor dem Hintergrund des Mediatisierungsansatzes auf die Zusammenführung der bislang wechselseitig wenig zur Kenntnis genommenen sozialwissenschaftlichen Forschungen renommierter deutschsprachiger Wissenschaftler/innen. Darüber hinaus widmet er sich einem in allen Disziplinen bislang wenig diskutiertem Zusammenhang, nämlich dem Verhältnis von Medien und Religion im sozialen Wandel.

Medieval Afterlives In Popular Culture
by Gail Ashton Daniel T. KlineThis book is concerned with our ideological, technical and emotional investments in reclaiming medieval for contemporary popular culture. The authors illuminate both medieval and contemporary popular culture in surprising and productive ways while interrogating the many ways in which metamedievalism reinterprets and reconceptualises the medieval.
Medieval Andalusian Courtly Culture in the Mediterranean: Hadîth Bayâd wa Riyâd (Routledge Studies in Middle Eastern Literatures)
by Cynthia RobinsonMedieval Andalusian Courtly Culture discusses the unicum manuscript of the Hadîth Bayâd wa Riyâd, the only illustrated manuscript known to have survived for more than eight centuries of Muslim and Arabic-speaking presence in present-day Spain. The manuscript is of paramount importance as it contains the only known surviving version, both in terms of text and of image, of the love story of Bayâd wa Riyâd. This study will place this manuscript within the context of late medieval Mediterranean courtly culture, offering: an annotated translation into English of the entire text reproductions of its images an analysis of both text and images in a series of progressively broader contexts including that of al-Andalus(Arabic-speaking); of "reconquista" Iberia; and the larger Mediterranean world. Cynthia Robinson broadens understanding of the Mediterranean region during the Middle Ages, making this text an invaluable resource for scholars with interests in Medieval Spain, art and Mediterranean courtly culture.
Medieval Animals on the Move: Between Body and Mind
by László Bartosiewicz Alice M. ChoykeThis book investigates relations between humans and animals over several centuries with a focus on the Middle Ages, since important features of our perceptions regarding animals have been rooted in that period. Elucidating various aspects of medieval human-animal relationships requires transdisciplinary discourse, and so this book aims to reconcile the materiality of animals with complex cultural systems illustrating their subtle transitions 'between body and mind'.
Medieval Arabic Historiography: Authors as Actors (SOAS/Routledge Studies on the Middle East)
by Konrad HirschlerMedieval Arabic Historiography is concerned with social contexts and narrative structures of pre-modern Islamic historiography written in Arabic in seventh and thirteenth-century Syria and Eygpt. Taking up recent theoretical reflections on historical writing in the European Middle Ages, this extraordinary study combines approaches drawn from social sciences and literary studies, with a particular focus on two well-known texts: Abu Shama’s The Book of the Two Gardens, and Ibn Wasil’s The Dissipater of Anxieties. These texts describe events during the life of the sultans Nur-al-Din and Salah al-Din, who are primarily known in modern times as the champions of the anti-Crusade movement. Hirschler shows that these two authors were active interpreters of their society and has considerable room for manoeuvre in both their social environment and the shaping of their texts. Through the use of a fresh and original theoretical approach to pre-modern Arabic historiography, Hirschler presents a new understanding of these texts which have before been relatively neglected, thus providing a significant contribution to the burgeoning field of historiographical studies.
Medieval Arabic Praise Poetry: Ibn Al-Rumi and the Patron's Redemption (Routledge Studies in Middle Eastern Literatures #No. 2)
by Beatrice GruendlerThis book gives an insight into panegyrics, a genre central to understanding medieval Near Eastern Society. Poets in this multi-ethnic society would address the majority of their verse to rulers, generals, officials, and the urban upper classes, its tone ranging from celebration to reprimand and even to threat.
Medieval Archaeology, Art and Architecture at Chester (The British Archaeological Association Conference Transactions)

Medieval Archaeology: Understanding Traditions and Contemporary Approaches
by Chris GerrardThe archaeology of the later Middle Ages is a comparatively new field of study in Britain. At a time when archaeoloy generally is experiencing a surge of popularity, our understanding of medieval settlement, artefacts, environment, buildings and landscapes has been revolutionised. Medieval archaeology is now taught widely throughout Europe and has secured a place in higer education's teaching across many disciplines. In this book Gerrard examines the long and rich intellectual heritage of later medieval archaeology in England, Scotland and Wales and summarises its current position. Written in three parts, the author first discusses the origins of antiquarian, Victorian and later studies and explores the pervasive influence of the Romantic Movement and the Gothic Revival. The ideas and achievements of the 1930s are singled out as a springboard for later methodological and conceptual developments. Part II examines the emergence of medieval archaeology as a more coherent academic subject in the post-war years, appraising major projects and explaining the impact of processual archaeology and the rescue movement in the period up to the mid-1980s. Finally the book shows the extent to which the philosophies of preservation and post-processual theoretical advances have begun to make themselves felt. Recent developments in key areas such as finds, settlements and buildings are all considered as well as practice, funding and institutional roles. Medieval Archaeology is a crucial work for students of medieval archaeology to read and will be of interest to archaeologists, historians and all who study or visit the monuments of the Middle Ages.

Medieval Art and Architecture at Ely Cathedral (The British Archaeological Association Conference Transactions)
by British Archaeological AssociationThis is the second volume in the series launched by the British Archaeological Association in which are to be published the transactions of the annual conferences devoted to the study of a major medieval monument and its surrounding area. As in the case of the first volume the unavoidable delay in publishing the transactions has meant that some of the papers are not in the form that they were delivered to the conference and that not all the papers were available for publication in the present volume. The editors have therefore taken the opportunity to include some additional plates, especially plans, which may not be referred to directly in any of the papers but which, it is felt, will make the volume a more useful contribution to the study of this remarkable building. This Volume includesL Sutton in the Isle of Ely and its Architectural Context (Richard Fawcett); Medieval Timberwork at Ely (John Fletcher); The Fourteenth-Century Tile Pavements in Prior Crauden's Chapel and in the South Transept (Lawrence Keen); Ely Cathedral: the Fourteenth-Century Work (Nicola Coldstream).
Medieval Art and Architecture in the Diocese of Glasgow (The British Archaeological Association Conference Transactions)

Medieval Art, Architecture & Archaeology at Canterbury (The\british Archaeological Association Conference Transactions Ser.)
by Alixe Bovey"From the time of the foundation of its cathedral in 597, Canterbury has been the epicentre of Britain's ecclesiastical history, and an exceptionally important centre for architectural and visual innovation. Focusing especially but not exclusively on Christ Church cathedral, this legacy is explored in seventeen essays concerned with Canterbury's art, architecture and archaeology between the early Anglo-Saxon period and the close of the middle ages. Papers consider the relationship between between architectural setting and liturgical practice, and between stationary and movable fittings, while fresh insights are offered into the aesthetic, spiritual, and pragmatic considerations that shaped the fabric of Christ Church and St Augustine's abbey, alongside critical reflections on Canterbury's historiography and relationship to the wider world. Taken together, these studies demonstrate the richness of the surviving material, and its enduring ability to raise new questions.
Medieval Art, Architecture and Archaeology at Rochester: v. 28 (The British Archaeological Association Conference Transactions)
by Tim AyersThis collection of papers, first delivered at the BAA's annual conference in 2002, celebrates medieval Rochester, including both cathedral and castle, an outstanding pair of surviving monuments to the power of contemporary church and state. The contributions demonstrate the great interest of these understudied buildings, their furnishings, and historical and archaeological contexts: from the rich documentary evidence for the Anglo-Saxon town to the substantial surviving fabric of the 11th, 12th and 13th centuries. Shrines, monuments, woodwork and seals are all fully covered, as well as the medieval monks themselves. There is also a piece on Archbishop Courtenay's foundation of the nearby collegiate church at Maidstone, Kent.
Medieval Art, Architecture and Archaeology in Cambridge: College, Church and City (The British Archaeological Association Conference Transactions)
by Gabriel Byng Helen LunnonMedieval Art, Architecture and Archaeology in Cambridge explores the archaeology, art, and architecture of Cambridge in the Middle Ages, a city marked not only by its exceptional medieval university buildings but also by remarkable parish churches, monastic architecture, and surviving glass, books, and timber work. The chapters in this volume cover a broad array of medieval, and later, buildings and objects in the city and its immediate surrounds, both from archaeological and thematic approaches. In addition, a number of chapters reflect on the legacy and influence medieval art and architecture had on the later city. Along with medieval colleges, chapels, and churches, buildings in villages outside the city are discussed and analysed. The volume also provides detailed studies of some of the most important master masons, glassmakers, and carpenters in the medieval city, as well as of patrons, building types, and institutional development. Both objects and makers, patrons, and users are represented by its contents. The volume sets the archaeological and art historical analysis in its socio-economic context; medieval Cambridge was a city located on major trade routes and with complex social and institutional differences. In an academic field increasingly shaped by interdisciplinary interest in material culture, Medieval Art, Architecture and Archaeology in Cambridge marks a major new contribution to the field, focussing on the complexity, variety, and specificity of the buildings and objects that define our understanding of Cambridge as a medieval city.

Medieval Art, Architecture and Archaeology in the Dioceses of Aberdeen and Moray (The British Archaeological Association Conference Transactions)
by Jane GeddesExploring the medieval heritage of Aberdeenshire and Moray, the essays in this volume contain insights and recent work presented at the British Archaeological Association Conference of 2014, based at Aberdeen University. The opening, historical chapters establish the political, economic and administrative context of the region, looking at both the secular and religious worlds and include an examination of Elgin Cathedral and the bishops’ palaces. The discoveries at the excavations of the kirk of St Nicholas, which have revealed the early origins of religious life in Aberdeen city, are summarized and subsequent papers consider the role of patronage. Patronage is explored in terms of architecture, the dramas of the Reformation and its aftermath highlighted through essentially humble parish churches, assailed by turbulent events and personalities. The collegiate church at Cullen, particularly its tomb sculpture, provides an unusually detailed view of the spiritual and dynastic needs of its patrons. The decoration of spectacular ceilings, both carved and painted, at St Machar’s Cathedral, Provost Skene’s House and Crathes Castle, are surveyed through the eyes of their patrons and the viewers below. Saints and religious devotion feature in the last four chapters, focusing on the carved wooden panels from Fetteresso, which display both piety and a rare glimpse of Scottish medieval carnal humour, the illuminated manuscripts from Arbuthnott, the Aberdeen Breviary and Historia Gentis Scotorum. The medieval artistic culture of north-east Scotland is both battered by time and relatively little known. With discerning interpretation, this volume shows that much high-quality material still survives, while the lavish illustrations restore some glamour to this lost medieval world.
