Perspektiven filmischer Überwindung der bipolaren Geschlechternorm durch Rekurs auf mythisches Potenzial
by Lioba SchlösserDieses Buch umfasst eine filmanalytische Betrachtung filmischer Interpretationen des Androgyniemotivs. Rückbezogen auf dessen mythische Ursprünge in Ovids Metamorphosen und Platons Kugelmenschenmythos wird nachvollzogen, inwieweit diese Darstellungen auf mythische Ursprungsgeschichten verweisen. Dazu wird auf Mythenforschung, körper- und blicktheoretische Thesen, Gender- und Queer Theorie sowie filmästhetische Ansätze zurückgegriffen. Es erfolgt eine Analyse ausgewählter Filmsequenzen aus internationalen Spiel- und Animationsfilmen, um theoretische Aspekte und Thesen nachvollziehbar darzulegen. Es wird vermutet, dass filminhärente Rekurse auf einzelne Mytheme helfen, die Thematik um Mehrgeschlechtlichkeit, nicht normative Sexualitäten und alternative sexuelle Identitäten medial verhandelbar zu machen. So können geschlechtliche Oppositionen dekonstruiert, Macht- und Hierarchiebeziehungen zwischen ihnen offengelegt und kritisch hinterfragt werden. Ziel der Studie ist demzufolge, das Motiv der Androgynie und seine filmischen Darstellungsweisen durch einen dichten theoretischen Rahmen möglichst präzise zu fassen, um herauszustellen, welche Rolle der Mythos als Ursprung des Motivs innerhalb der filmischen Darstellungen spielt.
Persuasion durch räumliche Präsenz: Eine Systematisierung und empirische Prüfung der persuasiven Mechanismen
by Priska BrevesDie persuasive Wirksamkeit immersiver Botschaften wurde schon mehrfach empirisch nachgewiesen. Die räumliche Präsenz wurde dabei als Mediator der Effekte identifiziert – wie genau dieser Persuasionsmechanismus allerdings abläuft, ist bisher ungeklärt. Daher wird die bisherige Forschung rund um die Wahrnehmung der räumlichen Präsenz in diesem Buch aufgearbeitet und systematisiert. Unterschiedliche Ansätze und Theorien werden dabei miteinander in Verbindung gesetzt und die Vermutungen anhand von drei empirischen Laborexperimente geprüft. Die Ergebnisse werden im Anschluss durch ein konzeptuelles Persuasionsmodell miteinander verbunden und ausführlich diskutiert.
Persuasion in Specialised Discourses (Postdisciplinary Studies in Discourse)
by Olga Dontcheva-Navratilova Martin Adam Renata Povolná Radek VogelThis book examines the concept of persuasion in written texts for specialist audiences in the English and Czech languages. By exploring a corpus of academic research articles, corporate reports, religious sermons and user manuals the authors aim to reveal similarities and differences in rhetorical strategies across cultures and genres. They draw on Biber and Conrad’s (2009) model for contextualising interaction in specialised discourses, Bell’s (1997) framework for the analysis of participants roles, Swales’ (1990) genre analysis approach for considering genre constraints and Hyland’s (2005) metadiscourse model for investigating writer-reader interaction. The result is a book which will appeal to researchers and students in Discourse Studies, especially those with an interest in genre and rhetorical strategies.
The Persuasive Actor: Rhetorical Power on the Contemporary Stage
by Milan Dragicevich"A must-have for all actors who encounter speeches that are longer than three sentences. On the surface, that would be classic works from Sophocles through Shakespeare—with the 17th and 18th centuries thrown in. Dig deeper and the book’s value to actors of modern and contemporary drama is inescapable. Ibsen, Shaw, Williams, Miller, Shepard, Wilson, Kushner, and Suzan-Lori Parks all wrote plays that are filled with powerful rhetorical devices that demand lively, thorough, and specific consideration. This book is a guide that unfolds the mysteries of classical rhetoric in a clear, concise, and effective manner, a book for speakers who want to move their audiences. It is aimed at actors, but also belongs on the shelf of lawyers, advertising copywriters, and, of course, public officials. I will use it in my classes and workshops and enthusiastically recommended it to all actors and actor trainers." —Leslie Reidel, Department of Theatre, University of Delaware
Persuasive Games
by Ian BogostVideogames are an expressive medium, and a persuasive medium; they represent how real and imagined systems work, and they invite players to interact with those systems and form judgments about them. In this innovative analysis, Ian Bogost examines the way videogames mount arguments and influence players. Drawing on the 2,500-year history of rhetoric, the study of persuasive expression, Bogost analyzes rhetoric's unique function in software in general and videogames in particular. The field of media studies already analyzes visual rhetoric, the art of using imagery and visual representation persuasively. Bogost argues that videogames, thanks to their basic representational mode of procedurality (rule-based representations and interactions), open a new domain for persuasion; they realize a new form of rhetoric. Bogost calls this new form "procedural rhetoric," a type of rhetoric tied to the core affordances of computers: running processes and executing rule-based symbolic manipulation. He argues further that videogames have a unique persuasive power that goes beyond other forms of computational persuasion. Not only can videogames support existing social and cultural positions, but they can also disrupt and change these positions themselves, leading to potentially significant long-term social change. Bogost looks at three areas in which videogame persuasion has already taken form and shows considerable potential: politics, advertising, and learning. Bogost is both an academic researcher and videogame designer, and Persuasive Games reflects both theoretical and a game design goals.
Peruvian Cinema of the Twenty-First Century: Dynamic and Unstable Grounds
by Cynthia Vich Sarah BarrowThis is the first English-language book to provide a critical panorama of the last twenty years of Peruvian cinema. Through analysis of the nation’s diverse modes of filmmaking, it offers an insight into how global debates around cinema are played out on and off screen in a distinctive national context.The insertion of post-conflict Peru within neoliberalism resulted in widespread commodification of all areas of life, significantly impacting cinema culture. Consequently, the principal structural concept of this collection is the interplay between film production and market forces, an interaction which makes dynamism and instability the defining features of 21st-century Peruvian cinema.

Petal Pusher
by Laurie LindeenSet in the years between the meteoric launches of Madonna and Courtney Love, Petal Pusher takes readers on a stirring journey across rock and roll, from the big-haired 1980s to the grunge-filled 1990s, when Laurie Lindeen brought her all-girl band, Zuzu's Petals, to compete in the indie rock arena. Minneapolis in the eighties was a musical hotbed, the land of 10,000 lakes and 10,000 bands that gave birth to Prince, the Replacements, and Soul Asylum. For Laurie Lindeen it was the perfect place to launch her rock-and-roll dream. She moved to the city with her best friends Phyll ("Annie Oakley meets Patsy Cline") and Coleen ("former cheerleader gone off the arty deep end") to crash in decrepit apartments and coax punk rock from crappy used guitars. But unbeknownst to her friends, Laurie has a secret in her past -- a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis that fuels her passion to make it big on the local, national, and international rock scene. With inspiring determination, Laurie and her Zuzu's Petals survive the many challenges of being underdogs in a man's world. Then Laurie is thrown a curveball when she falls for Paul Westerberg of Replacements fame and reevaluates exactly what it means to "make it big." By turns hilarious and heartrending, Petal Pusher is a brilliant behind-the-scenes look at music on the front lines, and the awe-inspiring tale of one woman's fight against disease and the disillusionment of life in the rock underground.
