What if James T. Kirk and Spock had a baby, left the Enterprise and moved to New Vulcan to live happily ever after? Fan fiction plots like this are a strong testament of fans' endless creativity. Not only do the authors invent their own storylines but they have developed a generic definition of content across fandoms according to the relationship present in the text. Classification is therefore profoundly related to gender and sexuality. Julia Elena Goldmann examines these generic structures and formulaic patterns comparatively in Star Trek and Supernatural fan fiction. She also focuses on the interplay of the concepts of gender, sexuality, relationships and depictions of family in these texts.

Against the background of the media commercialization reform since the 1990s in China and drawing on the case of »X-Change« (2006-2019), Wei Dong investigates the affective meaning-making mechanism in the multimodal text of Chinese reality TV. The focus lies on the ways in which emotions are appropriated and disciplined by regimes of power and identity, and the ways in which affect - in this case primarily kuqing (bitter emotions) communicated by the material and the body - have the potential to challenge or exceed existing relations of power in the mediascape. Wei Dong shows how Chinese reality TV provides a historical and theoretical opportunity for understanding the affective structures of contemporary China in the dynamic process of fracture and integration.

Jugendlichen wird in der Öffentlichkeit wie in der Wissenschaft gerne Politikverdrossenheit und Desinteresse an politischen Themen unterstellt. Merle-Marie Kruse zeigt in ihrer Studie zu medienbezogenen Aushandlungen des Politischen dagegen auf, dass das den konkreten Sichtweisen junger Menschen nicht gerecht wird. Aus der Perspektive eines mediatisierten Alltags und eines erweiterten Politikverständnisses rekonstruiert sie anhand von Gruppendiskussionen, wie Jugendliche Politik begreifen, kommunikativ mit Bedeutung versehen und politische Identitäten aushandeln. Dabei zeigt ihre Analyse auch, welche Rolle populärkulturelle Medien für das Involvement mit Politischem spielen.

Die Debatten um die Anerkennung des Ovaherero- und Nama-Genozids (1904-1908) im heutigen Namibia haben in den letzten beiden Jahrzehnten wachsende öffentliche Aufmerksamkeit erhalten. Kaya de Wolff hat die deutschsprachige Presseberichterstattung in den Jahren 2001 bis 2016 über den Umgang mit den Verbrechen deutscher Kolonialtruppen untersucht. Sie zeigt, aufgrund welcher Anlässe und auf welche Weisen medial an die historischen Ereignisse erinnert wird, welche Stimmen dabei (nicht) gehört werden und welche gesellschaftlichen Machtverhältnisse und Normen den Anerkennungskampf der Nachfahr*innen der Opfer bedingen.
关于承认今天的纳米比亚(1940—1908)的辩论吸引了越来越多的公众关注。Kaya de Wolff分析了2001年到2016年关于处理德国殖民犯罪的德语记者报导。只有当被称作朝圣的朝圣才会被称作朝圣的时候

How are the structures of power and the notion of agency among Syrian women during the recent Syrian conflict connected? To explore this matter, Rand El Zein investigates gender politics around displacement, conflict, the body, and the nation. In doing so, she outstandingly reconciles critical media theory as myriad and productive with the theoretical concepts on subjectivity, power, performativity, neoliberalism, and humanitarian governance. The book examines how the Arab television news discursively represented the experiences of Syrian women during the conflict in relation to the four main concepts: violence, vulnerability, resilience, and resistance.
