TY - JOUR A1 - Hagen, Clemens T1 - Ver y ser visto: Intelectualidad y falsa erudición en La Regenta JF - promptus - Würzburger Beiträge zur Romanistik N2 - Investigations focusing on the social criticism in La Regenta (1884-1885) by Leopoldo Alas «Clarín» have constantly referred to the unmasking of society’s hypocrisy and provincialism through the implementation of satire and irony in the novel. This observation, though, has to be defined more clearly. Vetustan society, specifically the bourgeoisie, is characterized primarily by the incessant exhibition of supposed wisdom and intelligentsia in public to generate social prestige and power. By analyzing the narrative strategies which are related to the composition of the secondary characters, the role of two specific public venues (Casino and Theatre of Vetusta) and the (de)construction of P. Ronzal, P. Guimarán and S. Bermúdez in the novel, this article illustrates how false wisdom and pseudo-intelligentsia become central motifs regarding social criticism in La Regenta.

Not only is this observation evident in the absence of camera movements but also in the semiotic depth of mise en scène resulting from this circumstance. Natalia Almada’s movie Todo lo demás (2016) provides an impressive example of both the repercussions of this technique in the representation of loneliness as well as the suggestive power of the scenographical composition. Hence, the ensuing analysis of those scenes referring to water is to elucidate the semiotics of mise en scène and its influence on the representation of the main character and the repetitive routine constricting her freedom.

The study is based on a corpus of tweets, starting in March 2020. It examines several specific features which mark the word as a new, unfamiliar item, such as different ways of graphical highlighting, for example. On the other hand, the paper aims to detect possible indicators of an integration of covidiota into the Spanish language use in the tweet corpus compiled for this case study.

Therefore, medievalists also need to focus on the transfer of their research topics to the public both within and outside the university. Based on current political demands calling for a change in communication culture, the article first of all deals theoretically with two different concepts of research communication, by distinguishing between forms of translation and those of popularization. Numerous public events, exhibitions, and cooperative projects with cities, schools, adult education centres, museums, and other educational institutions show that knowledge about the Middle Ages has been trans-mitted to interested laypersons for a long time. The authors see a particular challenge in the alterity of medieval culture, which at the same time provides an excellent opportunity for transferring research findings into society. The fascination with medieval materiality facilitates the transfer of knowledge by those disciplines that work with concrete objects, addressing issues of visuality and aesthetic experience. The article pinpoints conditions, strategies, and perspectives of successful research communication in medieval studies, and when focussing on cur-rent topics, the authors refer to concrete occasions and regional examples, showing why medieval research is still relevant today.

ED - Lazebna, Nataliia ED - Kumar, Dinesh T1 - Blended Learning in the New Normal: EFL Student and Teacher Perceptions and Reactions T2 - Studies in Modern English N2 - To reopen educational institutions and return to the classroom, we all need to modify how we act to successfully face the challenges of the new normal resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and entailing our insights into and the after-effects of the pandemic. More specifically, the new normal might encompass online education we are getting used to during the pandemic and the age-old onsite education as well. Thoughtfully integrated, online and onsite learning combine to create blended learning. However, the pertinent literature reveals that English as a foreign language (EFL) students and teachers differently perceive and react to blended learning in diverse contexts. This study was designed to explore student and teacher perceptions of and reactions to blended learning in the Department of English, Jahangirnagar University in the new normal. Fifty undergraduates of EFL and eight teachers of the department participated in the study. To collect data from them, the Student Questionnaire and the Teacher Questionnaire were used. And the data were processed by applying the SPSS programme module. The findings revealed that the majority of the students and the teachers had mostly positive perceptions of blended learning, although the former did not have sufficient exposure to online learning and the latter lacked adequate insights into online teaching. Further, both the students and the teachers expressed mostly positive reactions to blended learning in the new normal, though the former deemed online examinations inadequately smooth and reliable, and the latter had insufficient experience of online instruction and assessment. The study categorically recommends reforming the curriculum, adopting relevant instructional strategies, developing suitable materials, customizing the assessment, integrating and installing technology, training the teachers, upskilling the students for blended learning, improving the infrastructure, and adjusting the management.

Der Erste Weltkrieg und die Nachkriegszeit BT - Begleitheft zur fächerübergreifenden Ausstellung der Fächer Anglistik, Amerikanistik, Germanistik, Geschichtswissenschaft, Kunstgeschichte, Museologie, Romanistik und Slavistik der Philosophischen Fakultät der Universität Würzburg (Philosophiegebäude am Hubland Süd, 14. Januar 2019 bis 6. Februar 2019, Gesamtleitung: Isabel Karremann). Bearbeitet von Guido Fackler N2 - Der Erste Weltkrieg und die Nachkriegszeit: Ein Thema, zu dem man scheinbar schon alles gehört und gelesen hat. Dass dem nicht so ist, zeigen Studierende der Philosophischen Fakultät der Universität Würzburg mit ihrer Ausstellung „Krieg │ Frieden. Der Erste Weltkrieg und die Nachkriegszeit“. Ihre Beiträge behandeln Politik, Kunst und Literatur in den am Krieg beteiligten Ländern. Nach einer historischen Einführung, die auch die Nachkriegssituation in Würzburg themati-siert, vermitteln Texte von Gottfried Benn einen distanzierten Blick auf das Kampfgeschehen: Der Dichter wirkte während des Kriegs als Arzt hinter der Front und verarbeitete seine Erlebnisse u.a. in den „Rönne-Novellen“. Anhand literarischer Portraits von Schützen aus dem Senegal lässt sich wiederum nachvollziehen, wie sich der Blick auf die aus den Kolonien verpflichteten Soldaten in der französischen Literatur widerspiegelt. Unterschiedliche Reaktionen auf den Ersten Weltkrieg und die Nachkriegszeit werden demgegenüber in der italienischen und deutschen Kunst sichtbar, während die hierzulande aus propagandistischen Gründen eröffneten Kriegsmuseen in der Nachkriegszeit schlossen oder sich der Friedensarbeit widmeten. Stimmen namhafter italienischer Politiker, Journalisten, Romanciers und Dichter bringen zum Ausdruck, wie der „Große Krieg / la Grande Guerra“ Italiens kollektives Gedächtnis prägte. Auch in Großbritannien ist das Gedenken daran viel stärker als hierzulande: So prägen die von dem Gedicht „In Flanders Fields“ inspirierten Mohnblumen als „Remembrance Poppies“ die britische Erinnerungskultur bis in unsere Gegenwart. Individuell gestaltete Text- und Bildtafeln, eine Hörstation mit Leseecke sowie eine Soundinstallation und Bildprojektion am Eröffnungsabend machen den Ausstellungsbesuch informativ und abwechslungsreich. Die interdisziplinäre Ausstellung wurde von rund 90 Studierenden der Fächer Anglistik, Amerikanistik, Germanistik, Geschichtswissenschaft, Kunstgeschichte, Museologie (Ausstellungsmanagement), Romanistik und Slavistik im Wintersemester 2018/19.

Engaged Scholarship between National and Transnational Frames N2 - Can cultural studies attend to the problems of our globalized world? Or is this project of “engaged scholarship” too deeply rooted in the parochial terrain of the national? This collection of essays – the first volume in the new JMU Cultural Studies publication series – attends to this vital yet difficult question. Based on joint seminars bringing together emerging scholars from Germany and India, the contributions confront “classic texts” from US-American, British, and Indian cultural studies with the specific concerns and contemporary perspectives of the authors. The collection thus tests the potentials of the tradition to speak to the transnational as well as the national environments of the very present. Emphasis is placed on Marxist and feminist legacies, which are then projected into the domains of contemporary disability, food, and film studies.

The book makes a case for a phenomenology of globalization that pays attention to locally situated socioeconomic terrains, everyday practices, and cultures of knowledge. This is exemplified in relation to three topics: - the tension between ‘terrain’ and ‘territory’ in Defoe’s ‘Robinson Crusoe’ as a pioneering work of the globalist mentality (chapter 1) - the relationship between established conceptions of feminism and the concrete struggles of women in India since the 19th century (chapter 2) - the exploration of urban space and urban life in writings on India’s capital – from Ahmed Ali to Arundhati Roy (chapter 3). N2 - TERRAINS OF CONSCIOUSNESS emerges from a transnational research project in which scholars from Jamia Millia Islamia (New Delhi), the JMU Würzburg, and the University of Zurich collaborated to evolve new multilogical perspectives on what is usually referred to as globalization. The book makes a case for a PHENOMENOLOGY OF GLOBALIZATION that pays particular attention to the transformation of locally situated and individually experienced socioeconomic terrains, everyday practices, and cultures of knowledge. This perspective is exemplified in relation to three concrete research topics: - the tension between the concepts of ‘TERRAIN’ and ‘TERRITORY’ in parts one and two of Daniel Defoe’s "Robinson Crusoe as" a pioneering work of the globalist mentality (chapter 1) - the relationship between established abstract conceptions of FEMINISM and the concrete emancipatory struggles and life practices of women in India since the early 19th century (chapter 2) - the exploration of URBAN SPACE and URBAN LIFE as a socio-sensorial terrain in fictional and non-fictional writings on or of Delhi – from Ahmed Ali’s "Twilight in Delhi" (1940) to Arundhati Roy’s "The Ministry of Utmost Happiness" (2017). Throughout, the approach of Terrains of Consciousness is informed by the uncomfortable question of how the ‘liberating’ effects of globalization relate to its limiting and disrupting consequences. In these respects, it is vital to ask how globalization affects the dispossessed inhabitants of the world and its various societies.
