Seminar paper from the year 2007 in the subject Communications - Media and Politics, Politic Communications, grade: 1,3, University of Siegen, course: Censorship - Concept & Case Studies, language: English, abstract: On June 25th, 1943, American press editors received a confidential note, the contents an purpose of which was hard to understand even for those who were familiar with the technical terms. It said: ¿[...] you are asked not to publish or broadcast any information whatever regarding war experiments involving: Production or utilization of atom smashing, atomic energy, atomic fission, atomic splitting, or any of their equivalents. The use for military purposes of radium or radioactive materials, heavy water, high voltage discharge equipment, cyclotrons. The following elements or any of their compounds: polonium, uranium, ytterbium, hafnium, protactinium, radium, rhenium, thorium, deuterium.¿ What sounded ¿like Greek¿ to the selected adressees of the request, in retrospective can be identified even by an amateur as the attempt to hide evidence that the US government was doing research on a nuclear device. It was about to play a decisive role in the ending of the Pacific War. Since the United States' entry in World War II, domestic censorship had to draw a line very carefully: On the one hand, the First Amendment to the Constitution grands the freedom of speech and the press; on the other hand, sensitive information, if revealed to the public, could fall into the hands of enemy agents. To handle this task, the government set in effect a voluntary censorship, building up on every journalist's patriotic instinct not to publish anything that might be a threat to the war effort. How was censorship organized? What kind of information was censored? Is there an actual difference between voluntary and mandatory censorship? These are questions the following research paper will elaborate on. A brief overview of the practices of censorship in times of war will accompany the analysis. Finally, the text makes an attempt to answer the question how the United States ¿survived¿ the censorship period and how it affected further censorship strategies. An important source for this paper is the book ¿Secrets of Victory. The Office of Censorship and the American Press and Radio in World War II¿ by Michael S. Sweeney, that has been published in 2001. Censorship of the press during war is common to many countries and has been used for strategic ends in many periods of time. A characteristic for modern wars in particular is a ¿difference of interest¿, with journalists torn between their task to report ¿as truthfully as possible¿ and a responsibility not to help the enemy.

Seminar paper from the year 2001 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 2,0, University of Cologne, course: Postmodern American short stories, 5 Literaturquellen entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: In his famous soliloquy of Act III, Scene 1, of William Shakespeare's Hamlet, Hamlet, prince of Denmark, reveals his inner struggles and his search for identity and meaning. Confronted with and utterly disturbed by family and political problems concerning the crown of Denmark, questions, believes, social conventions and personal convictions are pressing hard on him and leave him searching for meaning and identity, trying to find for the right way through and the right way out. To be, or not to be, that is the question - whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, or to take arms against a sea of troubles,". (III,1) The question of "to be or not to be", which is in essence the question of identity, is a widely discussed and fundamental theme of life, a topic many authors have written about and many producers have made the central theme of Hollywood movies. The purpose of this essay is to discuss question of identity in postmodern American short stories. It will include a presentation of postmodernism in its contrast to modernism. Three short stories from different American authors will be discussed in regard to conflicts and development of identity: "Lost in the funhouse" by John Barth, "Saint Marie" taken from Louise Erdrichs "Love medicine" and "A Wife's Story" by Bharati Mukherjee. Special attention will be paid to the story of initiation.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2007 im Fachbereich Sport - Sportökonomie, Sportmanagement, Note: 1,0, Carl von Ossietzky Universität Oldenburg, 6 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die soziologische Betrachtung des gesellschaftlichen Wandels lässt erkennen, dass auch die Wertvorstellungen der Menschen eine Veränderung erfahren. Gerade in Zeiten der fortschreitenden Technik und Medienwelt wird es zunehmend schwerer, den Menschen eingehend zu erreichen. Zu gross und zu vielfältig scheint das visuelle sowie materielle Angebot zu sein. Die Ausarbeitung beschäftigt sich eingehend mit dem theoretischen Hintergrund des gesellschaftlichen Wandels. Welche Faktoren spielen eine tragende Rolle, welche Auswirkungen der Zivilisation sind erkennbar und welche Rolle nimmt dabei der Sport, insbesondere der Risikosport ein? Um diese Fragen möglichst effektiv zu bearbeiten, werden Erkenntnisse der Wirtschaftswissenschaften, der Soziologie und der Sportwissenschaften genutzt. Weitergehend wird die Inszenierung des Risikosports thematisiert. Hier soll vor allem die Rolle des Risikosports an sich sowie dessen visuelle Darstellungsweise erläutert werden. Anschliessend werden ausgewählte Problemstellungen der Werbewissenschaften erörtet und in Bezug zu dem Thema gesetzt. Im zweiten Teil der Ausarbeitung fokussiere ich das Forschungsvorhaben. [...]

Seminar paper from the year 2004 in the subject Communications - Intercultural Communication, grade: 2 (B), Hamburg University of Applied Sciences (Economics), course: Intercultural Communication, language: English, abstract: Through the process of globalization, managers often have to deal with people from other countries with different cultural backgrounds. This cultural background includes not only the language; it means a completely different way of feeling, thinking, behaving and as a result also conflict management. Constructive conflict management is a competence which is of particular importance in international management. Furthermore, in an intercultural context, a manager not only needs to know how to handle conflicts in general, but also how his negotiation partners usually deal with them. This is important because the right way to solve a conflict i. e. in North America is not necessarily the right way in Indonesia. When coping with conflicts in international business negotiations, international managers must be aware of the fact that appropriate ways of solving conflicts in Western cultures like North America can very often be completely unacceptable in Asian cultures like Indonesia. The aim of this paper is to analyse typical conflict management strategies in North America and Indonesia, thereby highlighting major differences in appropriate conflict management between them.

Seminar paper from the year 2005 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Region: USA, grade: 1,7, University of Duisburg-Essen (Politische Theorie), course: Politische Rhetorik, language: English, abstract: The American Dream has always been a central subject in political speeches. Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan were not the only presidents who referred to it in their speeches. Quite possibly every presidential candidate and president related to it when they accepted their nominations and when they outlined their political programmes at their inaugurations. Ever since it has become part of the tradition of political rhetoric in the United States, one can say how centrally important the American Dream (still) is and what great influence it has on the American people. So what exactly is the American Dream? Peter Freese calls the attempt of defining it ¿subjective and imcomplete¿, especially because he is of the opinion that the vision and beliefs transferred in the American Dream change with the times. However, he quotes Hartmut Keil by using his definition of the American Dream with a lot of its beliefs and convictions that are substantial parts of it: ¿Individual success, advancement, materialism, personal success, neighborliness, naturalness, individuality, freedom, equality, equal opportunity, search for identity, national purpose, American consciousness, democratic dream, dream of paradise (¿), moving force, liberation of humanity, world¿s salvation¿; but he comes to the conclusion that there is not the possibility of a precise definition in case one does not want to list nearly every aspect of ¿American society¿. Still, the fundamental values and virtues that build the basis and are the core function of the American Dream, are the main part of American political rhetoric. The metaphor of the American Dream has always been used by being glorified by politians in their speeches, and mostly with the promise of fulfilment soon after the elections in case it was a nomination speech. Therefore the American Dream seems to have a realistic side, it is not only a vision or a utopia when presidential candidates and presidents talk about its fulfilment. Since the promise of fulfilment is made ever since this subject has played a major role in political speeches, it is a dream which can and ¿ referring to the politicians¿ promises ¿ will come true.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2006 im Fachbereich Gesundheitswissenschaften, Note: 1,3, Hochschule Neubrandenburg (Fachbereich Gesundheit und Pflege), Veranstaltung: Studiengang Gesundheitswissenschaften - Gesundheitsberichterstattung, 74 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Das Wohl der Kinder und Jugendlichen steht im Vordergrund jeder Gesellschaft. Damit dies effektiv und zielführend erreicht werden kann, nutzt die Gesundheitspolitik die Gesundheitsberichterstattung (GBE). Gesundheitspolitische Entscheidungen müssen jedoch gemäss der gesundheitlichen Situation und Entwicklungen der - in diesem Fall - Kinder und Jugendlichen getroffen werden, die von Land zu Land aufgrund gesellschaftlicher Besonderheiten sowie verschiedener Gesundheits- und Datensysteme variieren. Vor diesem Hintergrund setzt sich die vorliegende Arbeit im Rahmen des Konzepts der GBE mit dem Thema Kinder- und Jugendgesundheit in den USA auseinander. Sie diskutiert die gesundheitliche Lage der US-Kinder bezüglich der Differenzierung nach der Rasse/ethnische Gruppe, die prekäre Handlungsfelder für die US-Gesundheitspolitik darstellen. Dies zeigt zeigt sich hinsichtlich der Indikatoren: Rauchen, Übergewicht, Bildung, Säuglingssterblichkeit und Gewaltverbrechen. Insbesondere die Indikatoren "Höhere Bildung" oder "Säuglingssterblichkeit" bestätigten einen sozialen Gradienten zwischen den US-Bevölkerungsgruppen. Der US-Bundesberichts "America¿s Children" ist ein indikatorenbasierter Bundesbericht, den Vertreter der US-Bundesstatistik- und Bundesforschungsbehörden gemeinsam im Rahmen eines sog. Interagency Forums erstellt haben. Diese Berichtsform zu dieser spezifischen Zielgruppe existiert in Deutschland noch nicht, so dass dieser Beitrag eine aktuelle Gültigkeit und Relevanz erfährt. Das Interagency Forum produziert den Bericht seit 1997 jährlich, wobei spezielle Kernindikatoren konzipiert wurden und werden, die kritische Aspekte aus dem Leben der US-Kinder reflektieren. Basis für die Indikatorenentwicklung bilden Daten, die seit den 70-iger bzw. 80-iger Jahren in Form von Surveys oder amtlichen Statistiken erhoben werden. Diese relativ lange Tradition von Datenerhebungen ermöglicht es dem Bericht, die Kernindikatoren überwiegend im Trend darzustellen. Die kooperative und zentrale Organisationsstruktur sowie die Konzeption des Berichts machen dieses Produkt der GBE zur Kindergesundheit einzigartig. Damit verkörpert der Bericht "America¿s Children" einen Bericht, den es in Deutschland bislang noch nicht gibt, da sich die deutsche GBE zur Kindergesundheit auf Bundesebene mit der KIGGS-Studie des RKI erst im Aufbau befindet. Insgesamt lässt der Bericht erkennen, dass die USA über etliche Jahre mehr Erfahrung in der GBE verfügt als Deutschland.

Seminar paper from the year 2004 in the subject American Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 2,0, Ernst Moritz Arndt University of Greifswald (Institut für Angelistik und Amerikanistik), course: American Beliefs and Popular Culture, 11 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: "Fear is the most powerful emotion in the human race and fear of the unknown is probably the most ancient. You are dealing with stuff everybody has felt...If you are making a horror film, you get to play with the audiences feelings." John Carpenter Horror movies originate from fictional work that portrays the dark side of life with the primary aim of frightening and terrifying its audience. By presenting horrifying images, of several incorporating sub-genres and repeated themes, such as vampires and werewolves, demonic possessions, evil children, cannibals and zombies, alien invasion and mindcontrol, film makers like John Carpenter create a world where the worst nightmares become true. According to the adolescents who are providing the genre's target group, monster movies always deal with the irresistible temptation of the unknown and forbidden, and therefore shock with a horrific impact of terrifying elements. (...) Since horror and monster movies stand for an important part of the American film industry and with it of its popular culture throughout the last eight decades, it is useful to look at the development of the horror genre in its historical and cultural context, and thus to focus again on the question of interpretive perspective. As horror movies, despite all obscurity, still deal with real fears of a society or the urge to break with social conventions, concentrating on the change of themes, styles and characters of the genre, means to learn more about the American collective consciousness and what was bothering a whole society during the 20th century.

Seminar paper from the year 2009 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 1,0, Humboldt-University of Berlin (Department of English and American Studies), course: Native American Literature, language: English, abstract: INTRODUCTION Karen Louise Erdrich, born in Minnesota in 1954 as the eldest of seven children, was raised Catholic in Wahpeton, North Dakota, where her parents taught at the Wahpeton Indian Boarding School. Her fiction reflects facets of her mixed heritage: she is German-American by her father, as well as French and Ojibwa (also known as Chippewa or Anishinaabe) by her mother. Louise Erdrich left North Dakota in 1972 and entered Dartmouth College in New Hampshire, where she met Michael Dorris, a mixed-blood Modoc Indian writer who founded the Native American Studies department at the college. Collaboratively, they published "Route Two" (1990) and "The Crown of Columbus" (1991). Erdrich and Dorris married in 1981, but were in the midst of divorce proceedings when he committed suicide in 1997. ¿I knew that Michael was suicidal from the second year of our marriage,¿ Erdrich said in an interview. The award-winning writer is considered to be one of the most significant Native American novelists from the ¿second wave¿ of what is called the Native American Renaissance (see chapter 1.2). She is an enrolled member of the Turtle Mountain Band of Ojibwe. ¿No one knew yet how many were lost, people kept no track.¿ (Tracks, p. 15) "Tracks" (1988) Erdrich¿s novel Tracks, which is to be explored in the present argument, is the third part of an initially planned tetralogy, including "Love Medicine" (1984), "The Beet Queen" (1986), and "The Bingo Palace" (1994). Louise Erdrich created a novel cycle, exploring the lives of various generations of Chippewa family who live on a fictional reservation in North Dakota in the twentieth century, a time when Indian tribes were struggling to retain their remaining land. Chronologically speaking, it is the family¿s earliest period¿from 1912 to 1924¿that is related in Tracks. In most of her works, Erdrich uses several characters to narrate alternating chapters, presenting a story that unfolds from multiple perspectives. "Tracks" is told retrospectively by two homodiegetic narrators: Pauline Puyat, a mixed-blood who denies her Indian ¿half¿ in order to be accepted into the convent and changes her name to Sister Leopolda, and Nanapush, an older Native American who tells his story to a named addressee, his granddaughter Lulu: ¿You were born on the day we shot the last bear, drunk, on the reservation.¿ ("Tracks", p. 58) "Tracks" is constructed as mutually referential focalization, ...

Die vorliegende Arbeit versucht im ersten Teil zu klären, was im Allgemeinen unter Taktik zu verstehen ist. Im zweiten Teil soll dem Leser ein kurzer Überblick über den American Football gegeben werden, bevor im dritten Teil die Frage geklärt werden soll, welche Rolle die Taktik in der Lieblingsballsportart der Amerikaner spielt, in welchem Umfang sie entscheidend für den Ausgang eines Spieles ist und ob American Football seinem Ruf des "Rasen-Schachs" gerecht wird.

Intermediate Examination Paper from the year 2002 in the subject American Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 1,7, Humboldt-University of Berlin (Department of English and American Studies), course: Introduction to US Cultural Science II: "The Thirties", language: English, abstract: Although much of Langston Hughes's and Richard Wright's writing expressed social protest, there is one genre ¿the essay¿ that has gone largely unnoticed. In the eyes of Hughes and Wright, custom, tradition and religion may be seen as some of the root causes of racism because they are largely interiorized, but they by far cannot serve alone as satisfying explanations for it. Important in the creation of racism is e.g. the negative projection of colored people in the media. Consequently, this forms a fatal preconception of blacks that is constantly being reproduced. Langston Hughes and Richard Wright, among the most prolific of American writers, gained international attention and acclaim in nearly every genre of writing, including poetry, the short story, the novel, drama, the libretto, the autobiography, journalistic prose, children's and adolescent literature and song lyrics. Although much of their writing, often expressing social protest, was easily accessible to scholars and general readers, there is one genre ¿the essay¿ that has gone largely unnoticed. Yet such essays and short, non-fiction passages contribute significantly to Hughes¿s and Wright¿s work, striving for racial equality on a local level, a national, as well as global levels. At first glance, it may appear fruitless to compare the non-fiction works of Hughes and Wright, since the writers became famous for their poetry and fictional masterpieces. Also, a comparison between Wright¿s rather epic artistic style and Hughes¿s dense, often ironic prose may seem unlikely and difficult. Yet, on closer inspection, you will find that both writers are surprisingly close to one another in their way of thinking, and their conclusions often overlap. Hughes was a columnist for the famous African-American newspaper, the ¿Chicago Defender,¿ where he commented on contemporary issues and chronicled the hopes and despairs of his people. In spite of the different origins of the writers, Hughes and Wright were confronted early on with race discrimination and segregation, publicly know as ¿Jim Crow-ism1,¿ which was identified and condemned in their essays.

Seminar paper from the year 2007 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 1.0, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (Department of English and Linguistics), course: The Rhyme and Reason of American Poetry, 20 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: Philip Freneau was one of the most discussed poets of the late eighteenth century. On one hand he was celebrated as the "Poet of the American Revolution" (Eberwein 191) or the "Father of American Poetry" (Stauffer 52), a journalist of influence, a patriot and skilful writer, on the other hand he was forgotten for a long time. How did Philip Freneau see himself? What were his targets and how did he try to reach them? This paper examines Freneau's look on his role as an author on his poetry and plans. What kind of influences affected or promoted his career? Regarding his own poems "To an Author", "The City Poet" and "To a New England Poet" his description of an author's life - and therefore his life - will become apparent. Furthermore, a closer look on his contemporaries, the Connecticut Wits, especially Dwight, Barlow and Bryant will display how independent and original Freneau's writing was, and what kind of relationships he had towards these American authors. At the same time his relationship towards British poets is interesting: He thought he rejected most of their writing; but was he really not influenced by them at all? Could it be that he sometimes even copied parts of their work? After having a short look on other intertextual influences like Greek mythology, verses from the Bible and Classic forms, this paper will look back on his life in a retrospective way and analyse his attitude towards himself. Did Freneau manage to reach his goals or did he lose sight of them?

Therein, Twain uses humor as an instrument to criticize the German language. Without its witty and diversified character the essay would be a provocative and mean accusation. I will support my thesis with the help of additional information about the author¿s biography and his first experiences with the German language. To explain my thesis and to understand the author¿s concerns it is important to draw these connections. Moreover, I will go into detail about the essay structure to illustrate its critical character and effect. The large amount of stylistic devices that make the essay particularly impressive and remarkable will be parsed and discussed in addition. Eventually, I will comment on the essay¿s impact on success and distinction. In doing so, the sustainability of this piece will be explained.

Seminar paper from the year 2005 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 1,7, University of Kassel, course: Hauptseminar "Antebellum in American Short Fiction", language: English, abstract: "A skillful literary artist has constructed a tale, ¿ there should be no word written, of which the tendency, direct or indirect, is not to the one pre-established design¿" Edgar Allan Poe, who was praised as given the title of "one of the greatest journalistic critic of his time" by literary critics, stressed unity, totality, and prescribed design. And "The Fall of the House of Usher", is proved to be a very successful story to demonstrate Poe¿s adherence of his own principle of constructiveness and his structural art. The intention of this research paper is, therefore, to examine how Poe emphasized unity of effect in theory and how it is fulfilled in practice especially in one of his best-known stories. In a close reading of "Usher", the author is above all impressed by the melancholic tone that Poe obviously intends to raise at the very beginning of this story. For this reason, how Poe implements his technique by making tone obedient to the unity of effect will be first of all examined in this paper. Obviously, tone should be identified with atmosphere. According to Poe, unity of setting is another important requirement for achieving the unity of effect in prose writing, which will be studied in the second section. If, as critics maintain, characters are skilfully adapted to the circumstances which surround them are a general device in Poe¿s tales, it is in "Usher" in particular. The third section intends to show how characters are made to fit into the desolate house and dreary environment to achieve the desired effect in this tale. Finally, with the ideal arrangement of effective tone, setting, characters, Poe gains his battlefield to carry out unity of effect in plot in "Usher". In order to attain the unity of plot in literary writing, Poe stressed both "unity of time" and "unity of action", as essential parts in his theory on unity of effect. In "Usher", both of these aspects are completely fulfilled through the brief time span in which the story happens, a coherent plot line and a "mutual relationship" between incidents. Hence, Poe¿s emphasis on unity of plot in theory, and how it is accomplished in "Usher" in the last section will be explored in the last section of this paper. Consistent with Poe¿s theory of "unity", "totality" and "full design", four aspects, namely tone, setting, characters and plot through which Poe attempts to create a vision of "unity of effect" in this tale are examined in this paper.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2003 im Fachbereich Geschichte Europa - and. Länder - Neueste Geschichte, Europäische Einigung, Note: 2,0, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (Amerikanische Kulturgeschichte), Veranstaltung: Spreading the American Dream, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg war klar, dass Europa, und ganz besonders natürlich auch Deutschland, ohne Starthilfe nicht auf eigene Faust den Menschen einigermassen zumutbare Lebensbedingungen ermöglichen und die zerstörten Industrien wiederbeleben konnte. Dies war auch den Siegern, den Amerikanern bewusst und zum einen aus gewisser Nächstenliebe, zum grössten Teil wohl aber aus der Furcht, das ein wirtschaftlich und humanitär destabilisiertes Europa leichte Beute für den Kommunismus sei, versuchte man Lösungen zu finden, so dass Europa wieder gesunden konnte. Hilfsprojekte, die unmittelbar nach dem Krieg eingesetzt wurden, wie etwa die UNRRA (United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration), CARE (Cooperative for American Remittances to Europe) oder CRALOG (Council of Relief Agencies Licensed for Operation in Germany), konnten die Ziele der Amerikaner nicht erfüllen. Aus diesem Grund suchten die Amerikaner nach einem wesentlich effizienteren Hilfsprogramm für Europa. Am 5. Juni 1947 stellte der damalige Aussenminister der Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika, George C. Marshall, in der amerikanischen Universität von Harvard ein europaweites Hilfsprogramm vor, das milliardenschwere Subventionen für die Empfängerländer Europas vorsah. Dieser Plan wurde nach dem Aussenminister Marshall, bzw. ERP (European Recovery Program) genannt. Doch welche Auswirkungen (abgesehen von den propagandistischen) hatte der Marshall-Plan wirklich auf Deutschland? Hatte das ERP wirtschaftliche Vorteile für Deutschand zu bieten, oder wäre der Aufschwung auch ohne den Mitteln des Marshall-Plans in Deutschland angekommen? Welche politische Bedeutung hatte das ERP? War es wirklich für die Teilung Deutschlands und der Welt verantwortlich? Diese und weitere Fragen versucht diese Arbeit zu beantworten.

With this last line of 'The Ballad of Mulan' the (anonymous) author raises the gender question already in the 6th century. In this essay, I would like to analyse The Representation of Gender in Walt Disney¿s 'Mulan', using the structure of the movie to focus on The Protagonist Fa Mulan, the Treatment of Women and the Depiction of Men. Additionally, the inquiry concerning the Meaning of Song Texts in Disney¿s 'Mulan' appears useful as these always play an important role in conveying movie themes. In order to establish a connection to the seminar on which this paper is based, I will illustrate how the movie is a good example for Judith Butler¿s theory of Gender as Performance. Last but not least, I would like to show the Influence of Disney¿s 'Mulan' on Society because fairy tales and movies '[¿] do influence the manner in which children conceive the world and their places in it [¿]'. Drawing the 'Conclusion', I will try a careful approach to find out if Disney¿s 'Mulan' might even be considered as a feminist movie. (...)

Since it comes out of the printing business ¿ a business hundreds of years old ¿ it has a broader meaning. It expresses the enduring existence of the written word. Hence, letters, black on white, are records of people¿s thoughts and opinions at specific points in time, from early signs of human existence on cave walls to digital letters on our modern-day computer screens. Newspapers as a medium for writing are of special interest to historians as well as to ordinary people like you and me. Throughout history newspapers have reflected society. However, it would be an over-simplification to reduce the complexity of newspapers to the mere role of mirroring. They give us useful information about editors, journalists and authors. Their patient words waiting to be read become vibrant thoughts ¿ even though reader and source might be years apart. It is the dichotomy of individual and collective experience in reading that creates a readership. Benedict Anderson¿s concept of imagined communities fits into this context incredibly well. Although a reader might not know all the other readers of his or her newspaper, they still have one thing in common ¿ they have all held the same information in their hands and read the same news. Thus the reader ¿ being aware of this indirectly shared experience ¿ imagines his community of fellow readers. While Anderson refers to communities that overcome all distances I would apply his model to distances in time. It is because of the lasting effect of the written word that, although I am culturally embedded in the 21st century, I can still read, be impressed and influenced by, or even identify with an article that is almost one hundred years old. I leaf through the same pages, look at the same pictures, and think about the same author as did other readers back then. This process ¿ as an extension of Anderson¿s theory ¿ makes me a part of an imagined community that knows no borders, neither in space, nor in time.

Seminar paper from the year 2004 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 2,0, , course: "The American Short Story", language: English, abstract: On these pages the elements of the Romantic Period in Edgar Allan Poe¿s short story ¿Ligeiä should be analysed. Poe, ¿who has so drastically altered the landscape of the popular imagination¿ (Wright 375) and who ¿had such a powerful effect on his fellow artists¿ (Wright 375), created with ¿Ligeiä a typical text of the Romantic Period. The text ¿Ligeiä is about the death of the young lady Ligeia. After her death her husband becomes addicted to opium. Although he spends most of his time thinking of Ligeia, he soon gets married with the lady Rowena Trevanion. After their marriage he brings Rowena into a bridal chamber. This chamber is full of funeral decorations, what attacks Rowena with horror. Because of that she gets ill and feels the presence of the dead Ligeia in the room. Finally Rowena dies and the narrator ends the story with Ligeiäs transformation into Rowenäs body. After this transformation the reader has to ask himself if Ligeia actually existed, if the whole story is true or if it only takes place in the imagination of the narrator. To illustrate ¿Ligeiä as a romantic text I will give a short overview of the history and the elements of the Romantic Period. Afterwards I will explain these elements in Poe¿s text ¿Ligeiä according to keywords like Gothic, Imagination, and the function of the narrator, which are usual for romanticism. Finally I will tell something about Poe¿s theory concerning the short story to show on the one hand the importance of the self as a major theme of romanticism and on the other hand why Poe helped to establish the genre of science fiction, horror, and fantasy in his modern form.

Seminar paper from the year 2007 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 3,0, University of Marburg (Institut für Anglistik und Amerikanistik), course: Transatlantic Stereotyping - Views From / About Both Sides of the Ocean, language: English, abstract: Criticism of Bryson¿s novels is not advanced but his narratives can be investigated in terms of genre, intertextuality, language, and nationality. This paper expands on the topic of Bryson¿s view both of Great Britain and the United States of America by means of national stereotyping as it emerges from his novels Notes from a Small Island (1995) and Notes from a Big Country (1998). I maintain that Bryson depicts Britain and America in an authentic and educative as well as hilarious and exaggerated manner to emphasize differences between the nations in question. I will prove my thesis that Bryson both criticises and praises British and American values which affect the national character. Bryson conveys his national views both from the perspective of an insider and outsider. William ¿Bill¿ McGuire Bryson was born in Des Moines, Iowa, in 1951. In 1973, he travelled to England where he became acquainted with his wife, Cynthia Billen, with whom he has four children. Bryson lived in Yorkshire, returned to America to graduate in 1995, and resided with his family in Norfolk, in 2003. While in America Bryson is well-known for elaborating on the English language, he accomplished bestseller standing with travelogues in Great Britain. Although he claims not to be a travel writer because he ¿stumbled into this genre¿, Bryson composes ¿books on travel and the English language¿ in which his ¿wanderlust and eccentricity¿ promise a unique reading adventure (Oder 191). Travel writing is a neglected but miscellaneous genre of ancient times which flourished in the sixteenth century and encompasses narratives of expansionism, such as encyclopaedic accounts of foreign nations, and became the principal negotiator of propagating stereotypes in colonial novels. While Bryson¿s journey novel Notes from a Small Island depicts the Great Britain he adores, he grudgingly wrote columns about America which resulted in his journalistic novel Notes from a Big Country.
