ISSN: 0721-4073

Die Reihe Soziologie und Anthropologie widmet sich engagierter Forschung zu aktuellen und gesellschaftspolitisch relevanten Themen. Ein Schwerpunkt der Reihe liegt auf empirischen und ethnografischen Arbeiten, die eine Brücke zwischen gesellschaftlicher Analyse und anthropologischer Forschung schlagen und über die jeweiligen Grenzen hinaus eine Bedeutung entfalten können. Themen wie Sicherheit, Überwachung, Polizei, Rassismus, Migration, Grenzen, Intersektionalität, Macht und Herrschaft sind dabei ebenso vertreten wie Ansätze aus der kritischen Kriminologie oder Geografie, der politischen Anthropologie oder der Stadtforschung. Ziel der Reihe ist eine kritische, perspektivenvielfältige und emanzipatorische Wissenschaft.

Signaturen der Gewalt / Signatures of Violence

ISSN: 2566-946X

Violence often takes the form of a catastrophic eruption. However, it also inscribes itself in different ways in the everyday life of society. Literary texts and media discourse are capable of analysing the relations between macro and micro levels of violence as forms of symbolic action. In the process, the critique of violence does not simply address the question of the representation of violence; the question of the violence of representation needs to be pursued as well. The series Signatures of Violence brings together innovative, transdisciplinary approaches to these difficult questions in the field of literary and media studies. Gewalt tritt oft in Form katastrophischer Eruptionen auf. Aber sie schreibt sich auch auf vielfältige Art und Weise in den gesellschaftlichen Alltag ein. Literarische und mediale Texte sind in der Lage, die Beziehungen zwischen Makro- und Mikroebenen von Gewalterscheinungen als symbolische Handlungen zu analysieren. Dabei wirft die Kritik der Gewalt nicht nur die Frage der Darstellung der Gewalt auf; auch der Frage nach der Gewalt der Darstellung muss nachgegangen werden. Die Reihe Signaturen der Gewalt bietet literatur- und medienwissenschaftlichen Studien einen Raum, welche innovative, transdisziplinäre Zugänge zu diesen schwierigen Fragen öffnen.

Katowice Interdisciplinary and Comparative Studies

This newly launched series creates the opportunity for those scholars who, on the one hand, wish to see literary works in the unceasing dialogue with other arts and, on the other, want to rethink literary theory in terms of its embededness in the reflection which involves notions crucial for the shape of contemporary human community such as democracy, justice, friendship, hospitality, home, passions, and many others. Thus we invite essays on a wide range of topics which include studies of individual texts placing them in a rich web of comparative references not turning away from the body-politic, interpretations of texts and images as important ways towards the formation of cultural identity, explorations of the dialogue between the word and the image with the complicated transpositions taking place in the process, as well as in-depth investigations of particular notions in their historical and multicultural contexts. The analyses undertaken by the authors in this series will make a serious contribution to a better understanding of the notions and processes constituting our being together.
