From 33 expressions of interest, 14 participants were chosen; 13 remained active throughout the study. Participants were selected for maximal diversity across geographic locations, academic status positions, and identity markers;10 were female; four male. Six identified with an ethnic heritage that was in some way marked or non-dominant in their location; four identified as gay or queer. All participants had institutional academic roles as well as networked scholarly identities.
Three were senior scholars, four early career researchers, and seven — including some of the older participants in the study — were PhD students or candidates. Two had more than 10, followers on Twitter and were relatively well-known even beyond the boundaries of their own disciplines; three had fewer than followers. All opted to be openly identified by their public Twitter handles in dissemination of the research.
Participant Observation From November through February , participants were observed daily on Twitter, as well as on other NPS platforms that participants indicated were central to their networked scholarship. The Twitter account created for daily observation purposes followed only participants and the eight volunteers who allowed their profiles to be assessed by participants during the research process.
Extensive offline ethnographic notes were kept. Participants also created and submitted short reflections of the hour time frame from their own perspectives, and their impressions of how and with whom they engaged were assessed against their actual traces of engagement during that 24 hours. Interviews Recorded Skype interviews were conducted with 10 participants, as well as one follow-up interview some months after the initial conversation. Interview questions were semi-structured; most were based in part on the hour reflection documents.
Interview conversations were encouraged to diverge from the script of questions. Coding and Analysis Interview transcripts were combined with any hour reflections submitted, and any relevant participant blog posts were also added to these documents. All 13 active participants completed either an interview or the hour reflection, so data for the study was comprised of 13 documents plus notes, favorites, and screen captures from participant observation. Key emergent themes were identified in the participant documents, the screen captures of tweets and other interactions, the favorites, and the notes, and were hand-coded and themed in order to try to trace relationships and patterns related to practices of connection, care and vulnerability.
Open coding was used first to create categories that might suggest webs of significance, and then a form of axial coding was used in which the data was re-read against themes, codes, and subcodes. Believability, based on coherence, insight, and instrumental utility Eisner, , and trustworthiness Lincoln and Guba, , based in processes of pattern identification and verification, were both central premises of the validity structure of the study.
Discussion, input, and critique were all sought. As the study up was written up for formal publication, participants saw findings first, and had the opportunity to suggest alterations that better reflected their experiences. During the observation period, all participants shared at least one blog post, podcast, report, slide deck, or formal publication of their own via Twitter.
Some shared significantly more, depending on individual volume of output. This scholarly content predominantly related to research areas or to current issues in popular culture or higher education. Much of the work shared was iterative or in-process, exploring thoughts that might later be formalised into a peer-reviewed format or a formal presentation. Participants who regularly engaged in sharing and responding to social signals also tended to invite commentary on their ideas and respond to discussions and retweets of their work, and left myriad traces of their social and scholarly engagement on the web.
In effect, resident participants built digital identities through the accumulation of visible, searchable traces of resident, relational engagement, and were recognized by others for doing so. Most curated links from a wider range of topics than they tended to write on. Some noted in interviews that they found it powerful to be able to draw attention to broad issues of concern, and to address publics beyond their discipline or accustomed academic public. I made a conscious decision to establish a scholarly identity on Facebook and that I would use my profile only for scholarly and human rights issues.
Participants also frequently included the Twitter handles of the authors of linked posts or articles in their tweets, thus making themselves visible to those authors and gradually building ties of collegiality. Public Practices Across the study, sharing the work of others was found to be a dominant commonality among participant accounts, and a way for scholars to build emergent public identities and become known within a particular field or conversation.
The extent of this practice of sharing is indicated by the fact that in the course of one hour period of observation during the study, the research Twitter feed had tweets from 74 different accounts, while during another hour span later in the observation period, 90 separate accounts were counted in the research feed.
The feed only followed 22 individuals, so in both cases, all the rest were retweets circulated by those Perceived breaches of this sharing norm even drew overt critical commentary during the period of observation. Scholarly content was not the focus of all communications observed in the study, however. Again, there was a visible trend among the more resident participants in the study to engage more than other participants with pop culture and with public narratives, particularly during breaking news events or in response to controversial articles that appeared in major publications such as The Atlantic, The New York Times, or in higher education venues.
In some cases, smaller accounts and less resident participants also weighed in on these articles and issues, but were more likely to do so at a relative delay compared to more resident peers. Within 48 hours of a popular or controversial public outcry or discussion, the most-followed and the most-active accounts in the study separate groups, though with overlap had almost invariably moved on to other topics.
Other common practices and visibility strategies noted were more personal, and centered on the public narration of daily routines and related milestones, wherein scholars shared often-mundane aspects of identity. Even when related to work or scholarship, these signals operated to personalize engagement and invite attention by foregrounding individuals and their circumstances, cultivating publics invested in those identities and their ongoing performance, as well as their thoughts and scholarly contributions.
Some tweets invited celebration, by articulating life and scholarship milestones and making them visible within the network. These signals tended to receive significant positive attention and engagement. Some shared lessons learned, particularly those that might prove valuable for a community of fellow scholars, graduate students, or educators. Some tweets lamented challenges or invited commiseration.
Self-deprecation or humor was regularly used to mitigate the invitation to pay attention. Some contributions invited others to work with them in formal or informal ways, creating visibility between the two parties but also extending public respect to the invitee. Finally, a common practice that enabled participants to cultivate publics was the expression of thanks or of giving credit where due. Networked displays of public recognition drive attention to the credited individual s in visible and replicable text form. In the study, credited parties consistently retweeted credit-giving tweets more often than other forms of attention directed at them, indicating that sharing the praise of others may, like humor and self-deprecation, constitute a socially-acceptable means of cultivating attention with academic Twitter.
Shout-outs are becoming very popular, so this is about people recognising that social currency on the web. The concepts of secondary orality and secondary literacy emphasize the immediacy and dialogic nature of digital communications, even though they may occur in replicable, searchable text formats and thus operate in highly literate registers as well. Thus, academic Twitter enables a collapsed space of engagement, wherein the analytic, text-based content of scholarship is shared via often-casual, participatory, and dialogic forms of exchange.
Within this collapsed space, dialogic intimacy is regularly on display. Often these conversations centered around points of commonality in profile information or recent shared blog posts, enabling individuals to make themselves visible to each other, and creating opportunities for the explicit establishment of ties. In hypersonal communications, computer-mediated intimacy and group- or dyad-relationships may be stronger than those established face-to-face, as irrelevant or distracting information is minimized. SusannaDW non-participant, with permission to catherinecronin: In the study, it was noted that agonistic, informal, and playful speech forms tended to generate by far the most signals of attention in terms of likes and retweets.
In secondary orality or literacy, these rhetorical, repetitive uses of language are evident in phenomena such as internet memes, wherein oral, visual, and textual forms of humor are repeated and circulated in part as a means of establishing central objects Baym, around which online communities can create shared meaning and belonging.
Interestingly, memic language and rhetorical registers were found in the study to be deployed most often and most consistently by the participants who had the largest and arguably most-active accounts on Twitter. For example, the repetition in the tweet below — one in a series about adjunct exclusion — draws on orality and secondary orality to demand audience attention, centering the speaking subject and all those who might identify with her in an agonistic, conflict-based narrative using a deliberate mix of formal and highly informal language.
These oral cultural norms of artful, fluent volubility marked the study accounts that appeared to have the largest and most active audiences. However, notes from participant observation and the hour reflections indicate that effective performative use of secondary orality and secondary literacy registers to assert identity increased visibility and circulation in academic Twitter, at least for resident users during the window of study.
While the study did not set out to assess causality between adept use of oral, rhetorical language strategies and academic Twitter influence, participant assessments of exemplar identities also suggest that informal and orally-adept language use can be an important aspect of creating an identity that other users perceive as having potential to contribute to their own experience of the platform Stewart, a. All participants explicitly indicated that they and others in their circles were attended to and cared for as a part of their NPS engagement.
Networks were constructed as valuable sites of belonging and meaning; participants regularly demonstrated and testified to care and belonging experienced in NPS. These testaments were not only evidenced in the interviews but in the public data generated by participants.
KateMfD, countering the way cyberbullying is framed for her teen daughter with the assertion that networks are also sites of care: Ultimately, participant narratives indicated that the collapse of oral and literate practices within academic Twitter may allow them to feel that the platform has professional use for them while still benefiting from the sociality and care that its hyperpersonal and casual register enable. Participants also valued the opportunities that hyperpersonal communications offer them to be, in effect, a person who offers care to others.
Northwestern University Press, Description Book — xii, pages: Summary The Translated Jew brings together an eclectic set of literary and visual texts to reimagine the transnational potential for German-Jewish culture in the twenty-first century. Departing from scholarship that has located the German-Jewish text as an object that can be defined geographically and historically, The Translated Jew challenges national literary historiography and redraws the maps by which transnational Jewish culture and identity must be read.
This book explores the myriad acts of translation, actual and metaphorical, through which Jewishness leaves its traces, taking as a given the always provisional nature of Jewish text and Jewish language. Although the focus is on contemporary German-Jewish literary cultures, The Translated Jew also turns its attention to a number of key visual and architectural projects by American, British, and French artists and writers, including W. In thus realigning German-Jewish culture with European and American Jewish culture and post-Holocaust aesthetics, this book explores the circulation of Jewishness between the U.
The insistence on the polylingualism of any single language and the multidirectionality of Jewishness are at the very center of The Translated Jew. Nielsen Book Data In Translating the World, Birgit Tautz provides a new narrative of German literary history in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Departing from dominant modes of thought regarding the nexus of literary and national imagination, she examines this intersection through the lens of Germany's emerging global networks and how they were rendered in two very different German cities: German literary history has tended to employ a conceptual framework that emphasizes the nation or idealized citizenry; yet the experiences of readers in eighteenth-century German cities existed within the context of their local environments, in which daily life occurred and writers such as Lessing, Schiller, and Goethe worked.
Hamburg, a flourishing literary city in the late eighteenth century, was eventually relegated to the margins of German historiography, while Weimar, then a small town with an insular worldview, would become mythologized for not only its literary history but its centrality in national German culture. By interrogating the histories of and texts associated with these cities, Tautz shows how literary styles and genres are born of local, rather than national, interaction with the world.
Her examination of how texts intersect and interact reveals how they shape and transform the urban cultural landscape as they are translated and move throughout the world. A fresh, elegant exploration of literary translation, discursive shifts, and global cultural changes, Translating the World is an exciting new story of eighteenth-century German culture and its relationship to expanding global networks that will especially interest scholars of comparative literature, German studies, and literary history.

Waiting for my band The blues and blue jeans: American dreams in the East Two black boys look at the white boy The future is unwritten. Analyzing literary texts and films, White Rebels in Black shows how German authors have since the s appropriated black popular culture, particularly music, to distance themselves from the legacy of Nazi Germany, authoritarianism, and racism, and how such appropriation changes over time. Priscilla Layne offers a critique of how blackness came to symbolize a positive escape from the hegemonic masculinity of postwar Germany, and how black identities have been represented as separate from, and in opposition to, German identity, foreclosing the possibility of being both black and German.
Citing four autobiographies published by black German authors Hans Jurgen Massaquo, Theodor Michael, Gunter Kaufmann, and Charly Graf, Layne considers how black German men have related to hegemonic masculinity since Nazi Germany, and concludes with a discussion on the work of black German poet, Philipp Khabo Koepsell.

Using Hannah Arendt's concept of natality, Joseph O'Neil argues that Lessing, Goethe, and Kleist see birth as challenging paradigms of Romanticism as well as of Enlightenment, resisting the assimilation of the political to economics, science, or morality. They choose instead to preserve the conflicts and tensions at the heart of social, political, and poetic revolutions. In a historical reading, these tensions evolve from the idea of revolution as Arendt reads it in British North America to the social and economic questions that shape the French Revolution, culminating in a consideration of the culture of the modern republic as such.
Alongside this geopolitical evolution, the ways of representing the political change, too, moving from the new as revolutionary eruption to economic metaphors of birth. More pressing still is the question of revolutionary subjectivity and political agency, and Lessing, Goethe, and Kleist have an answer that is remarkably close to that of Walter Benjamin, as that "secret index" through which each past age is "pointed toward redemption.

A pedagogy of observation: Bucknell University Press, [] Description Book — x, pages, 4 unnumbered pages of plates: Reading Panoramas Chapter 2: Panorama Entertainments and Fashion Journals Chapter 3: The Panorama and the Limits of Representation Chapter 4: The Urban Apartment as Panorama: Nielsen Book Data A Pedagogy of Observation argues that the fascination with learning about the past and new locations in panoramic form spread far from the traditional sites of popular entertainment and amusement.
Although painted panoramas captivated audiences from Hamburg to Leipzig and Berlin to Vienna, relatively few people had direct access to this invention. Instead, most Germans in the early nineteenth century encountered panoramas for the first time through the written word. The panorama experience described in this book centers on the emergence of a new type of visual language and self-fashioning in material culture adopted by Germans at the turn of the nineteenth century, one that took cues from the pedagogy of observing and interpreting space at panorama shows.
By reading about what editors, newspaper correspondents, and writers referred to as "panoramas, " curious Germans learned about a new representational medium and a new way to organize and produce knowledge about the scenes on display, even if they had never seen these marvels in person. Like an audience member standing on a panorama platform at a show, reading about panoramas transported Germans to new worlds in the imagination, while maintaining a safe distance from the actual transformations being portrayed.
A Pedagogy of Observation identifies how the German bourgeois intelligentsia created literature as panoramic stages both for self-representation and as a venue for critiquing modern life. These written panoramas, so to speak, helped German readers see before their eyes industrial transformations, urban development, scientific exploration, and new possibilities for social interactions.
Through the immersive act of reading, Germans entered an experimental realm that fostered critical engagement with modern life before it was experienced firsthand. Surrounded on all sides by new perspectives into the world, these readers occupied the position of the characters that they read about in panoramic literature. From this vantage point, Germans apprehended changes to their immediate environment and prepared themselves for the ones still to come.

The Problem of China: Neo-Romantic Modernism and Daoism: Nielsen Book Data Over the course of the eighteenth century, European intellectuals shifted from admiring China as a utopian place of wonder to despising it as a backwards and despotic state. That transformation had little to do with changes in China itself, and everything to do with Enlightenment conceptions of political identity and Europe's own burgeoning global power. China in the German Enlightenment considers the place of German philosophy, particularly the work of Leibniz, Goethe, Herder, and Hegel, in this development.
Beginning with the first English translation of Walter Demel's classic essay "How the Chinese Became Yellow, " the collection's essays examine the connections between eighteenth-century philosophy, German Orientalism, and the origins of modern race theory.

General conditions, examples and major players, primarily represented the Swiss context, are discussed and placed in the international context as far as possible.
In the seminar, the topics covered in the lectures are explored in greater depth thematically, expanded to cover additional standpoints and placed in the context of circumstances and 7. The objective is to encourage exchange and collaboration among the students: They give an oral presentation of and commentary on the texts, provide written summaries and lead actively the discussion.
In two meetings, current elective subject projects are presented by the elective subject students. In the workshops, proposals for and interim reports on MAS projects are discussed with Prof. Eberle and external experts. The objective is to supplement the stances and competencies of the team and provide students with additional input to provide them direction.
The MAS projects are discussed individually and in comparison on the level of method and of content. The guidance consists of the working method, individual guidance, and group guidance. The objective of the working method is the introduction to scientific research practices including the most important instruments and methods for qualitative social research. The objective of individual guidance is to support the students with both content and methodology as they conceptualise, implement, write up and design their MAS final projects and to provide access to relevant sources.
These meetings are scheduled with the team by individual appointment.
The objective of group guidance is to reflect on the material presented in the workshops, to discuss how to proceed and to provide general hints on the conception and methodology of the MAS projects. The objective of the excursions is to get to know and learn to understand current examples of new or renovated residential buildings or neighbourhood open areas in their urban planning, economic and social context.
Study groups of two or three students each are formed for the duration of a semester. The goals are to encourage exchange and collaboration in a study group, to make one s own competences available and to support one another in the learning process.
