Softcover. Condition: Fine. Leichte Gebrauchsspuren. Focusing on the public reaction to the Franklin expedition's aftermath, this paper examines the allegations of cannibalism that arose following the failed 1845 voyage. Key figures, including Lady Jane Franklin and Charles Dickens, vehemently denied these claims, which were fueled by hearsay from Inuit tribesmen. Despite later forensic confirmations, Victorian society largely rejected the notion of cannibalism among British sailors. The study explores the media's role in shaping public perception and the ongoing reluctance of British outlets to address these allegations compared to their German counterparts.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Seminar paper from the year 2017 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,3, Bielefeld University (Fakultät für Linguistik und Literaturwissenschaft: Anglistik), course: Modulprüfung (Profilmodul 2 - British Studies), language: English, abstract: Zombies are - considering the significant amount of media input - nearly all around us. What was once a niche genre, has long spread and entered the public consciousness and pop culture through a variety of movies and, more recently, through one very successful TV series adaption of a comic series, 'The Walking Dead' (2010) and its recent spinoff, 'Fear the Walking Dead' (2015). Video game series like Left 4 Dead or Dead Island likewise increased the ever-growing stack of zombie productions. And whereas there were few or no academic works specifically about zombies in the past, there is now a considerable part of academia that explores and observes the zombie from many different angles. There are works which examine the zombie culture according to philosophical, religious, historical, political or even environmental points of view.One issue that is being explored in these works is the question of humanity and how much of it is still contained in a zombie. As zombies are still able to fulfill basic human functions such as eating or walking, this inevitably leads to questions of human and zombie consciousness. If a person is 'zombified', does he or she still have access to the feelings of the person that was bitten Can these feelings be accessed and influence the zombie's behavior Or will a zombie always act like a mindless machine, never stopping and never settling for any less than human flesh This paper seeks to explore the questions mentioned above by analyzing scenes from the first, second and third season of AMC's TWD. I will first (Chapter 2) seek to explore how alive and conscious the living dead actually are, essentially ask, how much of a human there is still in them. I will first introduce neuroscientific/biological ideas to discuss how 'active' a zombie's brain is and later add neurobiological and philosophical input about consciousness. These thoughts, with an emphasis on the neuroscientific/biological theories, will provide the background for the analysis (Chapter 3): There I will analyze a selection of scenes from TWD's first three seasons and investigate how the series portrays the zombies' level of consciousness and agency. Finally, I will conclude my findings. …

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Seminar paper from the year 2015 in the subject Communications - Movies and Television, grade: 1,3, Bielefeld University (Fakultät für Linguistik und Literaturwissenschaft: Anglistik), course: Analyzing and Interpreting Literary Texts: US American Literatures, language: English, abstract: This essay analyses one episode of the popular US TV series 'Homeland', which has been said to be 'TV's most Islamophobic show' (cf. Al-Arian 2012) and decide if it contains islamophobic elements.In a first step, using a variety of different sources, islamophobia will be defined. Afterwards, the paper will link theoretical input about the effects of stereotyping to stereotyping of Muslims as terrorists in post 9/11 series such as '24' or 'Sleeper Cell'. It will then analyse one episode of Homeland and apply the theoretical input to decide whether or not the series contains islamophobic ellements. Finally, the findings of this paper will be concluded.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Seminar paper from the year 2016 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 1,0, Bielefeld University (Fakultät für Linguistik und Literaturwissenschaft: Anglistik), course: Modulprüfung (Profilmodul 2 - British Studies), language: English, abstract: This paper is concerned with the aftermath of the both failed and famous Franklin expedition of 1845, more specifically, the reaction of the public and those closely involved in the search. One central point of offence in the aftermath were allegations of cannibalism, which were strongly denied by central public figures, such as Lady Jane Franklin, Franklin's (widowed) wife and Charles Dickens. Likewise, newspapers reporting on the events expressed doubts about the true nature of these claims which originated from the hearsay evidence of several Inuit tribesmen. These reports were later confirmed by later search expeditions and ultimately by forensic evidence in the late eighties. But that seamen and especially officers of the Royal Navy - including famous war hero and explorer John Franklin - had resorted to cannibalism, seemed unthinkable to the British. So the Victorians chose to ignore or deny the accusations. And even today it can be observed that the British media - unlike German media - omit information about cannibalism in articles regarding new findings of the expedition. The question is, why. Why did the accusations stir up Victorian society And what role played the media in the aftermath For its investigation, this essay first recapitulates the events of the Franklin expedition and the search, which have been covered in great detail by many authors of different backgrounds. The paper then focuses on the Victorian values and ideas of British people of the mid-19th century. Of central interest will be the Victorian idea of a 'true Englishman' and how Sir John Franklin, the central figure of the expedition, was perceived by the public. What were he and other officers expected to do in dire circumstances and what certainly not And what did the British think of non-English and non-white people such as the indigenous Inuit Using the previously gained knowledge, Chapter 5 will then analyse newspaper articles to interpret to what degree the accusations were or were not taken seriously and what role British perception of the Inuit and cannibalism played in that regard. Of interest will also be if the media always was a willing participant in the battle for the image of the Englishman or if there were inconsistencies and to what degree media's argumentation may have been influenced by government policy. …

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2014 im Fachbereich Weltgeschichte - Frühgeschichte, Antike, Note: 2,0, Universität Bielefeld (Fakultät für Geschichtswissenschaft, Philosophie und Theologie/Abteilung Geschichte), Veranstaltung: Grundkurs Antike, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: In dieser Quelleninterpretation behandle ich die 431 v. Chr. in Athen ausgebrochene Seuche. Ich konzentriere mich hierbei auf die Analyse des politischen und moralischen Verfalls während der Seuche, der von Thukydides, einem antiken griechischen Geschichtsschreiber, in seinem Geschichtswerk 'Der peloponnesische Krieg' beschrieben wird. Von besonderer Bedeutung ist dabei die Fragestellung, ob das von Thukydides genannte desaströse gesellschaftliche Verhältnis die damals vorhandenen Verhältnisse widerspiegelt. …
