Deservingness Perceptions Toward Refugees
Refugee men are found to be less deserving of government support than refugee women. However, is this still the case if they engage in economic reciprocal behavior and attitudes? Following theories on gender stereotypes and benevolent sexism, we argue that economic activity is expected less of female than of male refugees and that this translates into gendered perceptions of deservingness of financial support. Analyzing data from a 2016 factorial…
The theology of the image in television and emblem theories
The article provides a comparative analysis of the similarities of arguments put forward by discourses on mass imagery in the Renaissance and modernity. In particular, emblem theories are quite striking in the way they advanced similar arguments to theories about television. In both cases we find iconoclast and iconodule arguments, and in both cases we find an implicit, holy or unholy theological connection being made between mass medium, the ima…
Philology
Philology can be seen as a rather technical discipline developing methods to prove the authenticity of any edited text as well as a hermeneutical discipline dealing with the question of textual meaning in general. Philology can also be regarded as a self‐reflexive tool within communication theory and media philosophy where it helps to foster methodological awareness of the very medium we choose to operate in when addressing the question of other …
The body of imagination and the technology of imagery in the Renaissance and in Modernity
Throughout history, the concepts of phantasia (Greek) or imaginatio (Latin) have been linked to the concept of the human body and in particular to our sensory perceptions. But phantasia/imaginatio have also always been linked to the mind and how the operations of the mind are connected with bodily sensations. Functioning as interface between the senses and the mind, phantasia has predominantly been exemplified with the notion of the visual image,…
Blumen Berg
The text consists of two parts. Part one puts the works of Hans Blumenberg, as far as they tackle the problem of rhetoric, into their historical context. Relevant here in particular is the tradition of topological philosophies of the Renaissance and their different types of revival in the 20th century. Part two analyses three main 'absolute metaphors' or 'topoi' Hans Blumenberg has investigated, the metaphors of 'light', 'shipwreck', and 'book of…
Introduction
Kittler's optic
The article situates Kittler's view on the question of visual technology within his general media theory and critically examines Kittler's optical paradigm with regard to questions of (visual) technology, discourse, strategy and style. Focus is given to the link between visual technology and the Renaissance period
Literaturtheorie ohne Bild mit Metapher
Word and Image
This text focuses from a philological perspective on media theories and their impact on traditional text-based disciplines. Therefore it looks at the problems that have emerged for Media Studies as well as for traditional studies in philology when reflecting on the concept of self-reference, since their subjects can seemingly no longer rely on the purity of the written word. If research work in the field of humanities is still mainly documented b…
