Entlang der Forschungsfelder Kulturgeografie, Gender, Body und Disability Studies werden diffamierte und diskriminierte Figurationen mit Stigmata, Devianz oder sonstigen Beeinträchtigungen aus der HBO-Serie „Game of Thrones“ in den Blick genommen, um Alterität als 'identitätsstiftende Verschiedenheit' fassbar zu machen. Das Serienmaterial ist dabei sowohl Ausgangspunkt als auch Anwendungsbeispiel für Projektionsflächen der Gegenwart. Das Buch kann als gedankliches Kaleidoskop für die Nachlese zu ausgewählten Charakteren der acht Staffeln umfassenden US-Produktion sowie zur Einstimmung auf die Nachfolgeserie „House of the Dragon“ dienen.

In seven chapters, this book offers a comprehensive and accessible characterisation of the first-person shooter videogame genre. After providing an overview of the history of the first-person shooter videogame genre, Alberta Oya comments on the various defining peculiarities of the first-person shooter videogame genre, namely the first-person perspective, the shooting gaming mechanics, the heroic in-game narrative or background story, and multiplayer gaming. Oya explores these features and uses them to argue that educators can use first-person shooter videogames to encourage their students to reflect on historical and philosophical issues.

New Intersectional Approaches to German Studies
Founded in 1972, this series welcomes publications that further develop the investigation of German-language literature(s) and culture(s) from a transdisciplinary perspective, covering the period from 1600 onwards. This includes edited volumes and monographs offering state-of-the-art research, as well as new critical editions of primary sources and collections.
Our mission remains to publish high quality research, especially new transdisciplinary approaches to German Studies. Consequently, the series offers a venue for exploring emerging fields of study that intersect with German cultural studies. This may include but is not limited to gender and sexuality studies, critical race and whiteness studies, disability studies, transcultural and postcolonial studies, film, theatre, and comic studies.
All submissions are subject to a double-anonymous peer review process prior to publication.
Authors are cordially invited to submit proposals for manuscripts in either German or English to the publisher at BRILL, Masja Horn.
Please advise our Guidelines for a Book Proposal.

The electronic version of the series Approaches to Translation Studies..
Approaches to Translation Studies is an international series promoting the scholarly study of translation. The notion of plural ‘approaches’ to translation and its study calls up images of scholarly explorers following untrodden paths to translation, or more cautiously (re)tracing the familiar routes. Either way, it indicates a refusal to be tied to dogma or prejudice, a curiosity about possible new vistas, and an awareness that the observer’s view depends on where s/he comes from. But a recognition of the plurality of possible approaches does not necessarily mean passive acquiescence to relativism and scepticism. The idea of ‘approaching’ translation also implies a sense of purpose and direction.
In the context of today’s globalised and pluralised world, this metaphorically suggested perspective is perhaps more relevant than ever before. The series therefore remains fully committed to it, while trying to respond to the rapid changes of our digital age. Ready to travel between genres, media and technologies, willing to span centuries and continents, and always keeping an open mind about the various oppositions that have too often needlessly divided researchers (e.g. high culture versus popular culture, linguistics versus literary studies versus cultural studies, translation ‘proper’ versus ‘adaptation’), the series Approaches to Translation Studies will continue to accommodate all translation-oriented books that match high-quality scholarship with an equal concern for reader-friendly communication.
Approaches to Translation Studies is open to a wide range of scholarly publications in the field of Translation Studies (monographs, collective volumes…). Dissertations are welcome but will obviously need to be thoroughly adapted to their new function and readership. Conference proceedings and collections of articles will only be considered if they show strong thematic unity and tight editorial control. For practical reasons, the series intends to continue its tradition of publishing English-language research. While students, teachers and scholars in the various schools and branches of Translation Studies make up its primary readership, the series also aims to promote a dialogue with readers and authors from various neighbouring disciplines.
Approaches to Translation Studies was launched in 1970 by James S Holmes (1924-1986), who was also one of the ‘founding fathers’ of Translation Studies as an academic discipline. At later stages the series’ editorship passed into the hands of Raymond van den Broeck, Kitty M. van Leuven-Zwart and Ton Naaijkens. Being the very first international series specifically catering for the needs of the fledgling discipline in the 1970s, Approaches to Translation Studies has played a significant historical role in providing it with a much needed platform as well as giving it greater visibility in the academic marketplace.
Authors are cordially invited to submit proposals and/or full manuscripts to the publisher at BRILL, Masja Horn.
Volumes 2, 4, and 5 were published by Van Gorcum (Assen, The Netherlands), but orders should be directed to Brill | Rodopi.
The series published an average of two volumes per year over the last 5 years.

Abstract
As billowing masses averse to stillness and defined by perpetual variability, clouds, fog and mist share common ontological properties. This article will group them together under the rubric of the “nebulous,” and probe its conceptual and aesthetic relationship with film. Fog, smoke and mist are pervasive through the entire history of cinema and crop up in an array of genres and modes. What would film history look like if traced from the perspective of these cloud forms? The article hopes to sketch out the first contours of such a history by honing in on a durational cinematic tradition, from the “landscape film” of the 1970s through to contemporary slow cinema. It will conceive of such a history as intermedial both in the sense that it extrapolates the boundaries of the film medium and in that it treats fog, mist and clouds as elemental “media” in their own right.

The ubiquity of digital images is an effect of their distributive versatility. They can be stored almost indefinitely, transmitted instantaneously, reproduced without any effort, visualized in many ways, datafied and processed. Their mobilization does not take place randomly, but follows a complex media logistics of format standards, infrastructures and transport calculations. Digital images are distributed: not as sessile objects, fixed entities, but as stream-like modulated processes. The study conceptualizes actors and agendas of image data traffic, examines retro-digitized archive image corpora with regard to their distribution histories, and deals with ‹calmed› image sensor operations in intelligent environments.

Das hier präsentierte Modell einer Energetik der Film-Rezeption reperspektiviert die Deleuzesche Kinophilosophie anhand der Leib-, Zeit- und Geistphilosophie Henri Bergsons und legt damit ein System der strukturellen und ästhetischen Einwirkung des Films auf die Rezeption dar. Das Film-Bild ist als Material und in seiner Bewegung geeignet, nicht nur die Sinne zu ergreifen und eine im emphatischen Sinne energetische Erfahrung herzustellen. Die sich über die Zeit entfaltenden Figurationen prägen sich ästhetisch ein, werden in der Erinnerung integriert und damit in der Rezeption als sinnhafte Strukturen rekonstruiert und erlebt. Die Energie der Zeichen besteht im Anschluss an Charles Sanders Peirce in der sinnlichen sowie in der relationalen Aufladung mit Reizen, Beziehungen und Bedeutungen. Die Mechanismen einer solchen Energetik werden an der Rezeption des Films exploriert, lassen sich aber auf andere Medien und Situationen der Rezeption oder des Begreifens übertragen.
