Series: Seminars and Colloquia
The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the world both dramatically and irrevocably. For months, politics and media have focused on COVID-19 and the countless facets of its impact of ever more uncertainty and insecurity in our lives. Following Zygmunt Bauman’s Liquid Fear (2006) and Wodak’s The Politics of Fear (2021), it has become evident that a “politics of fear (and hope)” has been reinforced and instrumentalized by numerous national governments, in significantly different ways. Accordingly, the range of discourses appear to have changed equally dramatically, in terms of both subject matter and discursive practices. Has the pandemic truly altered the strategies and mechanisms of mediatized politics? Which well-understood/well-studied discursive patterns and trends – including interdiscursivity, (re)nationalization, securitization – and which discursive strategies – like the blame-game (Rheindorf & Wodak 2018) and blame avoidance (Hansson 2015) are still to be found in times of COVID-19, perhaps in altered forms? Some may have been marginalized, while the pandemic may have acted as a catalyst for others. Drawing on the Discourse-historical Approach (DHA) in Critical Discourse Studies (CDS), we will raise such questions and attempt to answer them through theoretical considerations and empirical evidence.

One World? Or How Many? Haruki Murakami as a Global Author

Series: Seminars and Colloquia
The aim of this talk was to look behind the scenes and to explore the mechanisms of the creation of Haruki Murakami’s global stature. To what extent are they based on his writing, his particular topics, style, and other issues of “content”? Other aspects are worth noting, such as translation policy, marketing, and the creation of a certain authorial image. While we can, for instance, speculate about the role of the international prizes that help to determine and systematically expand his profile as a global author, the author’s own agency is not easy to discern. The talk shed light on some of these aspects, in particular on the role of (American) English and of translation in general, leading to surprising, if not upsetting conclusions.
