Die Alice-Maschine: Figurationen der Unruhe in der Populärkultur (Studien zu Kinder- und Jugendliteratur und -medien #6)
by Christine LötscherLewis Carrolls Alice-Bücher gehören zu den Klassikern der Kinderliteratur. Die Nonsense-Erzählungen wurden immer wieder neu interpretiert und vielfach für Theater, Kino und Fernsehen adaptiert; sie inspirierten Avantgarde-Bewegungen wie Dada und Surrealismus. Denn die Poetik der Alice-Bücher ist voller Widersprüche und Paradoxa, die sich in der Lektüre als ein vibrierender Zustand der Unruhe realisieren. Wenig bekannt ist aber, wie sehr das Zusammenspiel unvereinbarer ästhetischer Figurationen aus Alice in Wonderland ein Eigenleben in der Populärkultur entwickelt hat, das bis heute wirksam ist: als Alice-Maschine. Christine Lötscher macht diese Dynamik in ihren Analysen erstmals sichtbar und zeigt auf, wie die Alice-Maschine das Nicht-Verstehen, das Denken und Fühlen an der Grenze der Sinngebung zwischen Freiheit und Verstörung ästhetisch genießbar macht – besonders in Zeiten gesellschaftlicher und medialer Umbrüche.

Dig
by A.S. KingAcclaimed master of the YA novel A.S. King's eleventh book is a surreal and searing dive into the tangled secrets of a wealthy white family in suburban Pennsylvania and the terrible cost the family's children pay to maintain the family name.The Shoveler, the Freak, CanIHelpYou?, Loretta the Flea-Circus Ring Mistress, and First-Class Malcolm. These are the five teenagers lost in the Hemmings family's maze of tangled secrets. Only a generation removed from being Pennsylvania potato farmers, Gottfried and Marla Hemmings managed to trade digging spuds for developing subdivisions and now sit atop a seven-figure bank account--wealth they've declined to pass on to their adult children or their teenage grandchildren. "Because we want them to thrive," Marla always says. What does thriving look like? Like carrying a snow shovel everywhere. Like selling pot at the Arby's drive-thru window. Like a first class ticket to Jamaica between cancer treatments. Like a flea-circus in a double-wide. Like the GPS coordinates to a mound of dirt in a New Jersey forest. As the rot just beneath the surface of the Hemmings' precious suburban respectability begins to spread, the far-flung grandchildren gradually find their ways back to one another, just in time to uncover the terrible cost of maintaining the family name.With her inimitable surrealism and insight into teenage experience, A.S. King explores how a corrosive culture of polite, affluent white supremacy tears a family apart and how one determined generation can save themselves.
