Im Fokus der Studienarbeit steht das Verhältnis der Bevölkerung zu den Expansions- und Rassenpolitiken während des Imperialismus. Besonders beleuchtet werden die Aktivitäten von Vereinigungen, die unabhängig von der deutschen Regierung ein Germanisierungs- und Expansionsprogramm verfolgten. Die Analyse konzentriert sich auf die polnisch geprägten preußischen Ostprovinzen und untersucht, wie diese Dynamiken die Gesellschaft und die politischen Strömungen der Zeit beeinflussten. Die Arbeit bietet somit einen tiefen Einblick in die sozialen und politischen Herausforderungen des 19. Jahrhunderts.
Andreas Hepp takes an integrative look at one of the biggest questions in media and communications research: how digital media is changing society. Often, such questions are discussed in isolation, losing sight of the overarching context in which they are situated. Hepp has developed a theory of the re-figuration of society by digital media and their infrastructures, and provides an understanding of how profound today's media-related changes are, not only for institutions, organizations and communities, but for the individual as well. Rooted in the latest research, this book does not stop at a description of media-related change; instead, it raises the normative challenge of what deep mediatization should look like so that it might just stimulate a 'good life' for all. Providing original and critical research, the book introduces deep mediatization to students of media and cultural studies, as well as neighboring disciplines like sociology, political science and other cognate disciplines.
