Pop music is a deeply transmedial art form, a hybrid of images,
attitudes, performances and texts. This bilingual volume examines the
diverse transmedial processes in which German-language pop music and
other forms of art enrich each other. It aims to make an important
contribution to the emerging field of German Pop Music Studies, which
is currently enjoying an upsurge in interest. Consisting of chapters
by a range of scholars from both the Anglophone world and Germany, it
explores how German pop music interacts transnationally with political
issues as well as art forms such as film, performance art and fine
art. It has a particular focus on the manifold processes of mutual
exchange and hybridization between German-language literature and
German pop music. The artists examined include Kraftwerk,
Einstürzende Neubauten, Tocotronic, Ja, Panik, Gerhard Richter and R.
W. Fassbinder. Dieser zweisprachige Band untersucht die vielfältigen
transmedialen Prozesse, in denen sich deutschsprachige Pop-Musik und
Kunstrichtungen wie Film, Kunst oder Performance gegenseitig
befruchten. Er versteht sich damit als deutsch-britischer
Brückenschlag, der die sich in der englischen Germanistik
herausbildende German Pop Music Studies an die deutschen Vorarbeiten
anzuschließen sucht. Ein besonderer Fokus des Bandes liegt auf den
vielgestaltigen Interaktionen zwischen deutscher Pop-Musik und
Literatur.
