Since the emergence of digital media in the 1990s, a new realm of interaction between the visual arts and religion has been forged and evolved. The spread of visual media technologies has significantly influenced the study of religious visual art worldwide after the 1990s. Despite this, the field of religious visual art during the digital era is still relatively uncharted, with a notable absence of comprehensive theoretical frameworks. To address this gap, the present paper employs bibliometric methods, conducting a thorough review and analysis of 2544 pieces of international academic literature in the domain of religion and visual arts post-1990s. The analytical framework is structured into three primary sections, each dedicated to answering key questions: (1) what constitutes the inherent relationship in the study of religion and visual art?, (2) what disciplinary context do these interplays occur within?, and (3) in which domains and regions does this interplay predominantly unfold? The outcomes of this rigorous analysis offer valuable insights into interdisciplinary influences and evolving research trends within the realm of religious visual art. These findings stand to benefit art researchers and practitioners, providing a comprehensive overview of potential avenues for the exploration of visual arts with religious themes. Through a systematic investigation, this research endeavors to heighten scholars’ awareness of the significance of visual arts in the field of religion and illuminate the interdisciplinary trends at the intersection of religion and visual arts.

“…Es soll darauf hingewiesen werden, dass der Bildbegriff keineswegs eindeutig definiert ist, sondern durch eine Vielfalt an Forschungsschwerpunkten verschiedener wissenschaftlicher Disziplinen deutungshoheitlich beansprucht wird (Hafez, 2002). Mitchell ( 2008), Günzel & Mersch (2014), aber auch Thiele (2015) haben hierzu eine umfassende Übersicht erarbeitet, welche die verschiedenen Disziplinen und deren Ansätze gegenüberstellt. Grundsätzlich wird zwischen phänomenologischen, semiotischen und anthropologischen Bildtheorien unterschieden (Günzel et al, 2014) (Hafez, 2002, S.36).…”

Russland im Spiegel der Medien : Eine Diskursanalyse der deutschen Presse 1999 bis 2016

Is Russia a fearful giant, an economic partner or a belligerent aggressor? The answer to this question depends on the perspective. What perspectives and consequently what answers does the German press landscape have to offer? What does the reporting on ""Putin's Russia"" look like in Germany? And how diverse is it? Danny Schmidt analyses how leading German media write about Russia. Articles from the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Neues Deutschland, Der Spiegel, Süddeutsche Zeitung and Welt paint a clear picture. The perspective is narrowed, the diversity of perspectives reduced, a neutral view not always given. Historical discourses reactivate stereotypes and fuel resentment. The result is the construction of a vital image of the enemy, which has become a sad reality in the war in Ukraine.

“…For instance, Michael Nitsche writes that, in the Metroid series, the “comprehensible multilayered interactive access enhances the depth of the game world as well as its dramatic structure” (Nitsche, 2008, p. 39); yet his analysis is limited to the movement and manipulation of objects in mimetic, 3D environments, explicitly ruling out other representational forms within the “mediated plane” such as the menus, databases, and procedurally generated maps in the Metroid series, and similar titles. Other examinations of space that recognize the importance of mapping focus on first-person shooters or God games (e.g., Günzel, 2007), only mentioning puzzle or adventure games in passing (Günzel, Liebe, & Mersch, 2010).…”

Metroid: Other M, the latest game in the Metroid series, was heavily criticized for the contradictory portrayal of its avatar-protagonist, Samus Aran. This paper analyzes these critiques within the twenty-five year history of the Metroid series, noting intersections with literary theory, cognitive science, geography, and cinema. "Mapping Metroid" argues that player dissatisfaction is a result of Other M's inconsistency in balancing gameplay constraints with player agency, and the game's failure at "imperative" storytelling. The maps in Other M and its predecessors are treated in depth, since the relationship between cartographic and gameworld spaces must be "read" dynamically by players to progress; these maps reflect the affordances of each game, and how those affordances contribute to player enjoyment or frustration. The paper concludes with the suggestion that paying attention to signifying spaces may help design better games, and help situate video games within a wider discussion of theories of postmodern subjectivity. Metroid's mapping system, this paper will argue, is the key. Understanding how that system's affordances are constructed in different Metroid installments is central to understanding how each game approaches storytelling. In the first section, I will situate this analysis with certain recent examinations of "narrativity" and space in games, specifically those outlined by Marie-Laure Ryan and Steffen Walz; in particular, I will use a theory of "imperative storytelling" as an interpretative framework that, working within these and other examinations, can be particularly instructive for the analysis of certain video game genres. I will go on to explain the successes of the Metroid series in the second section, and to analyze the problems associated with Other M in the third section, in both cases using an imperative storytelling approach. The final section will draw parallels between successful imperative storytelling and the processes of cognitive mapping that are felt to be integral to subjectivity in theories of postmodernism. This quasi-cartographic focus can in turn help to theorize more broadly a way of MAPPING METROID 3 decoding game objects and spaces (at least in the puzzle/action-adventure game genre 1 ) which would serve two purposes: first, to improve design practices; and second, to articulate how games are uniquely situated as a medium to model contemporary life. Keywords Narrative, Space and Video GamesMetroid: Other M has a relatively detailed "plot," told via cinematic cutscenes that features dialogue between identifiable characters; however, it is an outlier in the series, as most of the previous Metroid games have far less in-game storytelling in the conventional sense.Indeed, the lack in many video games of anything more than a simple scenario recounted in aninstruction manual is what has historically led some critics to question the storytelling significance of games in general. But things are perhaps more complicated, and a nuanced view of how we should evaluate the ...
