Die digitalen Medien verändern unsere Lese- und Schreibgewohnheiten sowie die Art, wie wir recherchieren und archivieren. Um auch computer- und internetbezogene Phänomene erforschen zu können, müssen die Kulturwissenschaften ihre Fragestellungen und ihr methodisches Spektrum stetig weiterentwickeln. Die Verbindung von digitalen und nicht-digitalen Verfahren spielt dabei eine besondere Rolle. Der Band bietet exemplarische Einblicke in Forschungen zu kommunikativen Kulturtechniken aus sprach-, didaktik- und geschichtsbezogenen Disziplinen der Kulturwissenschaften.

Seminar paper from the year 2003 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Other, grade: 1 (A), University of Frankfurt (Main) (Institute for England and American Studies), course: Decadenca and Modernism in Late 20th Century Cinema, 36 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: Christopher Nolan’s low budget film Memento (2000), which is based on the concept of a short story named Memento Mori written by Nolan’s brother Jonathan, was certainly one of the most successful films in the United States in 2000. In most cinemas it was shown for more than 15 weeks in the summer season – the most competitive season of the year. While the success of many modern Hollywood films is a result of “money, hype and more money”, Memento “represents a triumph of writing, directing, and performance” (Klein 2001). This film belongs to the so called neo-noir and revenge-film genre. In this paper these two genres will first of all be described in detail. Afterwards, the plot and the narrative structure of Memento – which is extremely complex, clever and demands intelligence and constant attention from its spectators – will be discussed.
