Multidisciplinary Perspectives on Narrative Aesthetics in Video Gamesis a collection of contemporary research and interpretation that explores the narrative structures in video games and ludonarrative content design in related media
Ausgewählte Passagen aus Texten griechischer und römischer Autoren führen die Grundgedanken der epikureischen Psychologie und Ethik vor. Deren zentrale Themen waren zum einen die verschiedenen Formen menschlichen Begehrens einschließlich des Sexuellen, zum anderen rationale und irrationale Ängste sowie der vernünftige Umgang mit ihnen. In diesem Zusammenhang entstand auch eine eigene Theorie der Wahrnehmung und Begriffsbildung, des Erkennens und des Handelns. Außerdem entstand eine detaillierte Rekonstruktion der Entwicklung, die die Menschheit in sozialer und technischer Hinsicht durchlaufen haben könnte. Dabei wurde der Herausbildung der menschlichen Sprachfähigkeit eine besonders wichtige Rolle zugewiesen. Das Buch möchte den Systemcharakter dieser Philosophie deutlich machen, soll aber auch der nichtfachlichen Leserschaft durch Neuübersetzungen einen Eindruck von der hohen literarischen Qualität der zum großen Teil dichterischen Quellentexte vermitteln.

Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg kamen sehr viele lexikalische Entlehnungen in der polnischen Alltagssprache unter, was vor allem die Folge der Bekämpfung der Mundarten und der Germanismen war. In der vorliegenden Monographie wird das Schicksal der Germanismen in der Alltagssprache von Ko¿cierzyna, Starogard Gdäski und W¿brze¿no beschrieben. Die Beschreibung erfolgt aufgrund der Befragung von der Generation der Großeltern, der Eltern und Kinder. Es konnten bemerkbare Unterschiede zwischen den einzelnen Generationen hinsichtlich der Kenntnis der Germanismen festgestellt werden. Während die älteste Generation noch ziemlich viele Germanismen kennt, sind der jüngsten Generation die meisten lexikalischen Entlehnungen aus dem Deutschen fremd.
