| dc.description.abstract | This master thesis explores the potential of aesthetic media, specifically graphic novels, to enhance culture-related learning in the context of teaching German as a foreign language. In response to recent developments in cultural studies, which have revised the concept of culture and reshaped foreign language teaching objectives, this research investigates how aesthetic media can promote a semiotic and performative understanding of culture. Central to this investigation is the concept of “discourse," which leads to a reassessment of the role of literature and aesthetic media in cultural learning practices. The primary research question examines how complex developments in cultural studies and media didactics can be integrated into foreign language through literature and aesthetic media. This thesis hypothesizes that aesthetic media, through their reflective engagement with power dynamics and their integration of diverse media forms, can meet the needs of contemporary cultural didactics. To demonstrate this, the study focuses on an analysis of the graphic novel Madgermanes by Birgit Weyhe. It argues that the novel's multimodal nature effectively fosters culture-sensitive and power-reflective learning processes, which are essential in today's globalized educational contexts. The analysis examines four key aspects of the novel, showing how its aesthetic and multimodal structure can be utilized to engage learners in discourse, enhance their symbolic competence, and promote their participation in diverse cultural narratives. The findings suggest that the graphic novel, as an aesthetic medium, supports culture-related learning processes by enabling learners to critically engage with cultural discourses, thus fostering competencies such as multiliteracies, discourse ability, and symbolic competence. The study concludes that Madgermanes is particularly effective in this role, highlighting the value of integrating aesthetic media into the foreign language curriculum to develop a more reflective and inclusive approach to cultural education. | en_ZA |
