A major step to such an enterprise would be the replacement of semiotic concepts of culture dominant in Trans- and Intercultural Learning by a truly multidimensional one, built on insights from ecocriticism and New Materialism. The goal of Global Education in the foreign language classroom should be a deep integration of linguistic, literary, cultural, and ecological learning. For this, the genre of the Bildungsroman provides valuable opportunities, because the growing up of the protagonist is also a process of initiation into culture, in which the basic assumptions of this culture and its relationship to nature can be questioned. The chapter outlines a teaching unit on Margaret Atwood’s novel Surfacing (1972/1991) as an example.

Hans-Thies Lehmann's theory of Postdramatic Theatre, however, allows one to describe the exhibition of the act of narration in contemporary Irish plays as a break with both Epic Theatre and the drama of the Irish Literary Revival. In contrast with the alienation effects of Epic Theatre, contemporary Irish theatre texts create intense relationships between narrator and story on the one hand and between narrator and audience on the other. Yet the acts of narration also differ from those in the drama of the Irish Literary Revival in that oral storytelling takes the form of intimate confessions and focusses not on collective but individual memory. At the same time, the Irish example casts a critical light on some of Lehmann's concepts, particularly the avant-garde character of the so-called 'post-epic' narration and its inherent criticism of the mass media.

With this in mind, we set up a virtual exchange (VE) between second-year students from the University of Galway, Ireland, preparing for their Erasmus year in Germany, and students studying Irish literature and culture in their final year at a northern German grammar school. In this exchange the students themselves were to complete an autoethnographic task. The VE showed that autoethnography can serve as an instrument to address some of the problems that O’Dowd (2006) identified while using ethnographic methods in telecollaboration: the emergence of an asymmetrical relationship with conflicting roles and communicative styles, overgeneralisation, and the inability to suspend judgement. Furthermore, autoethnography as a dialogic form appears to be mor...
