Guido Rings - Academia.edu (original) (raw)
I am Professor of Postcolonial Studies, director of the Research Unit for Intercultural and Transcultural Studies (RUITS), and Course Leader for the MA Intercultural Communication at Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge, UK. I was previously Reader in Intercultural Studies and Head of Modern Foreign Languages at the same institution, and I was Visiting Professor for Romance Literature and Film at the University of Düsseldorf, the Global University of Seoul and the University of Giessen. I am also co-editor of German as a Foreign Language (GFL) and Interdisciplinary Mexico (iMex), the first fully refereed internet journals in Europe for their respective fields. I am member of the Higher Education Academy (HEA).

This study explores the challenges of its superdiverse protagonists – cleaners at London University – who suffer under precarious conditions. The author discusses the protagonists’ situation as example of contemporary neo-colonialism, and suggests potential ways forward.

The contributors to this special issue of GFL attempt to explore such questions from within contemporary cinematic productions, and most of them focus-just like the German Chancellor-on German-Turkish relations within the Federal Republic and particularly on the position of second and third generation German Turks. The wide spectrum of different German, Turkish and German-Turkish portrayals of the Self and the Other will have to be investigated in more detail if new solutions to the old challenge of integrating people from different cultural backgrounds are to be found. However, German-Turkish cinema is not only of interest with regard...
