For many years 'anglistik & englischunterricht' has been devoted to the exploration of a wide
range of questions within the field of British and American culture and the teaching of
culture. The objective of the first volume on globalisation is to provide a diverse approach to
the problem area of globalisation which perhaps more than any other issue needs to be
addressed from a wide variety of disciplinary perspectives. It is however also self-evident
that the number of specific questions to be covered within the scope of this volume is
necessarily very limited and cannot serve as a systematic introduction to a problem area that
by definition defies any such endeavour. Therefore the publication offers a selection of
contributions from linguistic literary film and cultural studies with a partly strong focus
on teaching on secondary and tertiary levels. The volume should offer valuable insights not
only for teachers at schools and universities but also for the interested public.
