Anmerkungen zur Metamoderne
Co-authored with Robin van Den Akker. Translated by Elias Wagner. TEXTEM Verlag 2015

Während sich viele Kommentatoren darüber einig sind, dass wir die Koordinaten der Postmoderne verlassen haben, herrscht wenig Einigkeit darüber, mit welchem Modell sich die Gegenwart erfassen und verändern lässt.

Mit ihren Überlegungen zur Metamoderne spüren Robin van den Akker und Timotheus Vermeulen einer Haltung nach, die die ironische Distanz gegenüber Idealismus, Romantik und Realpolitik überwindet, ohne die Errungenschaften postmoderner Skepsis leichtfertig preiszugeben.

Scenes from the Suburbs: The Suburb in Contemporary US Film and Television
Edinburgh University Press 2014

Suburbia. Say the word and a stream of images pass before your eyes: white picket fence, neatly mowed lawns, winding roads nicely lined with trees, pastel-tinted bungalows, bored housewives, conspicuous consumption. We all know what the suburbs are about. Or do we? This book looks again at the filmic and televised spaces we think we know so well. How are these spaces built up? What is it that makes us recognize them as suburbs? How do they function? By exploring in detail the hometowns of Desperate Housewives, The Simpsons, King of the Hill, Happiness, Pleasantville, Brick and Chumscrubber, Scenes from the SuburbsC examines what it means to be suburban today. An essential read for academics concerned with the ways in which our understandings of space and place change, this book is particularly relevant for students and researchers in Suburban Studies, Film and Television Studies and Urban Geography.
