Vom Weltbürger zum Global Player. Harry Potter als kulturübergreifendes Phänomen
Published/Copyright:
January 23, 2006
Harry Potter is a crosscultural phenomenon in many respects. On the one hand, manifold intertextual references link the British author J. K. Rowlings novels to the literatures of the world; on the other, we state their worldwide commercialization and related tendencies of unification through their medialization and diversification. The Harry Potter debate in the newspaper feuilletons shows general concern regarding the ruthless global commercialization of culture, and can be interpreted as a sign of yearning for a selfdetermined, comprehensible and lasting world.
