Book excerpt: In response to the silence that continues to shroud Austria’s historical past, Austrian literature after 1950 wants to retrace an untold history that left its marks in mental schemata and cultural clichés. The question how literature can refer to the facts silenced by a political unconscious, the question of literary reference and reality description, lies at the core of Austrian literature since the 1950’s. This book traces the development of contemporary Austrian fiction from the 1950s to the 1990s, showing how the Vienna Group’s literary reductionism led to gesture of mere pointing in happening and performance. While strongly indebted to the experimental techniques of the Vienna Group, later Austrian authors such as Thomas Bernhard, Peter Handke, Peter Rosei, and Gerhard Roth employ literary forms and extra-literary media prone to the indexical in an attempt to cut through the net of linguistic and cultural clichés, alluding to the microfascisms latent in common percepts, and indexing a reality that eludes plain description.

Book excerpt: This anthology presents an image of the Austrian people through short narrative prose works by forty of the leading modern and contemporary authors. The dimensions of being human, from the soaring heights to the abysmal depths, are most striking in the relationships of the individual to his or her surroundings. For this reason prose pieces were chosen that illustrate relationships, not only those between man and wife, man and woman, murderer and victim, father and daughter or mother and daughter, but also those between man and man, human being and God, man and city, as well as relationships between familiar and alien forms of life.

Download or read book Shadows of the Past written by Hans H. Schulte and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2009 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did Austrian writers grapple with their country's problematic twentieth-century history? Nine scholars investigate how the complex role of the national past changed the content and context of Austria's literature. Contributions range from Klaus Zeyringer's aggressive argument for an authentically Austrian literature, to the late Harry Zohn's autobiographical insights of a transplanted Viennese. Probing essays examine the Liberal and the National-Socialist era writers in exile and in their roles as post-war social critics. Shadows of the Past also puts the authors themselves in the spotlight: A «mini-reader» of hard-hitting as well as humorous narrative texts complements the literary history that begins the volume. Written by Barbara Frischmuth, Elisabeth Reichart, and Erich Wolfgang Skwara, these six texts are accompanied by helpful introductions to each author. As a further aid for English-speaking readers, the original in German literary and critical texts are translated for the first time. Shadows of the Past allows students of European culture and comparative literature to experience a dramatic century in Austrian literature and history.

Book excerpt: Visions and Visionaries is an apt title for this volume of essays on contemporary Austrian literature and film, because this collection offers insightful discussions of a gallery of significant authors and cultural figures. It also investigates important issues of style and genre, and portrays questions of Austrian identity and culture in rich contexts of recent literary and multi-media developments, cross-cultural interactions, and historical forces.

The essays are enhanced by poems by Evelyn Schlag and Gerhard Kofler.

This book was released on 1996 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zauner's A Handful of Earth describes an ambitious domineering woman who gains her financial goals but, like Brecht's Mother Courage, at the cost of her entire family; Elfriede Jelinek's President Evening Breeze, based loosely on a folk play by Johann Nestroy, the acknowledged nineteenth-century master of the form, is a political satire on the career of Kurt Waldheim, the former president of Austria; Peter Rosei's Blameless presents ordinary people as the subject of history; it shows how the media as representatives of commercial culture, popularize and often trivialize serious current issues.

Download or read book Modern Austrian Literature Through the Lens of Adaptation written by Catriona Firth and published by Rodopi. This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For decades postwar Austrian literature has been measured against and moulded into a series of generic categories and grand cultural narratives, from nostalgic 'restoration' literature of the 1950s through the socially critical 'anti-Heimat' novel to recent literary reckonings with Austria's Nazi past. Peering through the lens of film adaptation, this book rattles the generic shackles imposed by literary history and provides an entirely new critical perspective on Austrian literature. Its original methodological approach challenges the primacy of written sources in existing scholarship and uses the distortions generated by the shift in medium as a productive starting point for literary analysis. Five case studies approach canonical texts in post-war Austrian literature by Gerhard Fritsch, Franz Innerhofer, Gerhard Roth, Elfriede Jelinek, and Robert Schindel, through close readings of their cinematic adaptations, concentrating on key areas of narratological concern: plot, narrative perspective, authorship, and post-modern ontologies. Setting the texts within the historical, cultural and political discourses that define the 'Alpine Republic', this study investigates fundamental aspects of Austrian national identity, such as its Habsburg and National Socialist legacies.

Download or read book Anthology of Contemporary Austrian Folk Plays written by Veza Canetti and published by Ariadne Press (CA). This book was released on 1993 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The five plays collected in this volume provide a representative sampling of the Austrian contemporary Volksstuck (folk play). The Volksstuck which has its origins in the eighteenth century has become a favorite genre of modern Austrian playwrights because of its tradition of treating basic social problems critically and realistically. The timeless universal drives of greed, power, and inhumanity remain the dominant themes of the modern Volksstuck as they were of the older version. These Selections -- Veza Canetti, The Ogre; Peter Preses/Ulrich Becher, Our Mr. Bockerer; Peter Turrini, Swine; Felix Mitterer, No Place for Idiots; Gerald Szyszkowitz, Friedemann Puntigam -- are available in English for the first time.
