Download or read book Hinter den Bergen eine andere Welt written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2016-08-09 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Für die meisten Niederländer und Flamen ist Österreich in erster Linie ein beliebtes Urlaubsland, dessen Bild von den Bergen Tirols, den Wiener Lipizzanern und den vielen, vielen Heurigen geprägt ist. Dass sich hinter den Bergen eine andere Welt findet, eine überaus vielfältige und in so manchem eigenständige Literatur, ist den wenigsten bewusst. Während sich die österreichische Herkunft Thomas Bernhards und Peter Handkes schon herumgesprochen haben dürfte, verbinden – abgesehen von einem Kreise der Eingeweihten – nur die wenigsten Niederländer und Flamen Franz Werfel, Stefan Zweig, Theodor Kramer, Christoph Ransmayr und viele andere mit der 1918 aus der Donaumonarchie hervorgegangenen, 1945 ein zweites Mal gegründeten Republik. Dass die Frage nach dem spezifischen Charakter der deutschsprachigen Literatur aus Österreich im Land ihres Entstehens sehr wohl ein Thema war und ist, ist nur eines der vielen Leitmotive im vorliegenden Band über die österreichische Literatur des 20. Jahrhunderts.
Book Synopsis Shadows of the Past by : Hans H. Schulte
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 Synopsis From Kafka to Sebald by : Sabine Wilke
Download or read book From Kafka to Sebald written by Sabine Wilke and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2012-06-21 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is a response to a renewed interest in narrative form in contemporary literary studies, taking up the question of literary narratives and their encounters with modernism and postmodernism within the German-language milieu. Original essays written by scholars of German and Comparative Literature approach the issue of narrative form anew, analyzing the ways in which modernist and postmodernist German-language narratives frame and/or deconstruct historical narratives. Beginning with the German-language modernist author par excellence, Franz Kafka, the volume's essays explore the unique perspective on historical change offered by literature. The authors (Kafka, Kappacher, Goll, Bernhard, Menasse, and Wolf, among others) and works interpreted in the essays included here span the period from before World War I to the post-Holocaust, post-Wall present. Individual essays focus on modernism, postmodernism, narrative theory, and autobiography.
Book Synopsis Crime and Madness in Modern Austria by : Rebecca S. Thomas
Download or read book Crime and Madness in Modern Austria written by Rebecca S. Thomas and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2021-02-03 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays explores the changing history, rhetoric, politics and representation of crime and madness in modern Austria. From the emergence of Viennese modernism to the post-modern moment, the myths, metaphors and realities of crime and madness have unfolded in the shadow of larger cultural questions regarding cultural norms, gender, war, and national identity. Historically based contributions illuminate such diverse cultural realities as the evolution of psychiatry as medical practice, asylum practices in the early twentieth century, and Austrian participation in and responses to terror and war crimes. From these investigations proceeds the clear insight that cultural responses to crime and madness are often steeped in mythmaking as much as objective policy and practice. Conversely, literary and metaphorical representations of crime and madness reveal attitudes and cultural realities about the Austrian society that produced them and which they reflect. Specialists from the fields of Austrian history, literature and culture studies have collaborated to produce this truly interdisciplinary volume, which responses to crime and madness are often steeped in mythmaking as much as objective policy and practice. Conversely, literary and metaphorical representations of crime and madness reveal attitudes and cultural realities about the Austrian society that produced them and which they reflect.
Book Synopsis The Representation of War in German Literature by : Elisabeth Krimmer
Download or read book The Representation of War in German Literature written by Elisabeth Krimmer and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-06-10 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of literature about war is marked by a fundamental paradox: although war forms the subject of countless novels, dramas, poems, and films, it is often conceived as indescribable. Even as many writers strive towards an ideal of authenticity, they maintain that no representation can do justice to the terror and violence of war. Readings of Schiller, Kleist, Jünger, Remarque, Grass, Böll, Handke, and Jelinek reveal that stylistic and aesthetic features, gender discourses, and concepts of agency and victimization can all undermine a text's martial stance or its ostensible pacifist agenda. Spanning the period from the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars to the recent wars in Yugoslavia and Iraq, this book investigates the aesthetic, theoretical, and historical challenges that confront writers of war.

Book excerpt: andererseits is a collaborative project undertaken by students and faculties of universities in the USA (Duke and the University of Notre Dame), in Luxembourg (University of Luxembourg), and in Germany (University of Duisburg-Essen).

Book Synopsis Medieval German Voices in the 21st Century by :
Download or read book Medieval German Voices in the 21st Century written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-11-08 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As witnessed by a tremendous upsurge in medieval research, academic meetings, innovative interpretive approaches, enrolment numbers, and public interest, Medieval Studies are proving once again to be a vibrant field of investigations both inside and outside of academia. Nevertheless, there is a tendency among colleagues and administrators in the field of Germanistik/German Studies to exclude the earlier period as an exotic and irrelevant subject matter. The contributors to this volume, all of whom teach at North American universities, make a strong case for the paradigmatic function of medieval German literature for the general field of Germanistik, and argue that many of the most recent changes in our discipline related to the German Studies paradigm have been foreshadowed by Medieval Studies where interdisciplinarity, comparative approaches, the consideration of Mentalitätsgeschichte, theology, history, art history, even gender studies, and the history of everyday life have often constituted the conditio sine qua non. Some of the authors in this volume argue for the relevance of medieval German literature by investigating concrete cases taken from the Middle Ages, others show how modern German literature has been deeply influenced by medieval texts. The purpose of this volume is not to privilege medieval literature over modern literature, but instead to reclaim the premodern period as an important and relevant field of investigation within contemporary German Studies.

Book Synopsis Virtuelle und ideale Welten by : Ulrich Gehmann
Download or read book Virtuelle und ideale Welten written by Ulrich Gehmann and published by KIT Scientific Publishing. This book was released on 2012 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Technik und technischer Wandel zählen zu jenen Faktoren, die unser (all-)tägliches Leben entscheidend prägen. Dieser Sachverhalt dürfte in unserem technischen Zeitalter kaum einer besonderen Begründung bedürfen. Es liegt auf der Hand, dass die Menschheit von Technik und technischem Fortschritt abhängig geworden ist, und dies nicht erst in unserer Zeit. Seit jeher war es der Technik entwickelnde und zielgerichtet einsetzende Mensch, der vermittels ,seiner' Technik Lebensräume gestaltete, veränderte, revolutionierte, oder auch zerstörte. Unglaublicher Wohlstand auf der einen, aber auch bitterste Armut auf der anderen Seite waren dabei mögliche Konsequenzen, die der technische Wandel hervorzubringen vermochte. Die Einsicht, dass technischer Wandel als gesellschaftliches Phänomen zu interpretieren sei, uns technische Zukunftsentwürfe gerade auch gesellschaftliche Zukunftsentwürfe darstellten, vermochte sich hingegen erst langsam Bahn zu brechen.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In these eleven stories, Rohinton Mistry opens our eyes and our hearts to the rich, complex patterns of life inside Firozsha Baag, an apartment building in Bombay. Here are Jaakaylee, the ghost-seer, and Najamai, the only owner of a refrigerator in Firozsha Baag; Rustomji the Curmudgeon and Kersi, the young boy whose life threads through the book and who narrates the final story as an adult in Toronto. We see their passions, their worst fears, their betrayals, and their humorous acts of revenge. Witty and poignant, in turns, these intersecting stories create a finely textured mosaic of lives and illuminate a world poised between the old ways and the new.
