Book Synopsis Thomas Bernhard's Afterlives by : Olaf Berwald
Download or read book Thomas Bernhard's Afterlives written by Olaf Berwald and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2020-10-01 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his prose fiction, memoirs, poetry, and drama, Thomas Bernhard (1931-1989)--one of the 20th century's most uniquely gifted writers--created a new and radical style, seemingly out of thin air. His books never tell a story in the received sense. Instead, he rages on the page, he rants and spews vitriol about the moral failures of his homeland, Austria, in the long amnesiac aftermath of the Second World War. Yet this furious prose, seemingly shapeless but composed with unparalleled musicality, and taxing by conventional standards, has been powerfully echoed in many writers since Bernhard's death in 1989. These explorers have found in Bernhard's singular accomplishment new paths for the expression of life and truth. Thomas Bernhard's Afterlives examines the international mobilization of Bernhard's style. Writers in Italian, German, Spanish, Hungarian, English, and French have succeeded in making Bernhard's Austrian vision an international vision. This book tells that story.

Book Synopsis Thomas Bernhard and His Grandfather Johannes Freumbichler by : Caroline Markolin
Download or read book Thomas Bernhard and His Grandfather Johannes Freumbichler written by Caroline Markolin and published by Ariadne Press (CA). This book was released on 1993 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In literary reference works Johannes Freumbichler is most often mentioned with only a few lines: born in 1881, died in 1949; regional poet; 1937 Austrian State Prize for Literature. He would probably have faded into oblivion if it were not for Thomas Bernhard's autobiographical works, in which he writes about his grandfather, the one human being of essential importance in my life and existence, and my only teacher. From Freumbichler's letters preserved in Salzburg the author has created a portrait of the man and writer.Previously, the far-reaching extent of Johannes Freumbichler's influence on his grandson Thomas Bernhard could only be deduced from Bernhard's highly stylized literary works. For the first time this book documents conclusively the biographical dimension of Bernhard's writing.

Download or read book Histrionics written by Thomas Bernhard and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1990-03-09 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although he is best known in the United States as a novelist, Austrian writer Thomas Bernhard has been hailed in Europe as one of the most significant and controversial of contemporary playwrights. George Steiner has predicted that the current era in German-language literature will be recognized as the "Bernhard period"; John Updike compares Bernhard with Kafka, Grass, Handke, and Weiss. His dark, absurdist plays can be likened to those of Beckett and Pinter, but their cultural and political concerns are distinctly Bernhard's. While Austria's recent political history lends particular credibility to Bernhard's satire, his criticisms are directed at the modern world generally; his plays grapple with questions of totalitarianism and the subjection of the individual and with notions of reality and appearance.

Book excerpt: This play is Thomas Bernhard's devastating satire on the business of literature. The novelist Moritz Meister, after years of neglect, has finally achieved the status of Grand Old Man of German literature. With breathtaking regal condescension he receives his minions: a graduate student writing a thesis on him, a journalist preparing an adulatory article, his publisher arranging the publication of his magnum opus. He regales them -- and the audience -- with noble high-flown thoughts on art and life, while exploiting his situation to the full to gain honours and material comforts.

Book Synopsis Das Theater Thomas Bernhards by : Dirk Jürgens
Download or read book Das Theater Thomas Bernhards written by Dirk Jürgens and published by Peter Lang Gmbh, Internationaler Verlag Der Wissenschaften. This book was released on 1999 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ein zweifelhafter Erfolg war dem Theater Thomas Bernhards beschieden. Ausgerechnet von seiten jener bürgerlich-intellektuellen Kreise, die ihr widersprüchliches, zwischen Machtanspruch und Existenzangst schwankendes Bewußtsein in den Bühnenfiguren widergespiegelt sahen, ernteten die Stücke den meisten Applaus. Dagegen zeichnen sie ein durchaus kritisches Bild von der fortgeschrittenen Nachkriegsgesellschaft. Weit tiefer ist diese von der Vergangenheit geprägt, als es den Anschein hat. Was bisher meist als Ausdruck der Besessenheit des Autors oder als Apologie konservativer Denkmuster bezeichnet wurde, ist eine Ästhetik des Theaters, welche beharrlich die Dialektik der Aufklärung reflektiert und aus dem geschichtlichen Prozeß die Konsequenz einer radikalen Negation zieht.

Book excerpt: Since his now famous appearance on the literary stage in 1968 novelist, playwright and poet, Peter Handke has remained on the forefront of the literary vanguard, having earned the praise and recognition of critics in Europe and North America alike. In fact, in a review essay of September 2000, The New York Review of Books called him the premier prose stylist in the German language, and one of post-war Europe's most recognisable literary figures. Since the publication of his early theatrical works, Handke has gone on to publish over twenty-five prose novels, as well as additional works for the theatre, collections of poetry, diaries and essays. His works have ranged in style from the French influenced nouveau roman of the late 1960s to works characteristic of the New Subjectivity movement in West Germany in the 1970s, while his novels and stories of the 1980s and 1990s exhibited a new-found appreciation for narrative and issues of storytelling. He has also published a series of polemical essays on the war in Yugoslavia which have been criticised severely by scholars and intellectuals. has written, as well as on the thematic aspects of his work.
Book Synopsis A Fragile Inheritance by : Saloni Mathur
Download or read book A Fragile Inheritance written by Saloni Mathur and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2019-10-22 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In A Fragile Inheritance Saloni Mathur investigates the work of two seminal figures from the global South: the New Delhi-based critic and curator Geeta Kapur and contemporary multimedia artist Vivan Sundaram. Examining their written and visual works over the past fifty years, Mathur illuminates how her protagonists’ political and aesthetic commitments intersect and foreground uncertainty, difficulty, conflict, and contradiction. This book presents new understandings of the culture and politics of decolonization and the role of non-Western aesthetic avant-gardes within the discourses of contemporary art. Through skillful interpretation of Sundaram's and Kapur’s practices, Mathur demonstrates how received notions of mainstream art history may be investigated and subjected to creative redefinition. Her scholarly methodology offers an impassioned model of critical aesthetics and advances a radical understanding of art and politics in our time.
