Book Synopsis The Work of Memory by : Alon Confino
Download or read book The Work of Memory written by Alon Confino and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coming to terms with a troubled past is the mark of the modern condition. But how does memory operate? This powerful collection of original essays probes this question by focusing on Germany, where historical trauma and political turbulence over the past century have deeply scarred modern memory and identity. Tracing the role of memory in German history between the Reformation and reunification, contributors show how memory has a history and the presence of the past has historical context. With scholarly zeal and keen insight, these essays draw on ghost stories and the postwar fiction of Heinrich Böll, among other memory sites, escorting the reader through the streets of Alt Hildesheim and the grocery aisles of East Germany. By historicizing memory, this volume surpasses the efforts of previous memory scholarship in confronting Germany's National Socialist past. Standard approaches to memory in modern Germany have explored how the past represents social relations and is commemorated in literature, art, and personal narrative. In taking memory "out of the museum" and "beyond the monument," The Work of Memory investigates the ways memory forms social relations and is integral to the construction of identities, communities, and policies. Profound and provocative, The Work of Memory contributes to a much-needed anthropology of memory in modern Germany.
Book Synopsis Changing Cultural Tastes by : Anthony Waine
Download or read book Changing Cultural Tastes written by Anthony Waine and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2007-12-01 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Changing Cultural Tastes offers a critical survey of the taste wars fought over the past two centuries between the intellectual establishment and the common people in Germany. It charts the uneasy relationship of high and popular culture in Germany in the modern era. The impact of National Socialism and the strong influence from Great Britain and the United States are assessed in this cultural history of a changing nation and society. The period 1920-1980 is given special prominence, and the work of significant writers and artists such as Josef von Sternberg and Bertolt Brecht, Elfriede Jelinek and Rolf Dieter Brinkmann, Erwin Piscator and Heinrich Böll, is closely analysed. Their work has reflected changing tastes and, crucially, helped to make taste more pluralistic and democratic.
Book Synopsis The Hero and Hero-Making Across Genres by : Amar Singh
Download or read book The Hero and Hero-Making Across Genres written by Amar Singh and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2021-09-30 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book critically examines how a Hero is made, sustained, and even deformed, in contemporary cultures. It brings together diverse ideas from philosophy, mythology, religion, literature, cinema, and social media to explore how heroes are constructed across genres, mediums, and traditions. The essays in this volume present fresh perspectives for readers to conceptualize the myriad possibilities the term ‘Hero’ brings with itself. They examine the making and unmaking of the heroes across literary, visual and social cultures —in religious spaces and in classical texts; in folk tales and fairy tales; in literature, as seen in Heinrich Böll’s Und Sagte Kein Einziges Wort, Thomas Brüssig’s Heroes like Us, and in movies, like Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar, Michel Gondry’s Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and in the short film like Dean Potter's When Dogs Fly. The volume also features nuanced takes on intersectional feminist representations in hero movies; masculinity in sports biopics; taking everyday heroes from the real to the reel, among others key themes. A stimulating work that explores the mechanisms that ‘manufacture’ heroes, this book will be useful for scholars and researchers of English literature, postcolonial studies, cultural studies, film studies, media studies, literary and critical theory, arts and aesthetics, political sociology and political philosophy.

Book Synopsis German Culture and the Uncomfortable Past by : Helmut Schmitz
Download or read book German Culture and the Uncomfortable Past written by Helmut Schmitz and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning with the question of the role of the past in the shaping of a contemporary identity, this volumes spans three generations of German and Austrian writers and explores changes and shifts in the aesthetics of Vergangenheitsbewältigung (coming to terms with the past). The purpose of the book is to assess contemporary German literary representations of National Socialism in a wider context of these current debates. The contributors address questions arising from a shift over the last decade, triggered by a generation change-questions of personal and national identity in Germany and Austria, and the aesthetics of memory. One of the central questions that emerges in relation to the Hitler youth generation is that of biography, as examined through Günter Grass' and Martin Walser's conflicting views on the subject of National Socialism. Other themes explored here are the conflict between the post-war generations and the contributions of that conflict to (West)-German mentality, and the growing historical distance and its influence on the aesthetics of representation.

Book Synopsis Obsolete Objects in the Literary Imagination by : Francesco Orlando
Download or read book Obsolete Objects in the Literary Imagination written by Francesco Orlando and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2008-10-01 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Translated here into English for the first time is a monumental work of literary history and criticism comparable in scope and achievement to Eric Auerbach’s Mimesis. Italian critic Francesco Orlando explores Western literature’s obsession with outmoded and nonfunctional objects (ruins, obsolete machinery, broken things, trash, etc.). Combining the insights of psychoanalysis and literary-political history, Orlando traces this obsession to a turning point in history, at the end of eighteenth-century industrialization, when the functional becomes the dominant value of Western culture. Roaming through every genre and much of the history of Western literature, the author identifies distinct categories into which obsolete images can be classified and provides myriad examples. The function of literature, he concludes, is to remind us of what we have lost and what we are losing as we rush toward the future.

Book Synopsis viens, embrassons-nous by : Ralph Günther Mohnnau
Download or read book viens, embrassons-nous written by Ralph Günther Mohnnau and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2023-12-18 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ralph Günther Mohnnau's extensive oeuvre makes him one of the most important haijin of the present day. From the wealth of his poetry, he has presented a selection of 306 haiku in three volumes on the theme of love and passion. This work is particularly important against the background of the classical Japanese haiku tradition, in which love is hardly dealt with. It is all the more indebted to Ralph Günther Mohnnau, who introduces the reader to the world of love in the classical form of a haiku with playful elegance, with a fine sense for the many facets of love and with masterly linguistic art. He has enriched Far Eastern poetry with a new dimension, all the more precious because it introduces the most human of human experiences and feelings into the three-line gems of Japanese verse.
Book Synopsis The Spiritual Geography of Modern Writing by : Constantin V. Ponomareff
Download or read book The Spiritual Geography of Modern Writing written by Constantin V. Ponomareff and published by Rodopi. This book was released on 1997 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays deals with the spiritual crisis in modern society and focusses in particular on European writers of the 19th and 20th centuries. The essays trace themes of spiritual unease, narrowing of inner human space, impoverishment of the self, growing human isolation, dehumanization, and the writers' attempts to overcome this malaise. The essays also try to show how inhuman political and social environments and feelings of cultural impasse can become mitigated and reclaimed by socially conscious acts of creative writing. Obsession, self-delusion, creative frustration and personal tragedy are seen to haunt this kind of modern writing which is at the same time infused with the writers' profound sense of moral responsibility to society and marked, on occasion, by that rare experience of Epiphany and transcendence.
Book Synopsis Sophias Verlangen by : Angela Thompson
Download or read book Sophias Verlangen written by Angela Thompson and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2012-04 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sophias Verlangen Eine deutsch-deutsche amerikanische Geschichte Sophia wird sich als kleines Madchen, umgeben von Frauen, ihrer selbst bewusst. Ihre Umwelt erlebt sie von dem Augenblick an ganz unmittelbar und wird im Nachkriegsdeutschland unter sowjetischer Besatzung Zeugin von Begebenheiten, uber die niemand spricht und die ihr niemand erklart. Es ist eine unheimliche, dustere Welt, aus der sie, alle Hindernisse beiseite schiebend, ausbricht. Die Einladung ihrer Lehrerin, den Jungen Pionieren beizutreten, ignoriert sie, ohne sich um irgendwelche Konsequenzen zu kummern. Hellhorig wird sie, als sie bemerkt, dass die Jungen eine ganz andere Sprache sprechen, mit der sich die Welt fur sie von selbst offnet, die jedoch Madchen ausschliesst und in die enge Welt der Frauen verweist. Bei Freundinnen und Freunden und in der Natur erfahrt Sophia ein ihr gemasseres, freies Leben. Von der Schule und der Gesellschaft fordert sie fur sich die gleiche Bildung und die gleichen Moglichkeiten, die bis dahin nur Jungen zustanden, und lernt darauf zu bestehen, ebenso direkt angesprochen zu werden, wie diese, und nicht nur mitgemeint zu sein. Diese Erkenntnisse reifen wahrend der Gymnasialzeit in Westdeutschland, ihren Aufenthalten in England und Wales und schliesslich in Kalifornien, wo sie sich ihren Traum erfullen kann und studiert. Vom Pazifik, dem aussersten Ende der westlichen Kultur aus, begreift sie sich und ihr geteiltes Land neu und beschreitet ganz ungeahnte Wege, was ihr letztlich ein Leben in zwei Welten beschert. Sophias Verlangen ist ein Buch, das aufzeigt, welche Krafte der Wunsch nach Selbstbehauptung in Madchen und Frauen freisetzt, die genauso gelernt werden muss wie lesen und schreiben."
Book Synopsis On the Rationality of Poetry by : Frank Finlay
Download or read book On the Rationality of Poetry written by Frank Finlay and published by BRILL. This book was released on 1996-01-01 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study explores Heinrich Böll's 'aesthetic thinking', as it is expressed in the author's disparate and voluminous writings on literature. Böll's work in this field is situated in the multi-faceted context of social, political, and cultural developments in post-war Germany, and is shown to be an important adjunct to the novels and stories which were honoured with the Nobel Prize for Literature. An understanding of Heinrich Böll's 'aesthetic thinking' can illuminate the writer's fiction in an intriguing way. In particular, Böll's defence of the 'rationality of poetry' raises issues which reverberate in continuing debates on the social validity of literature.
