Описание: 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, Schnitzler, 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.

Описание:

Ghostwriting provides the first comprehensive analysis of the fictional prose narratives of one of contemporary Germany's most recognized authors, the migr writer W. G. Sebald. Examining Sebald's well-known published texts in the context of largely unknown unpublished works, and informed by documents and information from Sebald's literary estate, this book offers a detailed portrait of his characteristic literary techniques and how they emerged and matured out of the practices and attitudes he represented in his profession as a literary scholar.

The title "Ghostwriting" signals the convergence in Sebald's works of a set of diverse historical questions, philosophical views, and literary practices. Many historical ghosts haunt Sebald's narratives on the level of story. Moreover, Sebald's narrator plays the role of a ghostwriter in the profound sense that his stories fictionally re-enact the histories of obscure, but once-living individuals whose lives they revitalize, and whose fates are tied up with the most virulent historical conjunctures of the modern world. This study thus seeks to comprehend the constitutive elements of Sebald's "poetics of history," his implementation of literary tools for effective historical memorializing.

Описание: This book offers a new critical perspective on the perpetual problem of literature's relationship to reality and in particular on the sustained tension between literature and historiography. The scholarly and literary works of W.G. Sebald (1944–2001) serve as striking examples for this discussion, for the way in which they demonstrate the emergence of a new hybrid discourse of literature as historiography. This book critically reconsiders the claims and aims of historiography by re-evaluating core questions of the literary discourse and by assessing the ethical imperative of literature in the 20th and 21st centuries. Guided by an inherently interdisciplinary framework, this book elucidates the interplay of epistemological, aesthetic, and ethical concerns that define Sebald's criticism and fiction. Appropriate to the way in which Sebald's works challenge us to rethink the boundaries between discourses, genres, disciplines, and media, this work proceeds in a methodologically non-dogmatic way, drawing on hermeneutics, semiotics, narratology, and discourse theory. In addition to contextualizing Sebald within postwar literature in German, the book is the first English-language study to consider Sebald's ?uvre as a whole. Of interest for Sebald experts and enthusiasts, literary scholars and historians concerned with the problematic of representing the past.

Описание: While there are publications on Wittgenstein’s interest in Dostoevsky’s novels and the recurring mentions of Wittgenstein in Sebald’s works, there has been no systematic scholarship on the relation between perception (such as showing and pictures) and the problem of an adequate presentation of interiority (such as intentions or pain) for these three thinkers.This relation is important in Wittgenstein’s treatment of the subject and in his private language argument, but it is also an often overlooked motif in both Dostoevsky’s and Sebald’s works. Dostoevsky’s depiction of mindset discrepancies in a rapidly modernizing Russia can be analyzed interms of multi-aspectivity. The theatricality of his characters demonstrates especially well Wittgenstein’s account of interiority's interrelatedness with overt public practices and codes. In Sebald’s Austerlitz, Wittgenstein’s notion of family resemblances is an aesthetic strategy within the novel. Visual tropes are most obviously present in Sebald's use of photography, and can partially be read as an ethical-aesthetic imperative of rendering pain visible. Tea Lobo's book contributes towards a non-Cartesian account of literary presentations of inner life based on Wittgenstein's thought.

Описание: Die Sekundдrliteratur ьber W.G. Sebald hat in erstaunlicher Schnelle nahezu unьberschaubare Ausma e angenommen. Allerdings bearbeitet der ьberwiegende Teil der Publikationen einen begrenzten Kreis an Themen, die man auf den Komplex Trauma-Holocaust-Intermedialitдt-Erinnerung-Melancholie reduzieren kann. Zumeist steht dabei der Roman Austerlitz im Fokus der Aufmerksamkeit, wдhrend - neben den anderen Prosabдnden - ganze Werkbereiche vernachlдssigt werden. Dazu zдhlen das Frьhwerk und die Lyrik, aber auch das beachtliche Korpus literaturkritischer Schriften, sowie die weitgehend unbekannten szenischen Texte Sebalds. Angesichts dieser ungenьgenden Lage fokussiert Ьber Sebald gezielt auf solche Themen und Texte, die bisher ignoriert oder nicht wirklich in ihrer grundlegenden Bedeutung fьr ein differenzierteres Verstдndnis dieses zwischen Literaturwissenschaft und Literatur, Deutschland und England, Verehrung und Ablehnung situierten Autors erkannt wurden. Bei den Beitrдgern dieses zweisprachigen Bandes handelt es sich zumeist um internationale Sebald-Experten und Nachwuchsforscher sowie Privatgelehrte, die au erhalb des Wissenschaftsbetriebs stehen. Persцnliche Erinnerungen von Sebalds Doktoranden runden den Band ab, der das bisher bekannte Bild dieses Schlьsselautors der Literatur des spдten zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts wesentlich erweitert und ьber das gelдufige Bild hinaus vertieft.

Описание: W.G. Sebalds Nach der Natur. Ein Elementargedicht wurde 1988 mit sechs schwarz-wei Fotografien des M nchener K nstlers Thomas Becker publiziert. Erst Sebalds sp tere Werke Schwindel. Gef hle (1990), Die Ausgewanderten. Vier lange Erz hlungen (1992), Die Ringe des Saturn. Eine englische Wallfahrt (1995) und Austerlitz (2001) erregten die Aufmerksamkeit der kritischen ffentlichkeit. Jedoch handelt es sich bei Nach der Natur - im handwerklichsten Sinne - um das Meisterst ck des Autors.
Dieses Buch setzt sich in einer konkreten und textnahen Betrachtung mit dem Gedicht Nach der Natur auseinander. Im speziellen hat es sich diese Arbeit zur Aufgabe gemacht, die unz hligen - teils versteckten, teils offensichtlichen - Hinweise, die Sebald in das Gedicht eingebaut hat, literarisch einzuordnen und zu erl utern. Die Analyse folgt dabei der Chronologie des Gedichts. Zus tzlich sind die sechs Bilder von Thomas Becker, die Teil der urspr nglichen Publikation von Nach der Naturwaren, hier reproduziert.

Описание: Katherine Snyder`s study explores the significance of the bachelor narrator, a prevalent but little-recognised figure in premodernist and modernist fiction by male authors, including Hawthorne, James, Conrad, Ford and Fitzgerald. Snyder demonstrates that bachelors functioned in literary discourse as threshold figures who highlighted the limits of conventional masculinity.
