  • The Novel in German Since 1990 Edited by Stuart Taberner Frontmatter More Information
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-19237-8 - The Novel in German Since 1990 Edited by Stuart Taberner Frontmatter More information THE NOVEL IN GERMAN SINCE Diversity is one of the defining characteristics of contemporary German-language literature, not just in terms of the variety of authors writing in German today, but also in relation to theme, form, technique and style. However, common themes emerge: the Nazi past, transnationalism, globalisation, migration, religion and ethnicity, gender and sexuality, and identity. This book presents the novel in German since 1990 through a set of close readings both of international bestsellers (including Daniel Kehlmann’s Measuring the World and W. G. Sebald’s Austerlitz) and of less familiar, but important texts (such as Yadé Kara’s Selam Berlin). Each novel dis- cussed in the volume has been chosen on account of its aesthetic quality, its impact and its representativeness; the authors featured, among them Nobel Prize winners Günter Grass, Elfriede Jelinek and Herta Müller, demonstrate the energy and quality of contem- porary writing in German. st ua rt ta ber ner is Professor of German at the University of Leeds.

November 2006 in Berlin Meine sehr verehrten Damen und Herren, liebe Mitglieder und Freunde der Heinrich-von-Kleist-Gesellschaft, lieber Herr Wittstock, lieber Herr Beil, lieber und heute zu ehrender Herr Kehlmann, Preisverleihungen sind für den Gepriesenen manchmal schwer erträglich. Ein Grund dafür ist, dass aus ihrem Anlass allenthalben Steckbriefe angefertigt wer- den, Porträts, die Punkt, Komma, Strich, fertig ist das Angesicht, Werk und Leben erst einmal still stellen, als ob solche Feste nicht nur Moratorien vom Alltag, son- dern einen Wechsel des Aggregatszustandes bedeuteten: einen Wechsel vom Flüs- sigen ins Feste. Da könnte man also starr werden vor Glück, vor allem wenn man im Jahr 2006 gleich drei Preise hintereinander bekommt wie Sie, Herr Kehlmann, den Literaturpreis der Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung, den Heimito-von-Doderer-Preis und heute den Kleist-Preis und die ganze Zeit unter den Top 5 der ›Spiegel‹- Bestsellerliste steht.

  • Schön, Christian: Illustrierte Geschichte Der Deutschen Literatur
    Info DaF 2018; 45(2–3): 363–365 Schön, Christian: Illustrierte Geschichte der deutschen Literatur. Epochen – Autoren – Werke. Stuttgart: Metzler, 2016. – ISBN 978-3-476-02647-7. 192 Seiten. € 24,95. Besprochen von Wolfgang Braune-Steininger: Ehringshausen https://doi.org/10.1515/infodaf-2018-0056 Christian Schön legt in zwölf Epoche-Kapiteln eine kompakte, übersichtliche Geschichte der deutschen Literatur vor, bei der die beigegebenen Illustrationen und Fotos kein schmückendes Beiwerk, sondern die Textaussagen verstärkende Segmente sind. Im Einleitungskapitel Wie „deutsch“ ist die deutsche Literatur? wird grundlegend formuliert: „Keine Definition von ,deutsch‘ wird letztlich dazu dienen, einen typischen, unverwechselbaren, nationalen Charakter der deut- schen Literatur zu beschreiben.“ (8). Ebenso bemerkenswert ist die Aussage: „Wie kaum ein anderes Thema prägte die Auseinandersetzung mit Religion die deut- sche Kultur, Sprache und Literatur.“ (8). Eigentlich müsste man Schöns Buch eine Geschichte der deutschsprachigen Literatur betiteln, denn unter den präsentierten Autoren befinden sich viele, die aus dem Gebiet der Habsburger-Monarchie bzw. deren Nachfolgestaat Österreich 364 Rezensionen stammen, etwa Arthur Schnitzler, Hugo von Hofmannsthal, Rainer Maria Rilke, Karl Kraus, Robert Musil, Franz Kafka, Thomas Bernhard und Elfriede Jelinek. Hinzu kommt Gottfried Keller aus der Schweiz. Im Mittelalter-Kapitel betont Schön, dass Literatur noch kein festgefügtes Textkorpus war, sondern durch ihre für den mündlichen Vortrag intendierte Konzeption oft mehrfachen Änderungen unterlag. Aufgrund vieler Nacherzäh- lungen und Umdichtungen von Heldenerzählungen entstand keine endgültig- verbindliche Textfassung, und ein allein verantwortlicher Autor konnte nur schwer ausgemacht werden, waren doch „Aufschreibender und Urheber einer Geschichte selten eine einzige Person“ (11). Von eminent wichtiger Bedeutung für das Bild des Schriftstellers ist das Faktum: „Von einem Autor im heutigen Sinn des Wortes spricht man eigentlich erst seit dem späten 18.

    Assisted Dying in Swiss Literature: Power and Agency in Max Frisch’s Jürg Reinhart and Lukas Bärfuss’ Alices Reise in die Schweiz Sterbehilfe in der Schweizer Literatur: Macht und Handlungskompetenz in Max Frischs Jürg Reinhart und Lukas Bärfuss’ Alices Reise in die Schweiz by Derek Andrews A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo and the Universität Mannheim in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Arts in Intercultural German Studies Waterloo, Ontario, Canada / Mannheim, Germany, 2015 © Derek Andrews 2015 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract The following thesis deals with the representation of themes of assisted dying in Max Frisch’s 1933/34 novel Jürg Reinhart and Lukas Bärfuss’ 2005 play Alices Reise in die Schweiz (Alice’s Trip to Switzerland), and discusses these representations in the context of institutional power and personal agency. I argue that the prewar representation of assisted dying has changed significantly this period, in that the institutional powers at work have shifted and that portrayals of characters’ agencies have become more compelling, seeing an overall increase in narrative importance. Utilizing a post-structural theoretical framework, based primarily on work by Michel Foucault and Judith Butler, I examine the texts in terms of their presentations of assisted dying by considering the discursive frameworks within which those representations find themselves.
