Product description

Von unterschiedlichen wissenschaftlichen Perspektiven ausgehend zeigen die Beiträge des Bandes, auf welche Weise in ausgewählten Texten der Gegenwartsliteratur Fragen nach der Konstruktion von Identität beantwortet werden. In diesem Zusammenhang geht es insbesondere um Figuren, die - nicht zuletzt über Erinnerungsprozesse - dem gegenwärtigen wie früheren Selbst auf die Spur zu kommen suchen. Dabei spielt auch die Frage eine Rolle, welchen Einfluss der gesellschaftliche Wandel ab 1989 auf die literarischen Figuren hat und inwiefern es zu Störungen gekommen ist. Die Beiträgerinnen und Beiträger werfen vor dem Hintergrund unterschiedlicher Forschungskulturen einen jeweils spezifischen Blick auf die deutsche Literatur und belegen einmal mehr, wie wichtig sogenannte Fremdbeobachtungen sind. Taken from various scholarly perspectives, the chapters within this volume show how hypotheses concerning the construction of identity are answered in specific narratives of contemporary literature. Within this context, particular focus is placed on figures who - not least through remembrance processes - seek to find their present as well as their former selves. In doing so, two questions are addressed: what impact did societal change have on literary figures as of 1989 and to what extent were there the occasional disruptions? The contributors, who come from entirely different cultural schools of thought, correspondingly place German literature under the microscope, demonstrating yet once more the significance of external observations.

Ob Brexit, Trump oder Querdenker - Im öffentlichen Leben beobachten wir allenthalben einen politischen Diskurs, der sich von der Unterscheidung von Wahrheit und Lüge gewissermaßen verabschiedet zu haben scheint - meint die renommierte Literaturwissenschaftlerin Nicola Gess. In ihrem Essay analysiert sie die Narrative von Fake-News am Beispiel von Ken Jebsen, Claas Relotius und Uwe Tellkamp.

Oft gehe es nicht mehr darum, ob Fakten wahr bzw beweisbar sind, die Initiatoren wollen vielmehr eine schlüssige Fiktion formulieren, die für die Zielgruppe "emotional glaubwürdig" ist. Es gehe nur noch um die Inszenierung dieses Narrativs. Sie plädiert bei der Beschäftigung mit den neuen populistischen Strömungen weniger für Faktenchecks, sondern für Fiktions-Checks, da große Teile der Zielgruppe sich von logischen Diskussionen bereits verabschiedet haben.
Erschienen in der wunderbaren Reihe "Die fröhliche Wissenschaft", in der es noch viele weitere erhellende Essays zu entdecken gilt.
Renowned science fiction writer M. John Harrison looks back on his impressive career and reflects on his life as well as his stance on literature and writing - what might sound like a fairly straightforward and possibly lacklustre endeavour ends up being the complete opposite. As Harrison is skeptical about the memoir itself (he calls his an "anti-memoir"), reading "Wish I was here" feels like finding a bunch of blurry snapshots in an old box, all out of order or context. The passages in which he lays out political ideas or describes his writing process cut through this dreamlike scenario like a knife; not only because of how precisely they are phrased, but also because of how interesting, unusual and sometimes provocative they are (in a good way). I can safely say I've never read a memoir - or a creative writing guidebook - that comes close to this one!
Jane Austen is a writer ruined by TV adaptation (before you all start writing letters, I know there are good ones). Despite two centuries of inclusion in the canon, there are still many (and I am afraid they are mostly men) who dismiss her as 'frivolous', 'saccharine' or 'unserious'. This means it is only worth continuing to discuss Austen with people if they either don't use any of the aforementioned adjectives or if, by the latter, they mean, she is one of the funniest writers in English (full stop). If you don't know this already, the first page of 'Persuasion' will convince you, and then her biting, satirical commentary on Georgian society will show you that far from reverently writing about it out of admiration, she irreverently lambasts it and its eccentric snobbish hierarchy (people who write her off will probably say John Oliver likes Trump because both wear suits). If you don't believe me (and even if you do), read her (and start with 'Persuasion') before you watch her.
