Die Studie widmet sich signifikanten Veränderungen innerhalb des literarischen Feldes zum Erzählgegenstand Jugoslawien: Zwischen der Veröffentlichung von Peter Handkes Winterlicher Reise (1996) und Saša Stanišićs Erzählwerk Herkunft (2019) ist eine diskursive Verschiebung von ‚fremden‘, externen Perspektiven auf den (post-)jugoslawischen Kulturraum zu autobiographischen Erzähltexten zu beobachten, was sich besonders gut an der Handke-Nobelpreis-Debatte im Jahr 2019 erkennen lässt. Den Untersuchungsgegenstand der Studie bilden Erzähltexte, die auf eigenen oder familiären Erfahrungen von Flucht und Migration dreier Autor:innen aufbauen: Saša Stanišić, Jagoda Marinić und Mark...
Originally published in 1985, Liberated Cinema: The Yugoslav Experience received the first annual "Close-up" award from the Yugoslav Film Institute in 1986 for "outstanding scholarship and for promoting the values of Yugoslav film art internationally." This new edition has been revised and updated throughout. It has been expanded to complete the story of the new Yugoslav cinema of the 1980s and to address major film developments that have taken place in the former Yugoslavia's five successor states. As in his analysis of past periods of Yugoslav cinema, Goulding situates the most recent developments within the context of film economics, state subsidies, and changing patterns of political control. Most significantly, however, he provides an insightful discussion of the ways in which critically important domestic feature films produced or co-produced from 1991 to 2001 reflect on recent brutal internecine warfare and other contemporary social, cultural, and political realities after the breakup of Yugoslavia.

Das 20. Jahrhundert war geprägt von Völkermorden. Die literarische Auseinandersetzung im deutschsprachigen Raum beschränkte sich dabei lange Zeit auf den nationalsozialistischen Judenmord. Anknüpfend an Ansätze der vergleichenden Genozidforschung und der literarischen Aufarbeitung der Shoah zeigt Gerald Manstetten, dass mittlerweile auch andere Genozide in den literarischen Fokus genommen werden. Am Beispiel von neun deutschsprachigen Werken weist er diese Entwicklung ebenso nach wie den noch immer starken Einfluss der Shoah auf das Schreiben über Genozide in deutscher Sprache.
