Auch in der deutschsprachigen Gegenwartsliteratur ist Religion in vielfältiger Weise präsent. Der vorliegende Band fragt aus literaturwissenschaftlicher und theologischer Perspektive nach den Spielarten dieser Liaison: Wovon genau handelt die Gegenwartsliteratur, wenn sie von Religion handelt? Und wie tut sie dies, in welcher Weise adaptiert sie religiöse Stoffe, Fragen, Sprachspiele? In theoretischen Beiträgen, vor allem aber in sorgfältigen Lektüren von Texten der letzten zehn Jahre, wird dokumentiert, was bereits zur These eines religious turn in der Gegenwartsliteratur Anlass gab. Diskutiert werden u. a. Werke von Lukas Bärfuss, Ulrike Draesner, Ernst Jandl, Charles Lewinsky, Sibylle Lewitscharoff, Hanns-Josef Ortheil, Friederike Mayröcker, Ralf Rothmann und Josef Winkler. Mit Beiträgen von Alfred Bodenheimer, Beatrice Eichmann-Leutenegger, Christoph Gellner, Elisabeth Grözinger, Klaas Huizing, Peter-Jakob Kelting, Georg Langenhorst, Andreas Mauz, Niklaus Peter, Adrian Portmann, Brigitte Schwens-Harrant und Philipp Stoellger, sowie Auskünften von Ulrike Draesner, Sybille Lewitscharoff, Robert Menasse und Ferdinand Schmatz.

Ulrike Draesner is a prize-winning writer of novels, short stories, critical essays and poetry, and one of the foremost authors in Germany today. While a number of volumes have been published in German on her work, the current Companion offers the first volume on Draesner in English, capitalising on the interest in her work in Germany and further afield. Introducing Draesner’s major novels and short stories, poetry collections and essays, as well as giving an overview of existing research focusing on migration, memory, science, gender and bodily experience, chapters by international scholars in this volume also break new ground by focussing on visual culture, poetology, nature, the posthuman and Draesner’s reception of English literature and medieval culture. A comprehensive bibliography, commissioned interview and original writing by Draesner make the volume a valuable research tool for scholars and students. This will become essential reading for all those interested in Draesner, women’s writing, literature and history, and contemporary German prose and poetry.
Covering the period following the collapse of communism, the unification of Germany, and Poland's accession to the EU, this collection focuses on the interdependencies of German, Polish, and Jewish collective memories and their dialogic, transnational character, showing the collective nature of postmemory and the pressures that shape it.
The multilingualism and polyphony of Jewish literary writing across the globe demands a collaborative, comparative, and interdisciplinary investigation into questions regarding methods of researching and teaching literatures. Disseminating Jewish Literatures compiles case studies that represent a broad range of epistemological and textual approaches to the curricula and research programs of literature departments in Europe, Israel, and the United States. In doing so, it promotes the integration of Jewish literatures into national philologies and the implementation of comparative, transnational approaches to the reading, teaching, and researching of literatures. Instead of a dichotomizing app...
