The Musical Novel
Analyzes two groups of "musical novels" -- novels that take music as a model for their construction -- including jazz novels by Toni Morrison and Michael Ondaatje, and novels based on Bach's Goldberg Variations. What is a "musical novel"? This book defines the genre as musical not primarily in terms of its content, but in its form. The musical novel crosses medial boundaries, aspiring to techniques, structures, and impressions similar tothose of music. It takes music as a model for its own construction, borrowing techniques and forms that range from immediately perceptible, essential aspects of music (rhythm, timbre, the simultaneity of multiple voices) to microstructural (jazz riffs, call a...
Arno Schmidt's Zettel's Traum: An Analysis (Studies in German Literature, Linguistics, and Culture)
Arno Schmidt (1914-1979) is considered one of the most daring and influential writers of postwar Germany; the Germanist Jeremy Adler has called him a "giant of postwar German literature." Schmidt was awarded the Fontane Prize in 1964 and the Goethe Prize in 1973, and his early fiction has been translated into English to high critical acclaim, but he is not a well-known figure in the English-speaking world, where his complex work remains at the margins of critical inquiry. Volker Langbehn's book introduces Schmidt to the English-speaking audience, with primary emphasis on his most famous novel, Zettel's Traum. One reviewer called the book an "elephantine monster" because of its unconventional...
Jacques Derrida (Routledge Revivals)
First published in 1992, this book represents the first major attempt to compile a bibliography of Derrida’s work and scholarship about his work. It attempts to be comprehensive rather than selective, listing primary and secondary works from the year of Derrida’s Master’s thesis in 1954 up until 1991, and is extensively annotated. It arranges under article type a huge number of works from scholars across numerous fields — reflecting the interdisciplinary and controversial nature of Deconstruction. The substantial introduction and annotations also make this bibliography, in part, a critical guide and as such will make a highly useful reference tool for those studying his philosophy.
Contemporary Jewish Writing
This book examines Jewish writers and intellectuals in Austria, analyzing filmic and electronic media alongside more traditional publication formats over the last 25 years. Beginning with the Waldheim affair and the rhetorical response by the three most prominent members of the survivor generation (Leon Zelman, Simon Wiesenthal and Bruno Kreisky) author Andrea Reiter sets a complicated standard for ‘who is Jewish’ and what constitutes a ‘Jewish response.’ She reformulates the concepts of religious and secular Jewish cultural expression, cutting across gender and Holocaust studies. The work proceeds to questions of enacting or performing identity, especially Jewish identity in the Austrian setting, looking at how these Jewish writers and filmmakers in Austria ‘perform’ their Jewishness not only in their public appearances and engagements but also in their works. By engaging with novels, poems, and films, this volume challenges the dominant claim that Jewish culture in Central Europe is almost exclusively borne by non-Jews and consumed by non-Jewish audiences, establishing a new counter-discourse against resurging anti-Semitism in the media.
Katachrese
Posselt unternimmt den Versuch, erstmals die Schnittstelle und das gegenseitige Bedingungsverhältnis von Figuration und Performanz sowohl in historischer als auch systematischer Weise in den Blick zu bekommen. Entwickelt wird die Fragestellung über die kritische Genealogie jenes Tropus, den die klassische Rhetorik Katachrese oder abusio nennt. Als mißbräuchliche Benennung und als uneigentliche Metapher eröffnet die Katachrese eine figurative und performative Strategie der Resignifikation und Wiedereinschreibung, die die Vorläufigkeit und Unabschließbarkeit sprachlicher Bezeichnungsprozesse unterstreicht. Ausgehend von der antiken Tropentheorie über die Sprachreflexion in der frühen Neuzeit bei Locke und Vico, die supplementäre Rhetorik Fontaniers sowie Nietzsches Genealogie bis hin zu Austins Theorie performativer Fehlschläge und Butlers Konzept einer performativen Iterabilität wird das in der abendländischen Philosophie implizierte rhetorische Wissen mit aktuellen Ansätzen poststrukturalistischer Theoriebildung enggeführt und für eine rhetorische Theorie des Performativen mobilisiert.
