Literature as Document
Literature as Document considers the relationship between documents and literary texts in Western Literature of the 1930s. More specifically, the volume deals with the notion of the “document” and its multifaceted and complex connections to literary “texts” and attempts to provide answers to the problematic nature of that relationship. In an effort to determine a possible theoretical definition, many different disciplines have been taken into account, as well as individual case studies. In order to observe dynamics and trends, the idea for this investigation was to look at literature, taking its practices, its factual-looking and concrete applications, as a point of departure – that is to say, then, starting from the literary object itself.

Works presented in the publication come from a wide variety of genres including book reviews, poetry, essays, editorials, forum discussions, academic notes, lectures, and traditional peer-reviewed academic articles. In addition, contributions by journalists, librarians, archivists, and other commentators interested in German Studies broadly conceived.

Contributors to this volume: Yvonne Delhey, Andreas Erb, Bernhard Fischer, Rüdiger Görner, Spencer Hawkins, Steffen Kaup, Selim Özdogan, Hugh Ridley, Gertrud Maria Rösch, Peter Stamm, Wim Wenders, and others.
Schriftstellerreden 1880–1938
In the period between 1880 and 1938, public speaking saw a remarkable rise in popularity among German-language writers. This study offers the first in-depth examination of this hitherto neglected phenomenon of writers' speeches, treating them as an independent genre with its own interdiscursive and media-specific characteristics. It does so by focussing on the intellectual role of writers within the Austro-German historical context. It comes with instructive statistics as well as web access to an index of over 1,400 speeches by 123 authors.
Reden über Lyrik
Wer bei Poetikvorlesungen am Katheder steht, ist gefragt und überfragt zugleich. Er soll nicht nur mit der authentischen Stimme des Autors sein Werk vortragen, sondern auch als Dozent für kreatives Schreiben, als Literaturwissenschaftler und sogar als sein eigener Interpret sprechen. Diese konfligierenden Rollenerwartungen haben bei den Vortragenden immer wieder Verweigerungshaltungen gegen das Format provoziert. In ihrem Buch zeigt Insa Braun, wie sich dieser Konflikt bei den Frankfurter Poetikvorlesungen in der Debatte um die deutsche Nachkriegslyrik zuspitzt: Autoren und Autorinnen wie Ingeborg Bachmann, Karl Krolow, Helmut Heißenbüttel, Hans Magnus Enzensberger, Peter Rühmkorf und Ernst Jandl nehmen in ihren Vorlesungen auf immer neue Weise zu der Frage Stellung, wie man auch „nach Auschwitz" noch Gedichte schreiben und über Lyrik reden kann. Mit detaillierten Analysen von ausgewählten Frankfurter Poetikvorlesungen zwischen 1959 und 1989 zeichnet das Buch nach, wie gerade der Verweigerungsgestus gegen das Format neue Inszenierungsformen lyrischer Autorschaft hervorbringt.
Modern Times. Literary Change
Modern Times. Literary Change seeks to redefine what we mean by "literature" and "history" in European modernism studies. This book develops a new functionalist approach for modern literary historiography and introduces alternative methods for dealing with European writings and their multiple mediatizations, histories and functions. Modern Times. Literary Change illustrates these new insights in chapters dealing with canonized figures (such as Robert Musil, André Breton, Man Ray and Denis de Rougemont) as well as internationally less known writers (such as Belgian avant-gardists Louis Scutenaire and Paul van Ostaijen and Italian novelist Enrico Emanuelli). For both its theoretical argument and its subtle readings this book will be of interest to all those who study European literature from the modernist period. MDRN is a research-group based at the University of Leuven (Belgium) and supervised by Jan Baetens, Sascha Bru, Dirk de Geest, David Martens and Bart Van den Bossche.
