The Short Story in German in the Twenty-first Century
Since the 1990s, the short story has re-emerged in the German-speaking world as a vibrant literary genre, serving as a medium for both literary experimentation and popular forms. Authors like Judith Hermann and Peter Stamm have had a significant impact on German-language literary culture and, in translation, on literary culture in the UK and USA. This volume analyzes German-language short-story writing in the twenty-first century, aiming to establish a framework for further research into individual authors as well as key themes and formal concerns. An introduction discusses theories of the short-story form and literary-aesthetic questions. A combination of thematic and author-focused chapter...

The Classic Short Story, 1870-1925
The ability to construct a nuanced narrative or complex character in the constrained form of the short story has sometimes been seen as the ultimate test of an author's creativity. Yet during the time when the short story was at its most popular - the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries - even the greatest writers followed strict generic conventions that were far from subtle. This expanded and updated translation of Florence Goyet's influential La Nouvelle, 1870-1925: Description d'un genre à son apogée (Paris, 1993) is the only study to focus exclusively on this classic period across different continents. Ranging through French, English, Italian, Russian and Japanese writing - p...

Fantasy and Belief
Religion and spirituality are being transformed in our late modern and secularising times. New forms of belief proliferate, often notable for not being limited to traditional systems of reference or expression. Increasingly, these new religions present worldviews which draw directly upon popular culture - or occulture - in fiction, film, art and the internet. Fantasy and Belief explores the context and implications of these types of beliefs through the example of the Otherkin community. The Otherkin are a loosely-affiliated group who believe themselves to be in some way more than just human, their non-humanity often rooted in the characters and narratives of popular fantasy and science fiction. Challenging much current sociological thinking about spirituality and consumption, Fantasy and Belief reveals how popular occulture operates to recycle, develop, and disseminate metaphysical ideas, and how the popular and the sacred are combining in new ways in today's world.
Zwischen Mensch und Pflanze
Fiktionale Hybriden aus Mensch und Pflanze sind Denkfiguren: In Text und Bild fordern sie dazu auf, Vorstellungen von Subjekt, Kollektiv und Spezies neu zu denken. Statt Pflanzen auf ihr symbolisches Potenzial zu reduzieren, stehen sie in dieser Studie als Organismen und literarische Akteure im Fokus. Sie adressieren mit ihrer radikalen Alterität zum Menschen gesellschaftliche Probleme und stellen alternative Lebensentwürfe vor. Orientiert am Forschungsparadigma der Plant Studies und unter Bezugnahme auf botanische Wissensdiskurse widmet sich das Buch pflanzlich-menschlicher Hybridität in literarischen und grafischen Texten. Sowohl um 1900 als auch nach 2000 stellen Mensch-Pflanzen-Hybrid...
