A Bibliography of Conceptual Writing
The first ""final"" version of a never-ending project, a bibliography of conceptual literature - not just appropriation-based conceptualism, but also relatively ""rigorous"" forms of flarf, concrete poetry and so on. Like the editors of the anthology ""I'll Drown My Book: Conceptual Writing by Women"", I consider a more inclusive definition. At least in my version (and I invite other people to continue it if they can/want to), there are more than a thousand books and hundreds of authors included from different countries, nationalities, genders - as different as it is possible for now, of course. Authors are sorted alphabetically, books by the same author chronologically. More about the process and about my views on conceptualism can be found in the opening of the book.

This (sadly, b&w) version contains corrections and additions.
History, Metaphors, Fables
History, Metaphors, and Fables collects the central writings by Hans Blumenberg and covers topics such as on the philosophy of language, metaphor theory, non-conceptuality, aesthetics, politics, and literary studies. This landmark volume demonstrates Blumenberg's intellectual breadth and gives an overview of his thematic and stylistic range over four decades. Blumenberg's early philosophy of technology becomes tangible, as does his critique of linguistic perfectibility and conceptual thought, his theory of history as successive concepts of reality", his anthropology, or his studies of literature. History, Metaphors, Fables allows readers to discover a master thinker whose role in the German intellectual post-war scene can hardly be overestimated.
lost sonnets
Catherine Vidler's visual poems are experiments in symmetry, images flipped, repeated, fragmented, and transformed, liberated from their mimetic source contexts and re-presented as frenetic harmonies of shape and movement. - Ken Hunt Vidler's beautifully oblique, diagrammatic pieces remind us that poetry has always been a numbers game. Lost Sonnets is like walking through a forest of winter trees on a clear, moonless night. Up above there are no clouds, only comets and constellations. - Tom Jenks Lost Sonnets confidently places Vidler's writing next to Shakespearean, Petrarchan and Spenserian forms; here metrics and rhyme look beyond language into a visual form ranging across the map of potentiality. Soon we will all be writing Vidlerian sonnets. - Derek Beaulieu
Concrete Strategies
An exercise a day in less than 5 minutes - done with Google Docs (exceptions marked with *). These 114 exercises follow an alphabetised list of the original texts by Brian Eno and Peter Schmidt (1975ff.). The strategy noted there is applied in each case to its own textuality and mutates into a concrete poem. / 09-12.2022
Schwyz.Uri.Unterwalden.
"Schwyz. Uri. Unterwalden." is a book-length contemporary essay whose spare fragments transcend the conventions of regional literature as it invites the reader to witness a world both familiar and unexpected. The narrator, a foreigner to Switzerland, performs 21 walking trips through the founding cantons of the country in order to encounter the landscapes hidden beneath the common clichés. With each discovery of a canton, the others are cast in a new light, each chapter remapping the meanings of a mountain, a meadow, a patch of snow. Through extracts of moment by moment experience, the text becomes a self-documentary exploration which traces the contours of belonging and the insufficiency of borders which stay in one place. Zweisprachige Ausgabe Translated from the English by Beatrice Minger Mit einem Nachwort von / With an Afterword by Christian de Simoni

Renga Anger
Die Geschichte geht so: 1969 treffen sich die Dichter Octavio Paz, Jacques Roubaud, Edoardo Sanguineti und Charles Tomlinson in einem Pariser Hotelkeller und schreiben in fünf Tagen ein viersprachiges Kettenpoem. Renga - angelehnt an die japanische Gedichtform dieses Namens - übersetzen sie anschließend je einzeln. Im Renga wie in der Übersetzung geht es um Anknüpfung, um ein Weitermachen mit dem, was gegeben ist. Dabei sind die Übertragungen, die die selbst Autoren anfertigen, recht konventionell: Sie bringen das Polyglott des Kollektivgedichts schlicht wieder in die Einsprachigkeit. Hannes Bajohr schlägt eine andere Strategie vor: die Seitwärtsübersetzung - eine Weiterführung in ...
Narrative and Mental Health
Narratives surrounding mental health are intertextually and culturally embedded in a constantly evolving web of narratives, whether it is in research and treatment practices in psychology and psychiatry, the professional categorization and definition of mental health issues, people's own definitions of mental health, or medial as well as artistic representations of different mental health states. Narrative and Mental Health: Reimagining Theory and Practice investigates the nexus between narratives and mental health from an interdisciplinary perspective, offering a dialogue between psychology and psychiatry and other fields such as social work, linguistics, philosophy, literary studies, and c...
Zbinden's Progress
"...little Odyssey, a little Ulysses; the story of one day's journey, skillfully playing in tandem with another, life-long journey."
Giacomo Joyce
Faber Stories, a landmark series of individual volumes, presents masters of the short story form at work in a range of genres and styles. This heart is sore and sad. Crossed in love? The manuscript of 'Giacomo Joyce', written in James Joyce's best handwriting and folded between the covers of a school notebook, was discovered in Trieste. Most likely written in 1914, some of it served as a rehearsal for passages in Ulysses. Had Joyce meant to pillage it or publish it? Either way, this fragmented evocation of unrequited desire is, in the words of Joyce's biographer Richard Ellmann, a work of 'small, fragile, enduring perfection'. With a new introduction by Colm Tóibín.
