Theatre in the Berlin Republic
This work's focus is on theatre at the intersection of culture and politics during and after German reunification and the evolution of the Berlin Republic. It contains the proceedings of a symposium that took place in Melbourne in September 2006.
Tibetan Subjectivities on the Global Stage
Tibetan Subjectivities on the Global Stage: Negotiating Dispossession explores the many ways Tibetans are reimagining their cultural identity since the communist takeover of Tibet in the 1950s. Focusing on developments taking place in Tibet and the diaspora, this collection of essays addresses a wide range of issues at the heart of Tibetan modernity. From the political dynamics of the exiled community in India to the production of contemporary Tibetan literature in the PRC, the collection delves into various aspects of current significance for the Tibetan community worldwide such as the construction of Bon identity in exile, the strategic use of the discourse of development or the issue of c...
Nonconformist Writing in Nazi Germany
An innovative, critical, historically informed, yet accessible reassessment of writers who remained in Nazi Germany and Austria yet expressed nonconformity - even dissent - through their fiction.
Heresy and the Making of European Culture
Scholars and analysts seeking to illuminate the extraordinary creativity and innovation evident in European medieval cultures and their afterlives have thus far neglected the important role of religious heresy. The papers collected here - reflecting the disciplines of history, literature, theology, philosophy, economics and law - examine the intellectual and social investments characteristic of both deliberate religious dissent such as the Cathars of Languedoc, the Balkan Bogomils, the Hussites of Bohemia and those who knowingly or unknowingly bent or broke the rules, creating their own 'unofficial orthodoxies'. Attempts to understand, police and eradicate all these, through methods such as the Inquisition, required no less ingenuity. The ambivalent dynamic evident in the tensions between coercion and dissent is still recognisable and productive in the world today.
Spinoza Now
The interdisciplinary relevance of Spinoza today.
Performing Unification
Since the moment after the fall of the Berlin Wall, important German theater artists have created plays and productions about unification. Some have challenged how German history is written, while others opposed the very act of storytelling. Performing Unification examines how directors, playwrights, and theater groups including Heiner Müller, Frank Castorf, and Rimini Protokoll have represented and misrepresented the past, confronting their nation’s history and collective identity. Matt Cornish surveys German-language history plays from the Baroque period through the documentary theater movement of the 1960s to show how German identity has always been contested, then turns to performance...
The Palgrave Handbook of Holocaust Literature and Culture
The Palgrave Handbook of Holocaust Literature and Culture reflects current approaches to Holocaust literature that open up future thinking on Holocaust representation. The chapters consider diverse generational perspectives—survivor writing, second and third generation—and genres—memoirs, poetry, novels, graphic narratives, films, video-testimonies, and other forms of literary and cultural expression. In turn, these perspectives create interactions among generations, genres, temporalities, and cultural contexts. The volume also participates in the ongoing project of responding to and talking through moments of rupture and incompletion that represent an opportunity to contribute to the making of meaning through the continuation of narratives of the past. As such, the chapters in this volume pose options for reading Holocaust texts, offering openings for further discussion and exploration. The inquiring body of interpretive scholarship responding to the Shoah becomes itself a story, a narrative that materially extends our inquiry into that history.
Engagement und esoterische Kommunikation unterm Hakenkreuz
Formen nicht-nationalsozialistischer, aber zensurrelevanter und deshalb camouflierter Publikationen werden in der Literaturwissenschaft seit geraumer Zeit unter dem terminologisierten Ausdruck ‚verdeckte Schreibweise‘ diskutiert. Bislang hat sich die Forschung vornehmlich auf die produktionsästhetische Seite und das textuelle Ergebnis auktorial intendierter ‚Verdeckung‘ konzentriert. Die vorliegende Studie erweitert das Untersuchungsfeld um konkrete Praktiken und Funktionen ‚aufdeckenden Lesens‘ und bietet ein hermeneutisches Modell zur Detektion und Analyse dissidenter Kommunikation, das erlaubt, nonkonforme Schreib-, Publikations- und Lesepraktiken als zusammengehöriges Repertoire kontextsensibler und historisch spezifischer Textumgangsformen zu erfassen. An den textsortenübergreifenden Erzeugnissen des sogenannten Hochland-Kreises, der sich um das gleichnamige katholische Kulturjournal formierte, wird schließlich die Komplexität nonkonformistischer literarischer Verständigung ganz konkret an einem Fallbeispiel diskutiert und reflektiert.
