Sleepwalking
Sleepwalking is a collection of dream narratives based on dreams the author really had at night over a period of more than a year. They capture the evasive and uncanny nature of our nightly dreams, their leanings to the fantastic and the absurd. Thus they intimate the fascinating workings of consciousness, which selects elements from our daily lives and associates chains of images. With their sometimes nightmarish sometimes humorous turn the resulting tales make for an entertaining reading experience.
Team Spirit
The setting is a German university town at the turn of the millennium. Promising young researcher Teresa Rinaldi, a post-doc in sociology, struggles with anxiety about the future, while her boss, chair of sociology Jakub Feldmann, is suddenly faced with issues he has long evaded.

Towards a 'Natural' Narratology
In this ground breaking work of synthesis, Monika Fludernik combines insights from literary theory and linguistics to provide a challenging new theory of narrative. This book is both an historical survey and theoretical study, with the author drawing on an enormous range of examples from the earliest oral study to contemporary experimental fiction. She uses these examples to prove that recent literature, far from heralding the final collapse of narrative, represents the epitome of a centuries long developmental process.
Virginia Woolf and the Aesthetics of Vision
The category of vision is significant for Modernist texts as well as for the unfolding discourse of Modernism itself. Within the general Modernist fascination with the artistic and experimental possibilities of vision and perception this study looks at Virginia Woolf’s novels and her critical writings and examines the relation between visuality and aesthetics. An aesthetics of vision, as this study argues, becomes a productive principle of narrative. The visual is not only pertinent to Woolf’s processes of composition, but her works create a kind of vision that is proper to the text itself – a vision that reflects on the experience of seeing and renegotiates the relation between the reader and the text. The study investigates key dimensions of aesthetic vision. It addresses vision in the context of theories of aesthetic experience and identifies a semantics of seeing. It analyses functions of symbolic materiality in the presentation of boundaries of perception, modes of temporality and poetic potentialities. In exploring the connections between vision and language, it seeks to provide new perspectives for a reassessment of what occurs in Modernism's relation to vision.

James Joyce
Frankfurt/M., Berlin, Bern, Bruxelles, New York, Oxford, Wien. « Dublin was a strange mix of the oral and literate cultures. It is with these words that Seamus Dean describes the linguistic environment in which James Joyce grew up from his earliest years and which left its mark on the whole of his artistic work. It is the aim of this study to demonstrate the interrelationships between the oral and written language in Joyce's narrative works and to show how he indeed documented in his epiphanies fragments of the oral language of everyday Dublin, but increasingly remodelled in an experimental narrative form the whole body of oral and written language which he was able to absorb and retain in ...
Literatur und moderne Bilderfahrung
Welche Rolle spielt die Fotografie für die Romane Virginia Woolfs? Was hat Cézanne mit der englischen Literatur um 1900 zu tun? Was sieht D. H. Lawrence in seinen Bildern? Ist Roger Fry wirklich ein Formalist? Diese und andere Fragen verfolgt Karolina Jeftic in ihrem neuen Buch. Es widmet sich den Wechselbeziehungen zwischen der visuellen Kultur und der Literatur in der englischen Moderne. Am Beispiel der Bloomsbury Group wird gezeigt, wie die Kunst in einer verstärkten Auseinandersetzung mit Fragen der Visualität den Realismus überwindet.
