Reception Theory
First published in 2002. Modes and categories inherited from the past no longer seem to fit the reality experienced by a new generation. ‘New Accents’ is intended as a positive response to the initiative offered by such a situation. Each volume in the series will seek to encourage rather than resist the process of change, to stretch rather than reinforce the boundaries that currently define literature and its academic study. Reception theory is a term that is likely to sound strange to speakers of English who have not encountered it previously. In the largest sense it is a reaction to social, intellectual, and literary developments in West Germany during the late 1960s.
Handlungs- und produktionsorientierter Unterricht: Eine schülerzentrierte Alternative
Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2003 im Fachbereich Deutsch - Pädagogik, Didaktik, Sprachwissenschaft, Note: 1, Bayerische Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg (Philosophisches Institut II), Veranstaltung: Epochenbilder im Deutschunterricht, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Was ist eigentlich unter handlungs- und produktionsorientiertem Literaturunterricht zu verstehen? Die Idee des Handelns impliziert aktives Tätigsein im Hinblick auf ein bestimmtes Ziel. Dazu kommt die zweite Komponente, nämlich die Produktion. Das bezieht sich darauf, dass die Schüler nicht nur nachvollziehen und nachbilden, sondern gleichzeitig eigene Texte schaffen und selbst kreativ gestalten. In der Produktion von neue...
Rituals of Self-Revelation
Irmela Hijiya-Kirschnereit brings a sophisticated and graceful method of analysis to this English translation of her book on the shishōsetsu, one of the most important yet misunderstood genres in Japanese literature. Thorough and insightful, this study of the Japanese version of the “I-novel” provides a means of researching and interpreting the tradition of the genre, linking it to forms of autobiographical fiction as well as to cultural assumptions of the classical period of Japanese history. Hijiya-Kirschnereit provides a model of systematic inquiry into literary traditions that will stimulate American and English Japanologists, providing a much-needed bridge between German Japanologists and the rest of the field.
Repopulating the Eighteenth Century
In essays that examine particular non-canonical works and writers in their wider cultural context, this volume "repopulates" the German Enlightenment.
Detectives, Dystopias, and Poplit
The first broad treatment of German genre fiction, containing innovative new essays on a variety of genres and foregrounding concerns of gender, environmentalism, and memory. Some of the most exciting research and teaching in the field of German Studies is being done on "genre fiction," including detective fiction, science fiction, and what is often called "poplit," to name but a few. Such non-canonical literature has long been marginalized by the German tradition of Bildung and the disciplinary practice of German literary studies (Germanistik). Even today, when the examination of non-canonical texts is well established and uncontroversial in other academic contexts, such texts remain unders...
Durrenmatt
Dürrenmatt's apparently conflicting statements about his central concerns have baffled scholars attempting to interpret his works. In his critical approach to Dürrenmatt, Timo Tiusanen emphasizes the author's relation to the theater, and analyzes the thirteen original stage plays, eight radio plays, and five adaptations, using the special concept of "scenic image" developed in an earlier study of O'Neill. Four books by Dürrenmatt on the theater and politics are related to the dramatist's creative practice, and his six books of prose are also carefully considered. Exploring the writer's career to reconcile conflicting attitudes that have been taken toward his work, Timo Tiusanen sees Dürr...
On Their Own Terms
On Their Own Terms is a study of how post-1990 German literature reconfigures the legacy of National Socialism and the Holocaust. In five sections - Historisation, Perpetrators, Hitler-Youth Memories, War Memories and Victim Perspective - a number of key literary works such as Bernhard Schlink's Der Vorleser, Martin Walser's Ein springender Brunnen, Gunter Grass's Im Krebsgang and W. G. Sebald's Austerlitz are analysed. The literary texts are situated within the wider context of contemporary German debates on the issue, from the exhibition 'Crimes of the German Wehrmacht 1941-1945', to the Walser-Bubis-affair and the ensuing debate about representations of German suffering. One of the central concerns of this book is the literary configuration of German experience and the narrative strategies employed by the writers to validate it against or set it in context with a perspective of victim experience.
The Architecture of Babel
Today, the humanities seem severed from the sciences. Writers, artists and the ordinary thinking citizen cannot readily understand the sciences that have reshaped modern life. Scientists in turn, find critical theory difficult and elusive.
