German Literature in a New Century
While the first decade after the fall of the Berlin wall was marked by the challenges of unification and the often difficult process of reconciling East and West German experiences, many Germans expected that the “new century” would achieve “normalization.” The essays in this volume take a closer look at Germany’s new normalcy and argue for a more nuanced picture that considers the ruptures as well as the continuities. Germany’s new generation of writers is more diverse than ever before, and their texts often not only speak of a Germany that is multicultural but also take a more playful attitude toward notions of identity. Written with an eye toward similar and dissimilar developments and traditions on both sides of the Atlantic, this volume balances overviews of significant trends in present-day cultural life with illustrative analyses of individual writers and texts.
Troubling Maternity
The question of maternity is crucial for feminists, to whom it represents both challenge and inspiration, as it is for many thinkers engaged with the issues of agency, corporeality, and ethics. This examination puts forward the idea of a 'maternal performativity', drawing on the work of Judith Butler and numerous other feminist theorists, to offer new ways of looking at 1970s and 1980s literary texts by ten German-speaking women writers, including Barbara Frischmuth, Elfriede Jelinek, Irmtraud Morgner, and Karin Struck. It argues that as yet, maternal agency has not adequately been theorized - a project which is urgent, given the traditional view in Western culture of the mother as passive -...

Germans Going Global
Germans Going Global is the first monograph in English to address in depth the interrelatedness between contemporary German literature and globalization. In an interdisciplinary framework and through detailed readings of a wide variety of texts, the study shows how the challenges globalization has posed for Germany over the last two decades have been manifested and reimagined in aesthetic production. Analyses of the literary marketplace and public debates illuminate the more material sides of this development. The study also analyzes the ways in which German-language writers born between 1955 and 1975, such as Chr. Kracht, Th. Meinecke, J. Hermann, S. Berg, F. Illies, K. Röggla, J. v. Düff...
"Superweiber" im neuen deutschen Frauenroman
Inhaltsangabe:Einleitung: "Warum lesen Sie Hera Lind, wenn Sie Literaturkritikerin sind? Lesen Sie etwas, das sich zu lesen lohnt! Ich will Ihnen etwas verraten: Ich selber lese nie solche Bücher, wie ich sie schreibe, weil das für mich totgeschlagene Zeit ist." Diese Meinung vertrat Hera Lind Anfang 1998 in einem Interview mit dem Deutschen Allgemeinen Sonntagsblatt. Die Journalistin Angelika Ohland schickte voraus, daß Literaturkritiker Probleme mit der Literatur von Hera Lind hätten und Hera Lind konterte, daß sie schließlich keine Literatur für Literaturkritiker schreibt. Die Kritiker sollten endlich aufhören in ihren Romanen mehr zu sehen, als sie sind - nämlich Unterhaltungsro...
Women Writing War
Recent scholarship has broadened definitions of war and shifted from the narrow focus on battles and power struggles to include narratives of the homefront and private sphere. To expand scholarship on textual representations of war means to shed light on the multiple theaters of war, and on the many voices who contributed to, were affected by, and/or critiqued German war efforts. Engaged women writers and artists commented on their nations' imperial and colonial ambitions and the events of the tumultuous beginning of the twentieth century. In an interdisciplinary investigation, this volume explores select female-authored, German-language texts focusing on German colonial wars and World War I...
