Explodes the conventional wisdom that there was a taboo on the topic of flight and expulsion in East Germany.
In the 1960s and 1970s in the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG), or West Germany, newspaper readers and television viewers were appalled by terrible images of fires burning half a world away. The Vietnam War was a decisive catalyst for the era’s wider protest movements and gave rise to an ardent anti-war discourse. This discourse privileged writing in many forms. Within it, poetry and poetic writing were key; and because coverage of the conflict in Vietnam often focused on spectacular, destructive conflagrations ignited by hi-tech machines of war, their dominant trope was fire.

This book offers a bold new view of the way in which modernist fiction, painting, music, and poetry are interlinked. Dowden shows that modernism, contrary to a longstanding view, did not turn away from mimesis. Rather, modernism operates according to a deepened understanding of what mimesis is and how it works, which in turn occasions a fresh look at other related dimensions of the modernist achievement. Modernism is neither “difficult” nor elitist. Instead, it trends toward simplicity, directness, and common culture. Dowden argues that naïveté rather than highbrow sophistication was for the modernists a key artistic principle. He demonstrates that modernism, far from glorifying subjective creativity, directs itself toward healing the split between subject and object. Mimesis closes this gap by resolving representation into play and festivity.

Literaturpreise sind besonders sensible Seismographen für literaturpolitische Entwicklungen. Vor allem läßt sich an ihnen studieren, wie der Anspruch der Preise durch die Vergabepraxis immer wieder dementiert wird. Dieser Band untersucht zentrale Beispiele von Literaturpreisen, die während des Nationalsozialismus und in der unmittelbaren Nachkriegszeit in der Region Rheinland/Westfalen vergeben wurden. Die Beiträge von Jan-Pieter Barbian, Gertrude Cepl-Kaufmann, Sigrid Dammbacher, Karl Ditt, Walter Gödden, Werner Jung, Bernd Kortländer, Dietmar Lieser und Inge Sauer ziehen in exemplarischen Fallstudien die Kontinuitätslinien nach, die aus den dreißiger bis in die sechziger Jahre reichen. Ein Verzeichnis der Literaturpreise, die 1946-68 im Bundesland Nordrhein-Westfalen vergeben wurden, rundet den Band ab.
