Tatort Germany
New essays by leading scholars examining today's vibrant and innovative German crime fiction, along with its historical background. Although George Bernard Shaw quipped that "the Germans lack talent for two things: revolution and crime novels," there is a long tradition of German crime fiction; it simply hasn't aligned itself with international trends. Duringthe 1920s, German-language writers dispensed with the detective and focused instead on criminals, a trend that did not take hold in other countries until after 1945, by which time Germany had gone on to produce antidetective novels that were similarly ahead of their time. German crime fiction has thus always been a curious case; rather t...
Einladung zur Literaturwissenschaft
Dieses utb hat Studienbuchgeschichte geschrieben! Es war die erste Einführung, die in ebenso unterhaltendem wie wissenschaftlich präzisem Stil die Grundlagen der Literaturwissenschaft vorstellte. Das Themenspektrum reicht von der antiken Rhetorik und Poetik über Begründungsfragen der heutigen Literaturwissenschaft und beispielhafte Textanalysen bis hin zum Verhältnis zwischen Literatur und Neuen Medien. Zahlreiche Abbildungen, Schemata, Randerläuterungen und eine begleitende Internet-Präsenz regen zum selbstständigen Weiterlesen, Weiterdenken und Weiterforschen an. "Immer noch eine der besten Einführungen in das Studium der deutschen Literatur. Das Buch wird von vielen Professoren empfohlen und ist sehr hilfreich bei der Entscheidungsfindung vor dem Studium." (DIE ZEIT-Studienführer 2007 / 2008)
The Inability to Love
The Inability to Love borrows its title from Alexander and Margarete Mitscherlich’s 1967 landmark book The Inability to Mourn, which discussed German society’s lack of psychological reckoning with the Holocaust. Challenging that notion, Agnes Mueller turns to recently published works by prominent contemporary German, non-Jewish writers to examine whether there has been a thorough engagement with German history and memory. She focuses on literature that invokes Jews, Israel, and the Holocaust. Mueller’s aim is to shed light on pressing questions concerning German memories of the past, and on German images of Jews in Germany at a moment that s ideologically and historically fraught.
Un-Civilizing Processes?
The collapse of the supposedly ‘civilized’ German nation into the ‘barbarism’ of Hitler’s Third Reich has cast a long shadow over interpretations of German culture and society. In the remarkable work of Norbert Elias, himself a refugee from Nazi Germany, a deep concern with the distinctiveness of ‘the Germans’ is linked with an ambitious attempt to work out more general relations between broad historical processes – patterns of state formation, changing social structures – and the character of the individual self, as evidenced in changing thresholds of shame and embarrassment. In critical engagement with Elias’s notion of the ‘civilizing process’, the essays collected...

The first full-length study of the literary criticism on the works of the controversial twentieth-century German writer Hans Henny Jahnn.
Futurity
When looking at how trauma is represented in literature and the arts, we tend to focus on the weight of the past. In this book, Amir Eshel suggests that this retrospective gaze has trapped us in a search for reason in the madness of the twentieth century’s catastrophes at the expense of literature’s prospective vision. Considering several key literary works, Eshel argues in Futurity that by grappling with watershed events of modernity, these works display a future-centric engagement with the past that opens up the present to new political, cultural, and ethical possibilities—what he calls futurity. Bringing together postwar German, Israeli, and Anglo-American literature, Eshel traces a...
