Berlin
"Berlin is a city forever in the process of becoming, never being, and so it lives more powerfully in the imagination." Rory Maclean, 'Berlin - Imagine a City'.Located at the epicentre of some of modern Europe's most significant and turbulent events, Berlin has long held a magnetic attraction for writers.From 19th century authors recording the city's dramatic transition from Prussian Hauptstadt to German capital after 1871 and the modernist intellectuals of the Weimar period, to the resistance writers brave enough to write during the dark years of the Nazi era and those who captured life on both sides of the divided city, a body of literature has emerged that reveals Berlin's ever-shifting i...
Poetologische Metaphern
Die Studie bietet erstmalig eine umfassende Untersuchung zur Bedeutung der Metapher in der Poetik. Als kognitiv-sprachliches Phänomen macht die Metapher den literarischen Prozess auf vielfältigste Weise vorstellbar und kommunizierbar. Unter Bezug auf die poetologischen Debatten der Antike wird verfolgt, wie deutschsprachige Autoren vom Mittelalter bis zur Gegenwart in ihren literarischen Werken und theoretischen Äußerungen topische Metaphern kreativ abwandeln, um ihrem jeweiligen Projekt Wirkung zu verschaffen. Wenn auch diachronische Entwicklungen berücksichtigt werden, so geht es vornehmlich darum, poetologische Kommunikation als Netzwerk darzustellen, bei dem Autoren zeitübergreifend auf anthropologische Konstanten und Topoi westlicher Poetik vertrauen, um gruppenbildend und traditionsstiftend ihr Projekt im jeweiligen literarischen Umfeld zu situieren. Ein ausführliches Register ermöglicht die Auffindung grundlegender Metaphern in unterschiedlichen poetologischen Kontexten.

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.

The German-Jewish Experience Revisited
In the past decades the “German-Jewish phenomenon” (Derrida) has increasingly attracted the attention of scholars from various fields: Jewish studies, intellectual history, philosophy, literary and cultural studies, critical theory. In all its complex dimensions, the post-enlightenment German-Jewish experience is overwhelmingly regarded as the most quintessential and charged meeting of Jews with the project of modernity. Perhaps for this reason, from the eighteenth century through to our own time it has been the object of intense reflection, of clashing interpretations and appropriations. In both micro and macro case-studies, this volume engages the multiple perspectives as advocated by manifold interested actors, and analyzes their uses, biases and ideological functions over time in different cultural, disciplinary and national contexts. This volume includes both historical treatments of differing German-Jewish understandings of their experience – their relations to their Judaism, general culture and to other Jews – and contemporary reflections and competing interpretations as to how to understand the overall experience of German Jewry.
An Odyssey for Our Time
In her 2007 poem cycle Niemands Frau, Barbara Köhler returns to Homer’s Odyssey, not to retell it, but to take up some of the threads it has woven into the cultural tradition of the West – and to unravel them, just as Penelope, the wife of the hero who called himself Nobody, unravelled each night the web she re-wove by day. Köhler’s return to the Odyssey takes place under the sign of a grammatical shift, from ‘er’ to ‘sie’, from the singular hero to a plurality of female voices – Nausicaa, Circe, Calypso, Ino Leucothea, Helen and Penelope herself – with implications for thinking about identity, power and knowledge, about gender and relationality, but also about the corpor...
