Family Secrets and the Contemporary German Novel
Central to the discussions of each novel are questions of guilt, cultural identity, and atonement, and of the relocation of these ultimately unresolvable issues from the larger national and political arena to the realm of intimate relationships between parents and children."--BOOK JACKET.
Hans Magnus Enzensberger
Hans Magnus Enzensberger er en af de helt store tyske debattører og intellektuelle, der har præget tysk debat og gennem sine mange oversættelser og optrædender i Danmark også dansk debat i fire årtier. Øhrgaard udgiver sin korte intruktion til forfatterskabet i forbindelse med at HME får Sonningprisen for 2010. Hovedsynspunktet i bogen er, at Enzensberger er egensindig, dvs. at han altid følger sin egen vej uden om systemer, ideologier og filosofiske tankebygninger, men også at hans hovedindsats som forfatter er essayet - det være sig om Østeuropa før Murens fald i Åh Europa, borgerkrigene på Ballan i Udsigt til borgerkrigen eller den stærkt provokerende bog om de nye islamiske terrorister, som han kalder radikale tabere. Og lyrikken, der ofte er polemisk og diskuterer historie, videnskab osv.
Et opmaerksomt blik
Text in Danish. Per �hrgaard's ability to look attentively upon the borders of the domestic area -- the borders of our own language, our own culture, our profession and institution, all in all, our own world -- has in the course of the years been a source of inspiration to many people. In this festschrift, German and Danish humanists turn their attention to some of these borders to celebrate Per �hrgaard on the occasion of his 60th birthday the 6th February 2004. The articles cover a wide field: from translation to music, from Goethe to Grass, from Danish fiction to German history and from language to education. The festschrift thus reflects the comprehensiveness and the many facets in Per �hrgaard's own work.
The Politics of Remembrance in the Novels of Günter Grass
This manuscript argues for the importance of Günter Grass as a political thinker in addition to his status as a novelist and public intellectual, capable of forming ethical responses to contemporary issues like neoliberalism and place of the petit bourgeoisie in social life. I define Grass’s trajectory as a thinker through his novels and speeches. Primarily, I draw attention to the role memory plays in Grass’s thought: that his work represented an intellectual and aesthetic response to the role Nazism continued to play in West German politics in the post war era. To Grass, Nazism represented a resurgent threat unaddressed following the end of World War II. Later, Grass amended his concept of memory politics to address neoliberal capitalism, reiterating his radicalism and affirming the need for German society to resist the rise of extreme ideologies.
German Literature of the Eighteenth Century
The Enlightenment was based on the use of reason, common sense, and "natural law," and was paralleled by an emphasis on feelings and the emotions in religious, especially Pietist circles. Progressive thinkers in England, France, and later in Germany began to assail the absolutism of the state and the orthodoxy of the Church; in Germany the line led from Leibniz, Thomasius, and Wolff to Lessing and Kant, and eventually to the rise of an educated upper middle class. Literary developments encompassed the emergence of a national theater, literature, and a common literary language. This became possible in part because of advances in literacy and education, especially among bourgeois women, and th...
