Zu Besuch bei Zsuzsa Bánk und Peter Härtling
Mehr als eine Generation trennt die Schriftstellerin Zsuzsa Bánk und den Schriftsteller Peter Härtling voneinander. Und doch verbindet sie eine ganze Menge miteinander. Nicht nur, dass sie in Frankfurt am Main und er sozusagen in einem Vorort von Frankfurt leben. Peter Härtling wurde während seiner Kindheit und Jugend immer wieder aus seinem Lebensumfeld vertrieben, so dass für ihn das Thema Wanderschaft zur prägenden Metapher seiner Dichtung wurde. In seinem umfangreichen Werk bestimmen von Anfang an wiederkehrende Themen - Weg, Fahrt, Ferne, Verwandlung, Vergänglichkeit, Verbannung, Verlorenheit - sowohl seine Gedichte als auch seine Romane. Zsuzsa Bánk wurde in Deutschland geboren, erlebte aber als Kind geflüchteter Ungarn, die nach dem ungarischen Volksaufstand 1956 nach Deutschland gekommen waren, auch, was der Verlust der Heimat für Menschen bedeuten kann. Was Vertreibung, Flucht, Integration in einem zunächst fremden Land betrifft, haben beide erfahren und machen es zum Thema ihrer Bücher. Insofern ist die Beschäftigung mit ihnen - abgesehen von anderen Aspekten innerhalb ihres jeweiligen Werkes - hochaktuell.

Politics of the Self
Richard McCormick examines the concepts of postmodernity and postmodernism as they apply to West Germany, discussing them against the background of cultural and political upheaval in that country since the 1960s, rather than exclusively in the more familiar setting of intellectual history. Considering six literary and cinematic texts that are marked by a preoccupation with the self and subjectivity, he underscores the crucial influence of feminism on writers and filmmakers--and on the "postmodern." In a broad international context he describes the conflicting forces that affected the West German student movementthe rationalistic tradition of the Weimar Left and more "irrational" influences s...
The Reception of Grimms' Fairy Tales
"The essays address the reception of the Grimms' texts by their readers; the dynamics between Grimms' collection and its earliest audiences; and aspects of the literary, philosophical, creative, and oral reception of the tales, illuminating how writers, philosophers, artists, and storytellers have responded to, reacted to, and revised the stories, thus shedding light on the ways in which past and contemporary transmitters of culture have understood and passed on the Grimms' tales."--BOOK JACKET.
