The White Book

Der Autor in seinem Text
Writers of German contemporary literature are often part of their own texts: They name their protagonists after themselves and ostentatiously integrate autobiographical elements. These so-called autofictions can be attributed to postmodern sources (in particular to French 'autofictions'). But they have turned away from the highly conventionalised criticism of the literary genre of autobiography. Instead, the texts play with the effects of reception which are commonly caused by autobiographical presentations in order to comment on the public image of their writers.
Christian Kracht‘s Aesthetics
The contributions to this volume are devoted to Christian Kracht's aesthetics under two main aspects: On the one hand, with regard to sometimes irritatingly twisted actualizations of that self-reference and reservation which, since Kant, is to be evaluated as a central mode of the aesthetic; on the other hand, with regard to interferences with areas that are usually perceived as extra-aesthetic, but which can be evaluated as ferments of contemporary aesthetics: Stagings in the field of the literary establishment, the aesthetic under media and market conditions, and in the focus of canonization and criticism. Kracht's Frankfurt Poetics Lectures, which were intensively commented on by the media, form the background to this discussion.
Alicja Kwade
Few positions in art currently attract more attention than the works of the young sculptor Alicja Kwade (b. Katowice, 1979; lives and works in Berlin). They show how easy it would be to lift our construction of reality off its hinges. In her installations, objects, and photographs, experiments in philosophical thought take concrete shape, reminding us that we cannot understand everything. The texts in this book are likewise unusual: in addition to an introduction by the art historian Eveline Suter, it includes an essay by Alicja Kwade's mother, the biologist Elisabeth Kwade, about why artists are different, and the well-known furniture maker and author Rafael Horzon contributes a jester's play.
Do It Yourself
50 of the world's most exciting designers and visionary artists have devised simple objects that anyone can make at home. Do It Yourself collects 50 simple, beautiful projects by the world's best designers and artists. From lamps and tables to toys and chairs, all items can be constructed using basic tools and everyday items, making designer classics from the everyday. Each project is illustrated with full color photographs of the finished piece and all tools and materials required to make it, in addition to hand-drawn illustrations for the step-by-step instructions. Text for each object describes the design concept and gives a bio for the designer plus the price of materials and time to complete. The book features designers and artists from all over the globe and from a variety of disciplines, including Konstantin Grcic, Rafael Horzon, Hella Jongerius, Sarah Sze, and Ai Weiwei. This book offers readers affordable access to world-class design – as well as hours of fun – and will inspire young designers for years to come.

Popliteratur
Seit ihrer Renaissance in den 1990er Jahren ist die Popliteratur im Feuilleton und in den Universitäten sehr präsent. Der Band beschreibt die amerikanische Beat- und Underground-Szene sowie die Pop-Art- und Popmusik-Debatten und zeigt, wie sich diese Einflüsse in den 1960er Jahren insbesondere durch die Vermittlung von Rolf Dieter Brinkmann auf die deutschsprachige Literatur auswirkten. Umfangreiche Kapitel erläutern die Poptheorie und die Poetik der Popliteratur. Es folgen Einzelkapitel zum Werk von Rainald Goetz, Thomas Meinecke, Benjamin von Stuckrad-Barre, Christian Kracht und Sybille Berg sowie zur Popliteratur der Gegenwart.
Pop, Literatur und Autorschaft
Die vorliegende Studie untersucht die Frage, in welcher Weise das Verhältnis von Pop, Literatur und Autorschaft in Texten der jüngeren deutschsprachigen Gegenwartsliteratur gestaltet wird. Den Hintergrund bildet dabei die Annahme, dass 'Pop' mittlerweile als ein im literarischen Kontext etabliertes, wenngleich im Einzelnen höchst unterschiedlich realisiertes Konzept gelten kann. Am Beispiel der Autoren Wolfgang Welt, Rocko Schamoni und Rafael Horzon werden daher Schreibverfahren und paratextuelle Inszenierungsstrategien analysiert und auf Anschlussmöglichkeiten zu einem gattungsübergreifenden Diskurs 'Pop' hin untersucht. Dazu führt die Studie eine Reihe unterschiedlicher Diskussionsli...
