Myth as Symbol
The mythological patrimony is an excellent example of the unconscious creative ability that brings reason both to the existence of myth as well as to its symbolic function. Reconsidering the connection between literature and psychoanalysis, this study starts from the Jungian archetypal theory up to the Freudian unconscious and its ability to produce symbols, and provides the tools for a reading of the phenomenon of the literary reworking, in the modern age, of meaningful themes and mythological figures. Therefore, revising and rewriting the myth means thinking again about one’s cultural memory, attempting to re-propose in a new dimension the ever present questions that have not found an an...

Animals and Humans in German Literature, 1800-2000
The recent emergence of the discipline of literary animal studies regards literature in itself as constitutive element of a history of knowledge. The discipline has led not only to the expansion of the corpus of texts traditionally connected with animals, but also established new concepts and methods for revising conventional cultural dichotomies (subject and object, human and animal). The 10 essays collected in this volume are devoted to a wide range of case studies on the relationship between animality and poetics in German-language literature since the 19th century. They display a variety of theoretical and methodological approaches to a number of texts packed with references to animals, considered not primarily as objects of literature, but as agents endowed with an active role in the production of literature, and which have left repressed or forgotten traces in texts.

Schreiben im Widerspruch
Ist Zusammengehörigkeit auf Worte angewiesen? Bedeutet ein,Mehr' an Sprachigkeit zugleich ein ,Mehr' an Zugehörigkeit? Diese Studie fragt nach der Bedeutung des Sprechens und Schreibens für die Mitteilung und den Vollzug von Gefühlen der Zugehörigkeit. In Auseinandersetzung mit dem Werk zweier literarischer Gegenwartsautorinnen, Herta Müller und Ilma Rakusa, entwickelt sie das affektpoetologische Programm eines Schreibens im Wi(e)derspruch, das literaturwissenschaftliche Verfahren erstmalig mit Ansätzen der sozialwissenschaftlich grundierten Zugehörigkeitsforschung verbindet und sich an ein interdisziplinär aufgeschlossenes Lesepublikum richtet. Marion Acker zeigt, dass Zugehörigkeit eine vielgestaltige Herausforderung ist, die im Schreiben der beiden Autorinnen immer wieder aufs Neue aufgenommen wird und das Potenzial besitzt, normative Annahmen zu hinterfragen.
