The Undiscover'd Country
W.G. Sebald (1944-2001) is the most prominent and perhaps the most enigmatic German-language writer of recent decades. His books have had a more profound impact outside the German-speaking world than those of any other. His innovative approach to writing brings to the fore concerns that are central to contemporary culture: the relationship between memory, history, and trauma; the experience of exile and our relation to place; and the role of literature (and photography) in the remembrance of the past. This collection of essays places travel at the center of Sebald's poetics and shows how his appropriation of travel in its myriad historical and cultural forms -- tourism, the pilgrimage, the w...
W. G. Sebald - Image, Archive, Modernity
W. G. Sebald is widely acknowledged as one of the most significant writers to have emerged onto the global literary scene in recent decades, and is frequently mentioned in the same breath as Nabokov, Kafka, Borges, Calvino, Proust, and Primo Levi. W. G. Sebald-Image, Archive, Modernity offers a unique and original reading of Sebald's dazzling oeuvre, arguing that his work is concerned first and foremost with the problem of modernity. It focuses in particular on the numerous archival institutions and processes that lie at the very heart of modernity and are repeatedly thematised throughout Sebald's work.Adopting a broad definition of the archive to encompass a wide range of material practices...
W.G. Sebald
This volume presents the work of internationally renowned scholars from Australia, Germany, Italy, South Africa, the UK and the US. The focus on W.G. Sebald’s writing as that of an expatriate author offers a fresh and productive approach to Sebald scholarship. In one way or another, all 28 essays in this innovative, bi-lingual collection take up the notion of Sebald’s experience as an expatriate writer: be it in the analysis of intertextual, transmedial and generic border crossings, on the “exposure to the other” and the experience of alterity, on the question of identity construction and performance, on affinities with other expatriate writers, on the recurring topics of “home”, “exile”, “dislocation” and “migration”, or on the continuing work of “memory” to work through and to preserve the consciousness of a destructive past that has informed the childhood as much as the adult life-world of the author.
Ghostwriting
Ghostwriting provides the first comprehensive analysis of the fictional prose narratives of one of contemporary Germany's most recognized authors, the émigré writer W. G. Sebald. Examining Sebald's well-known published texts in the context of largely unknown unpublished works, and informed by documents and information from Sebald's literary estate, this book offers a detailed portrait of his characteristic literary techniques and how they emerged and matured out of the practices and attitudes he represented in his profession as a literary scholar. The title “Ghostwriting” signals the convergence in Sebald's works of a set of diverse historical questions, philosophical views, and litera...
A travers les modes
Ce collectif étudie le processus de transmodalisation à l'oeuvre dans la transcription d'une fiction littéraire vers un support visuel ou audiovisuel : adaptations de romans pour l'opéra, la radio, la photographie, le cinéma. Des études de cas concernant la musique baroque, le roman médiéval et les fictions policières et fantastiques contemporaines constituent le soubassement de cette analyse.
Der Star muss sterben
Privatdetektiv Mike Moser ist ein Münchner »Gwachs«. Und er mag seinen Job und seine Stadt. Meistens. Als er aber engagiert wird, weil eine bekannte Schauspielerin während der Dreharbeiten zu ihrem neuesten Film einen Drohbrief erhalten hat, ist er wenig begeistert: Er soll als ihr Bodyguard herhalten! Andererseits - einen Kurzurlaub am bilderbuchgleichen Drehort am Starnberger See, noch dazu mit saftigem Honorar, schlägt man auch wieder nicht aus. Moser beginnt zu ermitteln und während er noch vermutet, dass das Ganze einfach ein PR-Gag ist, stolpert er über die erste Leiche. Und plötzlich steckt er drin, der Moser, in einer brisanten Jagd nach dem Täter ... »Der Star muss sterben« ist der erste Band von insgesamt vier Krimis um den Münchner Ermittler Mike Moser
German Literature as World Literature
This new collection investigates German literature in its international dimensions. While no single volume can deal comprehensively with such a vast topic, the nine contributors cover a wide historical range, with a variety of approaches and authors represented. Together, the essays begin to adumbrate the systematic nature of the relations between German national literature and world literature as these have developed through institutions, cultural networks, and individual authors. In the last two decades, discussions of world literature-literature that resonates beyond its original linguistic and cultural contexts-have come increasingly to the forefront of theoretical investigations of lite...
