Pathos and Anti-Pathos

Scholarship often presumes that texts written about the Shoah, either by those directly involved in it or those writing its history, must always bear witness to the affective aftermath of the event, the lingering emotional effects of suffering. Drawing on the History of Emotions and on trauma theory, this monograph offers a critical study of the ambivalent attributions and expressions of emotion and “emotionlessness” in the literature and historiography of the Shoah. It addresses three phenomena: the metaphorical discourses by which emotionality and the purported lack thereof are attributed to victims and to perpetrators; the rhetoric of affective self-control and of affective distancing...

Erzählen vom Genozid

Das 20. Jahrhundert war geprägt von Völkermorden. Die literarische Auseinandersetzung im deutschsprachigen Raum beschränkte sich dabei lange Zeit auf den nationalsozialistischen Judenmord. Anknüpfend an Ansätze der vergleichenden Genozidforschung und der literarischen Aufarbeitung der Shoah zeigt Gerald Manstetten, dass mittlerweile auch andere Genozide in den literarischen Fokus genommen werden. Am Beispiel von neun deutschsprachigen Werken weist er diese Entwicklung ebenso nach wie den noch immer starken Einfluss der Shoah auf das Schreiben über Genozide in deutscher Sprache.

Writing Emotions

After a long period of neglect, emotions have become an important topic within literary studies. This collection of essays stresses the complex link between aesthetic and non-aesthetic emotional components and discusses emotional patterns by focusing on the practice of writing as well as on the impact of such patterns on receptive processes. Readers interested in the topic will be presented with a concept of aesthetic emotions as formative both within the writing and the reading process. Essays, ranging in focus from the beginning of modern drama to digital formats and theoretical questions, examine examples from English, German, French, Russian and American literature. Contributors include Angela Locatelli, Vera Nünning, and Gesine Lenore Schiewer.

Ko-Erinnerung

Ko-Erinnerung

Die Autorinnen und Autoren dieses Bandes gehen der Frage nach, ob ob das Gedächtnis an Genozid, Verfolgung und strukturelle Gewalt zu einer Solidarität zwischen unterschiedlichen Opfergruppen beitragen kann, und welche die epistemologischen und ethischen Grenzen und Möglichkeiten einer solchen "Ko-Erinnerung" sind. Der Fokus liegt dabei auf dem neuen Shoahgedenken in einem Jahrhundert, in dem sich schon jetzt erhebliche geo- und biopolitische Änderungen ankündigen, aber auch ältere Texte werden einer Relektüre unterzogen. Dieser Sammelband enthält literaturwissenschaftliche Beiträge zu den Texten von Esther Dischereit, Norbert Gstrein, Nino Haratischwili, Edgar Hilsenrath, Yael Ronen, Vikram Seth, Vladimir Vertlib und Peter Weiss sowie thematisch fokussierte Beiträge zu Tropen, Konzepten und Diskursen der Erinnerung.
