Room for Maneuver
In the structuring of literary texts that refer extensively to previous texts ('intertexts'), one issue is paramount: the space accorded to the reader.
Myth in the Modern Novel
Myth in the Modern Novel: Imagining the Absolute posits a twofold thesis. First, although Modernity is regarded as an era dominated by science and rational thought, it has in fact not relinquished the hold of myth, a more "primitive" form of thought which is difficult to reconcile with modern rationality. Second, some of the most important statements as to the reconcilability of myth and Modernity are found in the work of certain prominent novelists. This book offers a close examination of the work of eleven writers from the late eighteenth century to the beginning of the twenty-first, representing German, French, American, Czech and Swedish literature. The analyses of individual novels reveal a variety of intriguing views of myth in Modernity, and offer an insight into the "modernizing" transformations myth has undergone when applied in the modern novel. The study shows the presence of the "subconscious", the mythic layer, in modern western culture and how this has been dealt with in novelistic literature.
Aesthetics and Ideology in Contemporary Literature and Drama
The conviction that the development and promotion of the arts, humanities and culture through the study of literature and the aesthetic are the fundamental constituents of any progress in society is at the heart of this volume. The essays gathered here explore the role of the imagination and aesthetic awareness in an age when the corporatization of knowledge is in the process of transforming literary studies, and political commitment is in danger of disappearing behind a supposedly post-ideological late-capitalist consensus.

The First Few Minutes of Spanish Language Films
The first few minutes of a film orient the viewer, offering cues for a richer, more nuanced reading. With this premise, the author provides many insights into the history of Spanish language film, encouraging an enhanced understanding of the Spanish/Hispanic canon commonly taught in courses on film. The author explores El espiritu de la colmena (1973), La historia oficial (1985), Fresa y chocolate (1994), El crimen del padre Amaro (2002), Abre los ojos (1997), Te doy mis ojos (2003) and Carlos Saura's flamenco trilogy--Bodas de sangre (1981), Carmen (1983) and El amor bruno (1986), among others.

Theatrale Räume
Werner Schwabs, Elfriede Jelineks und Peter Handkes Stücke sind inszenatorische Herausforderungen für das Theater. Petra Meurer führt dies mit einem innovativen Ansatz, der Drameninterpretation, Aufführungsanalyse und theaterpraktische Erfahrungen verbindet, auf die topologische Ästhetik der Texte zurück: Schwabs "Fäkaliendramen" (1991) kontrastieren die konventionelle Szenerie mit einem metaphorischen Bild-Raum, Jelineks "Ein Sportstück" (1996) schafft einen diskursiven Hör-Raum und Handkes "Die Stunde da wir nichts voneinander wußten" (1992) entwirft einen theatralen Schau-Raum.
