German economic crises from the past two hundred years have provoked diverse responses from journalists, politicians, scholars, and fiction writers. Among their responses, storylines have developed as proposals for reducing unemployment, improving workplace conditions, and increasing profitability when stock markets tumble, accompanied by inflation, deflation, and overwhelming debt. The contributors to Invested Narratives assess German-language economic crisis narratives from the interdisciplinary perspectives of finance, economics, political science, sociology, history, literature, and cultural studies. They interpret the ways German society has tried to comprehend, recover from, and avoid economic crises and in doing so widen our understanding of German economic debates and their influence on German society and the European Union.

Dieser Band lotet das komplexe und dynamische, von Konkurrenz und Kooperation bewegte Verhältnis zwischen Literatur und Film aus. Die vertrackte Beziehung der beiden führenden Erzählmedien des 20. und 21. Jahrhundert, deren Potential sich nie nur im Narrativ-Dramatischen erschöpfte, bildete eine zentrale Herausforderung für einen Großteil der kulturwissenschaftlichen Theorieentwürfe vom Strukturalismus bis zur Intermedialitätsforschung. Sie prägte sich in Diskurs- und Praxisfeldern aus, die wie die literarische Filmreflexion und die filmische Adaption von Literatur wichtige Teile der modernen Kultur bestimmten. Sie begann in der Literatur noch bevor das Filmmedium technisch realisiert wurde (Précinéma) und nahm vom Stummfilm über den Tonfilm bis zur Autorenbewegung und zum Siegeszug des Fernsehens, auch entlang der Teilung zwischen BRD und DDR, unterschiedlichste Formen an, in denen mediale und soziale Bedingungen einander stets überlagerten und die zuletzt in das Archiv und die Formate des Internets eingegangen sind. Der Band verfolgt die Konfiguration zwischen Literatur und Film als einen Leitfaden durch die Mediengeschichte der letzten 120 Jahre.

Das Themenheft der Zeitschrift für interkulturelle Germanistik, herausgegeben von Iulia-Karin Patrut, ist Poetiken des Übergangs gewidmet: Identitäten bilden seit der Antike den Stoff zahlreicher Texte. Die Erfahrung von Alterität und Nicht-Wissen wird in der Literatur an Begegnungsszenen, an Reise und Migration gebunden, die der Infragestellung des Eigenen oder aber der Selbstvergewisserung dienen können. Übergänge sind jedoch nicht nur ein Thema, sondern auch eine strukturbildende, poetische Qualität von Literatur. Von ihr gehen unterschätzte gesellschafts- und kulturpolitische Potenziale aus. Das Themenheft versammelt Aufsätze von Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftlern aus Afrika, Asien, Südamerika und Europa, die sich exemplarisch oder systematisch mit Poetiken des Übergangs, mit transnationalem und interkulturellem Austausch befassen.

This volume approaches literary representations of post and neocolonialism by combining their readings with respective theoretical configurations. The aim is to cast light upon common characteristics of contemporary texts from around the world that deal with processes of colonization. Based on the epistemic discourses of postimperialism/postcolonialism, globalization, and world literature, the volume’s chapters bring together international scholars from various disciplines in the Humanities, including Comparative Cultural Studies, Slavic, Romance, German, and African Studies. The main concern of the contributions is to conceptualize an autonomous category of a world literature of the colonial, going well beyond established classifications according to single languages or center-periphery dichotomies.

We Never Sleep written by Kathrin Röggla and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2009 with Fiction categories.
In this masterfully constructed docu-novel Kathrin Röggla ventures into the dysfunctional, self-contained and self-destructive universe of a New Economy trade convention. Here, the horizon of human potential for feeling, experience, and identity is limited by the language and logic of business models. Through a hypnotically rhythmic sequencing of polyphonic dialogs, this explosive novel reveals how the models of efficiency and performance used to quantify business success turn destructive when used to measure human worth, evaluate human experience. Through the conversations of six representative figures, the IT supporter, the online editor, the senior associate, the key account manager, the partner and the intern, the reader is led deeper into the psychological desert of a labour force that has internalised values inimical to both its individual and collective survival. The pressure to perform is driven by the pace of the twenty-four hour work cycle and the frenzied competition motivated by the first signs of collapse and panic in the New Economy boom. Going days without sleep is a point of honour. There is no quitting time. The novel is both a darkly comedic and deeply disturbing view of the work world in the digital age.

Domestic Disputes is the first monograph in German studies to offer a critical examination of the home ownership crisis in the former East Germany that resulted from unification policy, taking as its focus news media, made-for-television movies, cinematic releases, and prose fiction that depict property disputes between former East and West Germans. In the cultural productions discussed in this book, anxieties about social disenfranchisement through unification policy are dramatized in narratives in which Westerners acquire, or attempt to acquire, property in the former East Germany. Each chapter addresses a different type of narrative that has emerged to frame those anxieties, including those of neocolonial Western takeover, the engagement with difficult family histories, masculinity crises in the West, and the corporatization of home. Domestic Disputes is the first book-length study to outline the way in which homes were awarded to individuals and families as the former East Germany privatized and to offer in-depth examinations of the narratives that emerged from that social phenomenon.

Germans Going Global is the first monograph in English to address in depth the interrelatedness between contemporary German literature and globalization. In an interdisciplinary framework and through detailed readings of a wide variety of texts, the study shows how the challenges globalization has posed for Germany over the last two decades have been manifested and reimagined in aesthetic production. Analyses of the literary marketplace and public debates illuminate the more material sides of this development. The study also analyzes the ways in which German-language writers born between 1955 and 1975, such as Chr. Kracht, Th. Meinecke, J. Hermann, S. Berg, F. Illies, K. Röggla, J. v. Düffel, and G. Hens, respond to the pressures of globalizing factors, and how these have influenced notions of authorship and literary aesthetics. It shows how narratives dealing with the neoliberal work world, global travel, and the aftermath of 09/11 implicitly comment on contemporary debates on globalization, its socio-economic nature, and the impact for local culture. By presenting a literary history of the present, Germans Going Global deepens the reader’s understanding of contemporary Germany and its cultural production.

Traditions and Transitions: Curricula for German Studies is a collection of essays by Canadian and international scholars on the topic of why and how the curriculum for post-secondary German studies should evolve. Its twenty chapters, written by international experts in the field of German as a foreign or second language, explore new perspectives on and orientations in the curriculum. In light of shifts in the linguistic and intercultural needs of today’s global citizens, these scholars in German studies question the foundations and motivations of common curriculum goals, traditional program content, standard syllabus design, and long-standing classroom practice. Several chapters draw on a range of contemporary theories—from critical applied linguistics, second-language acquisition, curriculum theory, and cultural studies—to propose and encourage new curriculum thinking and reflective practice related to the translingual and cross-cultural subjectivities of speakers, learners, and teachers of German. Other chapters describe and analyze specific examples of emerging trends in curriculum practice for learners as users of German. This volume will be invaluable to university and college faculty working in the discipline of German studies as well as in other modern languages and second-language education in general. Its combination of theoretical and descriptive explorations will help readers develop a critical awareness and understanding of curriculum for teaching German and to implement new approaches in the interests of their students.
