Download or read book The Short Story in German in the Twenty first Century written by Lyn Marven and published by Boydell & Brewer. This book was released on 2020 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1990s, the short story has re-emerged in the German-speaking world as a vibrant literary genre, serving as a medium for both literary experimentation and popular forms. Authors like Judith Hermann and Peter Stamm have had a significant impact on German-language literary culture and, in translation, on literary culture in the UK and USA. This volume analyzes German-language short-story writing in the twenty-first century, aiming to establish a framework for further research into individual authors as well as key themes and formal concerns. An introduction discusses theories of the short-story form and literary-aesthetic questions. A combination of thematic and author-focused chapters then discuss key developments in the contemporary German-language context, examining performance and performativity, Berlin and crime stories, and the openendness, fragmentation, liminality, and formal experimentations that characterize short stories in the twenty-first century. Together the chapters present the rich field of short-story writing in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, offering a variety of theoretical approaches to individual stories and collections, as well as exploring connections with storytelling, modernist short prose, and the novella. The volume concludes with a survey of broad trends, and three original translations exemplifying the breadth of contemporary German-language short-story writing.

Download or read book Continuum 2 written by Alessandro De Francesco and published by punctum books. This book was released on 2024-03-07 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume gathers Alessandro De Francesco's essays and theoretical writings produced from 2015 to 2022. It follows the first volume Continuum: Writings on Poetry as Artistic Practice, reuniting essays written between 2007 and 2015. The title of this new volume could only be Continuum 2, given that the underlying concept remains the same: to testify to the seamless continuity of the author's commitment to poetry and art over the years, and to reaffirm at the same time, on a theoretical level, a model of creation and thinking as a continuous flow, not discretized, not quantized, but organic, liquid, without end or beginning; a kind of linguistic translation of the space-time in which every text, like every other object, is necessarily immersed. Continuum 2 is a trilingual book, containing writings in English, French, and Italian, and it is particularly focused on two lines of inquiry: the author's ongoing meditation on the poetic practice, and the first steps of his new investigation into seventeenth-century art, poetry, and forms of thought.

Download or read book The cycle of cosmic life written by Dietmar Dressel and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2021-03-04 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happened before the big bang? How did the smallest building blocks of life and matter develop? Do thinking corporeal beings of the higher spiritual order, for example humans, have an ego-consciousness on the basis of the law of conservation of energy? Where does the cycle of cosmic life close? Is there a purpose why the universal world exists in its entirety? And for the fact that it is set up as it is? Is there such a thing as god or gods? As they are called on some habitable planets? And if so, what should we know about him or her? Are they possibly a product of spiritual fantasy of thinking, physical beings of the higher spiritual order as a means of developing and maintaining power? What distinguishes the species of thinking corporeal beings of the higher spiritual order? Is there such a thing as the spiritual, especially a fundamental difference between spirit and matter?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diese Ausgabe von "Ballade am Strom" wurde mit einem funktionalen Layout erstellt und sorgfältig formatiert. Aus dem Buch: "Wie tief es mich nun bewegt, da ich mich anschicke, dir zu schreiben. Mir ist, ich dürfe nicht viele Worte machen, um dir einleitend zu erklären, warum ich hier im Rheinwald hause, einsam geworden aus der Erkenntnis heraus, ich bedürfe jetzt keiner Menschen, sondern nur des wandernden Stromes, der rauschenden Bäume, der Winde und Wolken und des wilden Getiers, das mich umgibt; ich bedürfe nur dieser Wesen und Dinge und des Alleinseins, um das vollenden zu können, was mich erfüllt und was für dich ein Wegweiser sein soll in die Heimat, die du im Groll verlassen hast, aus Überdruß an den Menschen und aus Abscheu vor Lüge und Verrat. Ein Versuch, aus Zeitenwandel und Schicksal eines unglückseligen Landes heraus das Wesen und die dunklen Regungen der Menschenbrust, ja selbst das Verbrechen und den Wankelmut des Herzens zu erklären und mit seinen trüben Folgen milde zu verzeihen, wissend um alle Nöte und um die Zerrissenheit der menschlichen Kreatur, ein solcher Versuch, unternommen aus schlummernder Liebe zu allem, was lebt und atmet, sich ängstigt und freut, auftaucht ins Licht und versinkt in die Schwärze, soll für dich zur Geste des Mitleidens werden und dir die innere Größe geben, mit lächelndem Schauen über Menschen und Ereignissen zu stehen und deine Heimat, gerade wegen ihres zertretenen und geschändeten Schicksals, ihrer Menschenmischung aus Gut und Böse, um so stärker zu lieben. Roland Betsch (1888-1945) war ein deutscher Ingenieur, Schriftsteller, Erzähler und Dramatiker.
Download or read book Readings in the Anthropocene written by Sabine Wilke and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2017-09-21 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Readings in the Anthropocene brings together scholars from German Studies and beyond to interpret the German tradition of the last two hundred years from a perspective that is mindful of the challenge posed by the concept of the Anthropocene. This new age of man, unofficially pronounced in 2000, holds that humans are becoming a geological force in shaping the Earth's future. Among the biggest challenges facing our future are climate change, accelerated species loss, and a radical transformation of land use. What are the historical, philosophical, cultural, literary, and artistic responses to this new concept? The essays in this volume bring German culture to bear on what it means to live in the Anthropocene from a historical, ethical, and aesthetic perspective.
