Publisher Statement
»It is difficult to imagine a better counterbalance to the shallowness and uniformity of a civilization than literature.« (Paul Michael Lützeler)
This volume About Contemporary Literature is written by the former students of Paul Michael Lützeler in honor of their teacher and mentor on the occasion of his 65th birthday. The essays provide new interpretations of contemporary German literature, open multifaceted perspectives for research, and stimulate the ongoing dialog with contemporary authors and their works. Numerous dimensions of contemporary German literary production are investigated, including: the new futurism; literary communication and authenticity; the representation of traumatic sites and the Holocaust; landscapes of memory; women’s literature, feminism, and motherhood; deconstruction and fictional biographies; Generation Golf, pop writers, and globalization; multiculturalism; ethics, aesthetics, and politics; literary melancholy and the homoerotic; critical theory and literature; postcolonialism.
