The novelist, poet, and essayist W. G. Sebald (1944 - 2001) was perhaps the most original German writer of the last decade of the 20th century ("Die Ausgewanderten", "Austerlitz", "Luftkrieg und Literatur"). His writing is marked by a unique 'hybridity' that combines characteristics of travelogue, cultural criticism, crime story, historical essay, and dream diary, among other genres. He employs layers of literary and motion picture allusions that contribute to a sometimes enigmatic, sometimes intimately familiar mood; his dominant mode is melancholy. The contributions of this anthology examine

Die Sekundärliteratur über W.G. Sebald hat in erstaunlicher Schnelle nahezu unüberschaubare Ausmaße angenommen. Allerdings bearbeitet der überwiegende Teil der Publikationen einen begrenzten Kreis an Themen, die man auf den Komplex Trauma-Holocaust-Intermedialität-Erinnerung-Melancholie reduzieren kann. Zumeist steht dabei der Roman Austerlitz im Fokus der Aufmerksamkeit, während - neben den anderen Prosabänden - ganze Werkbereiche vernachlässigt werden. Dazu zählen das Frühwerk und die Lyrik, aber auch das beachtliche Korpus literaturkritischer Schriften, sowie die weitgehend unbekannten szenischen Texte Sebalds. Angesichts dieser ungenügenden Lage fokussiert Über Sebald gezielt auf solche Themen und Texte, die bisher ignoriert oder nicht wirklich in ihrer grundlegenden Bedeutung für ein differenzierteres Verständnis dieses zwischen Literaturwissenschaft und Literatur, Deutschland und England, Verehrung und Ablehnung situierten Autors erkannt wurden. Bei den Beiträgern dieses zweisprachigen Bandes handelt es sich zumeist um internationale Sebald-Experten und Nachwuchsforscher sowie Privatgelehrte, die außerhalb des Wissenschaftsbetriebs stehen. Persönliche Erinnerungen von Sebalds Doktoranden runden den Band ab, der das bisher bekannte Bild dieses Schlüsselautors der Literatur des späten zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts wesentlich erweitert und über das geläufige Bild hinaus vertieft.

Die vorliegende Studie widmet sich einer Analyse des Sebald'schen Prosastils unter Rekonstruktion des literarischen Produktionsprozesses. Erstmals in einer Monografie wird seine Handbibliothek im Deutschen Literaturarchiv Marbach erschlossen, um die stilistischen Einflüsse von Dichtern und Denkern wie Adorno, Benjamin, Bernhard, Bassani und Lévi-Strauss in seinem Werk herauszustellen. Mit Blick auf seine Rezeption der Fortschrittskritik der Frankfurter Schule werden als wesentliche Schlüssel zum Werk W.G. Sebalds nicht Holocaust und Zweiter Weltkrieg, sondern die dialektischen Prozesse von Geschichte nachgewiesen. This book uses the annotations in W.G. Sebald’s private library (held in the Deutsches Literaturarchiv, Marbach) to construct an interpretation of his prose style as fundamentally dialectical. Alongside his readings of writers such as Benjamin, Bernhard, Bassani, and Lévi-Strauss, it uses in particular Adorno’s and Horkheimer’s „Dialektik der Aufklärung“ to help develop a close reading of Sebald’s syntax and narrative structures. The key concern of Sebald’s prose emerges not as the Holocaust, but rather the dialectical processes of ‚progress’ and ‚regression’ inherent in history.

In this probing look at Alfred Döblin's 1929 novel Berlin Alexanderplatz and the stories of W. G. Sebald, Redeeming Words offers a philosophical meditation on the power of language in literature. David Kleinberg-Levin draws on the critical theory of Benjamin and Adorno; the idealism and romanticism of Kant, Hegel, Hölderlin, Novalis, and Schelling; and the nineteenth- and twentieth-century thought of Nietzsche, Heidegger, and Derrida. He shows how Döblin and Sebald—writers with radically different styles working in different historical moments—have in common a struggle against forces of negativity and an aim to bring about in response a certain redemption of language. Kleinberg-Levin considers the fast-paced, staccato, and hard-cut sentences of Döblin and the ghostly, languorous, and melancholy prose fiction of Sebald to articulate how both writers use language in an attempt to recover and convey this utopian promise of happiness for life in a time of mourning.

Obgleich die Raumdebatte in den Kulturwissenschaften Konjunktur hat, wird selten darüber nachgedacht, wie sich deren Ergebnisse für die analytische Lektüre literarischer Texte nutzbar machen lassen. Anhand ausgewählter Gegenwartsprosa (von W.G. Sebald, Anne Duden und Herta Müller) will dieses Buch die Zusammenhänge zwischen literarisch artikulierten Raummodellen und texttheoretischen Fragestellungen erhellen. Dabei wird eine Erweiterung der klassischen Positionen zu topologischen und poetologischen Aspekten literarischer Texte ausgearbeitet, die die neueren Entwicklungen in der Raumtheorie konzeptuell aufnimmt.

Exploring travellers' tales of wonder in contemporary literature, this study challenges a sensibility of disenchantment with travel. It reassesses travel writing as an aesthetically and ethically innovative form in contemporary international literature, and demonstrates the crucial role of wonder in the travel narratives of writers such as Bruce Chatwin, V.S. Naipaul, and W.G. Sebald. Their 'travellers' tales of wonder' are read as a challenge to the hubris of thinking the world too well known, and an invitation to encounter the world - including its most troubling histories - with a sense of wonder.

In his Duino Elegies, Rainer Maria Rilke suggests that animals enjoy direct access to a realm of being-the open-concealed from humans by the workings of consciousness and self-consciousness. In his own reading of Rilke, Martin Heidegger reclaims the open as the proper domain of human existence but suggests that human life remains haunted by vestiges of an animal-like relation to its surroundings. Walter Benjamin, in turn, was to show that such vestiges-what Eric Santner calls the creaturely-have a biopolitical aspect: they are linked to the processes that inscribe life in the realm of power and authority. Santner traces this theme of creaturely life from its poetic and philosophical beginnings in the first half of the twentieth century to the writings of the enigmatic German novelist W. G. Sebald. Sebald's entire oeuvre, Santner argues, can be seen as an archive of creaturely life. For Sebald, the work on such an archive was inseparable from his understanding of what it means to engage ethically with another person's history and pain, an engagement that transforms us from indifferent individuals into neighbors. An indispensable book for students of Sebald, On Creaturely Life is also a significant contribution to critical theory.
