Der wütende Text war bislang nie Gegenstand einer systematischen Untersuchung. Hier nun ist deren Grundlage eine interdisziplinäre Bestimmung der Emotion Wut selbst. So gelangen die Textanalysen zu Erkenntnissen, die über die bisherigen Befunde in Poetik, Rhetorik, Linguistik und Psychologie hinausgehen. Die Studie knüpft zwar an die Satire-Theorie an, doch bedeutet sie für die Kategorisierung und Analyse aggressiven Schreibens einen Neuansatz. The furious text has not been an object of systematic analysis until now. In this volume, this analysis is based on an interdisciplinary definition of the emotion of fury itself. Text analyses thus provide insights that go beyond previous findings from the fields of poetics, rhetoric, linguistics, and psychology. Although this study takes up the theory of satire, it develops a new approach to categorize and analyze aggressive writing.

This volume, prompted by the publication in 1999 of Moya Longstaffe's remarkable study, Metamorphoses of Passion and the Heroic in French Literature: Corneille, Stendhal, Claudel, further investigates and analyses the multiple appearances of Passion and Heroism in literature. It pursues the exploration of these themes in a variety of cultures (English, French, German, Spanish), genres, and critical approaches. In addition, the chronological span represented is extremely wide. Contributions range from La Fontaine, Molie`re and Voltaire to Rimbaud and Camus; from Baudelaire to Beckett; from Wagner to Goytisolo. This very diversity gives necessary context, providing scope for reflection and analysis. Although passion seems timeless, can heroism have any real meaning - apart from an individual and existential one - in our postmodern age? Has a notion at the centre of European culture for so many centuries really disappeared from our intellectual and cultural universe? This volume will be of interest to all students of literature, whatever their critical or linguistic allegiance, since it focuses on the varying manifestations of two vital ingredients of all societies and cultures.

What makes us laugh and cry, sometimes at the same time? How do these two primal, seemingly discrete and non-verbal modes of expression intersect in everyday life and ritual, and what range of emotions do they evoke? How may they be voiced, shaped and coloured in literature and liturgy, art and music?

Bringing together scholars from diverse periods and disciplines of Hellenic and Byzantine studies, this volume explores the shifting shapes and functions of laughter and tears. With a focus on the tragic, the comic and the tragicomic dimensions of laughter and tears in art, literature and performance, as well as on their emotional, socio-cultural and religious significance, it breaks new ground in the study of ancient and Byzantine affectivity.
