Abstract

This study of Joseph Conrad's influential work "Heart of Darkness" presents for the first time the German-language reception of this reference text in the debate on postcolonialism. The spectrum ranges from Conrad's contemporaries (like Kafka) to many canonical authors of the 20th century (including Thomas Mann, Ernst Jünger, Christa Wolf) to the most recent names in literature (i.e. Christian Kracht and Lukas Bärfuss). Beyond the readings of their works, the study contributes to the study of cultural transfers as well as to Conrad philology, and it expands the theory of intertextuality with parameters that capture the complex factor of power in postcolonial relations. This book is a translation of an original German edition. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from aconventional translation. The author (with the friendly support of Joe Kroll) has subsequently revised the text further in an endeavour to refine the work stylistically. "Lorenz's meticulous analyses are immensely stimulating and productive." (Journal of European Studies) Matthias N. Lorenz is Professor of German and Comparative literature at Leibniz Universität Hannover (Germany) and Extraordinary Professor at Stellenbosch University (South Africa). He led two Swiss National Science Foundation projects on ruptures and continuities in Group 47 and on the phenomenon of disruption in the work of Christian Kracht and he is part of a Volkswagen Foundation research group on doing memory of right-wing violence.

Abstract

The 17 contributions in this volume pursue a positioning of the philologies, which - based on the 'Volksgeist' (popular spirit) of the 19th century and the cultural studies of the 20th century - must reposition themselves in the 21st century. The contributions address questions such as: What changes are occurring with increasing globalization? Are national literatures increasingly being absorbed into the so-called "world literature"? The authors come from the fields of Romance studies, German studies and English studies. They deal with topics of literary historiography, canonization, comparative literature, and also questions of the future. This book is a translation of an original German edition. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation.

Abstract

Der vorliegende Band versammelt die Arbeiten von spanischen und österreichischen Literaturwissenschaftlern, die im Rahmen eines von Marisa Siguán (Universität Barcelona) und Karl Wagner (Universität Wien) geleiteten bilateralen Forschungsprojekts intertextuelle und interkulturelle Beziehungen zwischen österreichischer und spanischer Literatur im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert erforscht haben. Die Beiträge des Bandes konzentrieren auf folgende symptomatische Aspekte der literarisch-kulturellen Entwicklung in Spanien und Österreich: - auf Differenzen, Besonderheiten und unterschiedliche Prozesse, die Epochenbegriffe wie Realismus und Fin de siècle nachhaltig transformiert haben. - auf das dynamische Verhältnis von Zentrum und Peripherie in den literarischen Manifestationen, das in besonderer Weise vergleichende Kultur-Analysen herausfordert. - auf Bewältigungsversuche des Horrors der Geschichte in der Literatur beider Länder, die ein fundamentales Thema für die Literatur der zweiten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts darstellt. Dabei interessiert insbesondere auch die Frage, inwieweit sich bei den Tätern und deren Nachfahren ein Bewusstsein von dem gebildet hat, was sie taten; Versuchen, die Monstrosität der je eigenen Vergangenheit revisionistisch zu verharmlosen und mit einer selbstzufriedenen Geschichtslosigkeit kompatibel zu machen, gilt besondere kritische Aufmerksamkeit.
