Mit dem Theorem der imaginären Institutionen entwirft Cornelius Castoriadis ein Konzept radikaler (Selbst-)Veränderung und rückt das unbestimmt, doch artikulierbare Imaginäre als ontologische Kategorie ins Zentrum seines kulturtheoretischen Entwurfs. Diesen untersucht die vorliegende Arbeit heuristisch auf seine poetologische Potenzialität. Dazu wird er systematisiert und als Reflexionstheorie funktionalisiert, um Literatur als imaginäre Institution gelesen auf literaturtheoretischer, ästhetischer, literaturgeschichtlicher sowie auf inhaltlich-interpretatorischer Ebene ganzheitlich zu analysieren. Da politische und poetische Kategorien nicht unvermittelt verbunden werden können, wird das Imaginäre anhand dispositivischer Wirkmechanismen beschrieben, die die imaginären Institutionen der Politik und der Literatur gleichermaßen steuern. Literaturgeschichtlich erfährt ein solch virulentes Imaginäres innerhalb der Ästhetik der Klassischen Moderne eine starke Akzentuierung. Alfred Döblins literarische, poetologische und politische Schriften stehen dafür exemplarisch, kulminierend in seinem monumentalen Roman Berge Meere und Giganten.

This book, the first cross-cultural study of post-1970s anglophone Canadian and American multi-ethnic drama, invites assessment of the thematic and aesthetic contributions of this theater in today’s globalized culture. A growing number of playwrights of African, South and East Asian, and First Nations heritage have engaged with manifold socio-political and aesthetic issues in experimental works combining formal features of more classical European dramatic traditions with such elements of ethnic culture as ancestral music and dance, to interrogate the very concepts of theatricality and canonicity. Their “mouths on fire” (August Wilson), these playwrights contest stereotyped notions of authenticity. In¬spired by songs of anger, passion, experience, survival, and regeneration, the plays analyzed bespeak a burning desire to break the silence, to heal and empower. Foregrounding questions of hybridity, diaspora, cultural memory, and nation, this comparative study includes discussion of some twenty-five case studies of plays by such authors as M.J. Kang, August Wilson, Suzan–Lori Parks, Djanet Sears, Chay Yew, Padma Viswanathan, Rana Bose, Diane Glancy, and Drew Hayden Taylor. Through its cross-cultural and cross-national prism, “Mouths on Fire with Songs” shows that multi-ethnic drama is one of the most diverse and dynamic sites of cultural production in North America today.
