Destroying human habitat and taking human lives, disasters, be they natural, man-made, or a combination, threaten large populations, even entire nations and societies. They also disrupt the existing order and cause discontinuity in our sense of self and our perceptions of the world. To restore order, not only must human beings be rescued and affected areas rebuilt, but the reality of the catastrophe must also be transformed into narrative. The essays in this collection examine representations of disaster in literature, film, and mass media in German and international contexts, exploring the nexus between disruption and recovery through narrative from the eighteenth century to the present. Topics include the Lisbon earthquake, the Paris Commune, the Hamburg and Dresden fire-bombings in the Second World War, nuclear disasters in Alexander Kluge's films, the filmic aesthetics of catastrophe, Yoko Tawada's lectures on the Fukushima disaster and Christa Wolf's novel Störfall in light of that same disaster, Joseph Haslinger and the tsunami of 2004, traditions regarding avalanche disaster in the Tyrol, and the problems and implications of defining disaster.

Wie kaum eine andere Dramatikerin schafft es Elfriede Jelinek, mit ihren Texten seit Jahrzehnten für Aufruhr auf der Bühne und in den medialen und wissenschaftlichen Anschlussdiskursen zu sorgen. Dabei wird ihrem Werk, das 2004 mit dem Literaturnobelpreis ausgezeichnet wurde, fast hymnisch das Prädikat "Gesellschaftskritik" zugeschrieben. In dieser literaturwissenschaftlichen Studie wird der "Diskurs Jelinek" in seiner Spezifik beschrieben und damit analysierbar und prinzipiell sogar simulierbar gemacht. Durch strukturale und zugleich interdiskursive Textanalysen ausgewählter Dramen werden dabei jene homologen Textstrukturen, wie oszillierende Figurenmodelle, in den Dramen aufgezeigt, die das Spiel der (Sprach-)Macht vor dem Hintergrund aktueller politischer und wirtschaftlicher Mediendiskurse offenlegen.
