Forms of Exile in Jewish Literature and Thought deals with the concept of exile on many levels-from the literal to the metaphorical. It combines analyses of predominantly Jewish authors of Central Europe of the twentieth century who are not usually connected, including Kafka, Kraus, Levi, Lustig, Wiesel, and Frankl. It follows the typical routes that exiled writers took, from East to West and later often as far as America. The concept and forms of exile are analyzed from many different points of view and great importance is devoted especially to the forms of inner exile. In Forms of Exile in Jewish Literature and Thought, Bronislava Volková, an exile herself and thus intimately familiar with the topic through her own experience, develops a unique typology of exile that will enrich the field of intellectual and literary history of twentieth-century Europe and America.

Beyond the obvious and enduring socio-economic ravages it unleashed on indigenous cultures, white settler colonization in Australasia also inflicted profound damage on the collective psyche of both of the communities that inhabited the contested space of the colonial world. The acute sense of alienation that colonization initially provoked in the colonized and colonizing populations of Australia and New Zealand has, recent studies indicate, developed into an endemic, existential pathology. Evidence of the psychological fallout from the trauma of geographical deracination, cultural disorientation and ontological destabilization can be found not only in the state of anomie and self-destructive patterns of behaviour that now characterize the lives of indigenous Australian and Maori peoples, but also in the perpetually faltering identity-discourse and cultural rootlessness of the present descendants of the countries’ Anglo-Celtic settlers. It is with the literary expression of this persistent condition of alienation that the essays gathered in the present volume are concerned. Covering a heterogeneous selection of contemporary Australasian literature, what these critical studies convincingly demonstrate is that, more than two hundred years after the process of colonisation was set in motion, the experience that Germaine Greer has dubbed 'the pain of unbelonging' continues unabated, constituting a dominant thematic concern in the writing produced today by Australian and New Zealand authors.

Die Untersuchung vergleicht die Erzählwerke Thomas Bernhards und Christoph Heins unter dem Aspekt des Fremdseins. Sie arbeitet anhand einer komparatistischen Grundmethode gemeinsame Themen, Problemstellungen und poetologische Eigenarten sowie Unterschiede heraus. Sie setzt sich das Ziel, die gestaltete Sozialisation der Figuren beider Autoren zu analysieren, die in ihren Werken erfaßten Deformationen und Fremdheitsphänomene aufzuzeigen und zu erklären sowie spezifische Darstellungsmittel zu identifizieren. Dabei bedient sich die Arbeit sozio-psychologischer und psychoanalytischer Modelle. Die Untersuchung ergibt, daß die Figuren Bernhards und Heins von ihrer Kindheit an zerstörerischen Wirkungen ausgesetzt sind, die eine einheitliche Lebenskonstitution und Sozialisation bedrohen oder verhindern. In Größenphantasien, Rollen- und Machtspielen bemühen sie sich vergeblich, ihre Identität zu finden. Ein Vergleich der unter speziellen gesellschaftlichen Voraussetzungen entstandenen Werke Bernhards und Heins erhellt, daß der gemeinsame zivilisatorische Grundcharakter der jeweils andersartigen Gesellschaftssysteme vergleichbares Fremdsein bedingt.
