Abstract

Der 11. September gilt als epochale Zäsur, kulturelles Trauma und globales Medienereignis, das die Verknüpfung von Politik, Visualität und Geschichte verdeutlicht hat. Wie verhält sich die deutsche Gegenwartsliteratur angesichts der Medienkonkurrenz und der Inkommensurabilität dieses Ereignisses? Wie schreiben Autoren über die wirkmächtigen Bilderwelten und politischen Folgen der New Yorker Terroranschläge? Heide Reinhäckel untersucht in ihrem Buch die Literarisierungen des 11. September im Zeitraum 2001-2010 und analysiert die dabei zum Einsatz kommenden Themen und Textverfahren in der deutschen Gegenwartsliteratur. Sie liefert so - ein Jahrzehnt nach 9/11 - einen aktuellen Beitrag zur jüngsten deutschen Literaturgeschichte. Besprochen in: Germanistik, 53/1-2 (2012)

Abstract

"Falling After 9/11 provides close readings of post 9/11 figures of falling in such exemplary American texts as DeLillo's novel, Falling Man, Diane Seuss's poem, "Falling Man," Jonathan Safran Foer's Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, and Richard Drew's famous photograph of the man falling from the World Trade Center. Considered from the perspective of trauma theory, Falling After 9/11 argues that the apparent failure of these texts to register fully the trauma of the day in fact points to a larger problem in the national tradition: the problem of reference--of how to refer to falling--in the 21st century and beyond"--

Abstract

"Far from an unfortunate cliche medievalism has become a dominant paradigm for comprehending the identity and motivations of America's perceived enemy in the War on Terror. Yet as Bruce Holsinger argues, this cloying post-9/11 rhetoric has served to obscure the more intricate ideological machinations of neomedievalism, the global idiom of the non-state actor; NGOs, transnational corporate militias, and terrorist organizations like Hezbollah and al Qaeda. While International Relations theorists promote neomedievalism as a model for understanding emergent modes of global sovereignty, neoconservatives exploit its conceptual slipperiness for tactical ends. Holsinger concludes with a careful parsing of the Bush administration's Torture Memos, which enlist neomedievalism's model of feudal sovereignty toward the abrogation of human rights."--Jacket.

Abstract

Have the terrorist attacks of September 11 shifted the moral coordinates of contemporary fiction? And how might such a shift, reflected in narrative strategies and forms, relate to other themes and trends emerging with the globalization of literature? This book pursues these questions through works written in the wake of 9/11 and examines the complex intersection of ethics and narrative that has defined a significant portion of British and American fiction over the past decade.Don DeLillo, Pat Barker, Aleksandar Hemon, Lorraine Adams, Michael Cunningham, and Patrick McGrath are among the

Abstract

Rashid examines the region and the corridors of power in Washington and Europe to see how the promised nation building in these countries has progressed. His conclusions are devastating: an unstable and nuclear-armed Pakistan, a renewed al Qaeda profiting from a booming opium trade, and a Taliban resurgence and reconquest. While Iraq continues to attract most of American media and military might, Rashid argues that Pakistan and Afghanistan are where the conflict will finally be played out and that these failing states pose a graver threat to global security than the Middle East.--From publisher description.
