Literary fiction in Germany has long been a medium for contemplation of the 'nation' and questions of national identity. From the mid-1990s, in the wake of heated debates on the future direction of culture, politics and society in a more 'normal', united country, German literature has become increasingly diverse and seemingly disparate - at the one extreme, it represents the attempt to 'reinvent' German traditions, at the other, the unmistakable influence of Anglo-American forms and pop literature. A shared concern of almost all of recent German fiction, however, is the contemporary debate on globalisation, its nature, impact and consequences for 'local culture'. In its engagement with globalisation the literature of the Berlin Republic continues the long-established practice of reflection on what it is to be 'German'.This book investigates literary responses to the phenomenon of globalisation. The subject is approached from a wide range of thematic and theoretical perspectives in twelve chapters which, taken together, also provide an overview of German fiction from the mid-1990s to the present. The book serves both as an introduction to contemporary German literature for university students of German and as a resource for scholars interested in culture and society in the Berlin Republic.

Approaches to a history of European mentality in the modern age are derived here from the confrontation of thematically related works in German and Italian literature. The emphasis is on the following topics: the universal idea of Europe advanced in Romanticism and its replacement by national concepts, the corresponding forms taken by the historiography of national literature, the concepts of melancholy operative in the age of restoration, the specific national variations on the theme of decadence, the positions taken up by European conservatism and aestheticism, the comparison between Italian futurism and German expressionism, strategies for coming to terms with the First and Second World War, and literary memorialization of the holocaust.

Theodor W. Adorno hat in seinem Radiovortrag »Engagement oder künstlerische Autonomie?« (1962) gezeigt, dass die im Titel aufgeworfene Frage keine starre Antithese ist. Literarische Texte, die sich einseitig als (politisch) engagiert verstehen, verkennen den Autonomiestatus jeder künstlerischen Äußerung. Umgekehrt ist eine Literatur, die sich einseitig für autonom erklärt, blind für den eigenen Gesellschaftsbezug und den kontrafaktischen Einspruch, der aufgrund der bloßen Existenz literarischer Texte als Literatur immer schon nahegelegt wird. Der Band nimmt das Spannungsfeld, das durch den Engagementbegriff und durch den Gegenwartsbezug von Literatur konstituiert wird, historisch und systematisch in den Blick. Das Spektrum reicht von Konzepten der Zeitdichtung im 19. Jahrhundert über literarische Modelle des 20. Jahrhunderts bis zu ästhetischen Positionierungen in der unmittelbaren Gegenwart.

In the last few years, education and nationalization, marginalization and re-integration of religious, social and ethnic groups have been accorded special attention in the research undertaken by a number of different disciplines. In the form of a dialogue between literary and historical studies, the present volume reflects on modernization processes from a historical perspective and attempts to trace the emergence of the corresponding conceptual instruments between 1850 and 1918. The volume assembles the contributions to a colloquium held in 1995 in honor of Wolfgang Frühwald's 60th birthday.
