Between 1880 and 1920 in Germany, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and Russia the mind sciences (psychology, psychiatry, neuroscience) began to first take shape. These new demographically applicable studies of the mind were soon integrated into the modern nation-states. In Psychic Empire, Cate Reilly examines how writers explored the increasng presence of a calculable, scientific regulation of mental health. She demonstrates how literary texts revealed the impact of this development on the collective mental landscape, tracing its consequences both for subject formation and in the popular, literary imagination. Reilly focuses on writers whose work offers an account of the psychiatric subject living under a developing psychopolitical regime. She considers the growing divergence between psychiatrist Emil Kraepelin's empirico-statistical methodology and Freud's individualized, language-focused practice. Subsequent chapters follow how a German-Jewish Expressionist play (written by Kraepelin patient Ernst Toller) contested the racialized, proto-fascist aspects of Kraeplin's psychiatric taxonomy and how a Soviet novel by Vsevolod Ivanov sheds light on psychopower's implications for dominant economic systems. Reilly also examines psychopower's new interface with the judicial system via a German transgender memoir tied to a psychiatric legal case (Daniel Paul Schreber), and then turns to a Bolshevik mass spectacle that utilized empirical psychology to catalyze Marxist-Leninist political "consciousness." In discussing the work of these writers, Reilly argues that aesthetic objects are tools to understand mind sciences rather than illustrations of them

As a concept, 'trauma' has attracted a great deal of interest in literary studies. A key term in psychoanalytic approaches to literary study, trauma theory represents a critical approach that enables new modes of reading and of listening. It is a leading concept of our time, applicable to individuals, cultures, and nations. This book traces how trauma theory has come to constitute a discrete but influential approach within literary criticism in recent decades. It offers an overview of the genesis and growth of literary trauma theory, recording the evolution of the concept of trauma in relation to literary studies. In twenty-one essays, covering the origins, development, and applications of trauma in literary studies, Trauma and Literature addresses the relevance and impact this concept has in the field.

Der Literaturwissenschaftler Walter Müller-Seidel zählt zu den einflussreichsten Vertretern seines Faches. Weit über dessen Grenzen hinaus setzte er sich mit anderen Disziplinen und Denksystemen auseinander. Seine vorliegenden Arbeiten von Goethe bis zur Weimarer Republik sind im Spannungsfeld von Psychiatrie, Strafrecht und Literatur angesiedelt und dokumentieren Elemente der literarischen und rechtlichen Entwicklungen der letzten 200 Jahre. The literary scholar Walter Müller-Seidel is among the most influential writers in his field. Going well beyond the boundaries of literature, he engaged with other disciplines and systems of thought. His papers collected in this volume extend from Goethe to the Weimar Republic, and include interfaces with psychiatry, penal law, and literature. They document the evolution of literature and the law over the past 200 years.
