"The years 1989-2008 were an era of neoliberal hegemony in US politics, economy, and culture. Post45 scholar Adam Kelly argues that American novelists who began their careers during these years - specifically the post-baby-boom generation of writers born between the late 1950s and early 1970s - responded to neoliberalism by developing in their fiction an aesthetics of sincerity. How, and in what way, these writers ask, can you mean what you say, and avow what you feel, when what you say and feel can be bought and sold on the market? What is authentic art in an historical moment when the artist has become a model for neoliberal subjectivity rather than its negation? Through six chapters focused on key writers of the period - including Susan Choi, Helen DeWitt, Jennifer Egan, Dave Eggers, George Saunders, Dana Spiotta, Colson Whitehead, and David Foster Wallace - the book explores these central questions while intervening critically in a set of debates in contemporary literary studies concerning aesthetics, economy, gender, race, class, and politics. Offering the capstone articulation of a set of influential arguments made by the author over a decade and more, New Sincerity constitutes a field-defining account of a period that is simultaneously recent and historically bound, and of a generation of writers who continue to shape the literary landscape of the present."

Auf den ersten Blick hat die Kategorie 'Aufrichtigkeit' mit der Kultur des 17. Jahrhunderts wenig gemein. Im Gegenteil, der Wunsch, die ästhetischen Konventionen und die Künstlichkeit der Zeichensysteme zu verlassen, gilt als Charakteristikum der historisch anschließenden Epoche, die sich vom Barock vehement abzuheben suchte: der Aufklärung. Das Buch relativiert diese geistesgeschichtliche Trennung, indem es nach Formen und Strategien des Authentischen, Natürlichen und Unverstellten in der Literatur und den Künsten, in Verhaltenslehren und Kulturgeschichte der Frühen Neuzeit fragt. Im Zentrum stehen die religiösen und theologischen Dimensionen der Aufrichtigkeit, die sakrale und weltliche Rhetorik, die Verhaltensformen der Unverstelltheit, die Spezifik 'teutscher' Redlichkeit sowie die Funktionen der Aufrichtigkeit in den Wissenschaften und Künsten der Frühen Neuzeit. Mit Beiträgen von Wilfried Barner, Claudia Benthien, Thomas Borgstedt, Miroslawa Czarnecka, Lutz Danneberg, Klaus Garber, Nicola Kaminski, Heidrun Kugeler, Ursula Kundert, Steffen Martus, Marie-Thérèse Mourey, Dirk Niefanger, Ernst Osterkamp, Gerhild Scholz-Williams, Johann Anselm Steiger, Ingo Stöckmann und Stephanie Wodianka.

This book traces the development of the ideal of sincerity from its origins in Anglo-Saxon monasteries to its eventual currency in fifteenth-century familiar letters. Beginning by positioning sincerity as an ideology at the intersection of historical pragmatics and the history of emotions, the author demonstrates how changes in the relationship between outward expression and inward emotions changed English language and literature. While the early chapters reveal that the notion of sincerity was a Christian intervention previously absent from Germanic culture, the latter part of the book provides more focused studies of contrition and love. In doing so, the author argues that under the rubric of courtesy these idealized emotions influenced English in terms of its everyday pragmatics and literary style. This fascinating volume will be of broad interest to scholars of medieval language, literature and culture.
