Seit ihrer Renaissance in den 1990er Jahren ist die Popliteratur im Feuilleton und in den Universitäten sehr präsent. Der Band beschreibt die amerikanische Beat- und Underground-Szene sowie die Pop-Art- und Popmusik-Debatten und zeigt, wie sich diese Einflüsse in den 1960er Jahren insbesondere durch die Vermittlung von Rolf Dieter Brinkmann auf die deutschsprachige Literatur auswirkten. Umfangreiche Kapitel erläutern die Poptheorie und die Poetik der Popliteratur. Es folgen Einzelkapitel zum Werk von Rainald Goetz, Thomas Meinecke, Benjamin von Stuckrad-Barre, Christian Kracht und Sybille Berg sowie zur Popliteratur der Gegenwart.

This collection of essays reappraises the contributions made by modernist movements from regions generally regarded as peripheral or semi-peripheral to a global aesthetic of Modernism. It particularly focuses on European semi-peripheries, combining theoretical chapters and individual case studies to examine the cultural and aesthetic complexities of so-called peripheral modernisms. Contributing to research on the ‘transnational turn’ in New Modernist Studies, the volume takes recent scholarship on postcolonial modernisms one step further by exploring a broader geopolitical expanse than the (formerly) colonised regions under global capitalism. It highlights the local and translocal specificities of modernist movements from regions such as Eastern and Central Europe and the Mediterranean to offer new insights into the concept of global modernism.

This book explores Yeats’s later poetry through the metaphor of the poetic tower, where different kinds of ‘building’ – architectural, textual, political and symbolic – were closely interrelated. It chronologically examines Yeats’s tower poems, composed during a period of dramatic personal and national transformation, from 1915 to 1932. Within a year after the Easter Rising in Dublin, Yeats acquired a half-ruined Norman tower in County Galway, Ireland, which had enthralled him for the past two decades, and textually and architecturally constructed it into a focus of his life and work. Interweaving the account of the renovation of the actual building and the textual construction in the socio-historical contexts, the book reveals the evolution of Yeats’s multiplex tower as an organizing principle of his later poetry. Using the archive of correspondence and manuscript materials of relevant poems, including those which have thus far escaped close attention, the book offers close textual-genetic analyses and a diachronic view of Yeats’s tower poetry, which, with its foundations laid decades earlier, he built in the collections from The Wild Swans at Coole (1919) to The Winding Stair and Other Poems (1933). Highlighting the delicate exchange between poetry and biography as well as between the textual architecture and the actual one, identifying a turning point in the making of each tower-oriented poem and proposing some draft-dating revisions, this first book-length systematic study on the process of Yeats’s creation of the tower casts an unfamiliar light on a familiar yet underexplored landmark in modern poetry and makes his step-by-step construction work come alive. Tomoko Iwatsubo is Professor at Hosei University, Tokyo, Japan. She has published a number of articles on W. B. Yeats.

This book provides a comprehensive introduction to and overview of the life and philosophy of Ernst Bloch. Bloch has had a strange fate in the English-speaking world. He wrote his famous three-volume opus, The Principle of Hope, while living in exile in the United States from 1938 to 1940. It was first published, however, in East Germany in the 1950s after he had returned to Europe and became a professor of philosophy at the University of Leipzig. Gradually, his other numerous works became better known and widespread in Europe and scholars in the US and UK started to take note of his works. Yet, he has still remained a somewhat neglected figure in the humanities. While this book does not set out to entirely rectify this neglect, it does offer readers an introduction to Bloch’s works and the opportunity to understand more about the importance of utopian thought. Through an exploration of some of Bloch’s more controversial communist leanings and relationship to the Soviet Union, a study of Bloch’s utopian quest, and even a comparison with J. R. R. Tolkien, this comprehensive study demonstrates just how interesting a figure Ernst Bloch really was, and how his philosophy of hope has laid the basis for secular humanism.

Marlen Haushofer ist eine der bedeutendsten österreichischen Autorinnen der Nachkriegsgeneration und mit einiger Verzögerung inzwischen als solche anerkannt. Ihrem Werk – den fünf Romanen sowie einer Reihe von Erzählungen und Kinderbüchern – widmen sich in diesem Buch zehn ausgewiesene Expertinnen und Experten, die Haushofers Themen und Kontexte mit perspektivischer Vielfalt ausleuchten. Der Roman Die Wand hat seit seinem Erscheinen ein breites internationales Echo und mehrere Wiederentdeckungen erfahren. Als narratives Lockdown-Experiment ist er aktueller denn je. Auch das übrige Werk der Autorin ist ästhetisch bemerkenswert und rezeptionsgeschichtlich aufschlussreich. Zu Haushofers zentralen Themen zählen die Vertreibung aus dem prekären Paradies der Kindheit und das Fortwirken der nationalsozialistischen Vergangenheit. In formaler Hinsicht erweisen sich die perspektivische Beschränkung auf die Erlebniswelt ihrer Figuren und die Präsenz phantastischer und märchenhafter Elemente als Konstanten.
