Kontemporär. Schriften zur deutschsprachigen Gegenwartsliteratur

Hans Magnus Enzensbergers (1929-2022) Lebenswerk ist von den Auftritten des „zornigen jungen Mannes" (Alfred Andersch) in den 1950er und 60er Jahren bis hin zu den dezidiert ironischen Brosamen des „Herrn Zett" der 2010er Jahre ausgespannt zwischen (Anti-)Programmatik und Ideologiekritik. Sein Werk bietet ein weites Spektrum des ästhetischen, wissenschaftlichen und medienöffentlichen Umgangs mit Problemen der jeweils aktuellen Gegenwart. Erst recht hat er den Konnex von Politik und Literatur immer wieder selbstkritisch verhandelt. In Zeiten, in denen der Konflikt- und Krisenpegel das geläufige Maß übersteigen, sind jene Art Beobachtung und Kritik gefragt, in der sich Enzensberger auch heute als ein besonderer Zeitgenosse erweist.
Der Band erkundet die Bandbreite von Enzensbergers Schaffen als Lyriker, Anthologist, Essayist, Zeitschriften- und Buchreihenherausgeber, Medientheoretiker, Publizist und seine Rolle als Chefintellektueller der Bundesrepublik.

Kritik, Skepsis und Ironie bei Hans Magnus Enzensberger

Schiffbrüche verhandeln

SpringerBriefs in Law

As the climate crisis intensifies, contemporary literature has emerged as one of the most potent arenas for legal imagination. 
 Legal Drafts in Anthropocene Literature 
 examines how fiction set in the Anthropocene — ranging from cli-fi novels to experimental poetry — anticipates, critiques and actively shapes the development of legal frameworks aimed at addressing environmental destruction.
 Building on the key idea that literature acts as a ‘seismographic’ indicator of legal change, this volume brings together Alexandra Juster, Justine Scarlaken, Matthew Birkhold, and Amitabh Vikram Dwivedi, who analyse works by John Ironmonger, Gaspard Koenig, Jean Giono, Camille de Toledo, Baptiste Morizot, Jessie Kleemann, Kim Stanley Robinson, and Indra Sinha. The authors reveal how fictional narratives generate what the volume terms 'legal drafts' — implicit or explicit proposals for new legal concepts, instruments, and responsibilities that are urgently needed in the Anthropocene era.The volume addresses the most pressing legal questions of our time: How can individuals and collectives be held accountable for climate damage? Should nature be granted legal personality? What would an ‘ecocide’ prosecution entail, and how can narratives render such an unthinkable crime imaginable? How does poetry expose the epistemological limits of law when confronted with slow violence and planetary interdependence?The contributions collectively demonstrate that literature does not merely reflect legal reality — it actively generates it, from river parliaments and beaver diplomacy in contemporary French literature to Greenlandic poetic testimony as a speculative lawsuit against ice melt and the narrative jurisprudence of climate governance fiction.

Legal Drafts in Anthropocene Literature

Literatur - Poetik - Ästhetik

Angelika Meier (*1968) ist eine Ausnahmeerscheinung der deutschsprachigen Gegenwartsliteratur: philosophisch scharf, intertextuell überbordend, zugleich komisch, melancholisch und formal kühn. Ihre Romane, Erzählungen und Essays treiben ein ebenso lustvolles wie virtuoses Spiel mit Popkultur und intermedialer Reflexion, mit Sprachwitz und radikaler Lese-Verunsicherung. 
Dieser Band versammelt erstmals eine breite literaturwissenschaftliche Auseinandersetzung mit Meiers Werk. Die Beiträge untersuchen poetologische Verfahren, kulturtheoretische Kontexte und ästhetische Strategien. Ein Band für alle, die wissen wollen, wie klug, verspielt und radikal Gegenwartsliteratur sein kann, die sich jeder Schublade entzieht.

Zum Werk von Angelika Meier

Unzeiten und Gegenwarten

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • From internationally renowned, award-winning author Salman Rushdie, a spellbinding exploration of life, death, and what comes into focus at the proverbial eleventh hour of life “An inventive and engrossing collection of stories which, though death-tinged, are never doom-laden. With luck this master writer has more tales to tell.”—Los Angeles Times A NEW YORKER BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR Rushdie turns his extraordinary imagination to life’s final act with a quintet of stories that span the three countries in which he has made his work—India, England, and America—and feature an unforgettable cast of characters. “In the South” introduces a pair of quarrelsome old men—Junior and Senior—and their private tragedy at a moment of national calamity. In “The Musician of Kahani,” a musical prodigy from the Mumbai neighborhood featured in Midnight’s Children uses her magical gifts to wreak devastation on the wealthy family she marries into. In “Late,” the ghost of a Cambridge don enlists the help of a lonely student to enact revenge upon the tormentor of his lifetime. “Oklahoma” plunges a young writer into a web of deceit and lies as he tries to figure out whether his mentor killed himself or faked his own death. And “The Old Man in the Piazza” is a powerful parable for our times about freedom of speech. Do we accommodate ourselves to death, or rail against it? Do we spend our “eleventh hour” in serenity or in rage? And how do we achieve fulfillment with our lives if we don’t know the end of our own stories? The Eleventh Hour ponders life and death, legacy and identity with the penetrating insight and boundless imagination that have made Salman Rushdie one of the most celebrated writers of our time.

Gegenwartsliteratur

Die präventive Sorge vor der Zukunft bestimmt das Alltagshandeln einzelner Menschen und die Selbstorganisation ganzer Gesellschaften. Allerdings lässt sich der Erfolg von Prävention kaum überprüfen: Die strukturelle Fiktionalität von Unheilserwartungen und Schadensprognosen, die präventives Denken und Handeln anleiten, rückt diese in die Nähe literarischer Fiktionen. Umgekehrt wird auch in der Literatur selbst präventives Zukunftsdenken verhandelt. Wo liegen dennoch die Unterschiede zwischen der Fiktionalität präventiv handlungsleitender Zukunftserwartungen und jener Fiktionalität, die Merkmal literarischer Erzählkunst ist? Und inwiefern macht die Frage nach der Sicherung unsicherer Zukünfte die Literatur heute zu einer anderen Literatur, als jene anderer Zeiten?
Ausgehend von Analysen aktueller US-amerikanischer Spielfilme und Romane unternimmt der Autor eine Relektüre der soziologischen und diskursanalytischen Literatur zum Thema Prävention und gewinnt neue Perspektiven auf zentrale Kategorien der Literaturwissenschaft wie Plot, Fiktion und Narration.
So trägt die vorliegende Arbeit zur begrifflichen Differenzierung und kritischen Bearbeitung eines wirkmächtigen Zukunfts- und Gegenwartsdiskurses bei - ein Diskurs, der im Zusammenhang mit Kontrolle, Angst und Sorge steht, aber auch überraschende Möglichkeiten zu Partizipation, Emanzipation und Utopie bereithält.

Präventionsfantasien

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • In this “profound, resplendent novel”* from Pulitzer Prize–winning author Elizabeth Strout, a chance incident sparks a powerful realization in a beloved teacher’s life. LONGLISTED FOR THE BOOKER PRIZE • ONE OF BARACK OBAMA’S FAVORITE BOOKS OF THE SUMMER “Strout’s capacious empathy and rigorous attention to the nuances of human behavior and psychology are as evident as ever.”—The Boston Globe “Artie Dam is someone you may never be able to forget.”—Financial Times* Artie Dam is living a double life. He spends his days teaching history to eleventh graders, expanding their young minds, correcting their casual cruelties, and lending a kind word to those who need it most. He goes to holiday parties with his wife of three decades, makes small talk with neighbors, and, on weekends, takes his sailboat out on the beautiful Massachusetts Bay. He is, by all appearances, present and alive. But inside, Artie is plagued by feelings of isolation. He looks out at a world gone mad—at himself and the people around him—and turns a question over and over in his mind: How is it that we know so little about one another, even those closest to us? And then, one day, Artie learns that life has been keeping a secret from him, one that threatens to upend his entire world. Once he learns it, he is forced to chart a new course, to reconsider the relationships he holds most dear—and to make peace with the mysteries at the heart of our existence. Elizabeth Strout, as we have come to expect, delivers a moving exploration of the human condition—one that brims with compassion for each and every one of her indelible characters. With exquisite prose and profound insight, The Things We Never Say takes one man’s fears and loneliness and makes them universal. And in the same breath, captures the abiding love that sustains and holds us all.
