    Die zeitgenössische Kultur zeichnet sich durch einen großen Hunger nach Erzählungen von Verbrechen aus. Romane, Sachbücher, Filme, Serien oder Podcasts, die sich mit realen oder fiktiven Morden, Betrugsaktionen oder spektakulären Diebstählen beschäftigen, finden ein breites Publikum und werden oft zum Gegenstand der öffentlichen Faszination. Die Beiträge des Bandes spüren diesem narrativen Bedürfnis nach und stellen die Frage, was es ästhetisch und ethisch bedeutet, dass die Kriminalerzählung zur Leitgattung der Gegenwart geworden ist. ; Contemporary culture is characterised by a peculiar desire for crime narratives. Novels, non-fiction books, films, TV series or podcasts that deal with real or fictional murders, acts of fraud or spectacular thefts attract a wide audience and often become the object of public fascination. The contributions to this volume trace this hunger for crime stories and evaluate both the aesthetic and ethical significance of them having become one of today's leading narrative genres.

    Trauma has become a hotly contested topic in literary studies. But interest in trauma is not new; its roots extend to the Romantic period, when novelists and the first psychiatrists influenced each others' investigations of the "wounded mind". This book looks back to these early attempts to understand trauma, reading a selection of Romantic novels in dialogue with Romantic and contemporary psychiatry. It then carries that dialogue forward to postmodern fiction, examining further how empirical approaches can deepen our theorizations of trauma. Within an interdisciplinary framework, this study reveals fresh insights into the poetics, politics, and ethics of trauma fiction.

    Fiction is generally understood to be a fascinating, yet somehow deficient affair, merely derivative of reality. What if we could, instead, come up with an affirmative approach that takes stories seriously in their capacity to bring forth a substance of their own? Iconic texts such as Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and its numerous adaptations stubbornly resist our attempts to classify them as mere representations of reality. The author shows how these texts insist that we take them seriously as agents and interlocutors in our world- and culture-making activities. Drawing on this analysis, she develops a theory of narrative fiction as a generative practice.
