    Notes:

    Main description: There is no more powerful symbol in American political life than the presidency, and the image of presidential power has had no less profound an impact on American fiction. A Pinnacle of Feeling is the first book to examine twentieth-century literature's deep fascination with the modern presidency and with the ideas about the relationship between state power and democracy that underwrote the rise of presidential authority. Sean McCann challenges prevailing critical interpretations through revelatory new readings of major writers, including Richard Wright, Gertrude Stein, Henry Roth, Zora Neale Hurston, Saul Bellow, Ralph Ellison, Norman Mailer, Don Delillo, and Philip Roth. He argues that these writers not only represented or satirized presidents, but echoed political thinkers who cast the chief executive as the agent of the sovereign will of the American people. They viewed the president as ideally a national redeemer, and they took that ideal as a model and rival for their own work. A Pinnacle of Feeling illuminates the fundamental concern with democratic sovereignty that informs the most innovative literary works of the twentieth century, and shows how these works helped redefine and elevate the role of executive power in American culture

    Dieses Buch ist der Versuch, die Beziehung von Literatur und Kultur auf der Grundlage eines ökologisch definierten Funktionsmodells literarischer Texte näher zu bestimmen und an Beispielen des amerikanischen Romans zu erläutern. In dem hier vorgeschlagenen Ansatz spielt die Dimension des Ästhetischen, die in neueren kulturwissenschaftlichen Textzugängen eher unterbelichtet blieb, eine konstitutive Rolle. Es geht nicht primär um eine inhaltliche Untersuchung der Literatur auf ökologische Themen. Es geht vielmehr um Analogien zwischen ökologischen Prozessen und den spezifischen Strukturen und kulturellen Wirkungsweisen der literarischen Imagination. These des Buchs ist es, daß Literatur sich in Analogie zu einem ökologischen Prinzip oder einer ökologischen Kraft innerhalb des größeren Systems ihrer Kultur verhält. Dieser Ansatz wird im ersten Teil theoretisch entwickelt und zunächst im Rahmen gegenwärtiger, vor allem im angloamerikanischen Raum sich abzeichnender Tendenzen zu einer Literary Ecology situiert, danach in den Kontext anderer funktionsorientierter Literaturtheorien gestellt und schließlich in einem kulturökologischen Funktionsmodell imaginativer Texte zusammengefaßt. Im zweiten Teil wird die Reichweite und Tragfähigkeit dieses Modells an sechs repräsentativen amerikanischen Romanen aus verschiedenen Epochen demonstriert: Nathaniel Hawthorne, »The Scarlet Letter«; Herman Melville, »Moby-Dick«; Mark Twain, »The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn«; Kate Chopin, »The Awakening«; Toni Morrison, »Beloved«; Don DeLillo, »Underworld«

    In The Twilight of the Middle Class, Andrew Hoberek challenges the commonly held notion that post-World War II American fiction eschewed the economic for the psychological or the spiritual. Reading works by Ayn Rand, Ralph Ellison, Saul Bellow, Phillip Roth, Flannery O'Connor, Thomas Pynchon, Don DeLillo, and others, he shows how both the form and content of postwar fiction responded to the transformation of the American middle class from small property owners to white-collar employees. In the process, he produces "compelling new accounts of identity politics and postmodernism that will be of

    This book reevaluates fiction devoted to the postwar American suburb, examining the way these works imagine suburbia as a communal structure designed to advance a particular American identity. Postmodern Suburban Spaces surveys works by both canonical chroniclers of the middle class experience, such as Richard Yates and John Cheever, and those who reflect suburbia’s demographic reality, including Gloria Naylor and Chang-rae Lee, to uncover a surprising reconfiguration of the suburban experience. Tracing major forms of suburban associations - racial divisions, property lines, the family, and ethnic fealty - these works depict a different mode of interaction than the stereotypical white picket fences. Joseph George draws from philosophers such as Emmanuel Levinas and Roberto Esposito to argue that these fictions assert a critical hospitality that frustrates the limited forms of association on which suburbia is based. This fiction, in turn, posits an ethical form of community that comes about when people share space together Introduction Nowhere to Now Here -- Chapter One: Against Fence Thinking -- Chapter Two: My Home is Your Home -- Chapter Three: Domesticated Strangers -- Chapter Four: American Means Being Whatever You Want -- Conclusion: The Second Suburban Century -- Works Cited

    Authors not only create artworks. In the process of creating, they simultaneously bring to life their author personae. Approaching this phenomenon from an interdisciplinary point of view, Sonja Longolius develops a concept of »performative authorship« by examining different strategies of becoming an author. In regard to the notion of her concept, this work offers a critical and comparative analysis of the works of Paul Auster, Candice Breitz, Sophie Calle, and Jonathan Safran Foer. Specifically, Auster/Calle and Breitz/Foer form a generational pair of opposites, enabling a discussion of postmodern and post-postmodern artistic strategies of »performative authorship«.

    The book is a study of the most recent American fiction, published at the turn of the 21th century, which demonstrates a renewed interest in the matters of history. Using the concepts of memory and experience, the author points at the ways in which subjective history has been created in the new «novel about history», written by such authors as William Gass, Richard Powers, Marilynne Robinson, Nicholson Baker, Aleksandar Hemon, and Jeffrey Eugenides. Theoretically, the study has been inspired by the works of Aleida Assmann, Hayden White, Reinhart Koselleck, Frank Ankersmit, and Dominick LaCapra.

    ***Angaben zur beteiligten Person Bönisch: Dr. Dana Bönisch ist wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin am Institut für Germanistik, Vergleichende Literatur- und Kulturwissenschaft / Abteilung für Komparatistik an der Universität Bonn. Zuvor arbeitete sie als Kulturjournalistin und veröffentlichte Kurzprosa und einen Roman. ***Angaben zur beteiligten Person Baumann: Prof. Dr. Uwe Baumann lehrt Anglistik/Amerikanistik: Literatur- und Kulturwissenschaft an der Universität Bonn. Der vorliegende Band nimmt eine Kopplung von Bild- und Raumtheorie vor, die den missing links zwischen beiden Bereichen nachspürt und sie gleichzeitig in Beziehung zu Erzählungen setzt. Aus dieser Verquickung wird erstmals eine Poetik asymmetrischer Kriegsführung im Zeitalter der Drohne entwickelt, die gemeinsame motivische Knotenpunkte in Fiktion, Theorie und medialem Diskurs in den Blick nimmt. Ausgangsmaterial ist eine zweite, bislang nahezu unbeachtet gebliebene Generation von Post-9/11-Romanen, die sich den globalen Kriegen der letzten Jahrzehnte zuwendet. Dabei werden verschiedene Wissens-, Raum- und Blickordnungen verhandelt: von den stabilen Distanzen des euklidischen Raums zu den fluiden Koordinatennetzen der Topologie; von der Fernsicht des elektronischen Live-Feeds der Drohne zu Deleuzes vision rapprochée; und von den ikonischen Bildformeln des jungen Jahrtausends zu ihren Gegenentwürfen in der Literatur. The present volume combines the theories of view and space. At the same time, it examines the missing links between these fields and puts them in a narrative context. For the first time, these links develop poetics of asymmetrical warfare in the era of drones which focuses on commonalities in fiction, theory and media discourse. It is based on a second, almost unnoticed generation of post 9/11 novels which dedicate themselves with global wars of the last decades. Here, different scientific, space and view orders are being discussed. It ranges from the stable distances of the Euclidean space to the fluid coordinate nets of topology, from the distance vision of the electronic realtime video feeds of drones to the vision rapprochée of Deleuze, and from the iconic image formulas of the young millennium to its alternatives in literature.

    This interdisciplinary study examines the still vivid phenomenon of the most controversial psychiatric diagnosis in the United States: multiple personality disorder, now called dissociative identity disorder. This syndrome comprehends the occurrence of two or more distinct identities that take control of a person's behavior paired with an inexplicable memory loss. Synthesizing the fields of psychiatry and the dynamics of the disorder with its influential representation in American fiction, the study researches how psychiatry and fiction mutually shaped a mysterious syndrome and how this reciprocal process created a genre fiction of its own that persists until today in a very distinct self-referential mode.

    This book focuses on the pivotal role which space and spatiality assume in plot and narrative discourse of contemporary U.S.-American literary narratives. Embarking from a new, spatialized approach to cultural history and particularly narrative theory that might also prove useful for neighboring philologies, Marcel Thoene hypothesizes that the canon of novels selected represents a dialectic of simultaneous affirmation and subversion of the American space myth. This results in an integrative and emancipatory function of space reflecting the current dynamic toward a more transcultural, diverse and conflictive post-national U.S.-American society.

    Bryan M. Santin examines over a half-century of intersection between American fiction and postwar conservatism. He traces the shifting racial politics of movement conservatism to argue that contemporary perceptions of literary form and aesthetic value are intrinsically connected to the rise of the American Right. Instead of casting postwar conservatives as cynical hustlers or ideological fanatics, Santin shows how the long-term rhetorical shift in conservative notions of literary value and prestige reveal an aesthetic antinomy between high culture and low culture. This shift, he argues, registered and mediated the deeper foundational antinomy structuring postwar conservatism itself: the stable social order of traditionalism and the creative destruction of free-market capitalism. Postwar conservatives produced, in effect, an ambivalent double register in the discourse of conservative literary taste that sought to celebrate neo-aristocratic manifestations of cultural capital while condemning newer, more progressive manifestations revolving around racial and ethnic diversity.

    Adventurous, engaging and politically urgent, contemporary American novels have come to enjoy a particular prestige and, through university courses, film adaptations and cultural controversies, a global circulation. This book provides a critical introduction to novels produced in the United States between 1980 and the present. Compact yet wide-ranging, and written in vivid, accessible prose, it registers the diversity of contemporary American fiction and carefully situates this work in historical contexts that include Reaganomics, the Clinton years and the post-9/11 'War on Terror'.

    This title traces the development of 'Ecosickness fiction' through an assessment of contemporary U.S. novels and memoirs. It describes how the 1970s brought about a new understanding of the biological and intellectual impacts that environmental crisis can have on human beings. It shows that at this time, as efforts to prevent ecological and bodily injury aligned, a new literature of sickness emerged. It explains that this 'Ecosickness fiction' imaginatively rethinks the link between environmental threats and the sick body to bring readers to environmental consciousness.

    Alan Gibbs examines the way American writers present the effects of trauma in their work. Trauma has become an important and influential paradigm for reading contemporary American literature. Too often, however, criticism has adopted narrow models of trauma, resulting in increasingly formulaic and clichéd interpretations. This study understands trauma on a wider basis than Freudian psychoanalysis, incorporating theories drawn from fields including narratology, in order to analyse devices characteristically employed by writers in order to represent and, often, to mimic the effects of trauma.
