    Published: 2013

    Of late the term Iberian Studies has been gaining academic currency, but its semantic scope still fluctuates. For some it is a convenient way of combining the official cultures of two states, Portugal and Spain; yet for others the term opens up disciplinary space, altering established routines. A relational approach to Iberian Studies shatters the state’s epistemological frame and complexifies the field through the emergence of lines of inquiry and bodies of knowledge hitherto written off as irrelevant. This timely volume brings together contributions from leading international scholars who demonstrate the cultural and linguistic complexity of the field by reflecting on the institutional challenges to the practice of Iberian Studies. As such, the book will be required reading for all those working in the field

    Nat Turner's slave rebellion is a watershed event in America's long and troubled history of slavery and racial conflict. Nat Turner: A Troublesome Property tells the story of that violent confrontation and of the ways that story has been continuously re-told during the years since 1831. It is a film about a critical moment in American history and of the multiple ways in which that moment has since been remembered. Nat Turner was a "troublesome property" for his master and he has remained a "troublesome property" for the historians, novelists, dramatists, artists and many others who have struggled to understand him. To emphasize the fictive component of historical reconstruction, the film adopts an innovative structure: interspersing documentary footage and interviews with dramatizations of different versions of the story, using a new actor to represent Nat Turner in each version.

    Human sacrifice, a spirited heroine, a quest ending in a hairsbreadth escape, the touching reunion of long-lost siblings and exquisite poetry - these features have historically made Euripides' 'Iphigenia in Tauris' one of the most influential of Greek tragedies. With this book, Edith Hall provides a much-needed cultural history of this play, giving as much weight to the impact of the play on subsequent Greek and Roman art and literature as on its manifestations since the discovery of the sole surviving medieval manuscript in the 1500s

Zur Analyse wurden Kurt Vonneguts Slaughterhouse-Five, Penelope Livelys Moon Tiger, Michael Ondaatjes The English Patient, und Ian McEwans Atonement herangezogen. Obwohl diese Romane in unterschiedlichen Jahrzehnten nach dem 2. Weltkrieg veröffentlicht wurden, können sie alle dem postmodernen Genre der ?Historiographischen Metafiktion? zugeordnet werden und ähneln sich strukturell und thematisch in vielfältiger Weise. So weisen sie etwa ein gemeinsames Interesse am Prozess des Geschichtenerzählens und der Suche nach Bedeutung in der Vergangenheit auf. Im theoretischen Teil dieser Arbeit werden die Grenzen zwischen Fakt und Fiktion in Geschichtsschreibung und Literatur untersucht und die Entwicklung hin zu einer postmodernen Ästhetik erörtert. Der Begriff "historiographische Metafiktion" wird ebenfalls definiert. Im Weiteren wird argumentiert, dass der 2. Weltkrieg eine Entwicklung zu mehr Relativismus und größerem Misstrauen gegenüber totalisierenden Ideologien eröffnete, was sich in selbst-reflektierender, metafiktionaler Literatur widerspiegelte. Der letzte Abschnitt des theoretischen Teils beschäftigt sich schließlich mit einigen Begriffen aus der Erinnerungsforschung. Erinnerung ist bedeutend, weil das erinnernde Selbst nur durch diese mit den Ereignissen, die es beschreibt, verbunden ist ? doch das Gedächtnis ist oft fragmentiert, unvollständig, fließend und veränderlich. Im Analyseteil der Arbeit wurden die Werke nach ihrer Darstellung von Geschichte, Erinnerung und Fiktion ebenso wie nach der Repräsentation des 2. Weltkrieges untersucht. Die Romane veranschaulichen die gegenseitige Abhängigkeit von Geschichte, Gesellschaft und persönlichem Erzählen und versuchen, Vergangenheit neu zu denken, indem sie die Aufmerksamkeit auf deren Textualität lenken. eng: This thesis examines how history, memory and war are presented in four selected novels published since World War Two: Kurt Vonnegut?s Slaughterhouse-Five, Penelope Lively?s Moon Tiger, Michael Ondaatje?s The English Patient, and Ian McEwan?s Atonement. Although these authors wrote their texts in different decades after the Second World War, their novels all belong to the postmodern genre of ?historiographic metafiction? and resemble each other structurally and thematically in various ways, such as a shared interest in the act of storytelling, and the search for meaning in the past. The theoretical part of this thesis explores the borders between fact and fiction in historiography and in literature, and traces the development towards a postmodern aesthetic. The term ?historiographic metafiction? is also defined and discussed in this section. The argument is made that Word War II opened a door for more relativism and distrust of totalizing ideologies, which is reflected in self-conscious, metafictional literature. The last section of the theoretical part introduces some terms related to memory studies. Memory is important because the narrating self is removed from the events it describes; it can access those events only through memory ? but memory is often fragmented, fluid, incomplete, and changeable. In the analyses, each novel is examined for its treatment of questions related to history, memory and fiction, as well as for its representation of WWII. The novels all illustrate that story-telling can never be disinterested or objective, because the storyteller ? or narrating-I ? is never without self-interest: self-narration is always inevitably tied to one?s identity or self-conception. The novels also highlight the interdependence of history, society, and personal narrative and seek to re-conceptualize the past by drawing attention to its textuality.
