    In the Romantic period, women writers developed specific aesthetics and writing strategies in their engagements with climate change and climate catastrophe. Anya Heise-von der Lippe draws on intersectional feminist and ecocritical approaches to highlight gender as a complicating category in Romantic engagements with these topics. She addresses the ways in which gendered critical framings continue to resonate in current Anthropocene discourses that use Romantic conceptualizations of »Nature«, impacting contemporary approaches to the relationship between humans and non-humans in the ongoing climate catastrophe.

    What do literary texts tell us about growing old? The essays in this volume introduce and explore representations of ageing and old age in canonical works of English and postcolonial literature. The contributors examine texts by William Shakespeare, Daniel Defoe, Julian Barnes, Thomas Kinsella, Seamus Heaney, J.M. Coetzee, Alice Munro, Witi Ihimaera and Patricia Grace and, together with a medical study, they suggest solutions to the challenges arising from the current demographic change brought about by ageing Western populations.

    Critical analysis of the dramatisation of homosexuality in British fiction about the Second World War is noticeable only by its relative absence from the field. Whereas feminist literary criticism has broadened the canon of war fiction to include narratives by and about women, queer scholars have seldom focused on literary representations of homosexuality during the war. Natalie Marena Nobitz closes a glaring gap in the critical attention of four novels dealing with the disruption of gender roles and institutionalised heteronormativity: Walter Baxter's Look Down in Mercy (1951), Mary Renault's The Charioteer (1953), Sarah Waters' The Night Watch (2006) and Adam Fitzroy's Make Do and Mend (2012).

    Writings on the metropolis generally foreground illimitability, stressing thereby that the urban ultimately remains both illegible and unintelligible. Instead, the purpose of this interdisciplinary study is to demonstrate that mentality as a tool offers orientation in the urban realm. Nora Pleßke develops a model of urban mentality to be employed for cities worldwide. Against the background of the Spatial Turn, she identifies dominant urban-specific structures of London mentality in contemporary London novels, such as Monica Ali's »Brick Lane«, J.G. Ballard's »Millennium People«, Nick Hornby's »A Long Way Down«, and Ian McEwan's »Saturday«. »An interesting dissection of London mentality and a competent semiotic model for ›deciphering‹ the city.« Stefan A. Eick, Archiv für das Studium der neueren Sprachen und Literaturen, 253/2 (2016) »The Intelligible Metropolis offers an interesting dissection of London mentality and a competent semiotic model for ›deciphering‹ the city.« Stefan Eick, Archiv für das Studium der neueren Sprachen und Literaturen, 253/2 (2016) Besprochen in: The Literary London Journal, 12/1-2 (2015), Bettina Jansen

    Die Gattungsbewegungen der Kriminalliteratur und deren erzählerische Formen sind unauflöslich mit der Herausbildung neuer Wissensordnungen im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert verbunden. Als Kreuzungspunkt dieser epistemischen Ordnungen erscheint die Kriminologie, die sowohl an der Identifizierung des Verbrechens als auch an einem umfangreichen Wissen über Devianzen und Verbrechertypologien arbeitet. Die Beiträge des Bandes verstehen die Genres der Kriminalliteratur als Schauplatz dieser Diskurse und ihrer Inszenierungsmöglichkeiten. Damit rückt das Verhältnis von Techniken der Narration und der Spurensicherung sowie von medialen Praktiken und der Produktion von Subjektpositionen in den Blick. »Dem vorliegenden Sammelband kommt das Verdienst zu, ein sehr breites Spektrum von kriminalliterarischen Textsorten in die Analyse einzubeziehen und für eine wissenshistorische wie auch literaturwissenschaftliche Fragestellung zu öffnen. [Er] erschließt ein sehr ergiebiges literarisches Feld für weiterführende wissenspoetologische und wissenshistorische Fragestellungen.« Veronika Thanner, H-Soz-u-Kult, 12.01.2017 »Dem literaturwissenschaftlich Interessierten bietet ›Kriminalliteratur und Wissensgeschichte‹ eine Fülle neuer Erkenntnisse.« Klaus-Peter Walter, www.literaturkritik.de, 28.07.2016 Besprochen in: www.culturmag.de, 15.03.2016, Thomas Przybilka

    Since the 1990s, the virus and the network metaphors have become increasingly popular, finding application in a broad range of everyday discourses, academic disciplines, and fiction genres. In this book, Rahel Sixta Schmitz defines and discusses a trope recurring in Gothic fiction: the supernatural media virus. This trope comprises the confluence of the virus, the network, and a deep, underlying media anxiety. This study shows how Gothic narratives such as House of Leaves or The Ring feature the supernatural media virus to negotiate as well as actively shape imaginations of the network society and the dangers of a globalized, technologized world.

    »Resonant Alterities« bridges the gap between sound studies and literary criticism. A queer ghost story by Vernon Lee, an occultist novel of psychic adventure by Algernon Blackwood, a dystopian science fiction tale by J.G. Ballard and a post-traumatic short novel by Don DeLillo are its primary objects of analysis. Each is explored within the context of its contemporary cultural debates on sound. Meanwhile, all four theory-enriched readings focus on intersecting and desire-laden processes of meaning making, knowledge production and subject formation. Focal points are aurally/audio-visually structured phenomena expressive of both collective and individual anxieties. Besprochen in: The Chronicle, 01.05.2015

    With the advent of the reformation, concepts of living and dying were profoundly reconfigured. As purgatory disappeared from the spiritual landscape, other paths to the afterlife were rediscovered. Thus, when life draws to a close, the passage to the afterlife becomes a last pilgrimage, a popular early modern metaphor that has received little critical commentary. In a rigorous historical and theological reading, Cyril L. Caspar explores five major English poets - John Donne, Sir Walter Raleigh, George Herbert, Edmund Spenser, and John Milton - to unveil the poetical potential of the last pilgrimage as a life-transcending metaphor.

Im Gegensatz zu Alltags- und Lebensgeschichten, in denen subjektive Wahrheit und Realitätserfahrungen dargestellt werden, zeichnen sich literarische Werke durch ihren Möglichkeitshorizont aus.Auf der Grundlage einer psychoanalytisch erweiterten kultursemiotischen Theorie, in der das Unbewusste nicht als Widervernünftiges, sondern als diagnostisch generatives Kulturmodell verstanden wird, erschließt Hans-Christoph Ramm ausgewählte moderne Romane Großbritanniens als hermeneutische Deutungsräume. Im dialogischen Bezug zwischen Rezipient_innen des dritten Lebensalters und Romanen von Thomas Hardy, D.H. Lawrence und Virginia Woolf zeigt er, wie Fähigkeiten zur Kreativität im Alter auf den Rätselcharakter der Werke treffen.

    With the advent of the reformation, concepts of living and dying were profoundly reconfigured. As purgatory disappeared from the spiritual landscape, other paths to the afterlife were rediscovered. Thus, when life draws to a close, the passage to the afterlife becomes a last pilgrimage, a popular early modern metaphor that has received little critical commentary. In a rigorous historical and theological reading, Cyril L. Caspar explores five major English poets - John Donne, Sir Walter Raleigh, George Herbert, Edmund Spenser, and John Milton - to unveil the poetical potential of the last pilgrimage as a life-transcending metaphor.

    "White trash" is a liminal figure that dramatizes the intersection of race and class. Contemporary British novelists like Irvine Welsh, Niall Griffiths and John King use this originally US-American stereotype to interrogate the racializing discourse of class in British society. Their novels are interdiscursive reflections of the figurations of race and class that still haunt the British cultural imaginary."British White Trash" is the first analysis to comprehensively examine the adaptation of the "white trash" stereotype in major British novels. The study thus contributes to a critical understanding of racism and classism, its cultural representations and its underlying social processes.

    Critical analysis of the dramatisation of homosexuality in British fiction about the Second World War is noticeable only by its relative absence from the field. Whereas feminist literary criticism has broadened the canon of war fiction to include narratives by and about women, queer scholars have seldom focused on literary representations of homosexuality during the war. Natalie Marena Nobitz closes a glaring gap in the critical attention of four novels dealing with the disruption of gender roles and institutionalised heteronormativity: Walter Baxter's Look Down in Mercy (1951), Mary Renault's The Charioteer (1952), Sarah Waters' The Night Watch (2006) and Adam Fitzroy's Make Do and Mend (2012).

    Based on the structured analysis of selected North American novels, this work examines global cities as a literary phenomenon (»DiverCity«). By analyzing Dionne Brand's Toronto, »What We All Long For« (2005), Chang-rae Lee's New York, »Native Speaker« (1995), and Karen Tei Yamashita's Los Angeles, »Tropic of Orange« (1997), Melanie U. Pooch provides the connecting link for exploring the triad of globalization and its effects, global cities as cultural nodal points, and cultural diversity in a globalizing age as a literary phenomenon. Thus, she contributes to a global, interdisciplinary, and multi-perspectival understanding of literature, culture, and society.

    In der romantischen Literatur und Philosophie erscheint »Wahnsinn« nicht als das »Andere der Vernunft«, nicht als Gegenstück zu einer selbstgewissen Rationalität, sondern als eine Verrücktheit, die in der Struktur des Zeichens und also des Sinns angelegt ist. Für Immanuel Kant ist deshalb jeder Mensch potentiell wahnsinnig. Die Erzählungen E.T.A. Hoffmanns und Thomas Carlyles handeln von der strukturellen Verrücktheit des Sinns. Entgegen althergebrachter ideen- und sozialhistorischer Behandlungen der Thematik zeigt diese Studie völlig neue Facetten des Wahnsinns in präzisen Lektüren der Texte von Kant, E.T.A. Hoffmann und Thomas Carlyle.

    Since the 1990s, the virus and the network metaphors have become increasingly popular, finding application in a broad range of everyday discourses, academic disciplines, and fiction genres. In this book, Rahel Sixta Schmitz defines and discusses a trope recurring in Gothic fiction: the supernatural media virus. This trope comprises the confluence of the virus, the network, and a deep, underlying media anxiety. This study shows how Gothic narratives such as House of Leaves or The Ring feature the supernatural media virus to negotiate as well as actively shape imaginations of the network society and the dangers of a globalized, technologized world.

    »Geographies of Love« is the first study to explore the cultural lifeworlds of British, Australian and Indian chick- and ladlit characters. Offering unique case studies including »Bridget Jones's Diary«, »About a Boy« and »Almost Single«, the book explores how women and men search for love and how they commit themselves to romances in specific spaces and places: the home and the office as well as shops, clubs and bars. This cross-disciplinary study provides scholars, students and keen readers with multiple points of access and easily-relatable situations. It applies the complex phenomenon of cultural geographies within the field of literary studies and sheds new light on a most passionate feeling. »[The book] makes most refreshing reading and offers innovative insights into highly complex cultural as well as spatial aspects of romance and their representation in literature one might not have expected in an analysis of the grand universal topic - ›boy meets girl.‹« Kerstin Hamacher-Lubitz, Anglistik, 28/2 (2017) »A highly interesting study.« Kerstin Hamacher-Lubitz, International Journal of English Studies, 28/2 (2017)

    Fiction, we are told, is 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. Friederike Danebrock 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.

    »Resonant Alterities« bridges the gap between sound studies and literary criticism. A queer ghost story by Vernon Lee, an occultist novel of psychic adventure by Algernon Blackwood, a dystopian science fiction tale by J.G. Ballard and a post-traumatic short novel by Don DeLillo are its primary objects of analysis. Each is explored within the context of its contemporary cultural debates on sound. Meanwhile, all four theory-enriched readings focus on intersecting and desire-laden processes of meaning making, knowledge production and subject formation. Focal points are aurally/audio-visually structured phenomena expressive of both collective and individual anxieties. Besprochen in: The Chronicle, 01.05.2015

    With the advent of the reformation, concepts of living and dying were profoundly reconfigured. As purgatory disappeared from the spiritual landscape, other paths to the afterlife were rediscovered. Thus, when life draws to a close, the passage to the afterlife becomes a last pilgrimage, a popular early modern metaphor that has received little critical commentary. In a rigorous historical and theological reading, Cyril L. Caspar explores five major English poets - John Donne, Sir Walter Raleigh, George Herbert, Edmund Spenser, and John Milton - to unveil the poetical potential of the last pilgrimage as a life-transcending metaphor.

    The anticipatory logic of speculation and preemptive politics of risk are increasingly gaining significance in a globalizing neoliberal world. This study traces risk and speculation as aesthetic and political-economic strategies in factual and fictional discourses emerging at the North American Pacific Rim within a decade around 2000. Its exemplary close readings in particular focus on three fictional texts (Kathryn Bigelow's Hollywood film »Strange Days«, 1995, Karen T. Yamashita's novel »Tropic of Orange«, 1997, and Larissa Lai's novel »Salt Fish Girl«, 2002) whose intricate aesthetics pass perceptive critique on concurrent political-economic discourses and their subtle reconfiguration of race, class, and gender. The speculative near-future scenarios projected by these artifacts expose the rise of risk as a new rationality of governance. At the same time they illustrate neoliberal speculation as a new paradigm of subject formation at a hyper-capitalist, millennial Pacific Rim.

    Which of the possible futures might be a good future, and how do we know? Stephanie Bender looks at contemporary films and novels to address major ethical challenges of the future: the ecological catastrophe, digitalisation and biotechnology. She proposes that fiction and its modes of aesthetic simulation and emotional engagement offer a different way of knowing and judging possible futures. From a critical posthumanist angle, she discusses works ranging from Don DeLillo's Zero K (2017) and Margaret Atwood's MaddAddam Trilogy (2003-2013) to Kim Stanley Robinson's New York 2140, Avatar (2009), and Blade Runner 2049 (2017) among many others.

    We live at a critical moment in history, often called the »Anthropocene«, that is defined by unprecedented scales of uncertainty. Natalie Dederichs draws on insights from the new materialisms about the entangled nature of planetary existence and combines them with approaches to aesthetics from fields as diverse as reader-response criticism, phenomenology, Gothic and media studies. She introduces a poetics of atmospheric re(lation)ality as a necessary component of any ecological engagement with fiction that fully embraces literary encounters with the inaccessible and elusive as expressed in uncanny atmospheric reading experiences.

    Viele beschwören das Lesen als unverzichtbare Kulturtechnik - aber was wissen wir eigentlich über diese soziale Praxis? In der Gegenwart kann man das Lesen in vielen Kontexten beobachten, die dieser Essay zu exemplarischen »Szenen« arrangiert: Wird schnell oder langsam, einsam oder gemeinsam gelesen? Suchen wir in Lektüren Neues oder Bekanntes; füllen wir Wissensspeicher oder überlassen uns dem Eigensinn von Textwelten? Und worin besteht für wen die Lust am Lesen? Julika Griem erprobt, wie sich Lesemotive, -fähigkeiten und -technologien zwischen Instagram und Proseminar, Bibliotherapie und Blinkist als soziale Anordnungen so beschreiben lassen, dass eingespielte Bewertungsmuster hinterfragt werden.

    Psychoanalyse und neuer Materialismus scheinen zwei sich ausschließende theoretische und methodische Perspektiven zu sein. Steht bei der ersten das Subjekt im Fokus, ist es bei der zweiten ausgestrichen. Wird bei der ersten das Objekt in Relation zum Subjekt gedacht, soll es bei der zweiten aus dieser Abhängigkeit befreit werden. Die Beiträger*innen beschäftigen sich mit einer produktiven Verbindung von Psychoanalyse und neuem Materialismus. Sie loten sie anhand von Literatur, Film und Kunst aus und machen damit neue praxeologische Verbindungslinien für die Geisteswissenschaften sichtbar.

    In the 1990s, the male confessional novel, most prominently represented by Nick Hornby (»High Fidelity«), but also by writers such as Tim Lott (»White City Blue«) and Mike Gayle (»My Legendary Girlfriend«), articulated the structure of feeling of the male generation in their late twenties/early-to-mid-thirties. The book presents the advent of the male confessional novel in a fresh and yet critical light, challenging the feminist claim that the genre should be understood as a backlash against feminism and a relapse into sexism. By applying an eclectic theoretical framework, ranging from Raymond Williams to Anthony Giddens, Judith Butler and Jacques Derrida, the study illustrates why the male confessional novel is too complex a phenomenon to be solely interpreted in terms of retrosexism. It convincingly shows how the multitude of postmodern gender scripts adds to the crisis of identity and to the problematic nature of clearly defined gender relationships. »Mit ›Lad Trouble‹ legt Andrea Ochsner eine sehr breit angelegte Studie vor, die die Konstruktion von Maskulinität in der britischen ›male confessional novel‹ der 1990er überzeugend analysiert und intelligent kontextualisiert.« Anna Beck, KULT_online, 24 (2010) Reviewed in: Zeitschrift für Anglistik und Amerikanistik (ZAA), 58/4 (2010), Elahe Haschemi Yekani IASL online.de, 01.03.2011, Dirk Schulz
