    Other ; Mit Hilfe des zeitgenössischen Romans 'The Circle' von Dave Eggers werden Entgrenzungs- und Verdichtungstendenzen moderner subjektivierter Arbeit illustriert, die einen Zusammenhang mit Burnout- und Erschöpfungsdepressionsdiagnosen plausibilisieren. Angesichts der Uneindeutigkeit der empirischen Evidenz wird vorgeschlagen, die Problematik der modernen Gestalt der Erwerbsarbeit – vor allem für diejenigen am unteren Ende der jeweiligen Hierarchien – nicht nur anhand ihrer Krankheitsträchtigkeit, sondern mit Hilfe des Konzepts der Lebensformen und ihrer normativen Aufladung zu kritisieren: Massiv entgrenzte und verdichtete Arbeit erscheint dann als Bruch des 'Arbeitsversprechens', das sich mit Entstehung der Arbeitsgesellschaft im 19. Jh. herausgebildet hat. ; Other ; Tendencies of a compression of labour and the blurring of the boundaries between leisure and work are illustrated by examples from Dave Eggers' novel 'The Circle'. Those tendencies plausibilize a link between modern forms of employment and the increase in bournout and depression diagnosis. Since the empirical evidence for those links remains insufficient to support the intuition that those forms of work are problematic, a different and ethical access to a critical view on modern forms of employment is proposed.

    Abstract ; This thesis explores some of the most predominant strategies that Iranian-American autobiographers employ in constructing their identities. Unable to relocate to a post-revolutionary Iran and facing ongoing discrimination in the USA, Iranian Americans are precariously suspended between cultures and have to answer the question, “What does it mean to be Iranian-American?” In order to gain insight into the self-constructions of Iranian Americans, I examine thirteen autobiographies from a text and communication pragmatics perspective, and include additional material from ten further memoirs.

  6. Selling Poverty: Junot Díaz’s and Edwidge Danticat’s Assessments of Picturesque Stereotypes of Poverty in the Caribbean

    Abstract: Taking the topos of the Caribbean as paradise as point of departure, this article analyses how Edwidge Danticat’s Claire of the Sea Light and Junot Díaz’s The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao re-write the stereotype of the paradisiacal and picturesque islands. This entails that literary texts and novels, as a form of armchair tourism, potentially offer a form of engagement with poverty in which the voyeuristic gaze can be deflected. Complex literary texts can be a ‘safer’ form of exploring, vicariously experiencing, and thinking about poverty
