Описание: Satirizing Modernism examines 20th-century novels that satirize avant-garde artists and authors while also using experimental techniques associated with literary modernism. These novels—such as Wyndham Lewis’s The Apes of God, William Gaddis’s The Recognitions, and Gilbert Sorrentino’s Imaginative Qualities of Actual Things—were under-recognized and received poor reviews at the time of publication, but have increasingly been acknowledged as both groundbreaking and deeply influential. Satirizing Modernism analyzes these novels in order to present an alternative account of literary modernism, which should be viewed neither as a radical break with the past nor an outmoded set of aesthetics overtaken by a later postmodernism. In self-reflexively critiquing their own aesthetics, these works express an unconventional modernism that both revises literary history and continues to be felt today.

Описание:
«This book is pertinent reading for anyone interested in understanding how the continuing legacy of the Nazi period shapes the German-speaking world today and affects non-White Germans. Rupprecht’s study thus represents a humanistic-political intervention in the face of resurging racism and illusions of racial purity in public discourse that excludes Asian Germans from the nation.» (Sabine von Dirke, German Studies Review, 44.3, Oct. 2021)
«Rupprecht takes an important ethical stance and aims to create a discursive space and theoretical framework for racism against East Asians. [...] Rupprecht’s call for recognizing that German minorities – Jews, Blacks, or Asians – have 'the right to belong' is especially urgent at a moment when the New Right is on the rise.» (Qinna Shen, Monatshefte, 113.2, 2021)
«Rupprechts gelungene Kapitel-Aufteilung in Parallel-, Konvergenz- und Diskordanzbewegungen entspricht folglich dem Kompositionsprinzip der Fuge, jeder Teil ist kontrapunktisch in ‘call-and-response’ strukturiert. […] Entscheidend ist allerdings, dass Rupprechts Vorgehensweise ma?gebend zu einer vom Nationalterritorium losgel?sten, ‘kosmopolitischen’ Literaturgeschichte beitr?gt.» (Linda Koiran, The German Quarterly, 93.4, Fall 2020)
«Whereas considerable asymmetries in magnitude between categories of ‘the German’ and ‘the Asian’ might intimidate, Rupprecht crafts focused and engrossing sets of literary and artistic, intergenerational and interethnic dialogues to limn resources for (re)imagining integrative possibilities amid existing (East) Asian German cultural connections.» (Matthew D. Miller, Symposium: A Quarterly Journal in Modern Literatures, 75.4, 2021)
«Asian Fusion is a remarkably original book that delineates an exciting new field: Asian-German cultural studies. Using an innovative call-and-response model, Rupprecht records the responses of contemporary Asian-German writers to the ‹calls› made by a preceding generation of German artists and writers (Joseph Beuys, Peter Weiss, W. G. Sebald) toward Asia. A compelling and authoritative work!» (John Zilcosky, author of Kafka’s Travels and Uncanny Encounters: Literature, Psychoanalysis and the End of Alterity)
«In Asian Fusion, Caroline Rupprecht ingeniously pairs three postwar German authors who engaged with Asia with three award-winning Asian-German writers, constructing compelling intergenerational dialogues between Sebald and Tawada, Weiss and Pham, and Beuys and Kim. Taking the Shoah as a point of departure and a point of reference, the book shoulders the intellectual as well as ethical responsibilities of addressing racism in Germany. A great read and a major contribution to Asian-German Studies!» (Qinna Shen, Chair and Associate Professor of German, Bryn Mawr College)
This book contributes to a historically evolving conversation about immigration as a facet of globalization in the European context. Focusing on literary and artistic works from the post–World War II era, the author uses a «call-and-response» structure – as in African-American slave songs, Indian kirtans, and Jewish liturgy – to create a series of dialogues between Asian-German authors, including Yoko Tawada, Pham Thi Ho?i, and Anna Kim, and an earlier generation of German-speaking authors and artists whose works engaged with «Asia,» including W. G. Sebald, Peter Weiss, and Joseph Beuys.
Considering the recent successes of the New Right, which have brought about a regression to Nazi anti-Semitic discourses grounded in the equation between Jews and «Orientals,» the author advocates a need for solidarity between Germans and Asian-Germans. Using «fusion» as a metaphor, she revises the critical paradigms of Orientalism and postcolonial studies to show how, in the aftermath of the twelve-year Nazi dictatorship, Germany has succe
Описание: A study of the experimental novel of the postwar period in Britain that rethinks the resurgence of the literary avant-garde that occurred in these decades and explains its implications for the history of the novel and late modernism more broadly.
At Macedonio Fernбndez's funeral in 1952, Jorge Luis Borges delivered the following elegy: "In those years I imitated him to the point of transcription, to the point of devout and passionate plagiarism. I felt: Macedonio is metaphysics, Macedonio is literature." This is the first book available in English that collects essays by the world's leading scholars on Macedonio Fernбndez, one of Borges's most important mentors and a still enigmatic thinker of the early 20th century. Macedonio's philosophy, metaphysics, ethics, and experimental writing laid the foundations for Borges's own theoretical and literary matrix. Nonetheless, Borges helped shape a myth of Macedonio as a thinker who could not translate his oratorial geniality into written intelligibility. So, despite the centrality of Macedonio to Borges's thought, his work has remained almost unknown to English-speaking readers.
Contributors to this volume demonstrate, however, that this myth reduces the complexities of Macedonio's life and creative process, as each chapter shines new light on his texts. Conceived as both a companion for new readers of Macedonio's writings and an invitation for specialists to revisit his work through new perspectives, essays in this volume provide extensive background and bibliographical references, as well as English translations of Macedonio's original texts. This collection seeks to serve as a catalyst for the continued discovery and rediscovery of Macedonio Fernбndez's texts and the ways they might help us to rediscover the singularities of our own present moment.
