The present volume is targeted at an interdisciplinary audience,
i.e. partly at literary scholars/narratologists interested in time
theory outside their field, and partly at scholars outside literary
studies who in turn would like to learn more about such concepts
created in narrative theory. The anthology assembles both
English-speaking and German contributions to a narrative theory of
time constructs which have thus far not been translated into
English, but have - directly or indirectly - inspired the
theoretical discourse across disciplines. The common methodological
focus of the articles assembled here concerns the way in which the
experience of chronological structure and ordering in (experienced
or imagined) phenomena can be traced back to a logic of time
"constructs". Narrative time constructs - that is: models of
chronological ordering which we generate while processing
narratively encoded information - constitute a particularly rich
body of examples. How we experience time is directly linked to how
we narrate information, and how we re-construct principles of
temporal ordering in the narrated content. The logic of narrative
time constructs has therefore been of interest not only to
narrative theory, but also to philosophy and cognitive science, and
more recently to computational approaches toward modelling human
time experience.
This anthology presents the results of the Second International
Colloquium of the Narratology Research Group (Hamburg University).
It engages in the exploration of approaches that broaden
Narratology's realm. The contributions illustrate the transcendence
of traditional models common to Narratology. They also reflect on
the relevance of such a 'going beyond' as seen in more general
terms: What interrelation can be observed between re-definition of
object domain and re-definition of method? What potential
interfaces with other methods and disciplines does the proposed
innovation offer? Finally, what are the repercussions of the
proposed innovation in terms of Narratology's self-definition? The
innovative volume facilitates the inter-methodological debate
between Narratology and other disciplines, enabling the
conceptualization of a Narratology beyond traditional Literary
Criticism.
"Computing Action" takes a new approach to the phenomenon of
narrated action in literary texts. It begins with a survey of
philosophical approaches to the concept of action, ranging from
analytical to transcendental and finally constructivist
definitions. This leads to the formulation of a new model of
action, in which the core definitions developed in traditional
structuralist narratology and Greimassian semiotics are
reconceptualised in the light of constructivist theories. In the
second part of the study, the combinatory model of action proposed
is put into practice in the context of a computer-aided
investigation of the action constructs logically implied by
narrative texts. Two specialised literary computing tools were
developed for the purposes of this investigation of textual data:
EVENTPARSER, an interactive tool for parsing events in literary
texts, and EPITEST, a tool for subjecting the mark-up files thus
produced to a combinatory analysis of the episode and action
constructs they contain. The third part of the book presents a case
study of Goethe's "Unterhaltungen deutscher Ausgewanderten". Here,
the practical application of theory and methodology eventually
leads to a new interpretation of Goethe's famous Novellenzyklus as
a systematic experiment in the narrative construction of action -
an experiment intended to demonstrate not only Goethe's aesthetic
principles, but also, and more fundamentally, his epistemological
convictions.
Diese Monografie ist die erste umfassende
literaturwissenschaftliche Analyse des Gesamtwerks des
Schriftstellers, Journalisten, Fotografen und Dokumentarfilmers
Heinrich Hauser (1901-1955). Im Fokus steht eine fur die erste
Halfte des 20. Jahrhunderts typische Schlusselfrage nach dem
Verhaltnis zwischen Mensch und Maschine. Die Autorin beleuchtet das
kunstlerische Schaffen Hausers vor dem Hintergrund seiner ideen-
und kulturgeschichtlichen Provenienz und zeigt, wie Hauser in
seinen Werken den allgemeinen Krisendiskurs der Moderne aufgreift.
Daruber hinaus liefert die Publikation einen kritischen Einblick in
die Biografie eines Vertreters des Literatursystems der Weimarer
Republik, der NS-Zeit und des Exils, der sich einer vereinfachenden
Kategorisierung der Literaturgeschichte entzieht.
The volume presents an introduction to the work of the writer Leo
Perutz (1882a "1957). Each of the ten chapters deals with one of
Perutza (TM) novels, from Die dritte Kugel [The third bullet]
through to Der Judas des Leonardo [Leonardoa (TM)s Judas]. In
addition to the textual analyses, the volume contains a hitherto
unpublished novella and a comprehensive bibliography. In its
approach, the volume makes a case for a way of dealing with
literary texts which combines structuralist and hermeneutical
traditions. Each of the chapters proceeds from a reconstruction of
the structure of a text to its interpretation.
Diese Einfuhrung vermittelt die Grundlagen der Erzahltheorie und
gibt eine Anleitung zum praktischen Umgang mit Erzahlliteratur. Sie
erklart die verschiedenen Aspekte der Erzahltextanalyse (Zeit,
Erzahler, Modus, Stimme etc.) anhand von zahlreichen Textbeispielen
und Musterinterpretationen. Dabei legen die Autor/innen einen
weiten Begriff von Erzahltext zugrunde, der neben dem Kernbereich
der fiktionalen Erzahlliteratur auch andere Erzahlformen und
-medien umfasst. Mit Definitionen, zahlreichen Textbeispielen und
Interpretationen. Fur die dritte Auflage wurde der Band generell
durchgesehen sowie aktualisiert und um Kapitel zur digitalen
Textanalyse sowie zur Analyse von Comics erweitert.
