This collective volume interprets the texts of Fallada as an expression of the ideology of life which was typical for thebeginnings of themodern period (c. 1890?1955) ? thus differentiating itself distinctly from common analysis practice: The extreme conditions of the protagonists between emphatic and reduced life or the repeated changes of life within a biological life can be explained by this narrative structure and no longer need the recourse to autobiography, although it is true that here someone seems to have lived according to the modern model of living? as if it were literature."

Ernst Junger (1895-1998) ist ein bedeutender Reprasentant der deutschen Geistesgeschichte des 20. Jahrhunderts. Sein umfangreiches Werk polarisiert bis heute Literaturkritik und OEffentlichkeit, insbesondere wegen des z. T. mit Gewalt verherrlichenden Tendenzen beschworenen, aus seiner Nietzsche-Rezeption erwachsenen 'heroischen Nihilismus' des Fruhwerks. Gleichzeitig machen ihn seine Sprach- und Beobachtungskunst, u. a. in seinen Reiseberichten und Tagebuchern, zu einem der wichtigsten Vertreter der neueren deutschen Literatur. Der Band vereint in kompendienhafter Geschlossenheit Analysen zu den wichtigsten Aspekten des Werks, u. a. zu Jungers Kritik an der Moderne und seinem Konzept eines asthetischen Eskapismus, zu den Einflussen von Politik, Literatur, Mythos und Psychoanalyse auf seine Erzahlungen und Romane sowie zur Stellung des Schriftstellers im Denk- und Literatursystem der Moderne. Beitrager sind u. a. Junger-Kenner wie Josef Furnkas, Helmut Lethen, Hans-Harald Muller und Karl Prumm. Der Band stellt eine facettenreiche Gesamtschau der aktuellen Junger-Forschung dar und perspektiviert das wirkmachtige Werk des bedeutenden Schriftstellers mit wissenschaftlicher Sachlichkeit neu.

Throughout his life Ernst Junger tried to identify a significance behind all that happens, even if this should be revealed as dreadful or imbued with some alien meaning . The conference proceedings investigate this search for a historically and ideologically acceptable meaning of both general and personal experience. The volume aims to consider both Junger s political esthetics and his perception of language in the light of the philosophical tradition and the literary conflict between the Romantic and the Modern, following his development from the war diaries through the political journalism of the period between the world wars to the narrative works of the contemporary period. The proposition set out here is that Junger s work represents cultural practices of life and survival, constantly shifting between combat and art and indeed in such a way that both ideological and esthetic aspects are granted equal consideration."
