Although W.G. Sebald established a link between the life and work
of Alfred Andersch, which became the subject of a scandal, his
approach was strongly rejected by many, especially in Germany, as
an inadmissible combination of fundamentally different aspects. It
thus remains unclear to this day how literary construction and
autobiographical material are actually related in the case of
Andersch. Literary scholars and historians are now working closely
on resolving the issue. Their findings, presented in this volume,
will be of interest to all those who occupy themselves with the
problems and merits of post-war German literature.
The debate on the use and drawbacks of the sociology of literature
unleashed by Bourdieua (TM)s seminal work a oeThe Rules of Arta was
mainly conducted here on an abstract level. The present volume
contains a collection of papers sounding out the applicability of
field theory to literary studies. The authors, from Germany,
Austria, and Switzerland, present theory-led textually based
analyses of the present-day literature and culture business.
In Germany, the debate about the pros and cons of advanced literary
sociology sparked off by Pierre Bourdieu's basic work AThe Rules of
ArtA has mostly taken place on an abstract level. The present
volume is the first collection of essays in German to discuss the
applications of field theory for the study of literature in a
practical way. The essays are theory-driven but
empirically-oriented researches by authors from France, England,
Germany, Austria and Switzerland on examples of literature and
literary life from the 17th to the 20th century. These
contributions extend Bourdiean analysis in a geographical,
historical and thematic sense, and constitute, where necessary, a
critique and/or further development of his ideas.
