Literary and Cultural Relations in Germany, Austria and Central Europe since
1989.

Amsterdam/New York, NY 2004. VII, 284 pp. (German Monitor 59)
ISBN:90-420-1891-7
Bound € 65,-
The 15 essays collected here focus on literary and cultural relations
between Germany or Austria on the one hand and the neighbouring countries of
eastern and southern Europe on the other, with particular reference to the
period since the Wende, but also with a glance back to the period of German
division. Topics include the overarching theme of psychological, political,
historical and geographical boundaries and the perspective offered by German
writers from both East and West on Poland, Russia and neighbouring
countries. Equally important to the contributors are specific authors who
have crossed national and cultural borders, such as Libuše Moníková, Irena
Brežna, Richard Wagner and Hans Bergel. The role of memory, Vergangenheit,
time and space are examined in the context of works by Anna Mitgutsch, W G
Sebald, Christoph Ransmayr and Elisabeth Reichart, and the reception of the
theories of Pierre Nora in the German-speaking countries. The re-emergence
of the Right in politics, drama and film forms a further dimension explored
in these essays. Neighbours and Strangers will be of interest to students
and scholars working on contemporary German and Austrian culture.
