Paperback. Condition: New. This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the writing of Monika Maron. Her biography charts a complex relationship with the GDR state, from initial ideological identification to sustained, radical rejection. Situating its reflections on her work against the backdrop of a changing critical landscape, this analysis takes account of the re-contextualisation of her writing necessitated by the collapse of the GDR. The author charts the development of a number of seminal themes in Maron's ouvre. The search for an authentic form of expression in her earliest texts gave way to a focus on the writing and the rewriting of history. The demise of the political system in 1989 led to an exploration in her work of more intimate themes. Maron's post-Wende writing makes an important East German contribution to debates on memory transmission and generational forgetting. Her most recent novels are concerned with the rupture and the ultimate refashioning of biographies in a post-GDR age. Rereading her texts in a post-Wende light, the author explores the complexity of Maron's relationship with the state from which she emerged and demonstrates how this complexity manifests itself in her writing before and after 1989. This study offers new perspectives on Maron's work and illuminates the significance of her contribution to contemporary German literature.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Der Deutsche Wald - das ist einerseits die gewaltige Biomasse von etwa 90 Milliarden Bäumen, andererseits aber auch eine kulturelle Konstruktion, die mit vielfältigen Bedeutungen aufgeladen ist: eine romantische Sehnsuchtslandschaft, eine Märchenwelt, ein nationaler Mythos. Der Deutsche Wald erscheint als Gegenbild zur Zivilisation, sei es als unkontrollierbare, bedrohliche Wildnis, sei es als idyllischer Ort für erbauliche Begegnungen mit vermeintlicher Natur. Er gehört zur Heimat, ja oftmals ist er Inbegriff von Heimat: ein ursprünglicher, Geborgenheit und Identität versprechender Raum. Im gegenwärtigen 'Anthropozän' hat dieses mythische Waldbild durch Umweltverschmutzung und den Klimawandel jedoch schweren Schaden genommen: Die Deutschen haben nun Angst um ihren Wald, der als fragiles Ökosystem erkennbar wird. Die Beiträge dieses Bandes untersuchen das angedeutete Themenspektrum mit unterschiedlichen historischen Schwerpunktsetzungen. Eine zentrale Rolle spielt dabei die Analyse von Walddarstellungen in literarischen Texten, aber auch Opern- und Theaterinszenierungen. Die Bandbreite reicht vom Nibelungenlied über die Romantik, die Zeit des Nationalsozialismus bis hin zu Autoren der Gegenwart wie Peter Handke und Andreas Maier. 332 pp. Deutsch.
