GERMANS GOING GLOBAL - ANKE S BIENDARRA KARTONI...

Germans Going Global is the first monograph in English to address in depth the interrelatedness
between contemporary German literature and globalization. In an interdisciplinary framework and
through detailed readings of a wide variety of texts  the study shows how the challenges
globalization has posed for Germany over the last two decades have been manifested and
reimagined in aesthetic production. Analyses of the literary marketplace and public debates
illuminate the more material sides of this development. The study also analyzes the ways in
which German-language writers born between 1955 and 1975  such as Chr. Kracht  Th. Meinecke  J.
Hermann  S. Berg  F. Illies  K. Röggla  J. v. Düffel  and G. Hens  respond to the pressures of
globalizing factors  and how these have influenced notions of authorship and literary
aesthetics. It shows how narratives dealing with the neoliberal work world  global travel  and
the aftermath of 09 11 implicitly comment on contemporary debates on globalization  its
socio-economic nature  and the impact for local culture. By presenting a literary history of
the present  Germans Going Global deepens the reader's understanding of contemporary Germany
and its cultural production.
