Stylistics, Stylometry and Sentiment Analysis in German Studies
Can literature be investigated through quantitative methods? Can style, empathy, and prestige be measured? This study attempts to respond to these questions by providing results from a selection of case studies taken from German literature of the 19th through the 21st century, including Goethe’s “late style”, Felix Salten, and the output of contemporary writers such as Florian Meimberg’s “twitterature” and Daniel Glattauer’s e-mail novel. Altogether, this study shows how the interplay among literary theory, stylometry, stylistics, sentiment analysis, empirical studies, and archival research can offer new answers to old questions regarding German literature and provide tools to formulate new questions and novel approaches to research.
Poetry in the Digital Age
As a multifaceted and intermedial phenomenon, poetry in the digital age not only demands a rethinking and expansion of the traditional paradigms of literary studies but also attracts increasing attention from other humanities. This interdisciplinary handbook is thus addressed both to literary scholars and to the broadest academic audience interested in contemporary poetry research. It offers 50 contributions by an international collective of authors that highlight the diversity of contemporary poetry, examining it from a wide variety of complementing theoretical and methodological angles. The handbook focuses on contemporary modes of poetry presentation that are often located beyond the book...
Agency and Author
The image of the solitary author devoting days and nights to writing endless bestselling novels remains an insidious and largely unchallenged myth within German culture. In this exacting examination of the German publishing industry, Agency and Author addresses the financial reality sometimes eclipsed by this idea. Focusing on lesser-known German-language writers and their interactions with the Literaturbetrieb (“literary scene”), Agency and Author explores the ways authors assert creative agency in an increasingly ‘eventized’ literary marketplace. Ranging from the impacts of literary awards to media hate campaigns, this volume spotlights how profoundly the German literary landscape and our understanding of authorship is transforming.
Livestock and Literature
This book explores the past and current traces that cows, pigs, chickens, and other animals used by humans have left in Anglophone literary fiction. In times of accelerated global warming, an acute pandemic, and breakthroughs in bioengineering practices, discussions on how to rethink the relationships to these animals have become as heated as perhaps never before. Livestock and Literature examines what literature has to contribute to these debates. In particular, it draws on counter-narratives to so-called livestock animals’ commodification in selected science- and speculative fiction (SF) works from the twenty-first century. These texts imagine ‘what if’ scenarios where “livestock...
Interspezies Lernen
Tierschutz- und Tierrechtsfragen haben mittlerweile die Lehrpläne, Tagesordnungen und Schwerpunktsetzungen der unterschiedlichsten Bildungseinrichtungen und -initiativen erreicht. Deren Akteur*innen stehen vor der Herausforderung, die Relevanz von Tierethik und Tierrechten nicht nur der Sache nach darzulegen, sondern auch deren Vermittlung zu konzeptualisieren: Wie können tierschutz- und tierrechtsbezogene Bildungsprozesse gestaltet werden? Die Beiträger*innen des Bandes diskutieren dazu bildungstheoretische Grundlinien ihrer jeweiligen Fächer für ein Lernen, das konsequent speziesübergreifend gedacht ist und also von einem Standpunkt des Menschen »Inter-Spezies« ausgeht.
Harmonie in unruhigen Zeiten. Das "Stuttgarter Hutzelmännlein" von Eduard Mörike
Masterarbeit aus dem Jahr 2024 im Fachbereich Germanistik - Neuere Deutsche Literatur, Note: 1,3, Universität Stuttgart, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Diese Arbeit stellt eine Interpretation von Mörikes „Hutzelmännlein“ dar. Sie zeigt, das das Werk als Reaktion auf die politischen Ereignisse um 1848 gelesen werden kann. Das „Hutzelmännlein“, so die These dieser Arbeit, ist als Ausdruck des Harmoniestrebens Mörikes aufzufassen. Das "Stuttgarter Hutzelmännlein" wird auf Elemente der Harmonie hin analysiert, wovon ein wesentlicher Teil auf politische Elemente entfällt. Um diese mit der privaten und politischen Situation in Mörikes Leben in Verbindung zu setzen und damit einen gese...
