Forces of Education
Bringing Walter Benjamin into dialogue with the urgent issues facing educational institutions today, this is the first comprehensive exploration of his philosophy of education and pedagogy. In recent years, problems concerning the practice of education have become central to the critical discourse in the humanities: from debates regarding “deplatforming” and the redefinition of free speech on campus to the digitization of learning and the ethics of mentorship. But where do we go from here? This volume argues that Walter Benjamin's writing offers critical tools to rethink the purposes of education and the institutional forms it should assume. Reaching from his earliest writings during his...
Celluloid Revolt
Provides new insights into German-language cinema around 1968 and its relationship to the period's epoch-making cultural and political happenings. The epoch-making revolutionary period universally known in Germany as '68 can be argued to have predated that year and to have extended well into the 1970s. It continues to affect German and Austrian society and culture to this day. Yet while scholars have written extensively about 1968 and the cinema of other countries, relatively little sustained scholarly attention has thus far been paid to 1968 and West German, East German, and Austrian cinemas. Now, five decades later, Celluloid Revolt sets out to redress that situation, generating new insigh...

An Aesthetics of Injury
An Aesthetics of Injury exposes wounding as a foundational principle of modernism in literature and film. Theorizing the genre of the narrative wound—texts that aim not only to depict but also to inflict injury—Ian Fleishman reveals harm as an essential aesthetic strategy in ten exemplary authors and filmmakers: Charles Baudelaire, Franz Kafka, Georges Bataille, Jean Genet, Hélène Cixous, Ingeborg Bachmann, Elfriede Jelinek, Werner Schroeter, Michael Haneke, and Quentin Tarantino. Violence in the modernist mode, an ostensible intrusion of raw bodily harm into the artwork, aspires to transcend its own textuality, and yet, as An Aesthetics of Injury establishes, the wound paradoxically r...

Poetik der Wunde
Über die Anfänge des Trauma-Konzepts in der Literatur um 1800. Das Konzept des Traumas ist in den letzten Jahrzehnten sowohl zu einer psychiatrisch anerkannten Kategorie als auch zu einem kulturellen Paradigma avanciert. Das Wissen um psychische Verletzungen und ihre Langzeitfolgen besetzt heute einen festen Platz im menschlichen Selbstverständnis. In den Literaturwissenschaften ist die Trauma-Theorie zu einem wichtigen inter¬pretatorischen Ansatz geworden, insbesondere für die Forschung zur Nachkriegs- und Nachwendezeit. Wie aber, wenn unser heutiges Trauma-Para¬-digma bereits im frühen 19. Jahrhundert begänne? Wenn es das moderne Subjekt und seine Literatur mitkonstituierte? Vor de...
