Abstract:Analysing Valerie Fritsch's novel Winter's Garden (2015) alongside a range of texts by Christoph Ransmayr, the article considers the gendered elements of their engagement with the Anthropocene. Criticism on Ransmayr, the article argues, has largely overlooked the centrality of gendered domination to his work, which is traced here from its origins in his early fiction through to his latest novel The Fall Master (2021). Both writers respond to the Anthropocene with techniques of literary 'vaguening'. Gender dynamics thus operate in the texts not only as allegory, but also as a form of specificity that counters the risk of all-encompassing abstraction.Abstract:Der Artikel untersucht den Roman Winters Garten (2015) von Valerie Fritsch und eine Reihe von Texten von Christoph Ransmayr bezüglich der genderspezifischen Elemente ihrer Auseinandersetzung mit dem Anthropozän. Da die Ransmayr-Kritik die zentrale Rolle der gender-spezifischen Herrschaft in seinem Werk bisher weitestgehend übersehen hat, wird diese hier von den Anfängen in seinen frühen Roman bis zu seinem neuesten Roman Der Fallmeister (2021) nachgezeichnet. Beide Autor:innen reagieren auf das Anthropozän mit Techniken des literarischen 'vaguening [Vagheit]'. Gender-Dynamiken funktionieren dabei nicht nur als Allegorie, sondern auch als eine Form der Spezifität, die der Gefahr einer allumfassenden Abstraktion entgegenwirkt.
摘要:本文分析了瓦莱丽·弗里奇的小说《冬天的花园》(2015)以及克里斯托弗·朗斯梅尔的一系列文本,探讨了他们参与人类世的性别因素。文章认为,对Ransmayr的批评在很大程度上忽视了性别统治在他作品中的中心地位,这可以追溯到他早期小说的起源,直到他最新的小说《堕落大师》(the Fall Master, 2021)。两位作家都用文学“模糊”的手法回应了人类世。因此,性别动态在文本中不仅作为寓言,而且作为一种特殊形式,对抗包罗万象的抽象风险。摘要:《罗马冬季花园的艺术探索》(2015)冯·瓦莱丽·弗里奇与冯·德克里弗斯·伦斯梅耶·贝兹格里希·性别探索》(2015)Anthropozän。在德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国德国北京出版社:innen reagieren auf das Anthropozän mit Techniken des literarischen 'vague [Vagheit]'。性别动态的功能,甚至是在夜间的寓言中,现代的,在夜间的形式中,在Spezifität中,在夜间的抽象中,在夜间的抽象中。

Abstract:The writing of Adalbert Stifter has been examined in three recent collections of essays on German-language literature in the Anthropocene. This article reviews the grounds for considering Stifter an early Anthropocene author, and discusses the passages in Der Nachsommer depicting Freiherr von Risach's gardening practices with an eye to qualities associated with gardening in the Anthropocene. Stifter depicts gardening as a way of interacting with nature characterized by respect, care and cooperation. At the same time, he develops aesthetic strategies which anticipate and respond to the challenge which the Anthropocene poses to the novel as a literary form.Abstract:Das Werk von Adalbert Stifter ist bereits in drei neueren Aufsatzsammlungen zur deutschsprachigen Literatur im Anthropozän untersucht worden. Dieser Artikel überprüft die Gründe dafür, Stifter als einen Autor des frühen Anthropozäns zu betrachten, und erörtert die wichtigsten Stellen im Roman Der Nachsommer, an denen die Gartenpraktiken des Freiherrn von Risach dargestellt werden, mit Blick auf Eigenschaften, die mit dem Gärtnern im Anthropozän verbunden sind. Stifter schildert das Gärtnern als einen Umgang mit der Natur, der von Respekt, Sorgfalt und Kooperation geprägt ist. Gleichzeitig entwickelt er ästhetische Strategien, die auf die Herausforderung reagieren, die das Anthropozän für den Roman als literarische Form darstellt.
摘要:阿达尔伯特·斯蒂夫特的作品在最近的三本关于人类世德语文学的散文集中得到了研究。本文回顾了将Stifter视为人类世早期作者的理由,并讨论了《纳赫商报》中描述Freiherr von Risach园艺实践的段落,着眼于与人类世园艺相关的品质。Stifter将园艺描绘成一种与自然互动的方式,其特点是尊重、关心和合作。同时,他发展了美学策略,预见并应对人类世对小说作为一种文学形式提出的挑战。本文探讨了Stifter被认为是人类世早期作者的原因,并讨论了小说《盛夏》中最重要的段落,这些段落描绘了里萨赫男爵的园艺实践,以期了解人类世园艺的特点。Stifter将园艺描述为一种与自然打交道的方式,其特点是尊重、关心和合作。同时,他发展了美学策略,以应对人类世对小说作为一种文学形式提出的挑战。

Abstract:The hidden depths of an idyllic Heimat, the return of a repressed past/history, the representation of that which cannot easily be put into words: discussions about what is typically Austrian in Austrian crime fiction implicitly revolve around the function of the uncanny. Child and adolescent psychiatrist and author Paulus Hochgatterer is justifiably prominent in these discussions. His detective trilogy encompasses the genre of ‘provincial crime fiction’ as well as conscious engagement with psychoanalysis and literary aspirations. All three texts deliberately position themselves outside the genre conventions of traditional analytical detective novels and thrillers. This article analyses the distinction between narrative tension and the uncanny which underpins Hochgatterer's plots.

Abstract:The pre-formatted surface of a Heimat idyll has long been an important site of criticism in Austrian culture. Expanding this critique within the Anti-Heimat genre, this article focuses on three photo series by Lois Hechenblaikner to argue that the uncanny represents a significant aspect in contemporary visual culture by subverting the strong visuality of the Heimat ideal as it is promoted in mass tourism. Dissecting Heimat as a commercial product, Hechenblaikner explores the dark sides of alpine tourism and mass consumerism and uses the uncanny as a central trope in unmasking the destructive elements of Heimat in the contemporary tourist industry.
