Kriegsdiskurse in Literatur und Medien nach 1989

English description: War as a theme has played a central role in 20th-century German literature, but the circumstances under which it is discussed literarily have changed dramatically during the last decades. The collapse of real socialism and the process of globalization have led to a profound change in international power structures, which can no longer be interpreted within the traditional patterns of war between nation-states or the confrontation of inimical bloc systems. What is the role of literature and the media as forms of cultural memory in the current discourses on war, and what aesthetic strategies do these discourses employ to re-stage military conflicts at the beginning of the 21st century? This volume seeks answers to these questions within the discourses on war in literature and the media between 1989 and the present day. German text. German description: Das Thema >KriegNeuen Medien
