Synopsis
Resisting Texts offers twelve studies that analyse the complex dynamics of textual resistance, exploring fiction’s fundamental potential to resist against realities – and the way reality may resist against fictions. Grouped into four sections, the articles (1) focus on how fictional texts resist the dynamics of history by consciously rewriting it; (2) explore how texts resist the readers’ desire to witness an authentic act of origin and instead perform the past’s resistance against recovery; (3) describe cultural institutions and their rhetoric of resistance against mainstream views that nevertheless has potential for productive resistance go unused; and (4) offer new approaches to literary texts that are usually read as resisting a specific ideology but can be shown to resist in a more complex way. The ‘resisting texts’ in these studies include works by Thomas Bernhard, António Botto, Daniil Charms, Allen Ginsberg, Toni Morrison, Octavio Paz, W.G. Sebald, and Virginia Woolf.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Resisting Texts versammelt zwölf Beiträge zur Widerständigkeit von Texten, die das grundlegende Potenzial von Fiktion ausloten, sich gegen die Wirklichkeit zu stellen und die komplementäre Widerständigkeit der Welt gegen fiktionale Texte in den Blick nehmen. Die Beiträge konzentrieren sich auf vier Schwerpunkte: (1) Sie beschreiben, wie sich fiktionale Texte der Dynamik von Geschichte durch deren bewusste Umschreibung entgegensetzen. (2) Sie zeigen, wie Texte den Wunsch der LeserInnen nach einem authentischen Ursprungsakt unterlaufen, indem sie Widerständigkeiten der Vergegenwärtigung von Vergangenheit stark machen. (3) Kulturellen Institutionen weisen sie nach, dass sie trotz ihrer Rhetorik der Widerständigkeit gegen die Massenkultur wesentliche Potenziale für Widerständigkeit ungenutzt lassen. (4) Sie bieten neue Ansätze zum Lesen solcher literarischer Texte, die üblicherweise als Positionen gegen eine bestimmte Ideologie verstanden werden, deren Reaktionspotenzial qua Literarizität aber ungleich größer und komplexer ist. Die untersuchten 'widerständigen Texte' stammen u.a. von Thomas Bernhard, António Botto, Daniil Charms, Allen Ginsberg, Toni Morrison, Octavio Paz, W.G. Sebald und Virginia Woolf 248 pp. Englisch.
