Visions and Visionaries is an apt title for this volume of essays on contemporary Austrian literature and film, because this collection offers insightful discussions of a gallery of significant authors and cultural figures. It also investigates important issues of style and genre, and portrays questions of Austrian identity and culture in rich contexts of recent literary and multi-media developments, cross-cultural interactions, and historical forces. This book encompasses relevant trends and notions from the past - especially the complexities of lingering effects of the Nazi era - along with issues of the future - in particular the present and anticipated interactions of culture and cyberspace. The essays are enhanced by poems by Evelyn Schlag and Gerhard Kofler.

« This collection of essays provides anyone interested in Austrian culture with a spectrum of critical responses to the rich and diverse artistic output of contemporary Austrian writers and filmmakers. In their analysis of narrative, dramatic, poetic, and visual works, the scholars gathered here examine literary and cinematographic mediation of significant aesthetic, philosophical, social, historical, and political issues. Readers are offered a variety of approaches to texts/films, clustered around a focus on innovation in form and a focus on topic/contents. The essays situate Austria's cultural production within a national as well as international context and also direct the reader towards developments in literary cyberspace. The volume is another sign of the lively presence of Austrian Studies!
