The book explores the discursive and theoretical conditions for conceptualizing the postethnic literary. It historicizes US multicultural and postcolonial studies as institutionalized discursive formations, which constitute a paratext that regulates the reception of literary texts according to the paradigm of representativeness. Rather than following that paradigm, the study offers an alternative framework by rereading contemporary literary texts for their investment in literary form. By means of self-reflective intermedial transpositions, the writings of Sherman Alexie, Chang-rae Lee, and Jamaica Kincaid insist upon a differentiation between the representation of cultural sign systems or subject positions and the dramatization of individual gestures of authorship. As such, they form a postethnic literary constellation, further probed in the epilogue of the study focused on Dave Eggers.

Modernity is made and unmade by the anecdotal. Conceived as a literary genre, a narrative element of criticism, and, most crucially, a mode of historiography, the anecdote illuminates the convergences as well as the fault lines cutting across modern practices of knowledge production. The volume explores uses of the anecdotal in exemplary case studies from the threshold of the early modern to the present.

To Be Continued – Forms of Narrative Continuation

To Be Continued discusses forms of creating narrative continuation, such as adventure, parody, the saga format, fan fiction, seriality, spin-offs in case studies ranging from the 18th century to the present. Narrative Structure. Novels organized by tight plot constructions are rather rare. Episodic structures are the rule. The number of episodic sequences is not fixed, the narrative closure of episodes is preliminary, and the interrelation of episodes is open to retrospective reconfiguration, which makes additions and further narrative elaborations a constant option. Intertextual Links. Novels can thus be seen as experiments which use the modification of existing elements and the introduction of new elements to indicate and conceptualize cultural change. Seriality and parody mark the extremely divergent forms such experiments can employ: to write on or to re-write, to quote affirmatively, ironically, or satirically are basic forms of building traditions or of revising them, and can be related to conflicts over literary, economic or symbolic capital. For the reader, the entertainment value of a text may increase or decrease with the familiarity of a story world with its specific characters: the economy of attention, the level of affective bonding, and their consequences - identification, revulsion, or boredom - are molded by continuation.

Rereading the Machine in the Garden

Nature and Technology in American Culture

AvEric C. Erbacher,Nicole Maruo-Schroderm. fl.

This book reexamines the trope of the machine in the garden first laid out by Leo Marx fifty years ago. Contributors explore the lasting influence of this concept on American culture and the arts, rereading it as a dialectic wherein nature is as much technologized as technology is naturalized. Extending the relevance of Marx's theory from the nineteenth to the twenty-first century, they examine filmic and literary representations of industrial, bureaucratic, and digital gardens; explore its role in the aftermath of the Civil War and of rural electrification during the New Deal; its significance in landscape art as well as in ethnic literatures; and discuss the historical premises and continued impact of Marx's study.

Die Gattungsbewegungen der Kriminalliteratur und deren erzählerische Formen sind unauflöslich mit der Herausbildung neuer Wissensordnungen im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert verbunden. Als Kreuzungspunkt dieser epistemischen Ordnungen erscheint die Kriminologie, die sowohl an der Identifizierung des Verbrechens als auch an einem umfangreichen Wissen über Devianzen und Verbrechertypologien arbeitet.Die Beiträge des Bandes verstehen die Genres der Kriminalliteratur als Schauplatz dieser Diskurse und ihrer Inszenierungsmöglichkeiten. Damit rückt das Verhältnis von Techniken der Narration und der Spurensicherung sowie von medialen Praktiken und der Produktion von Subjektpositionen in den Blick.
