Modern/Postmodern: Society, Philosophy, Literature offers new definitions of modernism and postmodernism by presenting an original theoretical system of thought that explains the differences between these two key movements. Taking a contrastive approach, Peter V. Zima identifies three key concepts in the relationship between modernism and postmodernism - ambiguity, ambivalence and indifference. Zima defines modernism and postmodernism as problematics, as opposed to aesthetics, stylistics or ideologies. Unlike modernism, which is grounded in an increasing ambivalence towards social norms and values, postmodernity is presented as an era of indifference, i.e. of interchangeable norms, values and perspectives. Taking an historical, interdisciplinary and intercultural approach that engages with Anglo-American and European debates, the book describes the transition from late modernist ambivalence to postmodern indifference in the contexts of philosophy, literature and sociology. This is the ideal guide to the relationship between modernism and postmodernism for students and scholars throughout the humanities.

The Philosophy of Modern Literary Theory presents a short introduction to the problems, theories and concepts of literary critisicm, from the Anglo-American New Criticism to Deconstruction and Postmodernism. The book argues that modern theories can only be properly understood when placed in the philosophical and aesthectic context in which they originated and evolved. The book ranges across not just the philosophical underpinnings of English literature but also the critical literaturesof Eastern Europe, France, Germany, Italy and North America. For the first time, the major schools of literary theory from Marxism to psychoanalysis to Critical Theory are set within their philosophical context. The theorists discussed include Adorno, Bakhtin, Barthes, Benjamin, Croce, Derrida, Eco, Fish, Gadamer, Goldmann, Greimas, Hegel, Heidegger, Jakobson, Jameson, Jauss, Kant, Lukacs, Lyotard, de Man, Mannheim, Marx and Nietzsche. Peter Zima is Professor of Comparative Literature and Director at the Institute of General and Comparative Literature at the University of Klagenfeld.

The term 'theory' is nowadays most commonly defined in relation to the concept of 'scientific knowledge'. Yet, the etymological background of the term ('to observe') reminds us that theory is, in fact, a way of viewing objects and of relating them to one another within a particular kind of discourse. The word 'discourse' implies that we are dealing with linguistic structures and that, in the realm of cultural and social sciences, theory can therefore only be understood as a linguistic construct. In "What is Theory?", Peter V. Zima argues that this concept of theory has never been adequately analysed. He asserts that social scientists have been dealing with concepts such as 'culture', 'ideology', 'language' and 'discourse' without ever attempting to define the concept of theory itself. This new study re-examines the most important theoretical debates of the twentieth-century and, in engaging with the critical work of Adorno, Horkheimer and Bakhtin, offers an alternative concept of theory, one that is dialectical and dialogical, relating theoretical positions to one another in order to test them in systematic confrontation.In a critical development of Popper's idea of refutability and testability, Zima's theory opens up new perspectives and reveals pitfalls and problems which the traditional approach often obscures. In this engaging and highly original study, Zima offers a new definition of theory from a cultural and sociological perspective, arguing that the encounter of heterogeneous points of view in critical dialogue can improve interaction and increase coherence in the humanities.

Discourse and Power: An Introduction to Critical Narratology: Who Narrates Whom? is both an introduction to discourse research and an application of the concept of discourse to the problem of power.
Divided into two sections, Part One is a presentation of the most important theories of discourse in which the link between discourse and power or language and power is central. It provides a critical overview of the most important discourse theories: Foucault, Bourdieu, Fairclough and Greimas’s structural semiotics. In Part Two, the section on practice, the insights gained in the first part of the book are applied to analyses of particular discourses and their involvement in power relations. Ranging from psychiatric, legal, political, literary and scientific discourses, examples include the presidential speeches of Obama, Trump and Biden and the novels of Camus and Pirandello. The book demonstrates that it is possible in theoretical discourse to reduce the power factor to a minimum, improve theoretical innovation, and thus pave the way for new insights in social sciences.
This is an important and timely text from a leading scholar, suitable for use in discourse analysis, critical discourse analysis and rhetoric courses.

Subjectivity and Identity is a philosophical and interdisciplinary study that critically evaluates critically the most important philosophical, sociological, psychological and literary debates on subjectivity and the subject. Starting from a history of the concept of the subject from modernity to postmodernity - from Descartes and Kant to Adorno and Lyotard - Peter V. Zima distinguishes between individual, collective, mythical and other subjects.Most texts on subjectivity and the subject present the topic from the point of view of a single discipline: philosophy, sociology, psychology or theory of literature. In Subjectivity and Identity Zima links philosophical approaches to those of sociology, psychology and literary criticism. The link between philosophy and sociology is social philosophy (e.g. Althusser, Marcuse, Habermas), the link between philosophy and literary criticism is aesthetics (e.g. Adorno, Lyotard, Vattimo). Philosophy and psychology can be related thanks to the psychological implications of several philosophical concepts of subjectivity (Hobbes, Stirner, Sartre).

This book surveys the main schools and theorists of deconstruction, establishing their philosophical roots and tracing their intellectual development. It analyses their contribution to the understanding of literature and ideology, comparing their critical value and exploring the critical reaction to deconstruction and its limitations. The text is designed for students who wish to understand how and why deconstruction has become the dominant tool of the humanities. Deconstruction and Critical Theory marks a new stage in the reception history of Derrida''s work and in the wider philosophical debate around deconstruction. Zima''s study makes a strikingly original contribution to our better understanding of deconstruction and its various philosophic sources. Christopher Norris, University of Wales at Cardiff. Deconstruction And Critical Theory: surveys the main schools and theorists of deconstruction; establishes their philosophical roots; traces their intellectual development; analyses their contribution to the understanding of literature and ideology; compares their critical value; explores the critical reaction to deconstruction and its limitations.

Ausgehend von der Überlegung, dass die wichtigsten Vertreter der Kritischen Theorie (W. Benjamin, Th. W. Adorno, M. Horkheimer, H. Marcuse und J. Habermas) der sog. Frankfurter Schule im Bildungsbürgertum der liberalen Ära aufgewachsen sind, wird gezeigt, dass ihre Gesellschaftskritik von den Prämissen und Wertungen des liberalen Individualismus ausgeht. In diesem Kontext ist die Ambivalenz ihrer Kritik sowie Adornos und Horkheimers Satz aus der Dialektik der Aufklärung zu verstehen: "Nicht um der Konservierung der Vergangenheit, sondern um der Einlösung der vergangenen Hoffnungen ist es zu tun." Der nostalgische Ton, der in diesem Satz anklingt, durchzieht nahezu alle Werke der Frankfurter Philosophen. Obwohl postmoderne Autoren wie Z. Bauman, J.-F. Lyotard, M. Maffesoli und J. Baudrillard in mancher Hinsicht an die Kritische Theorie anknüpfen, verabschieden sie die aus dem liberalen Individualismus stammenden Wertsetzungen.

Dieser Band zeichnet Peripetien individueller Subjektivität in der spätmodernen und postmodernen Literatur nach. Während in der Spätmoderne (bei Mallarmé, Valéry, Adorno) Negativität, das Schöne und das Erhabene der Stärkung subjektiver Autonomie dienten, schlägt in nachmodernen Texten - etwa in Pynchons Gravity''s Rainbow - das Erhabene in Subjektnegation um. So verwandelt sich das Schreiben, das im Modernismus Prousts, Virginia Woolfs, Svevos zur Subjektkonstitution beitrug, in der Postmoderne Jürgen Beckers, Oswald Wieners oder Maurice Roches in eine Subversion individueller Subjektivität. Zima zeigt, wie in einigen nachmodernen Texten (bei Robbe-Grillet, Süskind, Del Giudice) Subjektivität auf reine Körperlichkeit reduziert wird. Diese Reduktion prägt auch das Werk Foucaults, das im Mittelpunkt des neuen Schlusskapitels steht. Sie bewirkt, dass das Individuum als Körper in verschiedene, durch Diskontinuitäten voneinander isolierte Kontexte integriert werden kann.

Im Anschluss an Adorno, Bachtin und Greimas’ Strukturale Semiotik analysiert Zima die Einwirkung sozialer Entwicklungen und Konfliktlinien auf literarische (und theoretische) Diskurse. Dabei geht es ebenso um Gattungsentwicklungen wie um semantische und syntaktische Strukturen einzelner Texte. Stets wird versucht, Gesellschaft und Literatur über die Sprache miteinander zu vermitteln. Der Band bietet vertiefte Analysen zu Proust, Musil und Kafka. Die Neuauflage enthält neue Kapitel zu den Begriffen der soziolinguistischen Situation, des Soziolekts sowie der Intertextualität und dehnt die Textsoziologie auf die Institutionalisierung literarischer Sprachen aus.

Das vorliegende Buch steckt die Möglichkeiten der Theoriebildung in der Vergleichenden Literaturwissenschaft ab. Während im Ersten Teil Vorschläge zu einer soziologischen und semiotischen Fundierung der literarischen Komparatistik gemacht werden, wird im Zweiten Teil versucht, die theoretischen und methodologischen Erkenntnisse auf die vergleichende literarische Periodisierung anzuwenden. Zugleich nimmt sich der Autor vor, den Dialog zwischen der literarischen Komparatistik und den anderen Komparatistiken zu intensivieren.

Das Ziel dieses Bandes ist es, die Aktualität der Kritischen Theorie Adornos, Horkheimers und Habermas'' für die heutige Zeit auszuloten. Es geht einerseits darum, die erkenntnistheoretischen Grundlagen der Kritischen Theorie neu zu überdenken, andererseits darum, neue Varianten dieser Theorie auf Gesellschaft, Kultur und Politik anzuwenden. Vor allem Bereiche wie Wissenschaftstheorie und Medienwissenschaft haben in den letzten Jahrzehnten neue Entwicklungen durchgemacht und fordern den kritischen Geist heraus.Mit Beiträgen von Roger Behrens, Alexander Demirovic'', Wolfgang Detel, Udo Göttlich, Marcus S. Kleiner, Hans-Herbert Kögler, Ines Langemeyer, Christine Resch, Gerhard Schweppenhäuser, Ilja Srubar, Heinz Steinert, Tanja Thomas, Rainer Winter und Peter V. Zima.
