The combination of a broad theoretical and historical framework covering almost fifty representative authors and oeuvres makes this essential reading for students and specialists alike in the fields of literary studies and cultural studies.…

    Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book investigates the triadic constellations between ritual, family, and therapy in literature in English. Many rituals, so-called rites of passage in particular, are strongly associated with the changing status of individuals as members of a family unit. Traditional healing rituals were often designed to have a therapeutic effect, sometimes mentally, but also physically, whereas modern psychotherapies often include ritual elements in order to enhance the efficacy of their treatment. Families, on the other hand, can be the site of therapeutic activity by providing protection, stability, and emotional comfort; yet, difficult family constellations may also be the origin of emotional distress and the reason why a person needs counselling and therapeutic support in the first place. Modern therapies, such as family systems therapy, have expanded their range of interest and influence in order to look at the whole family unit, not just the symptomatic individual, as client. This study discusses nine literary texts-six novels, one literary memoir, and two plays-in which the three dimensions intersect and mutually influence each other.…

    Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Neue Studie zur Literatur der englischen PostmoderneDie Darstellung von Regressionsphantasien gehört zu den wichtigsten Funktionen von Literatur, denn diese bieten auf ästhetischer Ebene Entlastung von den progressiv orientierten Anforderungen der modernen Zivilisation. Die Inszenierung regressiver Wünsche und Sehnsüchte in fiktionalen Texten impliziert dabei meistens eine Kritik am jeweils aktuellen Status quo der Kultur, die in welcher Form auch immer als lebensfeindlich, belastend und erdrückend empfunden wird. Lars Heilers Studie untersucht die Verflechtung von Regressionstendenzen und kulturkritischem Impetus anhand von vier zeitgenössischen Romanen, die unterschiedliche Facetten des regressiven Ausbruchs aus dem KorSett des gesellschaftlichen Erwartungshorizonts illustrieren. In ihrem kulturwissenschaftlichen Ansatz beleuchtet die Arbeit Texte von McEwan, Crace, Welsh und Self u.a. mit Alfred Lorenzers Konzept der tiefenhermeneutischen Kulturanalyse und Victor Turners Modell des sozialen Dramas, um das spezifisch postmoderne Potential der analysierten Romane freizulegen, die kein eindeutiges Verhältnis zwischen Regression und Kulturkritik gestalten, sondern den Blick auf den regressiven Charakter der gegenwärtigen Kultur lenken.…
