Snow from Broken Eyes investigates the implications of this historical intersection for the lives and works of three poets associated with Expressionism: Gottfried Benn, Walter Rheiner and Georg Trakl . All three are known to have used the drug during the War, although under very different circumstances, and the cocaine references contained in their works are equally diverse . These range from demonstrative declarations of drug use (Benn), via agonized textual re-enactments of the addict’s humiliation and suffering (Rheiner), to the integration of drug symbolism into an original, deeply resonant poetic code (Trakl) . In this study, the findings arising from close readings of key works by Benn, Rheiner and Trakl are contextualized in relation both to the longstanding historical association between psychoactive substances and imaginative literature, and to the radical innovations in literary style that characterized the early 20th century .

The conference, which brought together specialists with very different backgrounds, aimed to examine three specific problems : first, the problem of the relations between theory and analysis (What role should theory play in the analysis of narrative ? How might analysis affect narrative theory in return ? ) ; secondly, the problem of the relations between analysis and «everyday» reading of narratives (Is the goal of analysis to account for what takes places in «everyday» readings of narrative ? Do studies conducted on empirical groups of readers modify narrative analysis or narrative theory itself ? ) ; and finally the problem of the historical and cultural scope of narrative theory .

T Adam Russell he hallmark technique of Jane Austen’s mature writing – known as free indirect discourse (FID) – is responsible for what has become known as the «inward interest» of Austen’s writing . In Persuasion, FID is used extensively to represent the complex life of the heroine’s mind as she converses with herself . Austen’s posthumously published «late» novel Persuasion was first translated into French in 1821 by Isabelle de Montolieu as La Famille Elliot, ou l’ancienne inclination . The present study focuses on the question of how Montolieu handled FID in her French translation: At the time she was translating Persuasion into French, FID did not exist as a formal grammatical category . Neither did Montolieu have the possibility of seeking a model in the T Littérature comparée · Vergleichende Literaturwissenschaft · Comparative Literature Isabelle de Montolieu reads Jane Austen’s Fictional Minds The First French Translations of Free Indirect Discourse from Jane Austen’s Persuasion Bern, Berlin, Bruxelles, Frankfurt am Main, New York, Oxford, Wien, 2011 . 249 pp ., num . tables pb .

Separation is defined in Hegelian and psychoanalytic terms as psychic processes in the formation of identity that necessarily entail self-division and estrangement in the emergence of subjectivity and social identity . This phenomenon, called subjection, has been at the core of psychoanalytic readings since the work of Melanie Klein . The works under consideration in the volume include material by W .E .B . Du Bois, Frantz Fanon, C .L .R . James, Ralph Ellison, Theresa works of Flaubert – whose own extensive and innovative use of FID is comparable to Austen’s – as he was writing much later in the century . Previous translation studies have completely ignored this very crucial aspect of this translation . The author adopts a cross-disciplinary approach encompassing the history of publication, Jane Austen studies, translation studies, and narratology . This book tests the applicability of the conceptual framework of narratology within the field of Translation Studies . The author identifies key analytical concepts from the field of narratology and applies them to Montolieu’s translation with the aim of revealing what happened to Austen’s FID when Persuasion was first translated into French .

Ihre Wandlungen und Veränderungen von Autor zu Autor geben dazu Anlass, über Weiblichkeitskonzeptionen zu reflektieren . Anhand zahlreicher bisher unbekannter Materialien wird unter Beachtung der Theaterpraxis und der Bühnenwirksamkeit aufgezeigt, wie sich ein Stoff durch kulturellen Austausch zwischen italienischen (Gozzi, Puccini) und deutschen Autoren (Schiller, Brecht) weiterentwickeln, literarisch gewinnbringend verändern und zwischen verschiedenen Genres wechseln kann .
