Narrating Uncertainty in Early European Literature on Guantánamo -- Appendix. 330 $aThis volume looks at the representation of 9/11 and the resulting wars in European literature. In the face of inner-European divisions the texts under consideration take the terror attacks as a starting point to negotiate European as well as national identity. While the volume shows that these identity formations are frequently based on the construction of two Others-the US nation and a cultural-ethnic idea of Muslim communities-it also analyses examples which undermine such constructions. This much more self-critical strand in European literature unveils the Eurocentrism of a supposedly general humanistic value system through the use of complex aesthetic strategies. These strategies are in itself characteristic of the European reception as the Anglo-Irish, British, Dutch, Flemish, French, German, Italian, and Polish perspectives collected in this volume perceive of the terror attacks through the lens of continental media and semiotic theory.  . 606 $aEuropean literature 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y20th century 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y21st century 606 $aComparative literature 606 $aEuropean Literature 606 $aContemporary Literature 606 $aTwentieth-Century Literature 606 $aComparative Literature 615 0$aEuropean literature. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 0$aComparative literature. 615 14$aEuropean Literature. 615 24$aContemporary Literature. 615 24$aTwentieth-Century Literature. 615 24$aComparative Literature. 676 $a809.4 702 $aFrank$b Svenja$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255092403321 996 $a??????????????$93416123 997 $aUNINA
