In an interdisciplinary framework and through detailed readings of a wide variety of texts, the study shows how the challenges globalization has posed for Germany over the last two decades have been manifested and reimagined in aesthetic production. Analyses of the literary marketplace and public debates illuminate the more material sides of this development. The study also analyzes the ways in which German-language writers born between 1955 and 1975, such as Chr. Kracht, Th. Meinecke, J. Hermann, S. Berg, F. Illies, K. Röggla, J. v. Düffel, and G. Hens, respond to the pressures of globalizing factors, and how these have influenced notions of authorship and literary aesthetics. It shows how narratives dealing with the neoliberal work world, global travel, and the aftermath of 09/11 implicitly comment on contemporary debates on globalization, its socio-economic nature, and the impact for local culture. By presenting a literary history of the present, Germans Going Global deepens the reader's understanding of contemporary Germany and its cultural production. 410 0$aInterdisciplinary German cultural studies ;$vv. 12. 606 $aGerman literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aGlobalization in literature 610 $aAuthorship. 610 $aGermany. 610 $aGlobalization. 610 $aPopular Culture. 615 0$aGerman literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aGlobalization in literature. 676 $a830.9 676 $a830.9358 686 $aGN 1411$2rvk 700 $aBiendarra$b Anke S$01662980 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910812894703321 996 $aGermans going global$94019976 997 $aUNINA
