Drawing on gender and queer theory, including the work of Lauren Berlant, Judith Butler, and Michel Foucault, the essays in this volume rethink conventional ways of conceptualizing female authorship and re-examine the formal, aesthetic, and thematic terms in which "women's literature" has been conceived. With an eye to the literary and feminist legacy of authors such as Christa Wolf and Ingeborg Bachmann, contributors treat the works of many of contemporary Germany's most significant literary voices, including Hatice Akyün, Sibylle Berg, Thea Dorn, Tanja Dückers, Karen Duve, Jenny Erpenbeck, Julia Franck, Katharina Hacker, Charlotte Roche, Julia Schoch, and Antje Rávic Strubel -- authors who, through their writing or their role in the media, engage with questions of what it means to be a woman writer in twenty-first-century Germany."-- OP - 208 NO - "This book has its roots in a conversation that began at the Women in German conference in 2006"--Preface CN - PT167 .G466 2015eb SN - 9781782044864 SN - 1782044868 SN - 9781571135841 SN - 1571135847 SN - 9781782044802 SN - 1782044809 KW - German literature : Women authors : History and criticism : Congresses.
