Product Description
Visions and Visionaries is an apt title for this volume of essays on contemporary Austrian literature and film, because this collection offers insightful discussions of a gal-lery of significant authors and cultural figures. It also investigates important issues of style and genre, and portrays questions of Austrian identity and culture in rich contexts of recent literary and multi-media developments, cross-cultural interactions, and historical forces. This book encompasses relevant trends and notions from the past—especially the com-plexities of lingering effects of the Nazi era—along with issues of the future—in particular the present and anticipated interactions of culture and cyberspace. The essays are en-hanced by poems by Evelyn Schlag and Gerhard Kofler.
