Overview
Volumes

Eine Theorie der Prosa liegt in der Literaturwissenschaft bislang nicht vor. Die Bände dieser Reihe schlagen ein literaturwissenschaftliches Format vor, das sich in einem ganz eigenen Zugang um das Konzept poetischer Selbstreferenz gruppiert und Prosa nicht als Prosakunst, Stillehre oder als allgemeine Texttheorie fasst, sie zudem nicht auf der Ebene der gängigen Form- und Gattungskonzepte verortet. Angestrebt wird eine umfassende Theorie der Prosa, die einerseits durch literaturtheoretische Grundlagenarbeit, andererseits durch exemplarische Lektüren begründet wird.

›Wort für Wort‹ – Lektüren zum Werk von Oswald Egger

Martin Endres, Ralf Simon

Oswald Egger’s extensive oeuvre has received only little reception in the field of literary studies. This might be due to the fact that, on account of their complex movements of language, these texts pose the question of whether and how they can be interpreted at all. This volume faces up to this interpretative task with close readings – word for word, paying special attention to the relationship between poetry and prose.

A theory of prose does not exist yet. This volume aims to free prose from its invisibility as a medium for forms or genres devoid of characteristics. It redefines prose as a structure that works in latency, as a mysterious movement, but above all as poetic self-reference. These contributions combine this interest with in-depth exegeses on texts by Joyce, Mayröcker, Wühr, Lentz, and others.

Grundlagen einer Theorie der Prosa

Überlegungen zur basalen Selbstreferentialität der Dichtung nach Roman Jakobson

Ralf Simon

More Cite

This volume develops its theory of prose out of the concept of the basal self-referentiality of the poetic text. Its object of study is a corpus of sophisticated prose texts that are both extensive and complex, and which pursue a wild, dense semiosis (Bottom's Dream, Schattenfroh, Finnegan’s Wake, etc.). The question of their aesthetic characteristics leads to reflections on the basic concepts of literary studies.
