They also disrupt the existing order and cause discontinuity in our sense of self and our perceptions of the world. To restore order, not only must human beings be rescued and affected areas rebuilt, but the reality of the catastrophe must also be transformed into narrative. The essays in this collection examine representations of disaster in literature, film, and mass media in German and international contexts, exploring the nexus between disruption and recovery through narrative from the eighteenth century to the present." -- This volume began as an international conference held at the University of Cincinnati in March of 2013. Many individuals and institutions have helped turn the original conference presentations into this collection of essays" -- Acknowledgements Literaturverzeichnis Seiten 191-215 |
