After Postmodernism Edited by Willy Riemer

The surge of globalization and the digital revolution are bringing momentous changes to literature and film. With postmodernism as point of departure, the contributions of this volume offer a critical view of the mosaic of contemporary Austrian literature and film. The essays range from a consideration of hybridity in Austrian architecture to the practices associated with Austria's most prestigious literary prize, from discussions of ethnicity and gender to questions of identity and listserver interactions. The essays include research on the work of Michael Haneke, Axel Corti, Houchang Allahyari and Marlene Streeruwitz. Interviews with filmmakers and producers complement the critical essays by noted scholars.
