In exploring Marx's use of literary texts, from Aeschylus to...

Ein Zyklus von vier Erzählungen, die der Autor vermutlich – mit einer Ausnahme – an einem Tag im Mai 1914 verfasste: Es geht um Visionen vom Untergang und des Paradieses, einen Sohn, der sich auf tragische Weise der Enge seines Elternhauses bewusst wird und einem Dichter auf der Suche nach sich selbst.

Fredric Jameson sweeps from the Renaissance to The Wire High modernism is now as far from us as antiquity was for the Renaissance. Such is the premise of Fredric Jameson’s major new work in which modernist works, this time in painting (Rubens) and music (Wagner and Mahler), are pitted against late-modernist ones (in film) as well as a variety of postmodern experiments (from SF to The Wire, from “Eurotrash” in opera to Altman and East German literature): all of which attempt, in their different...

In the place of “World Literature”—a dominant...
