This course will examine both major and minor figures of
Austrian literature since 1945. Special attention will be
given to these writers' tendency to disassociate themselves
from a specifically 'German' tradition and to pursue
characteristic themes and concerns. These include the myth
of Austria as the "first victim" of Hitler, the "musicality"
of Austrian prose, and the fetishization of literary
language. Representative authors will include prose writers
such as Ingeborg Bachmann and Thomas Bernhard as well as
experimental poets such as Ernst Jandl and Norbert Kaser.
