Literature & Literary StudiesApril 2020Interweaving myths in Shakespeare and his contemporaries
by Janice Valls-Russell, Agnès Lafont, Charlotte Coffin
This volume proposes new insights into the uses of classical mythology by Shakespeare and his contemporaries, focusing on interweaving processes in early modern appropriations of myth. Its 11 essays show how early modern writing intertwines diverse myths and plays with variant versions of individual myths that derive from multiple classical sources, as well as medieval, Tudor and early modern retellings and translations. Works discussed include poems and plays by William Shakespeare, Christopher Marlowe and others. Essays concentrate on specific plays including The Merchant of Venice and Dido Queen of Carthage, tracing interactions between myths, chronicles, the Bible and contemporary genres. Mythological figures are considered to demonstrate how the weaving together of sources deconstructs gendered representations. New meanings emerge from these readings, which open up methodological perspectives on multi-textuality, artistic appropriation and cultural hybridity.

March 2006Nach dem Leben
Gedichte
by Karin Kiwus
"Es gelingt Karin Kiwus, in einem einzigen Gedicht mehr Wirklichkeit einzufangen als anderen in seitenlanger fiktionsgetränkter Prosa", hat Wolfgang Hildesheimer über Karin Kiwus' ersten Gedichtband geschrieben. Unabweisbarer noch gilt dies für ihre neuen Gedichte. Das Phänomen Zeit wird nun, stärker als je zuvor in der Arbeit von Karin Kiwus, zum eigentlichen Strukturprinzip äußerst komplexer Texte. Als eine dünne Membran ortet sich ein fragiles Bewußtsein zwischen den Zeiten und bewegt sich vor und zurück. Zeit-, Denk-, Traum- und Erinnerungsbilder werden entworfen in diesen Gedichten, so zum Beispiel in einer "Elegie in sieben Sachen" für Uwe Johnson, in einer Legende um Ho Chi Minh und in der Evokation traumatischer Erfahrungen, die ein ganzes Leben geprägt haben und erst jetzt übersetzt werden können in Sprache.
