Investigative journalism and the "New Objectivity": Paula Schlier's Petras Aufzeichnungen (1926)

A young woman lives through the years 1916 to 1924 and witnesses horrifying things: the wounded and dying in the military hospital, the sabotage of democracy, the lives of young stenotypists torn between hope and hunger, hyperinflation, and the political radicalization in Bavaria in 1923. She experiences the Hitler–Ludendorff putsch as a typist (undercover) working for the Nazis' newspaper — and records her observations, which later flowed into Petras Aufzeichnungen. Schlier's book was one of the first to be described with the label "New Objectivity." A true story.

Mercoledì 19 novembre, h. 14:50 – Campus Sa Duchessa (via Trentino), laboratorio 3

Archive and edition: where does the text come from?

Why literary archives? Where can I look if I want to know where the estate of Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach or Thomas Bernhard is kept? How can I conduct research? What do I need to do if I want to work in Austrian literary archives? What exactly is a literary estate? Why is it important to preserve the manuscripts of writers? We also provide information on the importance of reliable textual foundations and of scholarly literary editing.

Mercoledì 19 novembre, h. 18:00 – Campus Aresu, aula 3

Austrian literature after 1945

After the end of the war, not only the cities of Germany but also those of Austria lay in ruins. While many older and former National Socialist writers shifted toward an Austria-ideology that glorified the monarchy or the nation, the young authors were euphoric: at last they could read what had been published in the world before 1938! Of particular interest were the books that had been burned in 1933. Modernism, Surrealism, jazz, and existentialism (re)arrived in Austria. Not everyone wanted to remember that they had been members of the NSDAP. An overview of the period between 1945 and 1955.

Gli incontri si terranno in lingua inglese.
