Rhetorik und Sprachkunst bei Thomas Bernhard

En savoir plus sur le livre

The collection explores various aspects of literary rhetoric through the lens of Thomas Bernhard's works. Contributions include an examination of syntactic mimesis, rhetorical strategies in Bernhard's dramas, and the dynamics of submission in his late works. The essays delve into how language shapes reader thought, the author's relationship with awards, and the rhetoric of agitation in "Gehen." Other discussions focus on Bernhard's rhetoric of accusation, the interplay of truth and falsehood in his autobiographical narratives, and the distinctions between fiction and autobiography in his writings. The editors, Joachim Knape and Olaf Kramer, are affiliated with the Seminar for General Rhetoric at Eberhard-Karls-University Tübingen, where they specialize in rhetoric theory, history, and literary rhetoric. This anthology provides a comprehensive analysis of Bernhard's unique rhetorical style and its implications for understanding his literary contributions.
