- Abstract
The article focuses on the final issue of Volume 36 of "Modern Austrian Literature." The contributors seek to place their subjects within larger contexts: European literature, the dialogue of literature and psychoanalysis, the theory of the novel, and the genre Anti-Heimatroman. Rudolf Schier compares parallel passages in Austrian playwright Arthur Schnitzler's Reigen and Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen's A Doll's House to show that sexuality can be a means of emancipatory expression. Lilian Furst's article explores the role of daughters as commodities within the bourgeois family by taking a fresh look at the fabled "doppelganger" relationship between Schnitzler and Austrian psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud. Noting that the 1995 Stroemfeld facsimile edition of Der Process reopens the debate about the sequence of the novel's chapters and fragments, Joshua Kavaloski argues that the discussion is moot because the internal time structure of the text resists the development of plot and character that is usually associated with the novel genre. The article also announces a new web site for the Modern Austrian Literature and Culture Association, and a prize for the best article in Modern Austrian Literature.
