With particular reference to the writings of Croatian e;migre; Dubravka UgresÌicÌ, and those of Milan Kundera, Clemens Meyer, Ingo Schulze, JaÌchym Topol, Christa Wolf, and others, it is argued that a significant body of postcommunist literature is underpinned and scarred by the semantic field of ruins: melancholia and nostalgia, presence and absence, pride and shame, and not least, remembering and forgetting. Taken together, the writings considered suggest a post-1989 'literature of the ruins', an amorphous, anti-formative framework that also dramatically illuminates the post-1989 ruins of east European literature itself - what remains when, as GyoÌrgy KonraÌd put it, 'something is over'"-- Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a European literature $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a European literature $y 21st century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Post-communism $z Europe. 650 7 $a HISTORY / Europe / Eastern. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a LANGUAGE ARTS & DISCIPLINES / Linguistics / Semantics. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a LITERARY CRITICISM / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a LITERARY CRITICISM / European / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a European literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00916751 650 7 $a Post-communism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01072730 651 7 $a Europe. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01245064 648 7 $a 1900 - 2099 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 830 0 $a Palgrave studies in modern European literature. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180105035737.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826085857.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5232101A8E3311E3B5D817AEDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
