In the literature of this period, business is often depicted as a performance that requires great linguistic skill. This book is a study of the representation of business practices in nine German-language novels-published during the period from 1901 to 2013-that explore how language is used rhetorically in pursuit of economic and political agendas. Taken up as case studies, in chronological order, the novels are by Thomas Mann, Heinrich Mann, Gabriele Tergit, Bertolt Brecht, Ingeborg Bachmann, Hermann Kant, Friedrich Christian Delius, Kathrin RoÌggla, and Philipp SchoÌnthaler, all of whom articulate cultural imaginaries and political ideologies at key moments in recent German history. In doing so, they challenge readers to refine their own interpretive skills. By considering business rhetoric in the novels, Ernest Schonfield shows how the formulation of language remains inseparable from the exercise of economic and political power. The central message of this book is that literature and business have something essential in common: they both rely on the persuasive use of language"-- $c Provided by publisher. 505 00 $g 9. $t Communicative Contests in Philipp Schonthaler's Das Schiff das singend zieht auf seiner Bahn, 2013. $g 2. $t Oratory and Publicity in Heinrich Mann's Der Untertan, 1914/18 -- $g 3. $t Organizing Speech in Gabriele Tergit's Kasebier erobert den Kurfurstendamm, 1931 -- $g 4. $t Seeing through the Rhetoric in Bertolt Brecht's Dreigroschenroman, 1934 -- $g 5. $t Giving an Account of the Self in Ingeborg Bachmann's Matina, 1971 -- $g 6. $t Negotiating Bureaucracy in Hermann Kant's Das Impressum, 1972 -- $g 7. $t Corporate Discourse in Friedrich Christian Delius's Unsere Siemens-Welt, 1972 -- $g 8. $t Producing Ethos in Kathrin Roggla's wir schlafen nicht, 2004 -- $g 9. $t Communicative Contests in Philipp Schonthaler's Das Schiff das singend zieht auf seiner Bahn, 2013. 650 0 $a German fiction $y 20th century $x History and criticism. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008105210 650 0 $a German fiction $y 21st century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Business in literature. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh94000967 650 7 $a Businesspeople in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00843011 650 7 $a Corporations in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00879971 650 7 $a Economics in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00902247 650 7 $a German literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00941797 650 7 $a Roman. $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4050479-7 650 7 $a Deutsch. $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4113292-0 650 7 $a Wirtschaft $g Motiv. $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4190031-5 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 655 7 $a Literary criticism. $2 lcgft $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2017026126 830 0 $a Studies in German literature, linguistics, and culture. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n42023855 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231021014148.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BE0DEB7E0C2C11EAA2E5F95597128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
