Der lange Weg in die Gegenwartsliteratur (German, Hardcover)

1989 marks the end of post-war literature in Germany. Yet where is the historical locus of contemporary literature? Unlike attempts to situate contemporary literature in terms of historical events, the present study attempts to develop a structural history based on Pierre Bourdieu s concept of the literary field, thereby shedding light on the long road to the genesis of contemporary literature since the 1960s."
