Beschrijving
-New Subjectivity- was the salient signifier employed by German literary critics in the 1970s to signal a shift from the discourses of -engagement-, which had characterized the previous decade, to a paradigm of self-focus. This book explores the interface between the discursive field and its critical participants. In retrospect, the -New Subjectivity- discourse marks a significant watershed in the pre-history of a united German future whose discourses will be mediated between split pasts and imperfectly fused presents. -Third thoughts- names an interdisciplinary approach which penetrates the illusion of discursive unity without presuming that its reifying power will thereby be neutralized.\
