The author focuses on the differences between \"discourse networks\" in 1800 and 1900, in the process developing a new analysis of the shift from romanticism to modernism. The work might be classified as a German equivalent to the New Historicism of American literary scholars, both in the intellectual influences to which Kittler responds and in his concern to ground literature in the most concrete details of historical reality.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe artful structure of the book begins with Goethe's \u003ci\u003eFaust\u003c\/i\u003e and ends with Valery's \u003ci\u003eFaust.\u003c\/i\u003e In the 1800 section, the author discusses how language was learned, the emergence of the modern university, the associated beginning of the interpretation of contemporary literature, and the canonization of literature. Among the writers and works Kittler analyzes in addition to Geothe's \u003ci\u003eFaust\u003c\/i\u003e are Schlegel, E.T.A. Hoffmann's \"The Golden Pot,\" and Goethe's \u003ci\u003eTasso.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe 1900 section argues that the new discourse network in which literature is situated in the modern period is characterized by new technological media - film, the photograph, and the typewritten page - and the crisis that these caused for literary production. Along the way, the author discusses the work of Nietzsche, Getrude Stein, Mallarme, Bram Stoker, the Surrealists, Rilke, Kafka, and Freud, among others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA new and encyclopedic vision of modern German literary, intellectual and social history, achieved through the optic of discourse analysis, psychoanalysis, and semiotic theory, analyzed in a spirit of playfulness and impudent precision.--Stanley Corngold, Princeton University\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 496\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.3 x 9 x 6.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 01, 1992\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53053930275040,"sku":"9780804720991","price":53.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/5909\/4496\/files\/mDi88IRvbe9780804720991.webp?v=1781288576","url":"https:\/\/improvedinc.myshopify.com\/products\/discourse-networks-1800-1900-paperback","provider":"Improved Improper Input Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
