In Austria, Bernhard was often viewed as an enfant terrible. Yet after his death in 1989, he has increasingly undergone what novelist Alexander Schimmelbusch calls a ‘Mozartisation’. Against this background, the volume refocuses attention on Bernhard’s works themselves, underlining why these continue to be subversive and compelling.
The essays in this volume address Bernhard’s creative linguistic interventions; his theatrical verve; his literary persona; and his response to the traumatic historical legacy which continues to shape Austrian subjectivities long after 1945.
Thomas Bernhard – einer der bedeutendsten europäischen Nachkriegsautoren – wurde in Österreich oft als enfant terrible wahrgenommen. Nach seinem Tod in 1989 kam es jedoch immer mehr zu einem Prozess der „Mozartisierung“ (Alexander Schimmelbusch), dem Versuch, Bernhard in das offizielle österreichische Selbstbild einzureihen.
Vor diesem Hintergrund lenkt dieser Band die Aufmerksamkeit wieder auf Bernhards Werke selbst und unterstreicht, warum diese nach wie vor subversiv, spannend und nicht zuletzt irritierend sind.
Unter den miteinander verbundenen Themenschwerpunkten Sprache, Geschichte und Subjektivität befassen sich die Beiträge mit Bernhards kreativen sprachlichen Interventionen, seiner theatralischen Präsenz, seiner literarischen Persona und seiner Reaktion auf das traumatische historische Erbe, das die österreichischen Subjektivitäten noch lange nach 1945 prägt. Auch, aber keineswegs nur deshalb, hat Bernhard nichts von seiner Faszination eingebüßt.

In view of the internationalism of Joyce studies, and the current dissemination of literary-critical pluralism, this peer-reviewed series hopes to offer a platform for specifically "European" perspectives on Joyce's works, their adaptations, annotation, and translation, studies in biography, the history of and current debates in Joyce criticism, Joyce's place in literary history, matters of influence and the transmission of ideas etc.
In calling this series "European" in the broadest sense, we aim at soliciting not only the submission of articles by European contributors, but more generally all essays and research focusing on issues of European concern such as language, nationality and culture, literary-historical movements, ideology, politics, and distribution, as well as literary-critical perspectives with European roots.
Authors are cordially invited to submit proposals and/or full manuscripts to the publisher at BRILL, Masja Horn.

The social and academic learning opportunities showcase instances of both inclusion and marginalization which lead students to experience a double consciousness. What this study ultimately shows is that these students experience the dichotomous pull of religious and cultural values as they navigate their intersectional identities.
