Textpraxis # 19 (1.2021)
In Textpraxis # 19 Adrian Brauneis discusses how the concept of ›Anschaulichkeit‹ enhances the reader's ability to conceptualize literary descriptions as sensory perceptions. Katharina Andrea Kalthoff and Leonie Windt-Wenzel consider how the concept of ›solastalgia‹ - or its absence - might be useful for the last debates within the field of ecocriticism. Ou first podcast starts with an interview with Jörg Albrecht, artistic director of the Center for Literature at Burg Hülshoff about transformation, digitalization and the public when promoting literature.

Mit einer Modellanalyse von Christian Krachts Roman »Die Toten« (2016)
In his contribution, Adrian Brauneis addresses the question of how works of fiction manage to create vividness despite their fictional content. By doing so, this article also invstigates the role of the narrator and his or her involvement for the process of creating vividness. Brauneis starts by examing and explaining the literary-aesthetic techniques that help a fictional text to become more vivid. In a second step, the theoretical approaches and findings on decidedly descriptive and highly vivid fictions and narratives are underpinned by means of a model analysis of Christian Kracht's novel Die Toten (2016)
