Synopsis
Contributing Authors

Die Beitrage dieses Bandes beleuchten Prozesse und Transformationen mythischer Frauenfiguren und der Mythoswerdung realhistorischer Frauen in zeitgenossischen Texten und identitatspolitischen Diskursen. Der Fokus der Beitrage liegt daher auf den individuellen Arbeiten am Mythos (in Anlehnung an Hans Blumenberg), die ausgewahlte Autor:innen in ihren Dramen, Gedichten, Romanen und Filmen vollfuhren.

The contributions in this volume shed light on the processes and transformations of mythical female figures and the mythification of real-historical women in contemporary texts and identity-political discourses. The focus of the contributions lies on individual “Arbeiten am Mythos” (based on Hans Blumenberg), which selected authors carry out in their dramas, poems, novels and films – the attribution of agency, the addition of a voice for formerly subalterns, the Politicization of certain mythical subjects, the juxtaposition of different figures to a new mythical projection figure – and the question of how these de-, re- and unmythifications in postmodernism relate to a constantly changing cultural memory.
