Gegenstand des Buches ist der in den Kulturwissenschaften ebenso verbreitete wie umstrittene Begriff des implied author, der seit seiner Einfuhrung vor einem halben Jahrhundert Anlass fur literaturtheoretische Kontroversen gewesen ist. Die ersten Kapitel der Studie untersuchen die Geschichte des Begriffs: die Pragung des Konzepts in Wayne C. Booths Rhetoric of Fiction, die vielstimmige Diskussion in Narratologie, Interpretationstheorie und Interpretationspraxis, und die bekanntesten Konkurrenzkonzepte wie Umberto Ecos Modell-Autor oder Wolfgang Isers...

The essays in this volume explore the full scope of Maximilian's Ruhmeswerk, which adaptively incorporated different literary and aesthetic genres. They examine the Emperor's quest to become an "uomo universale," or Renaissance man, in the context of the idea of "self-fashioning" at the focus of recent Renaissance research. In addition, the studies consider the impact of changing media conditions as a result of the invention of the printed book.

Dank des Booms der Fantastik, der in Form von Fantasy, Horror und Science Fiction seit den 1990er Jahren fur ein immenses mediales Aufsehen sorgt, besteht von Seiten der Forschung aber seit neuestem ein...

The time could not be better, therefore, for Hans-Jorg Rheinberger and Staffan Muller-Wille's magisterial history of the concept of the gene. Though the gene has long been the central organizing theme of biology, both conceptually and as an object of study, Rheinberger...

It was only around 1800 that heredity began to enter debates among physicians, breeders, and naturalists. Soon thereafter it evolved into one of the most fundamental concepts of biology. Here Staffan Muller-Wille and Hans-Jorg Rheinberger offer a succinct cultural history of the scientific concept of heredity. They outline the dramatic changes the idea has undergone since the early modern period and describe the political and technological developments that brought about these changes.
Muller-Wille and Rheinberger begin with an account of premodern theories of generation, showing that...
