Last Year in Marienbad

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. L'Année dernière à Marienbad is a 1961 French film directed by Alain Resnais, starring Delphine Seyrig, Giorgio Albertazzi, and Sacha Pitoëff. The screenplay is by Alain Robbe-Grillet. The film is famous for its enigmatic narrative structure, in which truth and fiction are difficult to distinguish, and the temporal and spatial relationship of the events is open to question. The dream-like nature of the film has fascinated and baffled audiences and critics, some hailing it as a masterpiece, others finding it to be incomprehensible. Among the notable images in the film is a scene in which two characters (and the camera) rush out of the château and are faced with a tableau of figures arranged in a geometric garden; although the people cast long dramatic shadows, the trees in the garden do not.

Dekonstruktion und Rekonstruktion des Erzählens

Warum dekonstruiert die literarische Moderne die "klassischen" Erzählformen? Und wie rekonstruieren postmoderne Erzähler vermeintlich traditionelle Narrationsmodelle? Dieses Buch beschreibt zwei Bewegungen europäischer Literatur, die im Nouveau Roman von Alain Robbe-Grillet und in der Erzählpoetologie von Peter Handke ihren Kulminations- und Wendepunkt erleben. Sie beziehen sich dabei auf den französischen und deutschen Realismus bei Gustave Flaubert und Gottfried Keller und ebnen mit Umberto Eco einer neuen epischen Erzählliteratur den Weg.

Alain Robbe Grillet

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online.Alain Robbe-Grillet (* 18. August 1922 in Brest; ¿ 18. Februar 2008 in Caen) war ein französischer Agraringenieur, Filmemacher, Schriftsteller und Mitglied der Académie française. Alain Robbe-Grillet studierte Agrarwissenschaften und arbeitete zunächst am Nationalinstitut für Statistik in Paris. Während des Zweiten Weltkriegs musste er 1943 ein Jahr lang Arbeitsdienst in Nürnberg leisten. Durch seine Literatur gilt Robbe-Grillet als einer der Väter des Nouveau Roman. Es ist ein Begriff, der auf seinen Essay Pour un Nouveau Roman zurückgeht. Dieser neue nicht-realistische Roman soll weder die Wirklichkeit spiegeln, noch Botschaften übermitteln, sondern literarische Formen und deren Entwicklung abbilden. Zwischen Gewalt und Erotik gleitet er stets nüchtern und metonymisch über Sinneseindrücke hinweg. Durch das stetige Ineinanderübergehen winziger Bilder von Lust und Schmerz, und weniger in Rückgriff auf kohärente, narrative oder Sinnstrukturen, gelang es Robbe-Grillet, nicht nur den Begriff von Literatur zu verändern, sondern auch der Aufmerksamkeit des Lesers Streiche zu spielen.
