商品簡介
This volume contains 14 essays, some based on presentations from “The Black and Blue Danube Symposium,” held at Colgate U. in New York in March 2013, that use the Danube River as a means to explore the politics and culture of countries it runs through. Scholars working in Germanophone and Slavic studies, history and anthropology, film studies, musicology, and architectural history in the US and Canada discuss the Danube in film, music, literature, and folktales, such as Franz Kafka's Amerika: The Missing Person, The Danube Exodus, 2001: A Space Odyssey, the work of Elfriede Jelinek, Cold Days, Frozen Time, Liquid Memories, and The Ister, as well as in relation to Romanian architecture, environmental conflicts, the drainage of the Ecsed Marsh, and Jewish victimhood.
