Abstract: Abstract Narrative has often been considered “an art of time.” This essay traces some of the historical reasons for this state of the field, or fields, of narratology, pinpointing spots in classical, postclassical and contemporary narrative theory where compensation was attempted or is being made through a focus on space instead of time. It suggests that as geography and geographers have become increasingly interested in narrative approaches in dealing with concepts, visualization, and digitalization, it is perhaps (once again) time narratology itself, while continuing to focus on and explore space and place, took account of its history of treating them and looked at how geography has implemented narratological concepts in its technical and philosophical approaches.

Abstract: This chapter draws parallels between perhaps the earliest complete American fiction set in Berlin and some of the most recent, by comparing urban space and its treatment in Theodore Sedgwick Fay’s The Countess Ida: A Tale of Berlin (1840), Chloe Aridjis’s Book of Clouds (2009), and J.S. Marcus’s The Captain’s Fire (1996). Though the authors juggle enormously different social, historical, political, and cultural themes of their respective periods, all three novels treat foreign German urban space as one which is inherently violent, with a violence that must be repressed, deflected, or fled by the New World protagonists negotiating its thematic spaces.

Abstract: Este articulo explora las respuestas dadas desde la literatura estadounidense a losbombardeos aliados de la que era entonces la cuarta ciudad mas grande del mundo: Berlin. En la historia reciente, ninguna ciudad europea habia sufrido semejante devastacion, ni habia sido tan fotografiada. En este articulo se abordan tecnicas como los cambios del punto de vista, la complejidad gramatical y las metaforas empleadas para describir la cualidad mitica de la destruccion de Berlin, asi como los intentos casi mitificadores de levantar con los textos monumentos de la destruccion misma, desde los anos inmediatamente posteriores a la guerra hasta el siglo XXI.AbstractThis article surveys American literary responses to the U.S. bombing of the world’s then-fourth largest metropolis, Berlin. Such total devastation of a European city had never been seen before in recent history, and had never been so extensively recorded by photography. Discussed in the article are techniques of shifting viewpoints, of grammatical complexity and metaphors used to describe the mythic quality of Berlin’s destruction, and the almost mythicizing attempts to make textual monuments of destruction itself, from the immediate postwar years into the twenty-first century.

Abstract: This article examines a long history of objects’ use in “telling stories,” and speculates on how museums and other art forms might encourage “narrations” while leaving story-telling to visitors or viewers. David Chipperfield’s 2009 “restoration” of Berlin’s Neues Museum made great efforts to preserve traces not only of the objects displayed inside, but to present an open-ended “narrative” of the building’s own history. Attempts at making historical sites “tell” stories have, meanwhile, also extended into other visual arts in Germany, of which the article examines several, discussing them in relation with the concept of “postmemory” and national narratives of identity.

Abstract: Parker discusses German-language poetry and prose by Austrian refugees Stefan Zweig, Max Roden, Ernst Waldinger, and Greta Hartwig-Manschinger. Analysis of their descriptions of New York City before, during, and after the Second World War suggests a ‘double vision,’ as Walter Abish describes it, as these authors’ memories of Vienna are transposed onto Manhattan’s cityscape.
