Heinrich Böll was known in German postwar literature primarily as a committed intellectual and author of novels and short stories. Less visible were his poems, which are neither among the great lyrical texts of postwar literature nor exclusively occasional poetry – although occasional poems make up an important part of Böll’s body of work. The writer of poems also expresses concerns typical of Böll as an author in general, such as themes of everyday life, social problems, or issues of religion. This is particularly evident in the poems written between 1968 and 1984, in which he speaks of his hometown of Cologne. Changes of the postwar decades are thereby problematized within the horizon of Cologne’s history. Böll thus delivers a noteworthy attempt to update the tradition of metropolitan poetry beyond National Socialism and the postwar period.
Rainald Goetz’ novel Johann Holtrop has repeatedly been read as a failed satire of the 21st century’s financial crisis: On the one hand, its descriptions were understood as opinionated and sententious. On the other hand, critics were irritated by what was seen as an inconsequent integration of realistic narration into Goetz’ hyperbolic style of writing. This paper takes a different stance on the text: First, it discusses the work’s allusions to realistic narration and the financial crisis in detail. Second, it argues that Johann Holtrop transfers the idea of a collapsing economy into an only partially realistic poetic of distortion. Third, it suggests that this strategy can be fruitfully compared to a crumbling system of credit. On this basis, the novel is read as an inherently literary depiction of the financial crisis.
Augenblick und Anlass

Gelegenheitslyrik ist ein Gegenstand mit einer langen konfliktreichen Forschungs- und Rezeptionsgeschichte. Immer wieder wurde sie zum Inbegriff einer Gattung degradiert, die sich heteronomen Begehrlichkeiten unterwirft. Gegen dieses Verdikt geht der Band davon aus, dass sich auch weit nach 1800 eine Kontinuität von Gelegenheitsdichtung beobachten lässt und das angebliche Absinken der Kasuallyrik mit der begriffs- und konzeptgeschichtlichen Heraufkunft von ‹Gegenwart› zusammenfällt. Die hier versammelten Beiträge widmen sich den Kontroversen in der Moderne auf vier Ebenen. Dabei richtet sich der Fokus auf systematische und gattungstheoretische Zugänge, Institutionen und Praktiken, die Gattungs- und Funktionsgeschichte sowie spezifische Darstellungsformen und Möglichkeiten der Zeitreflexion.
