- "Wie der Geist zum Kamele ward" : Zu einem Leitmotiv in Jonas Lüschers 'Frühling der Barbaren' (2016)
- This paper deals with the semantics of 'barbarism' in Jonas Lüscher's novella "Frühling der Barbaren" (2013). It aims to show that the text incorporates the concept of 'barbarism' into what Lüscher himself calls a "narratology of social complexity": a narrative mode that enables literary texts to serve as platforms for the reflection of moral problems. Lüscher achieves this by referring to specific intertexts by Friedrich Nietzsche and Ingeborg Bachmann while subtly modifying and distorting them. In doing so, "Frühling der Barbaren" acquires a diagnostic and genuinely critical quality: with this sleight of hand, which could be considered a prime example of 'barbarian theorizing' (Walter Mignolo, Maria Boletsi), the novella evokes existing narratives only to recode them into a sardonic critique of global capitalism.
