Este artigo é baseado em duas publicações anteriores (BAßLER 2013a; 2013b) e analisa o realismo como procedimento narrativo do nosso presente; para esse fim, são tratadas obras da literatura de expressão alemã e da televisão. O autor constata, tanto na chamada alta literatura quanto em gêneros como fantasia e séries televisivas um realismo que invoca e confirma, mediante frames convencionalizados, a imagem corrente da realidade e os códigos de significado vigentes do presente, indiferente da apresentação do conteúdo como realista ou fantástico. Este tipo de literatura é bem-sucedida porque possibilita uma leitura fácil e, ao mesmo tempo, reclama legitimidade através de uma autenticidade de alta literatura. Como alternativa a este estilo internacional de realismo trivial se oferecem, por um lado, obras pósmodernas e da cultura pop que expõem abertamente ser construídas por citações e, por outro, procedimentos como short cuts que dissecam a narrativa linear metonímica e a reconfiguram numa nova totalidade complexa e significativa

Poetry And Music

At the Curtis Institute of Music, Barber pursued further studies in foreign language and literature, mostly of a European background. He aimed for perfection of his craft and was inspired by English, Irish, and German literature, poetry, and music. He continued to travel in Europe together with his closest friend from the Curtis Institute, Gian Carlo Menotti, and subsequently spent a year at the American Academy in Rome. At the same time, his orchestra pieces started to be performed regularly in New York; Dover Beach, for voice and string quartet, especially, earned good critical reviews. The Overture to The School for Scandal won him a second Bearns Prize. He also pursued a career as a singer as a means of earning extra income, his first recording being Dover Beach. The “Angel Mary” Bok continued to foster his career. Following their graduation from Curtis, Barber and Menotti moved into an apartment in New York.
