Ebook: Das Werk: Zum Verschwinden und Fortwirken eines Grundbegriffs

The category of the “work” has been the subject of intense criticism in literary studies over the past 50 years.

This volume examines developing forms and functions of the concept of the “work” in 21^st century humanities scholarship.
