Poetiken des Alltags

With reference to three different works in three different media (crime stories on TV, novels and chansons), this study’s hermeneutical analysis reconstructs poetics as poetic programmes of patterns of narration of existential issues in everyday life during the life cycles of people embedded in the social world between historical and biographical destiny, social character and social milieus. In the background, the storytelling in all three works and media is embedded in contemporary history. But the study’s analysis places emphasis on the lasting meaning of existential issues in connection with some social, moral and political aspects of reflection incorporated into the narration.
