Weltuntergang und Doppelmonarchie • Politische Dimensionen des Katastrophendiskurses in Kometenromanen von Maurus Jókai (1874) bis Hannes Stein (2013)
End of the world and double monarchy • Political dimensions of the catastrophe discourse in comet novels from Maurus Jókai (1874) to Hannes Stein (2013)

Summary/Abstract: The study mediates between two literary thematic fields: the discourse on disasters, with special attention to the comet theme, and the literature about the future or the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. In this context, we ask about the political issue of the comet material or motif. The topic will be explained using the works of Camille Flammarion, Vincenz Chiavacci, Karl Kraus, Hannes Stein and Maurus Jókai as examples.
