Die Arbeit untersucht die literarischen und künstlerischen Bearbeitungen des Untergangs der 'Medusa'. In Kontext eines praktizierten Kannibalismus bot die historisch verbürgte Schiffskatastrophe von 1816 immer wieder Anlass für zivilisations- und gesellschaftskritische Aktualisierungen. Neben dem Gemälde von Géricault werden darauf bezugnehmende Aspekte des literarischen Werks von Peter Weiss und Franzobel diskutiert.

Summary

This study examines literary and artistic treatments of the wreck of the Medusa. The historically verified nautical catastrophe of 1816 has repeatedly inspired critical reflections on civilization and society within the context of the practice of cannibalism. Alongside the painting by Géricault, this volume discusses relevant aspects of literary works by Peter Weiss and Franzobel.
