      Narrative/s in Conflict presents the proceedings of an international workshop, held at the Trinity Long Room Hub Dublin in 2013, to a wider audience. This was a cross-disciplinary cooperation between the comparative research network 'Broken Narratives' (University of Vienna), the research strand 'Identities in Transformation' (Trinity College Dublin) and the Graduate Center for the Study of Culture at the University of Giessen. What has brought this informal network together is its credo that theories of narrative should be regarded as an integral part of cultural analysis. Choosing exemplary case studies from early Habsburg days up to the the wars and genocides of the 20th century and the post-9/11 'War on terror', our volume tries to analyze the relation between representation and conflict, i. e. between narrative constructions, social/historical processes, and cultural agon. Here it is crucial to state that narratives do not simply and passively 'mirror' conflicts as the conventional ‘realistic’ paradigm suggests; they rather provide a symbolic, sense-making matrix, and even a performative dimension. It even can be said that in many cases, narratives make conflicts.

      Some stages are crowded with tragic lovers, some with tricksters and fools, some with kings and queens, and others simply with men in dress greens. Focusing on masculinity and its theatrical representations, Negotiating Myths of Masculinity in David Rabe's Vietnam Plays provides innovative readings of David Rabe's The Basic Training of Pavlo Hummel, Sticks and Bones, Streamers and The Orphan in the contexts of gender and men's studies. Wolfgang Müller's intriguing study of male cults, myths, metanarratives and their fatal implications draws attention to Vietnam War drama and its tragic heroes in dress greens.

      The study explores the potential of universal, unconditional basic income (UBI) as a solution to the inadequacies of current social security systems in Europe, particularly in addressing traditional and emerging challenges like unemployment and work-life balance. It specifically analyzes how UBI could enhance the effectiveness of social security frameworks in the UK, Germany, and Sweden, aiming to determine its viability in achieving their objectives and fulfilling essential functions.

Gezeigt werden Werke von Künstlern, die von unterschiedlichen Sprach- und Kommunikationssystemen ausgehen und bewusst mit den Differenzen, Ähnlichkeiten und deren spezifischen Eigenheiten arbeiten. Dabei blenden sie ihre eigene Perspektive und deren Begrenzung nicht aus, sondern eröffnen neue Möglichkeiten aus den vorhandenen Grenzziehungen.
