Reviews
Duttlinger's book offers a profound overview not only of the debates of the time, but also of their concrete form in literary texts, photo books or scientific apparatus. * Bernd Stiegler, H/soz/kult *
Carolin Duttlinger must be admired for the originality and creativity of her approach, and for its learned execution. Attention and Distraction in Modern German Literature, Culture, and Thought could very well mark the beginning of an epoch in which one reads books and cultures through the lens of attention and distraction, and such linked phenomena as contemplation and diversion, literalness and allegory, teleology and digression, and melancholy and agitation. * Stanley Corngold, Times Literary Supplement * Duttlinger's book offers a profound overview not only of the debates of the time, but also of their concrete form in literary texts, photo books or scientific apparatus. * Bernd Stiegler, H/soz/kult * Duttlinger's book is a milestone publication which has set new standards for cultural and intellectual history. * Anne Fuchs, Modern Language Review *
