| Summary: | The study deals with Wolfgang Kraus (1924-1998), a central protagonist of Austrian literary life after 1945 and a well-connected literary critic and essayist as weil as founder and director of the "Austrian Literary Association". By incorporating archival sources hitherto unknown the study describes the activities of Kraus as a manager of Austrian literature. Kraus' assessment of literature comes into locus in the contexts of literary Criticism and Cultural Policy supplemented by aspects of an intellectual history and elements of an institutional history as well as phenomena like the cultural Cold War. Wolfgang Kraus (1924-1998) war der zentrale Akteur des österreichischen Literaturbetriebs nach 1945. Anhand bisher unbekannter archivalischer Quellen werden seine (Be-)Wertungsprozesse von Literatur im literaturkritischen als auch kulturpolitischen Kontext beschrieben und charakterisiert, wobei mit der Fokussierung auf Kraus neben Aspekten einer "intellectual history" auch Elemente einer Institutionsgeschichte sowie zeitgeschichtliche Phanomene wie der kulturelle Kalte Krieg zu Tage treten. |
