| | The stylistic principle of this book is montage. | | | While Döblin's poetics, then,underwent significant changes over time, it can nevertheless be said that his various experiments with literary techniques and forms bear witness to a remarkably consistent vision of a new realism, or "naturalism." One such way of expressing "reality" can be seen in Döblin's use of montage aesthetics for its documentary value. | | | Realism and modernism are either conceived as binary categories, or it is argued that modernist literary techniques achieve effects of "realist" consciousness, which is to say that they choose to represent a hitherto neglected form of experience or reality that made no part of traditional, nineteenth-century realism. |
