This dissertation examines the extent to which the postironic writing style of the texts So ist das by Stephan Groetzner (2013), Verbannt! by Ann Cotten (2016) and Bot - Gespräch ohne Autor by Clemens J. Setz (2018) can be read as an irritation in the context of literary debates on German-language pop literature after the millennium, which reveal the desire for a literary paradigm shift towards sincerity. The thesis underlying this dissertation is that the texts So ist das, Verbannt!, and Bot are characterized by nonsense as a literary device that makes it possible to destabilize meaning and thus undermine the literary conventions evident in the debates: the central position of the novel, realism and the role of authors as creators of meaning. Nevertheless, the texts play with the idea of a paradigm shift with the help of the postironic practice of drawing attention to the hopelessness of irony and confronting contingency with openness. They draw on the guiding differences of pop literature—ironic/sincere and artificial/authentic—but present the distinction between the differences as superfluous or irresolvable. By destabilizing meaning and assigning the responsibility of making sense to the reader, the texts not only thematize the late modern relationship between literature and society, truth and reality, and offer the opportunity to experiment with new world views; they also become humorous, cultural narratives that contribute to the construction of values within the literary field.
