Abstract: Complex-analytic geometry can sometimes be as rigid as algebraic geometry, but sometimes also as flexible as topology. I will survey several such phenomena for holomorphic functions, holomorphic maps and holomorphic automorphisms. In the first half of this talk I will illustrate these in one complex dimension. In the second half I will then consider the much richer situation in higher dimensions.
