Topographies of Balkanisation

Topographien der Balkanisierung

Author(s): Tatjana Petzer / Language(s): German / Issue: 02-03/2007

Abstract: Maps drawn by cultural policies and the arts have accompanied the political and territorial rearrangements of South East Europe during the 20th century. At the be-ginning stands the Yugoslav avant-garde movement Zenitizam. It proclaimed the ʺBal-kanisation of Europeʺ as a programme of creative destruction of established aestheti-cal-ethical and political systems, to be achieved by unleashing the Balkanic force. De-lineating the semantic shifts in the reassessment of the terminus technicus ʹBalkanisa-tionʹ, the cultural and artistic topographies reveal the coherence between politics, vio-lence and art. The paper discusses these topographies and the implicit strategies of demarcation that are in contrast to stereotyped concepts of the Balkans and Yugosla-via. In these strategies, ʹBalkanisationʹ manifests itself as a figure that runs opposite to the delimitation of geographical, political and cognitive spaces.

Wahrnehmung und Bild der Großstadt Von Benjamins "Städtebildern" und den ´Berliner Texten´ bis Döblins Berlin Alexanderplatz

Wahrnehmung und Bild der Großstadt Von Benjamins "Städtebildern" und den ´Berliner Texten´ bis Döblins Berlin Alexanderplatz

Author(s): Luca Renzi / Language(s): German / Issue: 0/2002

Keywords: Walter Benjamin

AB Mitte der Zwanzigerjahre des 20. Jahrhunderts entwickelt sich allmählich im Werk Walter Benjamins ein literarisches Projekt, dessen zentraler Gegenstand die Beschreibung und die Erforschung der Physiognomie der modernen Großstadt und ihrer vielfältigen kulturellen Phänomene ist, und zwar sowohl im Hinblick auf die persönliche Erfahrung des Autors, als auch zur Erkundung des ästhetischen Werts jenes Sammelsuriums von Phänomenen, das unter dem Namen ´Moderne´ läuft. Am Anfang dieses Projekts stehen Einbahnstraße aus den Jahren 1925/28, Moskauer Tagebuch von 1926/27 und die ersten Pläne zu Benjamins monumentalem Passagenwerk, jenem unvollendeten Projekt, das den Philosophen sein ganzes Leben hindurch begleitet hat. Dieses Projekt wurde in den darauf folgenden Jahren weiterentwickelt und gewann an Substanz durch die eigentlichen ´Berliner Werke´ Benjamins, die von einem betont autobiographischen Hintergrund geprägt sind, und durch die Serie von Radioprogrammen über Berlin, die einen Zeitrahmen von 1929 bis 1938 umfassen (wenn man die verschiedenen Überarbeitungen der Berliner Kindheit mit in Betracht zieht).[...]

The Standard Model of German interpretative Methodology. Its Evolution and its current Meaning

Le modèle standard de méthodologie interprétative allemande. Son évolution et sa signification actuelle

Author(s): Remus Ţiţirigă / Language(s): French / Issue: 01/2012

Keywords: method of interpretation; methodological system; subjective school; objective school; historical‐objective school; standard interpretative model

This article, the second in a series of three, examines the standard interpretive doctrine canon in todayʹs Germany. The conceptual analysis at the beginning will clarify methodological terminology often confused in today’s doctrine. In this respect the difference between method of interpretation and system (school) of interpretation will be underlined. Then we will focus attention the evolutions that have marked the establishment of the current interpretive doctrine. This is a doctrinal debate developed over the nineteenth and twentieth century between competing methodological school such as subjective (advanced exegesis), the school of objective interpretation (Kohler) and the school‐ historical‐objective interpretation (Interessenjurisprudenz, von Heck ). The achievements of the debate had an essential role in establishing the standard interpretative doctrine in Germany. In the final part the analysis will deconstructs this standard doctrine. This gives an overview of a methodological theory which is among the most advanced in the world today.

THE PHILOSOPHICAL AND CULTURAL FRAMEWORK OF THE CREATIVE ACT IN LITERATURE AND MUSIC

L’ENCADREMENT PHILOSOPHIQUE ET CULTUREL DE L’ACTE CRÉATEUR DANS LA LITTÉRATURE ET LA MUSIQUE

Author(s): Mirona Bence-Muk / Language(s): / Issue: 1/2015

Keywords: aesthetics; poetics; acoustic metaphor; textual sense; musical sense.

The present article opens the philosophical and aesthetical horizon that anticipates the musical horizon and marks at the same time, at the theoretical level, the passage from aesthetics to poetics, respectively to the semantic and metaphorical categories, as initially proposed by L. Blaga and re-evaluated by E. Coşeriu. Blaga’s theory of metaphor is grounded, of course, on his philosophical conception about “the horizon” of human existence and consciousness, but also on the theses concerning a certain “spatial horizon of unconscious”, especially when referring to that kind of act of creation that is oriented toward mystery and for revelation. To this level of unconscious the philosopher also relates a new metaphorical category, which can be found at the phonological and metrical level within the word, respectively within poetry, and which he calls “acoustic metaphor”. The acoustic of the word constitutes, in fact, the basic feature that relates text to music and it is the first level which is intuitively exploited by the art-making subject. In order to exemplify the way of functioning of the “acoustic metaphorism” within the complex and deep process of sense articulation at textual level, we sketch below a complementary account to the theoretical framework presented here and refer to the exploitation of the same “expressive” (or metaphorical) dimension by the great linguist Sextil Puşcariu. More precisely, we correlate the linguist’s analysis on Mihai Eminescu’s poem Rugăciune with the analysis of one of the most recent Romanian choral composition, which uses the verses of the same poetic text.

THE FANTASTIC UNIVERSE AND LANGUAGE OF THE ”LORD OF THE RINGS” SERIES

THE FANTASTIC UNIVERSE AND LANGUAGE OF THE ”LORD OF THE RINGS” SERIES

Author(s): Oana Bădăluță / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 07/2015

Keywords: ring; sovereignty; travel; parallelism; fantastic

In the project entitled „Universe and fantastic language of Lord of the Ringsŗ I have defined and analyzed in a case study, the fantastic elements crossing the Ring trilogy, „The Fellowship of the ringŗ (2001), „The two towersŗ (2002), „Return of the Kingŗ (2003), with focus on the world which reflects fantastic indices and the reflected world: universe (fantastic), characters or beings (fantastic), objects or attributes (fantastic), actions (of fantastic nature),objects - symbol, key characters (belonging to the realm of the fantastic), mirror worlds, the principle of reflection, analysis of words or fragments which focus and outline a fantastic language and conclusions from the two worlds, one that reflects and the world of reflected (world of the above vs world of „undergroundŗ, the world of ease and relaxed, the Shire (County), in constant harmony with oneself and with others vs the world of turmoil, eager for influence and forestall on other territories, the land of nowhere, the land of orca, Mordor, by Sauron's dominance). The two worlds, like their characters, are very different and do not have a common ideal, its characteristics being opposite: tranquility vs fussiness, terror, fear, insanity; balance vs chaos, randomness, imbalance; good vs evil, cruelty, selfishness; light vs tarnish, breaking, shutdown, and so forth. The objective of this study is, by outlining the elements of fantastic nature, to focus on the parallelism of these two universal principles, two limits, up vs down, two possibilities, two powers Frodo vs Sauron.

Alienation and emancipation after the end of the world. What a theory of capitalism can learn from apocalyptic cinema

Aliénation et émancipation d’après la fin du monde. Ce qu’une théorie du capitalisme peut apprendre du cinéma apocalyptique

Author(s): Stéphane Haber / Language(s): French / Issue: 2/2014

The article discusses the possibility of gaining an appropriate ≪ representation ≫ of Capitalism, conceived as a really existing and all pervasive world. Following Fredric Jameson’s assessments about sciencefiction, it suggests that we should, for this purpose, consider the evolution of mainstream movies, and particularly the growing importance of post-apocalyptic and dystopian scenarios. The main example introduced is Cloud Atlas (L. and A. Wachowski, 2012). Some original insights about the ways we may represent alienation and emancipation today can be drawn from these films. In the absence of a totalizing theoretical synthesis, in the absence of politically stimulating expectations, the paradoxical and certainly narrow perspective offered by the retrospective point of view of the final Collapse on our problematic Present has alas to be taken seriously. The content of the category of Alienation itself is transformed by this new context.

Hanns Heinz Ewers' World War Novel "Vampir. Ein verwilderter Roman in Fetzen und Farben"

»Schwerttag, Kriegstag, Bluttag«

Author(s): Hannah Dingeldein / Language(s): German / Issue: 25/2016

Keywords: World War I; Hanns Heinz Ewers; vampire novel;

Der Beitrag thematisiert den äußerst umstrittenen, zu Lebzeiten ungemein erfolgreichen, heutzutage jedoch weitgehend in Vergessenheit geratenen deutschen Schriftsteller Hanns Heinz Ewers (1871–1943) und dessen propagandistische, pro-deutsche Rolle im Ersten Weltkrieg, vor allem mit Blick auf seinen während des Krieges verfassten Roman Vampir. Ein verwilderter Roman in Fetzen und Farben (1920). Ewers bettet nationale Ideologie in scheinbar harmlose Unterhaltungsliteratur ein, indem er – jedoch nur vordergründig – an die Tradition des Vampir-Genres anknüpft. Die ideologisch-wahnhaft zu verstehende Vampir-Motivik entpuppt sich als Symbol für den deutschen ›Blutdurst‹ während des Ersten Weltkriegs.

Representation and Diction

Repräsentation und Diktion

Author(s): Claas Morgenroth / Language(s): German / Issue: 25/2016

Keywords: World War I; Habsburg Monarchy; Ernst Weiß; exile

In seinen letzten beiden Romanen "Der Verführer" und "Der Augenzeuge", entstanden Ende der 1930er Jahre im Pariser Exil, hat Ernst Weiß versucht, die Vorgeschichte und die Folgen des Ersten Weltkriegs als Effekt einer großen, die Menschen erfassenden Kraft zu analysieren, die er auch die ›Unterseele‹ nennt. Daraus gewinnt er eine komplexe Erzählweise, die sowohl die lokalen, in der Kultur der Habsburgermonarchie situierten Umstände des Verführers als auch die Handlung des im Exil endenden Augenzeugen anleitet. Eine tragende Rolle spielt dabei das in der Theorie- und Methodengeschichte der literarischen Poetik viel diskutierte Verhältnis von Literatur und Geschichte, von Repräsentation und Diktion.

Alterity, First-Person Narratives and Memory in Paul Auster’s Works

« Altérité et écriture de soi dans l’œuvre mémorielle de Paul Auster »

Author(s): Mehdi Kochbati / Language(s): French / Issue: 2/2016

Keywords: autobiography; memory; fiction; autobiographical pact; identity; American literature; Paul Auster

If the presence of extracts from the life of the author (Paul Auster) allows us to postulate the “autobiographical” project of the memorial writing, others on the contrary confer it with a fictive project. The use of a stratagem of increased self-distancing and the multiple “mise en abyme” of identities leaves us puzzled as to the existence of an autobiographical scheme specific to Auster’s creation. Through the many forms of auctorial disguises, games of duplication, self-reflective mirroring, identity usurpation and handwritten possession, memorial writing integrates the different autobiographies of others. These are transformed into a functionalized or “real” autobiography of a subject who is a narrator, a character and an author.

Roswitha Wisniewskis history of German literature in Pomerania in the context of literary research on Pomerania

Roswitha Wisniewskis Geschichte der deutschen Literatur Pommerns im Kontext der literarischen Pommernforschung (Roswitha Wisniewski: Geschichte der deutschen Literatur Pommerns. Vom Mittelalter bis zum Beginn des 21. Jahrhunderts. Berlin: Weidler Buc

Author(s): Bartosz Wójcik / Language(s): German / Issue: 25/2016

Keywords: German literature; history of literature; Pomerania; Roswitha Wisniewski; literary research

The article provides an overview on publications that tackle the history of literature of Pomerania, concentrating on the book by Roswitha Wisniewski, published in German in 2013. Despite a relatively long tradition a culture of reading and writing and a massive number of authors who have been active in Pomerania not only in the 20th century, a history of regional literature has not yet been captured and described in its entirety. The publication by Roswitha Wisniewski offers the very first thoroughly edited and relatively lengthy review of the development of literature in Pomerania from its beginnings until today. The few notes on aspects that leave a little to be desired do not change the comprehensive importance of the book.

Religion and novel creation: the example of the African-French novel

Religion et création romanesque: l’exemple du roman africain de langue française

Author(s): Adama Samaké / Language(s): French / Issue: 4/2012

Keywords: Religious identity; cultural globalization; clash of civilizations; alienation; religious syncretism;

The September 11 attacks on the United States have rekindled the debate on the clash of civilizations. But the issue of religious otherness it embodies is transhistorical. This issue is particularly prevalent in Africa, because 70% of the traditional religions of the world are present. The construction of religious identities on this continent is consubstantial with that of alienation, because the mixing of peoples is not smooth, and “the cultural ethnocentrism” is characteristic of all civilizations. This phenomenon finds in literature one of the best means of expression. How is religious discourse oriented in African French novels? Such is the central concern underlying this article. The fact is that if the colonial novel rejects the traditional religions to celebrate the assimilation to Christianity, writers of the first generation reject the latter because it rhymes with colonialism, and value tradition. Those of the second generation set out to find a compromise between foreign religions – especially Christianity – and traditional religions. Thus arises a process of religious syncretism.

The priestly kingship of Jesus Christ. The biblical grounds and the essential ecclesial message

Kapłańska królewskość Jezusa Chrystusa. Podstawy biblijne i zasadnicze przesłanie eklezjalne

Author(s): Janusz Królikowski / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 1/2017

Keywords: Chrystus; król; królewskość; kapłaństwo; męczeństwo; uczestniczenie

Jubileuszowy „Akt przyjęcia Jezusa Chrystusa za Króla i Pana” z 19–20 listopada 2016 roku stawia przed teologami zadanie pogłębienia jego natury i jego treści. W proponowanym wykładzie zajmujemy się przede wszystkim jego podstawową treścią, którą jest królewskość Jezusa Chrystusa. Ponad wszelką wątpliwość wynika z Nowego Testamentu, że Jezus Chrystus jest królem,chociaż w całkowicie szczególnym i najbardziej wzniosłym znaczeniu. Jego królewskość ma przede wszystkim głęboki rys kapłański oraz eschatologiczny.Nie zmienia to jednak faktu, że ma ona konkretny wyraz eklezjalny, którego manifestacją są męczennicy, a następnie wszyscy świeci i dążący do świętości.

THE FANTASTIC SPECTER OF HISTORY IN THE SHADOW OF THE WIND BY CARLOS RUIZ ZAFÓN

LE SPECTRE FANTASTIQUE DE L’HISTOIRE DANS L’OMBRE DU VENT DE CARLOS RUIZ ZAFÓN

Author(s): DUBOIS Grégory / Language(s): French / Issue: 23/2018

Keywords: Roman contemporain – Histoire – Guerre civile – Spectre – Carlos Ruiz Zafón

L’ombre du vent, premier roman de la tétralogie « Le Cimetière des Livres Oubliés » publié en 2001 par Carlos Ruiz Zafón, est peuplé de fantômes – mi-humain « mi-mort-pour-la-société » – à l’image de Julián Carax, auteur méconnu et énigmatique du roman L’ombre du vent sauvé de l’oubli par le jeune Daniel Sampere qui découvrit le Cimetière des Livres Oubliés à l’aube de ses 11 ans. Le mystérieux auteur revient alors, très souvent de nuit, sous les traits de Laín Coubert pour finir son travail d’annihilation de son œuvre et, dans le même temps, de sa propre existence. On peut considérer le double Laín Coubert-Julián Carax comme le reflet spectral fantastique de l’histoire de la post-guerre civile espagnole et de sa destructrice « machine de l’oubli », qui apparaît et disparaît, esquivant l’inquiétant Fumero. Ainsi Laín-Julián ne serait-il rien d’autre que le spectre fantastique de l’Histoire barcelonaise et espagnole qui se reflète dans son histoire individuelle en pleine destruction. Cette étude s’intéressera tour à tour aux apparitions spectrales de Laín-Julián comme reflet d’une vie personnelle tumultueuse et autodestructrice, elle-même, reflet d’une Histoire caractérisée par une mémoire collective refoulée sur fond d’ambiance inquiétante car mystérieuse et double.

From trauma to novel. Memory and representation in the work of Rastko Petrović (1898–1949)

Du traumatisme au roman

Author(s): Dunja S. Dušanić / Language(s): French / Issue: 49/2018

Keywords: Rastko Petrović;1914-1918 in Serbian Literature;Literary Testimony Novel;Memory of the Great War;

Cet article se penche sur la relation entre la mémoire de la Grande Guerre dans la culture serbe et sa représentation dans l’œuvre de Rastko Petrović. Profondément marqué par la guerre, mais surtout par les événements de la retraite par l’Albanie, Petrović a passé presque toute sa vie à essayer de briser son silence initial et d’exprimer ce qu’il avait vécu pendant l’hiver 1915. Partant d’un long poème narratif, « Le Grand compagnon » (1926), en passant par un roman court, Huit semaines (1935), jusqu’à son dernier ouvrage, Le sixième jour (1955), une véritable fresque épique, l’écriture de Petrović porte la double trace d’un travail de mémoire intime et d’une quête artistique visant à représenter un traumatisme à la fois personnel et collectif. En décrivant les différentes étapes de ce travail, j’essaierai de démontrer les aspects dans lesquelles il correspond aux représentations officielles de 14–18, ainsi qu’à la mémoire collective de ce conflit

Some More Thoughts on Künstlerroman: The German Approach (with a Few Excursions)

Jeszcze o Künstlerroman. Perspektywa germanistyczna (z kilkoma ekskursami)

Author(s): Nina Nowara-Matusik / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 36/2018

Keywords: Künstlerroman; German and Polish literary studies; German literature; artist; the Romantic period; definition problems

This paper deals with the problem of using of the German term Künstlerroman (meaning artist-novel) in the German and Polish literary studies. It describes and comments some analytical contexts and contemporary approaches, focusing on the encyclopedic and lexical sources. The conclusion is, that the term Künstlerroman still has not been defined perfectly and needs further exploring, especially in the light of the category gender and contemporary narrative theories.
