ADALBERT STIFTER’İN DER HOCHWALD ADLI YAPITINDA İZLEKSEL ÖĞELER: DOĞA VE ORMAN

Author(s): Yildiz Aydin / Language(s): Turkish / Issue: 7/2016

Adalbert Stifter (1805-1868) is one of the controversial authors of the 19th century. Underappreciated in his time, he was praised and his works listed as one of the most important works of German literature by Friedrich Nietzsche and Thomas Mann whereas Friedrich Hebbel and Hugo von Hofmannsthal find him boring. The criticism towards him is usually centered around his focus on nature and forest depictions and a disregard for the inner worlds of his characters. In German literature, discussed in the context of realism and the Biedermeier era, the author follows the reflection theory of the realist era by representing his observations directly and in terms of content, he reflects the Biedermeier era’s features such as depictions of familial settings, peaceful life, commitment to nature and religious belief and patriotism. As in all of his works, nature and forest hold a special place in Stifter’s Der Hochwald: he shares his observations about trees, leaves, soil, animals of the forest, meteorological events such as rain and storm in great detail. In this study, we analyze how nature was represented, its importance for the narrator and the characters, predominant theme of loneliness in the novel, shelter and maturation themes in the context of thematic criticism. On the other hand, does the author actually not take heed of the emotional and psychological aspects as per the criticisms towards his work or does he envision it in a different manner? We are searching for answers to these kinds of questions via historical and autobiographical references.

Autobiografska bilješka

Author(s): Stefan Zweig / Language(s): Croatian / Issue: 1-2/2017

Ja sam, piše Stefan Zweig, rođen 28. studenog 1881. u Beču i tamo sam pohađao školu, već u gimnaziji nije samo meni, nego čitavoj skupini nas, bavljenje umjetnošću bio nepriznat cilj, a uživanje u umjetnosti zajednička strast.

Bancbanus – ungarisch, österreichisch, kroatisch

Zur Inszenierung eines umstrittenen historischen Stoffes im 19. Jahrhundert

Author(s): Marijan Bobinac / Language(s): German / Issue: 24/2015

This article presents three dramatics adaptations of the same historic material: the medieval Hungarian aristocrat Bánk (ger. Bancbanus, cro. Benko Bot) appears as the hero in historical plays by the Hungarian author József Katona, German-Austrian Franz Grillparzer and Croatian Franjo Marković. Although these three authors differ greatly in their aesthetic and political positions, they nevertheless share a joint goal: to prompt reflection on the joint (super)national state design against the backdrop of nation building in the Danube Monarchy and the related strengthening of centripetal tendencies.

Demiurg jest dwoistością. Alfred Kubin i Bruno Schulz – próba porównania

Author(s): Krzysztof Lipowski / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 2/2013

Both Bruno Schulz and Aflred Kubin moved freely between image and word. In their artistic quests they first turned toward the iconic and only then chose the verbal art.In Schulz’s work, the relationship between woman and man is reduced to adoration. Schulz’s man knows that the beauty he admires is beyond his reach, while Kubin reaches further. For him, the sexual act means loss of masculinity. The Austrian draughtsman approaches sexual desire as difficult to control, sometimes animal in its forms, whilefor Schulz desire is subtler and more sublimated. Both Schulz and Kubin addressed theproblem of limited and imperfect reality which sustains the artist’s imagination while he tries to improve it. Both also surprised the audience with their teriomorphic ideas.In the age when most painters preferred chromatic richness, both Kubin and Schulz chose drawing and etching. They preferred techinques which stressed the realtionship of light and color. White and black, making an ascetic combination, let them achieve the maximum of expression. Their works are visions of somnambulists.

Der Journalist als Detektiv

Kischs "Der Fall des Generalstabschefs Redl" und die Reportage der Neuen Sachlichkeit

Author(s): Christian Kirchmeier / Language(s): German / Issue: 25/2016

Der Spionagefall des Oberst Redl war einer der großen Skandale am Vorabend des Ersten Weltkrieges. Der Beitrag untersucht die literarische Bearbeitung der historischen Ereignisse in Egon Erwin Kischs "Der Fall des Generalstabschefs Redl" (1924) und entwickelt zwei Thesen: Erstens soll gezeigt werden, dass Kischs Fiktionalisierung dieser Reportage einer neusachlichen Poetik nicht etwa entgegensteht, sondern im Gegenteil für die Neue Sachlichkeit programmatisch ist. Zweitens soll der Nachweis erbracht werden, dass der Text ein Dokument für die Genese einer Überwachungsgesellschaft ist, in der die Kontrolle über die Kommunikationsmedien zum kriegsentscheidenden Faktor wird.

Die Poetik der Stadt in der Lyrik von Rainer Maria Rilke und Aleksandr Blok

Author(s): Mária Gyöngyösi / Language(s): German / Issue: 1/2012

The aim of this paper is to open up the typological parallelisms (motives, colors, and the position of the lyrical “me”) between the city imageries of Rilke and Blok. The analysis covers Rilke’s lyrics and Blok’s three cycles (The City, Terrible World and Italian Verses). The comparative analysis focuses on the poetry of their hometowns (Prague and St. Petersburg), that of modern cities, and of Italian towns visited by the authors. The question of the modern city and the criticism of civilization represent several similarities in the two p o e ts’ works, but the secessionist garden, park, and castle motives occur only in Rilke’s poetry. The topics of Venice and St. Petersburg, which are related to each other in many ways, are formulated in the objective lyrics of Rilke’s volume New Poems.

Die Reaktionen österreichischer Schriftsteller auf den Kriegseintritt Italiens am Beispiel der D’Annunzio-Rezeption

Author(s): Arturo Larcati / Language(s): German / Issue: 25/2016

Die vorliegende Studie analysiert die Reaktionen österreichischer Schriftsteller auf Italiens Kriegseintritt an der Seite der Entente im Mai 1915. Der Fokus liegt auf der D’Annunzio-Rezeption, weil der Autor der Laudi für diesen Schritt Italiens verantwortlich gemacht wird. Alles, was im österreichischen Literaturbetrieb Rang und Namen hat, beteiligt sich an der heftigen Polemik gegen den italienischen Dichter; dabei profiliert sich speziell Stefan Zweig – ein Umstand, der bisher in der Forschung unbeachtet geblieben ist. Die heftige Auseinandersetzung bietet den Autoren der Wiener Moderne die Möglichkeit, mit ihrer bisherigen D’Annunzio-Faszination abzurechnen.

EIGENKULTUR – FREMDKULTUR

Author(s): Pál Deréky / Language(s): German / Issue: 1/2003

Im Jahre 1909 brachen der Wiener Aktivist Rober Müller (1887–1924) und der Budapester Aktivist Lajos Kassák (1887–1967) zu einer jeweils exotischen Reise auf: Müller bereiste die Vereinigten Staaten, Mexiko, sowie einige Länder Mittelund Südamerikas, Kassák pilgerte nach Paris; er brauchte für seinen Fußmarsch etwa drei Monate. Es war nicht der Geist der Moderne oder der Avantgarde, die er dort suchte – „ich sah Paris und ich sah nichts“, schrieb er später –, es ging ihm, wie auch Müller im Urwald, um die eigene Wiedergeburt als „neuer Mensch“, als Literat mit großer Öffentlichkeitswirkung. Die Berichte beider Ich-Reisen wurden in Wien verlegt, Müllers erschien 1915, Kassáks 1922 (dt. 1923). Müller und Kassák lebten 1920–1924 in derselben Stadt und hatten sicher Kenntis über die Arbeit des jeweils anderen. Dass sie einander nie auch nur mit einem Wort erwähnt haben, liegt daran, dass (vereinfacht gesagt) Kassáks Konzeption der Massenwirksamkeit eine linke war, während die von Müller eher aus Begriffen der rechten Ideologien bestand.

Franz Werfel – držeći povijest za riječ

Author(s): Rüdiger Görner / Language(s): Croatian / Issue: 1-2/2014

Pripovijedanje smatra da povijest neutralizira pripovijesti1. Povijest može epizodno nadahnjivati pripovijesti, ali pripovijesti ne mogu tražiti da budu povijesna istina. Ipak, pripovijest koja zorno prikazuje povijesne događaje ima svoju vrijednost zbog sposobnosti predaje. U takvim narativnim konstelacijama, da upotrijebimo pojam znanstvenice Kate Hamburger, “estetska istina” stoji uz bok povijesne istine. Iz određenja relacije između ove dvije istine rezultira specifi čna vrijednost književnog djela, romana, “Četrdeset dana Muse Dagha”.

Hermann Bahr, južni Slaveni, austrijska politika i književnost kao pitanje

Author(s): Ivan Pederin / Language(s): Croatian / Issue: 44/2016

The Austrian author Hermann Bahr, who is considered the head of the Austrian Moderne a leading personality of this group he tried to create some points of orientation in the new mouvement in literature. First he created an idea of that what he defi ned Naturalismus. For Naturalismus he understood most of the literature up to his time. He did not write a systematic analysis of Naturalismus, he condemned it making exception to a handful of great authors of past times. Moderne was a literature free of any anegdotes or commenting style, which is a landmark of Naturalismus. Literature is not a narration but a Form . Bahr wrote a book on Goethe. That is not his biography (the Germanistik has abundant notice of his life) but a view on Goethe in the eyes of his acquiantances and friends. Goethe wasnot a voluble man sometime talkative and sometime not. And fi nally Goethe was not a happy person. This Goethe-picture could be ranged to Baudelaires poetemaudit. It is a perfect non-academic pamphlet. And fi nally Bahr wrote on the political situation of the Empire and its Kingdoms of his time. He wrote that being the small man of the street who had not insigt in the activities of the goverment because Austria-Hungary still was an absolutist Monarchy.

Hugo von Hofmannsthals Kriegsziel-Notizen im Kontext deutscher und österreichischer Südosteuropa-Konzepte im Ersten Weltkrieg

Author(s): Primus-Heinz Kucher / Language(s): German / Issue: 25/2016

Ausgehend von den im Zuge der kritischen Werkausgabe erstmals vollständig edierten Notizen und Aufzeichnungen Hofmannsthals zum Ersten Weltkrieg befasst sich der Beitrag mit dem Stellenwert und der Art dieser Notizen und Reflexionen. In weiterer Folge werden diese mit den für die »Neue Freie Presse« verfassten Kriegsfeuilletons sowie mit den relevanten Briefwechseln (v.a. mit E. Bodenhausen, Harry Graf Kessler, J. Redlich) abgeglichen. Schließlich rekonstruiert der Beitrag die bei Hofmannstahl nachweisbaren Lektüren zeitgenössischer Kriegszielpublikationen und kontrastiert sie mit den eigenen, stärker kulturpolitisch ausgerichteten Vorträgen und Publikationsvorhaben zwischen 1915 und 1917.

Konjunktivistisches Denken oder der Erste Weltkrieg als Lehrstück in Literatur und Wissenschaft

Author(s): Christine Magerski / Language(s): German / Issue: 25/2016

Im Sommer 1914 immatrikulierte sich Joseph Roth an der Wiener Germanistik, wo er gedachte, eine Universitätslaufbahn einzuschlagen. Der Plan scheiterte am Ausbruch des Ersten Weltkriegs. Statt einer Professur widmete sich Roth fortan dem Versuch, literarisch zu begreifen, was sich ereignet hatte. Vergleichbares unternimmt einhundert Jahre später der Politikwissenschaftler Herfried Münkler. Was beide verbindet, so die These, ist der Zweifel an der »Erzählung der Zwangsläufigkeit des Krieges« (Münkler). Wie detailliert gezeigt wird, liegt dem Konvergieren von Literatur und Wissenschaft eine Öffnung beider für die Kontingenz der Ereignisse und der kontrafaktischen Geschichte zugrunde.

Látlelet a Monarchiáról

Arthur Schnitzler

Author(s): Magdolna Orosz / Language(s): Hungarian / Publication Year: 0

Arthur Schnitzler was one of the most prominent representants of the so-called „Jung Wien”, i.e. the group of Vienna intellectuals, writers and artists around 1900. His dramatical and narrative works demonstrate characteristic traits, social, intellectual and aesthetical problems, and figu-res of the late k.u.k.-Monarchy, and although he was often considered as an author contributing to the „Habsburg myth”, he had a very sceptical and critical view about his time and the Vienna society of the turn of the century. Schnitzler’s works account i.a. for the ’language crisis’, the crisis of personality in a very special manner, and in his novellas he introduces experimental narrative tools (e.g. multiperspectivism, interior monologue, unreliability) which makes him to a prominently modern author.

Vergessene österreichische Weltkriegsromane der Zwischenkriegszeit

Author(s): Wynfrid Kriegleder / Language(s): German / Issue: 25/2016

Der Beitrag gilt zwei in den 1920er Jahren erschienenen, seither nicht wieder aufgelegten österreichischen Romanen über den Ersten Weltkrieg. "Der anonyme Krieg" von Rudolf Geist, einem Außenseiter im Literaturbetrieb, der sich an Karl Kraus orientierte, strebt eine umfassende Darstellung des Kriegs und eine Entlarvung der Kriegsgewinnler an, scheitert allerdings, da Geists sprachliche Kompetenz seinem lobenswerten Engagement nicht gewachsen war. "Der Marsch ins Chaos" des ›deutsch-tschechischen‹ sozialdemokratischen Publizisten Josef Hofbauer orientiert sich an Remarques "Im Westen nichts Neues" und thematisiert die Besonderheiten an der österreichischen Front, vor allem den Nationalitätenkonflikt.

Lindja e Albanologjisë sipas shkrimeve Gjermane dhe Austriake

Author(s): Albert Doja / Language(s): Albanian / Issue: 46/2016

In this paper, author aimed to contribute to the debate about hegemonic relations between the West European ‘‘core’’ and southeast European ‘‘margins,’’ by showing the links between mutually challenged and engendered quasi-anthropological traditions in the totalitarian projects of nation-building and empire-building. New aspects of a continuous resonance were addressed between a politically instrumentalized Albanian tradition of ‘‘folk’’ or people’s culture studies (kultura popullore) and a German-speaking tradition of Volks- and Völkerkunde grounded in Herderean Romanticism and the imperial ambitions of the nineteenth century. In the course of discussion the successive German traditions of National Socialist Volkskunde and Communist East German Ethnographie, until the revised tradition of Europaische Ethnologie in the 1990s, are shown to operate from a historicist tradition rather than from a critical tradition as a reflexive successor to former Volkskunde. In the course of this discussion, he paid particular attention to contextualizing the historical and current production of knowledge by the German and Austrian ‘‘West’’ on a Balkan and Albanian culture, which is reduced to its archaic or pre-modern ‘‘traditions’’ and its specific or antiquated ‘‘mentalities.’’
