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.

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: 1/2016

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

Author(s): Arturo Larcati / Language(s): German / Issue: 1/2016

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.

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: 1/2016

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: 1/2016

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.

Vergessene österreichische Weltkriegsromane der Zwischenkriegszeit

Author(s): Wynfrid Kriegleder / Language(s): German / Issue: 1/2016

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.’’

Makroprizma

Author(s): Relja Dražic / Language(s): Serbian / Issue: 296/1983

Pre no Što je končarska firma »Viler« u Hamburgu razvila svoj uzgredni goblen-gešeft, nudeći pospođama sheme slika »stanh majstora«, po kojima su ih mogle same ponovo oličiti, samo ako bi za određene rupice koristile tačno određene, shemom predviđene bojene konce, koje je liferovala firma - dakie, pre toga, jedan mladi slikar je za male pare u nekom berlinskom časopisu za dame činio nešto primitivniju shematizaciju: on je prosto razlagao kolorističku strukturu slika na elementarne kvadratne jedinice i dobijene tipove boja obeležavao posebnim znacima, pa ih ucrtavao u kvadratiće, ostavijajući na volju damama da same izaberu boje. Jedini je uslov bio taj da bude očuvano pripisivanje nekog znaka uvek istoj boji. Međutim, ideja mladog umetnika nije imala uspeha kod publike. Gobleni nisu ličili.

Mythen , Märchen Und Träume Als Typische Merkmale Der Postmodernen Literatur In Martin Mosebachs Roman ”Die Türk In“ Im Vergle Ich Mit Peter Handkes “Mein Jahr In Der Niemandsbucht “ Und Orhan Pamuks ”Die Weisse Festung“

Author(s): Sedat Ince / Language(s): German / Issue: 80/2014

Contemporary postmodern writers often use elements of myth, fairy tales and dream, and as a result, it enables them to intertwine between different time periods or to create a mixture of reality, fairy tale and dream. In this way, they are able to transmit fantastic elements into a realist narration by making reality relative and put forth illusory knowledge transfer of our senses. This unlimited freedom of narration, mostly preferred by postmodern writers, is expressed in the works of contemporary writers by way of putting together all the contrasts creatively. Nevertheless, these unrealistic narrative elements used in a particular frame help the writer to reflect his sense of reality freely. As an example of this, Martin Mosebach’s 1999 novel “Die Türkin” is analyzed here. In this novel, a young German academician who is on the peak of his career, falls in love with a Turkish girl who lives in Germany and instead of going to America for furthering his career, he comes to Turkey after her. Thus, novel creates levels of narration where cultures of east and west collide with each other and this changes the perception of reality. In this study, the novel is analyzed by focusing on these historical myths, fairy tales and dreams used in the narrative. After a brief summary of the plot, the sections related to mythology, fairy tale and dreams are selected, quoted and interpreted. At last, the same narrative elements of “Die Türkin” are compared to the Austrian novelist Peter Handke’s novel “Mein Jahr in der Niemandsbucht“ and the Turkish novelist Orhan Pamuk’s novel “The White Castle ”. The common or similar usages of postmodern elements in these novels are analyzed.

Ojciec po śmierci ojca – (post)lacanowski ateizm w spojrzeniu z Odradka

Author(s): Przemyslaw Tacik / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 2/2015

The paper calls into question the status of (post)Lacanian atheism as can be inferred from writings of Lacan himself (mainly seminaries XI, XVIII, XX and XXIII) and Slavoj Žižek. Such atheism is based on the inexistence of “the Other of the Other”, which, however, cannot be merely stated, but must take the form of an injunction. In this postlacanian logic, true atheists are not those who deny the existence of God – even in its symbolic functions – but those who – actively relying on the absence of “the Other of the Other” – are able to carry out fundamental shifts within the symbolic structure of the Other. Yet, this atheism, which might be viewed as one of the strongest forms of denying the divine, is based itself on the monotheistic grid. Drawing upon some remarks from the late writings of Freud, the paper aims to reveal the inner, self-referential logic of the Father, whose position is preserved and strengthened after the actual death of the Father. Postlacanian atheism might be conceived of as the latest form of fatherly self-grounding, in which divine position perpetuates itself under the cover of injunctions to radical atheism. Finally, the paper propounds an interpretation of Kafka’s short story “The Cares of a Family Man” (“Die Sorge des Hausvaters”), in which the enigmatic figure of “Odradek” – a deathless half-object, half-creature – stands for the final material embodiment of the futile injunction to renounce the divine. Thus Odradek epitomises the Law, which is nothing but an insoluble rattle, emptied from the tension of desire, in front of which Kafka’s characters are forced to wait.

Persiflage oder Verherrlichung des k.u.k. Heerführers Conrad von Hötzendorf?

Die Polemik um Miroslav Krležas Zeitungstext "Barun Konrad" (1915)

Author(s): Marijan Bobinac / Language(s): German / Issue: 1/2016

Ein Artikel über die kriegsstrategischen Kompetenzen des k.u.k. Generalstabschefs Conrad von Hötzendorf, veröffentlicht in der Zagreber Tageszeitung »Obzor« im April 1915 unter dem Titel "Barun Konrad", brachte ihrem Autor Miroslav Krleža nach Kriegsende, im neubegründeten SHS-Königreich, heftige Angriffe ein. Gegen die Vorwürfe der Austrophilie und eines verlogenen Pazifismus polemisierte Krleža – bereits als unerbittlicher Kritiker der politischen Verhältnisse in der Donaumonarchie wie auch im neuen südslawischen Staat profiliert – mehrmals und suchte dabei zu zeigen, wie seine Gegner die literarische Ironie für bare Münze nahmen und im gleichen Zuge für politische Zwecke instrumentalisierten.

Recepcija Karla Krausa u Jugoslaviji

Author(s): Obrad Savic / Language(s): Serbian / Publication Year: 0

O Karlu Krausu se u Jugoslaviji pisalo još to- kom života ovog izuzetno razornog satiričara, koji je, pored drugih, austrijsku književnost učinio svetskom. Veoma rano je nametnuta specifična političko – jezička recepcija koja je odredila dalji tok pretežno polarizovanih političkih debata. Veliki virtuoz reči, koji je u svojim dramama, satirama i aforizmima negovao platonovsku ljubav prema nemačkom jeziku, recipiran je u okruženju osobenog ‘srednjoevropskog komparativizma’, u ambijentu centralnoevropske kulturnog miljea ličenog napadne ‘pangermanske’ konotacije.

REMINISCENCIJA KAO STVARALAČKI REFLEKS

Author(s): Dejan Aleksic / Language(s): Serbian / Issue: 448/2007

Lektira jednog pesnika koji naporno i brižljivo uspostavlja sopstvenu stvaralačku individualnost, može imati nepredvidive refleksije na njegovo stvaralaštvo. Međutim, ne događa se retko da neki od određujućih uticaja uz koje osvajamo vlastiti izraz, nisu ujedno i determinante našeg razvojnog stvaralačkog puta. Ovde, dakle, govorimo o razlici između uticaja određenih konkretnih poetika, čvrsto utemeljenih u književno-istorijskom kontekstu i pesničkih uticaja koji se odnose isključivo na senzibilisanje unutrašnjeg sveta stvaraoca ili, da budemo slikovitiji, pejzaža duše.

Traumlogiken des Krieges

Alexander Lernet-Holenia und der Erste Weltkrieg in der Habsburger Monarchie

Author(s): Oliver Jahraus / Language(s): German / Issue: 1/2016

In dem Erzählwerk von Alexander Lernet-Holenia (1897-1976) wird der Erste Weltkrieg aus einer besonderen Perspektive auf das österreichisch-ungarische Kaiserreich mit einem geographischen Schwerpunkt auf dem Balkan geschildert. Für den Blick auf diesen Raum ist Lernet-Holenias Erzählwerk deswegen so bedeutsam, weil er Geopolitik, eine ausgeklügelte Erzähltechnik und eine spezifische Modernität der Literatur verbindet. Der Beitrag zeigt an der Novelle Der Baron Bagge (1936) und am Roman Die Standarte (1934), wie der Autor ein Modell von Kriegsliteratur entfaltet, das als Traumlogik des Krieges beschrieben wird und mit dem er bspw. die prekäre Frage nach der postimperialen Identität Österreichs aufgreifen kann.
