IGRE IDENTITETA

Author(s): Bojana Janković / Language(s): Serbian / Issue: 146-147/2009

Veliki je izazov prepričati dramu Sanjari austrijskog modernističkog pisca Roberta Muzila. Tri ogromna čina ovog komada od elemenata klasične dramatrugije beže kao đavo od krsta: svi bitni događaji zbili su se ili pre drame, ili van naše vizure, a ono malo što se pred nama i desi iniciraju uglavnom epizodni likovi koji nemaju umnu visinu protagonista, kao da je delanje sramotno i nedostojno vrhunskih intelektualaca. Četiri glavna lika, svi u ranim tridesetim i u različitim fazama odustajanja od filozofskih ideala, povezana su složenom mrežom ljubavnih i prijateljskih odnosa, koje razrešavaju, pre svega, opširnim i minucioznim razmišljanjem, te neverovatno objektivnom i iscrpnom introspektivnom analizom svojih postupaka, emocija i planova.

Iz Rilkeove prepiske s princezom

Author(s): Borislav Radović / Language(s): Serbian / Issue: 57-58/2017

Povodom stogodišnjice početka Velikog rata, kad se na sve strane počela brisati prašina sa raznih javnih i privatnih dokumenata za nove naraštaje radoznalaca, učinilo mi se da bi bilo zanimljivo potražiti odjeke ondašnjih zbivanja u jednoj od poznatijih prepiski onoga doba. To je prepiska između Rilkea i princeze Marije fon Turn und Taksis Hoenloe, čije puno protokolarno ime upućuje na neke od najuglednijih porodica evropske aristokratije.

JEAN AMÉRY’NİN “LEFEU ODER DER ABBRUCH” ADLI ROMANINDA ATEŞ İMGESİ

Author(s): Hatice Genç / Language(s): Turkish / Issue: 39/2017

In this article the fire image is investigated in the novel “Lefeu oder der Abbruch” by Austrian writer / philosopher Jean Améry who was described as "the survivor of the concentration camps” during the World War II. It is aimed to bring to light how this image is handled by the author. In this respect, the meanings hidden in the frame of the fire image are emerging. Therefore, the fire image is considered from the mythological, historical, sociological and psychological point of view. As a Nazi victim, the author has placed the plot in historical and social context. In this regard, there are some references to the Second World War from the author's life. In this study, an author-centered attitude was adopted as the method used in addition to text-based approach.

Ein bibliographischer Kommentar zum Wiener Kaffeehaus als Desiderat der literatur‑wissenschaftlichen Gedächtnisforschung

Author(s): Markus Grill / Language(s): German / Issue: 1/2020

Man könnte meinen, dass zum Wiener Kaffeehaus längst alles gesagt sei. Die zahl losen Bücher scheinen altes Wissen seit Jahrzehnten zu reproduzieren. Es liegt nahe, die nachhaltige Präsenz des Themas durch erfolgreiches Marketing zu erklären, das sich das simple Traditionsbewusstsein und Nostalgiebedürfnis der Menschen zunutze macht. Der Mythos vom Wiener Kaffeehaus wäre demnach ein reines Markenprodukt. Den unbestrittenen wirtschaftlichen Zusammenhängen liegen allerdings geschichts mächtige Prozesse kultureller Sinnkonstruktion ursächlich zugrunde. Sie zu negieren bedeutet, einen anti wissenschaftlichen Abwehrmechanismus von Gesellschaften zu bedienen. Er soll die Integrität ihrer erfundenen Traditionen vor kritischem Zugriff schützen. Tatsächlich ist die wiederkehrende Rede vom Wiener Kaffeehaus Ausdruck einer kollektiven Verständigung über die gemeinsame Geschichte der Nation Öster reich und damit auch über die Bedingungen der Zusammengehörigkeit zu ihr und über die Selbst- und Fremdbilder von ihr. Diese identitätsstiftende Wirkungskraft des Wiener Kaffeehauses ist bis heute nicht ergründet.

Aktivity Heinricha Herbatschka ve Vídni, v Brně a v Praze

Author(s): Jan Budňák / Language(s): Czech / Issue: 33/2020

This paper summarizes the mediation activities of Heinrich Herbatschek (1877 Vsetín — 1956 Vienna) in both Czech- and German-language environments between Vienna, Moravia and Prague. The author concludes that Herbatschek saw the potential of this mediation especially in the cultural field, putting it in more or less sharp contrast to the antagonistic political discourse. Systems of ideas compatible with this basic attitude were pacifism, for example (the essay Unser Seelenleben im Völkerkriege, 1915), and apolitical socialism (e.g. essays in the cosmopolitan magazine Die Wahrheit in Brno around 1920). Above all, however, it presented a fundamental criticism of strategies of othering based on national self-identification (as in the Moravian novel Ist die Liebe tot?, 1921). We find this ethos, which Herbatschek came to embrace as a student and translator of Masaryk (Die Ideale der Humanität, 1902), across the various spheres of cultural and social life that Herbatschek engaged in, which is to say as translator and reviewer of Czech modernism in the early 20th century, as a networker, writer and publisher in the German-Czech Committee and the Moravian Club in Vienna on the eve of World War I, as chairman of the Austrian-Czechoslovak Society and publisher of its magazine Der Nachbar (1929–1936), and as promoter of tourism between Austria and Czechoslovakia

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.

Kulturorientierte Betrachtungen des Familienbildes in der österreichischen Prosa der Gegenwart

Author(s): Monika Wójcik-Bednarz / Language(s): German / Issue: 29/2020

The article concerns the monograph by Joanna Ławnikowska-Koper Literarisierung der Familie im österreichischen Roman der Gegenwart, which presents (from a cultural-research perspective) the literary image of families as the topos of contemporary Austrian literature. The conceptual and narrative strategies that dominate the family’s literarisation in the examined texts cover four semantic areas: the issue of identity, the issue of modernisation, axiological issues – the system of values and everyday life. The texts allow for an interdisciplinary reflection on the literary family, while the historical and literary background is important to consideration of the specific Austrian cultural code in the context of the distinctiveness of Austrian literature.

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.’’

Literatur und Wissen in Johann Gabriel Seidls virtuellen Wanderungen durch Tyrol und Steyermark

Author(s): Marija Javor Briški / Language(s): German / Issue: Sondernr./2018

Johann Gabriel Seidl, an author of the Biedermeier era who came to the Styrian province from the capital of Austria for professional reasons in 1829, published his travelogue Wanderungen durch Tyrol und Steyermark in 1840/41. The article is based on two hypotheses: 1. that the content of the transmitted knowledge regarding the ex-Habsburg provinces are subject to the intent of the author, who is influenced by the historical context, and to the specific commissions regarding his work; 2. that the connection of professional discourses on knowledge transfer and evident literary discourses is not counterproductive but rather useful for generating and transfering knowledge of both the countries. After a short biographical presentation of the author and his placement in the Biedermeier era, the article addresses the organisation of knowledge generated in the travelogue, the perspectivization and transfer of knowledge and the literarization of the historical discourse on the example of the history of Tyrol.

LITERATUR VS. ENGAGEMENT EINIGE ANMERKUNGEN ZU PETER HANDKES ELFENBEINTURM

Author(s): Anđelka Ž. Krstanović / Language(s): German / Issue: 18/1/2017

The aim of this paper is to elucidate the programmatic essay of Peter Handke's I Am a resident of the Ivory Tower in the context of the relationship between literature and engagement. Handke’s firm positions are recognizable in his conviction of the power of literature, which is directed towards a change in man`s consciousness. They are an all-encompassing guide to the author’s oeuvre. For this reason, a particular interest here is committed to the position of Engaged Literature, which, according to Handke, as an arbitrary attitude creates a judging, normative image of reality. Finally, the triad self-reflectionlanguage- form is to be discussed as a literary mechanism for the design of a new way of life.

Literatura austriacka na łamach „Literatury na Świecie”

Author(s): Elżbieta Hurnik / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 1/2017

The article deals with the reception of Austrian literature – as it has been presented in “Literatura na Świecie” – since the magazine was founded in 1971. The main goal has been to analyze the ways in which the magazine has contributed to the spread of literature among Polish readers. Because of the breadth of the topic, the article focuses on specific problems in: the representativeness of the works printed or excerpted, the portrayal of Austrian writers, the reviews of texts, critical reviews, translations, and discussions regarding translations. The analysis indicates that the magazine has contributed to the expansion of knowledge concerning Austrian literature and its main representatives, (Rainer Maria Rilke, Robert Musil, Elias Canetti, Franz Kafka, Georg Trakl, Paul Celan, Ilse Aichinger, Elfriede. Jelinek and others , and others), their specificity, along with the historical and cultural conditions of the literature and its proponents.
