Textual Entanglements - Handke, Bernhard, Rilke, And The Materiality Of Literature

de Jacob Haubenreich

~~218,63€~~ 196,77€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Textual Entanglements explores how the material processes of writing manifest in the published works of three twentieth-century Austrian authors: Peter Handke, Thomas Bernhard, and Rainer Maria Rilke. These authors left behind material traces of their writing processes, whether in notebooks, piles of disorganized typewritten sheets, or manuscript fragments. The materials do not merely act as containers for their texts: They spill into the semantic content of the writing, becoming entangled in it. The idiosyncratic materials and methods of the writing process do not disappear when the work enters print. Examining these material traces, Textual Entanglements contends that we cannot fully understand these texts' semantic dynamics without considering the material circumstances of their production. Jacob Haubenreich reads Handke, Bernhard, and Rilke to argue that the materiality of textual production opens up a broader semiotic field in which meaning can be created. Haubenreich's book offers a theoretical framework and methodological models for integrating analysis of textual materiality into literary analysis in ways that expand the boundaries of literary interpretation.

The Feeling Of The Form - Empathy And Aesthetics From Büchner To Rilke

de Joseph R. Metz

~~27,81€~~ 25,03€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The Feeling of the Form explores the concept of Einfuehlung—the projection of human feelings and life into inanimate forms—developed by German aesthetic theorists in the late nineteenth century. The word would be translated into English as "empathy" and migrate in meaning from the aesthetic to the interpersonal sphere. Combining close analysis and cultural "para-history," The Feeling of the Form reads literary texts by Georg Buechner, Adalbert Stifter, and Rainer Maria Rilke alongside philosophical texts by Robert Vischer, Vernon Lee, and Theodor Lipps to uncover the often-uncanny intersections of aesthetic and interpersonal empathy.Traveling both backward and forward in time from the 1873 invention of Einfuehlung, Joseph R. Metz traces the diverse and multidirectional exchanges among subjects and objects, feelings and forms, and selves and others that together yield an expanded understanding of Einfuehlung, empathy, and the connections between them. In its surprising juxtapositions, The Feeling of the Form also shows how nineteenth- and early twentieth-century texts prefigure a wide array of later thought, including affect theory, "other minds," artificial intelligence, object-oriented ontology, and cinema and video game aesthetics.

Theater Of The Void - Plasticity, Hauntology, And Nuclear Blast

de Teresa Kovacs

~~23,84€~~ 21,46€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Theater of the Void explores contemporary German theater in the aftermath of the technology of the atomic bomb. Informed by threats of total annihilation—whether through nuclear technology or, more recently, global warming—German-language theater since the late 1970s encounters the void not as empty space or nothingness but as the possibility of radical transformation. Theater of the Void investigates theatrical forms that transform fundamental categories of time, space, and causality in light of the ontological and epistemological shifts of the nuclear age. Teresa Kovacs focuses on four directors and playwrights whose works offer insights into the theater of the void: Heiner Müller, Elfriede Jelinek, Christoph Schlingensief, and René Pollesch. Kovacs shows that contemporary German theater has not turned away from the sciences after Hiroshima and Nagasaki but has remained entangled with scientific thinking about quantum physics, biology, and the environment. Investigating these entanglements, Theater of the Void finds in the works of these German theater-makers a grammar of the void that speaks to the possibilities of a transformed theater in the Anthropocene.

Unsettling Difference - Music Drama, The Bible, And The Critique Of German Jewish Identity

de Adi Nester

~~23,84€~~ 21,46€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Unsettling Difference challenges the major-minor pattern that has framed discussions of German Jewish difference, focusing on instances that fall outside traditional understandings of minority culture. Exploring expressions of Jewish identity and difference in biblical-themed musical dramas and their literary sources, Adi Nester argues that the issue of Jewish difference should be treated as an aesthetic question in the first half of the twentieth century, even amid the rise of pseudoscientific theories about race and blood.Drawing on the fraught, parallel histories of opera and the modern reception of the Hebrew Bible in Germany, both significant in debates at the time about the nature of Jewish separateness, Unsettling Difference shows how this discourse troubles concepts of Jewish marginality and (non-Jewish) German dominance. Through innovative readings of key works in this tradition—Rudolf Borchardt's poem, Das Buch Joram; Paul Ben-Haim's oratorio, Joram; Arnold Schoenberg's opera, Moses und Aron; Joseph Roth's novel, Hiob; and Eric Zeisl's opera, Hiob—Nester shows how these biblical adaptations foreground alternative notions of difference that rely on confusion, ambiguity, radical heterogeneity, excess, and repetition.

Homo Temporalis - German Jewish Thinkers On Time

de Nitzan Itzhak Lebovic

~~23,84€~~ 21,46€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Homo Temporalis focuses on the importance of temporal concepts for four German Jewish thinkers who profoundly shaped twentieth-century intellectual history: Martin Buber, Walter Benjamin, Hannah Arendt, and Paul Celan. By analyzing the concept of time, Nitzan Lebovic explores Buber's stress on the temporality of the dialogue between I and Thou; Benjamin's now-time and "dialectics in standstill"; Arendt's understanding of democracy as "natality" or a "permanent revolution"; and the "breathturn" that informs Celan's poetry. Framing the reception of German Jewish thinking in the second half of the twentieth century as a parallel story to the rise of the modern humanities, Homo Temporalis also highlights how these foundational temporal concepts illuminate the causes of the present crisis in the humanities and its disciplinary limitations in the age of biopolitics and the Anthropocene.

The Waiting Water - Order, Sacrifice, And Submergence In German Realism

de Alexander Sorenson

~~23,84€~~ 21,46€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The Waiting Water addresses one of the most recurrent and troubling motifs in German Realist literature—death by drowning. Characters find themselves before bodies of water, presented with the familiar realm above the surface and the unobservable, uncanny domain beneath it. With somber regularity, they then disappear into the depths. Alexander Sorenson explores the role that these hidden deaths in water play within a literary movement that set out precisely to reveal universal truths about human life. The poetics of submergence, he argues, revolve around two concepts fundamental to Poetic Realism—order and sacrifice.Focusing on texts by Adalbert Stifter, Gottfried Keller, Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach, and Theodor Storm, along with material from earlier and later epochs, The Waiting Water shows that the pervasive symbolism of drowning scenes in German Realism, which typically occur in zones of narrative invisibility on the social periphery, reveals the extent to which realist narrative uses the natural environment to work through deeply embedded and hidden tensions that troubled the social and moral life of the age.

Creatures Of Attention - Aesthetics And The Subject Before Kant

de Johannes Wankhammer

~~22,51€~~ 20,26€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Creatures of Attention excavates the early modern prehistory of our late modern crises of attention. At the threshold of modernity, philosophers, scientists, and poets across Europe began to see attention as the key to autonomous agency and knowledge. Recovering the philosophical and literary works from eighteenth-century Germany in which "attention," "subject," and "aesthetics" developed their modern meanings, Johannes Wankhammer examines control over attention as the cultural technique underpinning the ideal of individual autonomy. Aesthetics, founded by Alexander Baumgarten as a science of sense perception, challenged this ideal by reframing art as a catalyst for alternative modes of selfhood and attention. While previous scholarship on the history of attention emphasized the erosion of subjectivity by industrial or technological modernization, Wankhammer asks how attention came to define subjectivity in the first place. When periodically recurring crises of attention threaten the coherence of the subject, the subject comes undone at the very seams that first sutured it together. Creatures of Attention offers the first systematic study of a foundational discourse on attention from 1650 to 1780. Presenting pre-Kantian aesthetics as a critique of the Enlightenment paradigm of strained attention, the book offers a fresh perspective on poetics and aesthetics in eighteenth-century Germany.

Shapes Of Time - History And Eschatology In The Modernist Imagination

de Michael Mcgillen

~~23,84€~~ 21,46€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 McGillen locates efforts in German modernism to conceive of alternative shapes of time at the boundary between secular and theological discourses. He identifies the ways in which spatial imagery and metaphors were employed to both separate the end of history from a narrative framework and to map the liminal relation between history and eschatology.
