Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the past and present of concrete poetry with the purpose of finding out whether concrete poetry is still being produced in its original form, or whether it has changed.
Concrete poets were not the first ones to create picture poems and similar texts. In chapter I an overview of earlier picture poetry is given. It and other precursors of concrete poetry are discussed and their possible contributions evaluated.
Chapters II and III deal with the definition of concrete poetry of the mid-fifties and sixties ( pure, classic c.p.). They focus primarily on German, Austrian and Swiss poets. Manifestos are examined and individual poems are discussed in detail. The many different kinds of concrete poetry that developed after 1970 are mentioned without any further discussion.

Full textAbstract:
Erich Fried, ultimately a prominent German poet, had been forced to flee from his native country after the annexation of Austria in 1938, and remained in London throughout his life. In wartime London he published in German exile journals. By 1945 two volumes of his poetry had appeared. This success augured well for the future. Yet the post-war period did not bring the publications he had hoped for. Fried remained in London. He nevertheless attempted to secure publications in Germany, but his endeavours were made more difficult by his prolonged exile. In London Fried maintained contact with other German exile writers and made no attempt at assimilation. He remained orientated towards German-speaking Europe. His work of this period was out of step with developments in Germany and this explains the poor response to his first publications there. Employment with the BBC led to his very successful translation of Dylan Thomas' Under Milk Wood. This earned him a reputation as a translator and led to two poetry volumes and a novel. Fried was subsequently invited to join the influential Gruppe 47. The publication in 1966 of und Vietnam und secured Fried's reputation as a political poet and marked the return in his work to political themes which he had abandoned in 1945. Subsequently Fried was extremely productive and published may volumes of poetry and prose and a variety of translations from English, including his much admired Shakespeare translations. Fried overcame the disadvantageous situation of his prolonged exile. In the later period he spent much time in German-speaking Europe, returning to Britain to recuperate and write. Fried had been made homeless in 1938 and never regained his Heimat, although it would appear that he welcomed the absence of the confines of a narrowly defined nationality and home.

Ashraf, Ammara. "Romantic poetologies : collaboration and interdisciplinarity in early Anglo-German Romanticism." Thesis, Queen Mary, University of London, 2013. http://qmro.qmul.ac.uk/xmlui/handle/123456789/8366.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis reads seminal texts such as Wordsworth’s prose, Lyrical Ballads, The Prelude, and The Excursion alongside Coleridge’s poetic theory and practice and Novalis, Tieck and Friedrich Schlegel’s philosophical novels and fragments, as ‘poetologies’. My initial research aim is to test how successfully Wordsworth can be read as part of this Anglo-German comparative framework, from which criticism has tended to exclude him. This is done through demonstrating the centrality of irony and drama to the philosophical character of Wordsworth’s poetry. Drawing on the theory of the Frühromantiker, I demonstrate that Wordsworth’s revisionary habit and his use of ballads and epitaphs shape a poetics constantly ‘in the process of becoming’ (F. Schlegel), the vehicle of the poet’s aspirations to dramatize a potentially infinite self-consciousness. Secondly, my thesis investigates the ways of reading these seminal texts which give us a clearer idea of how Romantic writers internally situate their own work through their use of contrasting genres. This investigation expands to examine how the collaborative, interdisciplinary ventures proposed by Romantic writers elaborate the concept of ‘poetology’ as a practicable theory. This leads to my final research aim: to make apparent that these methodologies result in the Mischgedicht, the ‘mixed poem’ which Schlegel theorizes as the ultimate incarnation of modern, ‘Romantic’ literature. The thesis concludes by drawing theories, methodologies and texts together and making sense of that ultimate continuity sought by the Romantic project. I do this by turning to the poetologizing of immortality (which supersedes death as a Romantic preoccupation) and arguing that to poetologize immortality – to poeticize and philosophize it simultaneously – is the test-case for producing the infinite from the finite. I suggest the necessity felt by Romantic writers to achieve this transformation in order to legitimate the permeable philosophical poetry and poetic philosophy – ‘poetologies’ – which made it possible.

Yuille, Nicolas John Cameron. "Visionary poetry in the German dictatorships : Peter Huchel and Johannes Bobrowski." Thesis, University of Manchester, 2001. https://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.488173.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis contains a comparative analysis of the poetry of Peter Huchel and Johannes Bobrowski. Following Hans Dieter Schafer's reassessment of writing in National Socialist Germany, Das gespaltene Bewusstsein: Uber deutsche Kultur und Lebenswirklichkeit 1933-45 (1984), Huchel and Bobrowski are considered here with minimal reference to cultural politics in the two dictatorships in which they wrote. Axel Goodbody's survey of nature symbolism, Natursprache: Ein dichtungstheoretisches Konzept der Romantik und seine Wiederaufnahme in der modernen Naturlyrik (1984), provides both a theoretical basis for considering Huchel and Bobrowski's nature poetry, and also sets their writing in a lyrical tradition. Goodbody's work is considered in particular in chapter one. The tradition of German lyric poetry, particularly that of the eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth centuries, is central to the analysis of Huchel and Bobrowski's poetry throughout this thesis. Chapter two investigates the place of religion in their poetry and its broader appeal to the poets considered here. The mood of the poetry is the subject of chapter three, linking the scepticism in much of Huchel and Bobrowski's writing with that of twentieth-century writers and thinkers, and with poets from the lyric tradition who share a post-revolutionary situation. Poetic mythology is considered in chapter four, with examples being taken from Huchel, Bobrowski, and Eduard Morike, and these are discussed alongside the theoretical ideas of Schiller and Holderlin. The final chapter takes issues of subjectivity and communication as the basis for an examination of Huchel and Bobrowski's place in Modernism and for a comparison of their Personengedichte. Much of the analysis in this thesis depends on a reading of a variety of poetic texts by Huchel and Bobrowski, early Modernist German poets, Biedermeier writers, and eighteenth-century poets, while drawing on the substantial body of scholarship on Huchel and Bobrowski already available. The Peter Huchel Collection at the John Rylands University Library of Manchester and the Huchel and Bobrowski archives at the Deutsches Literaturarchiv, Marbach am Neckar, were also consulted. The thesis concludes by proposing a 'visionary' construction of Huchel and Bobrowski's writing, focusing on the non-rationalist levels at which the two poets attempt to communicate, through their concepts of language, through mythologies, through the religious and the mystical, and through the moods invoked in their writing. Their poetic vision tries to provide a holistic view of the individual and of human society, but this view is fundamentally undermined by the reality with which the poets are faced. The visionary construction offers a complementary approach to Huchel and Bobrowski's poetry alongside the political and biographical approaches presented elsewhere. It also indicates specific points of similarity and divergence between two oeuvres which have often been the subject of critical comparison, setting them in the context of a lyric tradition of great importance to each.

Thomas, Nicola. "Landscape, space and place in English- and German-language poetry, 1960-1975." Thesis, University of Nottingham, 2017. http://eprints.nottingham.ac.uk/41884/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines representations of space, place and landscape in English and German-language poetry of the period 1960-1975, a key transitional phase between modernity and postmodernity. It proposes that the impact certain transnational spatial revolutions had on contemporary poetry can only be fully grasped with recourse to comparative methodologies which look across national borders. This is demonstrated by a series of paired case studies which examine the work of J. H. Prynne and Paul Celan, Sarah Kirsch and Derek Mahon, and Ernst Jandl and Edwin Morgan. Prynne and Celan’s 'Sprachskepsis' is the starting point for a post-structuralist analysis of meta-textual space in their work, including how poetry’s complex tectonics addresses multifaceted crises of representation. Mahon and Kirsch’s work is read in the context of spatial division, and it is argued that both use representations of landscape, space and place to express political engagement, and to negotiate fraught ideas of home, community and world. Jandl and Morgan’s representations of space and place, which often depend on experimental lyric subjectivity, are examined: it is argued that poetic subject(s) which speak from multiple perspectives (or none) serve as a means of reconfiguring poetry’s relationship to space at a time when social, literary and political boundaries were being redefined. The thesis thus highlights hitherto underexplored connections between a range of poets working across the two language areas, making clear that space and place is a vital critical category for understanding poetry of this period, including both experimental and non-experimental work. It reveals weaknesses in existing critical taxonomies, arguing for the use of ‘late modernist’ as category with cross-cultural relevance, and promotes methodological exchange between the Anglophone and German traditions of landscape, space and place-oriented poetry scholarship, to the benefit of both.

Full textAbstract:
The introduction contains separate studies of the manuscripts, their orthographies, the rhymes, metre and treatment of source material. Both the orthographic studies and the rhyme—grammar reveal Athis to be a CG poem with no real evidence of Rhenish provenance. The metrical studies, dealing with vowel collision and units of one and three syllables, show how the Athis poet pursued various legitimate rhythmic options in his attempt to introduce variation to the tedium of regular alternation. The most positive results emerge from the comparison of Athis with its OF source, the Roman d'Athis. The dependence of the German text on the OF poem can be proved through misunderstandings of lines and part—lines of the Rd'A enshrined in proper names in the German text. By far the most important aspect of the German poet's adaptation is his sense of history. Ancient Rome and Athens are presented in an entirely different way in the German text. In particular, the large scale descriptions of ceremonies and major events are scenically developed under the influence of medieval historiographic ideas. Further supplementary source material is provided by a Pseudo—Ovidian treatment of Pyramus and Thisbe and a number of medieval military and judicial customs associated with Roman models. In general Athis is shown to be indebted to a medieval German self—awareness of Romanitas.

Mastag, Horst Dieter. "The transformations of Job in modern German literature." Thesis, University of British Columbia, 1990. http://hdl.handle.net/2429/30647.
Full textAbstract:
In modern times German authors have made ample use of the Job-theme. The study examines the transformations that the story of Job has undergone in German narrative and dramatic works from Leopold von Sacher-Masoch's Der neue Hiob (1878) to Fritz Zorn's Mars (1977).
The most striking feature of these works lies in their diverse characterization of the Job-figure. As a mythical figure he remains synonymous with the sufferer, but he may be characterized as patient or impatient, humble or arrogant, innocent or guilty, rich or poor, courageous or cowardly; he may be a Jew or a Christian, a Nazi or an anti-Nazi, a believer or an agnostic.
The authors have retained most of the characters included in the Old Testament story. The Job-figure usually has a wife (who doubts and despises God), a number of children (who die in an impending disaster), and several friends (who accuse him of wrong-doing). Concerning the plot, most writers have excluded any prologue in heaven. The suffering of the Job-figure (usually brought on by the loss of loved ones, by physical pain and by mental agony) is always central to the story. More often than not, however, the modern Job-figure exhibits a form of impatience and impiety once misfortune has struck. A theophany (literal confrontation with God) does not occur, but a divine agent may be provided in the form of a dream or a vision, or indirectly by nature. An epilogue (the restoration of Job's health, possessions and children) is usually omitted, but some authors imply a renewal of Job, so as to suggest a purpose for and a hope after his arduous trials.Arts, Faculty of

Cernahoschi-Condurateanu, Raluca. "The political, the urban, and the cosmopolitan : the 1970s generation in Romanian-German poetry." Thesis, University of British Columbia, 2010. http://hdl.handle.net/2429/28009.
Full textAbstract:
This study is an introduction to the body of work produced by the German poets who were born during or after World War II in Romania and whose almost simultaneous debut lies in the relatively liberal period 1965 – 1971. Helped onto the Romanian-German literary scene by a propitious environment and informed by the socialist ideology they were born “into,” the poets born between 1942 and 1955 formed a remarkable generation unit which sought to significantly renew German-language literature in Romania. Rejecting identification with the insulary Romanian-German communities, the young poets strove to create a socially and politically relevant verse expressing an urban and cosmopolitan attitude. The growing nationalist rhetoric and isolationist stance of Romania's regime and the material and psychological hardships endured by its population through the 1970s and 80s forced the generation to revise its incipient enthusiasm for Romanian socialism. Increasingly, the poets' work came to depict the threatened existence of the German minority and the harsh general living conditions in Romania and to provide an alternative to the absurd official proclamations of a “golden age” under Ceauşescu, despite the poetry's growing reliance on obscuring literary techniques. The emigration of most of the generation members in the mid to late 1980s brought about the eventual unravelling of the generation unit and marks the end of my study.
By following the evolution of three themes – social and political engagement, the German minority, and the urban environment – which define the poets as a generation throughout their literary careers in Romania, the analysis illuminates not only the generation's development from identification with Romanian socialism and rejection of the German minority to criticism of the country's policies and a renewed interest in the fate of the German community but also the changing possibilities and limits of literary expression under communism. In addition to providing an introduction to the body of work created by the 1970s generation in Romania, the study also expands the understanding of German literature in the 20th century by providing new material on literature written under totalitarianism and of intercultural German literature.

Waller, C. D. "The poetry of Anton Schnack." Thesis, University of Oxford, 2014. http://ora.ox.ac.uk/objects/uuid:354fe0a5-68d5-4a9e-b051-b5f77ab74acc.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis is the first academic treatment of the poetry of Anton Schnack (1892-1973): his work is not well known, even in Germany. Methodologically the thesis takes a combined literary, historical and biographical approach, exploring the complex and sometimes deceptive relations between his poetry and the turbulence of his time. The primary aim of the thesis is to show that Tier rang gewaltig mit Tier (1920) is a uniquely innovative volume of war poetry which, to be fully appreciated, needs to be assessed against the background of previous German war poetry and the development of the sonnet cycle. It is placed in the context of Schnack’s other lyrical work, particularly of the three volumes of Expressionist poetry which immediately preceded it and which themselves are analysed as examples of a very powerful kind of Expressionism. Schnack did not publish his next volume of verse until 1936, and three further collections emerged in quick succession between 1947 and 1953. These four collections are examined in detail in the context of Schnack’s decision to stay in southern Germany and to maintain a consistently low profile. The thesis begins with a general introduction to Schnack’s life and work and makes specific reference to his contemporary and current standing among literary historians and critics. Chapter Two focuses on the three volumes of Expressionist verse and documents the cultural circles which he frequented in Munich and the numerous Expressionist magazines and periodicals to which he contributed. The next three chapters are dedicated to Tier rang gewaltig mit Tier and examine it with reference to its poetic form as a cycle of sonnets and of its merits and status as war poetry. The final chapter pays particular attention to Schnack’s life in the Third Reich, situating the single collection he published during that era among the literary works of Inner Emigration, before analysing his three post-war collections.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse porte sur l’analyse des relations intertextuelles entre des œuvres littéraires et philosophiques allemandes, notamment les textes de Novalis et de Rilke, et le recueil de sonnets de l’écrivain et traducteur chinois moderne Feng Zhi. Le but de cette étude est d’analyser et de discerner dans quelle mesure il est possible d’établir des relations « transtextuelles » entre la littérature primaire, la thèse de doctorat de Feng Zhi, qui a joué un rôle vital dans le développement de sa voix poétique, et son recueil de sonnets. Les textes analysés dans le cadre de cette étude visent à montrer comment certains indices transculturels de la poésie de Feng Zhi définissent la tendance poétique de l’écrivain en tant que postromantique et métaphysique, alors qu’une recherche plus approfondie et d’autres évidences transtextuelles encadrent sa production lyrique parmi les premiers exemples de littérature moderniste chinoise. Les profondes et énigmatiques réflexions contemplatives des sonnets font de Feng Zhi un poète métaphysique. La voix lyrique s'engage avec le monde extérieur et gagne de nouvelles expériences esthétiques à travers l'imagination, la méditation sur l'infini spatial et temporel, la reconnaissance de l'état mutable et permanent de la matière, et une finale réalisation existentielle de l'auto-accomplissement de l'homme à travers son état d'isolement. Cette étude analyse enfin l'idée conceptualisée de l'infini et de la transcendance poétique évoquée par le mysticisme orphique. Cette approche redéfinit la relation du sujet poétique avec le monde extérieur et sa perception constructive finale de sa position au sein de la communauté, de la nature et du cosmos dans son ensembleThe research conducted in this work focuses on the intertextuality between German literary and philosophical works, notably those of Novalis and Rilke, and the sonnet collection of the modern Chinese scholar and writer Feng Zhi. This study analyses the extent to which transtextual elements travel between the primary literature, the author’s own German doctoral dissertation, which ultimately played a vital role in the development of his lyrical voice, and his sonnets. Moreover, the texts analysed in this study attempt to demonstrate how given transcultural elements in Feng Zhi’s poetry define the writer’s apparent poetic tendency as a post-Romantic and metaphysical lyricist, whereas other closer transtextual investigations place his work among the first examples of Chinese modernist writings. The profound and enigmatic contemplative reflections of the sonnets make Feng Zhi a metaphysical poet. The lyrical self engages with the surrounding world and gains new aesthetic experiences through the power of imagination, the meditation on spatial and temporal infinity, the recognition of the changeable and permanent state of matter, and a final existential realisation of man’s self-completion through his state of isolation. This study finally also analyses the conceptualised idea of infinity and transcendence evoked by Orphic mysticism. This approach redefines the poetic subject’s relationship with the outer world, and the subject’s final perception of his position within the community, nature and the cosmos as a whole

Full textAbstract:
In this thesis, a literary historic path on the development of the lyric expression of courtly love will be created. The path will take us from the Provence through Germany and Sicily, and up to the Tuscany of the thirteen's century. The poetic characteristics of the hohe Minne and dolce stil novo will be particularly highlighted in order to facilitate the comprehension of their similarities and differences. It is understood that it will not be possible to offer a complete interpretation of the two lyric expressions. Rather, this thesis wishes to offer a basis for the development of further comparative studies between the German and Italian lyric expressions that were inspired by the Provencal courtly love. As representatives of the evolution of the poetry of love in Germany and Italy, Walther von der Vogelweide and Guido Cavalcanti were chosen for the innovative character of their poetry and the artistic quality of the results they achieved.

Griffin, Daniel. "The Role of Poetry and Language in Hegel's Philosophy of Art." Digital Archive @ GSU, 2011. http://digitalarchive.gsu.edu/philosophy_theses/90.
Full textAbstract:
Hegel's view of poetry clarifies the overall role of language in his system and allows him to makes sense of a difficult linguistic issue: how to distinguish between poetry and prose. For Hegel, this distinction is crucial because it illuminates the different ways poetry and prose allow us to understand ourselves as members of an ethical community. In this paper, I argue, using Hegel, that the distinction between poetry and prose can only properly be understood in terms of their fundamentally different kinds of content instead of in terms of any formal differences between the two. Then, I address an objection to Hegel by Paul de Man which uses Hegel's concept of memory to collapse the distinction between poetry and philosophical prose. Finally, I argue that Hegel can respond to this objection by showing how de Man misunderstands how philosophical thought conceptually develops from memory.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis looks at the poetics of colour in Stefan George, Rainer Maria Rilke, Wassily Kandinsky and Else Lasker-Schüler. It argues that focusing on colour words allows us to think more carefully about the sort of making that poetry, around the turn of the twentieth century, was seen to be, its purpose and effects. In doing so it thinks also about this making-about the ways that words can be seen as the material of poetry, the ways poems relate to objects, and are objects, the ways poets negotiate semantic space and communicability. While other accounts argue for the specificity of a particular period, author, or hue, I argue for the specificity of the medium, a conclusion which seems necessary when considering how these particular poets thought about and through colour. While the poets' projects differ, colour can be used in each case like a prism, to separate out their attitudes and commitments towards their medium and its place in the world. The combination of these four poets, which is, to the best of my knowledge, unique, also allows new connections to be seen, whether, facing inward, in terms of colour itself, or outward towards the commitments regarding the poem that an approach via colour exposes. The four poets share an interest in the involvement, and in some cases, aesthetic education, of readers, and in how and what we can learn through reading, and particularly reading colour. What we learn has less to do with colours and how they are experienced than to do with the constructed world of the poem and its mechanisms, and of the role we have to play in animating this world.

Full textAbstract:
This creative thesis comprises a book length collection of poems entitled Box Of Chalks, and an accompanying prose commentary exploring issues of research, drafting and the forming of a narrative sequence of poetry. The book of poems is based on the experience of Polish boys and men forcibly conscripted into the German Army by National Decree, 4th March 1941. This enforced conscription remains a little acknowledged fact which I discovered is still refuted in some Polish communities. The poems are written from the viewpoint of one conscript. They consist of dramatic monologues, a duologue and a voice of the Valksliste. The poems cover a period from boyhood to old age. The accompanying prose commentary on the process of researching the historical material and the artistic drafting of the poems is formed of six chapters. Chapter One explores the genesis of the poems in the historical events of German conscription in Silesian Poland. Chapter Two discusses the ethics of using another's voice and the painful experiences. In this chapter, I trace the creative choices made from composite experiences as the voice of the sequence gradually developed. In Chapter Three, I show how facts, memories and experiences were gleaned through interviewing survivors and one survivor in particular. This chapter further examines the history of the Polish war experience and shows how oral reminiscence is linked to historically recorded events. The chapter shows how gleanings from these 'rememberings' formed the basis of individual poems and discusses the difficulties of opening up delicate matters linked to emotions of shame and guilt in the surviving community. Chapter Four examines the difficulties and rewards in finding the most appropriate opening for the narrative. I aim to demonstrate how the sequence of poems benefited from structuring techniques and a 'layering of imagery and sound', which, although discovered late in the process, helped to form a cohesive narrative. Chapter Five discusses the drafting of key poems and the challenge of unexpected inconsistencies encountered when designing the poetic sequence. Here, I explore the demands of forming a longer narrative out of individual poems, for example the need for bridging poems, continuity and telling the larger story mainly through one voice. Chapter Six demonstrates how a large part of the sequence was written transposing some of my own historical and cultural experiences through corresponding physical detail. Here, I explore experiments in creating characters and physical details to develop the world of the narrative and its accumulative progression. I conclude this thesis by acknowledging that the consequences of conscription continued long after the war had ended and has had an effect on later generations.

Full textAbstract:
In this thesis, I explore how, although Edith Södergran’s Vaxdukshäf poems seem to support new female roles in early 20th century European society, they also reflect on the danger in changing from traditional to modern roles. As the poems illustrate, this change can create an isolated woman, who becomes trapped in her new independence and is unable to alter herself to connect with others. In order to understand what is meant by traditional and modern female roles, I present a historical background that contrasts the woman of pre-20th-Century Europe with the new woman that emerged around the Turn of the Century. I do this by focusing on marriage, motherhood, the woman's role inside and outside of the home, valued feminine characteristics, and women's clothing.

Full textAbstract:
Este trabalho tem como objetivo trazer uma visão geral da poética de Rose Ausländer ao mesmo tempo em que apresenta importantes aspectos de sua biografia, como sua formação, as influências sofridas e exercidas, o contexto histórico e geográfico em que viveu, os anos de confinamento no gueto em Czernowitz, o exílio, a vida no pós-guerra e o reflexo de sua experiência de vida em sua obra. Também propõe uma reflexão sobre o pensamento de Theodor Adorno, cujas ponderações sobre Auschwitz estão entre as mais preciosas que a filosofia já propôs sobre o assunto. Assim, após uma apresentação sucinta do conceito de arte adorniano, o trabalho irá refletir a cerca da polêmica da lírica após Auschwitz, da oscilação entre possibilidade e impossibilidade de arte e do risco de banalização da catástrofe em sua representação estética. Estas questões serão esmiuçadas, dialogando com poemas de Rose Ausländer. Em seguida, será feito um esboço do desenvolvimento da forma e estilo na poesia de Rose Ausländer ao longo das três fases de seu processo de criação. Neste momento do trabalho será observado como se dá a variação dos temas no desenvolvimento de sua obra poética e mais especificamente, como a experiência do holocausto é recriada em sua poesia. Por fim será feita uma reflexão sobre em que medida é possível se afirmar que a poética de Rose Ausländer cumpre a função adorniana da obra de arte constituindo-se deste modo, numa representação sociológica autêntica e de crítica à violência.The paper provides an insight into the poetics of Rose Ausländer. Her work is being placed within the historical context of the time and within the biographical context of the poetess - e.g. her detention in the Ghetto of Czernowitz, her exile and her life after the war. Thus, the consequences of her life experience for her work are being revealed. Subsequently, her work is being discussed on the basis of Theodor Adorno\'s thoughts on Auschwitz. After a short introduction to Adorno\'s concept of art, the paper adresses the controversy about possibility or impossibility of art after Auschwitz and the risk of trivialisation of Auschwitz through esthetical presentation. Finally, the paper traces the development of form and style within Rose Ausländer\'s lyrics through her phases of creative process and shows the variation of subjects. Here, the paper elaborates especially how the experience of the Holocaust is being reflected in her work. The paper ends with a discussion of the question whether the poetics of Rose Ausländer meets Adornos\' criterias of artwork, thus, whether it is an authentic and sociological portrayal which realizes a critique of violence.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis demonstrates the aesthetic impact of crisis on Ingeborg Bachmann's late verse and prose. It examines poetic drafts written during a period of personal breakdown in the 1960s, which have largely been received as documents of personal suffering, and identifies these texts as a radical stage of writing that was to prove formally significant for Bachmann's development of the prose "Todesarten"-Projekt. This thesis draws on the new material made available with the publication of these poetic drafts to chart the genesis of Bachmann's acclaimed late oeuvre. By selecting and grouping lyric fragments, the thesis defines recurrent features in this verse and accounts for the texts as a body of writing that forms a radical, yet undocumented, part of this oeuvre. In terms of both their form and of their content, the fragmentary drafts are shown to reflect new engagement with aspects of experience conventionally excluded from High Art. In light of Bachmann's growing preoccupation with the need for aesthetic engagement in the post-war era, close readings reveal how she set about taking her subjective suffering as a basis for a critique of the social order. The thesis outlines how, during the 1960s, Bachmann pioneered a symptomatic expressive mode that - in the disrupted form of the writing - found an indirect means of manifesting the wider origins of subjective disturbance. The ambiguous aesthetic status of these poetic drafts, which were never finished by Bachmann, is related to an inability to establish structural distance from crisis in lyric form. Building on its readings of the poetic drafts, the thesis traces Bachmann's prose experimentation with the same motifs. It identifies how, ultimately, the prose medium enabled the author to resolve problems of aesthetic form raised in the verse. Parallels with the work of other writers and thinkers illuminate the development of a reflexive mode where sophisticated aesthetic strategies enable the oblique expression of cultural critique.

Full textAbstract:
A presente dissertação busca situar o pensamento de Hölderlin em relação à filosofia do idealismo alemão, na maneira pela qual propõe uma solução poética para algumas questões levantadas pela filosofia de seu tempo. Partindo da mesma exigência de reunir sujeito e objeto em um fundamento absoluto, o poeta procura um princípio unificador que supere as cisões deixadas pela filosofia crítica em uma reflexão que desloca de maneira original as noções e conceitos de Kant e Fichte. Ao apontar, em seu fragmento Juízo e Ser, o caráter cindido da operação do juízo e os pressupostos da consciência e da identidade, Hölderlin se move da noção de eu absoluto fichteana para um fundamento concebido enquanto ser, anterior a toda divisão entre sujeito e objeto; as consequências desse deslocamento sinalizam os limites da filosofia em suas posturas teórica e prática. Essa reflexão filosófica tem um exemplar desenvolvimento em seu romance Hipérion ou o Eremita na Grécia, o qual mobiliza todas essas questões em uma expressão estética. Acompanhando o percurso do protagonista em suas tentativas de recuperar uma Grécia harmoniosa, revelam-se as consequências e limites desse projeto de pensamento. Se o saldo do romance parece negativo, ele chama a atenção, no entanto, para uma reconsideração daquela intuição original do fragmento e para a compreensão da operação formal e poética da obra enquanto verdadeiro espaço de efetivação do projeto hölderliniano. Em um complexo processo de estratificação temporal que relaciona o tempo vivido com o tempo narrado, é a recordação que se revela cerne da atividade poética de Hölderlin, por sua capacidade de mobilizar aqueles conteúdos negativos em uma perspectiva positiva, reunindo os momentos particulares do passado em um todo infinito. Realçada na escolha do autor pela forma romanesca, tangenciando a vivacidade do romance epistolar com a distância narrativa do Bildungsroman, essa significação infinita do finito oferece uma original compreensão para os problemas da filosofia do idealismo alemão através da via estética. Desse modo, o romance Hipérion acompanha a realização poética de um projeto filosófico junto à fundamentação filosófica da poesia de Hölderlin, encontrando um vislumbre da totalidade a partir da finitude e da condição cindida da modernidade.This thesis intends to situate Hölderlins thinking in relation to the philosophy of German Idealism, in the way which it proposes a poetic solution to some questions raised by the philosophy of his time. Starting from the same demand of reuniting subject and object in an absolute ground, the poet searches for a unifying principle capable of overcoming the divisions left by critical philosophy, in a meditation that dislocates notions and concepts from Kant and Fichte in an original way. Pointing in his fragment Judgment and Being to the divided character of judgment and the presuppositions of conscience and identity, Hölderlin moves from the Fichtean notion of an absolute I to a ground conceived as being, prior to any division between subject and object; the consequences of this dislocation indicate the boundaries of philosophy in its theoretical and practical dispositions. This philosophical meditation has an exemplary development in his novel Hyperion or The Hermit in Greece, which mobilizes all these questions in an aesthetic expression. By following the leading character in his tries to recover a harmonious Greece, he recognizes the consequences and limits of this project of thought. If the outcome of the novel seems negative, it however calls for a reconsideration of that original intuition in the fragment and of a comprehension of the formal and poetic operation of the work as the real place where Hölderlins project is put into action. In a complex process of temporal stratification that relates lived time with narrated time, it is recollection that reveals the core of Hölderlins poetic activity, in its capacity to mobilize those negative contents in a positive perspective, assembling the particular past moments in an infinite whole. Accentuated by the authors choice of the novel, tangent to the vivacity of the epistolary novel and to the narrative distance of Bildungsroman, this infinite meaning of the finite offers an original comprehension to the problems of German Idealism by means of an aesthetic path. Therefore, Hyperion follows the poetic accomplishment of a philosophical project together with the philosophical grounding of Hölderlins poetry, finding a glimpse of totality that arises from finitude and from the divided condition of modern age.

Full textAbstract:
Trümmerliteratur - literally “rubble-literature" - is a brand of literature that became important after the Second World War, led by Heinrich Böll, whom I term the apologist of German Trümmerliteratur. Typically included under this classification are the writers who began to produce in the years immediately following the war, and in whose work the rubble and ruins of the landscape figure prominently. Böll provided the programmatic framework for the movement in his “Bekenntnis zur Trümmerliteratur" but his relationship to another type of ruin writing presents a point of friction when he appears to be working in a romantic mode to describe his experience of Irish ruins. This problem was the point of departure for a new thinking of ruins. Discovering the strains of rubble literature in Grass and Celan presents the second part of this study, which dramatically recasts these writers, demanding that the presence and prevalence of ruin images and themes receive consideration. Grass's hermeneutical ruins, a reading of narrative gaps, presents the first level of ruin, separating the reader from the text's reliability and authorial immediacy. The next type of ruins that Grass presents is the violent ruinating involved in the the act of writing itself, whether chiseled into gravestones or flecking virginal paper. Similarly, Celan's images of ruins are produced in a form consciously resembling berubbled structures, with dashes and slashes often left jutting dangerously into the space of a wide margin, like the rusty reinforcing steel bars of modern construction. Considering these writers in these terms leads to the question of language and how they attempt to overcome the problem of a language manipulated into complicity in the crimes of totalitarianism. Finally, there is the transparency offered in the porous structure of the ruin. These houses prove incapable of providing the shelter or protection. The inhabitants are exposed, exhibited to the observer with all of the intimate contents of quotidian existence, the low objects of the everyday. Entrance into this interiority is a powerful part of what makes the ruins an interesting object for observation. In this literature of ruins and rubble the reader is offered this transparency, an offer of entrance into society's interiority.

Iba Ndiaye Diadji, a Senegalese professor of aesthetics, sees water as intrinsic to African ontology. He also argues that water is the most important substance to inspire African artists. (Diadji 2003: 273–275.) Water certainly has a significant role in Swahili poetry, written traditionally by people living on the coast of the Indian Ocean. Swahili poems have used aquatic imagery in expressing different ideas and sensations, in different contexts and times. Water imagery can be found in hundreds of years old Islamic hymns as well as in political poetry written during the colonial German East Africa. This article discusses water imagery in traditional Islamic Swahili poetry.

Abstract In view of numerous texts from completely different genres the study shows to what extent and degree of differentiation the topic soccer is covered in German-language literature and allows general conclusions on a poetics of sport. Here solely German-language literary sources are considered. The work is divided into a theoretical and a text-related part. In the former section the approaches to the topic – on one hand via German studies and on the other hand via interdisciplinary sport science – is made clear by means of basic considerations on the questions “what is literature?” and “what is sport”. In addition, a revisable basis for the subsequent studies is provided. The text-related part – in turn subdivided according to the three main genres lyric poetry, epic poetry and drama – shows how exactly soccer appears as literary subject. Formal differences induced by the form of presentation within a genre (sonnet vs. visual poetry) or across genres (detective story vs. modern drama) take effect as well as context-related variations of the subject (soccer as symbolic carrier of meaning vs. soccer as vehicle for transporting ethical values). A concluding chapter each on the realization of the sport models introduced in the theoretical part in literary practice follow the individual genre areas. The various aspects that can be attributed to a poetics of sport conclude the study in a summarizing part. Not least here the comprehensiveness of the findings can be seenAbstract Die Untersuchung zeigt mit Blick auf zahlreiche Texte ganz unterschiedlicher Gattungen, in welchem Umfang und wie differenziert das Thema Fußball in der deutschen Literatur behandelt wird und lässt damit allgemeine Rückschlüsse auf eine Poetik des Sports zu. Betrachtet werden hier ausschließlich deutschsprachige, literarische Quellen. Die Arbeit gliedert sich in einen theoretischen und einen textbezogenen Teil. Im erstgenannten Abschnitt wird durch grundsätzliche Überlegungen zu den Fragen „Was ist Literatur? ” und „Was ist Sport? ” der einerseits germanistische, andererseits interdisziplinäre sportwissenschaftliche Zugang zum Thema verdeutlicht. Zudem ist hier eine überprüfbare Basis für die anschließenden Untersuchungen geschaffen. Der textbezogene Teil – wiederum untergliedert nach den drei Hauptgattungen Lyrik, Epik und Drama – zeigt, wie Fußball genau als literarisches Motiv erscheint. Formale Unterschiede bedingt durch die Darstellungsform innerhalb einer Gattung (Sonett vs. Visuelle Poesie) oder grenzüberschreitend (Kriminalroman vs. Modernes Drama) kommenden dabei ebenso zum Tragen wie inhaltliche Variationen des Motivs (Fußball als symbolischer Bedeutungsträger vs. Fußball als Vehikel zur Vermittlung ethischer Werte). Je ein resümierendes Kapitel über die Umsetzung der im theoretischen Teil eingeführten Sportmodelle in der literarischen Praxis schließt sich an die einzelnen Gattungsbereiche an. Die verschiedenen Aspekte, die sich einer Poetik des Sports zuschreiben lassen, schließen die Studie in einem zusammenfassenden Teil ab. Nicht zuletzt hier zeigt sich die Reichhaltigkeit der Untersuchungsergebnisse
