Fielding, Wieland, Goethe and the Rise of the Novel
Author: Guy Stern
Publisher: Peter Lang Publishing
ISBN:
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 154
Book Description
Among the notable contributions that writers from German speaking countries have rendered to world literature the concept and creation of the Bildungsroman, the Novel of Development, ranks high. The narrative of a young man's or woman's slow and often circuitous path to his or her personal destiny and societal role found numerous imitators. They obviously answered a need in modernity, when the unique individuality of all men and women were being recognized and respected. The English novel of the eighteenth century, and in particular Fielding with his Tom Jones, during a time of the rising bourgeoisie, provided Wieland, Goethe and other German writers with important building blocks which they, in turn, reshaped and varied, as the modern Bildungsroman was being born. Years later it would return to England, so that another scholar could coin the phrase of « Wilhelm Meister and his English kinsmen. In tracing one aspect of the inter-relatedness of world cultures and literature, the book which - in its original form - was presented as the author's Ph.D. thesis at Columbia University in 1953, makes its delayed but very timely contribution to the concept of cultural globalisation.

Welttheater und Geschichtsprozess
Author: Thomas Metscher
Publisher: Peter Lang Gmbh, Internationaler Verlag Der Wissenschaften
ISBN:
Category : Art
Languages : de
Pages : 400
Book Description
Im Mittelpunkt der in diesem Band gesammelten Arbeiten stehen zwei verbundene Fragen: die nach der Darstellung geschichtlicher Prozesse in Goethes Faust und die nach der besonderen Theaterform, in der diese Darstellung erfolgt. Faust wird verstanden als tragikomisches Welttheater, dessen zentraler Gegenstand die bürgerliche Gesellschaft in ihrer geschichtlichen Bildung ist, in einer zweiten Dimension der Prozeß der europäischen Zivilisation von seinen archaischen Ursprüngen bis in die historische Konstellation der Moderne. Die Hauptstudien werden von einer Reihe ergänzender Texte begleitet. Sie betreffen Goethes Weltanschauung, das Zeitalter Goethes als Epochenprofil, Tragödie, Komödie und Tragikomödie als Gattungsbegriffe, Positionen der Forschung, den Streit um Faust. Methodisch versuchen diese Arbeiten, das Instrumentarium philologischer Analyse mit dem geschichtlicher Deutung zu verbinden. Zugleich folgen sie einem theoretischen Interesse: der Frage nach der besonderen Erkenntnisart von Literatur.

Framing Faust
Author: Inez Hedges
Publisher: SIU Press
ISBN: 0809386534
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 262
Book Description
In this interdisciplinary cultural history that encompasses film, literature, music, and drama, Inez Hedges follows the thread of the Faustian rebel in the major intellectual currents of the last hundred years. She presents Faust and his counterpart Mephistopheles as antagonistic—yet complementary—figures whose productive conflict was integral to such phenomena as the birth of narrative cinema, the rise of modernist avant-gardes before World War II, and feminist critiques of Western cultural traditions. Framing Faust: Twentieth-Century Cultural Struggles pursues a dialectical approach to cultural history. Using the probing lens of cultural studies, Hedges shows how claims to the Faustian legacy permeated the struggle against Nazism in the 1930s while infusing not only the search for socialist utopias in Russia, France, and Germany, but also the quest for legitimacy on both sides of the Cold War divide after 1945. Hedges balances new perspectives on such well-known works as Thomas Mann’s Dr. Faustus and Jack Kerouac’s Dr. Sax with discussions of previously overlooked twentieth-century expressions of the Faust myth, including American film noir and the Faust films of Stan Brakhage. She evaluates musical compositions—Hanns Eisler’s Faust libretto, the opera Votre Faust by Henri Pousseur and Michel Butor, and Alfred Schnittke’s Faust Cantata—as well as works of fiction and drama in French and German, many of which have heretofore never been discussed outside narrow disciplinary confines. Enhanced by twenty-four illustrations, Framing Faust provides a fascinating and focused narrative of some of the major cultural struggles of the past century as seen through the Faustian prism, and establishes Faust as an important present-day frame of reference.

Feminist Geopolitics
Author: Deborah P. Dixon
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134916531
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
Building on a trans-disciplinary, feminist project that foregrounds the bodies of those at the ‘sharp end’ of various forms of international activity, such as immigration, development and warfare, the chapters included in this book cover a variety of sites, concerns, and hopes. These range from the fraught geopolitics of marriage and birth in Ladakh, India, to the fate of detained migrant children in the U.S., and from the human rights abuses of women and children in Uzbekistan to the body politics of aid workers in Afghanistan. The collective aim is to expose the force relations that operate through and upon those bodies, such that particular subjectivities are enhanced, constrained, and put to work, and particular corporealities are violated, exploited, and often abandoned. Oriented around issues of security, population, territory, and nationalism, these chapters expose the proliferating bodies of geopolitics, not simply as the bearers of socially demarcated borders and boundaries, but as vulnerable corporealities, seeking to negotiate and transform the geopolitics they both animate and inhabit. This book was originally published as a special issue of Gender, Place and Culture: A Journal of Feminist Geography.
