The Making of Copernicus
The contributions to Making of Copernicus examine exemplarily how some of the Copernicus myths came about and if they could hold their ground or have vanished again. Are there links between a factual or postulated transformation of world images and the application of certain scientific metaphors, especially the metaphor of a revolution? Were there interactions and amalgamations of the literary and scientific enthronement, or outlawry of Copernicus and if so, how did they take place? On the other hand, are there repercussions of the scientific-historical reconstructions and hagiographies on the literary image of Copernicus as sketched by novelists even in the 20th century? The history of the reception of Copernicus shall not be dominantly dealt with from the point of view of a factual affirmation and rejection of the astronomer and his doctrine but rather as accomplishments of transformation respectively. Thus, the essays in this volume investigate transformations: methodological, institutional, textual, and visual transformations of the Copernican doctrine and the topical, rhetorical and literary transformations of the historical person of Copernicus respectively.
Czechs, Germans, Jews?
The phenomenon of national identities, always a key issue in the modern history of Bohemian Jewry, was particularly complex because of the marginal differences that existed between the available choices. Considerable overlap was evident in the programs of the various national movements and it was possible to change one's national identity or even to opt for more than one such identity without necessarily experiencing any far-reaching consequences in everyday life. Based on many hitherto unknown archival sources from the Czech Republic, Israel and Austria, the author's research reveals the inner dynamic of each of the national movements and maps out the three most important constructions of national identity within Bohemian Jewry - the German-Jewish, the Czech-Jewish and the Zionist. This book provides a needed framework for understanding the rich history of German- and Czech-Jewish politics and culture in Bohemia and is a notable contribution to the historiography of Bohemian, Czechoslovak and central European Jewry.
Catastrophe and Utopia
Catastrophe and Utopia studies the biographical trajectories, intellectual agendas, and major accomplishments of select Jewish intellectuals during the age of Nazism, and the partly simultaneous, partly subsequent period of incipient Stalinization. By focusing on the relatively underexplored region of Central and Eastern Europe – which was the primary centre of Jewish life prior to the Holocaust, served as the main setting of the Nazi genocide, but also had notable communities of survivors – the volume offers significant contributions to a European Jewish intellectual history of the twentieth century. Approaching specific historical experiences in their diverse local contexts, the twelve...

Franz Kafka and his Prague Contexts
Franz Kafka is by far the Prague author most widely read and admired internationally. However, his reception in Czechoslovakia, launched by the Liblice conference in 1963, has been conflicted. While rescuing Kafka from years of censorship and neglect, Czech critics of the 1960s “overwrote” his German and Jewish literary and cultural contexts in order to focus on his Czech cultural connections. Seeking to rediscover Kafka’s multiple backgrounds, in Franz Kafka and His Prague Contexts Marek Nekula focuses on Kafka’s Jewish social and literary networks in Prague, his German and Czech bilingualism, and his knowledge of Yiddish and Hebrew. Kafka’s bilingualism is discussed in the contex...
Einstein in Bohemia
"Though Einstein is undoubtedly one of the most important figures in the history of modern science, he was in many respects marginal. Despite being one of the creators of quantum theory, he remained skeptical of it, and his major research program while in Princeton--the quest for a unified field--ultimately failed. In this book, Michael Gordin explores this paradox in Einstein's life by concentrating on a brief and often overlooked interlude: his tenure as professor of physics in Prague, from April of 1911 to the summer of 1912. Though often dismissed by biographers and scholars, it was a crucial year for Einstein both personally and scientifically: his marriage deteriorated, he began thinki...
Der Körper zwischen Täuschung und Wahrheit. Eine Untersuchung des "Tristan" von Gottfried von Straßburg
Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 1998 im Fachbereich Germanistik - Ältere Deutsche Literatur, Mediävistik, Note: 1,3, Technische Universität Berlin (Institut für Deutsche Philologie), Veranstaltung: HS Gottfried von Straßburg: Tristan, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die Geschichte von Tristan und Isolde ist zweifellos eine der bewegendsten Liebesgeschichten, die das Abendland je hervorgebracht hat. Auch wenn sie heute gewiss anders rezipiert wird als zur Zeit ihres Entstehens, fasziniert die Geschichte allein schon durch die Intensität der Gefühle, die die beiden Protagonisten füreinander hegen. Das innere Leben der Hauptfiguren soll im Mittelpunkt der folgenden Arbeit stehen, und zwar unter ...
Zwischen den Wirklichkeiten. Eine Untersuchung ausgewählter Werke Hermann Hesses
Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 1998 im Fachbereich Germanistik - Neuere Deutsche Literatur, einseitig bedruckt, Note: 2,0, Technische Universität Berlin (Institut für Deutsche Philologie), Veranstaltung: Hauptseminar "Hermann Hesse", 15 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Hesses Dichtung wurde nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg zunehmend von einem "magischen Denken" geprägt. Die Erlebnisse der Kriegszeit, Hesses Ehe- und Familienkrise und die Begegnung mit der Psychoanalyse, insbesondere mit der Jungschen Individuationslehre, waren für den Teil von Hesses Werk bestimmend, dem 1919 mit Demian ein Grundstein gelegt wurde. Die Arbeit untersucht den Begriff des Magischen bei Herm...
프란츠 카프카의 그림들
“글쓰기에서와 마찬가지로 그림에서도 카프카는 환상 세계의 창조자다” 새롭게 공개된 작품 100여 점 포함 사상 최초로 카프카의 그림 전작 수록! 프란츠 카프카는 글쓰기 외에 그림을 그리는 데도 진지한 열의를 보였으나 오늘날까지 그림을 그리는 카프카의 이미지는 작가로서의 정체성에 비해 크게 조명받거나 부각되지 않았다. 이는 최근까지 알려진 그의 그림이 40여 점에 불과해 그 수가 비교적 적었기 때문이다. 그러다 2019년 오랜 소유권 분쟁 끝에 마침내 개인이 비공개로 소장하고 있던 카프카의 그림들이 모두 공개...
Kafka
Telling the story of Kafka's final years as never before—the third volume in the acclaimed definitive biography This volume of Reiner Stach's acclaimed and definitive biography of Franz Kafka tells the story of the final years of the writer's life, from 1916 to 1924—a period during which the world Kafka had known came to an end. Stach's riveting narrative, which reflects the latest findings about Kafka's life and works, draws readers in with nearly cinematic precision, zooming in for extreme close-ups of Kafka's personal life, then pulling back for panoramic shots of a wider world blighted by World War I, disease, and inflation. In these years, Kafka was spared military service at the fr...
