Lossagungsrechte von Verfügungen von Todes wegen insbesondere nach dem Eintritt der Testierunfähigkeit
Die Ausarbeitung stellt gegenwärtige und künftige Herausforderungen des Erbrechts mit Blick auf das Testieren und Lossagen von Verfügungen in den Fokus. Dabei werden dogmatische und normative Ansätze einerseits, sowie empirische Ansätze andererseits gewählt, um zu eruieren, inwieweit sich Dogmatik gegenüber der Empirie und insbesondere den empirischen Sozialforschungen zu öffnen vermag oder dieser sogar bedarf. Nach einem dogmatischen Abriss zu dem gegenwärtigen, literarischen Sachstand wird eine eigene Fragebogenstudie entwickelt mit dem Ziel, die aufgeworfenen, dogmatischen Forschungsfragen mit den gewonnen, empirischen Erkenntnissen zu konfrontieren, um daraus Ergebnisse für unser geltendes Recht abzuleiten. Das Projekt mündet darin, die Erkenntnisse rechtspolitischen Reformvorschlägen zuzuführen. Das Erbrecht wird sich mit Blick auf die steigende Lebenserwartung und die Verteilung von Ressourcen in den nächsten Jahrzehnten größten Herausforderungen stellen müssen.
Ovid and the Moderns
"The reasons for the conspicuous popularity of Ovid--his life as well as his works--at the turn of the new millennium bear investigation.... This book speaks of the new bodies assumed in the twentieth century by the poems and tales to which Ovid gave their classic form--including prominently the account of his own life, which has been hailed by many writers of our time as the archetype of exile.... I intend to suggest some of the reasons for Ovid's appeal to different writers and different generations."--from the PrefaceTheodore Ziolkowski approaches Ovid's Latin poetry as a comparatist, not as a classicist, and maintains that the contextualization of individual works helps place them in a l...
Handbook of Autobiography / Autofiction
Autobiographical writings have been a major cultural genre from antiquity to the present time. General questions of the literary as, e.g., the relation between literature and reality, truth and fiction, the dependency of author, narrator, and figure, or issues of individual and cultural styles etc., can be studied preeminently in the autobiographical genre. Yet, the tradition of life-writing has, in the course of literary history, developed manifold types and forms. Especially in the globalized age, where the media and other technological / cultural factors contribute to a rapid transformation of lifestyles, autobiographical writing has maintained, even enhanced, its popularity and importanc...
Two Thousand Years of Solitude
Banished by the emperor Augustus in AD 8 from Rome to the far-off shores of Romania, the poet Ovid stands at the head of the Western tradition of exiled authors. In his Tristia (Sad Things) and Epistulae ex Ponto (Letters from the Black Sea), Ovid records his unhappy experience of political, cultural, and linguistic displacement from his homeland. Two Thousand Years of Solitude: Exile After Ovid is an interdisciplinary study of the impact of Ovid's banishment upon later Western literature, exploring responses to Ovid's portrait of his life in exile. For a huge variety of writers throughout the world in the two millennia after his exile, Ovid has performed the rôle of archetypal exile, allowing them to articulate a range of experiences of disgrace, dislocation, and alienation; and to explore exile from a number of perspectives, including both the personal and the fictional.
Metamorphosis
The origins of selected instances of metamorphosis in Germanic literature are traced from their roots in Ovid's Metamorphoses, grouped roughly on an 'ascending evolutionary scale' (invertebrates, birds, animals, and mermaids). Whilst a broad range of mythological, legendary, fairytale and folktale traditions have played an appreciable part, Ovid's Metamorphoses is still an important comparative analysis and reference point for nineteenth- and twentieth-century German-language narratives of transformations. Metamorphosis is most often used as an index of crisis: an existential crisis of the subject or a crisis in a society's moral, social or cultural values. Specifically selected texts for an...
Narrating Life – Experiments with Human and Animal Bodies in Literature, Science and Art
Narrating Life explores the relationship between literature, science and the arts and the way in which they are informed by the process of narrating life. More specifically, it asks: how do literature, science and the arts affect and are affected by the emergence of a critical culture of biopolitics and its rhetorical figurations? Its topicality for literary and cultural studies lies therefore in its exploration of the question: to what extent could narratives of life (or life-writing) be understood as a special practice through which to access the contemporary discussion about biopolitics with its strategies of immunity, mutation, and contagion. The individual contributions address these qu...
