Poetry and Contemporary Visual Culture / Lyrik und Zeitgenössische Visuelle Kultur
This book's goal is to determine the significance of visual culture in the production of contemporary poetry and to sound out the insights poetry might generate into contemporary visual culture. Its main hypothesis is that poetry holds considerable potential for (post-)digital language, image, and media criticism. The visual dimensions of recent poetry encompass, for instance, kinetic writing in digital poetry, visual elements in social media poems, and (spoken and written) text-image interactions in poetry films as well as in book poetry. The articles examine these medial correlations and their political implications by asking how visual culture is applied, exposed, and debated in poetry. T...
Poetic Maneuvers
The first English-language study of the German author and critic Hans Magnus Enzensberger.
A Poet's Reich
A re-examination of the George Circle in the cultural and political contexts of Wilhelmine, Weimar, and Nazi Germany. Stefan George (1868-1933) was one of the most important figures in modern German culture. His poetry, in its originality and impact, has been ranked with that of Goethe and Hölderlin. Yet George's reach extended beyond the sphereof literature. In the early 1900s, he gathered around himself a circle of disciples who subscribed to his vision of comprehensive cultural-spiritual renewal and sought to turn it into reality. The ideas of the George Circle profoundly affected Germany's educated middle class, especially in the aftermath of the First World War, when their critique of ...
Schiller's "On Grace and Dignity" in Its Cultural Context
The first English scholarly edition of Schiller's pivotal essay, accompanied by the first comprehensive commentary on it. Friedrich Schiller is not only one of the leading poets and dramatists of German Classicism but also an inspiring philosopher. His essay "Über Anmut und Würde" (On Grace and Dignity) marks a radical break with Enlightenment thinking and its morally prescriptive agenda. Here Schiller does not pursue the prevalent interest in the individual artist as genius or in the creative act; instead, he establishes a harmony of mind and body in the aesthetic realm, putting down his thoughts on aesthetics in a systematic way for the first time, building on his own earlier forays into...
Akten des XI. Internationalen Germanistenkongresses Paris 2005
In Band 7 der Akten des XI. Internationalen Germanistenkongresses Paris 2005 stehen literaturwissenschaftliche Fragen vom Hochmittelalter bis zur Frühmoderne im Vordergrund. Wo Bilder und sprachlich artikulierte Werke einander kontextualisieren, entstehen Verhältnisse der Interdependenz oder des Austauschs. Diese werden in der Sektion «Bild, Rede, Schrift» auf ihr Potential hin befragt. Untersucht werden kalkulierte Kombinationen von Text und Bild wie auch unterschwellige Phänomene eines Austauschs oder Konnexes. In der Sektion «Kleriker, Adel, Stadt» werden diese kulturgeschichtlichen Kategorien, die gern heuristisch zur Typisierung mittelalterlicher Literatur dienen, nach ihrem Konf...
The Poet’s Role
This study of contemporary German poetry represents the first attempt to examine comprehensively and at some length the lyric response to the unification period. It sets out to investigate, by means of close textual analysis, whether the German ‘Wende’ was also a turning-point for poetry, exploring how GDR poets responded both to the revolutionary events of 1989 and subsequently to the new, united Germany. An introductory chapter considers what is distinct about poetry as a genre, especially under censorship or amid historic change, as well as outlining the post-unification ‘Literaturstreit’. The following chapter offers a survey of the poet’s role in the GDR from 1949 until 1989. ...
Cults and Conspiracies
After much investigation, Ziolkowski reinforces Umberto Eco's notion that the most powerful secret, the magnetic center of conspiracy fiction, is in fact "a secret without content."
