Mind the Text! Neurohermeneutics for Suspicious Readers
At the convergence of human studies, biocultural and neuroscientific research, this book offers unprecedented insights into the interpretation of literary texts. It presents the neurohermeneutics of suspicion—a bold, innovative approach illuminating the intricate bond between literature and the human mind. Embracing ambiguity as a hallmark of literature, readers are encouraged to adopt a suspicious stance to unearth the complex, multilayered and dynamic nature of literary texts, thereby fully engaging their imagination and their embodied, emotional and imaginative faculties. Our exploration navigates the crossroads of language, thought, culture, and biology, delving into hidden layers of meaning within literary texts. This transformative exploration not only redefines literary scholarship but also offers lay readers a dynamic, immersive reading experience. Ultimately, this book aims to ignite curiosity, suspense, and surprise, transforming the act of reading into a creative and engaging journey through the depths of the human mind and aesthetic experiences.
Goethe in Context
One of the most prolific and versatile writers of all time, Johann Wolfgang Goethe (1749–1832) made an impact that continues to extend far beyond his native Germany. The variety of human questions and experiences treated in his works is arguably without parallel. He also had (for his era) an unusually long life, which spanned the French Revolution, the end of the Holy Roman Empire and subsequent reshaping of the German-speaking world, and the rapid onset of industrial modernity. In thirty-seven short essays, leading international scholars explore Goethe's life and times, his literary works, his activity in the realms of art, philosophy and natural science, his reception of – and indeed by – other cultures, and, finally, the resonance of his work in our time. The aim of this collection is to open as many windows as possible onto Goethe's wide-ranging intellectual and practical activity, and to give a sense of his ongoing importance.
Animals and Humans in German Literature, 1800-2000
The recent emergence of the discipline of literary animal studies regards literature in itself as constitutive element of a history of knowledge. The discipline has led not only to the expansion of the corpus of texts traditionally connected with animals, but also established new concepts and methods for revising conventional cultural dichotomies (subject and object, human and animal). The 10 essays collected in this volume are devoted to a wide range of case studies on the relationship between animality and poetics in German-language literature since the 19th century. They display a variety of theoretical and methodological approaches to a number of texts packed with references to animals, considered not primarily as objects of literature, but as agents endowed with an active role in the production of literature, and which have left repressed or forgotten traces in texts.
The Burgtheater and Austrian Identity
"The collapse of the Habsburg monarchy in 1918 galvanized discussion about national identity in the new Republic of Austria. As Robert Pyrah shows in this thoroughly documented study, the complex identity politics of interwar Austria were played out in the theatres of Vienna, which enjoyed a cultural prominence rarely matched in other countries. By 1934, productions across the city were being co-opted to serve the newly patriotic cause of the Dollfuss and Schuschnigg regimes, and the Burgtheater, once known as the first German stage, had been transformed into a national theatre for Austria. Using case studies of key productions and a wealth of previously unseen archival material, Pyrah sheds new light on artistic and ideological developments throughout the period, including the neglected earlier years. He documents previously unexplored overlaps in the cultural programmes of Left and Right, and unearths evidence that key institutions were subverted by the Right well before the suspension of parliamentary rule in 1933."
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...
Linguaggio, letteratura e scienze neuro-cognitive
Simulazione, embodiment, frame, script, blending: negli ultimi anni la teoria letteraria, a cominciare dalla narratologia, si è arricchita di una molteplicità di categorie provenienti dalle scienze neuro-cognitive e si è orientata, a partire dal mondo anglosassone, verso la cognitive poetics. Questo libro raccoglie contributi innovativi di autori che in modo diverso, e con orizzonti letterari che spaziano dal romanzo del Novecento alla letteratura per l'infanzia, attingono al repertorio teorico e analitico della cognitive poetics per proporre una visione nuova della letteratura e dell'esperienza che ne facciamo.
