Kritik ist mehr als der Gegenstand dieses Buches. Sie ist auch der ursprüngliche Impuls des Denkens, der es methodisch und inhaltlich strukturiert: In 19 aufeinander aufbauenden Abschnitten drängt Kritik das Denken zur produktiven Auseinandersetzung mit dessen Negativität. Angelpunkt dieser Selbstbewegung des Denkens ist die "reine Erfahrung". In ihr stehen klassisch kantische Problemkomplexe im konstellativen Zusammenhang mit existenzialphilosophischen und phänomenologischen Paradigmen; Urteilslogik verschwistert sich mit Verzweiflung, Unsicherheit, Kreativität, und schliesslich: mit der Kunst.
Bilder, die eine Geschichte erzählen, werden in verschiedenen Kontexten als Erzählanlässe genutzt, z.B. in Vorlesesituationen, zur Sprachförderung oder als Schreibanlass. Allerdings bleibt bei der Auswahl narrativer Bilder (z.B. von Bildimpulsen oder Bildergeschichten) häufig das narratoästhetische Potential der Bildgestaltung unberücksichtigt. In dieser Arbeit werden Wirkungspotentiale von Bildern durch einen interdisziplinären Zugriff theoretisch entfaltet und in einer qualitativ-quantitativen Erzähltextanalyse empirisch untersucht. Dabei zeigt sich, dass die Bildgestaltung Einfluss auf den narrativen Sprachgebrauch nimmt und bei visuellen Erzählimpulsen berücksichtigt werden sollte. Ein wichtiges Ergebnis für die deutschdidaktische Forschung und die schulische Praxis gleichermaßen stellt ein Gestaltungskontinuum für narratoästhetische Erzählimpulse dar. Es kann genutzt werden, um narrative Bilder kategoriengeleitet zu analysieren und ihr Potential für das sprachlich-ästhetische Lernen im Deutschunterricht zu bewerten.
Novelist-critic Leopoldo Alas's reputation suffered neglect and silent reproval during much of the twentieth century, especially under the Franco regime, but his reputation has now achieved classic status in Spain. Clearly related to this is the great increase in the number of translations - Julian Barnes called La Regenta 'the foreign classic tardily discovered'. This bibliography picks up where the first one left off in 1984. It is divided into primary material and secondary material. Primary material includes: Anthologies and Selections; Criticism; Novels; Short Story Collections; Plays; Correspondence; Prologues; Reprints; Translations; and Miscellaneous, with two new categories: autograph manuscripts and iconography.
Among the plethora of heroes of different significance (religious, artistic, political, etc.), national archetypes stand out because they represent the outstanding traits of their fellow citizens and at the same time serve as role models for them. How these archetypes are formed in some countries, and what their specific features are, constitutes the starting point for this study. The book then enters a second phase with the narration of their jobs as literary heroes, culminating in a reflection on the possible effects that the archetype may have on the behaviour of workers and employers in the respective country. After the analysis of the five main European countries, the book undertakes a comparative study of other non-European archetypes, where the profiles are quite different.

As early as 1760 and as late as 1920, Romantic drama dominated Peninsular Spanish theater. This love affair with Romanticism influenced the formation of Spain's modern national identity, which depended heavily on defining women's place in 19th century society. Women who defied traditional gender roles became a source of anxiety in society and on stage. The adulteress embodied the fear of rebellious women, the growing pains of modernity and the political instability of war and invasion. This book examines the conflicted portrayal of women and the Spanish national identity. Studying the adulteress on stage, the author provides insight into the uneasy tension between progress and tradition in 19th century Spain.
In this volume a team of three dozen international experts presents a fresh picture of literary prose fiction in the Romantic age seen from cross-cultural and interdisciplinary perspectives. The work treats the appearance of major themes in characteristically Romantic versions, the power of Romantic discourse to reshape imaginative writing, and a series of crucial reactions to the impact of Romanticism on cultural life down to the present, both in Europe and in the New World. Through its combination of chapters on thematic, generic, and discursive features, Romantic Prose Fiction achieves a unique theoretical stance, by considering the opinions of primary Romantics and their successors not a...
Known as "the notary" by his contemporaries for his very proper disposition, Georges Seurat (1859-1891), was nonetheless a trailblazing artist, who devised mesmerizing effects in paint, creating what Museum of Modern Art, New York director Alfred Barr described as a "strange, almost breathless poise." Seurat's most famous painting, "La Grande Jatte" (1884), exemplifies the airy suspension of which "Pointillism" (as his style of painting-by-dabs was named) is uniquely capable, a sensation well suited to evoking in paint the sedate pace of Paris' new leisure class. For Seurat, Pointillism was also a way to attain for painting the mathematically explicable harmony of music: "Art is Harmony. Har...
