Julian Wagner Oral History (interview Code: 29795)
Zusammenfassung: Audiovisual testimony of a Holocaust survivor. Includes pre-war, wartime, and post-war experiences
The Philosophies of Richard Wagner
In addition to being a great composer, Richard Wagner was also an important philosopher. Julian Young begins by examining the philosophy of art and society Wagner constructs during his time as a revolutionary anarchist-communist. Modernity, Wagner argued, is to be rescued from its current anomie through the rebirth of Greek tragedy (the original Gesamtkunstwerk) in the form of the “artwork of the future," an artwork of which his own operas are the prototype. Young then examines the entirely different philosophy Wagner constructs after his 1854 conversion from Hegelian optimism to Schopenhauerian pessimism. “Redemption” now becomes, not a future utopia in this world, but rather “trans...
On Top of the Box
Julian Wagner is an aspiring young author who discovered at a tender age that he had a reading and writing disability. After a period of self-doubt, Julian realized that, what he lacked in linguistic skills he made up for with creativity, and he soon learned that there's more to intelligence than the regurgitation of information. In a world that often stifles free thinking and independence, Julian wishes to set a new precedent for what should be accepted. Encouraging others to live the way they want to live, he hopes we'll one day push through society's boundaries.
Twilight of the Gods
The composer Richard Wagner and the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche were good friends but on the day of Wagner's greatest triumph, the opening of his Opera House at Bayreuth, Nietzsche walked away from the friendship and later threatened to kill Wagner. Soon after these bizarre events Wagner died and Nietzsche went raving mad, spending the last ten years of his life in a permanent state of catatonia. The extraordinary details of the quarrel between these two giants of 19th Century culture is dramatically revealed when the haunting Ghost of Richard Wagner materialises to the raving Nietzsche within the walls of the Turin Lunatic Asylum.
Ambiguity and Narratology
As a well-known phenomenon in everyday communication, ambiguity has increasingly become the subject of interdisciplinary research in recent years. However, within this context, it has been observed that words or expressions situated within the artistic framework of storytelling have not yet been at the centre of research interest. This book aims to bridge this gap by examining the phenomenon of ambiguity from the perspective of narratology – understood as a general theory of narration and narrative communication. The volume pursues two goals: Firstly, it seeks to demonstrate that the interdisciplinary combination of linguistics, cultural history and narratology enriches the field of litera...
Orphic Voice(s): A Narratological Commentary on Ovid's Metamorphoses 10.1-11.84
The book offers an in-depth narratological analysis of the 'Book of Orpheus' (10.1-11.84) of Ovid's Metamorphoses. Starting from fundamental aspects of narrative like time, space, and focalisation, the commentary highlights the polyphony of the various narrative levels. The complex and challenging design results from a constant oscillation between the narrator-persona of Ovid and the programmatic Orpheus-figure which has found a wealth of interpretations. In addition, the study places the 10th book in the overall narrative framework of Ovid's Metamorphoses with its density of intertextuality and metanarrativity.
