Entre Botânicas Decoloniais – As Frutas Silvestres de Henry David Thoreau e Frutas Brasileiras
Entre botânicas decoloniais: as frutas silvestres de Henry David Thoreau e frutas brasileiras reúne três traduções inéditas de textos botânicos de Thoreau, um minidicionário botanicamente situado e três ensaios ecocríticos que promovem a troca de ideias entre Botânica, Literatura e História, a partir do conhecido autor norte-americano. No livro, as plantas, além de terem história e fazem história, ditam relações e despertam percepções humanas não só sobre paisagem e sobre o mundo natural, mas também participam da construção de visões sobre a política, sobre a identidade, sobre os processos de mudança na Nova Inglaterra dos EUA e no Brasil. Ao unir Botânica, Literatura e História, a obra aponta para a multiplicidade de agências que o encontro entre humanos e plantas ofereceu, tanto na época de Thoreau como possibilita no Brasil contemporâneo. Contribui-se, assim, para o campo das Humanidades Ambientais e para a Ecocrítica no país.
Goethe’s Faust and the Divan of Ḥāfiẓ
This book explores the poetic articulations of a shift from a transcendent to an immanent worldview, as reflected in the manner of evaluation of body and soul in Goethe’s Faust and Ḥāfiẓ’ Divan. Focusing on two lifeworks that illustrate their authors’ respective intellectual histories, this cross-genre study goes beyond the textual confines of the two poets’ Divans to compare important building blocks of their intellectual worlds.
Writing the Environment
The contributors to this critique of the modern world write about a range of environment-related issues and assess the impact of a variety of groups on popular culture. They see the environmental crisis as the limit of postmodernism.
In Search of Frankenstein
What is the link between Mary Shelley's novel Frankenstein and the history and myth surrounding the German barons Frankenstein...who inhabited castle Frankenstein on the top of Magnet Mountain near Darmstadt from the early Middle ages? From the most bizarre myths that surround the Frankenstein story, to the forces that were at work during the rainy summer of 1816 when Mary Shelley devised her tale, and the legacy of Frankenstein in print, in film and on stage, Professor Florescu leaves no stone unturned in his search for this legendary monster.
Hexenangst und Hexenverfolgung in Goethes ›Faust‹
Schätzungsweise 60 000 tödlich endende Hexenprozesse in Europa haben nicht nur in Prozessakten Spuren hinterlassen. Im Bewusstsein der Zeitgenossen – und in der Literatur – blieben sie noch lange nach den großen Verfolgungswellen präsent. Wenn man sich das markante Geschehen heute ins Gedächtnis ruft, sind neue Einblicke in die Literaturgeschichte und in Konstanten des Empfindens von Bedrohung möglich. Dies zeigt das Beispiel Goethes Faust: Das Drama enthält nicht nur die bekannten Hexenimaginationen, sondern auch viel mehr historische Wirklichkeit als bisher wahrgenommen worden ist. Und weil es eines der besterforschten Werke ist, kann man es als Präzedenzfall für verschwiegene Spuren in der Literatur(wissenschaft) betrachten. In der Studie wird Goethes Wissen um die Hexenverfolgung ermittelt und dessen Manifestation im Faust rekonstruiert. Einerseits führt dies zu einer an vielen Stellen neuen Interpretation des Werkes. Andererseits stößt man auf beredte Leerstellen in der Literaturwissenschaft, die Sozialgeschichte rezipiert und schreibt.
