Imperative of Narration
This is the first book to deal with the self-reflexive nature of narration of Beckett and Bernhard. Samuel Beckett's and Thomas Bernhard's works are representative of a persisting perplexity with regard to language. The texts of both authors are marked by their narrator's obsessive need to write, which is inextricably intertwined with their profound suspicion of language. The perpetuation of the narration is explained as an imperative, a simultaneously conscious and unconscious command which forces the artist to submit to the creative process. The author places this inexplicable force of the imperative within the context of Arthur Schopenhauer's aesthetic theory and Jacques Lacan's concept of desire. The attempt to define and interpret the two authors' prose and drama is displaced by this sense of the infinity of desire (Lacan) and by the eternal becoming of the will (Schopenhauer), which reveal themselves to lie at the heart of Beckett's and Bernhard's creativity.
From Quantum to Cosmos
Space-based laboratory research in fundamental physics is an emerging research discipline that offers great discovery potential and at the same time could drive the development of technological advances which are likely to be important to scientists and technologists in many other different research fields. The articles in this review volume have been contributed by participants of the international workshop "From Quantum to Cosmos : Fundamental Physics Research in Space" held at the Airlie Center in Warrenton, Virginia, USA, on May 21-24, 2006. This unique volume discusses the advances in our understanding of fundamental physics that are anticipated in the near future, and evaluates the dis...
Die Gewalt des Anderen
Thomas Bernhards Protagonisten ertrinken, erfrieren oder erhängen sich, sie werden erwürgt, enthauptet, in die Tiefe gestürzt, erschossen, erschlagen, eingemauert, erdrosselt, vergiftet, erdrückt, erstickt, zerquetscht, zerfetzt oder ausgelöscht und vernichtet. Doch zeichnet die flqq Mordtintefrqq, mit der Bernhard seine Texte verfaßt, wirklich nur das Bild einer bösartig-destruktiven Gewalt nach oder liegt seinem Schreiben auch eine gutartig-kreative zugrunde? Nico Schulte-Ebbert untersucht in seiner Arbeit unterschiedliche Äußerungsformen der Gewalt im Prosawerk des österreichischen Schriftstellers, indem er es in zwei Blöcke einteilt und in beiden charakteristische Gewaltherde ausmacht. Er weist dabei in bernhardtypischen Themen und Motiven wie dem Erbe, dem Gehen oder der Wiederholung violentistische Strukturen nach, die eine neue, andere, doch im Hinblick auf Studien Erich Fromms und René Girards eine archaische, elementare Ästhetik der Gewalt erkennen lassen.
