Goethe's Faust and Cultural Memory

This book is an interdisciplinary collection of essays examining Goethe’s Faust and its derivatives in European, North American, and South American cultural contexts. It takes both a canonic and archival approach to Faust in studies of adaptations, performances, appropriations, sources, and the translation of the drama contextualized within cultural environments ranging from Gnosticism to artificial intelligence.

Vanitas und Gesellschaft

Gegenwärtig lässt sich in unterschiedlichen gesellschaftlichen Diskursfeldern eine Bezugnahme auf das Motiv der ‚Vanitas‘ (Vergänglichkeit) feststellen. Die Beiträge dieses Band widmen sich der überraschenden Virulenz eines ursprünglich christlichen und in der Frühen Neuzeit wirkmächtigen Konzeptes in Popkultur, Literatur, Musik und bildender Kunst und verdeutlichen ferner seine Relevanz für Soziologie, Theologie, Philosophie, Psychologie und Medizin. Bedeutung erlangt Vanitas sowohl mit traditionell dem Motiv verwandten Themen wie Trauer und Mortalität als auch in Verbindung mit hochaktuellen Diskursen über Beschleunigungs- und Kontingenzerfahrungen, dystopischen Szenarien de...
