  1. Cyclic vitalism : the dialectics of life and death in German poetry around 1900

    Over the past decade, Scandinavian and German scholars have been active in the redefinition of the terms “Vitalism” and “Vitalist” as descriptive categories for analytical purposes in the fields of literary and cultural history. In this context,“Vitalism”has primarily been used to describe an enthusiastic worshipping of life, one that holds youth, health, strength and beauty as its primary attributes, which was prevalent in all aspects of cultural life around 1900. But even the post war founders of the Vitalist re-conceptualisation of this era, Wolfdietrich Rasch and Gunter Martens, warned of taking such a unilateral view ofwhat constituted a Vitalist concept of life. It could lead to a misunderstanding of Vitalist way of thinking, Rasch said, if the focus wasonly set upon the enthusiastic surplus, the worshipping of youth and health. To Vitalists, life is more than that. It is a totality that also encompasses notions of destruction, decay and death. “All life symbols in literature around 1900 are at the same time symbols of death” (Rasch, 1967:24).Through the analyses of three poems, this article aims to show concrete examples of how cyclic Vitalist thinking is embedded in poetry of the era. The analyses include a further sub-categorisation to capture the different types of Life Force dealt with in the texts. By way of an introduction, Vitalism is discussed within the context of the scientific and social developments of the 19th Century.

    Since the fall of the Wall, a new era of East German literature has emerged. This genre of literature exists even though East Germany’s borders dissolved over a decade and half ago and is challenging the way we think about the former German Democratic Republic. East German author Thomas Brussig is pivotal in this new genre of literature. His novels Helden wie wir (1995), Am kürzeren Ende der Sonnenallee (1999) and Leander Haußmann’s cinematic adaptation, Sonnenallee (1999), confront the negative associations and stereotypes connected with East Germany to deconstruct how formal history has portrayed its past and its citizens. Brussig’s texts take a completely different approach to remembering the GDR, which simultaneously challenges history’s dominant perspective as well as the Ostalgie phenomenon. Through his texts’ recollection, Brussig subverts the East German state in hindsight and begins the construction of a new mythology with which to associate former East Germany.

  3. The translators' tale: a translator-centred history of seven English translations (1823-1944) of the Grimms' fairy tale, Sneewittchen

    This thesis explores the backgrounds, motivations and translation practices of the translators of seven English translations of the fairy tale Sneewittchen. It attempts to identify the ‘imprint’ of each of the translators on their translations by highlighting the unique features of each text and formulating explanations for translation practices on the basis of bio-bibliographical research and analysis of translators’ prefaces. It thereby proposes a translator-centred model for research in translation history. It also represents a contribution to the largely unwritten translation history of the Grimms’ tales. The thesis addresses the problems involved in undertaking bio-bibliographical research on translators, the question of the value and reliability of translators’ prefaces, and issues involved in selecting an appropriate research corpus and constructing a corpus-specific translation analysis model. It also provides some insights into the why and how people retranslate texts and contributes to the debate on translation universals. The study demonstrates the complexities involved in seeking to account for translation practices. It nonetheless confirms the hypothesis that translators are ‘active efficient causes’ in the histoiy of translation (Pvm 1998: 160). Individual translators can play an important role in causing translations to be produced and leave a unique ‘imprint’ on their translations The study demonstrates that background information on translators and statements in their prefaces can help to locate this imprint. It also highlights the diversity of the translators’ backgrounds, reasons for translating the text, approach to translation, and attitudes towards the source text, source culture, and target audience. The translators in the study can be compared to storytellers, who shape their text according to time, place, occasion and their own subjectivity. The study shows above all the importance of taking this subjectivity into account, and suggests that the approach adopted here could be used to unite translators, texts, and contexts in translation history.

  4. A literary occupation: responses of German writers in service in occupied Europe

    This thesis examines the literary output of German servicemen writers writing from the occupied territories of Europe in the period 1940-1944. Whereas literary-biographical studies and appraisals of the more significant individual writers have been written, and also a collective assessment of the Eastern front writers, this thesis addresses in addition the German literary responses in France and Greece, as being then theatres of particular cultural/ideological attention. Original papers of the writer Felix Hartlaub were consulted by the author at the Deutsches Literatur Archiv (DLA) at Marbach. Original imprints of the wartime works of the subject writers are referred to throughout, and citations are from these. As all the published works were written under conditions of wartime censorship and, even where unpublished, for fear of discovery written in oblique terms, the texts were here examined for subliminal authorial intention. The critical focus of the thesis is on literary quality: on aesthetic niveau, on applied literary form, and on integrity of authorial intention. The thesis sought to discover: (1) the extent of the literary output in book-length forms. (2) the auspices and conditions under which this literary output was produced. (3) the publication history and critical reception of the output. The thesis took into account, inter alia: (1) occupation policy as it pertained locally to the writers’ remit; (2) the ethical implications of this for the writers; (3) the writers’ literary stratagems for negotiating the constraints of censorship.

  5. Malwida von Meysenbug's journey into Nachmärz : political and personal emancipation in "Eine Reise nach Ostende" (1849)
    Autor*in: Schönfeld, Christiane

    This essay focuses on Malwida von Meysenbug's (1816-1903) rebellious 'travel diary' entitled "Eine Reise nach Ostende" (1849) and her 'extravagant' travels to the Belgian seaside resort, which she undertook together with her girlfriends Anna Koppe... mehr

     

    This essay focuses on Malwida von Meysenbug's (1816-1903) rebellious 'travel diary' entitled "Eine Reise nach Ostende" (1849) and her 'extravagant' travels to the Belgian seaside resort, which she undertook together with her girlfriends Anna Koppe and Elisabeth Althaus during June and July 1849. This text, which was written during the late summer and early autumn of 1949 and published posthumously in 1905 by Gabriel Monod, is both a very personal, almost intimate representation of the failing revolution and a performance of transgression by an unmarried 33-year old female member of the lower ranks of aristocracy.
