    Abstract: The intense concerns with time, space and consciousness structure modernist and postmodernist Gothic narratives with the elements been treated much differently in these periods from the previous ages, owing to the hypotheses of great twentieth and twenty first century philosophers such as Henri Bergson, Edmund Husserl, Martin Heidegger and Jean-Paul Sartre, later to be followed by Gilles Deleuze, for whom the linear spatialized concept of time and the traditional notions of space and consciousness are no more than ideal speculations and to whom the existential views of time, space and consciousness make reasonable substitutes. Don DeLillo's Point Omega is among the postmodern works which touch upon philosophical contemplations on metaphysical dilemmas such as the meaning of true life, ultimate consciousness, unanimity of perception and reality, and extraterrestrial concepts of time and space. It is set in a traumatized present, outside of history while the very absence of future an

    Im Zentrum der Arbeit steht die Untersuchung der Konzepte Trauma und Zuhause in den Romanen der afroamerikanischen Schriftstellerin und Nobelpreisträgerin Toni Morrison. Die Verbindung des psychologischen Traumasymptoms mit dem geographischen und phenomenologischen Begriff des Zuhauses wird besonders deutlich in Morrisons Trilogie bestehend aus den Romanen Beloved, Jazz und Paradise. Morrisons geht davon aus, dass die Schaffung eines Zuhauses, sei es auf persönlicher oder nationaler Ebene, unmittelbar an die Kenntnis seiner Geschichte geknüpft ist. Die Kenntnis der räumlichen Koordinaten des Menschen ist sozusagen von der Kenntnis seiner historischen Koordinaten abhängig. Ausgehend von der Tatsache, dass die Geschichte der Afroamerikaner innerhalb der amerikanischen Geschichtsschreibung die längste Zeit vernachlässigt wurde, hat es sich Morrison zum Ziel gesetzt, eben diese Geschichte wiederzuentdecken, wiederzuerinnern und aus der afroamerikanischen Perspektive heraus, wiederzuschreiben. Die hier untersuchte historiographische Trilogie untersucht die nationale Identität der USA im Hinblick auf ihre afroamerikanische Minderheit und versucht eine Wiederherstellung des sozialen Gedächtnisses der ehemaligen Sklaven. Dabei umfasst sie die Geschichte der Afroamerikaner beginnend bei der ursprünglichen Entwurzelung der afrikanischen Gefangenen von ihrer Heimat in der Middle Passage, über Sklaverei, Reconstruction, Jim Crow und der jüngeren Geschichte der Harlem Renaissance bis hin zur Bürgerrechtsbewegung in den 70er Jahren des 20. Jahrhunderts. Somit stellen diese drei Romane eine eindringliche Neuverortung des afroamerikanischen Raumes innerhalb der amerikanischen historischen Landkarte dar. Die Romane sind dabei poetisch und politisch zugleich, denn Morrison nutzt ihr literarisches Talent, um den amerikanischen Raum als Ort afroamerikanischen Traumas abzubilden. Um die beiden Ebenen Psychologie/Trauma und Geographie/Raum konzeptionell zusammenzuführen, beginnt die Arbeit mit einer Vorstellung des theoretischen ...

    Location, and in a broader sense, the complex representation of space constitutes a key issue in John Updike’s Rabbit tetralogy and Richard Ford’s Frank Bascombe trilogy. Both authors chronicle the suburban life of their male protagonists in the Eastern United States from 1959 to the turn of the century. The aim of this thesis is to derive from seven novels (and the novella Rabbit Remembered) how the main characters perceive space and how they construe their sense of place. Relying on the method of close reading, this study examines Updike’s and Ford’s literature within the discourse of the male protagonists’ white middle class world. This dissertation takes a socio-spatial approach to Updike’s and Ford’s multivolume fiction and shows in what ways space serves as an organizing principle of their texts. With regard to the writing and reading of Updike’s and Ford’s landscapes, this study draws on the critical work by Robert T. Tally Jr., who differentiates between “literary cartography” and “literary geography” in his monograph Spatiality. In their fiction, Updike and Ford create a “literary cartography” by meticulously mapping their main characters’ surroundings. By analogy, this dissertation represents a “literary geography” gained through a spatial reading of their texts. Crucial to this research project was a triadic reading of both authors’ literature. First, the chapter on (sub)urban space investigates how the characters cognitively map space. Second, this study probes the representation of social space. In this context, the state of community life and the structure of civic engagement are examined. The third pillar of the triadic reading of space focuses on the protagonists’ private sphere and scrutinizes the representation of domestic space. The nexus between these three fields of investigation determines the main characters’ idea of home and their sense of place. This study contributes to the field of spatiality in literary criticism, and it encourages a triadic reading of suburban literature written from ...

  6. Spatial Belonging: Approaching Aboriginal Australian Spaces in Contemporary Fiction

    Based upon the overall assumption that cultures can be seen as “ensembles of narratives†(Müller-Funk 2008: 171; translation of the original term “Ensembles von Narrativen†by the author of this study), this thesis sets out to approach indigenous Australian manifestations of space and belonging as represented in three contemporary novels by Aboriginal authors. Within this endeavour, the category of the narrative represents the ultimate conceptual and culturally specific nexus. This is due to the fact that – when “seeing life as storied†(Bamberg 2009: 136) – indigenous Australian narratives in the form of novels constitute an adequate backdrop for shedding light on the culturally specific spatial as well as narrative contingency of Aboriginal lifeworlds. In order to grasp the multilayered and volatile levels of Aboriginal manifestations of spatiality, this thesis conceptualizes indigenous Australian spaces as a form of belonging – proceeding on the assumption that the notion of belonging represents a useful instrument for approaching the overall complexity of indigenous Australian spatial lifeworlds, specifically on their social, geographical and historical levels (cf. Miller 2006). As literary texts hold available a huge range of representations of spatiality, contemporary novels by indigenous Australian authors are a viable means for the analysis of the complexities of Aboriginal manifestations of spatial belonging on the basis of their fictional representations. To bridge the gap between culturally specific, extraliterary discourses on Aboriginal forms of spatial belonging and their negotiations in fictional narratives, this thesis implements the concept of worldmaking (cf. Goodmann 1985 [1978], Nünning/Nünning 2010a), which highlights the reciprocal relationship between literary texts and the non-literary worlds as well as their mutual construction. Regarding its corpus of primary literature, the dissertation focuses on widely known contemporary indigenous Australian novels – That Deadman ...

    There is a long tradition of regarding landscapes as texts and texts as landscapes. Characterizing visually experienced nature as a text implies stressing its meaningfulness, its character as a message or an expression. According to an old metaphor that was highly esteemed in medieval Christian culture as well as in early modem science, nature itself is a divine message addressed to mankind, analogously to the holy scriptures, revealing the will of God as the superior "author" to those who are able to decipher the signs. As a consequence of the process of secularization, art gains authority over the signs of nature, and it is the artist who creates messages by composing the elements of the visual world. The idea of interpreting texts as landscapes seems less evident at the first moment; it implies the notion of texts and landscapes as artificial products which depend on an individual human subject's intentions.

    The aim of this introductory article [to the volume of the same title], firstly, is to recapitulate the basic principles of Bakhtin’s initial theory as formulated in “Forms of Time and of the Chronotope in the Novel: Notes toward a Historical Poetics” (henceforth FTC) and “The Bildungsroman and its Significance in the History of Realism (Toward a Historic Typology of the Novel)” (henceforth BSHR). Subsequently, we present some relevant elaborations of Bakhtin’s initial concept and a number of applications of chronotopic analysis, closing our state of the art by outlining two perspectives for further investigation. Some of the issues which we touch upon receive more detailed treatment in other contributions to this volume. Others may offer perspectives for future Bakhtin scholarship.

    This edited volume is the first scholarly tome exclusively dedicated to Mikhail Bakhtin’s theory of the literary chronotope. This concept, initially developed in the 1930s and used as a frame of reference throughout Bakhtin’s own writings, has been highly influential in literary studies. After an extensive introduction that serves as a ‘state of the art’, the volume is divided into four main parts: Philosophical Reflections, Relevance of the Chronotope for Literary History, Chronotopical Readings and Some Perspectives for Literary Theory. These thematic categories contain contributions by well-established Bakhtin specialists such as Gary Saul Morson and Michael Holquist, as well as a number of essays by scholars who have published on this subject before. Together the papers in this volume explore the implications of Bakhtin’s concept of the chronotope for a variety of theoretical topics such as literary imagination, polysystem theory and literary adaptation; for modern views on literary history ranging from the hellenistic romance to nineteenth-century realism; and for analyses of well-known novelists and poets as diverse as Milton, Fielding, Dickinson, Dostoevsky, Papadiamandis and DeLillo

  10. 'The exile from the law' : keeping and transgressing the limits in Jewish law

    What is an exilic law? The Talmud was itself located 'in exile' without ever being considered 'exilic': the self-representation of the Talmud is consistent with the idea that Jewish law might be redacted in diaspora but is still centred on the Temple of Jerusalem. Yet the Zohar offers a unique representation of Jewish law as a central legal product and a metaphysically exiled reality. Hence, Jewish law has not only been born 'in exile' but also has an 'exilic' nature. An exilic law, then, is a tenebrous 'path' that inverts the 'moral ways' of Jewish law, as it departs from the 'exilic centre' of Babylon and installs a 'non-exilic centre' on Mount Moria, where Isaac was almost sacrificed and the Temple of Jerusalem was erected. When Scripture is brought out in an 'exodus', it departs from the solid terrain of an 'exilic law' and radicalizes the event of Abraham's being called to sacrifice his own son by producing a notable inversion of the notion of 'literal sense'. And yet this 'literal sense' that has always been there had almost been neglected, just like a 'purloined letter' - in every sense of the expression.

    This article shows that 'tension' cannot be conceived as a specific object of an analysis for which one could determine a precise field of enquiry. Instead, it establishes tension as a specific mode or angle of approach with which any given contingent object or set of objects can be explored. The wideness of its applicability and the specificity of its angle suggest that research on tension can help to unfold a better understanding of a classical ontological question concerning the essential value of actions and relations in the definition of what a thing is. The text follows this line of argumentation by pairing contemporary philosophical sources and specific aesthetic and political examples. Suggesting the possibility of an open classification of different modes of tension, it clarifies the extent to which the essential definition of a thing is bound to the contingent analysis of its transformations.

    "Das Aussereinander", schreibt Gustav Teichmüller in seiner Abhandlung "Die wirkliche und scheinbare Welt", "bedeutet bloss, dass die Vorstellungen verschieden bleiben und nicht verschmelzen sollen." Wenn aber Räumlichkeit dergestalt relativiert wird, sind nicht nur die Bedingungen jedes objektiven Koordinatensystems und jeder subjektiven Orientierung a priori abgeräumt. Denn die Möglichkeit eines entscheidenden Kriteriums für die Trennung zwischen Innen- und Außenraum wird ebenso außer Kraft gesetzt, im wörtlichen wie im übertragenen Sinne. Ausgegangen wird in den folgenden Seiten von der Frage, wie nach dem Aussetzen oder Einstürzen jeglicher statthaften räumlichen Ordnung weiter erzählt wird. Durch eine Auseinandersetzung mit Friedrich Nietzsches "Also sprach Zarathustra" und Edgar Allan Poes "The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym" soll auszugsweise angedeutet werden, wie diesen desorientierenden Schriften anders charakterisierte Räume eingeschrieben sind.
