  1. "Alles was lebendig wirken soll, muß eingehüllt sein" : Formreflexion in Goethes Sonett Mächtiges Überraschen

    The article engages in a close reading of Goethe's sonnet "Mächtiges Überraschen", published in the sonnet cycle of 1807. In it the poetic voice evokes a mountain river whose course is suddenly interrupted by the limiting force of a dam. Paradoxically, however, the effect of this is not stagnation, but the emergence and celebration of a "new life". This paradox will be illuminated by a discussion of Goethe's "Morphologie" as a universal scientific method. Morphology studies the infinite variety of (natural) forms while also insisting on their individual limitation. Goethe's understanding of life lingers on the co-presence of "coined form" and "living development" as he formulates it in "Urworte. Orphisch". "Mächtiges Überraschen" is read as a poem that embodies this fundamental polarity. The sonnet refers time and again to the borders and limitations of both the natural image it evokes and its own poetic properties. Simultaneously, it suggests the transgression of these limitations on both a formal (or structural) and a metaphorical level. As a poetological sonnet, "Mächtiges Überraschen" unifies the representation (of a natural event) with a reflection on representation as such. The announcement of a "new life" in the last stanza of the poem is thus read as an announcement of its own coming-into-being.

    This paper seeks to demonstrate the ways in which Bachmann's work constitutes a prime case for examining the scope and the boundaries of philological research. It does so by focusing on Bachmann‘s fragmentary and unfinished novel, "Das Buch Franza" [1965-1966], exploring the text and its author in an interdisciplinary light. Forming part of Bachmann's uncompleted "Todesarten"-Projekt, "Das Buch Franza" deals with the continuing legacy of fascism and its displaced forms in the post-war era. In its thematisation of the traumatic and necessarily belated after-effects of the Second World War and the Holocaust, Bachmann‘s text draws on various disciplines and discourses, namely geology, archaeology and psychoanalysis. I consider the ways in which the interdisciplinary ambitions of the text reflect Bachmann‘s struggle for a new form of representation, one that adequately mirrors the concerns of her society. Finally, drawing on Bachmann‘s own theoretical reflections on the field of literary study in her Frankfurt Lectures on poetics, I trace the ways in which the author's work repeatedly encourages us to adopt multiple disciplinary perspectives, as well as privileging literature with a utopian function that exceeds any generic or disciplinary boundaries.

    The conference paper interprets Spinoza's concept of “sola scriptura” as a reductio ad absurdum of historicalcritical approaches to text interpretation. It shows that despite Spinoza's emphasis on the revelatory function of scripture and despite his claim that there is only one method of reading it, he intently and distinctly undermines this very hermeneutics as unreliable and incompatible with both reason and truth. The text follows the central intuition that for Spinoza, this insuffiency of hermeneutics accounts for its political potential, as a means of uncoupling politics and theology.

  4. "Landschaft": Stichworte und Überlegungen zur Einleitung

    Erst ausgehend von ihrer Erfindung in der bildenden Kunst hielt die Landschaft Einzug in die Literatur; literarische Landschaftsdarstellungen im engeren Sinn finden sich gegenüber malerischen Landschaftsdarstellungen erst mit deutlicher Verzögerung, wenngleich sie auch literarische Vorläufer haben. Was man unter Landschaften in der Literatur alles verstehen sollte, mag umstritten sein. In jedem Fall liegt es nahe, literarische Landschafts-Texte mit bildkünstlerischen Darstellungen zu vergleichen.

  5. "Nichts ist widerlicher als eine sogenannte Dichterlesung." : deutsche Autorenlesungen zwischen Marketing und Selbstpräsentation

    Dichterlesungen boomen. Man muss nur in das Tagesangebot der Zeitungen schauen, man muss nur in Buchhandlungen gehen, in Volkshochschulen, in Stadtbüchereien: überall sieht man Plakate und Programme, die Lesungen zeitgenössischer Autoren anbieten. Das ist umso verwunderlicher, weil im Allgemeinen Dichterlesungen nicht allzu beliebt sind, auch bei vielen Autoren nicht. Das einschlägige Motto „Nichts ist widerlicher als eine sogenannte Dichterlesung“ stammt aus Thomas Bernhards Schimpfroman „Alte Meister“, in dem der 82jährige Musikkritiker Reger seinen typischen Wiener Schmäh über fast die gesamte österreichische Kunst, Literatur und Musik, in seitenlangen Monologen ausgießt.
