    "This volume presents a collection of papers from the 1st edition of the International Conference for Young Philological Researchers on New Methodological Directions and Perspectives in Literary and Linguistic Studies, held at the "Lucian Blaga" University of Sibiu, Romania, in May 2020. In thirteen selected papers, authors have tackled Otherness in terms of Representations of the Other; Grammars of Otherness; Otherness in Literature; Discourses on Self/Other; Voices, Arts and Metaphors of Self and Other; Sameness and Otherness; Otherness in Education; (In)(di)visibility and Translatability of Otherness, etc. The volume spans a variety of fields, from linguistics, cultural theory, philosophy to literature, psychology and art, and each is concerned with not only otherness but also with representation. The theme of representation is also timely, as it pervades modern discourse in a variety of ways. The term is ambiguous, implying a substitution for, a replacement for, a speaking for (or in place of), or even a recast portrayal of a notion, person, or even community. Each of the notions of representation is addressed in some form in these thirteen contributions, which cover not just academic disciplines but also span (inter)national boundaries, time periods, and forms of artistic expression"--

    The "other" is a topic of great interest within and across contemporary photographic practice and theory, yet it remains neglected outside the now well-established field of postcolonial studies. This volume brings together photography and written essays that relate to aspects of otherness and visual work. Presented together, the images and critical writings work in concert to construct a new social perspective on questions of otherness and alterity and to highlight photography as a form of critical practice. In a departure from existing conceptions of otherness in postcolonial discourse, 'Photography as Critical Practice' places emphasis on the human condition not as a liberal concept, but as something formed and framed by a broader dimension of social, sexual, and cultural otherness. In this way, the book provides a fascinating new vista on the otherness of photography

    "What, exactly, did tea, sugar, and opium mean in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Britain? Alimentary Orientalism reassesses the politics of Orientalist representation by examining the contentious debates surrounding these exotic, recently popularized, and literally consumable things. It suggests that the interwoven discourses sparked by these commodities transformed the period's literary Orientalism and created surprisingly self-reflexive ways through which British writers encountered and imagined cultural otherness. Tracing exotic ingestion as a motif across a range of authors and genres, the book considers how, why, and whither writers used scenes of eating, drinking, and smoking to diagnose and interrogate their own solipsistic constructions of the Orient. As national and cultural boundaries became increasingly porous, such self-reflexive inquiries into the nature and role of otherness provided an unexpected avenue for British imperial subjectivity to emerge and coalesce"--

    Description based on online resource; title from PDF title page (publisher’s Web site, viewed September 10 2015)

    Postspektakuläres Theater - damit ist nicht etwa ein Theater in einer Gesellschaft nach dem Spektakel gemeint. Vielmehr schlägt diese Studie die Bezeichnung für solche Formen der zeitgenössischen szenischen Kunst vor, die das kritische Potential der Aufführung vor dem Hintergrund veränderter Bedingungen des Spektakels nicht mehr in der Betonung von Unmittelbarkeit suchen, sondern es stattdessen anhand eines Ausspielens von Mittelbarkeit entfalten. Während Überlegungen zur Alterität der Aufführung in der Regel die Ko-Präsenz von Akteuren und Zuschauern voraussetzen und deren Beziehungen als unmittelbare denken, entwirft diese Studie einen anderen Begriff der Aufführung und zeigt, dass deren Alterität stets eine vermittelnde dritte Instanz involviert. Aus eingehenden Analysen zahlreicher Arbeiten so unterschiedlicher Künstler_innen wie Rabih Mroué, Mette Ingvartsen, Heiner Goebbels, Erwin Wurm u.a. werden weitreichende theoretische Konsequenzen gezogen, die über die Theaterwissenschaft hinaus auch allgemein kunstwissenschaftliche Fragestellungen und solche der philosophischen Ästhetik betreffen. So wird beispielsweise das Verhältnis von Aufführungs-, Inszenierungs- und Werkbegriff neu bestimmt sowie entscheidend zur Diskussion um die Entgrenzung der Künste und zur Beschreibung ästhetischer Erfahrung beigetragen

    'Mendelssohn, Goethe, and the Walpurgis Night' addresses tolerance and acceptance in the face of cultural, political, and religious strife. Its point of departure is the Walpurgis Night. The Night, also known as Beltane or May Eve, was supposedly an annual witches' Sabbath that centered around the Brocken, the highest peak of the Harz Mountains. After exploring how a notoriously pagan celebration came to be named after the Christian missionary St. Walpurgis (ca. 710-79), John Michael Cooper discusses the Night's treatments in several closely interwoven works by Goethe and Mendelssohn. His book situates those works in their immediate personal and professional contexts, as well as among treatments by a wide array of other artists, philosophers, and political thinkers, including Voltaire, Lessing, Shelley, Heine, Delacroix, and Berlioz. In an age of decisive political and religious conflict, Walpurgis Night became a heathen muse: a source of spiritual inspiration that was neither specifically Christian, nor Jewish, nor Muslim. And Mendelssohn's and Goethe's engagements with it offer new insights into its role in European cultural history, as well as into issues of political, religious, and social identity - and the relations between cultural groups - in today's world. John Michael Cooper is professor of music at Southwestern University and author of 'Mendelssohn's "Italian" Symphony' (Oxford University Press)

    Until now, the image of the Amazons that prevailed in classical antiquity has been predominantly interpreted within the framework of gender discourse. However, Amazons have been paradigmatic in all literary and pictorial genres and through all epochs of antiquity as representatives of various contrast in myth and history, including the familiar and alien, self and other, as well as settled and nomadic. As such, they are a part of very generalized alternative worlds in which constructions of the self and images of the other are co-mingled

    'Mendelssohn, Goethe, and the Walpurgis Night' addresses tolerance and acceptance in the face of cultural, political, and religious strife. Its point of departure is the Walpurgis Night. The Night, also known as Beltane or May Eve, was supposedly an annual witches' Sabbath that centered around the Brocken, the highest peak of the Harz Mountains. After exploring how a notoriously pagan celebration came to be named after the Christian missionary St. Walpurgis (ca. 710-79), John Michael Cooper discusses the Night's treatments in several closely interwoven works by Goethe and Mendelssohn. His book situates those works in their immediate personal and professional contexts, as well as among treatments by a wide array of other artists, philosophers, and political thinkers, including Voltaire, Lessing, Shelley, Heine, Delacroix, and Berlioz. In an age of decisive political and religious conflict, Walpurgis Night became a heathen muse: a source of spiritual inspiration that was neither specifically Christian, nor Jewish, nor Muslim. And Mendelssohn's and Goethe's engagements with it offer new insights into its role in European cultural history, as well as into issues of political, religious, and social identity - and the relations between cultural groups - in today's world. John Michael Cooper is professor of music at Southwestern University and author of 'Mendelssohn's "Italian" Symphony' (Oxford University Press)

    "This volume presents a collection of papers from the 1st edition of the International Conference for Young Philological Researchers on New Methodological Directions and Perspectives in Literary and Linguistic Studies, held at the "Lucian Blaga" University of Sibiu, Romania, in May 2020. In thirteen selected papers, authors have tackled Otherness in terms of Representations of the Other; Grammars of Otherness; Otherness in Literature; Discourses on Self/Other; Voices, Arts and Metaphors of Self and Other; Sameness and Otherness; Otherness in Education; (In)(di)visibility and Translatability of Otherness, etc. The volume spans a variety of fields, from linguistics, cultural theory, philosophy to literature, psychology and art, and each is concerned with not only otherness but also with representation. The theme of representation is also timely, as it pervades modern discourse in a variety of ways. The term is ambiguous, implying a substitution for, a replacement for, a speaking for (or in place of), or even a recast portrayal of a notion, person, or even community. Each of the notions of representation is addressed in some form in these thirteen contributions, which cover not just academic disciplines but also span (inter)national boundaries, time periods, and forms of artistic expression"--

    Reconnu depuis longtemps comme un des grands écrivains exemplaires de notre modernité, André du Bouchet nous lègue une oeuvre richement diversifiée, dense et transparente à la fois, transgénérique à bien des égards mais incontestablement poiétique dans sa conception et sa pratique. La présente étude cherche à privilégier les nombreux textes - essais, traductions, notes de carnet et autres accompagnements - où s'enlacent et s'entretissent une méditation critique profondément sentie, parfois obsessivement vécue, et une écriture poétique étonnamment originale visant à installer naturellement, mais avec discrétion, ses propres spécificités, tout en creusant selon des angles d'approches très variés celles des grands auteurs et artistes constamment et librement interrogés. Ecriture d'altérité et de non-différence, d'automultiplication et d'harmonisation intersubjective, celle qu'on analyse ici - avec ses textes consacrés à Baudelaire ou Hugo, Tal-Coat ou Segers, Mandelstam ou Joyce, Poussin ou Hölderlin - ne cesse de révéler cet instinct de généreuse et fraternelle affinité qui, au coeur des brillantes explorations que voue le moi à son être-dans-le-monde, tisse son réseau de résonances subtiles et sûres.

    By recasting instances of 'German' cultural production around the turns of centuries - 1800, 1900, 2000 - the essays in this volume examine the role that color has played in perceiving and representing ethnic difference. In innovative essays, literary scholars, historians, anthropologists and art historians support an overarching thesis: that the 'origins' of a modern, 'ethnic' imagination, inscribe patterns of seeing, whereas more recent developments involve processes of de-colorization and metaphorization. By preserving the difference in disciplinary approaches, methods and writing styles, the volume presents a genuinely interdisciplinary approach to German Studies, and is therefore of interest to Germanists, as well as to all others engaged in the study and scholarship of German Culture. Contributors: Christine Achinger, Nana Badenberg, Helen Cafferty, Fatima El-Tayeb, Gudrun Hentges, Uli Linke, Andreas Michel, Thomas Miller, Daniel Purdy, Assenka Oksiloff, Wendy Sutherland, Birgit Tautz. Der Band untersucht die Rolle der Farbe in Prozessen der Wahrnehmung und Darstellung ethnischer Unterschiede in der deutschsprachigen Kultur an drei Jahrhundertwenden: 1800, 1900, 2000. Die interdisziplinären Essays von Literaturwissenschaftlern, Historikern, Anthropologen und Kunsthistorikern bieten Lesarten, die sich auf vielfältige Phänomene beziehen und die These unterstützen, daß das Ethnische zunächst überwiegend visuell vorgestellt und versprachlicht wurde, bevor es einer zunehmenden Metaphorisierung und "Entfärbung" unterlag. Die angebotenen Deutungsmuster repräsentieren keine kohärente Wahrheit; vielmehr sind sie als Symptome unterschiedlicher Wissensformationen, d.h. unterschiedlicher Disziplinen, Methoden und "Schreibverfahren", zu sehen. Mit Beiträgen von Achinger, Badenberg, Cafferty, El-Tayeb, Hentges, Linke, Michel, Miller, Purdy, Oksiloff, Sutherland, Tautz.

    In the last decades, there has been an intense debate on the relationship between literature and historiography, often linked to the debate between "empiricists" and "postmodernists". The aim of this collective work is to address this debate, and to search for new ways of thinking and encountering the past. The key note for the book comes from Hayden White, one of the leading academic figures, whose role in launching the contemporary history/literature debate has been crucial. It is followed by three critical readings of his work, all suggesting new ways to apply or challenge his views. In other chapters of the book, history / literature question is then addressed from three points of view: narrativity, history as literature, and literature as history. Tropes for the Past is an ideal introduction to the literature/historiography debate and Hayden White's role in it. It will be of use for all students and scholars in the philosophy of history and in historically oriented literary, cultural, and social studies

    Visions of Alterity: Representation in the Works of John Banville offers detailed and original readings of the work of the Irish author John Banville, one of the foremost figures in contemporary European literature. It investigates one of the fundamental concerns of Banville's novels: mediating the gap between subject and object or self and world in representation. By drawing on the rich history of the problem of representation in literature, philosophy and literary theory, this study provides a thorough insight into the rich philosophical and intertextual dimension of Banville's fiction. In close textual analyses of Banville's most important novels, it maps out a thematic development that moves from an interest in the epistemological and aesthetic representation of the world in scientific theories, over a concern with the ethical dimension of representations, to an exploration of self-representation and identity. What remains constant throughout these different perspectives is the disruption of representations by brief but haunting glimpses of otherness. In tracing these different visions of alterity in Banville's solipsistic literary world, this study offers a better understanding of his insistent and thought-provoking exploration of what it means to be human
