    Abstract: "Der vorliegende Beitrag beschäftigt sich anhand der Philosophie von Theodor W. Adorno und Richard Rorty mit der Utopie in der Literatur. Zunächst wird dazu das berühmte Diktum von Adorno behandelt, das besagt, dass ein Gedicht nach Auschwitz zu schreiben barbarisch sei, und daran anschließend grundsätzlicher auf die utopische und gesellschaftskritische Bedeutung der Literatur in seiner Philosophie eingegangen. Im weiteren Verlauf wird die Literatur und ihre utopische Funktion im Denken Richard Rortys untersucht, um im nächsten Schritt die Unterschiede und Parallelen zwischen beiden Philosophen aufzeigen zu können und sich somit der Antwort auf die Frage anzunähern, ob Literatur etwas Utopisches vermitteln kann. Von entscheidender Bedeutung für die unterschiedlichen Einschätzungen der praktischen und theoretischen Interventionsmöglichkeiten der Literatur sind dabei die divergierenden Auffassungen der beiden Denker von Geschichte und Gesellschaft." (Autorenreferat)

    Abstract: In his early novel, Under the Greenwood Tree, Thomas Hardy attempts to show the readers how the inhabitants of a small village are repressed by the ideologies the dominant class or capitalism defines for them. The aim of these suppressive programs is to oppress the individuals by making them good and subordinate subjects. Althusser calls these ideologies created by the dominant class, Ideological State Apparatuses; however, in this novel one observes how some of the subjects try to revolt against these cruel rules by defining their own ideologies. One can also recognize that how the blatant break of these ideological programs by the revolutionary subject makes the subject look weird and eventually how he/she is alienated and marginalized by the society. On the other hand, the good subjects are made to believe that following these ideologies is usual and breaking of them is synonymous with interfering with the discipline and order of nature. Brought up in the Victorian age, Hardy un

    Abstract: Tennessee Williams, the modern American dramatist, had his own unique school of dramaturgy. The dramas which he depicted are populated by characters who are lonely, desperate, anxious, alienated, and in one word lost. They face challenges which they may overcome or not, through the choices they make. All these moods and conditions are clearly seen and explained in the theory of existentialism, so Williams' inspiration from the philosophy is seen. Most existential theorists provide fertile ground to cultivate Williams' works on. Kierkegaard, as the so-called founder of the philosophy, has a theory which is quite applied to Williams' dramaturgy that is telling on the life and mentality of the characters in his plays. In his theory Kierkegaard enumerates three levels of existence which are characterized by their own features and mentality: they are respectively: aesthetic, ethical, and religious. The aesthetic is characterized by the pain and pleasure of the moment, that is, the aesth
