German-language literature of the Banat develops under specific historical circumstances amidst a multiethnic Region, in which the multiple social-political, religious and linguistic relations to Romanians, Hungarians, Serbs and Jews find their immediate expression. The beginning of the German-language writings of the Banat Swabians are under the aegis of the Austrian model, especially of the Viennese model. Here one mainly includes the extremely stimulating press and theater tradition of the Banat, which can still be remarked in the interwar period, and which created the conditions for the unfolding of a lively spiritual life. Johann Friedel born in Timișoara, an outstanding representative of Josephine epistolary satire, was considered on account of his novels and letters to be the founder of the local German-language writings by several scholars.
Using the example of the village novel Three Kilometers from the final phase of the Ceaușescu dictatorship, the article follows the discovery of memory, examining the image of the Banat village community, which is dominated by hopelessness, fear and thoughts of flight. The emptiness and the cold motif used at the end point to the dissolution of the Swabian village world. The Banat village is presented at the interface between real life reality and a landscape of memories.
The aim of this article is to elaborate on the nouns listed in the title based on selected vernacular records, which in a certain phrase, but also by themselves, express the meanings making troubles/difficulties and seeking excuses/evasions. First of all, Transylvanian Saxon and High German respectively the German colloquial language have these lexemes in common, as well as vernacular words that do not belong to this linguistic level. Furthermore, it should be clarified that these vernacular words are attested in different sound variants from case to case in the Rhenish, in the Palatine and in the Bavarian-Austrian vernaculars, in the same or similar meanings in corresponding vernacular dictionaries. Transylvanian Saxon proper vocabulary is represented by a borrowing from Latin and two borrowings from Romanian. The dialect documents presented in the article are taken from the Transylvanian-Saxon Dictionary, its archive, the North Transylvanian Dictionary as well as from dialect and specialist literature. The etymological explanations respectively the etymological considerations of the analyzed lexemes have been prepared mainly based on relevant specialist dictionaries.
The writer Otto Fritz Jickeli (1888-1960) turned to events of the 19th century in his unpublished story Die Kosakenbraut. The revolution of 1848 /49 forms the chronological axis for the events in the description, with their befor and after. The episodes do not lack the unusual moments that occur in times of revolutionary upheaval. As is well known, the Imperial Austrian troops were supported in their fight against Hungarian revolutionaries by the Tsarist Russian army, and the armies of the insurgents finally succumbed to this military alliance of the great powers. The changing fortunes of war, the events effecting private life are vividly presented, also with the help of a spontaneous love affair between a Cossack commander of the Russian army and a Transylvanian woman who, under problematic circumstances, becomes the „Cossack bride” and mother of a half-Cossack. It is both fluent and stimulating reading about the customs and moral concepts of the time, aprose work that testifies to the author’s expertise and also to this sense of humour.
Lange Zeit gab es in der deutschsprachigen Kinder- und Jugendliteraturkritik keine Unterscheidung zwischen phantastischen Erzählungen und Fantasy. Diese Gattungsdifferenzierung beginnt sich erst ab der Jahrtausendwende durchzusetzen. Betrachtet man das deutsche Textkorpus, das bis dahin global als Phantastik bezeichnet wurde, so lässt sich feststellen, dass der mittlerweile herausgearbeitete Unterschied zwischen phantastischen Erzählungen und Fantasy schon in den 1950er und 1960er Jahren zu erkennen ist. Sowohl die gattungstheoretischen Unterscheidungen als auch die Gattungsbegriffe haben jedoch erst um die Jahrtausendwende eine gewisse Festigkeit gewonnen.
Ein zentrales Anliegen dieser Arbeit ist es, die nicht-realistischen kinder- und jugendliterarischen Werke der Nachkriegsjahrzehnte im Lichte der jüngeren gattungstheoretischen Differenzierungen neu zu bewerten und ggf. zuzuordnen. Gefragt wird, ob in der deutschen Kinder- und Jugendliteratur der 1950er bis 1980er Jahre bereits Werke existieren, welche nach aktuellem Begriffsgebrauch als Fantasy zu bezeichnen sind. Ein dabei zu berücksichtigender Aspekt betrifft die Gattungsgeschichte, welche nicht mit der der englischer bzw. amerikanischer Kinder- und Jugendliteratur vergleichbar ist. Laut einer Definition von Ewers (2013) versuchte die deutsche Kinder- und Jugendliteraturwissenschaft lange Zeit, dem Genre Fantasy „beizukommen“, indem sie diese als ein Sub-Genre der Phantastik ansah. Hierin sieht er einen Irrweg. Sicherlich gibt es Parallelen zwischen phantastischer Erzählung und Fantasy, doch seien diese rein äußerlicher Natur.
Anhand der Definition von Ewers untersucht diese Arbeit, ab wann von Texten gesprochen werden kann, die dem jüngeren Verständnis von Fantasy entsprechen und welche kinder- und jugendliterarischen Werke nach diesem Erkenntnisstand hinzuzuzählen sind. Dabei liegt das Augenmerk auf der Bedeutung und Vorgeschichte von Fantasy-Literatur für den westlichen deutschsprachigen Raum. Methodisch wurde wie folgt vorgegangen: Ein Korpus aus kinder- und jugendliterarischen Texten wurde gebildet. Anschließend wurde dieser im Hinblick auf die in Ewers‘ Definitionsansatz genannten Charakteristika untersucht. Hieraus entwickelte sich der Gedanke, eine für die weiterführende Forschung hilfreichen Klassifizierung der phantastischen Kinder- und Jugendliteratur der Nachkriegszeit zu entwickeln, um den Stellenwert zeitgenössischer Fantasy verdeutlichen zu können.
This study aims to present the linguistic landscape of a transylvanian city, namely Mediaș, using the Linguistic Landscape method. It is investigated in which areas of the public space the languages of the historical national minorities are present. The corpus includes inscriptions from the public space that have been analysed and classified according to certain criteria.
In the context of the emergence of various online dictionaries and platforms that also address phraseological units, their usefulness is being questioned and their potential examined in order to illustrate new directions in the development of digital phraseography. The article shows special traits in the formation of lexicographical content in two selected online dictionaries, using the lemma “cat” as example.
One of the most memorable moments of Joe Biden’s inauguration as president of the USA was that of Amanda Gorman reciting her inaugural poem The Hill we Climb. The translation of this text led to a far-reaching controversy in the international media while at the same time raising a series of theoretical questions in the field of translation studies. The present paper intends to discuss certain theoretical issues such as the translator’s visibility and literary translation related to forms and relations of power by placing them in the context of the shift of theoretical paradigms in translation studies which started in the second half of the 20th century.
The present study shed some light on the socalled Türkenbüchlein (The Turks Booklet) by analyzing, in what extent, a literary work on the history, culture, and religion of the Turks a widely disseminated book in the 15th century, belonging to Georg from Hungary (also “Der Ungenannte Mühlbächer,” “Rumeser Student,” Captivus Septemcastrensis, c. 1422–3 July 1502), is still worth reading. Undoubtedly, it would be necessary to investigate what made the book so popular in the past and what could make it a bestseller today. The article reveals the story of the book`s creation and success, as well as, the multifaceted personality of the main character.
The article is devoted to a historical German settlement in present-day Slovakia, since the small German minority of the lumberjacks/woodcutters (Slovak. Huncokári) has received little attention. The urgency of the need for research is also pointed out, since there are only very few speakers of this dialect left. The article therefore informs about some background of the settlement history, the present state and about approaches for ethnological field research.
