Inszenierungen von Fremdheit
(2001)
Tagungsbericht zum Internationalen Symposium vom 25.-27. Februar 2000 in Kyoto
Das internationale Symposium 'Inszenierungen von Fremdheit', das vom Deutschen Institut für Japanstudien, der Japanischen Gesellschaft für Deutschstudien und dem Goethe-Institut Kansai in Kyoto gemeinsam veranstaltet wurde, führte vom 25.-27. Februar 2000 in Kyoto sowohl Literatur- als auch Kulturwissenschaftler, Japanologen und Anthropologen aus Deutschland, Japan, Hawaii, Korea und der Schweiz zusammen. Den verschiedenen Vorträgen lagen aus den jeweiligen fachspezifischen Perspektiven nicht nur unterschiedliche Inszenierungsbegriffe zugrunde, sondern auch eine je eigene semantische Bestimmung des Begriffs "Fremdheit".
Tagungsbericht der International Conference on Dostoevsky 2000 in Japan, Chiba University, 22.-25. August 2000
Zentraler Themenbereich, auch der Sektionen "Doppelgänger", "Charisma" und "Zufällige Familie", war durchgehend der für das literarische und publizistische Werk Dostojewskijs typische Konflikt zwischen nationalem Bewusstsein und dem universellen Ideal des von diesem Werk beanspruchten Humanismus.
Nachruf
(2001)
Die DGAVL hat eines ihrer prominenten Mitglieder verloren - Ulrich Schulz-Buschhaus, Professor für Romanistik an der Karl-Franzens-Universität Graz. Ulrich Schulz-Buschhaus war Romanist mit deutlichen Schwerpunkten sowohl in der französischen als auch in der spanischen und italienischen Literaturgeschichte, verstand sich aber nachdrücklich auch als Komparatist, zu der ihn nicht nur die mehrsprachliche Tradition seines Faches prädestinierte, sondern auch sein Interesse für Formenlehre, Methodologie, für die Kanonproblematik und vor allem sein Engagement für die Zukunft der Literaturwissenschaft.
The "Death of Literature" will be doubted as an affirmation, but, on the other hand, it will be analysed as an effective and dynamic theme in the history of literature. Considering the "Advent of new Medias" (J. Hörisch) and with reference to J. Derrida it will be demonstrated that literature since antiguity is orientated on an not only phonetical, but also optical 'Imaginary', and it is always playing with the auto-transgressing of itself- and that consequently the audio-visual medias represent a very special challenge as they are a kind of 'fulfilling' of these intraliterary tendencies. Modern German-speaking authors react upon this new "anxiety of influence" (H. Bloom) in at least five ways: by retreating in the 'essence' of literature (askesis), by adopting various technical elements (adaptio), by historizing and 'outstripping' the medias (reductio), by pretending an anticipation of the innovations of the medias by the literature (anticipatio) and last but not least with a fight under equals, using all means (agon).
This essay aimes to introduce the German-Jewish Poet Rose Ausländer (1901-1988) to the literary public of Brasil, where she has not been translated and is therefore nearly unknown. Proceeding from the translation of 12 paradigmatic poems, the crucial periods of her life, poetry and poetology are outlined: As her famous college Paul Celan, she was born in Czernovitch this multicultural town of the Austrian-Hungarian monarchy. An important number of her poems are the result of the intimate relation with her country. The early death of her father and the resulting poverty led her to try to find a new home in New York, but she came back in the period of beginning National Socialism and suffered the persecution of Holocaust. After long years of travelling, she settled down in a Düsseldorf home for elderly Jewish people. The central themes in her poetry are: the loss of country, the Holocaust, and survival in a kind of spiritual country, that is: language and writing.
Stefan Zweig was the only important German writer who chose Brazil for his exile in the 1940s. Before he committed suicide in Brazil, he wrote the frequently cited and more frequently criticized book in which Brazil is called the land of the future. But in Brazil he also finished another book, 'Die Welt von Gestern', a book of memories, an account of the world from which Zweig came, a work of historic, cultural and political relevance, which was immediately published in Spanish (Argentine) and Portuguese (Brazilian) translations. When compared with the German original, these translations contain significant cuts and modifications, which can be understood as interventions of some kind of censorship, and which are prejudicial to the political brisance of the book.
