Seit einigen Jahren ist nicht nur eine Oszillationsbewegung zwischen Theoriekonjunktur und Theorieabgesang zu beobachten, sondern auch die stete Klage über Theoriemoden zu hören, die dazu führen, dass bestimmte Schlüsselbegriffe inflationär gebraucht – und damit gleichsam ver-braucht werden. Schlüsselbegriffe, die weniger für ein konzises Forschungsprogramm, sondern eher für ein Bündel von Herangehensweisen und Aufmerksamkeitsfokussierungen stehen: Zeichen, Diskurs, Differenz, System, Medium, Performanz, Körper, Materialität fungieren als "Travelling Concepts'', die den Prozess der Theoriebildung in Gang halten, dabei allerdings auch deutliche Verschleißspuren davontragen – so wie, um im Bild zu bleiben: der Reisekoffer. Freilich treten nicht nur Begriffe, sondern (Blumenberg lässt grüßen!) sehr häufig auch Metaphern die Reise auf den verschlungenen Wegen der Kulturforschung an. Diese Metaphern sind mehr als Vehikel, sie sind Motoren, genauer gesagt: Katalysatoren von Theoriebildungsprozessen, durch die sowohl Gegenstandsbereiche als auch Herangehensweisen (und damit verbunden: Fragestellungen) modelliert werden. Zwei dieser Metaphern möchte ich im folgenden Untersuchen: Hybridität und Aufpfropfung.
This article adresses one function of dialects showing their importance of controlling everyday language. On the example of Low German, a vernacular spoken in Northern Germany, the function of identity is shown and explained. Firstly the understanding of biography is given, followed by an overview about the research undertaking about biographical studies in linguistics, especially in dialectology and Low German philology. The main part concerns the exemplary analysis of an interview of a dialect speaker. The aim of the article is to show in detail the identity function of dialects and the chances qualitive methods can contribute to linguistic researches.
"Nur die oberflächlichen Eigenschaften dauern", so Oskar Wilde in seinen 'Sätzen und Lehren zum Gebrauch der Jugend': "Des Menschen tieferes Wesen ist bald entlarvt". Ausgehend von der These, dass der Poetik Jelineks ein "Lob der Oberfläche" eingeschrieben ist, möchte ich im folgenden die Rolle der Mode beleuchten, und zwar nicht nur als Oberflächenphänomen, sondern auch als Übergangsphänomen, das an der Schwelle zwischen Oberfläche und Tiefe in Erscheinung tritt.
Wir möchten im folgenden den Versuch unternehmen, das zu skizzieren, was wir die 'philologische Frage' nennen. Darunter verstehen wir die Frage nach dem epistemischen Status philologischer Theorie und der daraus resultierenden Praxis: Auf welche philologischen Traditionen und theoretischen Prämissen nehmen die hier versammelten Texte Bezug, in welchem Kontext stehen sie? Auf welche Ziele wird die philologische Tätigkeit hin ausgerichtet – wie wird das 'Erkenntnisinteresse' der Philologie definiert? Welches Autorschaftskonzept und welches Textverständnis werden zugrunde gelegt? Der Ausgangspunkt all dieser Fragen ist die etymologische Bedeutung des Begriffs „philologia“, gefasst als 'Liebe zum Wort'. Der Philologe ist demgemäß ein Wort-Liebhaber. Doch was heißt hier 'Liebe'? Und was ist überhaupt ein Wort?
Islamophobia has arisen following to the event on 11 of September 2001 in Christian world. Remembering first reaction, all “Muslim” world was accused and new “Crusades” were on agenda. Concept and concept pairs of “Muslim Radicalism” “Muslim Terror” “Radical/Extreme Islam” “Radicalism” “Islamic” in pressor media after September 11 attacks and first shock. The aim was to differentiate “Islam” and terrorist who lost their identity via İslam. Representatives of the muslim world declared that these terrorist never represented Islam in any manner. The declaration was mutual and right. Despite mutual constructive efforts, due to discussion appeared after attacks, disintergration and polarization occured among believers of two monotheistic religions. In my opinion, regardless of place of birth, poets and writers who are philosopher, have specific issues national and local or world issues which they share, communicate and have information exchange on. Two main means of communication are philosophy and literature. The aim of the current paper is to discuss philosophic information included in “Avicenna and the Aristotelic Left” (Suhrkamp Verl.) by Ernst Bloch who lived in Tübingen released in 1963 and philosophic foundations of literature theory by Bertolt Brecht. My aim is to hope to declare that (Far) East and West have more in common compared to differences within limits of time and place given.
In order to disseminate the information in newspapers, one of the instruments that increase sharing of knowledge in the globalizing world, at the international level, it is obligatory to translate texts from the source language to other languages. However, there are some criteria taken into account in order to transfer the information to a large target audience during the preparation of news. These criteria should also be taken into consideration while translating this kind of texts. Especially in the translation of news texts that are oriented towards the target audience and that address the knowledge/ interest levels of the target audience, the decisions and approaches of the translator are determining. In this study, the discussion will be based on what kind of knowledge the journalists/ translators who translate news texts should have. In this context, an analysis will be carried out regarding which factors have had a determining role in the translation of news in Turkish as source language into German to be used in a German newspaper.
Politeness has become a key qualification in intercultural competence and didactics. The paper presents parts of an empirical research of the development and shaping of verbal politeness in critical incidents investigating the way German and Turkish students of the German language deal with criticism and complimenting. The findings show that Turkish students of German as a foreign language avoid direct criticism and prefer manners considered to be polite in German. Complimenting is an expression of their own positive feelings and acts as “messages about oneself”, whereas the German students prefer “meritorious praise” referring to merits. The discriminating effects of migration within the Turkish students are smaller than expected perhaps because of the increase of transcultural knowledge. This should give new ideas for the didactics of politeness.
This study examines the theory and practice of Kussmauls creative translating idea during the translating process of metaphors by Lakoff and Johnson. Creative translating could be functionalized for the process of literary translation. In this case it will be a vehicle for problem solving by the translation of the holistically metaphors defined by Lakoff/Johnson. These kinds of metaphors determine our live and are significant points of the language we use every day. Mostly they are very important for the receptively understanding of literary language and aims of the author and his text.
Over the last years history has become an important issue in ‚Germanturkish’ literature. The question is which possibilities are created to take part in the history of a country under the conditions of migration. Analysing historical writing in Emine Sevgi Özdamar’s novel “The Bridge of the Golden Horn”, this article concentrates on three aspects: First, the description of places in Berlin from a migrant’s viewpoint. Second, to discover Berlin as the entrance into German pre-wall-falling-history. Third, the narrator as a brilliant describer of German society in an everyday life microcosmos.
The learning outcomes of teaching translation in German departments at Moroccan universities have hardly been the subject of scientific debate among translation teachers and researchers alike. The actual translation course can only train students to pursue a career in intercultural communication and not in translation, because the teaching material and methodology don’t reflect the training objectives. The thesis of this paper is that the teaching of translation in the departments of German studies in Moroccan universities, as it stands, can have professional rather than academic goals, if the university pedagogical and technical conditions change and if the constraints projected in section 4 and the lines proposed in the same section below are followed.
