The analysis of the relationship between Word and God in the poetry of Paul Celan is obviously the purpose of this study. The starting point of my reflections is representing the prologue of the Gospel according to John 1:1: „In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” The question is: does the loss of Word at the logical-semantic level implicitly conduct to the loss of God in Celan’s poems?
The paper analyzes the handling of sources in the historic and ethnographic literature about Roma. In it a tradition of copying can be found without sufficient acknowledgement of sources, the unchecked assumpti on of foreign statements and inadmissible generalization. These characteristic features are integrated into a pejorative structure. The historic and ethnographic literature is characterized by a moralizing condemnation of those referred to as „gypsies” whereas the social realities remain largely hidden. It is based on only a few sources, in which statements about Roma in the Transylvanian area take a key role. Texts from the 17th to the 19th century are referred to in context of this aspect and are analyzed on their contents.
The poetic oeuvre of Franz Hodjak takes an intermediate position between modernism and postmodernism. While his early works show the influence of German modernist poetry (Georg Trakl, Bertolt Brecht), the poems of his last volume, entitled Die Faszination eines Tages, den es nicht gibt (2008), show most clearly the approach to postmodernism. The ironic, sarcastic tone, the robust and acrobatic language as well as the rebellion against all conventional poetical structures are amplified in these poems. Besides ontological questions regarding identity, the borderline status between two worlds – neither of them a home –, also the banalities of everyday life are treated sometimes in an elated tone, sometimes almost parodied.
This essay deals with the intertextuality of the 21st century novel Zaira by the Swiss-Romanian writer Cătălin Dorian Florescu and the 21th century tragedy Zaire by Voltaire. It is analysed whether the name of the female protagonist Zaira is used by Florescu by accident or whether he refers to Voltaire. Furthermore, the differences between East and West brought up in the novel and the tragedy are examined. There are some similarities to be found as to the topoi of the selling respectively buying of women or fate deciding about the life of the protagonists. However, in the author’s opinion they don`t justify the assumption that Florescu knows the text by Voltaire or even uses it in his own novel.
In the 1930s and 40s the leading political figures of the German minority in Romania embraced a pro-fascist attitude. Therefore, after the WWII, Germans had to suffer expropriation, deportation and privation of civil rights. Since 1949 they were permitted to rebuild their cultural life which – according to the communist paradigm – had to be „Marxist in its content and national in shape“. In 1956 an Institute for Social Studies and the Humanities of the Romanian Academy was created in Sibiu in order to continue important scientific projects of the German minority, and since 1959 the review Forschungen zur Volks- und Landeskunde appeared as a tribune of Transylvanian studies. Although the editorial staff had to make concessions to the communist regime, its members tried to keep high scientific standards. Therefore the review Forschungen, the sole scientific periodical of the Romanian Academy published in German, was one of the most important reviews of the time.
Der Aufsatz analysiert die Sudelbuchaufzeichnung J 528 als Modellstudie zu grundsätzlichen aufklärerischen Fragen und als Beispiel für Lichtenbergs besonderes Denk- und Schreibverfahren in drei Hinsichten: 1) in epistemologischer beleuchtet Lichtenbergs Text das Verhältnis der Vernunft zu anthropologischen und sozialen Faktoren und gibt eine Art Genealogie des Rationalen; 2) in methodologischer und poetologischer ist der Text ein Paradigma für den Transfer wissenschaftlicher Methodik auf nichtwissenschaftliche Gegenstände; 3) in rezeptionstheoretischer findet diese Poetik ihr Pendant in einer von Lichtenberg ebenfalls bedachten aktiven, gegenstandgenerierenden Lektüre. In anderen Notaten in den Sudelbüchern ist er wahrnehmungsphysiologischen und -psychologischen Problemen auf der Spur, die die Gestalttheorie des 20. Jahrhunderts beschäftigen werden. Kritisch gegen selbstverschuldete Unmündigkeit wie gegen Rationalismus betreibt er Aufklärung über Aufklärung.
„Der rechte Weg geht über Steine” : zur romantischen Dimension der Lyrik von Frida Binder-Radler
(2010)
In order to argue my hypothesis of the romantic dimension of poetry written by Frida Binder-Radler, a very little known Romanian-German author (1908-1986), better known as „poetess of the Saxon world”, I am referring to the poems of the author edited 2006 by her son Wolfgang Binder in Augsburg under the title Licht ins Dunkel (second enlarged edition). The volume contains fifty poems of which the first twenty-one were written in the German language, the other twenty-nine poems were translated from Transylvanian-Saxon dialect into German, most of them by the author herself, and published 1947 in the volume Gedichte. The idea of infinity that characterises romantic poetry, expressing itself as longing („Sehnsucht”) for a lost paradise, justifies the poems of love of Frida Binder-Radler. The elements of nature (flowers and birds, clouds and fog, moon, night and shadow), the melancholic atmosphere of her poems, but also the vivid imagery of her poetic language, its simplicity without being simple are diagnosed and interpreted as elements of a romantic-poetical arsenal.
In den letzten Jahren hat es sich durch die Globalisierung bemerkbar gemacht, dass heute die Grenzen zwischen verschiedenen Wissenschaftszweigen sowie Literatur, Kultur und Politik aufgehoben wurden. Die Globalisierung verursachte daher eine unaufhörliche Ausweitung der zwischenmenschlichen Beziehungen. Unter dem Lichte des oben angeführten verdichteten sozialen Beeinflussungsprozesses erreicht der Zeitmensch eine neue d.h. zeitgemäße Wahrnehmungswelt, die zur Globalisierung parallel lief. In diesem Zusammenhang habe ich die inhaltlichen Gemeinsamkeiten der problematischen Seelenzustände in Bezug auf Individualproblematik der betreffenden Texte „Ist Es Eine Komödie Ist Es Eine Tragödie?“ von Th. Bernhard (1931-1989) und „Die Oper Auf Der Strasse“ von S.K. Aksal (1920-1993) in die Hand genommen. Das Ziel des Beitrags ist es, die sinnlosen und problematischen Lebensabschnitte in den oben genannten Kurzgeschichten aus der Sicht des fähigen und talentierten Lesers zustande zu bringen und erst durch die interkulturellen Zusammenhänge die gemeinsamen Menschen- und Zeitfragen durch die kritische Lektüre der Texte dem Leser nahe zu bringen. Meine Arbeitsmethode ist eben deswegen Leserorientierte, psychoanalytische Annäherung und Komparatistik als Untersuchungsform.
[E]ine Interpretation der Erzählung aus psychoanalytischem Blickwinkel […], die auf Texte und Theoriemodelle Freuds rekurriert, die ungefähr im selben Zeitraum wie Döblins Erzählung entstanden sind und die mit ihren eigenen Mitteln und eigenen Kategorien die damaligen gesellschaftlichen Beziehungsmuster, intrapsychischen Befindlichkeiten und kulturelle Semantik ebenfalls widerspiegeln.
