    Klappentext: Warum noch Dantes 'Divina Commedia', Summa des Mittelalters und katholisch-christliches Heilsepos, in einem sich als vollständig säkularisiert begreifenden Literatursystem? Die Studie zeigt, wie die Autoren des Spätrealismus die fragmentarische Aneignung von Dantes Werk und die säkulare Replik auf diesen in den Vordergrund stellen. Der Rekurs auf Dante avanciert zum Spiel mit scholastischen Utopien und zum Metacode einer sich selbst verzehrenden bürgerlichen Gesellschaft. Mit gleichzeitigem Bezug auf außerliterarische Wissenssysteme legt das Buch die ungebrochene Produktivität der dantesk-christlichen Raumdarstellungen und die poetisch-realistische Nacherzählung der grenzüberschreitenden Lebenswanderung durch die drei Jenseitsreiche offen. Klappentext engl.: Why is Dante's Divine Comedy, summa of the Middle Ages and a Catholic-Christian epic of salvation, still relevant in a literary system that sees itself as completely secularised? This study shows how the authors of late German realism focus on the fragmentary appropriation of Dante’s work and the secular response to it. The recourse to Dante advances towards playing with scholastic utopias and becomes a meta code of a self-consuming bourgeois society. With simultaneous references to extra-literary systems of knowledge, this book exposes the unbroken productivity of Dante’s Christian representations of space and the poetic–realist retelling of life’s transgressive wanderings through the three realms beyond our own.

    In der Osterwoche 1300 steigt Dante hinab in den Abgrund des Inferno, über den Läuterungsberg zum irdischen Paradies und wird durch die Himmelssphären endlich bis in den Lichthimmel zur Anschauung Gottes geführt. Der ethische und spirituelle Gehalt dieser exemplarisch vollzogenen Umkehr und Heimkehr ist verwoben in eine nicht abbrechende Folge sinnfälliger Szenen. Deshalb fasziniert dieses Werk noch heute. In lebendig geschauten Begegnungen mit Gestalten aus Mythos und Geschichte, noch mehr aber mit Männern und Frauen aus des Dichters engerem und weiterem Umfeld setzt sich Dante mit der Kirche, dem Staat, der Gesellschaft seiner Zeit, dem zeitlichen Schicksal der Menschen und ihrer ewigen Bestimmung auseinander. Bernhard Christs Übertragung und Erläuterung der Commedia in ungebundener Form eröffnet uns einen neuen Zugang zu ihrem Reichtum und ihrer Tiefe und lässt uns ihre dichterische Schönheit erahnen.

    Das schreibende Ich prägt formal wie thematisch die literarische Entwicklung der letzten Jahre. Seit der Jahrtausendwende hat die Produktion autobiographischer und autofiktionaler Literatur insbesondere auf dem skandinavischen Buchmarkt erheblich zugenommen. Obwohl (noch) kein kritischer Konsens besteht, was der Begriff Autofiktion genau bezeichnet, ist das Changieren zwischen Fakt und Fiktion im autobiographischen Schreiben zu einer der beliebtesten literarischen Strategien im zeitgenössischen Erzählen avanciert. Die literaturwissenschaftliche Forschung zur Autofiktion ist im Zuge dessen auf diesen Trend aufgesprungen und insbesondere nach der Veröffentlichung von Karl Ove Knausgårds Romanprojekt Min kamp (2009–2011) sind die literaturwissenschaftlichen Diskussionen zu Autofiktion und literarischer Selbstdarstellung in Skandinavien deutlich angestiegen. Die literaturwissenschaftlichen Beiträge kreisen im weiteren Sinne um die dichotomischen Beziehungen von Fakt vs. Fiktion, Roman vs. Autobiographie sowie um die Inszenierung der Autor*innen in der literarischen Öffentlichkeit. Dabei ist autofiktionales Schreiben als konkrete erzählerische Praxis betrachtet in den Hintergrund gerückt, weshalb in dieser Arbeit der Versuch gemacht wird, die Fragen nach den literarischen Verfahren innerhalb dieser Texte in den Vordergrund zu stellen. Mit Ausgangspunkt in Texten von August Strindberg, Maja Lundgren, Karl Ove Knausgaard und Björn Rasmussen wird in dieser Arbeit Spezifika einer autofiktionalen Erzählpraxis herausgearbeitet, in welcher die Autorin oder der Autor in erster Linie einen narrativen Autoritätsanspruch über ihren bzw. seinen autobiographischen Text erhebt und hierdurch in der Bestrebung, die autobiographische Wirklichkeit zu schreiben, die Grenze zwischen Wirklichkeit und Literatur und somit zwischen Leben und Text transzendiert ; Since the turn of the Millennium there has been a remarkable increase in the production of autobiographical and autofictional literature in Scandinavia. While there is (still) no ...

    "Ulysses, Dante, and Other Stories" presents a unique form of creative scholarship. It employs Dante's late medieval take on Ulysses and his tragic pursuit of 'virtue and knowledge' as a prism that refracts an ancient myth of journey and return into a modern story of discovery and nostalgia. Working notes, fragments from Ulysses' many stories, personal memories, illuminations, and rewritings combine to form a new chain of narratives about the desire to create, the art of travelling, and the will of self-reinvention.

    Vor uns liegt ein Kupferstich auf Papier: er misst 27,5 cm in der Höhe und 20 cm in der Breite, ein handlich-mobiles, druckgraphisches Objekt also. Am unteren Rand, innerhalb des von feinen Linien markierten Druckrahmens der Platte, stehen die drei Signaturen der an der Produktion des Blatts Beteiligten: "L.Cigoli Florent. figuravit. Cornelius Galle sculpsit. C.Galle excudit", entwerfender Florentiner Künstler ("figuravit"), Kupferstecher ("sculpsit") und Verleger ("excudit"). Das Blatt befindet sich heute im Amsterdamer Rijksmuseum. Ein geringfügig kleinerer, beschnittener Druck (26,2 cm × 19,3 cm) im British Museum in London trägt am unteren Rand nur die Marke des Verlegers aus Nürnberg: "B. Caimax excudit". Der in Florenz und Rom aktive Maler Ludovico Cigoli (1559–1613) hatte um 1595, wohl in Florenz, Zeichnungen als Vorlage für den Stich angefertigt. Er greift mit seiner Teufelsfigur eine Figuration Giovanni Stradanos von 1588 auf, die wiederum, nicht im Detail, aber in der monumentalen Anlage der Figur des Satans auf Botticellis Zeichnung vom Ende des 15. Jahrhunderts rekurriert. Vermutlich sollten die dann gestochenen Blätter zunächst als eine Art Anschauungsmaterial im Rahmen akademischer Vorlesungen und Debatten über Dante dienen. Gegen Ende des 16. Jahrhunderts waren regelrechte Wort- und Argumentschlachten unter Florentiner Intellektuellen, vornehmlich an den neu gegründeten Sprachakademien, um den Stellenwert von Dantes Dichtung im Allgemeinen und um die konkreten Formen seiner poetisch konstruierten Jenseitsräume im Besonderen ausgetragen worden. Das Londoner Blatt, in Nürnberg gedruckt und verlegt, zeigt, dass Cigolis gestochener Lucifer um 1600 auch überregional reüssierte: ein gleichsam intellektuell eingehegtes und doch ästhetisch eindrücklich neu formuliertes Bild des Teufels Dantescher Lesart, das im Medium des Kupferstichs Verbreitung findet.

    "[E]s hätte vielleicht genügt zu bemerken, daß die Hölle Dantes die Vorstellung von einem Kerker übersteigert, die Beckfords hingegen die Höhlengänge eines Alptraums", fasst Borges sein Argument in den "Prólogos" zusammen. Indem Borges die beiden Höllenschilderungen ästhetisch und qualitativ voneinander abgrenzt, verweist er implizit auch auf seine eigene Höllenkonzeption, die er im Vorwort zu seiner Anthologie "Libro del Cielo y del Infierno" von 1960, die er zusammen mit Adolfo Bioy Casares herausgab, durchblicken lässt: Seit Swedenborg werde die Hölle nämlich nicht mehr als Ort, sondern als Zustand begriffen. Borges versucht keine große, theologische Wahrheit nachzuzeichnen; vielmehr sieht er die Wahrheit in der Unendlichkeit - im Kleinen, das in Summe ein unerkennbares, großes Ganzes ergibt. Die genaue Unterscheidung zwischen Beckfords und Dantes Höllenkonzeptionen dient hier beispielhaft dem Zweck, die Vielfalt dieses Ganzen sichtbar zu machen.

    In December 1960 the Leo Castelli Gallery in New York displayed a series of thirty-four illustrations of the "Inferno" by the avant-garde artist Robert Rauschenberg. Rauschenberg had developed this project over the previous two years, working on it almost exclusively, first in New York City, and then in an isolated storage room in Treasure Island, Florida, where he retreated to concentrate on the last half of the cycle. [.] Whatever the spark that set the project in motion, we find Rauschenberg's reply to his detractors here: the refuse that crowded his "Combines" was no joke, nor was it there to undermine or deride high art in the spirit of Dada. With his collection of things, he was composing a new language, turning fragments - the ruins of his environment and culture - into emblems. And what is an emblem if not a composite figure, an assemblage of diverse fragments into a new unity and order? As such, it is an elusive visual allegory whose pictorial image tends to lose its consistency and become a sign open to interpretations; in it, the different narratives springing from its multiple nature come together and give birth to a polysemic language. It is with this language, abstract and referential at the same time, that Rauschenberg translates Dante's poem and makes it new by linking it to something in existence, present in the viewer’s reality of mechanically reproduced images. By choosing 'to ennoble the ordinary', he, perhaps unconsciously, became the hermeneutist of his age and gave durability to what was trivial and precarious.

    The 1935 Fox Films "Dante's Inferno" (directed by Harry Lachman) traces the rise and fall of an entrepreneur. Its protagonist, Jim Carter (played by Spencer Tracy), begins the story as a stoker on a cruise liner. The narrative opens with a burst of flames from the ship's boiler, and the ensuing scene goes on to show the protagonist competing at shovelling coal for a bet in the sweltering engine-room. Interspersed are shots of the superstructure directly above with a number of elegant and vapid passengers following the game below. This initial sequence thus concisely conveys the main features of the film's social agenda through imagery that anticipates that of two of its later 'infernal' sequences. [.] Spectacular admonition and concern about the ruthless pursuit of wealth are the main features which link this "Inferno" of the thirties to the one that had appeared some six hundred years earlier. Wealth and avarice were, of course, demonstrably serious concerns for Dante: as Peter Armour, for example, has shown, there is a recurrent and pervasive concern with money, its meaning, and its misuse throughout the "Commedia". So it is not surprising that the "Inferno" should also have been appropriated by social critics some hundred years before the 1935 Hollywood fable. [.] Some of the narrative and visual patterns in "Dante's Inferno" imply an uneasy underlying vision of the movie industry and its practices. Other productions, publicity, and journalism of the time reinforce suggestions of such a metafictional approach to movies, morality, and the market in the 1935 "Dante's Inferno".

  19. Literary heresy : the Dantesque metamorphosis of LeRoi Jones into Amiri Baraka

    During the Black Revolution, LeRoi Jones used a radical adaptation of Dante to express a new militant identity, turning himself into a new man with a new name, Amiri Baraka, whose experimental literary project culminated in "The System of Dante's Hell" in 1965. Dante’s poem (specifically, John Sinclair's translation) provides a grid for the narrative of Baraka's autobiographical novel; at the same time, the Italian poet's description of hell functions for Baraka as a gloss on many of his own experiences. Whereas for Ralph Ellison and Richard Wright, Dante marks a way into the world of European culture, Baraka uses Dante first to measure the growing distance between himself and European literature and then, paradoxically, to separate himself totally from it. Baraka's response to the poet at once confirms and belies Edward Said's claim that Dante's "Divine Comedy" is essentially an imperial text that is foundational to the imperial discipline of comparative literature. That Baraka can found his struggle against imperialist culture, as he sees it, on none other than this specific poem suggests the extent to which it is a richer and more complex text than even Said imagined. To see exactly how Baraka does this, Dennis Looney proposes to read several extended passages from "The System of Dante's Hell" to take stock of its allusiveness to the Italian model. For all the critical attention to Baraka, surprisingly no one has undertaken the necessary work of sorting out his allusions to Dante in any systematic way.

  20. Dante's "Inferno" and Walter Benjamin's cities : considerations of place, experience, and media

    When Walter Benjamin wrote his main texts, the theme of the city as hell was extremely popular. Some of his German contemporaries, such as Brecht or Döblin, also used it. Benjamin was aware of these examples, as well as of examples outside Germany, including Joyce's "Ulysses" and Baudelaire's "poetry". And he was - at least in some way - familiar with Dante's "Inferno" and used it, and in particular Dante's conception of hell, for his own purposes. Benjamin's appropriation of the topos of the Inferno has been seen as a critique of capitalism and as a general critique of modernism by means of allegory. In the following analysis, Angela Merte-Rankin takes a slightly different approach and, despite Benjamin's status as an expert on allegory, considers hell in its literal sense as a place and examines the issues of implacement that might follow from this standpoint.

  21. Man with Snake : Dante in Derek Jarman's "Edward II"

    'Perhaps the sodomites should be written out of Dante's "Inferno"', Jarman wrote in his journal on 1 August 1990: 'I'll offer myself as the ghostwriter.' What does he mean by 'ghostwriter' here? How queer is this odd speech-act? What is he offering to do to the homophobic landscape of the "Inferno", that forbiddingly sealed textual prison, with his Hollywood pitchman's casual bid to 'write out' the sodomites as if they were a slight embarrassment to the divine justice system? Is he speaking in jest as a writer of gay satires and sacrilegious memoirs, or in deadly earnest as an activist who had renounced the middle-class pretensions and frivolities of the pre-AIDS gay world? [.] Jarman counters the trope of homosexual theft visually with the triumphant figure of Man with Snake. The Dantesque merging of snake and thief is replaced by an erotic dance in which the gilded youth raises his phallic partner above his head and seductively kisses it on the mouth. Whereas Dante would have us notice the grotesque parody of the Trinity played out in the seventh bolgia - with the unchanging Puccio as God the Father, the two-natured Agnello-Cianfa as Christ, and the fume-veiled Buoso receiving his forked tongue from the serpent Francesco in a demonic replay of the gift of tongues from the Spirit - Jarman clears away all overdetermined theological meanings to revel in the purely aesthetic impact of the phallic dancer. All the ghosts from Dante's snakepit are conjured away in the film and replaced with the solid presence of a single gorgeously spotlit male body. Ghostwriting Dante, for Jarman, meant more than a mere appropriation of homoerotic scenes from the "Inferno" into his screenplay. It meant a complete reimagining of their aesthetic significance within the filmscape of his Dantean transformations.

    The subject of this paper is a recent comic movie version of Dante's "Comedy": a 2007 puppet and toy theatre adaptation of the "Inferno" directed by Sean Meredith. It is certainly not the first time that Dante and his theatre of hell appear in this kind of environment. Mickey Mouse has followed Dante's footsteps and very recently a weird bunch of prehistoric animals went a similar path: in part three of the blockbuster "Ice Age" (2009), a new, lippy guide character named Buck uses several Dante quotes and the whole strange voyage can be described as a Dantesque descent into dinosaur hell. In the following pages Ronald de Rooy argues that Meredith's version of Dante's "Inferno" is not only funny and entertaining, but that it is also surprisingly innovative if we compare it to other literature and movies which project Dante's hell or parts of it onto the modern metropolis.

  23. 'Il mal seme d'Adamo' : Dante's "Inferno" and the problem of the literary representation of evil in Thomas Mann's "Doktor Faustus" and Wolfgang Koeppen's "Der Tod in Rom"

    Even if the title of Wolfgang Koeppen's last novel, "Der Tod in Rom", alludes quite obviously to Thomas Mann's novella, "Der Tod in Venedig", Koeppen's text must be understood first and foremost as a response to Mann's most controversial novel, "Doktor Faustus". The novels of Mann and Koeppen rank among the most well-known literary examinations of National Socialism but stand in a complementary relation to each other. "Doktor Faustus", published in 1947, analyses the cultural and intellectual origins of German fascism, while "Der Tod in Rom", published only seven years later in 1954, criticizes the continuity of National Socialist ideologies in post-war Germany. Both authors focus their analyses of fascism on fictional avant-garde composers who seem at first glance detached from any political context. [.] The actual starting point of Florian Trabert's paper, however, is the fact that both novels are preceded by epigraphs taken from Dante's "Inferno". Trabert begins by commenting on the references to Dante in "Doktor Faustus" and then continues by analysing the allusions to the "Commedia" in Koeppen's novel, which constitute, as Trabert demonstrates, a complex constellation among the three texts.
