    Abstract ; Die Arbeit beschäftigt sich auf textimmanente Weise mit der Lyrik des Dichters Georg Trakl. Sie setzt auf eine für den Leser aktivierbare Dynamik in den konventionell als „hermetisch“ klassifizierten Gedichten. In Einzelkapiteln werden alle Gedichte stets vollständig interpretiert, wobei das Augenmerk auf den Erlebnismöglichkeiten des Rezipienten liegt. Dem einzelnen Gedicht wird so jeweils eine Erlebnis-Signatur verliehen. Nur am Werk orientiert, liefert die Arbeit Reisevorschläge durch die Dichtung und stellt alter-native Perspektiven und Wahrnehmungszustände vor. Auf die Nutzbarmachung der Interferenzen zwischen Dichter-Biografie und Werk wird verzichtet. Intertextualität findet nicht systematisch, sondern nur je nach Einzelfall, Berücksichtigung. An die Stelle des Ergebnisses setzt die Arbeit das Erlebnis. Strukturell ist die Arbeit als eine Interpretationssammlung angelegt; methodisch spielt sie die textimmanten Interpretationen in die Richtung einer engen Leser-Integration und des impliziten Lesers hin aus. Sie stützt sich hierbei auf die von Gustav Kars angeregte „subjektive Sensibilität“ im Umgang mit Georg Trakls Gedicht, vor allem aber auf die durch Peter von Matt mittels seiner „Phänomenologie der Trakl-Lektüre“ vollzogene radikale Umwertung der Hermetik-Theorie, sowie auf Franz Fühmanns einschlägiges Essay-Buch „Vor Feuerschlünden - Erfahrung mit Georg Trakls Gedicht.“ Eine Verknüpfung der separat behandelten Gedichte wird nur perspektivisch aufgezeigt. Die Arbeit hält den Schwebezustand, in welchem die Gedichte Trakls vom Interpreten zu belassen sind. Als qualitative Grundlagenforschung steht sie der Diskussion und Weiterführung offen. ; Abstract ; The dissertation examines the poetry of Georg Trakl in a text-immanent manner. Trakls poems are conventionally regarded as „hermetic“; this paper emphasises a dynamics in the poems that can be activated by the reader. A complete interpretation of each poem is provided in a separate chapter. The interpretations focus on the experiential opportunities that the recipient has. Thus every single poem is assigned its individual experiential signature. Solely oriented towards the literary work, the dissertation offers travel suggestions through the poetry and presents alternative perspectives and states of perception. Interferences between the poet’s biography and his work are not explored. Intertextuality is taken into consideration not in a systematic way, but only with regard to particular cases. In place of a result, the dissertation puts the experience. Structurally, the dissertation is arranged as a collection of interpretations; methodologically, it approaches the text-immanent interpretations with a close reader integration and the implicit reader in mind. In pursuing this method, it is based on the “subjective sensibility” in the exploration of Trakl’s poetry, as suggested by Gustav Kars, and on Franz Fühmann’s essay book “Vor Feuerschlünden - Erfahrung mit Georg Trakls Gedicht.” Its primary theoretical basis forms Peter von Matt’s radical re-evaluation of the Theory of Hermetics by means of his “phenomenology of the Trakl reading”. Connections between the separately treated poems are only traced perspectively. The dissertation retains the abeyance in which Trakl’s poems are to be left by the recipient. As a piece of qualitative basic research, it is open to discussion and continuation.

  2. Contact, Mobility and Authenticity: Language Ideologies in Koineisation

    Other ; New Zealand English first emerged at the beginning of the 19th century as a result of the dialect contact of British (51%), Scottish (27.3%) and Irish (22%) migrants (Hay and Gordon 2008:6). This variety has subsequently developed into an autonomous and legitimised national variety and enjoys a distinct socio-political status, recognition and codification. In fact, a number of dictionaries of New Zealand English have been published1 and the variety is routinely used as the official medium on TV, radio and other media. This however, has not always been the case, as for long only British standard norms were deemed suitable for media broadcasting. While there is some work already on lay commentary about New Zealand English (see for example Gordon 1983, 1994; Hundt 1998), there is much more to be done especially concerning more recent periods of the history of this variety and the ideologies underlying its development and legitimisation. Consequently, the current project aims at investigating the metalinguistic discourses during the period of transition from a British norm to a New Zealand norm in the media context, this will be done by focusing on debates about language in light of the advent of radio and television. The main purpose of this investigation is thus to examine the (language) ideologies that have shaped and underlain these discourses (e.g. discussions about the appropriateness of New Zealand English vis à vis external, British models of language) and their related practices in these media (e.g. broadcasting norms). The sociolinguistic and pragmatic effects of these ideologies will also be taken into account. Furthermore, a comparison will be carried out, at a later stage in the project, between New Zealand English and a more problematic and less legitimised variety: Estuary English. Despite plenty of evidence of media and other public discourses on Estuary English, in fact, there has been very little metalinguistic analysis of this evidence, nor examinations of the underlying ideologies in these discourses. The comparison will seek to discover whether similar themes emerge in the ideologies played out in publish discourses about these varieties, themes which serve to legitimise one variety, whilst denying such legitimacy to the other.

    Other ; The poster demonstrates the preparatory steps of a digital multi-text edition that are abstracted from the experiences made in the Parzival Project, based at the University of Bern, the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and the University of Erlangen. This edition of Wolfram von Eschenbach’s German Grail novel, written shortly after 1200 and transmitted during several centuries in ca. hundred witnesses, has now been completed by more than a half of the textual corpus. As the text is transmitted in medieval manuscripts the witnesses have to be transcribed according to specific encoding rules. The transcriptions then are collated following certain ideas and concepts of how the transmission process could have developed. The transcriptions and collations finally have to be transferred to a digital edition that allows the users to explore the characteristics of single witnesses as well as the history of a text, which is delivered in variants and in different versions. A dynamically organized database offering various components and adapted to the needs of diverse user-profiles is nowadays the right tool for this purpose.

    Other ; Recent research on melodrama has stressed its versatility and ubiquity by approaching it as a mode of expression rather than a theatrical genre. A variety of contexts in which melodrama is at work have been explored, but only little scholarly attention has been paid to the relationship between melodrama and novels, short stories and novellas. This article proposes a typology of melodrama in narrative prose fiction, examining four different categories: Melodrama and Sentimentalism, Depiction of Melodramatic Performances in Narrative Prose Fiction, Theatrical Antics and Aesthetics in Narrative Prose Fiction and Meta-Melodrama. Its aim is to clarify the ways in which melodrama, ever since its early days on the stages of late eighteenth-century Europe, has interacted with fictional prose narratives, thereby shaping the literary imagination in the Anglophone world.

    Other ; Die Romane der französischen Autorin Marie NDiaye (geb. 1967) sind durchzogen von Zuständen des Unwohlseins: NDiayes Protagonistinnen werden auf diffuse Weise sozial ausgegrenzt oder massiv bedrängt, verlieren die Kontrolle über ihren Körper oder geraten in schwindelerregende Zweifel über den Realitätsgehalt ihrer Sinneswahrnehmungen und Erinnerungen. Anhand der Romane "En famille" (1990), "Autoportrait en vert" (2005) und "Mon cœur à l’étroit" (2007) zeigt der Aufsatz, dass diese Momente des Unbehagens nicht nur die Suchbewegungen und Erkenntnisprozesse der Romanfiguren auslösen, sondern auch die kreative Spannung bilden, die den Vorgang der literarischen inventio in Gang setzt. Theoretische Modelle einer Psychologie, in der Unlust als Antrieb fungiert, finden sich bei Leibniz, Locke und Freud; Elemente einer Narratologie der Unlust, mit der sich die quête-Struktur von NDiayes Romanen beschreiben lässt, bietet die strukturalistische Märchentheorie Wladimir Propps und seiner Nachfolger.

    Other ; The different aspects of magic became an essential ingredient of bucolic universe since the origin of pastoral genre. Within an idealized and utopic frame, magic built a bridge towards transcendence, and balanced the disharmony created by human love emotions within Arcadian microcosm. This concept of magic became infused to Sixteenth century pastoral novel through Neoplatonism and Hermetic tradition. From a narratological point of view, magic episodes became indispensable to complete the philosophical meaning of the works. Lope de Vega, in La Arcadia, published in 1598, fully participated from this tradition, though he will approach the convention from a particular dramatic-like perspective. And it was precisely in pastoral comedias where the Fénix ends up deconstructing bucolic code to remodel it as a mere vestige of the tradition and treat magic as a humorous ingredient.

Besides the analysis of the suitable contexts and staging procedures associated to the appearance of sacred images on stage, static performances, closer to painting than to drama, are also taken into account as a device which contribute to create that transcendent meaning which is essential to hagiographical comedias.

    Other ; Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s Garbage, The City, and Death. A Four Act Scandal in Post-war Germany The paper explores the dramaturgy of the scandals around the play Garbage, The City and Death (Der Müll, die Stadt und der Tod) by German playwright, theatre and film maker Rainer Werner Fassbinder. Published in 1976, the play immediately caused a scandal in West Germany, because it was accused of reproducing anti-Semitic stereotypes. The presentation sheds light on the different phases of the scandal and their historical and cultural contexts in post-war Germany – starting as a literary scandal in 1976, being transformed into a theatre scandal in the 1980ies and finally being dissolved by the German premiere in 2009. The paper is structured as follows: Act One: The Literary Scandal. Destroying Fassbinder’s Garbage, Act Two: Preventing the Staging of the Play, Act Three: Blocking the Opening Night, Act Four: Performing the Play in Germany. By analysing the dramaturgical structure of this specific scandal, the paper discusses the following hypotheses: 1. Scandals arise through the circulation of decontextualised information in public. This is due to either a lack of information about the actual object or incident being scandalised or a lack of information about the context of the object or incident. This lack is caused by the logic of the scandal itself: Because the play or the performance is prohibited, it has been withdrawn from the public, making it impossible to form a well-founded opinion on the controversy. 2. The scandal is driven forward by an emotionalising rhetoric built around the decontextualised information. 3. Once the gap of information is filled, the scandalising rhetoric turns into a rhetoric of irrelevance: Reviews of the first performance of Garbage, The City and Death in Germany considered the play hardly a matter of public concern.

    Other ; This paper explores the works of German film-maker Rosa von Praunheim during the AIDS crisis. In the 1980ies and 1990ies he produced several films portraying the gay communities in Germany and the USA in the face of AIDS. First, this paper analyses the cinematic techniques von Praunheim uses to criticise the German gay community and present the American practices of performing community as a role model for AIDS-activism. In a second step, the focus is put on von Praunheim’s autobiography and the rhetoric strategies he uses to participate in New York’s HIV-community, while being HIV-negative himself.

    Abstract ; Ebnet die Kirche als Institution den Weg zum Glauben? Nein, nicht zwangsläufig. Denn auch die Kirche ist nicht frei von Korruption, Machtgier und anderen menschlichen Verfehlungen, so haben Walther von der Vogelweide und Heinrich Heine zu unterschiedlichen Zeiten im poetischen Gewand geantwortet. In der vorliegenden Arbeit werde ich nachweisen, dass, trotzdem ihnen der Glaube an die Kirche fehlte, ihr Werk von tiefer Religiosität geprägt ist. Am Beispiel der institutionellen Kirchenkritik erfolgt eine Analyse von poetisch politischer Kritiknahme im Hochmittelalter und in der Zeit des 19. Jahrhunderts. Ausgehen wird die Arbeit von Walther von der Vogelweide, der in seiner Spruchdichtung sowohl offen als auch ironisch verschleiert Kritik am Versagen des Papstes übt. Systematisch untersucht die Arbeit die Strophen auf religiöse Motive und weist nach, dass sich durch das zyklische Lesen von aufeinanderfolgenden Strophen auf den ersten Blick als Bekenntnislyrik ausgebende Inhalte in Wahrheit als scharfe Kritik an der institutionellen Kirche entlarven. Nur einen Ausweg scheint es zu geben: die Abwendung von der korrumpierten Welt des institutionellen Glaubens. Diese Abwendung manifestiert sich in der Figur des klosenære, der von Walther dreimal als Gegenfigur beschworen wird. Hinter dieser Maske des Einsiedlers kann die Kritik offen hervortreten. Walther schreibt für wechselnde Auftraggeber, wie Friedrich II. und Otto IV. Die Wirkung seiner Poesie zielt zwar vordergründig auf die geistliche Sphäre ab, unterstreicht vermutlich aber nicht zuletzt auch die Machtansprüche seiner Gönner im weltlichen Bereich. Papstkritik ist somit Machtpolitik, die wesentlich von seinen bedeutenden Förderern bestimmt wird. Bei Heinrich Heine stellt sich die machtpolitische Frage etwa 650 Jahre später nicht. Er liegt seit 1848 in seiner „Matratzengruft“, leidet ganz persönlich Schmerzen und stellt sich ganz individuell Fragen nach Glauben und Erlösung. Im Romanzero verarbeitet er seine Gedanken um Leid, Schmerz, aber auch Hoffnung und Toleranz im fernen Pariser Exil. Geprägt von seinem jüdischen, katholischen und evangelischen Hintergrund ist er sowohl ein religiöser als auch geographischer Grenzgänger, dem ein zuversichtlicher Glaube an die institutionelle Kirche abhanden gekommen ist. Bereits mit 38 Jahren auf dem Index der katholischen Kirche, schreibt er weiter gegen Doppelmoral und Kleingeistigkeit. In herrlich ironischen Weise lässt er in seinem Gedicht Dizputation einen Rabbi und einen katholischen Geistlichen in einem theologischen Wettstreit um den wahren Gott antreten. Am Ende verlieren sie beide ihr Gesicht, da sie in ihrem heftigen Disput den Menschen vergessen haben. Die vorliegende Arbeit beschreibt die Art der Kritiknahme an der Kirche und geht dabei detailliert auf die Rezipienten, die sprachlichen Mittel und die entworfenen Gegenbilder ein.

    Abstract ; Der 1924 in Neustadt in Holstein geborene, heute in Berlin lebende, Kay Hoff hat in seiner mehr als 50 Jahre andauernden Schriftstellerkarriere seinen Ruf als unbequemer, das heißt gesellschaftliche und politische Missstände unmissverständlich tadelnder, Autor häufig in Werk und Wirken unter Beweis gestellt. Leben und Schaffen des promovierten Germanisten zeigen sich geprägt durch das, was er selbst bezeichnet als seinen „wichtigsten Lebenseinschnitt [.]: das Kriegsende 1945.“ So gehören Vergangenheitsbewältigung und Schuld, aus immer neuen Perspektiven betrachtet, zu seinen zentralen Fragen; dazu treten nach und nach weitere Themen: die Kritik am Kleinbürgertum, die Skepsis gegenüber der Sprache, die Konfrontation zwischen konservativ-bürgerlicher und progressiv-kritischer Literatur, die Krise des Individuums und immer wieder die Probleme zwischenmenschlicher Beziehungen. In späteren Werken wird der Themenkreis noch erweitert um Erörterungen über Wahrheit und Wirklichkeit, Verlust und Vergänglichkeit sowie um den Generationskonflikt. Das Werk Kay Hoffs ist äußerst vielfältig und, den Schaffensjahren entsprechend, umfangreich. Neben sieben Romanen veröffentlichte er Dutzende von Erzählungen und zwölf Gedichtbände (der letzte erschien 2006), darüber hinaus verfasste er vierzig Hörspiele und Funk-Features sowie mehrere Fernsehspiele. Als unbequem gilt Hoff auch, weil er durch den Einatz einer Vielzahl von Stilmitteln sowie durch besondere sprachliche und strukturelle Konstruktionen ein leichtes Konsumieren seiner Texte verhindert. So fällt in den frühen Romanen die Tendenz zum nicht-linearen Erzählen auf, häufig vorgetragen in einem ironischen, satirischen Ton. Die Expositionen werden ausgespart oder verkürzt und verschiedene Stilmittel, wie Multiperspektivismus, Montage, Ellipse und Anakoluth, kommen zum Einsatz. Der Gebrauch dieser Stilmittel steigert sich bis zum dritten Roman Drei. Anatomie einer Liebesgeschichte, dem eine ausgeprägt experimentelle Form zugrunde liegt. Danach, in Wir reisen nach Jerusalem, dem letzten Roman des nach Jürgen Petersen sogenannten Frühwerks, ist ein deutlicher Rückgang an stilistischen Erprobungen zu verzeichnen, bis Hoff mit Janus, dem Beginn des Spätwerks, endgültig zum narrativen Erzählen zurückfindet. Übereinstimmend gilt sowohl für die frühen als auch für die späten Romane, die stets aus ihrer jeweiligen Entstehungszeit heraus formuliert sind, dass auf eine spannungsgeladene, aktionsreiche Handlung verzichtet wird und statt dessen die Wiedergabe von Gesprächen und Reflexionen den Vorrang erhalten. Das Ende der Romane bleibt meist offen, wobei Lösungsmöglichkeiten allenfalls angedeutet werden oder die zirkuläre Konstruktion auf die Ausgangskonstellation zurückverweist. Die Erzählungen sind den Romanen thematisch vielerorts verwandt, und auch stilistisch zeigen sich ähnliche Entwicklungen. Während Hoff in den frühen Erzählungen der Nachkriegsjahre in knapper, nüchterner Sprache den Überlebenskampf „kleiner“ Leute schildert, entstehen in den 60er Jahren experimentelle Arbeiten, in denen sich die ehedem von außen an die Figuren herangetragenen Probleme zu inneren Krisen gewandelt haben. In der Kurzprosa der jüngeren Zeit kehrt Hoff dann wieder zu stärker narrativen Erzählformen zurück. Die Dissertationsschrift stellt die erste Monografie über Arbeiten von Kay Hoff dar. Trotz der mehr als fünfzigjährigen Schreibtätigkeit, während der er in bekannten Verlagen und Literaturzeitschriften sowie im Hörfunk veröffentlichen konnte und für seine Arbeiten mit einer Reihe von Auszeichnungen geehrt wurde, blieben Hoff und seinem Werk bisher eine angemessene Beachtung in der wissenschaftlichen Forschung wie auch in der lesenden Öffentlichkeit versagt. Die Ziele der Dissertationsschrift sind daher, eine Einführung in Hoffs Prosawerk zu leisten, einen literaturwissenschaftlichen Diskurs anzuregen sowie eine breitere Leserschaft auf seine Arbeiten aufmerksam zu machen. ; Abstract ; Kay Hoff was born in 1924 in Neustadt in Holstein. In more than 50 years of writing he proved his reputation as an inconvenient author who criticizes social and political deficiencies. Life and work of this graduated Germanic Philologist is impressed on World War II, as he says, his “most important period of life”. So guilt and the process of coming to terms with the past are the central issues; this comes along with other topics: criticism on petty bourgeoisie, considerations about language, literature, the crisis of the individual and human relations. At a later period topics like truth, realness, loss, perishableness and the generation gap were added. The opus of Kay Hoff is, according to his years of working, very multifarious and comprehensive. It contains seven novels, dozens of novellas, twelve poem anthologies, forty radio plays and several TV-plays. Hoff is also considered an inconvenient writer because he avoids an effortless reading of his works through multiplicity of linguistical and structural constructions. Especially in his early novels he applies a lot of different stylistic devices. In particular his third novel Drei. Anatomie einer Liebesgeschichte has a distinctive experimentel form. After this, in Wir reisen nach Jerusalem, according to Jürgen Petersen the last novel of the early works, there is a noticeable decline of stylistic trials. With Janus, the beginning of his late work, Hoff finally finds back to narrative telling. It is effective for all his novels, that Hoffs resigns of a thrilling story line. Instead of that he prefers dialogues and reflexion. The novels are open-ended and offer no denouements. The novels are related to the novellas in many issues. In the early novellas of the post-war period Hoff describes the struggle for existence of ordinary people. In the sixties occur experimental works which show people in psychologic crisis. Even here Hoff turns back in his late work to more narrative tellings. The thesis is the first monograph about the works of Kay Hoff. Despite of his long career as an author Hoff is fairly unknown among readers and experts. Hence the aim of the thesis is an introduction in Hoffs prose work as well as to initiate a scientifical discussion and not least to get through to the reading public.
