    Abstract ; Diese Dissertation soll einen Beitrag zur Diskussion um die Fragestellung leisten, inwiefern das Marionettenmotiv Goethes Roman "Wilhelm Meisters Lehrjahre", Kleists Aufsatz "Über das Marionettentheater" und seine Dramen verbindet. Die Verbindung zwischen Goethes Roman und Kleists Aufsatz besteht im Motiv der Marionette. Ausgehend von dem ästhetischen Ansatz, dem Konzept der Grazie bei Schiller, Goethe und Kleist, erfolgt eine Auseinandersetzung mit den kunsttheoretischen Aufsätzen von Goethe, Schiller und Winckelmann. Des Weiteren wird in dieser Dissertation untersucht, ob Goethes Roman "Wilhelm Meisters Lehrjahre" grundlegend für das theoretische Modell aus Kleists Aufsatz "Über das Marionettentheater" und für seine Dramen ist. Das Motiv der Marionette ist sowohl in "Wilhelm Meisters Lehrjahre" als auch in Kleists Aufsatz "Über das Marionettentheater" vorhanden. Es wird analysiert, inwiefern dieses Motiv die beiden Werke verbindet und ob in literaturwissenschaftlicher Hinsicht eine Entwicklung von Goethes Roman zu Kleists Aufsatz "Über das Marionettentheater" und zu seinen Dramen stattfindet. Die Auseinandersetzung Goethes mit Shakespeare innerhalb des Romans spiegelt die Figur "Wilhelm" wider. An dieser Stelle der Dissertation erfolgt eine Gegenüberstellung der Figuren "Hamlet" und "Wilhelm"/"Hamlet" und "Prinz Friedrich von Homburg", um herauszuarbeiten, dass diese Figuren sowohl in einer realen Welt als auch in einer Traumwelt leben. Thema und Fragestellung sind ein neuer Beitrag in der Diskussion um die dichterischen Werke von Goethe und Kleist, da in dieser Arbeit nachgewiesen werden konnte, dass Kleist das Motiv der Marionette aus dem Roman "Wilhelm Meisters Lehrjahre" in seinem Aufsatz und seinen Dramen verarbeitet hat, um zu einem neuen, mechanischen Modell zu gelangen. Es entstand somit auch eine Weiterentwicklung in der Literatur, von der Beschreibung des inneren Empfindens zum äußeren Ausdruck und zum Verhalten der Figuren. Ein Vergleich der beiden Werke, Goethes Roman und Kleists Aufsatz, wurde in der Forschungsliteratur noch nie in Erwägung gezogen. ; Abstract ; This doctoral thesis make a contribution to the discussion about the question, to what extent the motiv oft the marionette in Goethe's novel "Wilhelm Meisters Lehrjahre", is combined with Kleist's essay "Über das Marionettentheater" and his dramas. The connection between Goethe's novel and Kleist's essay exists in the motive of the marionette. To emanate from the aesthetic projection, the concept of the grace in Schiller, Goethe and Kleist, is under discussion with the art-theoretical essays of Goethe, Schiller and Winckelmann. Furthermore will be investigated, whether Goethe's novel "Wilhelm Meisters Lehrjahre" is based on the theoretical model of Kleist's essay "Über das Marionettentheater" and his dramas. The motive of the marionette exists during "Wilhelm Meisters Lehrjahre" as well as in Kleist's essay "Über das Marionettentheater". It is analyzed, to what extent this motive connects both works and whether in literature-scientific regard a development of Goethe's novel to Kleist's essay "Über das Marionettentheater" and his dramas takes place. The discussion between Goethe and Shakespeare within the novel reflects to the character "Wilhelm". At this point of the doctoral thesis a confrontation of the characters "Hamlet" and "Wilhelm" / "Hamlet" and "Prinz Friedrich von Homburg" is provided, in order to prove that these figures live in a real world as well as in a fictional world. Subject and question are a new contribution in the discussion about the poetic works of Goethe and Kleist. It was proven that in this work Kleist has processed the motive of the marionette from the novel "Wilhelm Meisters Lehrjahre" in his article and his dramas to reach a new mechanical model. A comparison of both works, Goethe's novel and Kleist's essay, was never taken into consideration in the research literature.

    Other ; After the opening of the country in the middle of the 19th century, Japan quickly moved towards becoming an industrialized world power. But the romanticist syndrome, imported from Europe by Mori Ogai since the 1890s, especially enchanted young intellectuals and drove their search of a Japanese cultural identity. The goal was, internally, to integrate the entire population, and externally, to make the country distinguishable from the »West« ─ paradoxically, in a spirit of European Romanticism. Takemitsu Morikawa investigates these remarkable developments and retraces the rise and canonization of the alleged self-image of modern Japan. ; Other ; Seit der Öffnung des Landes in der Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts bewegte sich Japan rasant auf dem Weg zur industrialisierten Weltmacht. Das dort seit den 1890er Jahren durch Mori Ogai aus Europa ›eingeführte‹ romantische Syndrom jedoch verzauberte insbesondere die jungen Intellektuellen und trieb sie zur Suche nach der japanischen kulturellen Identität an. Ziel war es, nach innen die gesamte Bevölkerung zu integrieren und nach außen das Land vom »Westen« unterscheidbar zu machen – und zwar paradoxerweise im Geist der europäischen Romantik. Takemitsu Morikawa geht diesen bemerkenswerten Entwicklungen auf den Grund und zeichnet die Entstehung und die Kanonisierung des vermeintlichen Selbstbildes des modernen Japan nach.

    Other ; The various meanings of discourse connectives like while and however are difficult to identify and annotate, even for trained human annotators. This problem is all the more important that connectives are salient textual markers of cohesion and need to be correctly interpreted for many NLP applications. In this paper, we suggest an alternative route to reach a reliable annotation of connectives, by making use of the information provided by their translation in large parallel corpora. This method thus replaces the difficult explicit reasoning involved in traditional sense annotation by an empirical clustering of the senses emerging from the translations. We argue that this method has the advantage of providing more reliable reference data than traditional sense annotation. In addition, its simplicity allows for the rapid constitution of large annotated datasets.

    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.

    Other ; Departing from the concepts of visualism and theatricality understood as the base of the world view of an epoch, a reflection about the presence of a pictorial-based expressiveness in the performance of Lope’s comedias de santos is suggested. 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.
