Long description: Sprachen sind ein dynamisches Phänomen, denn sie basieren auf dem fortwährenden Austausch zwischen Menschen. Aus dieser Interaktion entsteht Kultur. (Inter-)Kulturelle Verständigung kann daher durch die Interpretation kultureller Manifestationen einer Gemeinschaft erfolgen. In diesem Sinne werfen die Autorinnen und Autoren dieses Bandes ‚Hybride Blicke auf die deutsche Sprache und Literatur‘. Sprach- und literaturwissenschaftliche Beiträge sowie kultur- und geschichtswissenschaftliche Analysen umreißen das breite Themenspektrum der spanischen Germanistik im 21. Jahrhundert.

This essay is offered particularly as a contribution to the relationship between theological and literary writings on the Holocaust. Franz Baermann Steiner's (1909-1952) detailed sociological work - he taught at the Department of Social Anthropology at Oxford and developed a sociology of danger that strongly influenced Mary Douglas, T. W. Adorno, Iris Murdoch, H.G. Adler and Julia Kristeva - contrasts with Canetti's emphasis on shock. Canetti's response to the Holocaust constitutes, in Dominick LaCapra's terms, an 'acting out' of trauma: a comparison between Canetti's »Masse und Macht« and the anthropological texts he uses brings to the fore his bleak depicton of humanity. By contrast, Steiner - in comparison to Canetti - lays emphasis on 'working through' the Holocaust, that is to say, on overcoming the paralysis of trauma by reflecting critically on values that might transform a damaged society. However, Canetti's depiction of humanity cannot entirely be seen in LaCapra's notion of 'acting out': for through the shock of 'acting out', Canetti nonetheless wants to bring about a 'working through'. Similarly, despite the 'working through' shock and trauma are dramatized in Steiner's poetry and his aphoristic writings. Morever, Canetti thematizes an ethical impact on his readership in his aphorisms. In response to the Holocaust both writers advance a theory of power: what Steiner calls danger, Canetti attacks as death. Steiner's and Canetti's respective responses to the Holocaust consists in a critique of static ways of thought, affirming 'metamorphosis', and deconceptualized understanding of the world which connects linguistic fluidity to the everchanging contextualities of social and embodied life.

Nobel laureate Elias Canetti wrote his novel Auto-da-Fe (Die Blendung) when he and the twentieth century were still quite young. Rooted in the cultural crises of the Weimar period, Auto-da-Fe first received critical acclaim abroad--in England, France, and the United States--where it continues to fascinate readers of subsequent generations. Critical reactions have abounded, but never has a comprehensive study placed this work in its cultural and philosophical contexts. The End of Modernism seeks to do just that, situating the novel not only in relation to Can

In seinem Lebenswerk »Masse und Macht« von 1960 behandelt Elias Canetti, Nobelpreisträger für Literatur, zwar nicht explizit das Problem der elektronischen Massenmedien, gleichwohl hat seine Schrift einen bedeutenden Einfluss auf Marshall McLuhan, den großen Medientheoretiker des 20. Jahrhunderts, ausgeübt. Anhand der Canetti-Rezeption in McLuhans Medientheorie analysiert Shinichi Furuya den verborgenen Zusammenhang zwischen Masse, Macht und Medium in Canettis Werken und legt die (Dis-)Kontinuitäten zwischen Massentheorie und (Massen-)Medientheorie offen.
