Abstract

La festa è il tempo per eccellenza, distinto dall'insieme della durata in quanto particolarmente potente. Le dinamiche della secolarizzazione hanno attenuato e confuso i confini tra sacro e profano, al punto che ci si chiede se sia ancora lecito cercare di distinguere una festa religiosa da una profana o se non sia più proficuo cercare all'interno della festa la dimensione sacrale del tempo. La modernità non porta all'eclissi del sacro, ma, piuttosto, alla sua trasformazione. Questo volume affronta questi temi e si propone come "strumento di lavoro" per eventuali approfondimenti.

Abstract

Kathleen Parth offers the first comprehensive examination of the controversial literary movement Russian Village Prose. From the 1950's to the decline of the movement in the 1970's, Valentin Rasputin, Fedor Abramov, and other writers drew on "luminous" memories of their rural childhoods to evoke a thousand-year-old pattern of life that was disappearing as they wrote. In their lyrical descriptions of a vanishing world, they expressed nostalgia for Russia's past and fears for the nation's future; they opposed collectivized agriculture, and fought to preserve traditional art and architecture and to protect the environment. Assessing the place of Village Prose in the newly revised canon of twentieth-century Russian literature, Parth maintains that these writers consciously ignored and undermined Socialist Realism, and created the most aesthetically coherent and ideologically important body of published writings to appear in the Soviet Union between Stalin's death and Gorbachev's ascendancy. In the 1970's, Village Prose was seen as moderately nationalist and conservative in spirit. After 1985, however, statements by several of its practitioners caused the movement to be reread as a possible stimulus for chauvinistic, anti-Semitic groups like Pamyat. This important development is treated here with a thorough discussion of all the political implications of these rural narratives. Nevertheless, the center of Parth's work remains her exploration of the parameters that constitute a "code of reading" for works of Village Prose. The appendixes contain a translation and analysis of a particularly fine example of Russian Village Prose--Aleksei Leonov's "Kondyr."

Abstract

Privatheit ist Schlüsselwort einer freien Staats- und Gesellschaftsordnung. Die Studie will eine antike Lebensanschauung für das gegenwärtige Verständnis von Staat und Gesellschaft fruchtbar machen. Horaz beschreibt etwas »wesentlich Privates«: machtfernes Genießen. Er spricht damit ein staatsrechtlich konkretes Zentralthema der Gegenwart an: Staatsverdrossenheit, Politikmüdigkeit, Parteienkritik. Der Bürger flieht immer mehr in Privatheit, oder er will geradezu aus ihr heraus den Staat besetzen, in privaten Dialog zwingen. Die Dichtung des Horaz führt in eine Grundstimmung, die dem »Men-schen und Bürger« der Gegenwart vieles bedeuten kann, in seinem Verhältnis zu Staatsgewalt und Reichtum. In »Privatheit« soll er glücklich werden: Ländliche Ruhe, Liebe, Rausch - und tiefere Bildung. In all dem entsteht das Bild einer privaten Staatsferne.

Abstract

Our own birth and death elude our conscious experience. The world's literatures give us the opportunity to access the beginning and end of a life, to represent, reflect upon, and (re)stage birth, life, dying, and death. This highly mobile configuration releases a tremendous creative energy, which this volume analyzes against the backdrop of the question of the knowledge of life.

Abstract

Wer die Berlin-Beschreibungen niederländischer und flämischer Künstler des frühen 20. Jahrhunderts liest, gewinnt den Eindruck, ihre Autoren hätten nicht ein und dieselbe, sondern völlig verschiedene Städte bereist. Die einen schwärmen von einer fortschrittlichen Weltmetropole und Hauptstadt der Avantgarde, andere hingegen nehmen Berlin als Zentrum eines immer noch allgegenwärtigen Militarismus wahr, dritte prangern den Verfall der Sitten an. Die vorliegende Studie greift diesen scheinbaren Widerspruch auf und untersucht exemplarisch vier Prosatexte der Autoren Herman Heijermans, J. van Oudshoorn, Hendrik Marsman und Paul van Ostaijen. Wie stellen sie die Stadt dar? Welche Metaphern verwenden sie? Und wie lassen sich die Texte in der Tradition der europäischen Großstadtdarstellung verorten? Eng am Text arbeitend, nuanciert die Untersuchung anhand zahlreicher Zitate, Kommentare und Hintergrundinformationen nicht nur die bisherige literaturhistorische Einordnung der einzelnen Autoren, sondern setzt sich darüber hinaus kritisch mit der in der niederländischen Philologie verbreiteten These eines verspäteten Aufgreifens des Modernismus auseinander.
