Abstract

What is a woman? What is a man? How do they—and how should they—relate to each other? Does our yearning for "wholeness" refer to something real, and if there is a Whole, what is it, and why do we feel so estranged from it? For centuries now, art and literature have increasingly valorized uniqueness and self-sufficiency. The theoreticians who loom so large within contemporary thought also privilege difference over similarity. Silverman reminds us that this is but half the story, and a dangerous half at that, for if we are all individuals, we are doomed to be rivals and enemies. A much older story, one that prevailed through the early modern era, held that likeness or resemblance was what organized the universe, and that everything emerges out of the same flesh. Silverman shows that analogy, so discredited by much of twentieth-century thought, offers a much more promising view of human relations. In the West, the emblematic story of turning away is that of Orpheus and Eurydice, and the heroes of Silverman's sweeping new reading of nineteenth- and twentieth-century culture, the modern heirs to the old, analogical view of the world, also gravitate to this myth. They embrace the correspondences that bind Orpheus to Eurydice and acknowledge their kinship with others past and present. The first half of this book assembles a cast of characters not usually brought together: Friedrich Nietzsche, Sigmund Freud, Marcel Proust, Lou-Andréas Salomé, Romain Rolland, Rainer Maria Rilke, Wilhelm Jensen, and Paula Modersohn-Becker. The second half is devoted to three contemporary artists, whose works we see in a moving new light:Terrence Malick, James Coleman, and Gerhard Richter.

Abstract

Rather than see love as a natural form of affection, Love As Human Freedom sees love as a practice that changes over time through which new social realities are brought into being. Love brings about, and helps us to explain, immense social-historical shifts—from the rise of feminism and the emergence of bourgeois family life, to the struggles for abortion rights and birth control and the erosion of a gender-based division of labor. Drawing on Hegel, Paul A. Kottman argues that love generates and explains expanded possibilities for freely lived lives. Through keen interpretations of the best known philosophical and literary depictions of its topic—including Shakespeare, Plato, Nietzsche, Ovid, Flaubert, and Tolstoy—his book treats love as a fundamental way that we humans make sense of temporal change, especially the inevitability of death and the propagation of life.

Abstract

Long description: 'Postkolonialismus und Kanon' – der Band erhellt einen blinden Fleck: 'Theoretische Studien' beziehen sich auf die Kriterien für einen evaluativen Umgang mit Literatur in postkolonialer Perspektive, eine Kritik der doppelten Standards in den Postkolonialen Studien, das Spannungsfeld von Kanon, Weltliteratur, Interkulturalität und Postkolonialismus und die Exklusionsmechanismen des literarischen Kanons. Das Spektrum der 'Fallstudien' reicht von der Ästhetik des Erhabenen über den Faszinationsraum: ›Inneres Afrika‹ im 19. Jahrhundert, den literarischen Antisemitismus, den binneneuropäischen Kolonialismus und den Postkolonialismus-Boom in der späten DDR-Literatur bis zur aktuellen deutschsprachigen afrikanischen Migrationsliteratur. Die Beiträge gehen zurück auf eine Tagung, die der Trierer Sonderforschungsbereich 600 'Armut und Fremdheit. Wandel von Inklusions- und Exklusionsformen von der Antike bis zur Gegenwart' gemeinsam mit dem DFG-Netzwerk 'Postkoloniale Studien' veranstaltet hat. Biographical note: Herbert Uerlings, Professor für Neuere deutsche Literaturwissenschaft an der Universität Trier, Sprecher des SFB 600 Fremdheit und Armut. Seit Poetiken der Interkulturalität (1997) zahlreiche Veröffentlichungen im Bereich der Interkulturellen Germanistik/Postkolonialen Studien. Iulia-Karin Patrut, Dr., Mitarbeiterin im Teilprojekt Literarische Repräsentation von ‚Zigeunern‘ im SFB 600 Fremdheit und Armut; Veröffentlichungen im Bereich der Postkolonialen Studien.

Abstract

"Binhammer uses the methodologies of contemporary critical finance studies and narrative theory to argue that the myth of downward mobility is as central to the cultural history of capitalism as the myth of upward mobility. By exploring the relationship between economic growth and financial failure, she demonstrates how stories of downward mobility in eighteenth-century sentimental novels are not simple tales about the losers of capitalism but help manage the crises and speculative collapses that are inevitable to capital's circulation"--
