Das Musil-Forum, Publikationsorgan der Internationalen Robert-Musil-Gesellschaft, ist eine interdisziplinäre Plattform für die Erforschung der Literatur der klassischen Moderne (ca. 1890-1945), der österreichischen Literatur des 20. Jahrhunderts und insbesondere des Werks von Robert Musil (1880-1942). Band 34 hat den besonderen Themenschwerpunkt "Robert Musil und der Erste Weltkrieg". Er bietet Aufsätze, die die Bedeutung der Urkatastrophe des 20. Jahrhunderts für den k. u. k. Offizier Musil (und ausgewählte zeitgenössische Autoren) ausloten, Musils direkte Thematisierungen des Krieges in literarischen und pragmatischen Genres mustern und weiterführende kulturtheoretische Implikationen in den Blick nehmen. Dabei werden unterschiedliche Zugänge und Beurteilungen vorgestellt. Außerdem präsentiert der Band neue Quellenfunde und hat einen umfangreichen Rezensionsteil.

"Fragmented, buried, and largely lost, the classical past presents formidable obstacles to anyone who would seek to know it. 'Deep Classics' is the study of these obstacles and, in particular, of the way in which the contemplation of the classical past resembles -- and has even provided a model for -- other kinds of human endeavor. This v. offers a new way to understand the modalities and aims of Classics itself, through the ages. Its individual chapters draw fruitful connections between the reception of the classical and current concerns in philosophy of mind, cognitive theory, epistemology, media studies, sense studies, aesthetics, queer theory and eco-criticism. What does the study of the ancient past teach us about our encounters with our own more recent but still elusive memories? What do our always partial reconstructions of ancient sites tell us about the limits of our ability to know our own world, or to imagine our future? What does the reader of the lacunose and corrupted literatures of antiquity learn thereby about literature and language themselves? What does a shattered statue reveal about art, matter, sensation, experience, life? Does the way in which these vestiges of the past are encountered -- sitting in a library, standing in a gallery, moving through a ruin -- condition our responses to them and alter their significance? And finally, how has the contemplation of antiquity helped to shape seemingly unrelated disciplines, including not only other humanistic and scientific epistemologies but also non-scholarly modes and practices? In asking these and similar questions, Deep Classics makes a pointed intervention in the study of the classical tradition, now more widely known as 'reception studies'."--Bloomsbury Publishing Fragmented, buried, and largely lost, the classical past presents formidable obstacles to anyone who would seek to know it.

"Empirical models based on ancient Near Eastern literature and variations between different textual traditions have been used to lend credibility to the identification of the sources behind biblical literature and the different editorial layers. In this volume, empirical models are used to critique the exaggerated results of identifying sources and editorial layers by demonstrating that, even though much of ancient literature had such complex literary histories, our methods are often inadequate for the task of precisely identifying sources and editorial layers"--
