Abstract

Was gibt es Geheimnisvolleres als die Klarheit?' Mit diesem Diktum fragt Paul Valéry nach einer Kategorie, deren Bedeutung für die Ästhetik der Moderne bislang nicht gesehen worden ist. Denn so unbestritten ›Klarheit‹ und ›Deutlichkeit‹ seit der Aufklärung im Zentrum der Erkenntnistheorie stehen, so unterschätzt ist die Wirksamkeit beider Konzepte in der modernen Kunst, die sich nach allgemeiner Auffassung gerade durch ihre Dunkelheit und Uneindeutigkeit auszeichnen soll. Durch die Rekonstruktion der einschlägigen Diskussionen von der antiken Rhetorik, über Logik, Rhetorik und Poetik der Frühaufklärung bis zum ästhetischen Diskurs in der zweiten Hälfte des 18. Jahrhunderts verfolgt das Buch das Ziel, ›Klarheit‹ und ›Deutlichkeit‹ als eines der Paradigmen moderner Literatur zu etablieren und am Beispiel der Werke Georg Büchners und Adalbert Stifters zu spezifizieren.

Abstract

The decades around 1800 constitute the seminal period of European nationalism. The linguistic corollary of this was the rise of standard language ideology, from Finland to Spain, and from Iceland to the Habsburg Empire. Amidst these international events, the case of Dutch in the Netherlands offers a unique example. After the rise of the ideology from the 1750s onwards, the new discourse of one language–one nation was swiftly transformed into concrete top-down policies aimed at the dissemination of the newly devised standard language across the entire population of the newly established Dutch nation-state. Thus, the Dutch case offers an exciting perspective on the concomitant rise of cultural nationalism, national language planning and standard language ideology.This study offers a comprehensive yet detailed analysis of these phenomena by focussing on the ideology underpinning the new language policy, the institutionalisation of this ideology in metalinguistic discourse, the implementation of the policy in education, and the effects of the policy on actual language use.

Abstract

In his plays ‘Judith’, ‘Maria Magdalena’ and ‘Genoveva’ Friedrich Hebbel tells different stories about pregnancy. Working with theories from gender, queer, and embodiment studies the book focuses on textual constellations, in which the literary figures start to imagine the unborn in the female womb, think about the social consequences of an (illegitimate) pregnancy and reflect on birth and procreation as well as on concepts of body and gender. By combining research from literary studies with perspectives of the history of knowledge, the study further offers an innovative perspective on the presentation of pregnancy in dramatic plays of the 19th century. Die Dramen ‚Judith‘, ‚Genoveva‘ und ‚Maria Magdalena‘ Friedrich Hebbels rücken verschiedene Schwangerschaftsgeschichten prominent in Szene. Aus einem kulturwissenschaftlich inspirierten Blickwinkel werden jene Textkonstellationen betrachtet, in denen die weiblichen und männlichen Figuren das Ungeborene imaginieren, die Konsequenzen einer möglichen Schwangerschaft erörtern und über Zeugung, Körper, Geschlecht sowie Geburt reflektieren. Die Studie liefert damit einen innovativen Beitrag zur Literaturgeschichte des Dramas im 19. Jh. und zur Kultur- und Wissensgeschichte der Schwangerschaft.

Abstract

Living healthy is all one wants, but the genetics behind creation of every human is different. As a curse or human agony, some are born with congenital defects in their menu of the genome. Just one has to live with that! The complexity of cystic fibrosis condition, which is rather a slow-killer, affects various organ systems of the human body complicating further with secondary infections. That's what makes the disease so puzzling for which scientists around the world are trying to understand better and to find a cure. Though they narrowed down to a single target gene, the tentacles of the disease reach many unknown corners of the human body. Decades of scientific research in the field of chronic illnesses like this one surely increased the level of life expectancy. This book is the compilation of interesting chapters contributed by eminent interdisciplinary scientists around the world trying to make the life of cystic fibrosis patients better.
