While we often think about talented artists fleeing the clutches of the Nazi regime - forced out or sickened by the strictures placed upon them - we rarely consider those artists who willingly stayed behind. This is the first comprehensive treatment of the German Art Society, a group of artists, authors and right-wing activists who actively embraced Nazism.

Essays in this volume seek to clarify the meaning of tragedy and the tragic in its many German contexts, art forms, and disciplines, from literature and philosophy to music, painting, and history. The many catastrophes of German history have often been described as tragic. Consequently, German literature, music, philosophy, painting, and even architecture are rich in tragic connotations. Yet exactly what "tragedy" and "thetragic" may mean requires clarification. The poet creates a certain artful shape and trajectory for raw experience by "putting it into words"; but does putting such experience into words (or paintings or music or any other form) betray suffering by turning it into mere art? Or is it art that first turns mere suffering into tragic experience by revealing and clarifying its deepest dimension? What are we talking about, exactly, when we talk about tragic experience and tragic art, especially in an age in which, according to Hannah Arendt, evil has become banal? Does banality muffle or even annul the tragic? Does tragedy take suffering and transform it into beauty, as Schiller thought?Is it in the interest of truth for suffering to be "beautiful"? Is it possible that poetry, music, and art are important because they in fact create the meaning of suffering? Or is suffering only suffering and not accessible to meaning, tragic or otherwise? This book comprises essays that seek to clarify the meaning of tragedy and the tragic in its many German contexts, art forms, and disciplines, from literature and philosophy to music, painting, and history.

Für die Kulturgeschichte des westlichen Abendlandes seit der Antike sind Imaginationen von Farben in Literatur und Kunst konstitutiv. Besonders das christliche Mittelalter bedient sich der Farben, vielfach in Form einer bildkünstlerischen oder sprachlich erzeugten Zusammensetzung monochromer Flächen, um etwa die Substantiierung des Göttlichen in den "colores" zur Anschauung zu bringen oder Aspekte des sozialen Status von Personen, höfischer Pracht oder sozialer Unordnung darzulegen. Zu zeigen gilt es, dass Farben mithin im Rahmen kultureller Selbstvergewisserungsdebatten auch in Literatur und Kunst als sinngenerierende Medien und keineswegs als bloßes Dekorum fungieren. Die in diesem Band versammelten Beiträge gehen davon aus, dass die vielfältigen Verfahren der Farbevokation, wie sie in Literatur und Kunst vom Mittelalter bis zur Gegenwart begegnen, Teil jener historisch allererst präzise zu ermittelnden Selbstbeschreibungsverfahren sind, die Konzepte von gesellschaftlicher und personaler Identität erzeugen. An exemplarischen Erzähltexten aus Mittelalter und Neuzeit sowie an Beispielen aus der Kunstgeschichte erarbeiten die Autoren einerseits poetologisch-ästhetische Implikationen von Farballusionen und andererseits deren diskurshistorische Zusammenhänge. Der Band umfasst in seinem Kern Arbeiten zu den Farbsemantiken in der höfischen Erzählliteratur. Ausgehend von diesem Zentrum werden die Farbdiskurse der neueren Literatur exemplarisch erörtert. Dies geschieht z. B. an Goethes Farbenlehre, dem Antikediskurs der deutschen Klassik oder an rassistischen Farbstereotypen im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert. Darüber hinaus werden die Funktionen von Blutseiten in spätmittelalterlichen Handschriften erörtert, die Rezeption von Pontormo in Video-Klang-Installationen der Gegenwartskunst sowie die Farben der Karthographie.
