Die Texte Friederike Mayröckers kreisen um die unhintergehbare Gebundenheit des sprechenden Subjekts an den Körper – dessen Kontingenz und Endlichkeit. Die vorliegende Untersuchung widmet sich Aspekten von Körperlichkeit in der Prosa Mayröckers unter Rekurs auf Ansätze der poststrukturalistischen Psychoanalyse, der Diskursanalyse und der Dekonstruktion. Die Auseinandersetzung mit Leiblichkeit in der Prosa der Autorin ist, so zeigt die Untersuchung, durch kulturell und historisch spezifische (Körper-)Normen präfiguriert, wie sie durch die verbalen und visuellen Texte Salvador Dalís, André Bretons, Max Ernsts, Paul Éluards oder Francis Bacons vermittelt werden, auf die Mayröckers Prosa (implizit und explizit) referiert. Als charakteristisch für diese Texte erweist sich, bei all ihrer Heterogenität, deren interdiskursive Relation zu dem von Jean-Martin Charcot geprägten Hysteriediskurs, der unter Rückgriff auf Foucault nicht als Effekt eines pathologischen Syndroms verstanden wird, sondern als eine kulturell kodierte Körpersemiotik, die auch ästhetische Konfigurationen aus der religiösen Ikonographie einschließt und an den Körpern der Texte Mayröckers als Verschränkung ›hysterischer‹ und ›mystischer‹ Ausdrucksformen sichtbar wird. Daß es sich bei diesen Körpern – entgegen einem dominanten Topos der Mayröcker-Forschung – nicht um geschlechtsneutrale Körper handelt, kann anhand der von Lacan formulierten Theorie der Intersubjektivität aufgezeigt werden.

The stimulating mix of academics and practising poets that have contributed to this volume provides an unusual and illuminating integration of critical and creative practice and a vibrantly diverse approach to questions of poetry and sexuality. Each section of essays is complemented by poems which creatively illustrate or develop the theme with which the essays critically engage. Rather than being limited to a specific genre, tradition, time or place, this collection seeks to make a virtue of contrast, comparison and juxtaposition. The collection is arranged into sections that range broadly across the thematic ground of dichotomies, traditions and revisions, microscopic and macroscopic perspectives, women and embodiment, and the notion of play and performance. Positioning eighteenth-century tinkers ballads alongside medieval Hebrew lyrics and the Blues of Gorgeous Puddin’, or making Dionysus rub shoulders with Sharon Olds and Mrs Rochester provides new perspectives on familiar material and valuable insights into more obscure work and the nature of sensual poetry as a mode of expression. As the editors suggest, the essays and poems presented collectively argue that writings about sexuality are always already about the way poets see and represent our bodies, the world and poetic language itself.

Judith H. Anderson conceives the intertext as a relation between or among texts that encompasses both Kristevan intertextuality and traditional relationships of influence, imitation, allusion, and citation. Like the Internet, the intertext is a state, or place, of potential expressed in ways ranging from deliberate emulation to linguistic free play. Relatedly, the intertext is also a convenient fiction that enables examination of individual agency and sociocultural determinism. Anderson’s intertext is allegorical because Spenser’s Faerie Queene is pivotal to her study and because allegory, understood as continued or moving metaphor, encapsulates, even as it magnifies, the process of signification. Her title signals the variousness of an intertext extending from Chaucer through Shakespeare to Milton and the breadth of allegory itself. Literary allegory, in Anderson’s view, is at once a mimetic form and a psychic one—a process thinking that combines mind with matter, emblem with narrative, abstraction with history. Anderson’s first section focuses on relations between Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales and Spenser’s The Faerie Queene, including the role of the narrator, the nature of the textual source, the dynamics of influence, and the bearing of allegorical narrative on lyric vision. The second centers on agency and cultural influence in a variety of Spenserian and medieval texts. Allegorical form, a recurrent concern throughout, becomes the pressing issue of section three. This section treats plays and poems of Shakespeare and Milton and includes two intertextually relevant essays on Spenser.How Paradise Lost or Shakespeare’s plays participate in allegorical form is controversial. Spenser’s experiments with allegory revise its form, and this intervention is largely what Shakespeare and Milton find in his poetry and develop. Anderson’s book, the result of decades of teaching and writing about allegory, especially Spenserian allegory, will reorient thinking about fundamental critical issues and the landmark texts in which they play themselves out.
