Landscape, as it appears and is described throughout the works of Bernardo Carvalho and Robert Walser, provides an excellent-yet virtually unexplored-pathway to the authors' literary projects. The landscape functions here as a synthetic and unifying figure that triggers, at first, through the analysis of its description per se, the main and most evident elements of the authors' works. However, when sustained as a methodological figure beyond the scope of its own description, the landscape soon reveals a darker, far more fascinating and far less explored side of the authors' oeuvres: a vengeful, seemingly defeatist resentment against the status quo, which gives way to the more latent and biting elements of the authors' prose, such as irony, the unheimlich, an anti-heroic agenda, the apocalyptic aesthetics of a disaster-prone fictional world, as well as an understanding of history and literature through the figures of failure and marginality. By drawing from diverse critical traditions from Latin-America and Europe, this comparative text seeks to unravel, in all of its complexity and scope, the fictional stage upon which Walser's and Carvalho's characters narrate, with their dying breath, a world that is slowly undoing itself.

Conceived as a companion volume to his Onomastics of the Song of Roland (2017), Beckmann's eighteen Collected Essays on Old French Epic Poetry presents a multi-faceted panorama about the origins of the ancient chansons de geste. It includes the chansons of Ogier, Roland, William (Guillaume), Saxon epic poetry, the Pilgrimage of Charlemagne and Berthe with the Big Feet, and Renaut de Montauban. Der Band ist vor allem gedacht als companion volume zu Gustav Adolf Beckmanns Onomastik des Rolandsliedes (2017). Wie dort bestimmen auch hier zwei zentrale Aspekte den Großteil des Bildes, doch hier gestreut über die altfranzösische Epik als Gattung: Fragen der Onomastik und solche der Historizität des Dargestellten. Auch hier greifen sie meist sogar ineinander: Personennamen wie Audegarius (+ Oscheri) ~ Oggero Spatacurta ~ Ogier, Malduit der Schatzmeister, (Ricardus) Baligan, Nikephóros ~ Hugue li Forz, Witburg ~ Wigburg ~ Guibourc, Alpais, A(da)lgis (→ Malgis/Amalgis), Toponyme wie Belin, Lucena ~ Luiserne, Worms ~ Garmaise, Dortmund ~ Tremoigne, Esch-sur-Sûre ~ Ascane, Avroy ~ Auridon ~ Oridon ~ Dordone, Pierrepont sowie das doppelte Hydronym Rura ~ Rune und Erunia ~ Rune bringen jeweils ein Stück ihrer aufschlussreichen Geschichte mit sich. Die Texte sind in ihrer ursprünglichen Erscheinungsform belassen, doch sämtlich aus der Forschungsperspektive des Jahres 2018 durchgesehen und, wo nötig, mit einem Postskriptum versehen. So entsteht ein facettenreiches Panorama zur Entstehung der älteren Chansons de geste - von der Ogier-, Rolands-, Wilhelms- und Sachsenepik über Pèlerinage de Charlemagne und Berthe au(x) grand(s) Pied(s) bis zu Renaut de Montauban.

"The work of Carlo Michelstaedter (1887-1910) is the first analysis of modernist philosophy as analyzed in strict connection with social changes in mass society. Revealing how Michelstaedter was able to unveil the relations between pivotal early-modernist philosophies and social restructurings, The Wreckage of Philosophy examines the ongoing processes of "specialization," "rationalization," and "atomization." The Wreckage of Philosophy points out how Michelstaedter connected the main theoretical expressions of Modernism with the decisive social transformations of the early-twentieth century, taking into consideration the key players of modernist philosophy, such as Friedrich Nietzsche, Henri Bergson, Ernst Mach, and William James. By following Michelstaedter's analysis and strategies, The Wreckage of Philosophy focuses on several intertwined issues: the distinct philosophical positions within the modernist area; the connections between philosophy and modernist literature; the relations between intellectual positions and social upheavals; and the early-twentieth century links among traditional philosophy, critique of language, and epistemology of technique. A complete analysis of Carlo Michelstaedter's philosophy, this book analyses his work as one of the sharpest investigation of the practical and ideological mechanisms that assure social consent."--
