"Die hier versammelten Beiträge rekonstruieren in Detailstudien die Geschichte einer Poetisierung der Blindheit. Mitte des 18. Jahrhunderts stellte Diderot die Weichen für eine Überführung der theologischen und anthropologischen Zuschreibung auf das Gebiet der Ästhetik. Der Weg dieser Interpretationen führt von einer im Aufklärungskontext als defizitär verstandenen Blindheit und einer rigorosen Privilegierung des Gesichtssinns über eine Diffusion der Wahrnehmungsgrenzen um 1800 bis hin zur Stilisierung von Blindheit als "Grenzwert der sprachlichen Darstellung." Die Studien konzentrieren sich auf poetologische Fragestellungen und zeigen die Relevanz fer Blindheitsdiskurse in der Literatur von 1750 bis 1850 am Beispiel 'kanonisierter' Texte u. a. von Gellert, Georg Friedrich Meier, Kleist, Hölderlin, Jean Paul, Charlotte von Kalb, Goethe, Hoffmann sowie Mörike und Stifter."--Page 4 of cover.

Homer, Milton, Ossian: Die Ästhetikgeschichte der Blindheit betrifft visuelle Modernität in ihrem Kern. Dies wird für Frankreich und für Deutschland zwischen 1750 und 1850 gezeigt: Das "schwarze Licht" eines Sehens, das nicht im Gesehenen aufgeht, schafft eine mächtige Gegenerzählung zu triumphalischen Aufklärungsphantasmen und zur verwissenschaftlichten Objektivierung des Blicks. Die Negation des menschlichen Königssinnes gerät immer deutlicher zur Selbstbegründungsstrategie des Ästhetischen. Das Korpus führt in drei Schritten eine Genealogie ästhetischer Strategien der visuellen Negativität vor: von der sensualistischen Erkenntniskritik des Starstich-Experiments über die idealistische Verschränkung von Nicht-Sein und positiviertem Sein in der Figur des blinden Sängers bis zum transitorisch gebrochenen Blick der Avantgarde. Diskutiert werden philosophische Modelle von Holbach und Herder bis zum Deutschen Idealismus. Neben zwei umfangreicheren Kapiteln zur Blindheit bei Diderot und bei Jean Paul sind u.a. Blindentexte von Rousseau, Chateaubriand, Hugo, Nerval, Gautier und Baudelaire ausgewählt. Der Blinde gerät ebenso zum Zeichen eines verlorenen metaphysischen Blicks wie zur Projektionsfläche des autonom gewordenen Scheins. Über die Negativität des Sehens wird die säkulare Selbstsakralisierung der Poesie um 1800 schließlich gegen 1900 auf die Photographie als Kunstform übertragen. Die Arbeit wurde mit dem Hugo Friedrich und Erich Köhler-Forschungspreis für Romanische Literaturwissenschaft ausgezeichnet.

"Debunks stereotypes about blindness, in which readers, receivers and spectators from antiquity to the present have been implicated because their persistence relies on audiences to perpetuate them. Argues for a new way of seeing - and of understanding classical reception - using assemblage-thinking and with a focus on the theatre"--

The three-volume life-story of the Egyptian intellectual Tahah Husayn (1889-1973) is a landmark in modern autobiography, in Arabic letters, and in the literature of blindness. This justly celebrated text, however, has never been subjected to the sustained literary analysis here presented by Fedwa Malti-Douglas. Born into a modest family and blinded in childhood, Husayn nevertheless conquered first his own and then a European educational system to become one of his country's leading modernizers. Professor Malti-Douglas shows that the personal, social, and literary reality of the hero's blindness gives the autobiography its unity and force. Blindness and Autobiography is not only a rich explication of al-Ayyam but a pioneering study of the interaction between a severe physical handicap and the autobiographical process. It adds a new perspective to the contemporary discussion of the cultural uses of the body.The first part of the book explores blindness and society, from the evolving conflict between personal and social conceptions of the handicap to the way blindness redefines the more familiar issues of traditional versus modern, East versus West. The second section examines the relationship of blindness to the autobiography's ecriture, rhetoric, and narration.Originally published in 1988.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

An examination of the ways in which late medieval lyric poetry can be seen to engage with contemporary medical theory. This book argues that late medieval love poets, from Petrarch to Machaut and Charles d'Orléans, exploit scientific models as a broad framework within which to redefine the limits of the lyric subject and his body. Just as humoral theory depends upon principles of likes and contraries in order to heal, poetry makes possible a parallel therapeutic system in which verbal oppositions and substitutions counter or rewrite received medical wisdom. The specific case of blindness, a disability that according to the theories of love that predominated in the late medieval West foreclosed the possibility of love, serves as a laboratory in which to explore poets' circumvention of the logical limits of contemporary medical theory. Reclaiming the power of remedy from physicians, these late medieval French and Italian poets prompt us to rethink not only the relationship between scientific and literary authority at the close of the middle ages, but, more broadly speaking, the very notion of therapy. Julie Singer is Assistant Professor of French at Washington University, St Louis.
