"This volume re-examines traditional interpretations of the rise of modern aesthetics in eighteenth-century Britain and Germany. It provides a new account that connects aesthetic experience with morality, science, and political society. In doing so, the book challenges longstanding teleological narratives that emphasize disinterestedness and the separation of aesthetics from moral, cognitive, and political interests. The chapters are divided into three thematic parts. The chapters in Part I demonstrate the heteronomy of eighteenth-century British aesthetics. They chart the evolution of aesthetic concepts and discuss the ethical and political significance of the aesthetic theories of several key figures, namely the third Earl of Shaftesbury, David Hume, and Adam Smith. Part II explores the ways in which eighteenth-century German thinkers examine aesthetic experience and moral concerns and relate to the work of their British counterparts. The chapters here cover the work of Kant, Moses Mendelssohn, Alexander Gottlieb Baumgarten, and Madame de Staël. Finally, Part III explores the interrelation of science, aesthetics, and a new model of society in the work of Goethe, Johann Wilhelm Ritter, Friedrich Hölderlin, and William Hazlitt, among others. This volume develops unique discussions of the rise of aesthetic autonomy in the eighteenth century. In bringing together well-known scholars working on British and German eighteenth-century aesthetics, philosophy, and literature, it will appeal to scholars and advanced students in a range of disciplines who are interested in this topic.".

Figure à part dans le romantisme anglais, William Hazlitt (1778-1830) s’éveille à l’heure des grandes espérances suscitées par la Révolution Française, et reste fidèle aux idées de sa jeunesse dans un monde qu’il voit souillé par la trahison et les compromissions. "Jacobin" impénitent, admirateur de Bonaparte dans l’Angleterre d’après Waterloo, idéaliste amer et amoureux déçu, ses talents de styliste lui valent une place à lui dans les revues de l’après-guerre, où il exerce une sorte de magistère solitaire et subversif. Traversant les domaines les plus variés, du commentaire de l’actualité à la philosophie morale, de l’étude de la société à la critique littéraire et artistique, Hazlitt est l’un des grands essayistes de la tradition anglaise. Ce misanthrope est un polémiste incendiaire, qui ne cesse de brocarder le conformisme et la lâcheté de ses contemporains, et oppose à la complaisance bourgeoise qu’elle soit conservatrice ou progressiste d’infinies illustrations du mal radical qu’il perçoit comme inséparable de la nature humaine. Mais ce Saturne est aussi un Mercure. Sa politique du pire a pour complément une certaine idée de l’authenticité : celle des passions, du souvenir, de la pensée et du génie. Rejetant à la fois le rationalisme utilitariste et la religiosité de certains romantiques, il est l’apologiste du chatoiement de l’expérience vécue et de la fougue, dans la vie comme dans l’art. Son écriture, tour à tour proliférante et lapidaire, savante et cinglante, intime et analytique, est à l’image d’une pensée mouvante et irréductiblement singulière, l’une des premières sans doute à faire l’anatomie détaillée de la culture et de la société modernes, à scruter l’esprit des temps pour mieux en dénoncer l’appauvrissement et les impasses. Voici quelques-uns de ses essais les plus célèbres, pour la plupart rassemblés en volume en 1826 sous le titre du Franc-Parleur. On a voulu qu’ils soient représentatifs de la diversité comme de la cohérence de son œuvre, celle d’un prosateur étincelant pour qui la parole la plus excessive était toujours préférable à la torpeur des lieux communs.

Zensur, männliche, familiäre und sexuelle Gewalt, Krieg und Terrorismus, Shoah, medizinische, theatrale und performative Gewalt - Gewaltformen sind in zahlreichen Bereichen sichtbar. Dabei hat Gewalt selbst keinen festen Ort, vielmehr befindet sie sich in permanenten Umformungsprozessen. Während Gewalt in der Literatur vielfach kulturkritische Implikationen hat, erweist sich die Gewalt der Literatur als selbstreflexiv. Der Sammelband analysiert, wie diskursive Gewaltformen ästhetisch geformt werden, wie die gesellschaftliche Gewalt auf literarische Texte zurückwirkt und wie literarische Texte selbst Einfluss auf gesellschaftliche Gewaltformationen nehmen. Das den vorliegenden Band strukturierende Untersuchungsinstrument - Gewaltformen/Gewalt formen - bietet einen übergreifenden theoretisch-methodischen Ansatz: Die literarische Vertextung von Gewalt wird über die Kategorie der Formung mit der Diskursivität der Literatur verbunden.
