What is the connection between the tempo of audiovisual images and the audience`s emotional experience? Examining the screwball comedy of the 30s and 40s, this study looks at comedy and hilarity as temporal structures. Exchanges of blows, puns, and verbal acrobatics are embedded in a complex composition of voices, facial expressions, gestures, and visual constructions. The audience experiences and enjoys combat and rage as an elegant pas de deux.

Am Gegenstand der Screwball Comedy wird diese Frage erörtert: Die Filme des klassischen Hollywood-Genres der 1930er und 1940er präsentieren rasante Gespräche, Schlagabtausch, Wortwitz und Sprachakrobatik einer Paarinteraktion. Komik und Heiterkeit werden in erster Linie dadurch gestaltet, wie Gesten, Mimiken, Stimmen und Redeäußerungen zeitlich in das filmische Bild eingebettet sind. Vor diesem Hintergrund wird erörtert, welcher grundsätzliche Zusammenhang zwischen Bewegungsqualitäten und Affektivität besteht bzw. wie die zeitliche Gestaltung audiovisueller Bilder mit den verschiedenen Modi des Zuschauergefühls verbunden ist. In den Screwball Comedies ist das Empfinden oftmals kontrastiv-komisch gestaltet: Interaktionen von Streit und Wut werden als eleganter Tanz einer Paarbewegung wahrnehmbar. Durch diese Perspektive wird das Verhältnis von Sprachäußerung, Schauspiel und Filmbild sehr grundsätzlich befragt. Das heitere Zuschauergenießen ist weniger an narrative Handlungen gebunden als an ästhetisch-expressive Orchestrierungen, Taktungen und verkörperte Bedeutungen.

Nietzsche's metaphor of the spider that spins its cobweb expresses his critique of the metaphysical use of language - but it also suggests that ‟we, spiders‟, are able to spin different, life-affirming, healthier, non-metaphysical cobwebs. This book is a collection of 12 essays that focus not only on Nietzsche's critique of the metaphysical assumptions of language, but also on his effort to use language in a different way, i.e., to create a ‟new language‟. It is from this viewpoint that the book considers such themes as consciousness, the self, metaphor, instinct, affectivity, style, morality, truth, and knowledge. The authors invited to contribute to this volume are Nietzsche scholars who belong to some of the most important research centers of the European Nietzsche-Research: Centro Colli-Montinari (Italy), GIRN (Europhilosphie), SEDEN (Spain), Greifswald Research Group (Germany), NIL (Portugal). In 2011 João Constâncio and Maria João Mayer Branco edited Nietzsche on Instinct and Language, also published by Walter de Gruyter. The two books complement each other.

The volume offers various considerations of Nietzsche's attempt to connect language to the instinctive activity of the human body. In focusing on how Nietzsche tries to dissolve the traditional opposition between instinct and language, as well as between instinct and consciousness and instinct and reason, the different papers address a great variety of topics, e.g. morality, value, the concept of philosophy, dogmatism, naturalization, metaphor, affectivity and emotion, health and sickness, tragedy, and laughter. Among the authors: Scarlett Marton, Werner Stegmaier, Patrick Wotling, and many ot
