Abstract

Delight in other people's errors never dates, and this little book, first published in 1893, is a fount of human folly and a joy to read. Its compiler, Henry Benjamin Wheatley (1838-1917), was a distinguished librarian, bibliographer and scholar, and a prolific author on London history and the history of books. This publication displays his great sense of humour, and his effortless command of far-flung sources in the search for a good joke. Citing examples from historians to misguided schoolboys, as well as from everyday conversation, Wheatley looks at comic misprints, misunderstandings, and garbled English in foreign parts. However, the book also has a more serious contribution to make: the chapter on printed errata makes use of the earliest evidence of proof correction by authors, and the analysis of misprints in early printing shows how many variant readings in the works of Shakespeare came about.

Abstract

Der Irrtum ist nicht nur Teil der anthropologischen Grundbestimmung des Menschen und Movens der philosophischen Wahrheitssuche, sondern auch ein wesentliches Element literarischer Gestaltung, etwa als dramaturgisch notwendiger Fehltritt (Hamartia), als ein Überraschung generierendes Ereignis und als Initiator oder Komplize des Zufalls, des Schicksals oder des Unbewussten und Verdrängten. Literarische Figurationen des Irrtums sind auf verschiedenen Ebenen des Erzählens nachweisbar: auf Figuren- und Erzählerebene, in thematischer wie struktureller Hinsicht sowie als poetologisches Prinzip, d.h. etwa im Verhältnis zwischen (ironischem) Text und seinen Leser*innen. Der vorliegende Aufsatzband geht dem Irrtum als ungeplanter Abweichung vom Erwarteten und, damit verbunden, dem kreativen und produktiven Potential in seiner literarischen und poetologischen Gestaltung nach.

Abstract

What is going on when a graphic novel has a twelfth-century samurai pick up a telephone to make a call, or a play has an ancient aristocrat teaching in a present-day schoolroom? Rather than regarding such anachronisms as errors, Samurai with Telephones develops a theory of how texts can use different types of anachronisms to challenge or rewrite history, play with history, or open history up to new possibilities. By applying this theoretical framework of anachronism to several Japanese literary and cultural works, the book demonstrates how different texts can use anachronism to open up history for a wide variety of different textual projects. From the modern period, author Christopher Smith examines literature by Mori Ōgai and Ōe Kenzaburō, manga by Tezuka Osamu, art by Murakami Takashi, and a variety of other pop cultural works. Turning to the Early Modern period (Edo period, 1600-1868), which produced a literature rich with playful anachronism, he also examines several Kabuki and Bunraku plays, kibyōshi comic books, and gōkan illustrated novels. In analyzing these works, he draws a distinction between anachronisms that attempt to hide their work on history and convincingly rewrite it and those conspicuous anachronisms that highlight and disrupt the construction of historical narratives.
