Abstract

Die zeitgeschichtlichen Erfahrungen der jüdischen Gemeinschaft im wilhelminischen Deutschland waren insbesondere durch den Bedeutungsverlust des politischen Liberalismus, die Ausbreitung des modernen Antisemitismus und die innerjüdische Diskussion über jüdische Identität im Zeitalter von Emanzipation und 'Assimilation' geprägt. Vor diesem Hintergrund untersucht Christian Wiese die Auseinandersetzung der Wissenschaft des Judentums mit der protestantischen Theologie. Im Zentrum steht dabei die im Medium der Religionsgeschichte ausgefochtene Kontroverse zwischen liberalem Judentum und liberalem Protestantismus, zweier einander sehr nahe stehender Bewegungen, über das 'Wesen' von Christentum und Judentum. Im Spiegel der jüdischen Wahrnehmung zeigt Christian Wiese die geistige und soziale Wirkung der christlichen Zerrbilder des Judentums und vertritt so eine kritische Perspektive auf juden- und judentumsfeindliche Implikationen protestantischer Theologie im 19. und zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts. Er befaßt sich zudem mit der Tradition der protestantischen 'Judenmission' und beschreibt die erfolglose Vorgeschichte der heute in Deutschland erstmals selbstverständlichen Anerkennung der Judaistik oder der Jüdischen Studien als eigenständiger Wissenschaftsdisziplin. Damit entwickelt Christian Wiese Maßstäbe für die Diskussion über die Art der interdisziplinären Zusammenarbeit zwischen Judaistik und christlicher Theologie im gegenwärtigen wissenschaftspolitischen Kontext.

Abstract

The Austrian novelist Hermann Broch ranks with Kafka and Musil among the three greatest 20th-century Austrian novelists and belongs to the century's most gifted novelists in German from whatever country. He established his reputation with 'The Sleepwalkers', a trilogy of political and philosophical novels. His best-known work is 'The Death of Virgil', a long, challenging work in a lyrical, exuberant, and sometimes nearly incomprehensible style, a kind of cerebral stream-of-consciousness of the dying Virgil. Broch also wrote extensively about modern art and architecture, Hofmannsthal, and mass psychology. He has a special connection to Yale, as he lived the last years of his life there after having escaped Austria in 1938. The participants in the Yale Symposium of April 2001 are among the world's most prominent Broch scholars. Fourteen of their presentations have been extensively revised for this volume, which focuses on Broch as critic and as novelist and dramatist. Topics include Broch's views on kitsch and art, and on drama; his cultural criticism; his cooperation with Borgese and Arendt; his theory of mass psychology; history in his works, Ernst Kretschmer's influence on him; 'Virgil' and Celan's 'Atemwende'; Jean Starr Untermeyer's translation of 'Virgil'; guilt and the fall in 'Those without Guilt'; and Broch reception in Japan. PAUL MICHAEL LüTZELER is Distinguished University Professor of German at Washington University St. Louis and editor of Broch's collected works. MATTHIAS KONZETT is associate professor of German at Yale; WILLY RIEMER is associate professor of German at the University of Delaware, and CHRISTA SAMMONS is curator of the German collections of the Beinecke Library at Yale.

Abstract

Hermann Broch (1886-1951) is best known for his two major modernist works, The Sleepwalkers (3 vols., 1930-1932) and The Death of Virgil (1945), which frame a lifetime of ethical, cultural, political, and social thought. A textile manufacturer by trade, Broch entered the literary scene late in life with an experimental view of the novel that strove towards totality and vividly depicted Europe's cultural disintegration. As fascism took over and Broch, a Viennese Jew, was forced into exile, his view of literature as transformative was challenged, but his commitment to presenting an ethical view of the crises of his time was unwavering. An important mentor and interlocutor for contemporaries such as Arendt and Canetti as well as a continued inspiration for contemporary authors, Broch wrote to better understand and shape the political and cultural conditions for a postfascist world. This volume covers the major literary works and constitutes the first comprehensive introduction in English to Broch's political, cultural, aesthetic, and philosophical writings.

Abstract

Robert Musil und Hermann Broch antworteten zwischen den Weltkriegen auf eine Epoche der Katastrophen, der sie mit ihren in weltanschauliche Erlösungshoffnungen verstrickten Protagonisten nah auf den Leib rückten: eine Pathogenese der bürgerlichen Welt für die 1930er Jahre. Dass sie nach 1933 die Sehnsucht ihrer Zeitgenossen nach einer »Weltanschauung« immer ernster nahmen, hat die Nachgeborenen nicht selten irritiert. Doch bezeugt noch heute ihr »Weltanschauungsroman 2. Ordnung«, der hier erstmals entfaltet wird, das gewaltige historische Projekt, sich auf die Sprache der Zeit einzulassen und ihren fatalsten Tendenzen mit literarischer Einfühlung und kritischer Distanz nachzuspüren.

Abstract

The first English-language monograph on Hermann Broch's literary and theoretical work on mass hysteria. Austrian Jewish author Hermann Broch (1886-1951), a leading figure of European Modernism, spent decades attempting to understand the phenomenon of mass hysteria. With his work, he hoped to help protect society from the allure of mass hysteria, embodied in the fanatical appeal of National Socialism. He was torn between two approaches to the problem: using literature to diagnose and expose the irrational knowledge that underpins mass hysteria, and employing theory as a more precise and effective means of doing the same. In this first English-language monograph on the topic, Brett E. Sterling traces the development of Broch's understanding of the mass from an initial confrontation in 1918 to a recurring theme in his fiction and ultimately to the monumental but incomplete Massenwahntheorie (Theory of Mass Hysteria, 1939-48). In thorough readings of Broch's major fictional and theoretical works, the analysis centers on the question of how his literature and theory provide distinct but complementary approaches to conceiving and representing the elusive figure of the mass and the attendant experience of mass hysteria. With political extremism and conspiratorial thinking on the rise, Sterling makes the case that Broch's insights into mass hysteria - literary as well as theoretical - are of renewed relevance to a contemporary audience.

Abstract

Die Ikonen des Gesetzes fokussieren die Frage, wie absolut Mögliches ausgedrückt werden kann. Dazu werden Parallelen zwischen der bildenden Kunst, der Literatur, der Philosophie und der modernen Mathematik analysiert. Das Buch ist ein Schlüssel zum philosophischen Werk von Cacciari. Es ist lesbar als eine Ästhetik, die Cacciari mit dem Komponisten Luigi Nono erschlossen hat. Ihr gemeinsames Programm zielt auf die Sprengung des Kontinuums von Raum und Zeit, auf die Möglichkeit, die radikale Veränderung denkbar werden lässt. Das Nachwort orientiert über das philosophische Werk Cacciaris und dessen fragmentarische Rezeption in deutschen Übersetzungen.

Abstract

Forms of Exile in Jewish Literature and Thought deals with the concept of exile on many levels-from the literal to the metaphorical. It combines analyses of predominantly Jewish authors of Central Europe of the twentieth century who are not usually connected, including Kafka, Kraus, Levi, Lustig, Wiesel, and Frankl. It follows the typical routes that exiled writers took, from East to West and later often as far as America. The concept and forms of exile are analyzed from many different points of view and great importance is devoted especially to the forms of inner exile. In Forms of Exile in Jewish Literature and Thought, Bronislava Volková, an exile herself and thus intimately familiar with the topic through her own experience, develops a unique typology of exile that will enrich the field of intellectual and literary history of twentieth-century Europe and America.

Abstract

The life and works of one of the most difficult yet rewarding composers of modern time. Jean Barraqué is increasingly being recognized as one of the great composers of the second half of the 20th century. Though he left only seven works, his voice in each of them is unmistakeable, and powerful. He had no doubt of his responsibility, as a creator, to take his listeners on challenging adventures that could not but leave them changed. After the collapse of morality he had witnessed as a child growing up during the Second World War, and having taken notice of so much disarray in the culture around him, he set himself to make music that would, out of chaos, speak. Three others were crucial to him. One was Pierre Boulez, who, three years older, provided him with keys to a new musical language-a language more dramatic, driving and passionate than Boulez's. Another was Michel Foucault, to whom he was close personally for a while, and with whom he had a dialogue that was determinative for both of them. Finally, in the writings of Hermann Broch-and especially in the novel The Death of Virgil-he found the myth he needed to realize musically. He played for high stakes, and he took risks-with himself as in his art. Intemperate and difficult, even with his closest friends, he died in 1973 at the age of forty-five. Paul Griffiths was chief music critic for the London 'Times' (1982-92) and 'The New Yorker' (1992-96) and since 1996 has written regularly for the 'New York Times'. He has written books on Boulez, Cage, Messiaen, Ligeti, Davies, Bartók and Stravinsky, as well as several librettos, among them 'The Jewel Box' (Mozart, 1991), 'Marco Polo' (Tan Dun, 1996) and 'What Next?' (Elliott Carter, 1999).
