Abstract

"Individuality" is one of the central categories of modern society. Can the roots of modern individuality be found in pre-modern times ? Or is our way of thinking about ourselves a very recent phenomenon ? This book takes a theoretical approach to the problem, derived from Niklas Luhmann’s system theory, in which different forms of individuality are linked to different structures of society in modern and pre-modern times. The papers in this volume approach this problem by discussing a broad variety of medieval and early modern sources, including charters and seals, letters, and naming-practices in a late medieval town. Self-representation is also considered, in "housebooks" and drawings. Textual studies include autobiography in german humanism, and concepts of individuality and gender in late medieval literary texts.

Abstract

Die Studie untersucht frühromantische Individualitätskonzepte und ihre Aktualität in Literatur und Philosophie der ästhetischen Moderne nach 1945. Ausgehend von Novalis' philosophischen Reflexionen zur intersubjektiven Verfaßtheit des Ich wird die poetische Konstruktion des Selbst in seinem literarischen Werk herausgearbeitet. Ein zentrales Problem der Subjektivitätsphilosophie, die Vermittlung von Gefühl und Gedanke, wird hier in Motiven der Zweigeschlechtlichkeit des Ich, des Traumbewußtseins sowie der Liebesutopie verhandelt und in eine Ethik der 'Lebenskunst' überführt. Diese Verbindung von Philosophie und Literatur, Ethik und Ästhetik ist Kennzeichen der Romantik-Rezeption nach 1945. Dies wird exemplarisch anhand der Werke Ingeborg Bachmanns, Christa Wolfs und Michel Foucaults gezeigt. Das Interesse der Autorinnen gilt der Überschreitung der Geschlechteropposition in der Frühromantik. Bei Foucault werden ästhetische Widerstandspraktiken im Blick auf die moderne Pluralisierung von Diskurs- und Machtformationen entwickelt. Die Arbeit weist sowohl die Novalis-Rezeption der genannten Autorinnen und Autoren nach, als auch die produktive Fortentwicklung seiner Konzeption unter den Bedingungen einer Literatur und Ethik 'nach Auschwitz'.

Abstract

Michael Levenson, author of the acclaimed A Genealogy of Modernism, devotes this second book to the complex question of the self, the individual subject, as it undergoes various transitions throughout the period we designate 'modernist'. The book is an elaborate and compelling engagement with the problem of individuality in our age, structured around a sophisticated reading of eight major novels by Conrad, James, Forster, Madox Ford, Lewis, Lawrence, Joyce and Woolf. Professor Levenson takes account of the large body of modern theoretical writing on this topic, and his study will be of interest to theorists, cultural historians, and literary scholars in equal measure. It addresses issues (the crisis of liberalism, challenge to Eurocentrism, advance of bureaucracy, contest between men and women) still of crucial concern in our culture, showing that the problem, when it comes to locating the self within the entanglements of a community, is one of defining a formal concept while at the same time preserving a moral value.
