Abstract

Der Mangel an Urteilskraft ist eigentlich das, was man Dummheit nennt, und einem solchen Gebrechen ist gar nicht abzuhelfen.Immanuel KantEntgegen dieser Einschätzung von Kant, der offenbar jeden Versuch der Dummheit entgegenzuwirken für aussichtslos hielt, ist die europäische Literatur ein reiches Archiv voller Beispiele für den Kampf zwischen Dummheit und Witz. Die Ursprünge der abendländischen Kritik an der Dummheit liegen in der sokratischen Philosophie und der griechischen Tragödie. Der antike Kampf gegen die Unwissenheit findet seine Fortsetzung in der Gelehrtenkultur von Francesco Petrarca bis zu Goethes Faust und auch in der Geburt des Romans bei Cervantes und Rabelais. Das Gefecht gegen Unvernunft, Unwissenheit, Desinteresse und Einfalt hat seine Spuren bei Flaubert, Dostojewski und Thomas Mann hinterlassen. Sigmund Freud schrieb eine Abhandlung zum Witz und Robert Musil setzte sich mit dem Thema Dummheit auseinander. Achim Geisenhanslüke entwickelt über den Gegensatz von Dummheit und Witz eine Poetologie des Nichtwissens sowie eine Kulturgeschichte der Ignoranz und des Vergessens, die bis in die Gegenwart reicht. Auch der heutige Umgang mit der Dummheit wird hinterfragt: Bisher ungeklärt war der systematische Ort des Nichtwissens in modernen gesellschaftlichen Prozessen. Welche Rolle kommt dem Nichtwissen in unserer Wissensgesellschaft zu?

Abstract

Andrew Bennett argues in this fascinating book that ignorance is part of the narrative and poetic force of literature and is an important aspect of its thematic focus: ignorance is what literary texts are about. He sees that the dominant conception of literature since the Romantic period involves an often unacknowledged engagement with the experience of not knowing. From Wordsworth and Keats to George Eliot and Charles Dickens, from Henry James to Joseph Conrad, from Elizabeth Bowen to Philip Roth and Seamus Heaney, writers have been fascinated and compelled by the question of ignorance, inclu

Abstract

"For as long as the US owed its prosperity to a New World plantation complex, from colonial settlement until well into the twentieth century, the toxic practices associated with its permutations stimulated imaginary solutions to contradiction of the nation's enlightenment ideals and republican ideology. Ideals of liberty, democracy, and individualism could not be separated from a history of forcible coercion, oligarchic power, and state-protected economic opportunism. While recent historical scholarship about what has been called "slavery's capitalism" explores the depths at which US ascension was indebted to global plantation slave economies, Hidden in Plain Sight probes how exemplary works of literature represented a society's determination to deny an open national sore. Difficult truths were hidden in plain sight, allowing beholders at once to recognize and disavow knowledge they would not act upon. What were the habits of mind that enabled free Americans to acknowledge what was intolerable yet act as if they did not? In what ways did non-slave-owning Americans imagine a relation to slavery that both admitted its iniquity and accepted its benefits? How did the reconfiguration of the plantation system after the Civil War, both at home and abroad, elicit new forms for dealing with its perpetuation of racial injustice, expropriation of labor, and exploitation for profit of the land? Hidden in Plain Sight examines exemplary nineteenth century works by Edgar Allen Poe, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Herman Melville, and Joel Chandler Harris to show how writers portrayed a nation founded on the unseen seen of slavery's capitalism"--
