João Guimarães Rosa (1908-1967) ist der wichtigste Romancier Brasiliens aus der Zeit seiner literarischen Schaffensperiode in der Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts. Von 1938-1942 wirkte er als Vizekonsul Brasiliens in Hamburg und war somit der einzige lateinamerikanische Intellektuelle seines Rangs, der während der Nazi-Diktatur derart lange in Deutschland lebte. Diese Erfahrung, die einem seit der Kindheit idealisierten Bezug zur deutschen Sprache viel differenziertere Färbungen verlieh, verstärkte trotz der ernüchternden Konfrontation mit dem Land unter dem Naziregime die geistigen Bande, die ihn und das kulturelle Erbe vom deutschsprachigen Europa zusammenhielten. Zu der Zeit verbrachte der künftige deutsche Übersetzer von Rosa, Curt Meyer-Clason (1910-2012) seine Jugendjahre in Brasilien als Kaufmann im Baumwollimport und geriet somit in Kontakt mit Agenten des NS-Regimes. Auf Befehl brasilianischer Behörden wurde er deshalb von 1942-1946 interniert. In der Haftzeit begann seine Beziehung zur Literatur, der er sich nach der Rückkehr nach Europa bis zu seinem Lebensende hauptberuflich widmete. In relativ kurzer Zeit machte sich Meyer-Clason einen Namen als Übersetzer iberoamerikanischer Literatur, insbesondere des mittlerweile international anerkannten Guimarães Rosa. Der vorliegende Band mit Beiträgen von prominenten deutschen, brasilianischen und portugiesischen Literaturwissenschaftler*innen setzt sich mit der intellektuellen Zusammenarbeit zwischen dem Schriftsteller und dem Übersetzer, einem besonderen Fall im transarealen Raum der deutsch-brasilianischen Kulturbeziehungen. This edited volume, which features essays from prominent German, Brazilian, and Portuguese scholars, deals with the personal relations and intensive intellectual collaboration between Joao Guimaraes Rosa (1908-1967) and his German translator Curt Meyer-Clason (1910-2012), a special case of German-Brazilian cultural exchange.

Faszination ist eine zentrale Form ästhetischen Erlebens in der Gegenwart, deren Merkmale und historisches Profil bislang nur ansatzweise beschrieben sind. Ausgehend vom modernen Verständnis von Faszination entwickelt die begriffsgeschichtlich breit fundierte Untersuchung einen formalen Begriff dieser ästhetischen Emotion, der für zwei bedeutende Epochen der ästhetischen, poetologischen und semiotischen Theoriebildung - die griechische Antike und das 18. Jahrhundert - diskutiert wird. In der Auseinandersetzung mit antiken Konzepten der Metapher und des Erhabenen sowie mit ästhetischen Positionen bei Addison, Mendelssohn, Klopstock, Hamann, Kant, Stewart und Goethe werden grundlegende Erklärungskomponenten für die Entstehung und Wirkung sprachlich induzierter Faszination aufgezeigt. Ästhetische Faszination ist kein Pathos-, sondern ein Tiefenkonzept. Sie resultiert aus einer Divergenzerfahrung in der Prozessierbarkeit von Sinnlichkeit und Bedeutung. Faszination bewirkt keine Verabschiedung, sondern eine Stimulierung des Intelligiblen.

Acta Slavica Estonica is an international series of publications on current issues of Russian and other Slavic languages, literatures and cultures. This issue of the subseries “Blokovskii sbornik” continues the series of studies started by Zara Mints in 1964. The majority of works from Section I of the book, “The Art of А. Blok in the Context of 19th–20th Century Literature,” is devoted to the study of the poet’s works, his perceptions of preceding writers’ works, and his biographical and artistic contacts with contemporaries. The articles in Section II, “Silver Age Literature: Creative and Social Strategies,” are mainly focused on artistic works and essays of modernist literati contemporary to Blok or to some extent resonating with his poetry and artistic worldview.

"Walking through Elysium stresses the subtle and intricate ways writers across time and space wove Vergil's underworld in Aeneid 6 into their works. These allusions operate on many levels, from the literary and political to the religious and spiritual. Aeneid 6 reshaped prior philosophical, religious, and poetic traditions of underworld descents, while offering a universalizing account of the spiritual that could accommodate prior as well as emerging religious and philosophical systems. Vergil's underworld became an archetype, a model flexible enough to be employed across genres, and periods, and among differing cultural and religious contexts. The essays in this volume speak to Vergil's incorporation of and influence on literary representations of underworlds, souls, afterlives, prophecies, journeys, and spaces, from sacred and profane to wild and civilized, tracing the impact of Vergil's underworld on authors such as Ovid, Seneca, Statius, Augustine, and Shelley, from Pagan and Christian traditions through Romantic and Spiritualist readings. Walking through Elysium asserts the deep and lasting influence of Vergil's underworld from the moment of its publication to the present day."--
