Abstract

Goetz' wildes Denken zwischen Friedrich Nietzsche und Niklas Luhmann setzt sich mit der Kommunikation der Gesellschaft auseinander - bruchstückhaft, radikal subjektiv, fast schon universalpoetisch. Seine erkenntnispoetische Literatur versteht sich als Kunst, die das Aufbrechen des Verstehens in einer unübersichtlichen Welt des Geredes begreiflich macht, indem sie das Unbestimmte, das Vieldeutige und das Widersprüchliche einschließt. Die literarische Anverwandlung philosophischer Ansätze u.a. von Nietzsche, Luhmann, Adorno und Derrida bildet das Fundament des ekstatischen Denkens bei Rainald Goetz. Grundlegend für die literarische Erkenntnis ist das dialektisch angelegte Wechselspiel zwischen dionysischer Leidenschaft und apollinischer Analyse. Durch das Offenhalten des Sinns versteht sich der Text als dialogischer Beitrag zur gesellschaftlichen Reflexion im Sinne der Aufklärung.

Abstract

Rooted in Enlightenment rationalism, modernity tends to privilege masculine-connoted characteristics - conscious subjective agency, rational control and self-containment, the subjugation of nature - and has generated a conceptualization of human subjectivity emphasizing these qualities. Yet the costs of this conception of human selfhood are high, and at modernity's most acute moments of historical crisis writers and artists can be seen turning to feminine-connoted figurations - nature, tradition, myth and spirituality, intuition, relationality, flux. In recent decades studies have examined the cultural crisis of German modernity, notably at the turn of the nineteenth to the twentieth century, as a crisis of masculinity. Feminist critiques, meanwhile, have viewed cultural history as male-generated and 'phallocentric,' in need of a feminine corrective. The innovation of this book is to examine these two gendered perspectives side by side, investigating the culturally symbolic significance of gender in post 1945 German language literature via a sequence of paired readings of major, thematically related texts by male and female authors, including Ingeborg Bachmann's novel 'Malina' (1971) and Max Frisch's 'Mein Name sei Gantenbein' (1964); Frisch's 'Homo Faber' (1957) and Christa Wolf's 'Störfall' (1987); Elfriede Jelinek's 'Die Klavierspielerin' and Rainald Goetz's 'Irre' (both 1983); and Heiner Müller's 'Die Hamletmaschine' (1977) and Christa Wolf's 'Kassandra' (1983). Finally, Barbara Köhler's eight-poem cycle 'Elektra. Spiegelungen' (written 1984-85; published 1991) is considered as offering a way past the 'impasse' of the male and female viewpoints.

Abstract

In Germany between the mid-1990s and the mid-2000s there was an unprecedented 'confusion of the spheres' of literature and popular music. Popular musicians 'crossed over' into the literary field, editors and writers called for contemporary German literature to become more like popular music, writers attempted to borrow structural aspects from music or paid new attention to popular music at the thematic level. Others sought to raise their profiles by means of performance models taken from the popular music field. This book sets out to make sense of this situation. It argues for more inclusive and detailed attention to what it calls 'musico-centric fiction', for which it discerns intellectual precursors going back to the 1960s and also identifies examples written since the turn of the millennium, after the would-be death of 'pop literature'. In doing so, it focuses on fiction and paratextual interventions by authors including Peter Handke, Rolf Dieter Brinkmann, Rainald Goetz, Andreas Neumeister, Thomas Meinecke, Matthias Politycki, Frank Goosen, Benjamin von Stuckrad-Barre, Thomas Brussig, Karen Duve, and Kerstin Grether. Andrew W. Hurley is Senior Lecturer in German and Cultural Studies at the University of Technology, Sydney, Australia.
