In 1848 Richard Wagner began what would become the largest stage work of his career, the Ring of the Nibelung. In preparation for the task he composed an overview of the Nibelung myth designed to lead to a drama; he then composed the verse 'libretto' Siegfried's Death. Although he abandoned the idea of a single opera on Siegfried in favour the Ring cycle, he did include the two early documents in his collected works. The present volume seeks to inform the English-speaking reader in three ways: by providing modern, reliable translations of the two Wagner texts, which are otherwise not available (the German original is provided on facing pages); by furnishing an overview of German scholarship available to Wagner and others working on the Nibelung legend in the first half of the 19th century; and by making available a bibliography of further reading.

Die Intersektionalitätsforschung befasst sich mit der Überschneidung von Merkmalen der Privilegierung und Marginalisierung wie Geschlecht, Klasse, ›Rasse‹, Nation, Religion, Sexualität, Behinderung und Alter. Diese Studie, ein Gemeinschaftswerk von zehn Literaturwissenschaftler_innen, hat zwei Ziele: zum einen die Erschließung der bislang vor allem soziologisch geprägten Intersektionalitätsforschung für die Literatur- und Kulturwissenschaft, zum anderen ihre Erweiterung um eine historische Perspektive. Als Fallbeispiel dienen drei Zeugnisse der deutschen Literatur- und Filmgeschichte: das mittelalterliche »Nibelungenlied«, Thea von Harbous Roman »Das Nibelungenbuch« (1923) und Fritz Langs zweiteiliger Film »Die Nibelungen« (1924). »Bedekovic, Kraß und Lembke legen einen Sammelband vor, der erstens beweist, dass eine theoriegeleitete Lektüre eine echte epistemologische Erweiterung darstellen kann [...]. Zweitens schafft er es so, bekannte Gegenstände in neue Kontexte zu bringen und mit Fragen an die untersuchten Texte und Filme heranzutreten, die bislang in dieser Form noch nicht gestellt wurden. Und drittens schließlich wird deutlich, dass Mediävistik selbst als Kulturwissenschaft verstanden werden kann, die auch außerhalb rein philologischer Kategorien beachtliche Erkenntnispotenziale birgt.« Martin Mann, literaturkritik.de, 5 (2015) »Informative Einführung.« Hans Helmut Prinzler, www.hhprinzler.de, 7 (2014) Besprochen in: GERMANISTIK, 55/3-4 (2014)

This highly original book draws on narrative and film theory, psychoanalysis, and musicology to explore the relationship between aesthetics and anti-Semitism in two controversial landmarks in German culture. David Levin argues that Richard Wagner's opera cycle Der Ring des Nibelungen and Fritz Lang's 1920s film Die Nibelungen creatively exploit contrasts between good and bad aesthetics to address the question of what is German and what is not. He shows that each work associates a villainous character, portrayed as non-Germanic and Jewish, with the sometimes dramatically awkward act of narration. For both Wagner and Lang, narration--or, in cinematic terms, visual presentation--possesses a typically Jewish potential for manipulation and control. Consistent with this view, Levin shows, the Germanic hero Siegfried is killed in each work by virtue of his unwitting adoption of a narrative role. Levin begins with an explanation of the book's theoretical foundations and then applies these theories to close readings of, in turn, Wagner's cycle and Lang's film. He concludes by tracing how Germans have dealt with the Nibelungen myths in the wake of the Second World War, paying special attention to Michael Verhoeven's 1989 film The Nasty Girl. His fresh and interdisciplinary approach sheds new light not only on Wagner's Ring and Lang's Die Nibelungen, but also on the ways in which aesthetics can be put to the service of aggression and hatred. The book is an important contribution to scholarship in film and music and also to the broader study of German culture and national identity.
