Abstract

This article explores the depiction of the sailor and the conflict between bourgeois life and its fluid ‘other’ in Theodor Storm's novella ‘Hans und Heinz Kirch’ (1883). The analysis brings together spatial theory, in particular Deleuze and Guattari's understanding of ‘smooth’ and ‘striated’ spaces, and reception aesthetics. Next to the ‘smooth’, fluid border of the ocean, the article identifies other in-between areas which play a central role in the novella as spheres of negotiating story and identity: the sailor's skin as the border between self and other; and the omissions of language and narration. It argues that the many ‘Leerstellen’ of the text correspond to the openness of the sea and open up to a ‘travelling’ reading. Readers are invited to actively explore the open spaces and ambiguities of the text and thus contribute to the production of meaning. Placing Storm's novella in the context of maritime modernity and regarding correspondences between the narrative discourse and the conflict between ‘smooth’ and ‘striated’ space, this article offers a new perspective on Storm.

迷失在海上:海洋现代性与 Theodor storm 的《Hans und Heinz Kirch》中的身份协商
本文探讨了 Theodor Storm 的长篇小说《Hans und Heinz Kirch》(1883 年)中对水手的描写以及资产阶级生活与流动的 "他者 "之间的冲突。分析结合了空间理论,特别是德勒兹和瓜塔里对 "平滑 "和 "条纹 "空间的理解,以及接受美学。除了 "平滑"、流动的海洋边界之外,文章还指出了其他一些介于两者之间的区域,这些区域在长篇小说中扮演着谈判故事和身份的核心角色:水手的皮肤是自我与他人的边界;语言和叙述的省略。该书认为,文本中的许多 "Leerstellen "与大海的开放性相对应,并为 "旅行式 "阅读打开了大门。读者被邀请积极探索文本的开放空间和模糊之处,从而为意义的生成做出贡献。本文将斯托姆的长篇小说置于海洋现代性的背景下,探讨了叙事话语与 "平滑 "和 "条纹 "空间之间冲突的对应关系,从而为读者提供了一个全新的视角。

期刊介绍: - German Life and Letters was founded in 1936 by the distinguished British Germanist L.A. Willoughby and the publisher Basil Blackwell. In its first number the journal described its aim as "engagement with German culture in its widest aspects: its history, literature, religion, music, art; with German life in general". German LIfe and Letters has continued over the decades to observe its founding principles of providing an international and interdisciplinary forum for scholarly analysis of German culture past and present. The journal appears four times a year, and a typical number contains around eight articles of between six and eight thousand words each.
