Abstract
This article is concerned with the long poem doggerland (2021) by Ulrike Draesner, which we read here primarily in its relationship to the temporal disorder of the Anthropocene. We explore some specific manifestations of what we term ‘Anthropocene arrhythmia’ in Draesner's text, in particular through its engagement with linearity and cyclicality. We conclude by suggesting that Draesner's use of language both produces and demands a kind of philological practice that is tilted towards recovery and creativity. Our article illustrates the ways in which this ‘reparative philology’, working at the intimate scale of a single poem, can cultivate care and attention not just to the rupture of the Anthropocene, but also to the possibilities for recovery in human and geological history, interspecies relationships and a sense of place across time.
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.
