Abstract

Abstract:This essay proposes to reassess the importance of Wolfgang Hildesheimer's radio work Monolog (first broadcast in 1964) in the German writer's oeuvre by studying its manifold and complex thematization of old age. The protagonist's self-imposed solitude and yearning for disembodiment are interpreted in the light of theories of aging that are based on both chronometric and "lived" time. This close reading of old age in Monolog duly takes into account the medium for which it was written and is informed by both Hildesheimer's previous radio art and his evolving world view.

时间的保留与遗失:论沃尔夫冈·希尔德海默《独白》中老年主题化的复杂性

摘要:本文试图通过研究沃尔夫冈·希尔德海默(Wolfgang Hildesheimer)的广播作品《独白》(1964年首次播出)对老年的多元而复杂的主题化来重新评价这部作品在这位德国作家作品中的重要性。主人公的自我强加的孤独和对分离的渴望是在基于时间和“活”时间的衰老理论的基础上解释的。《独白》中对老年的细致解读恰如其分地考虑到了写作的媒介，并受到了希尔德海默以前的广播艺术和他不断发展的世界观的影响。
