The author refers to the Italian novel as a rewriting and not a translation claiming to “Arabize Italian and Italianize Arabic”. However, as I will prove in this paper, Lakhous’s rewriting shows an asymmetrical relationship between the two languages since Italian is more prevalent in both versions at different levels. Consequently, the two texts constitute two different steps of the same creative process that begun in 2001 and ended in 2006 when Lakhous published the ultimate and perfected version of the text in Italian.","PeriodicalId":375431,"journal":{"name":"Colloquium: New Philologies","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122941377","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Das Wesen der Heimat nach Kurt Stavenhagen","authors":"Andrzej Gniazdowski","doi":"10.23963/cnp.2021.6.1.6","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.23963/cnp.2021.6.1.6","url":null,"abstract":"The aim of the paper is to reconstruct the main premises of the notion of “homeland” as analyzed by Kurt Stavenhagen, the significant Latvian-German philosopher of the first half of the twentieth century. The paper points out the differences in Stavenhagen’s approach to the notion of homeland between the first and second edition of his study, Heimat als Grundlage menschlicher Existenz (Homeland as the Basis of Human Existence) from 1939 and Heimat als Lebenssinn (Homeland as the Meaning of Life) from 1948. The paper informs about the biographical and political background of Stavenhagen’s analysis and argues that his philosophical thought belongs to the so-called phenomenological movement. The thesis of the paper is that Stavenhagen’s definition of the homeland as a kind of community presupposes Ferdinand Tonnies’ distinction between community and society, which was fundamental for German sociology of that time. The author argues that Stavenhagen follows Max Scheler’s ideological misinterpretation of Tonnies’ distinction in his “war writings” in that he contrasts two types of sociality: authentic and unauthentic. These types are characteristic for German and Anglo-American social relations, respectively. In this light, Stavenhagen’s analysis turns out to be not so much a phenomenology but rather a mythology of the homeland. In reference to Leszek Kolakowski’s book The Presence of Myth (1984), the paper presents the need for answering to the “phenomenon of the indifference of the world” as a proper meaning of Stavenhagen’s mythology.","PeriodicalId":375431,"journal":{"name":"Colloquium: New Philologies","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129432001","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Pechriggl","doi":"10.23963/cnp.2021.6.1.9","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.23963/cnp.2021.6.1.9","url":null,"abstract":"In Erinnerung an Gerda E. Moser \u0000The article examines Heimat as a multilayered signification and affectively invested phenomenon in the context of the related social imaginary. A topologic perspective elucidating the role of topos in the Heimat imaginary is central to this examination deployed around the idea that Heimat is a paratopos, a place nearby, protecting against the Other/s. Although “Heimat” is a German term which cannot be translated easily, something of the phenomenon seems to exist in cultures other than the Germanophone. It is part of philosophical culture, as will be shown with the help of relevant philosophers. Political imaginaries are also often founded by the “Heimat” phenomenon by way of an origin myth narrating the beginnings of a society or community as homeland or home country, patris, sometimes metropolis, patrie, Heimat etc. After a brief look back into the Ancient Greek imaginary of the patris, the article discusses the gender asymmetry in the topology of “Heimat” and what the author calls the screen imaginary of femininity. This section is followed by a group-psychoanalytic consideration of affective ambivalence and the defense mechanism of splitting at work in the collective imaginary of Heimat and nationalism. Last but not least, the article tries to sketch some “transtopic” ways out of these xenophobic and martial aspects of Heimat as constructed “against” the foreigner as the enemy.","PeriodicalId":375431,"journal":{"name":"Colloquium: New Philologies","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128964039","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I argue that it is not so much Heimat itself that needs to be examined but rather the subject area which in-cludes objects such as Heimat. I develop this concept with the help of Georg Misch’s analytical tools. Heimat as an object shows itself in a specific form of speech -- „Evozieren“ (to evoke). Objects of evoking speech, like objects of practical knowledge, are subject to specific conditions of knowledge and speech that are tied to the individual experience of the speaker. This insight sheds new light on certain confusions of representational references in the discourses on Heimat.","PeriodicalId":375431,"journal":{"name":"Colloquium: New Philologies","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115232331","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Neymeyr","doi":"10.23963/cnp.2021.6.1.3","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.23963/cnp.2021.6.1.3","url":null,"abstract":"Joseph Roth’s Radetzkymarsch opens up a multifaceted historical horizon: By unfolding the fictional story of the Trotta family in the crisis-ridden final period of the Habsburg era, he exemplifies cultural diagnosis through individual fates. Starting with contemporary discourse on Austria, the essay analyses the significance of the Heimat myth in Roth’s Radetzkymarsch and its mediation alongside the hero myth, and the Kaiser myth. It examines the strategies the novel uses to satirically counteract these mythological configurations. \u0000In the characters’ mentality, defeatism, resignation, and anticipations of doom – extending to apocalyptic visions – are combined with regressive nostalgia for fantasies of home, and ironic scepticism. The result is a revealing panorama of heterogeneous sensitivities in a sociopsychological context. The portrait of the hero of Solferino, who once saved the emperor’s life and through his portrait remains ever-present in the lives of his descendants, has a leitmotif function: Although the obsession with ancestors in the hero myth offers orientation and support to the hero’s son and grandson, it also negatively affects their identity formation. However, it is not only the subject who is affected by the loss of inner stability in the final period of the Austro-Hungarian Dual Monarchy before the First World War. Without illusion, the novel radically shows symptoms of a diffusion of consciousness in the aged Emperor Franz Joseph I himself, rendering him unsuitable as a fatherly authority of reassuring sovereignty and strength – despite all the representative staging. \u0000The essay examines the novel’s tense web of motifs by analysing the strategies of ironic dismantling that emerge in the oscillation between myth-making and demythologising. Aspects of rhetorical design are also taken into account, as they significantly contribute to the aesthetics of Roth’s epoch novel.","PeriodicalId":375431,"journal":{"name":"Colloquium: New Philologies","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126442826","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Es taucht in verschiedenen Kontexten auf: Landeskunde, Werbung in Zusammenhang mit der Herstellung von idyllischen Stimmungsillusionen, Sozialpolitik, Fluchtlingsproblematik, Integrationsprozesse, Identitatsbildung, etc. Dementsprechend kommen verschiedene Aspekte des Begriffs ,Heimat‘ zum Vorschein. \u0000Einen Grund fur die Auseinandersetzung mit diesem Begriff bietet nicht zuletzt das Bedurfnis, sich selbst in seiner Eigenart zu begreifen und von dem Anderen als Fremden abzugrenzen. Im Spiegel der Heimatvorstellungen sich selbst zu erkennen bildet eines der verbreiteten Motive fur die Zuwendung zu diesem Thema. Die Heimat-Diskurse scheinen auserdem ein Mittel zu sein, die existenziellen Sorgen, die manche haben, direkter zur Sprache zu bringen: die Angst vor dem Verlust traditioneller Lebensordnungen, vor den Veranderungen, vor der Verschlechterung der Lebensbedingungen usw. In der theoretischen Auseinandersetzung mit dem Thema ,Heimat‘ zeigt sich eine Doppelstruktur: Sie ist sowohl geschichtsorientierte Vergewisserung eines Vergangenen, eines Schicksals (wenn man will), wie auch Gegenwartsdiagnose. Die Heimatproblematik ruft Interesse auf verschiedenen sozialen Ebenen hervor: Auf der Seite des Individuums bildet Heimat eine alltagsweltliche Bezugsgrose zum direkten Lebens- und sozialen Umfeld, die Bestandteil einer Biografie sind und den Menschen einen gewissen Halt geben. Auf der anderen Seite ist sie ein Thema in der Politik und hier kann man nicht selten beobachten, dass ,Heimat‘ durch Konservative und Rechtspopulist*innen in einen problematischen Kontext ruckt. \u0000Ein oberflachlicher Blick auf gegenwartige Heimatdiskussionen und Heimatsdiskurse wurde bereits genugen, um festzustellen, dass der Heimatbegriff ein ambivalenter ist – ob Heimat als bereits bestehende Herkunfts- oder noch kollektiv zu schaffende Ankunftsheimat verstanden wird. Dieser Ambivalenz scheint die Vorstellung zugrunde zu liegen, dass Heimat grundsatzlich ein Raum – Ort, Territorium, Wohnsitz, Umgebung – ist. Mit dem Raum werden dann verschiedene symbolische Gehalte assoziiert und verschiedene funktionale Bestimmungen verbunden, die das Konzept ,Heimat‘ bilden. \u0000Vor diesem Hintergrund ist zu fragen, ob es zu der Vorstellung von Heimat als einem raumlichen Objekt mit bestimmten ,sekundaren‘ symbolischen Eigenschaften wie Identitatsgrose, Lebensordnung, Traditionsressource etc. eine Alternative gibt. Vor allem zwei Aspekte sollen dabei ins Zentrum rucken: 1) Wo siedelt sich ,Heimat‘ ontologisch, das heist zwischen Realitat und Imaginarem an? 2) Inwieweit kann ,Heimat‘ als Mythos betrachtet werden? \u0000Die ,Realitat‘ oder zumindest ,Wirklichkeit‘ der Heimat kann problematisiert werden, ausgehend beispielsweise von der Annahme, dass das Wort ,Heimat‘ – sei es retro- oder prospektiv betrachtet – unter anderem ein Erlebnisausdruck ist. Als Erinnerung erweist sich Heimat als ein utop","PeriodicalId":375431,"journal":{"name":"Colloquium: New Philologies","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125287135","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Die Wandlung in Thomas Manns Vorstellung von seiner geistigen Heimat","authors":"Liisa Steinby","doi":"10.23963/cnp.2021.6.1.4","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.23963/cnp.2021.6.1.4","url":null,"abstract":"Thomas Mann did not produce any regional literature, despite his Buddenbrooks being a Lubeck novel. In the essay Bilse und ich (1906), he explains that Lubeck was used only as a material to which he assigned symbolic meaning for creating a work of art. However, in the essay Lubeck als geistige Lebensform (1926) Mann writes that Lubeck is the growing ground of his entire artistic work. Representing an ethical stance on life, it stands for Lebensburgerlichkeit, i.e. a commitment to the responsibilities of life. This is in accordance with how Mann, in his Betrachtungen eines Unpolitischen (1918), describes the Germans as being positioned in the “middle ground” where the demands of the intellect, or spirit (Geist), and the unconscious urges of life attain a balance. In Joseph und seine Bruder, rooted intellectually in the epoch of the Weimar Republic, the idea of Lebensburgerlichkeit can be recognized in a biblical setting. However, in Doctor Faustus (1947), which mirrors the epoch of the Third Reich, it is Kaisersaschern, the protagonist’s (fictional) school town that represents the Germans’ intellectual-spiritual stance on life, which Mann now describes as an “antiquatedness of the soul”. In this “soul”, the irrational forces of life are uncontrollable. In the essay Deutschland und die Deutschen (1945), Mann describes Lubeck by quotations taken from the description of the medieval atmosphere of Kaisersaschern. Lubeck no longer represents the Lebensburgerlichkeit but has become a representative of what is questionable (“demonic”) in the Germans.","PeriodicalId":375431,"journal":{"name":"Colloquium: New Philologies","volume":"90 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121486477","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
