Her epilogue to the book mentions the media coverage of the 2016 presidential election in the US, which featured many allusions to the Faust legend, and speaks briefly about the durability of this text. The Faust Legend: From Marlowe and Goethe to Contemporary Drama and Film would serve any BAor MA-level course focused on the Faust Legend as an overview text to accompany an in-depth look at either Marlowe’s or Goethe’s text. Both its chronological focus and its inclusion of post-Goethe materials make this text accessible to students at these levels and it offers a thorough enough overview for an introductory course.","PeriodicalId":385309,"journal":{"name":"Goethe Yearbook","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133652737","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}

It is perhaps worth noting that this argument is directed against a notion of autonomy as the strict separation of art from actuality, of ideal from reality. At least to this reviewer, however, it is questionable whether that definition—as opposed, for example, to self-legislation—adequately captures what aesthetic autonomy means. Local differences aside, I find the general tendency of Pirholt’s analysis richly suggestive. His strategy is to excavate the experiential and material conditions that make specific modes of artistic achievement possible. This intention governs the fourth and fifth chapters as well. The fourth chapter introduces the concept of “semitechnical reproducibility” in order to characterize the means through which artworks were made accessible to Goethe and his contemporaries. From his early inspiring visit to Mannheim on, Goethe’s experience of art would have been impossible without reproductive techniques: drawn copies, engravings, lithographs, plaster casts, and so forth. Dresden and Italy were the (staggeringly important) autoptic exceptions, of course, but the grand enterprise of Kunst und Altertum is unthinkable apart from a flourishing industry of imagistic reproduction and publication. Pirholt brings out the significance of this medial configuration with admirable breadth and clarity, documenting inter alia Goethe’s highly developed and, to a degree, theoretically reflected “medientechnologisches Bewusstsein.” In the fifth chapter, Pirholt investigates one of the foundational conceptual structures of the age, the distinction between “ancient” and “modern” art. Approaches to this distinction on the conceptual level are, of course, well-known, but Pirholt’s exploration of the issue—in line with the entire orientation of his study—turns to concrete cases, the prize competitions Goethe and Meier organized and the essay “Polygnots Gemälde,” products from the cusp of the nineteenth century. Two distinct projects, one an effort to fix a set of classicist expectations as a norm for contemporary artistic production, the other the attempted “reconstruction” of lost or destroyed products of ancient works. It is in this chapter that Pirholt develops his own account of one of the central topics of research on Goethe’s thought generally: his concept of Anschauung. Perhaps it is not an altogether inaccurate characterization of these highly compelling pages to say that the goal is to disclose what might be termed the anthropology of Anschauung as it is developed in Goethe’s work. The center of that anthropological interpretation, as brought out in Pirholt’s compelling account, is the “unwiderstehliche Begierde nach unmittelbarem Anschauen.” Professor Pirholt is known to readers of the Goethe Yearbook and to Englishlanguage scholarship on Goethe and his age.

Goethe immediately draws an analogy connecting Weimar debates between Kantians and idealists to the earlier Nanjing debate about Jesuit and Buddhism metaphysics. His inclination to perceive parallels between philosophy in China and Germany anticipates his later comments to Eckermann about the similarities between the Chinese and European novels that served as the basis for his pronouncements about Weltliteratur (world literature). A careful reading of Goethe and Schiller's letters shows that as a heretical thinker, Goethe was inclined to identify with the Buddhist dismissal of Christian theism; however, the emerging atheism controversy surrounding accusations made against Fichte's lectures at the University of Jena led him to cautiously avoid entering into yet another Enlightenment debate about religion.","PeriodicalId":385309,"journal":{"name":"Goethe Yearbook","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121057106","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}

Jahrhundert ergründen und dessen Wirkung bis in die Gegenwart verfolgen. Ausgehend von der Briefkultur und dem Briefroman des 18. Jahrhunderts zeigt dieser Ansatz, wie in der Literatur eine neue Erlebniskultur geschaffen wird, die den Menschen zum \"Augenund Ohrenzeugen\" des Geschehens macht und Emotionen weckt, wobei diese Rezeptionsweise vergleichbar mit derjenigen von Filmen und den neuen sozialen Medien sei. Durch Elemente der Mündlichkeit wird eine Unmittelbarkeit des Daseins geschaffen, die Einblick in das Bewusstsein anderer Menschen ermöglicht und eine neue Dimension des Erlebens erreicht. In einem zweiten Schritt wird dieser theoretische Ansatz auf Bestseller wie Rouseaus Julie, ou La Nouvelle Héloїse oder Henry Fieldings The History of Tom Jones, a Foundling angewandt und gezeigt, dass deren Anziehungskraft gerade in den Merkmalen der Mündlichkeit liegt, die diese Unmittelbarkeit des Erlebens erzielen. Durch Elemente wie kurze Briefe, monologähnliche Reflektionen oder Dialoge wird eine Dramatisierung des Romans erreicht, die, wie anschlieβend ausgeführt wird, den umgekehrten Schritt, nämlich die Adaption dieser Romane für das Drama erlaubt, den Franz von Heufeld in einigen seiner Komödien für die Wiener Bühne erfolgreich vollzogen hat.","PeriodicalId":385309,"journal":{"name":"Goethe Yearbook","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132528881","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}

Commemorating the 1949 Goethe Year in Argentina","authors":"Robert Kelz","doi":"10.1353/gyr.2021.0013","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/gyr.2021.0013","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract:This essay examines commemorations of the 1949 Goethe Year in postwar Peronist Argentina. Its purview includes numerous musical performances, theatrical presentations, academic lectures, and written scholarship. Most activities occurred in the capital city of Buenos Aires; however, this investigation also makes excursions beyond the epicenter to Mendoza, La Plata, and Rosario, as well as neighboring Uruguay, Chile, and Brazil. There was no German author so broadly recognized and esteemed as Goethe, so the plethora of tributes to him represent an opportunity to analyze the resonance of a German figure among the full diversity of Argentina's educated population, including Argentines of all political persuasions, European nationals and immigrants, and large, conflictive German-speaking blocs of antifascist, Jews, nationalists, and recently arrived Nazis. The sweeping range of homages permits an analysis of Goethe's reception among all these groups while providing insights into their perspectives on Peronism, Nazism, post-war European politics, and, especially, Argentine literary history. Argentina and Goethe are twin lenses for exploring the role of art as an instrument and an inspiration in the cultural contact zones that existed among immigrant groups, their hosts, and nations of origin.","PeriodicalId":385309,"journal":{"name":"Goethe Yearbook","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121212200","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}
