In Red Vienna's educational reform movement he found a welcome determination to replace authoritarian concepts of education with a new emphasis on learning by direct experience. Commissioned by Red Vienna in 1931 to paint a picture for the City Hall, Kokoschka chose to reflect these ideals. He later described Vienna, View from the Wilhelminenberg, with its echoes of Brueghel's Children's Games (Museum of Art History, Vienna), as his 'first picture with a political meaning'. Nachdem der Vater ihm als Kind eine im neunzehnten Jahrhundert hergestellte Nachbildung des Orbis Sensualium Pictus (1658) von Jan Amos Comenius geschenkt hatte, vertrat der Maler Oskar Kokoschka die Meinung, dass Bildung ein kreativer Selbstentdeckungsprozess sein sollte, der alle fünf Sinne und vor allem das Sehvermögen in Anspruch nimmt. Im Schulreformprogramm des Roten Wien begrüßte er den Beschluss, autoritäre Erziehungskonzepte zu beseitigen und den Akzent auf das Lernen durch unmittelbare Erfahrung zu legen. Als er 1931 vom 'Roten Wien' beauftragt wurde, ein Bild für das Rathaus zu malen, entschloss sich Kokoschka, auf diese Ideale Bezug zu nehmen. Später beschrieb er Wien, vom Wilhelminenberg gesehen, das an Brueghel's Kinderspiele (Kunsthistorisches Museum, Wien) erinnert, als sein 'erstes Bild mit politischer Bedeutung'.","PeriodicalId":41034,"journal":{"name":"Austrian Studies","volume":"14 1","pages":"215 - 226"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43013035","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Bachmann here represents the Berlin of the Economic Miracle through reference to the satirical tradition and its relationship to utopian thinking. The narrative draws upon an intertextual network, including Voltaire's \"Candide\", Büchner's \"Lenz\" and \"Leonce and Lena\", and Kafka's 'A Country Doctor'. The sick-to-death narrator describes the pathography of the city, exposing the symptomatic layers of a traumatic and repressed history. Berlin functions here as counter-location to Vienna, both cities in need of betterment but probably not to be made better in a world far from the best possible. Dieser Aufsatz behandelt den dystopischen Text von Ingeborg Bachmann, \"Ein Ort für Zufälle\" (1964). Bachmann stellt hier das Berlin des Wirtschaftswunders unter Heranziehung der satirischen Tradition und ihrer Beziehung zum utopischen Denken dar. Die Erzählung basiert auf einem intertextuellen Netzwerk, das Voltaires \"Candide\", Büchners \"Lenz\" und \"Leonce und Lena\", und Kafkas 'Ein Landarzt' einschließt. Die kranke bzw. krankhafte Erzählerfigur beschreibt auch die Pathographie der Stadt, legt die symptomatischen Schichten einer traumatischen und verdrängten Geschichte bloß. Berlin funktioniert hier auch als Gegenort zu Wien, zu verbessernde aber wahrscheinlich unverbesserliche Städte in einer Welt, die lange nicht die bestmögliche ist.","PeriodicalId":41034,"journal":{"name":"Austrian Studies","volume":"15 1","pages":"112 - 129"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47034966","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
