In the process, Koether advanced a form of critique as a practice with the ability to actively determine the conditions for one’s own life, connecting to contemporaneous evaluations of models of critique for their ability to initiate change. Spex not only provided a platform for evaluation and judgment, but functioned as a launch pad where the habit of responding and taking position to current events was routinely exercised in step with the magazine’s monthly publication rhythm and Cologne’s dynamic art calendar.","PeriodicalId":42506,"journal":{"name":"INTERNATIONALES ARCHIV FUR SOZIALGESCHICHTE DER DEUTSCHEN LITERATUR","volume":"45 1","pages":"471 - 488"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2020-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1515/iasl-2020-0028","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45728895","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The south-eastern border region of the former Habsburg Monarchy is the subject of publications of essayistic contributions and texts by authors from the region, with Heinrich Zillich in particular playing a central role. The integration of Transylvania followed two basic lines: On the one hand, a group of people who had been living outside the inner-German language area for centuries was established as an integral part of the ʻGerman ethnic groupʼ. On the other hand, Transylvania, which has always been inhabited by different ethnic groups, was presented as a model of a clearly hierarchical region in the sense of the national ideology.","PeriodicalId":42506,"journal":{"name":"INTERNATIONALES ARCHIV FUR SOZIALGESCHICHTE DER DEUTSCHEN LITERATUR","volume":"45 1","pages":"439 - 455"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2020-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43847141","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Jahrhundert bis zum universalen didaktischen Einsatz des ‚Gedichtvergleichs‘. Erich Auerbach hat in seinem für die komparatistische Philologie grundlegenden Werk Mimesis im ersten Kapitel („Die Narbe des Odysseus“) die Bibel mit Homer konfrontiert und dabei die entsprechende Methode und das daraus folgende Erkenntnisziel formuliert: „Wir haben die beiden Texte, und im Anschluß daran die beiden Stilarten, die sie verkörpern, miteinander verglichen, um einen Ausgangspunkt für Versuche über die literarische Darstellung des Wirklichen in der europäischen Kultur zu gewinnen.“ Bereits in der Literaturwissenschaft selbst aber ist das Verfahren des Vergleichens doppelbödig: einerseits selbstverständlich, andererseits auch umstritten. Eine philologische Erkenntnis – so Peter Szondi – beruht darauf, dass sich das Kunstwerk in seiner Singularität behauptet und bewährt – und dementsprechend analysiert werden sollte: „Kein Kunstwerk behauptet, daß es unvergleichbar ist [...], wohl aber verlangt es, daß es nicht verglichen werde.“ Nicht nur in den Geisteswissenschaften ist das Vergleichen ebenso zwangsläufig wie ubiquitär, als Verfahren scheint es zu den grundlegenden Denkgewohnheiten zu gehören – in den Wissenschaften wie im Alltag. Diese Selbstverständlichkeit und der mit ihr verbundene Neutralitätsund Objektivitätsanspruch sind freilich trügerisch: Das Vergleichen besitzt nicht nur eine Geschichte, es ist zugleich eine Praxis, in der nicht zwei oder mehrere Objekte in ihrer objektiven Beziehung zueinander betrachtet werden, sondern in der Akteure, Interessen und","PeriodicalId":42506,"journal":{"name":"INTERNATIONALES ARCHIV FUR SOZIALGESCHICHTE DER DEUTSCHEN LITERATUR","volume":"45 1","pages":"229 - 230"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2020-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1515/iasl-2020-0012","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41698019","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Asie centrale (1843), he perceives Russia and Siberia against the backdrop of his experience in the ʻNew Worldʼ. As a natural scientist, he correlates global data, for example in his plant geography and mountain studies, as a vulcanologist or climatologist.
