The aim of this essay is to analyze the modalities and implications of group formation and collective speaking in the context of the avantgardes, taking into account the often heterogeneous objectives and the different contexts of these collective undertakings and discourses. Special attention will be devoted to the discursive articulation of group formation – the use of a performative ‘we,’ alongside concepts such as ‘group’ or the label of a movement – with attention also being paid towards the distinct tension between groups as institutionalized phenomena and groups offering alternative ways of social organization (apart from established artistic or institutional circles).","PeriodicalId":43010,"journal":{"name":"ARCADIA","volume":"73 1","pages":"67 - 94"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85650179","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper brings to light four significant Middle High German verse narratives from the 13th or early-14th century that demonstrate remarkable similarities with stories contained in Boccaccio’s Decameron. While the study of Boccaccio’s sources has traditionally been focused primarily on Old French (fabliaux) or Latin sources, here I introduce a number of texts that were composed just a few decades earlier and which express, in surprising parallel, strikingly similar themes that could be straight from the textbook the Italian poet might have drawn from. We have, of course, no specific evidence as to Boccaccio’s direct familiarity with late-medieval German literature, but the motif analysis reveals major parallels between the examples in The Decameron and in those mæren.","PeriodicalId":43010,"journal":{"name":"ARCADIA","volume":"3 1","pages":"260 - 278"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85988047","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To examine the range of (re-)presentation strategies and to shed some light on the transfictional background of the character as it is represented in Theodor Fontane’s novel Der Stechlin, I borrow ‘interfigurality’ as an umbrella term from Wolfgang G. Müller. Fontane’s myth-reflexive intermedia strategies come fully to the fore in contrast with the unknown novel Lady Melusine by Eufemia von Ballestrem on the one hand and in comparison with contemporary art on the other. The localization within an intermedia network reveals that the practice of the literary re-production of realistic characters as a “work on myth” (Blumenberg) is reflexive and critical or affirmative towards popular usage such as branding, labeling, or namedropping.","PeriodicalId":43010,"journal":{"name":"ARCADIA","volume":"23 1","pages":"210 - 238"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80885434","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mit »Von der Armut am Geiste«: Die Geschichtsphilosophie des jungen Lukács eröffnet er wieder ein „unheimliches Panorama“ durch eine „philologisch präzise Lektüre“, wie Johannes Steinzinger anlässlich des Celan‐ Buches bemerkte; allerdings entsteht diesmal ein Panorama, das rein textwissenschaftlich betrachtet in einen Abgrund blicken lässt, da Dogàs Arbeit die ‚Interpretation‘ eines Buches leistet, die in einer endgültigen und abgerundeten Form nie entstanden ist: des Buches von Georg Lukács über Dostojewski. Die Theorie des Romans (verfasst 1915) kann nach Lukács als „Einleitungskapitel“ (24) dieses geplanten, umfassenden Werks betrachtet werden. Zur nie geschriebenen Arbeit Lukács’ über Dostojewski, deren Konturen und Aufbau in den sog. DostojewskiNotizen überliefert sind, heißt es bei Dogà: „Es sollte ein Buch sein, das alle fragmentarischen, apodiktischen Äußerungen Lukács’ der Jahre 1911–1917 über Dostojewski in eine klare und definitive Richtung stellt und löst.” (116) Sogar wenn man den Worten Agambens Glauben schenkt, dass „[j]edes geschriebene Werk [...] als Vorwort (oder eher als verlorene Wachsschicht) eines nie geschriebenen Werkes betrachtet werden [kann]”, ist man geneigt, dem Unternehmen, das die Interpretation eines nicht fertig geschriebenen Werks anzielt, mit Skepsis zu begegnen. Doch das Versprechen der vorliegenden Arbeit ist, genauer betrachtet, nicht lediglich eine Interpretation der fragmentarischen Notizen zu leisten, sondern diese Notizen in den breit verstandenen ideengeschichtlichen und literaturhistorischen Kontext einzubetten.
